Chapter 657 Mana Crystals
A while later, Max awkwardly watched as the royal family's group left.
It turned out the beautiful woman wasn't the third princess, but her aunt, King Azaroth's sister, Martha Williams.
Though he noticed she wasn't bothered by his mistake, he felt awkward.
After a moment, he stopped thinking about it and turned around to return to Lily and others.
However, at that moment, he noticed several Five Star demons looking at him with hostile intentions, which made him pause. Then a deep frown appeared on his face.
If, even after noticing this, he tried to ignore them, they would surely attack him, thinking he was too exhausted to fightâwhich was true because he had very little bloodline energy left.
If he tried to fight them by just relying on his level two Barbarian God Physique and his measly early-stage Four Star mana cultivation, he would definitely lose.
Swoosh!
Just then, a Peak Four Star mage rushed over, his shoulder bleeding and his face pale.
"You alright, sir?"
"Hm?" Max found him familiar, "Aren't you that guy..."
"Yes, sir. I was the one who you saved in the fight earlier." The man nodded.
"Yes." Max nodded. "Aren't you worried the demons will target you if they see you with me?"
The man looked at his injuries, which the demonic energy was corroding every moment, and smiled wryly, "Even if they don't specifically target me, I probably wouldn't survive this fight."
"So... You came hoping I would be able to help you?" Max asked in an emotionless voice.
To his surprise, the man shook his head and said, "No, sir. I came to help you and repay your kindness for saving my life."
'No, it has already caused enough harm to my mana veins.' He thought, immediately throwing the thought out of his mind. The man confusedly nodded and was about to walk away when he heard Max ask, "What's your name?"
"It's Leo Feng, sir." The man answered, a smile appearing on his face. Although he wouldn't have minded it much even if he hadn't asked, he felt a weird sense of satisfaction knowing his savior cared enough, even if it was because of the mana crystals, to ask for his name.
"Leo..." Max muttered, suddenly remembering Ellie and pregnant Ella.
"Alright, Leo. Heal your wounds before you fight. I hope we can again."
Saying this, he grabbed him, Phoenix Wings's flapping with the boost of the last bits of the bloodline energy, and vanished from the place.
The Five Star demons tried following him but lost sight of him after just a few moments.
...
Thud!
Leo only felt a hand grabbing him before everything became blurry. When he regained his senses, he found himself crash landing near a group of humans, starting them.
"He helped me, huh?" He muttered, "But what's the use of living a little--"
Suddenly, his eyes widened because he realized there was no demonic energy left in his wounds and his injuries had stopped worsening, instead they were healing at a rapid speed, as if someone had given him a high grade healing pill.
...
Swoosh!
After dropping him in a relatively safe location, Max returned where Lily and others were.
Fortunately, even though he had two tough fights, not much time had passed, and they seemed to have only finished taking care of the demon group he left them to deal with.
Lily and Sera were the first to notice his sudden arrival. When they took a good look at him, they grew worried and rushed over.
"Are you alright?"
