chapter 745 lord max save us
just a few minutes later, max and leo reached their destination.
"either your ancestor was a world-class thief or he was a top assassin." max commented. if not for leo using his bloodline ability, they wouldn't have been able to arrive here so swiftly and without having any battle along the way.
leo grinned, "yeah. i think the same."
he then pointed ahead with his finger, "there he is."
max looked where he pointed and saw count wiley fighting alongside the people from the dalton and arasia families.
he raised his brows when he noticed their condition. almost all of them were injured and were barely able to defend themselves. if not for the fact there were only five five star demons, with the strongest being a high-stage five star demon attacking them, they would have been massacred by now.
"hmm? another five star mage had fallen?" leo commented, noticing there was one less five star mage in the arasia family's group. "at this rate, they can only last for two more hours at best."
max nodded in agreement.
leo then looked at him and asked, "who is he? your enemy, overlord?"
"yes." max nodded, his eyes blazing with intense killing intent.
leo was surprised and couldn't help but say, "he is just a four star mage. how come you haven't killed him already?"
then, realizing he might have spoken out of turn, he hurriedly apologized.
shing!
puchi!
suddenly, a howler demon slashed at his shoulder, causing blood to erupt out and making him wince in the pain.
"die, you bastard!" he shouted in anger and activated his metal magic spell.
swoosh!
in just a few moments, a half-meter-long, inch-thick metal spear materialized in front of him and pierced the howler demon's head, killing him, before continuing onwards and piercing another demon and a human mage from his family, but he didn't even look his way, making the man shimmer in rage.
"you bastard, deanâahhhhhhh!"
fwoosh!
he shouted at him, but his shout turned into a painful scream when a peak four star ashen demon snuck up to him and placed his hand on top of his head, causing him to erupt in flames.
dean was just catching his breath when from the corner of his eye, he noticed two figures flying in their direction. for a moment, he thought more five star demons were joining, which made him despair, but when he turned to look at them and saw one of the two was max, his eyes lit up and he shouted at the top of his lungs,
"lord max, please save us!"
be it humans or demons, everyone looked over when they heard his shout. the demons didn't recognize him instantly because they were from the three newly joined tribes and had been fighting here, far away from the center of the battlefield, so they only became a little solemn, but the human mages, be they arasias, daltons, or independent magesâespecially those who recognized himâbecame excited, and a ray of hope blazed in their hearts.
unlike them, however, count wiley's face turned deathly pale, and despair gripped his heart. he knew he was done for. even if dean and others had tried to save him, they wouldn't have been able to, not to mention they seemed more than happy to give him to him if he asked.
immediately, he took out his [witch destruction talisman] and glared at max, who was looking at him.
