nTime passed and two days quickly went by.
nIn these two days, Max didnât have anything to do, so apart from talking and enjoying food with Amara from time to time, he focused on practicing his Calidus brachium and Flame barrier which he had neglected for a long while.
nUntil he was completely exhausted, he continued to practice. If he spent all of his mana, he would just eat a few mana replenishing pills, wait a while until it recovered, and then continue the practise.
nAlthough he had realised he needed to continue to become stronger before too, after arriving on the demon continent, staying among the demon of which almost everyone was stronger than him and could kill him as easily as flicking their fingers, his conviction become solid.
nThe three days that the system was supposed to sleep had already passed last evening, but there was still no response from it.
nHuff! Huff!
nRight now, Max was practicing in Amaraâs practice chamber. He was drenched in sweat and his breathing was rough, too. But he didnât stop.
nTaking a deep breath, he started casting Calidus brachium with all of his remaining mana.
nSizzle~
nIn approximately 7-8 seconds, the cast was complete and his right first was covered with a scarlet flame until his wrist.
nStep!
nHe took a step toward the practice dummy in front of him and threw his blazing fist at it.
nSwoosh!
nBANG!
nAs his fist landed squarely on the dummyâs chest, a loud bang resounded throughout the practice chamber. However, his punch didnât cause any damage to the dummy and only left a faint mark on the collision spot.
nMax wasnât surprised in the slightest because Amara had told him that this dummy was made from grade-four material and could endure multiple full powered attacks from the four-star demons. However, this wasnât the only special thing that made this dummy a desirable practice target.
nSwoosh!
nBefore Max could take his fist back, a rebounding force burst out from the dummy and sent him hurtling back.
nâHaahâŠâ He could only stop and stabilize himself after three meters. A wry smile appeared on his lips and he shook his head, muttering. âI still canât react in time.â
nAfter finding out that the dummy had the capability of instantly rebounding the attacks thrown at it, he had been trying to improve his reaction speed and pull away right after attacking it but he failed every single time and was hit with the rebounding force just like this time.
nJust then, Amaraâs voice, that held hints of teasing, sounded from behind him. âHehe, donât be so down, master. Your reaction speed is almost double if we compare it to your first time when you were sent flying into the back wall, spitting out blood.â
nMaxâs lips twitched when he heard this. Turning his head toward her, he revealed a smile that wasnât a smile and said, âIt seems I havenât been strict enough. Now you even dare to make fun of your master.â
nâUghâŠâ Seeing his expression, Amara flinched and hurriedly apologised, âI⊠Iâm sorry, master. I didnât have that intention.â
nFor these two days, Max hadnât treated her like a slave but a friend. He would eat, talk, and laugh with her. Because of this, they had grown closer, and she almost forgot that she was his slave. This was the only reason she dared to tease him now. But she never expected her casual joke would make him angry.
nMax looked at her frightened and angry face before suddenly bursting out in laughter, causing Amara to become dumbfounded.
nHe walked over to her and flicked her forehead. âDonât be too scared. I donât mind such harmless jokes.â
nThe slave that he placed in Amaraâs soul was too strange. Not only did it make Amara obedient to him, it also affected Max and made the negative feelings toward Amara disappear. Thatâs why they could become so close in just two days.
nOf course, he didnât hate the system for giving him such a strange slave spell since it didnât cause any harm and made his and Amaraâs relationship more harmonious. He always believed in treating his people properly no matter if they were his women or friends or slave. Thatâs why he always treated Belen the same as Rima and Leticia, even though she was his slave.
nâHmm.â Amara pouted her luscious red lips and rubbed her forehead in dissatisfaction, but inwardly she felt happy.
nMax, looking at her cute expression, couldnât hold back and for the first time, he leaned toward her and placed a quick kiss on her lips.
nAfter that, he walked out of the training chamber, leaving a stunned Amara.
nIt was only after she came to her senses and gently touched her lips, muttering, âDid he just⊠kissed me?â
nEven though they had sex two times ever since they met, he never kissed her, not to mention so gently. This made her heart flutter, and it wasnât because of lust, but something else she didnât understand. But what she knew was that she liked this strange feeling a lot.
nA beautiful smile appeared on her face before she turned around and chased after him.
nAfter a while, Max had taken a bath in Amaraâs room and they were now having lunch together.
nAlthough Amaraâs cooking wasnât comparable to Annaâs, she still made delicious food, which he enjoyed a lot. Especially the blood red wine that only the winged demon tribe knew to make.
nFirst time when he saw it, he was unwilling to drink because it looked the same as blood. Only after Amara explained it was purely made from some exotic flowers and fruits and no blood was used in its production did he drink it and immediately fell in love with it.
nSeeing him greedily devouring the food and wine, Amara smiled. Then, remembering something, she asked, âUm, master. You said that senior was going away for three days, right? Three days have already passed when he is coming back?â
nâWhy are you asking?â Max asked.
nâItâs n-nothing. I only wanted to thank him for helping me awaken my bloodline.â Amara hurriedly said.
nMax shook his head and said somewhat resentfully. âThat old man is too unreliable and isnât true to his word. He was supposed to come back by last night, but still isnât here. I donât know when he will be back.â
nJust as he finished speaking, the systemâs angry voice sounded out, âYou spoiled brat. You donât respect me at all, do you?â
