Time passed and two days quickly went by.

In these two days, Max didn\'t 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.

Until 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.

Although 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.

The three days that the system was supposed to sleep had already passed last evening, but there was still no response from it.

Huff! Huff!

Right now, Max was practicing in Amara\'s practice chamber. He was drenched in sweat and his breathing was rough, too. But he didn\'t stop.

Taking a deep breath, he started casting [Calidus brachium] with all of his remaining mana.

Sizzle~

In approximately 7-8 seconds, the cast was complete and his right first was covered with a scarlet flame until his wrist.

Step!

He took a step toward the practice dummy in front of him and threw his blazing fist at it.

Swoosh!

BANG!

As his fist landed squarely on the dummy\'s chest, a loud bang resounded throughout the practice chamber. However, his punch didn\'t cause any damage to the dummy and only left a faint mark on the collision spot.

Max wasn\'t 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 wasn\'t the only special thing that made this dummy a desirable practice target.

Swoosh!

Before Max could take his fist back, a rebounding force burst out from the dummy and sent him hurtling back.

"Haah…" He could only stop and stabilize himself after three meters. A wry smile appeared on his lips and he shook his head, muttering. "I still can\'t react in time."

After 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.

Just then, Amara\'s voice, that held hints of teasing, sounded from behind him. "Hehe, don\'t 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."

Max\'s lips twitched when he heard this. Turning his head toward her, he revealed a smile that wasn\'t a smile and said, "It seems I haven\'t been strict enough. Now you even dare to make fun of your master."

"Ugh…" Seeing his expression, Amara flinched and hurriedly apologised, "I… I\'m sorry, master. I didn\'t have that intention."

For these two days, Max hadn\'t 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.

Max looked at her frightened and angry face before suddenly bursting out in laughter, causing Amara to become dumbfounded.

He walked over to her and flicked her forehead. "Don\'t be too scared. I don\'t mind such harmless jokes."

The slave that he placed in Amara\'s 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. That\'s why they could become so close in just two days.

Of course, he didn\'t hate the system for giving him such a strange slave spell since it didn\'t cause any harm and made his and Amara\'s relationship more harmonious. He always believed in treating his people properly no matter if they were his women or friends or slave. That\'s why he always treated Belen the same as Rima and Leticia, even though she was his slave.

"Hmm." Amara pouted her luscious red lips and rubbed her forehead in dissatisfaction, but inwardly she felt happy.

Max, looking at her cute expression, couldn\'t hold back and for the first time, he leaned toward her and placed a quick kiss on her lips.

After that, he walked out of the training chamber, leaving a stunned Amara.

It was only after she came to her senses and gently touched her lips, muttering, "Did he just… kissed me?"

Even 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 wasn\'t because of lust, but something else she didn\'t understand. But what she knew was that she liked this strange feeling a lot.

A beautiful smile appeared on her face before she turned around and chased after him.

After a while, Max had taken a bath in Amara\'s room and they were now having lunch together.

Although Amara\'s cooking wasn\'t comparable to Anna\'s, she still made delicious food, which he enjoyed a lot. Especially the blood red wine that only the winged demon tribe knew to make.

First 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.

Seeing him greedily devouring the food and wine, Amara smiled. Then, remembering something, she asked, "Um, master. You said that senior was going away for three days, right? Three days have already passed when he is coming back?"

"Why are you asking?" Max asked.

"It\'s n-nothing. I only wanted to thank him for helping me awaken my bloodline." Amara hurriedly said.

Max shook his head and said somewhat resentfully. "That old man is too unreliable and isn\'t true to his word. He was supposed to come back by last night, but still isn\'t here. I don\'t know when he will be back."

Just as he finished speaking, the system\'s angry voice sounded out, "You spoiled brat. You don\'t respect me at all, do you?"
