Chapter 532  Show of strength!

She nodded at her fellow elves with a heavy expression on her face before looking at Max.

Thud!

Suddenly, she knelt on one knee and said, "I thank you, leader, for staying instead of fleeing and I vow to fight to my last breath against those devils."

Thud! Thud!

The other two from her team also knelt down and took the same vow.

Their behavior confused Max and he couldn\'t help but glance at the first team and compare them—the difference was stark. One didn\'t want to take risk and flee while the other vowed to put their lives on the line to fight the demons.

The four-star elf smiled wryly upon noticing his strange gaze. He then sighed and said, "You don\'t know this, but everyone from the team, those demons killed, were related to these three. The leader was her beloved."

He then gestured toward the three-star female elf and the man. "One of them was her brother and the other one was this guy\'s best friend. That\'s why they are… so angry."

Hearing this, Max understood. He helped them up one by one and said, "I\'m very sorry for your loss."

The four-star female elf shook her head. "Don\'t be sorry, leader." She said and her eyes turned red and voice cold, "Just help us take our revenge. I want to rip them apart from limb to limb."

"I promise, we will make them pay." Max solemnly nodded.

Just as he said this, a scornful voice sounded out from the distance.

"Heh, what bold words! I want to see the expression on your face when you beg us to spare your lowly life."

"Hm?" Max, Emily and other turned their heads in the direction of the voice and saw a group of nine demons approaching.

Seeing the demons\' number wasn\'t too much from theirs, Emily and the elves felt a bit of pressure lift from their hearts.

Max\'s expression, however, hardened as his gaze landed on the demon leading the group. \'A high-stage, four-star leader, one mid-stage and two early-stage four-star demons…\' He thought and sucked in a deep breath. Thump! Thump! Thump! His heartbeat sped up, and it wasn\'t because of anxiety or fear, but because of… excitement. Yes, for some strange reason, he was feeling excited and couldn\'t help but want to just rush into them and start a massacre.

\'Hm? I see, the bloodline comes with some side effects too.\' He thought and took a few deep breaths to calm down.

"Oh?" Just then, Nix glanced at him, narrowed his eyes and asked, "You want to fight me?"

The rest of the demon focused their gazes on Max and, when the demonesses saw him, their eyes lit up.

\'What sharp senses!\' Max exclaimed in his heart, surprised. His expression also strained because of this. Taking a deep breath, he took a step forward and nodded. "That\'s correct. I do want to fight you, but first…"

Whoosh!

No longer he had spoken until here that a pair of fire wings, which weren\'t as transparent as before, appeared on his back and gently flapped. When Max took a step forward, Nix had already become cautious. So, when he saw wings of fire appearing behind him with no prior indication of a spell activation, he immediately released his aura and demon energy, ready to rush forward and attack, but his eyes widened in shock when the wings flapped because... Max had vanished.

He knew he didn\'t vanish but was moving so fast that it seemed so, and this was exactly what made his heart quiver because if even he, an elite high-stage, four-star demon, couldn\'t see him, others would most definitely won\'t be able to either, and unlike him, they wouldn\'t be able to react at all, let alone defend, if he attacked them.

Thinking this, he glanced at his people and sure enough; they haven\'t noticed anything strange yet. So, he shouted with all his might, "Watch out!!"

Unfortunately for him, by the time demons heard his warning, it was already too late because Max had appeared in front of the mid-stage four-star demon, and the thunder sword—which had appeared in his hand at some time—slashed at his neck with blindingly fast speed.

"…let me make the number equal."

Nix\'s pupils constricted into needles and he rushed over while the demon also sensed the imminent crisis and instinctively retreated while raising his hands up to defend.

Swoosh!

It has to be said that as an elite high-stage four-star demon, Nix was very fast. Within a split second after he shouted the warning, he had already rushed over and punched at Max\'s head to make him retreat.

But unfortunately for him,

Shing~!

Max\'s sword was even faster and had already slashed through the retreating demon\'s neck. But because of his insistence on killing the demon, he now couldn\'t dodge and had to face Nix\'s punch, which was just an inch away from exploding his head.

Right before the fist covered in dense demon energy landed on the side of his head, the thunder sword appeared in front of it, blocking the punch.

Clang!

A sharp \'clang\' rang out, and the resulting vibration in the sword because of fist\'s impact made Max wince in pain. The web between his forefinger and thumb and he almost lost his grip on the sword hilt.

\'Strong!\' He exclaimed in his heart and immediately flapped his wings and retreated, arriving beside Emily and others.

Nix\'s expression was as dark and ugly as it could be, his eyes gradually turning red, his demon energy spiking and turning violent.

"You are very bold, human!" He bellowed, and just as Max thought he was going to attack, his spiking energy calmed down and retracted.

Max frowned at this, but then nodded and smiled. "Thanks for the compliment. You aren\'t bad yourself, too."

Thud!

Just then, the mid-stage demon\'s neck rolled down his shoulders and fell to the ground and his body followed suit a moment later, creating a momentary silence.

The demons and elves finally reacted and realized what had just happened. The demons looked at their companion\'s corpse and then at Max in shock and horror. Emily and the elves were also shocked. The four-star elf, who argued with Emily a while ago, looked at Max in a daze and muttered,

"Maybe he wasn\'t lying when he said he killed a high-stage four-star demon."
