Chapter 27 Fighting Silver wolf (3)
Butler George, who had seen Max killing one-starred beasts with a single attack, didn't hesitate after hearing him and changed the target. He knew that this was the best solution to this situation.
He could see although, Max had a strong attack power but his control over it or his movement speed were not any outstanding. He would only be able to kill the injured silver wolf with his strong firepower while he dealt with the Panther.
Although Butler George was also injured and his left hand was no longer usable. As an experienced two-star mage, he could still stall for some time or possibly defeat the Panther as it was a normal two starred beasts and was not as strong as the silver wolf.
Butler George casted his spell and the rain of mana Spears rained down on the panther. The panther evaded most of the swords but some still struck it and injured it a little. The Panther stopped pursuing Max, its predatory eyes focused on Butler George.
...
Just as he the silver wolf saw them changing enemies, its eyes burned with fury. These tiny humans were mocking him by swapping positions mid-fight in front of him. How can it endure the humiliation to being underestimated?
The silver wolf's claw started to glow in white light and it swiped it in Max's direction.
Max felt the air turn heavy around him and his expression turned even more serious. He casted a [ Fireball ] using 200 mana points and sent it toward the incoming claw. While he put some distance between himself and the wolf. His target only needed to be in 20 meter range for him to successfully hit his target.
Booom!
An Explosion resounded and the earth had a slight tremble under his feet. Max focused his attention on the silver wolf.
'From the intensity of the explosion, its claw should be crippled right?' Max thought while he tried to cast a fireball with 400 mana but to his dismay, he couldn't do it.
"Mm?"
Growl~
Just when he was thinking about why he wasn't able to cast a powerful fireball, a growl filled with pain and fury reached his ears.
He looked at the wolf. Its front paw which he used to strike the 'almighty' [ Fireball ] was bleeding profusely and its sharp long nails, and fur was burned and flesh was visible in between burn marks.
"Oh! It seems my fireball is effective even against you." Max chuckled and conjured another fireball. This time he consumed 300 mana points which he was able to do it with ease.
A big crimson fireball, one-meter diameter in size appeared in front of him. His face lost all his colour as he consumed most of his mana and stamina with this attack but his eyes flashed with a hint of madness. If he doesn't kill it, it will kill him.
Finally, The silver wolf's eyes showed traces of fear. That previous human was barely able to inflict injuries on it with his powerful attacks but this human did it with his first attack. It hesitated whether to continue fighting or flee. Unfortunately, Its hesitation became the cause of its doom.
The reason Max's [ Fireball ] was so strong and could injure a beasts like silver wolf who was a peak two starred beast and had high magic defence, was because his fireball attack was not normal attack. It was a fire elemental attack.
Elemental attacks are many times stronger than ordinary attacks. While fire's basic nature is destruction and when Max injects his elemental mana into the fireball and makes it rotate at high speeds, it acts like a bomb that explodes upon contact and burns everything to cinders.
"Go and explode!"
Max shouted and The fireball was shot out like a cannonball which struck it on its head. Max had consumed a few more mana points to forcibly increase its speed so that the silver wolf can't dodge it.
Silver wolf came out of its reverie when it heard Max's yell but it was too late and it could only raise its injured claws to defend itself.
BOOOM~
Howl~
The silver wolf howled in pain. With a loud explosion wolf's forelegs vaporized in the extreme heat of the explosion, its thick skin around the neck area was charred black. Its skull was bleeding. It lay on the ground yelping and howling in pain.
Max ignored this and walked forward. He stopped when he was five meters from the wolf. He raised his hand and summoned another fireball but this one was one third the size of the previous one.
"Explode!"
He swiped his hand down and the fireball landed squarely on the wolf's head and exploded.
Silver Wolf's thick skull was pulverized when the fireball exploded on it without any resistance.
...
"Haah!"
Seeing that wolf was finally dead Max breathed heavily. He then opened his status screen to check how many mana and stamina points he still has.

He then glanced at the butler George and panther fighting. George wasn't in any disadvantageous position thus, Max looked toward the remaining one started beasts who were trying to break into the room where Lilly took his stepmothers and sisters in law.
He tried to walk in that direction but staggered and almost fell on the ground.
"Aaii...! I'll have to improve my stamina basic attributes otherwise even with enough mana I won't be able to fight properly." He concluded. His legs were shaking and his breathing was rough. His body was feeling stiff and was aching all over.
He staggeringly walked toward them when he was almost twenty meters away he squeezed out last every last bit of his mana and casted another fireball amidst them.
Boom!
An explosion occurred and before he could see the result of his attack, he lost consciousness because his current weak body couldn't handle all the stress and complete consumption of his stamina and mana.
Before losing consciousness he heard "You did well son!.
*******
