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 comnted. 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 sa."
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 comnted, 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 agreent.
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 co you haven't killed him already?"
Then, realizing he might have spoken out of turn, he hurriedly apologized.
Max shook his head, not minding it, and said, "Because I only saw him the day before we left the capital city. I couldn't kill him there because he had the protection of the Arasia family. And after leaving the city, Sir Alton and Lady Wyomin prohibited us from attacking each other. So, I couldn't risk dying just to kill him."
Hearing this, Leo nodded before hesitantly saying, "Overlord, in my opinion, you shouldn't kill him because there are still chances the emperors will punish you for it. Besides, he will die soon as he is already having difficulty defending himself. So, there is no need to take the risk."
Max listened calmly before saying, "He needs to die in my hands."
…
Dean was fighting along with Count Wiley and his other family mbers with a dark expression on his face.
Even though his opponents were in the Four Star realm, because he was starting to run out of stamina, he was having difficulty fighting, due to which, in just the last half an hour, he had gained several more injuries, a few of which were quite serious, further decreasing his battle power.
Therefore, to save himself, he had been trying to get closer to the Arasia family's mages, hoping they would take so of the pressure off him. However, each ti he tried, they would move away from him and sotis would try to direct their opponents toward his group instead.
'Fuck! I shouldn't have been greedy and co here.' He regretted his decision to co to the battlefield. He wanted to use the War Temple's resources to break through to the Five Star realm. Everything was going smoothly, and he only needed a little more rit points, but to his misfortune, the other kingdoms fell, and the more demon tribes joined the demon side, pushing them into a hopeless situation.
When King Azaroth had arrived and captured all of the demon kings, his hope was reignited again, but unfortunately, he was taking a lot of ti, and it didn't seem he would be able to co help them anyti soon, if he could at all.
Then he rembered his plans for Max and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head, 'How much I had overestimated myself! How stupid!'
From the beginning, he knew the chances of their plans working were very low, but after Max showed his true strength by fighting the demon king, he knew they wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
Only the Seidel and Arasia family, with their king mages, had hope of capturing him, but now…
He smirked, rembering the scene of king mages from both families getting ripped apart and being burned into ashes.
'If my Dalton family could survive this war, we would be as strong as these so-called strongest noble families.'
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 tal magic spell.
Swoosh!
In just a few monts, a half-ter-long, inch-thick tal 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 shimr in rage.
"You bastard, Dean—Ahhhhhhh!"
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 flas.
Dean was just catching his breath when from the corner of his eye, he noticed two figures flying in their direction. For a mont, 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 beca a little solemn, but the human mages, be they Arasias, Daltons, or independent mages—especially those who recognized him—beca 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 ntion they seed more than happy to give him to him if he asked.
Imdiately, he took out his [Witch Destruction Talisman] and glared at Max, who was looking at him.
