As a Venerable rank Sage, the amount of Ordena he could direct at a time had obviously increased by a lot.
This was a good thing as it meant that his strength has undergone a qualitative change, unfortunately the positive side of this could only be enjoyed in Midgard.
Here In the Living Forest, it would only cause more damage to the landscape as Max would end up using up more energy with his strengthened techniques.
Thus, he wisely chose to be cautious and take a more laid back approach to taking care of Corym, after all, it's not like he needed to go all out to take care of a small fry like Corym.
As he prepared to blast Corym to kingdom come with Inversion, the doors to the inner sanctum suddenly swing open and Ionia appeared at the entrance.
"Corym!" her voice was like an alarm bell that caused the Elven guard to seize all actions momentarily.
Max was about to use the opportunity only to stay his hand as he realized that Ionia would be able to handle the situation.
