Chapter 657  Mana Crystals

It turned out the beautiful woman wasn\'t the third princess, but her aunt, King Azaroth\'s sister, Martha Williams.

Though he noticed she wasn\'t bothered by his mistake, he felt awkward. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

After a moment, he stopped thinking about it and turned around to return to Lily and others.

However, at that moment, he noticed several Five Star demons looking at him with hostile intentions, which made him pause. Then a deep frown appeared on his face.

If, even after noticing this, he tried to ignore them, they would surely attack him, thinking he was too exhausted to fight—which was true because he had very little bloodline energy left.

If he tried to fight them by just relying on his level two Barbarian God Physique and his measly early-stage Four Star mana cultivation, he would definitely lose.

Swoosh!

Just then, a Peak Four Star mage rushed over, his shoulder bleeding and his face pale.

"You alright, sir?"

"Hm?" Max found him familiar, "Aren\'t you that guy…"

"Yes, sir. I was the one who you saved in the fight earlier." The man nodded.

"Yes." Max nodded. "Aren\'t you worried the demons will target you if they see you with me?"

The man looked at his injuries, which the demonic energy was corroding every moment, and smiled wryly, "Even if they don\'t specifically target me, I probably wouldn\'t survive this fight."

"So… You came hoping I would be able to help you?" Max asked in an emotionless voice.

To his surprise, the man shook his head and said, "No, sir. I came to help you and repay your kindness for saving my life."

"Oh? What made you think I need your help?" Max raised a brow.

The man smiled and handed him a spatial ring. "I don\'t know if you need any help now or not. But there are some Mana crystals inside, which will surely help you one way or another."

Max was surprised when he heard him.

Generally, those in the First to Three Star realms used low-level mana stones.

Those in Four and mid-stage Five Star used mid-level mana stones, and those in high-stage Five Star to Emperor realm used high-grade mana stones.

To people in the Monarch realm and Supreme Magus realm, the mana stones stopped being useful. So, instead of mana stones, they used Mana Crystals, something that had much higher purity of concentrated mana.

Unlike the high grade mana stones that could be exchanged at the rate of over a hundred mid grade mana stones to one high grade mana stone in the central plains, where high grade mana stone mines were in a decent number, and a few hundred mid-grade mana stones to one high grade in barren regions like the Green Leaf Kingdom, it was almost impossible to exchange the mana stones, no matter how many, for the mana crystals because even the mana rich central plains had a handful of mana crystal mines.

…

After giving him the spatial ring, the man turned around, wanting to leave, when he felt a hand grab his uninjured shoulder.

He turned his head around and saw Max frowning.

"What is it, sir?"

"No, nothing. You can go." Max said, pulling his hand back.

Just now, after hearing his words, he had checked the spatial ring and found there were indeed mana crystals, twenty two to be exact.

Despite having only heard of them, he knew how precious they were, so he decided to help him get rid of the demonic energy in his body, but just when he put a hand on his shoulder and was about to use some of his bloodline energy to force it out...

…the clump of devil blood gently trembled, and all the demonic energy was sucked out and absorbed by it in an instant.

When he noticed it seemed to have gained a hint of life after consuming the demonic energy, he frowned, worried that it would try to take control of him after it gained enough energy.

\'I have to get rid of it as soon as possible.\' He thought. He wanted to force it out the moment he had regained his senses, but he didn\'t have enough bloodline energy to do that. Even worse, he felt his bloodline energy was a little weaker than it, so if he wanted to force it out of his heart and body without struggling too much, he would need the Nascent Energy.

Of course, his Death Energy could also do it...

\'No, it has already caused enough harm to my mana veins.\' He thought, immediately throwing the thought out of his mind. The man confusedly nodded and was about to walk away when he heard Max ask, "What\'s your name?"

"It\'s Leo Feng, sir." The man answered, a smile appearing on his face. Although he wouldn\'t have minded it much even if he hadn\'t asked, he felt a weird sense of satisfaction knowing his savior cared enough, even if it was because of the mana crystals, to ask for his name.

"Leo…" Max muttered, suddenly remembering Ellie and pregnant Ella.

"Alright, Leo. Heal your wounds before you fight. I hope we can again."

Saying this, he grabbed him, Phoenix Wings\'s flapping with the boost of the last bits of the bloodline energy, and vanished from the place.

The Five Star demons tried following him but lost sight of him after just a few moments.

…

Thud!

Leo only felt a hand grabbing him before everything became blurry. When he regained his senses, he found himself crash landing near a group of humans, starting them.

"He helped me, huh?" He muttered, "But what\'s the use of living a little--"

Suddenly, his eyes widened because he realized there was no demonic energy left in his wounds and his injuries had stopped worsening, instead they were healing at a rapid speed, as if someone had given him a high grade healing pill.

…

Swoosh!

After dropping him in a relatively safe location, Max returned where Lily and others were.

Fortunately, even though he had two tough fights, not much time had passed, and they seemed to have only finished taking care of the demon group he left them to deal with.

Lily and Sera were the first to notice his sudden arrival. When they took a good look at him, they grew worried and rushed over.

"Are you alright?"
