Chapter 746 Fiora Arasia
"Lord Max, please help us."
Max was caught off guard by the sudden shout, and when he saw who it was who had shouted, he became surprised, as this guy was the same one who was planning to act against him with Count Wiley.
Now, however, he was asking for his help without any hesitation or shame in his voice.
In just a moment, he understood why this was so.
'He thinks I don't know the Dalton family was also planning to hunt me down. And though he might be aware of that guy'sâJamesâparents going to kill me at the Cloud Academy, he might want to brush it off as personal enmity. Additionally, he is also relying on the fact that we, as humans, are on the same side and should help each other.'
He couldn't help but feel some respect for his thick skin.
But then he proceeded to ignore him and focused his gaze on Count Wiley, who had gone deathly pale and was looking at him with dread in his eyes and... a black talisman in his hand.
"Hmm?" His eyes narrowed when he sensed the complex and powerfulâthough subdued since it wasn't activatedâfluctuations emitting from the talisman and realized he had to be careful.
A high-stage Five Star female mage from the Arasia family, seeing he was focused on Count Wiley and had no intention of helping them, spoke to him via her divine sense, [You are Max, right? That little girl Flavia's... friend?]
Hearing this, Max raised his eyebrows and shifted his gaze to her.
[I know you don't have a good impression of our family, and I completely understand that. If I were in your place, I would be angry too.]
Max glanced at Count Wiley before shifting his gaze to the five Five Star demons.
With a thought, the Thunder Sword appeared in his hand as he released Leo's hand. Swoosh!
As he started falling, fiery wings appeared on his back and flapped. Swoosh!
He shot toward the demons like a shooting star, a bit of Death Energy already coating the sword's blade.
Count Wiley and Dean's eyes flickered when they saw him take out the sword. Dean instinctively glanced at Count Wiley to confirm if it was the same sword, and Count Wiley nodded.
A flicker of greed had just lit up in his heart when he saw Max behead a mid-stage Five Star demon in what seemed like an effortless stroke, and it was immediately extinguished. Then, he watched as Max single-handedly slaughtered the rest of the Five Star demons; even the high-stage Five Star demon couldn't put up a decent fight and thoroughly dismissed the idea of getting the thunder sword.
Count Wiley clenched the talisman tightly, and gritting his teeth, he took out a communication crystal, different from the normal ones. This one had the longest range and was able to transmit the messages to the faraway central plains.
Even when he was sure Max had the Thunder Sword, he hadn't informed the person of the Thunder Family who tasked him to find it because he planned to get it before informing him since informing him when he hadn't acquired it wouldn't be as useful as he would get less rewards.
Now, however, he knew his fate was sealed. Even his [Witch's Destruction Talisman] wouldn't be able to save him. So, the rewards no longer mattered. Right now, he only wanted to cause Max as much trouble as he could and ensure if the demons failed to kill him, the Thunder family would kill him.
Swoosh!
Max's bloodline sense was focused on him even though he was fighting the demons. Therefore, he immediately noticed this and realized what he wanted to do.
Swoosh!
His wings flapped, and he shot in his direction.
