Chapter 687 Kacha [Bonus]
"Oh? I don't think so. You are still going to be defeated like always." Tristen scoffed, but his expression wasn't as mocking or nonchalant as before.
Vigil gave him a meaningful look. "This time won't be the same."
Saying this, he glanced at Lady Verana, "You've either killed or captured the ones who broke the rules, and I have no objection to it. Now, just make sure none of you break any rule."
Lady Verana stared at him in silence for a moment before she nodded and said, "You don't need to worry about that."
Vigil stared at her for a few moments before gesturing to the isolation barrier.
Lady Verana glanced at Tristen and said, "Remove it."
Tristen didn't hesitate and took out a disk shaped artifact and tapped the center of it. Immediately, the barrier flickered and vanished.
...
The demon kings were frozen in shock for a few moments before they became enraged, especially the horned demon kings, and started massacring every human they saw.
Seeing five demon kings rapidly flying in his direction, Max immediately activated the Phoenix Wings, grabbed Kriss, and rushed in the opposite direction.
Midway, Kriss asked him to put him down, which made him frown, but realizing if he could sneak up on a demon king and behead her, even if she had gone berserk and wasn't as aware of her surroundings, he must have a way to escape them too. So, he dropped him into the crowd, and as he watched him through his bloodline sense disappear amidst people, his eyes flickered.
'I need a technique like that. It's just too useful, especially to someone like me.'
In the distance, while fighting the demons attacking them, Lily, Emily, and Sera watched him trying to escape the demon kings with anxious looks on their faces.
As she watched him, Emily's body was turning hotter, and the dim golden flicker in the depths of her eyes was becoming brighter. She didn't feel her changes, but the demons and humans around her did because she was emitting a lofty and supreme aura that was suppressing them, not letting them use their full power.
Due to this, her speed of killing the demons was increasing. But since humans were also affected, they were also dying rapidly. Many tried calling out to her, but with her current state of mind, she only saw demons she was killing and Max.
Just like everyone, he looked in the ear direction and saw a gigantic, golden-colored building rising out of the groundâThe War Temple.
The demon kings' grimaced when they saw this, knowing they, or rather, their emperors, had failed to stop the human emperors from establishing it.
The next moment, the five of them simultaneously turned toward Max, ready to finish him off.
Gulp!
Max gulped down the mixture of his blood and saliva noticing this, and nervously chuckled, "Hey, this fight's over. You guys shouldâ
Before he could finish, one of the demon kings attacked.
Shua!
A large, sharp claw made of demonic energy grabbed toward him, aimed to shred him into pieces.
Given the speed of the claw and Max's current state, he wasn't able to dodge it even if he saw it coming.
The next instant, the claw was upon him, just a few inches away from killing him.
'Let's see how strong Nascent Energy is in battle.' He mused and was about to release all of the Nascent Energy. He knew that even if he managed to survive after revealing it, the danger he would face would increase even further, but he couldn't simply die either.
However, right then, a grim shout reverberated through the area, "Retreat!"
The demon king's eyes flashed, but he didn't stop. How could he stop when he was only a moment away from killing him?
So, the claw slashed at him.
Kacha!
