Chapter 672 Not Dead

Chapter 672 Not Dead

Although they were almost half a mile in the sky, if she detonated her core, the destruction would be too widespread for him to contain and many humans would die.

However...

This was only if she could succeed in detonating.

Yellow bolts flickered in his pupils and Qumo immediately froze.

Though she was frozen for just a moment, it was more than enough time for Alton to appear in front of her and grab her shoulder.

Then the same thing that happened to Arivand repeated. She lost control of her body.

A large amount of mana erupted out of him and rapidly condensed into tiny yellow electric bolts on his fingertips.

He then slowly pointed his fingers at her forehead...

"NOOOOO!!"

As Qumo shouted in despair, he touched her forehead.

Immediately, her eyes went slack and her body became limp as her life was snuffed out.

Swoosh!

With a wave of his hand, Alton stored her body away before raising his head to look at his mount that was flying back.

When he saw it seemed down with its wings droopy and a defeated look in its eyes, he asked in surprise, "He escaped?"

Though his bird wasn't a majestic avian magic beast, it was also in the emperor realm and had strength almost rivaling his. This was why he had sent it to capture the horned demon.

However... it failed, surprising him.

As she started casting her healing spells on Max, Alton swept his gaze across the panicked demon army and announced.

"Your supervisors broke the rules by trying to kill a low rank soldier. I have dealt appropriate punishment to them. By rules, I can kill all of you too..."

Every demon felt their hearts rise to their throats when they heard this but significantly calmed down when they heard Alton's next words.

"...But I won't do that."

"I'll give you all a chance to leave here alive. All you have to do is to survive for half an hour."

Saying this, he resorted to mental communication, not wanting the humans to hear his next words, and said, [You can go all out to save your life, but be warned, if any of you harm any of my soldiers, you'll die.]

The demons immediately frowned, obviously not liking this, but none of them complained because giving them a chance to survive was already very generous of him.

They clenched their fists and their eyes flashed with determination.

'I will survive.'

Alton then shifted his attention to the human army and said, "There is no high-stage or peak Five Star demon alive. So, you don't have to worry about facing them. Just go all out and kill as many as you can. This is probably the last time you have such an easy time earning war merits."

"Now, begin!"

As his voice fell, the humans let out deafening cheers and battle cries before rushing at the demons.

...

While everyone started excitedly fighting, happy to earn more easy war merits, Lily, Emily and Sera's faces were deathly pale and they had tears in their eyes as they stared at Max, floating in front of Wyomin in the sky.

Near them, Pauline and the Fuller group was also looking up at Max, their expression serious and full of pity.

Beside them, even Armand and other the three from the royal family also had pitying looks on their faces as they sighed.

"At least he is not dead."

Boom!
