Chapter 555 Brilliant radiance
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A short while after Max lost consciousness, and the system started reconstructing his core, causing such a big commotion, the Elvin group and Ellie arrived. When they saw a figure shrouded in a brilliant white light, hovering in the air, they were stunned. "What the...?" Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com
"There is someone in the light..."
"Who is it...?"
"Whoever he is, it doesn't look like he is breaking through."
"Where is the team leader? He should be around..."
The elves discussed in hushed voices. Just when they were wondering where Max was, they noticed Ella, sitting under the figure shrouded in the bright white light.
"This figure... he is team leader?" Rey muttered, astonished. The others were the same. They had witnessed people breakthrough to the three-star, four-star and five-star realm. However, none of them witnessed such a sight before today. It was simply... divine.
As they stared at Max, wrapped up in the pure white light, they unconsciously stepped forward and came under the light's glow.
Rumble! Rumble!
Immediately, their mana cores trembled, and mana started circulating through their mana veins according to cultivate techniques. Their pores opened and the impurities in their mana, blood, and flesh were slowly pushed out.
"This... my cultivation is increasing..."
"My mana core... it's recovering..."
"...more than half of my mana has reached four-star level... This is great!"
"...My mana is now purer and my mana veins have also become stronger."
...
Rey smiled when he heard everyone's excited exclamations. Though he didn't show it, deep down, he was shocked beyond belief. Ever since he first met Max, he knew he wasn't ordinary. This feeling only continued to grow throughout their journey toward the capital. Initially, when he saw Max fight the early-stage four-star demon, he found it extraordinary. However, just a few days later, he saw him fighting and killing mid-stage demons without exerting too much effort while he was still a peak three-star mage who had yet to start converting his mana to the four-star level; he found it shocking.
However, today, he finally realized Max wasn't someone the words "Extraordinary" or "Monstrous" could describe. He had a feeling if he followed Max for a few years, he could reach heights he never even dreamt of reaching.
Thinking this, he clenched his fists in excitement before determination flashed in the depths of his eyes.
On the other side, Emily was also stunned. However, she quickly recovered. Her figure flashed, and she appeared in front of him, completely on guard as she watched everyone. Only after she determined no one had any ill intent toward him, she relaxed a little. After that, she checked Max if he was alright. After finding there was no problem with him, she glanced at Ella and asked, "What happened here? Why is he unconscious?"
Emily's cold gaze sent shivers down her spine. Flustered, she quickly shook her head, "I-I'm sorry, but I don't know. After we... did t-that, Sir Max told me to cultivate. When I woke up, he was hovering in the air and you guys were already here. S-so I don't know what happened in the meantime."
Emily fell in thought when she heard this. But suddenly, she raised her head and gazed into the distance, a grave expression appearing on her face. She then shot to her feet, told Ella to look after Max and released her aura before she barked, "Everyone, people incoming! Get ready to fight."
Hearing her, Shasha and Kamesh revealed confused expressions. However, when they paid attention in the direction Emily was looking, their expression turned grave. Immediately, everyone became alert and took out their weapons or readied their spells to fight.
Just then, a crisp and demonic voice sounded out from the distance.
"Hehe, little girl. You got some sharp senses. Why don't you submit to me, I'll treat you well."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Right after the voice, several figures appeared in front of them, looking at them with ferocity in their eyes.
