Chapter 492 Hypnotised

Chapter 492 Hypnotised

Everyone, the elves and demons looked at him, stunned.

The demons because they knew how strong their team leader was but was being looked down upon by this human. And Elves because they hadn't expected him to be so... shameless. It was evident he was reluctant to fight the demon team leader but was acting as though the demon wasn't worth his time.

Max ignored their disdainful looks, glanced at the Elvin team leader and said in an impassive tone, "What are you waiting for?"

"Huh?" The Elf came to his senses, released his aura and mana and charged at the demon's leader while shouting, "Everyone, charge! Kill them!"

Whoosh!

The demon team leader glared at Max before shifting his focus to the Elf coming at him. He very much wanted to kill Max quickly but the elves' leader was very fast and within a split second, he had appeared in front of him.

Seeing this, his expression turned serious. Although Max had that dangerous attack, he could see he wasn't fast enough. That's why he tried to kill him but the elf leader's speed was as fast as his. No, he seemed to be slightly faster than him.

"Kill them as soon as possible and be careful of that blue-haired human."

The demon instructed in the demon language before releasing his dark green energy and started fighting the Elvin team leader.

Because they were almost equally fast and strong, they were equally matched but Max knew they were only probing each other which he never did since he believed in killing his enemies before they could get in zone. However, he also realised this approach wasn't always good.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Both Elves and demons rushed at each other and started to fight. One of the demons, who was apparently a female, rushed at him, looking calm.

'Hm?' Max raised his brows at this and looked at his still blazing right hand and then at her, thinking confusedly, 'Can't she see my spell is still active?' After all, even her leader had retreated as soon as he activated [Calidus Brachium].

However, in the next moment, he understood why she was so calm despite knowing the destructive power of his spell. It was because he wasn't fast enough and she believed she could dodge it.

Realising this, his lips curled up.

Indeed, he wasn't fast enough if he didn't use his mana at full power, but if he did, although he wouldn't be as fast as the demon or the Elvin team leader, he easily would be faster than ordinary peak three-star mages or demons.

Whoosh!

The demoness stopped a few meters away from him, calmly staring at him.

"What? Aren't you going to attack me?" Max asked with interest.

"No." She shook her head before glancing at his blazing right hand. "Not until you can't hold on any longer. And if I'm not wrong, you should be reaching your limit soon, right?"

"Ah, I see. That's a good strategy." Max nodded when he heard this and then grinned, "What if I can keep it active... infinitely?"

"Heh..." The corner of her lips curled up into a mocking smile when she heard this and said, "You don't have to try to agitate me. I'm not an idiot who will fall for it."

Max shrugged, "Alright." He then turned to glanced at the ongoing fights.

The elves had taken out their spears at some point and were using it to keep the demon at a distance while attacking them. Because the number of elves was larger than the demons, they had an easy time fighting them, but still, none of the demon got injured yet.

As for the Elvin team leader, he had a-three-feet long, green sword in his hand as he fought with the demon's leader. As they fought, they were flashing from one place to another.

The demoness' narrowed her eyes when she saw him ignore her and was tempted to attack but curbed the desire, fearing that he was deliberately luring her to attack so he could kill her.

As Max watched the fights, he noticed that the demon's scales had started vibrating and started exuding a faint green mist. It was very faint and the Elves didn't seem to have noticed it.

'Hm? That's strange. Why are they ignoring it?' He thought and it was only then he noticed that all the Elves seemed to have become overly aggressive and were just focused on attacking.

His brows knitted together upon seeing this and then he glanced at the demoness and asked, "Can you guys also hypnotise people?"

"That's correct." The demoness nodded, her lips curling up. "You can warn them if you want."

"Hm? It seems your hypnotism isn't as simple as it seems." Max commented and then suddenly, novE(lB)In

Whoosh!

Mana burst out of him, circling his feet. He then disappeared and appeared in front of her, raising his fist to punch her.

Whoosh!

However, she was already ready for this and immediately flashed back.

"Heh, I knew you were trying—"

She scoffed in a mocking tone, feeling proud that she wasn't fooled by Max's act and kept her guard up, but stopped mid-sentence when she saw Max disappear again.

Just as she got ready to dodge once more, her eyes widened because Max didn't come at her but moved toward the nearest demon who was engaged with an elf.

Seeing this, she hurriedly shouted out, "Watch out!"

However... she was too late.

Whoosh!

By the time she shouted, Max had arrived behind the demon and slashed at his neck with the sword, which had at some point appeared in his hand.

Slash!

The demon didn't even have the chance to react after he heard the call, when his head was already separated from his body. He had an expression of disbelief on his face at the last moment before the light from his eyes dimmed and his body and head fell to the ground.

Thud! Thud!

Whoosh!

Right then, the elf who had been fighting the demon stabbed his spear at Max's chest.

Seeing this, Max's eyes narrowed. He blocked the stab with his sword and then kicked him in the gut, sending him stumbling a few meters back, and growled at him.

"Come to your senses!"

The Elf clutched his stomach and glared at Max with blurry eyes and charged at him again.

Whoosh!

Bang!

Max dodged his attack and kicked him once again. This time, he used a little more strength, which caused him more pain, and his eyes slowly regained clarity.

"What h— cough!" Just as he tried to speak, he coughed out a mouthful of green blood.

"You were hypnotised. Now, be careful and go help others." Max said before moving toward the next demon.

When the demon leader who was engaged with the Elvin leader in a heated battle noticed this, his expression turned ugly. He tried to push the Elf away and charge at him, but Elf appeared in front of him again, and started attacking more ferociously.

"Damn it!" He cursed, and then shouted at the demoness who was supposed to fight or, to be precise, keep him busy,

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!"

The demoness shuddered and rushed toward Max to stop him.

Whoosh!

Fortunately for her, Max couldn't kill the next demon in a single attack because it was already alert, but it still got injured.

Max wanted to continue attacking, but the demoness had arrived and the elf was also showing signs of attacking him. Therefore, he chose to retreat.

Whoosh!

The demoness heeled him, afraid that he would once again go and kill someone else. However, in haste and panic, she forgot to maintain a safe distance from him.

Whoosh!

Max suddenly turned around, rushed at her and punched at her chest with his right fist.

"Fuck!"

The demoness cursed. She knew she couldn't dodge it in time. So, she hurriedly took out a small dark green scale that expanded in front of her. She grabbed it and used it as a shield. At the same time, she released her dark green energy to reinforce the scale.

However...

BANG!!

Crack!

It wasn't enough in front of Max's [Calidus Brachium] although he had only used 7000 mana units to cast it this time. As soon as his punched landed on the green scale, the energy protected broke and the scale cracked before exploding into pieces.

This horrified the demoness and her eyes opened wide while her heart raced wildly as she watched his blazing fist growing bigger in vision before everything went blank.

Bang!!
