BOOM!!
As soon as he covered himself with the horned shield, the mana beam collided with it and a deafening explosion, even louder and stronger than the one before, resounded, almost rupturing the people eardrums that were present.
After the explosion vanished, Max and others could see a 2-meters deep, 3-meters wide and hundreds of meters long crater starting from the place where Mehak was standing a while ago.
As for Mehak, he was lying at the end of the crater, over half a mile away. Max rushed over to him to see his condition and almost couldn’t believe his eyes.
Why?
Because even though the black-horned shield had a few cracks, and was missing some edges, and his hands were a bloody mess, he was still alive.
When he saw Max appear in front of him again, a savage expression appeared on his face.
“Do you have any more tricks?” He asked, but didn’t wait for Max to respond. Throwing the wrecked shield away, he rushed at him.
Even though he was injured, his speed was almost as fast Max’s. Within a split second, he appeared in front of him, clenched his fist, which was then covered by his black demon energy, and threw a punch at his chest.
Max, who hadn’t expected him to be alive after the talisman’s attack, wasn’t prepared for his sudden attack and thus, couldn’t react in time.
Bang!
Crack!
The punch landed heavily on his chest, and broke a few of his ribs and almost destroyed his heart.
Kuh!
A spray of blood burst out of his mouth as he was sent cruising through the air and crashed into the crater.
Whoosh!
Bang!
Mehak appeared in front of him again and kicked him in the gut, sending him flying again.
—
When Amara and Emily saw Max being punched and kicked around, they tried to rush toward him but were stopped by their opponents.
“Ahhh! I’ll kill you!” Amara roared as her bloodline energy burst out in waves toward the demon.
But he had already seen what became of the second demoness after she was hit with her blood energy. So, he immediately retreated and dodged it.
Amara didn’t care if he was hit with her blood energy or not.
Whoosh!
She rushed at him at her top speed and because the demon was weaker than her, despite him trying his best to dodge, she caught up to him and punched him in the gut, sending him flying. After that, she didn’t bother with him and rushed toward Max.
On the other side, Emily had already left her opponent in the dust with her speed and was just a hundred meters away from Max.
Despite being injured, Leticia also rushed towards him, using her bloodline energy to boost her speed, but she was slower than Amara and Emily.
Belen also wanted to go, but she was busy restricting the demoness.
Because she hadn’t killed her when she had the chance, the demoness had recovered and was now resisting more and more. No matter how hard she tried to strangle her with her vines, she couldn’t kill or even asphyxiate her. Now she was regretting her decision to torture her instead of killing her instantly.
“Mm?” Mehak frowned when he noticed Amara and Emily rushing toward him. He put his foot on Max’s chest, who was lying under him, all bloody, and sneered,
“See this? See how useless you are that you need them to save your ass? Haha! Weren’t you boasting that you were going to kill us? Can you say that now?”
Max didn’t answer and just stared at him with blurry eyes.
“Tsk! Tsk! You can’t even respond now? Since that’s the case, let me send you to the afterlife. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of these women very well.”
Mehak licked his lips while looking at Amara, Emily and Leticia and then raised his leg to stomp on Max’s head when he saw his lips move and heard a faint voice.
“I’m… curious about… something.”
“Hm? What is it?” Mehak asked, curious. He wasn’t worried that Max could do anything because he had broken almost every bone in his body.
“I’m curious… about your horn’s power. Can it…”
“Can it, what?” Mehak asked.
“Can it restore you if your limbs are cut off?”
Mehak frowned but still answered, “No.”
“I thought the same.” Max’s faint voice suddenly became normal and a blue sword appeared in his right hand.
Slash!
Before Mehak could react to this sudden change, Max slashed the sword through the thigh of his raised foot.
Thud!
His leg fell on Max’s chest, and blood started spraying on him from the wound. Max then jumped to his feet, kicked Mehak’s fine leg, making him fall down, and then stepped on his chest.
“AHHHHHHH!” Mehak let out a guttural roar as he grabbed his severed thigh, trying to stop the bleeding.
In just a moment, their roles were reversed. Amara, Emily, Leticia and the demons chasing after them were stunned and stopped in their tracks. None of them expected something like this to happen.
Emily raised her brows. “Did he plan it from the beginning?”
“I-I don’t think so.” Amara shook her head. “Master isn’t someone who likes to take beatings willingly.”
She still clearly remembered how angry he got when she had beaten him up when they met for the first time. If not for the ‘senior’s’ intervention, he might have tortured her to death.
She was right. Max never planned to get beaten up. He wasn’t a masochist who enjoyed pain.
After he was caught unaware and got a ruthless punch in his chest which broke many of his ribs, damaged his internal organs and almost destroyed his heart, he was about to retaliate by using the rest of his mana then kill him with another grade four offensive talisman but right then,
Something happened that made him stop.
