Chapter 668 Sudden Change
Martha and the young assassin from the Martell family were the first to notice him leave their formation and rush toward the demons like a madman.
"What's he doing?" She murmured in confusion.
Then suddenly, she noticed over a dozen powerful auras rushing in their, or more accurately, Max's direction with her divine sense, and her eyes widened in realization.
'They want to kill him, and... Lady Wyomin ordered us all to fight together to help him.'
Unexpectedly, instead of becoming angry, her eyes flashed with interest.
'Let me see what's so special about you that makes such strong people take interest in you.' She thought as her long spear appeared in her hand and her mana flared.
"You four, go over and do your best to help those three women and the Fullers."
Swoosh!
Saying this, she activated her movement spell and flew into the sky before rushing in Max's direction.
"Lady Martha!" Armand shouted, wanting to follow her, but the other three stopped him. "Didn't you hear what she ordered us to do?"
"But..."
"No buts."
People from the three noble families frowned when they saw Martha leave after him.
"What are they doing? Aren't they worried Lady Wyomin would punish them for leaving without permission like this?" The man from the Seidel family's trio muttered.
But then he and others also sensed the several powerful auras rapidly approaching, which sent shivers down their spines.
Just when they were starting to panic, the auras stopped, causing them to sigh in relief.
Then the man sneered, "How courageous! He went to stop them."
His female companion didn't comment and just got ready to fight.
In the distance, the young man from the Martell family glanced in Max's direction, his gaze flickering in surprise and thought.
...
Swoosh!
Max appeared in front of the fifteen peak Five Star demons and attacked them with fire arrows that were too weak to hurt even a peak Four Star demon, let alone them.
"NOOOO!!"
A horrified scream escaped her lips as the sword sliced through her chest, cutting her in two.
Swoosh!
Bang!
Boom!
Before the slash even completed, his wings flapped and Max retreated, dodging several attacks launched at him.
"Ahhh! You bastard! You killed me!" The demoness' shrieks echoed. Despite her body being cut into two along with her heart, she hadn't died yet.
"Kill him! Kill him now! I want to see him die! Hurry–"
Bang!
Before she could finish, a hammer smashed onto her head, crushing it into meat paste and silencing her hysterical cries.
"You return to the demon god's embrace. We'll take care of him." The demon, who had killed her, said, glaring at Max with intense killing intent but also fear.
Max's expression fell when he saw him kill the demoness. Since it killed her, he wouldn't get her death energy.
'I should've cut her head off.' He sighed in regret.
'It's alright. There are more than enough left.'
He thought, tightening his grip on the Thunder sword and carefully pulling on more Death Energy. ...
Up in the sky, the demon emperors' faces were dark, while Alton and Wyomin had a look of shock.
"How?! How!" The demoness, Empress Qumo, roared in rage. Wyomin didn't stop her from shouting because she had already created a water bubble around them, isolating them from the outside world.
"Why can he use that energy so freely now? Why?!" Empress Qumo continued to rage.
Just like her and the other demon emperor, Wyomin and Alton also had the same question in their minds.
'Did he purposely harm himself when he used it last time? To deceive us?' Wyomin wondered.
'This is getting interesting.' Alton thought, an imperceptible smile appearing on his face.
Suddenly, his brows shot up, and he shouted.
"HOW DARE YOU!!"
