Chapter 520 We are Doomed
Although Max was focused on beating or rather trying to kill the demoness, he also paid attention to the other demons, Emily and co. Therefore, he noticed the moment demons and Rey sent the message for help and his expression turned grim.
'I need to kill her as soon as possible.' He thought.
Just then, the demoness' snickered, "Keke, you are thinking of killing me, aren't you? But… how will you? You can't do anything apart from injuring me and stopping me from attacking you."
When he heard this, the corner of his lips curled up into a grin, and he asked, "You really think so?"
'Hm?' The demoness suddenly felt an ominous feeling rising in her heart when she saw his expression. Immediately, she channeled all her demon energy to flash away from him.
Whoosh!
Unfortunately, Max was paying close attention to her every move, and he immediately followed by using [Pheonix Wings] once again. 'Those damned wings!' The demoness gritted her teeth and prepared to move away once again. However, before she could even channel her energy, she saw a sword appearing in Max's hand. It was thin, over three feet long, and a sky-blue colored sword—The thunder sword.
Although Max couldn't activate its true power because of his low cultivation base, just the sharpness of it was enough for him. He had killed many three-star demons with it in a single stroke, after all, and none of them was able to resist it in the slightest.
"Let's see if I can kill you now or not." Max declared, sending a downward kick at her abdomen.
Bang!
Puah~!
The demoness spat out a mouthful of blood and a wave of pain spread throughout her body from the abdomen. She, however, ignored it completely and forcibly used all her demon energy to dodge.
Swoosh!
As soon as she moved to the side, the thunder swords whistled down and slashed down on the ground where she was just now. This made Max frown. 'A four-star demon is really difficult to kill. If I didn't have the [Pheonix Wings], I wouldn't be a match for her let alone threaten her life.' He thought and immediately pulled the sword back and slashed at the demoness' neck at his fastest speed.
"Ahhhh! YOU CAN'T KILL ME!" The demoness shouted and rotated her demon core as fast as possible to circulate more of her demon energy to dodge.
Swoosh!
Once again, she successfully managed to evade, but her heart was filled with dread and fury. She couldn't believe she was on the verge of death when fighting against a three-star human. And the fact that she couldn't retaliate at all, even though she was stronger and had more energy than him in her core, made her gnash her teeth in humiliation and anger.
Whoosh!
Before she could even catch her breath or do anything, Max again appeared in front of her and slashed at her neck. He was frowning right now because her continued dodges made him agitated. He knew if he couldn't kill soon, he wouldn't be able to afterwards when her reinforcements arrived and that would worsen things.
The demoness forced her core to rotate once again, but that made her cough out a mouthful of blood and just a tiny bit of demon energy emerged, which then circulated. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to move her battered body out of the sword's trajectory.
"NOOOO!" The demoness cried out in horror while her wriggling skin gathered around her neck before hardening.
Max frowned slightly when he noticed this, before a cold look flashed in his eyes. Although he didn't know how sharp the thunder sword was, given the fact that it was a monarch ranked sword, it shouldn't have any problem slashing her neck off even if her wriggling skin gave her a defense as strong as a peak three-star or even early-stage four-star defensive earthen spell or perhaps even stronger.
Swoosh!
The sword whistled and within a split second; it was merely a friction of an inch away from her neck. The demoness' face was covered in horror and despair while a glint an excitement and relief flashed in Max's eyes. However,
Swoosh!
Before his sword could slash through her neck, they heard a piercing sound whistled toward him.
When the demoness heard this, her eyes shone with hope.
Max knew her reinforcements had arrived and were trying to stop him from killing her. He, however, ignored everything and released his mana to enhance the speed of his sword, wanting to kill her off as quickly as possible.
"DON'T YOU DARE!" A blood chilling shout exploded in his ears before a wave of demon energy hit him and blasted him away.
Even as Max flew away, spitting out blood, he was smiling because right before the demon energy hit him; he had managed to slash her neck off, killing her.
He then channeled his mana and twisted his body to land on his feet. He didn't look at who had attacked him or how many demons had come; instead, he opened his status panel.
[Kill Points: 15,000 --> 68,000] His eyes shone when he saw his kill points had increased by 53,000. He didn't need to think much to know why he got so many points, even though he had only killed two demons.
'That three-star demon should've given me 3000 while the demoness should've 25,000, but since I had completed the mission and got the 2x point multiplier, they became 50,000.
Wasting no time, he ordered, 'System, put all the Kill points in the Mana.'
As soon as he said this, the kill points reduced to 0 while his mana count increased.
[Mana: 20,000/ (51,000 --> 57,800)]
'20,000…' He muttered inwardly. Thanks to the 6800 mana units, he just added, he now had 20,000 units left to use. Before he had time to recover his mana, he needed to handle the situation with these. Of course, he could kill more demons, get kill points and covert them into mana, increasing his mana reserves. Taking a deep breath, he looked at the demon reinforcements who stood beside the demoness' corpse.
There were three demons—one male and two females. The one in the middle and the leader of the trio were the male demon. He looked to be in his late twenties while two female demonesses stood on his either side. Compared to the other demons, they were quite beautiful and didn't look any older than the male demon.
Currently, the demon was looking at the demoness' corpse with a blank look on his face. It seemed he could believe what he was seeing. The two demonesses, on the other hand, had narrowed their eyes and Max could also see a pleased glint flashing in them.
When Max looked at the man, his expression turned serious because he could feel a strong sense of danger from him, even more than what he felt from the demoness he just killed after so much effort.
'A mid-stage four-star demon…' His expression turned even more solemn when he noticed his cultivation realm. 'We are doomed.'
The demon's expression gradually turned savage and blood veins filled his eyes. He lifted his head to glare at him and let out a deafening roar.
"HUMAN BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU KILL MY WIFE!"
As soon as he shouted, he disappeared, causing Max's expression to stiffen, and he hurriedly rotated his mana core and channeled as much mana as he could into activating his [Pheonix Wings] to flash away.
