chapter 740 a coward? [bonus]
on the other side, vigil, yshoy, luen, and others had grim expressions on their faces. however, none of them moved and silently watched everything.
the moment azaroth had revealed his domain, they had lost the slight advantage they had. earlier, if they wanted to kill max, the battle would have broken out, and both sides would have suffered equally. but now, with azaroth's addition, they knew their side would suffer more losses and might even be completely annihilated.
...
on the ground, apart from martha, almost no one knew azaroth had employed his aura domain, including max. they all thought he had used his aura sphere to stop and contain the demon kings.
while the humans sighed in relief and started fighting with newfound hope, the demons became enraged, and someone shouted.
"so what if our kings can't come down right now? we are more than enough to slaughter all these ants."
boom!
bang!
boom!
immediately, the battles became even more violent, and the number of humans falling each moment increased.
just as the demon had said, they still had a massive number advantage and could easily kill all the humans. it was just a matter of time.
not to mention...
max glanced in the direction the two demon kings were, his expression solemn. 'there are still those two.'
with those two here, he wouldn't be able to go all out, killing the demons, gaining war merits, and helping the human side have an easier time.
just when he was worrying about it, his eyes narrowed because he saw an old man, in golden brocade robes similar to azaroth's, flying in the direction of the rampaging demon kings.
"i don't think he is." a female mage muttered, her eyes flashing.
"if he is not a coward, then what is he?" the one who spoke first asked angrily.
"if i'm not wrong, he was one of the kingslayer duo everyone was talking about earlier." the female mage said.
"so what if he was? he is still a... wait!" suddenly his eyes widened and his expression became dark, "wasn't it him who lured those two demon kings toward that large group so he could escape?"
although they were far from the place where the crowd max sacrificed to escape was, they had still noticed that event.
"not only is he a cowardly man, he is also very ruthless."
the female mage frowned, "what would you have done if you were in his place? let the demon kings kill you?"
...
swoosh! swoosh!
shing!
puchi!
max had taken out the thunder sword and was rapidly killing every demon he came across, be they three star or five star demons.
on the battlefield, he didn't need to worry about not having enough death energy which he was using to kill them. the only thing worrying him was that, albeit slowly, his nascent energy was being used to protect his mana veins, and sometimes, he had to use his mana and bloodline energy too. although he still had two and a half mana crystals and quite a bit of mana stones left, he knew they wouldn't last him the remaining twenty-eight hours.
...
soon five hours passed, and max had used one third of his nascent energy. he had also completely exhausted his mana and bloodline energy one time and had to recover them using the mana crystals.
ha! huff! hah!
currently, he was standing amongst over a hundred demon corpses, heaving deep breaths. although he only had a dozen or so slightly tough battles, the continuous blitz fighting for five hours was starting to take a toll on him. if not for his peak-level two [barbarian god physique], he would have been too exhausted to fight by now and had to take a rest.
