Chapter 39: Developing girls
Why would Max develop Rosangela, who was no one other than a foreign girl from three families' branches?
That was because of his harem-seeking trait, and it was also a fun experience. Max felt he would always bring himself closer to mana should he play with other people's skills and mana pools.
And his harem-seeking trait wanted to have girls chase after him. Who said that only men chased after skirts? If Rosangela grew stronger, keeping up with Max's tests and her own progress, Max would become a prominent figure in her heart.
In this way, she would chase after him. It sounded pretty cute and arousing, for Rosangela was a woman of irresistible curves. Her beauty fell short of twin dragons, which was normal given her origins.
Nonetheless, the fact that Max could have a woman chasing after him was already a somewhat thrilling idea.
In the future, one of them might end up finding him and saving him should he fail or face disaster. And if a good girl chased a man for a long time, Max would easily accept her feelings.
'I wonder how it was for you, grandpa? What were your principles for a harem?' Max thought as he prepared to clash with the mantis.
He believed his grandpa never talked about harem or his rules, for he wanted Max to develop his own idea of having a harem. Mateo could only pass one rule, which was to not chase too many girls, for that was devastating!
He didn't say anything about too many girls chasing Max, however.
"It's a speed test," Alice read the system while smirking. As she liked to move her booty, Alice was naturally fast. Her elder sister also could read people fast and intercept them with her flames.
Thus, Alice was confident.
Max was the same. His brain had already proved to be good at multitasking and recording all essential information. With that alone, Max confidently stepped forward.
The mantis bared his sharp blades. He then disappeared, leaving a gust of wind behind. His green aura and killing intent popped like a balloon, deflating as if gone.
From afar, Rosangela gasped, not believing that the fake monster would be this fast and strong!
"Ah, he went through them!" Rosangela felt the mantis' presence after successfully assailing Max and his party.
He went through them with his sharp blades, leaving terrifying mana lines on their bodies. Of course, those lines were slashes that soon should soak into their bodies.
But as Alice, Max, and Zamira didn't move, Mantis realized that he had failed with his first strike.
As he turned around, Mantis saw that the water torrent protected Alice's body. They had cuts instead, yet their forms seemed solid, for the cut wasn't deep. Like her sister, Zamira's curves lit up in flames, absorbing the damage.
Max utilized his inferior mana barrier skill. To increase his defense, he didn't coat himself with a barrier. Instead, he selected the spots that Mantis had his eyes on.
It was quite risky, but Max's Mana Read prevailed.
The three mana monsters turned around, their lips curved into smiles.
The mantis felt killing intent out of nowhere, his body reacting on his own. Using his high speed, his form faded from the scene.
But not for too long as Alice chased the monster with her eyes locked on him, "You aren't going anywhere, Mantis!"
Max and Zamira's long-distance skills also went after him, their precision on the spot!
BANG!
As Alice punched the mantis' abdomen, his form gently floated up. With the high damage impact going through his body, Mantis had no way of avoiding Max's lightning mana bolt and Zamira's fireballs.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Amazing… They chunked down so much of his health points with just one combination!" Rosangela's eyes dilated with respect, doing her best to follow the battle. She would naturally follow Max's words and make some contribution.
And as the battle continued, with Max and the twins trying a few more simple combinations, Rosangela found a gap. She wrapped her body in the silver wind before rushing forward to seize the opportunity.
She flew like a fairy, her little fist slamming into the Mantis' side.
"Nice hit!" Rosangela congratulated herself. But when she felt the monster's gaze on her, she knew her damage was heavily lower than Max and the twins.
And as Mantis was used to taking the blows from these three monsters, Rosangela's punch was close to tickling. Still, Rosangela's hand carried killing intent, so Mantis paid her attention.
He lifted his blade… and then!
BANG!
Max's lightning mana bolt slammed into his weapon much faster than before, for whatever reason.
"You don't hurt my girl," Max said with a cheeky smile as if Rosangela's body already belonged to him. Although that tone somehow irked the older lady, she didn't say anything, for Max had saved her.
She retreated before throwing an odd gaze at him.
'Getting called 'my girl' by the younger boy is so nasty!' Rosangela whispered inwardly. But as she gazed at the battle unfolding before her, she couldn't help but erase her thoughts off her mind.
She mostly had her eyes on Max, for he drew her attention naturally. And as his strength kept toying with the monster, his back grew bigger, and his face looked more handsome and older?
Rosangela stared at him in a daze, not keeping attention to her surroundings.
'It's similar to the day I met the three family heads for the first time… I couldn't question their moves and motives before their presence…' Rosangela whispered…
She wasn't fond of the whole world not knowing about the dungeons and their dangers… Mana was also wonderful energy, yet three families mostly used it on products, selling them for their profit.
They were egoistical.
Yet, Rosangela couldn't question them, for their strength was absolute. Their presence alone brought many people down to their knees.
'He's the same… but in a different way… He's not making me listen to him like a subject but makes me yearn for him!' Rosangela deciphered the great mystery of Max's mana, which wasn't so hard.
She couldn't help but wonder about this guy's origins.
What hid behind his bloodline?
