After the two argued for over an hour, they came to a middle ground.
Lucy can rase them, but keep them away from Max, but once Max gets one more bite. They were all dead.
Anyway, such a thing is a good way for Lucy to train her powers, and Max wanted this to happen.
...........
“now that we're done with the mosquito thing, can you please get me some vegetables?
I need to fix my diet, from coffee and meat to something more healthy.”
Lucy nodded, then her figure disappeared.
At the same time, countless hands made of mist appeared all around the mountain, uprooting wild vegetables, then taking them to Max.
Max walked to the edge of the cliff and, without hesitation, jumped.
Just as he began to free-fall, a cloud of mist enveloped him, saving him from a dangerous descent.
Hovering in the air, he scanned the surroundings, searching for an object to test his new hammer on.
Earlier, cold blood was left at the peak of the mountain, just in case those guys came back, so he had yet to fully enjoy his new toy.
..
Max enjoyed the wind while flying around, just 30 meters above-ground.
Now that both his vitality and strength are at the E-rank, he could handle the wind pressure from the speed.
The experience of flying like this is completely different from riding a plane.
No matter how much time Max spends like this, he never gets bored.
Soon Max found his target.
Two beasts fighting, a blue tiger and a bull with an armor made of rock covering him.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
Max stood in the sky, watching.
He didn't like to eat those weird-looking creatures like the Oubach, so he specifically hunted beasts that look like normal animals.
“that rock armor should be a skill, so his meat should be normal. What do you think, Lu?”
Since the dragon omelet thing, Lucy became very interested in normal food, so she has been sharing meals with Max.
And since her Vitality is high, she wouldn't get a stomachache or such, so Max didn't stop her.
Lucy's misty figure appeared next to Max and pointed to the big bull.
“but it has too much meat, and we don't have a place to store it.”
Lucy pointed to her tiny mouth. ‘eat it all.’
Max scratched his head. Although little Lu is a foody but that's relative to her size, after all, she is literally palm sized and can't eat that much.
“alright whatever, since you want it, we can feed it to other beasts if we can't finish it.”
Lucy nodded happily while down on the ground.
The two fighters became restless after they noticed the new arrival and accelerated their fight.
The bull used some skill to increase his speed and dashed to the tiger.
The latter dodged, then lowered his head, and roared.
Roooooooooor!.
The bull was paralyzed, while Max, even this far, felt dizzy.
This should be a spiritual attack, and Max's spiritual attribute is almost nonexistent.
“Lucy, slap that kitty away.”
Little Lu didn't waste time, grabbing the tiger from its tail and throwing it as far as she could.
Max looked at the tiger in the sky, still falling, confused.
He told her to slap it away, not kill it?
“whatever.”
The bull was running away, and Max chased on his cloud.
He aimed the hammer, then threw it.
Miss.! He hit a rock on the side.
Again Aim Then threw.
Miss.!
Again, aim, then threw.
Miss.!
Aiming this thing is way harder than it looks, but what makes it harder is Lucy's giggling at the back of his mind.
But Max didn't stop.
If nothing surprising happens, cold blood will be his main weapon for a long time. He had to learn how to use it, eventually.
Max kept the chase, hitting trees, rocks. He even hit the bull once, but with the handle of the hammer.
At this point, Lucy's giggles turned into a loud laughter in the back of his head.
Max’s eyebrow kept twitching, but on the other side, he was getting better at this.
After some more time, Max finally started landing solid hits, and the bull was finally dead.
“Ah finally hunted the damn thing.” Max wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Lucy's figure jump next to Max. ‘exhausted to death, no hunt.’
Max gave her a white look. “you dare speak, huh? You're too strong for me, huh? Then you don't need to simulate anymore, right?”
Lucy's figure disappeared and appeared next to Max, this time in her real body.
She smiled sheepishly and started helping Max wipe his sweat with some mist.
After all that time, she had some understanding about her sudden power gain.
So hearing Max saying that she no longer needs it made her anxious.
Max just smiled at her antics and couldn't help but tease her.
“the cooldown should be over in a few hours. And this time, since you're so strong, the Oubach downstairs should be interested in getting stronger. What do you say?”
Hearing Max's words, Lucy was almost tearful as she held his hand. ‘ me weak chicken, you very good hunter, ‘
Max's eyebrow twitched. “alright, alright let's just go home. Just keep quiet. “
Lucy's tearful expression instantly disappeared, and she smiled happily, then turned into a green light and merged with the mountain, then lifted both Max and the bull.
