Grinning, he shook his head, “And no. This isn’t a bloodline energy. But the energy I cultivated with an ancient formation spell I accidentally found years ago. Don’t worry, you’ll taste it soon.”
“Also, after arriving here, I used many tender girls of your kind to cultivate it. They were delicious.”
Saying this, he glanced at Emily, who he thought was his companion since she was the only other human in the group, and licked his lips. “After I kill you, I’ll taste her, too. I’m sure she will be even more delicious and will help me create quite a bit of this energy. Keke.”
Boom!
As soon as he heard this, Max’s expression turned dark, his aura sphere turned violent, his eyes turned red and the fire wings on his back started flickering as though they were going to disappear anytime soon. It was obvious Nix’s words had enraged him.
Whoosh!
Seeing this, Nix’s eyes flashed with a crafty light and he immediately disappeared and appeared in front of Max.
Hiss~!
His grayish energy snaked around his fist and the rest of his arm as he punched at Max’s head so fast that his hand seemed to disappear before appearing just an inch away from his head.
Although he was confident he could kill Max without taking advantage of this moment when Max’s emotions were in turmoil, but he didn’t want to waste such a good opportunity and waste more energy because he knew he had to deal with someone else too after this.
“Oh, no!” the four-star elves exclaimed in worry. They had also noticed Max lose control of his emotion and mana.
Boom!
Seeing this, Emily released her elemental mana, and the wind around her turned violent, pushing the elves away.
Whoosh!
She then flashed toward Max—her figure almost disappearing—to save him, but she could see she won’t be able to reach in time even with her fastest speed, even though he wasn’t too far away.
On the other side, Miss Yin squinted her eyes when she saw the gray energy swirling around Nix like living serpents and clenched her fists.
‘Sigh! To think I put my hopes on him. Such a pity!’ She sighed, regretting putting her hopes on Max.
However, in the next moment, her eyes widened and she couldn’t help but exclaim out loud, “What?!”
It wasn’t only she who had such a violent reaction, but everyone watching the fight, be it demons or elves. Emily also halted in her tracks, her wide eyes betraying her shock.
Nix also revealed a shocked expression which quickly morphed into a horrified one because right as his punch was about to burst Max’s head into pieces, Max suddenly grinned.
Weng~!
Weng~!
The previously violent aura sphere suddenly calmed down and started shrinking, the pink hue becoming more and more apparent and concentrated as the sphere neared Max’s body and the pressure inside the sphere started climbing up.
Of course, it didn’t affect him, but the other person present near him—Nix. The increasing pressure slowed down Nix’s movements, and it almost came to a halt when the sphere compressed to a meter radius.
Although this seemed to take quite a bit of time when narrated, in reality, all this happened in a split second.
Swoosh!
As soon as the sphere stopped shrinking, and while Nix was surprised and suppressed by the sudden drastic increase in the pressure, Max took a step back, tightened his grip on the sword hilt, and in one swift slash, he decapitated him.
“Impossible—” Right before his neck flew into the air, Nix had an expression of horror and disbelief.
Though he had expected Max to have some other trump card, not force once he expected it to be something so peculiar that could restrict his movements and make him unable to defend.
“Nothing is impossible.” Max smirked, his face pale white as though he didn’t have a single drop of blood left in him.
Thud!
Nix’s headless corpse fell to the ground in front of him. He looked at it for a moment before raising his head to admire his aura sphere that enabled him to achieve the impossible feat of killing a high-stage four-star demon with a cultivation base of a high-stage three-star.
Whoosh!
Thud!
He then dispelled it and immediately felt a wave of weakness hit his mind and body, causing him to fall to his knees and heave deep breaths.
The elves, Emily, the demons, everyone stood rooted in their place, too stunned to react in any way.
After a few moments, Emily took a deep breath and flashed toward him. Others also came to their senses.
“W-What happened?”
“How is this possible? How did he kill the young master?”
Although the demons could see Nix’s corpse lying there, they were still in disbelief. Meanwhile, the elves cheered.
“Amazing! Leader is amazing!”
“Yeah. A three-star mage killing a high-stage four-star demon, especially someone from this small kingdom. If we tell someone about it, they won’t believe us at all.”
“How can they? I doubt even those geniuses in the central plains can achieve this feat.”
The male and female four-star elves looked at each other and could see shock written on each other’s faces.
They were silent for a while before the male elf spoke, stuttering.
“H-He… did he just manipulated his aura sphere?”
The female elf nodded, almost robotically, “Yes. He did.”
“H-How did he do it? I heard only those existences above emperor realm can do it.” The male elf said.
“No clue.” The female elf shook her head. She then quickly snapped out of it, glanced at the dazed demons, and cast a water spell which created many water bullets in front of her and said, “Let’s finish them.”
Whoosh!
Saying this, she rushed toward them while waving her hand, which sent the water bullets barreling in the demon group’s direction.
The male elf followed her lead and started casting his spells. The elves also reacted and rushed after them, and showered the demons with earth, water, fire, wind attack spells.
