Count Wiley was unaware of his bloodline sense. So, he was shocked to see him react as soon as he took out the communication crystal. He instinctively wanted to escape but stopped himself and sneered, "You are dead, boy."
"Lord, Xander, the thunder sword is…"
Shing!
Unfortunately for him, before he could finish the ssage, the thunder sword pierced his forehead, imdiately killing him.
Swoosh!
A mont later, Max appeared beside him and withdrew the sword, his expression dark.
Although Wiley couldn't tell everything, he knew just the few words he had spoken would be more than enough for this Xander person to realize Wiley had found, or at least learn the whereabouts of, the Thunder Sword.
Given how badly the Thunder family wanted the Thunder Sword, he would definitely co to the Green Leaf. At that ti, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find out he has it since many had seen him use it.
He glared at the Wiley's corpse that was about to fall and slashed again, beheading him. He didn't stop and continued slashing.
Shing! Kacha! Slash!
Only after he had thoroughly dismbered it did he stop and feel his anger abate a little.
"Fuck!" He shouted, letting out his frustration.
He then glanced at Dean, his gaze cold, which made him shudder in fear. Imdiately, he bowed and shouted, "Thank you for saving us, Lord Max. We'll be eternally grateful to you."
Max walked over to him with slow steps.
Dean felt his heart clench, noticing him coming near him. 'He wants to kill too. Fuck you, Wiley!' He cursed, his heart filled with terror. He wanted to flee, but knew it would be futile and would only make him die faster. So, gritting his teeth, he kept his head low, hoping he would spare him after seeing his submission.
"That pig, Rael… He is your son, right?" Max asked, his voice cold. He really wanted to kill him to vent his frustration, but he had already felt a powerful gaze lock onto him when he killed Wiley and knew he could not kill any more humans.
"Huh?" Dean was startled. He knew Max had killed nephew Jas, and his parents had tried to kill Max but failed when the king mage descended. He didn't know Max had enmity with his son Rael too.
"I asked you sothing." Max repeated, releasing his aura and pressing it down upon him. Even though his cultivation realm was lower than Dean's, his aura was stronger.
Dean imdiately snapped back to his senses and nodded, "Yes, Lord Max. He is my son. I apologize if he had sohow offended you. I'll be sure to teach him a lesson on your—"
Max was in no mood to hear his bullshit and interrupted him, "By the ti I return to the Capitol city, he should have broken his engagent with Flavia. Also, he must apologize when he does so. You can choose to ignore , but do so only if you have King Mages in your family."
Leaving this threat, he nodded at Fiora before walking back to Leo and flying away.
A while later, Fiora's group killed all the remaining demons.
Fiora swept her gaze across her family mbers, and when she saw how many were alive and how injured they were, she sighed before telling them to heal and recover.
She then glanced at Dean, who seed to be deep in thought as he looked at Count Wiley's corpse.
"You, co here." She called him over.
Dean promptly went over and respectfully said, "Yes, Elder Fiora."
"Tell whatever you know about him." She ordered. She had left the city several days before Max arrived in the city and everything happened.
The only reason she knew about his relationship with Flavia was because when she found out her family wanted to capture him or kill him for his bloodline, she had asked for his information, and because she was a high-ranking elder in the family and sowhat related to Flavia, they had inford her Max was also suspected to be the sa person who Flavia had gotten closer to in the cloud academy. It was only suspected because Flavia had refused to verify it. Therefore, she had tried her luck when she brought up Flavia earlier, and fortunately, he was the sa person. This was why she hadn't hesitated to sacrifice Flavia's stepmother.
Now, since they might beco relatives, she wanted to know everything she could about him.
Dean didn't hesitate and told her everything he knew about him. The only thing he didn't ntion was the Thunder Sword.
Fiora dismissed him after hearing everything and sighed. 'How shortsighted!'
She knew the damage was already done, and even if her family happily allowed Flavia to be with him, their relationship wouldn't beco good. At best, he would stop seeing them as enemies.
'If they hadn't been so blind, our chances of survival would have increased.' She gritted her teeth. She regretted the fact that that woman was running her family and not soone sensible like Mike.
…
Boom!
Swoosh!
Bang!
Rumble!
When Max and Leo were still so distance away from the center of the battlefield, they heard the sounds of battle that ca from there and knew the demons had attacked Martha and others.
Without Max saying anything, Leo increased his speed. Though he would have a hard ti maintaining his bloodline ability activated, and it would beco unstable, he didn't care as they weren't far from their destination.
When they neared the area and got a clear view of the ongoing battle, they couldn't help but beco surprised by what they saw.
They had expected Martha's group to be in a similar state as the Arasia and Dalton families' group had been because, despite the fact that the demons should've attacked them less than ten minutes ago—far less ti than the prolonged battle Arasia and Dalton families' group had fought for before they went there—the number and average strength of the demons surrounding the center of the battlefield was a few levels higher.
Contrary to their expectations, however, the group was holding themselves well, even though the number of demons attacking them was almost double that of them.
Then their eyes were drawn to the main character there, Martha.
"How strong!"
Leo exclaid, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes as he watched her use her bloodline ability to massacre the demons while simultaneously helping the human mages.
