Swoosh!
The moment he moved, a tall demon appeared in front of him. Looking at him with a mocking look, he said in an amused tone.
“I would love to see you go there and die in Commander O’Mara’s hands. Unfortunately, Commander is very much interested in playing with his food, so I can’t allow you to interrupt his enjoyment even for half a second.”
Saying this, he immediately lunged forward and started attacking.
The human mage glanced in Max’s direction and muttered, ‘I’m sorry, sir, I can’t repay your kindness.’
…
In the center of the crater, O’mara slowly pulled back his hand and nodded, seemingly in appreciation, “You are good, and your bloodline even better. But let’s see how you can last.”
Saying this, he attacked again.
Bang!
Max met his punch, then the next and next.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
…
Each time their fists met, O’mara’s expression would become a little glummer while Max’s eyes would glow in excitement.
It wasn’t because he was stronger than the demon, but because he realized the demon’s punches were able to stimulate his body, allowing the [Barbarian God Physique] to circulate just a tiny bit.
‘How unfortunate I can’t let him punch my body!’ He sighed.
For a moment, he contemplated kidnapping this demon to progress his body cultivation, but he quickly shook the idea out of his mind because just a good beating wasn’t going to be enough to progress his body cultivation.
Just then, his bloodline sense tingled. When he paid attention, he noticed a few high-stage Five Star demons and a Peak Five Star demon, almost as strong as O’mara, slowly moving in their direction.
‘I should finish this fight as soon as possible.’ He thought.
Then, he slowly started increasing the amount of his bloodline energy in the mixture of mana and bloodline energy he was using to boost his strength.
O’mara immediately felt the change as he got suppressed a little more in every subsequent exchange.
“You want to kill me? You underestimate me, arrogant human!” He snarled as his scales lit up with a sanguine red glow that enveloped his entire body.
Immediately, he became leaner, and his veins bulged as his strength took a major leap.
Max’s expression changed when he noticed this.
‘He became almost thirty percent stronger?’
His first instinct was to forgo the mana and use his bloodline energy to quickly overpower and kill him, but with his bloodline sense, he noticed the Peak Five Star demon, previously pushing in their direction while fighting the human mages, had suddenly stopped fighting and was rushing over at a fast speed.
‘It’s probably because it had noticed him using his scales to gain the temporary power up. Thinking he would soon kill me and consume my blood, it became impatient.’ Max thought, his eyes completely calm.
‘You want a share of my blood, huh? Very well.’
Taking a deep breath, he retracted his bloodline energy even as O’mara moved in to punch his head.
Whoosh!
As the violent wind caused by the punch buffeted his face and caused his hair to dance about, he pulled on some of the refined Death Energy in his dantian and mixed it with his fire elemental mana.
As the Death Energy circulated through his mana veins, he felt as if they were going to explode, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
For a moment, he wondered if it was really a good idea to use this violent energy.
Rumble!
But when he saw the punch blazing toward him, about to crush his skull in the next second, he gritted his teeth and raised his hand.
Puff!
“Huh?!”
O’mara’s eyes widened, seeing his full-powered attack being blocked so… effortlessly.
More than that, he was shocked to realize the moment his punch smashed against Max’s palm, some invisible energy had immediately evaporated his bloodline and demonic energy.
Phew!
‘That was dangerous!’ Max exhaled in relief.
Though his mana veins had come on the verge of exploding, they did not when he infused the last remaining bits of Nascent Energy in them.
Then, without giving O’mara any chance, he fused a good amount of his bloodline energy into his fist and punched his head.
Swoosh!
Despite his shock, which had dazed him for a moment, O’mara managed to react on time and tried to grab his fist just like Max had done while tilting his head to the side.
Boom!
However… when Max’s fist smashed against his palm, it directly exploded, and the punch found its aim, O’mara’s head.
BANG!
Crack!
There was a crisp bang followed by the sound of his skull breaking.
“Hm?” Max frowned because his attempt to block, although it failed, had managed to sap quite some power off his punch. Because of which, O’mara was still alive, although on the verge of death.
Swoosh!
Just then, the sound of someone rushing reached their ears before a menacing voice sounded.
“MOVE BACK, HUMAN!”
O’mara, ears buzzing and his vision white because of the impact to his brain, grinned, “I… will… fight you… lat–”
Bang!
Before he could finish his, Max punched him again, properly shattering his head this time.
“No, you won’t.” He muttered before taking out his demon core and throwing a ball of fire on his body, wanting to burn it so this new arrival wouldn’t be able to suck his blood to increase their strength.
“HOW DARE YOU!!”
The enraged voice sounded before the figure of a short but bulky demon appeared beside the corpse and hurriedly put out the fire.
Max’s face fell, not because this demon would be able to suck O’mara’s blood, but because he realized this demon gave him a more dangerous feeling.
Checking his remaining bloodline energy, he muttered, “This is going to be troublesome.”
However, just then, Wyomin’s voice sounded in his head: [Try to hold on for half a minute. Help is coming.]
Max’s eyes flickered.
Then, he immediately moved in to attack the short demon, knowing he wouldn’t fight him seriously until he managed to suck O’mara’s blood.
So, his aim was to stop him from sucking his blood for half a minute.
