Chapter 750 Suspicion
As everyone gawked at him with mixed expressions on their faces, he swept his gaze across the petrified demons and said in an emotionless voice, "It's my turn now, isn't it? Let's see if you all can survive."
The demons felt their hearts drop at his words. Unlike the demons below, who were happy to see Max's condition, thinking he would be easier to kill now, they knew they wouldn't be able to do it, especially after seeing him kill the high-stage Five Star demons with his bare hands.
Swoosh!
Once he finished speaking, his dark crimson wings, which were being powered by the death energy along with the fire elemental mana and his bloodline, flapped, and he disappeared from their view. Immediately everyone went on full alert, but it was of no use as Max appeared in front of a peak Five Star howler demon in the next moment, his sapphire eyes tinged with a hint of pink and gray staring into the demon's dark, panic-filled eyes.
The howler demon, true to his nature, panicked just for a moment before a ruthless and savage glint flashed in his eyes as he opened his mouth to howl and activate his bloodline ability.
But before it could…
Shua!
Squelch!
Rip!
Max's bony hand, covered with death energy, shot out, thrust into his mouth, grabbed his tongue, and ripped it out, causing black blood to spray around.
The demon's eyes widened in horror. Clearly, he hadn't expected Max to be this… savage.
Max had the same cold and emotionless expression in his eyes as he, not giving the howler any chance to react, grabbed his shoulder with one hand, clenched the other into a fist, and punched his head.
BANG!
The demon's wolfish head exploded into a gory rain of blood, bone, and brain matter.
Swoosh!
Max released his grip on the now dead demon's shoulder and let his corpse fall down before turning around.
The demons looked at him, dread in their hearts and their expressions ugly.
Noticing Max's wings were gathering power to flap once again, a half-black, half-purple horned female demon took the lead and shouted, "Form up, everyone. We have to fight together if we—Nooo!"
Swoosh!
BANG!
Halfway through, her speech turned into a scream because Max had blinked in front of him and was punching toward her head. She tried to move away and dodge, but it was of no use, and she met the same fate as the first two demons.
Her death, however, bought the rest of the demons enough time to gather, which made Max sigh inwardly.
But when he turned to them, they all stiffened in fear, making him grin.
Despite seeing them standing next to each other, ready to bombard him with attacks if he dared to target any of them, there was no trace of fear in his eyes.
He wanted to charge and show them that no matter what they did, they would still die, but right then, he sighed and shot downwards.
Even though the death energy had enhanced his [Phoenix Wings] spell a lot, and he was able to glide and fly short distances using the strong propulsion, he still wasn't able to fly. He stayed all this while in the air was all because of the dense mess of the demonic energy that had given him a platform to launch himself. But it had dispersed by now; his body had lost all the momentum. So, he had no choice but to go down despite his reluctance.
The demons seemed to have forgotten about the fact that he wasn't able to stay in the air for much time and therefore weren't ready to take advantage of him flying down, or perhaps they were just too afraid to attack him now. But whatever it was, they just watched as he shot down.
Thud!
Max landed on the ground with a thud, crushing several Three and Four Star demons standing there since, after his warning, Martha and others had pulled back with their subordinates.
He then glanced at the demons flying in the sky, looking down at him with relieved, fearful, and angry looks in their eyes.
"Hmm?" He narrowed his eyes when he saw several of them glance at the human mages, Martha and others, and realized what they were planning to do and couldn't help but let out a silent groan of frustration.
A moment later, however, he shrugged, 'I have already warned them. If some of them die, it's their bad luck.'
Swoosh!
He then proceeded to ignore them and started massacring the demons around him.
"Ahhhh!"
"Save us—"
"Kill this human monster!"
"Nooooo—"
…
The Five Star demons' expressions turned ugly as they watched him kill their people. A few howler demons, in their rage, wanted to charge down, but the other demons stopped them.
"Are we going to let him, a filthy human, do as he pleases?!" A howler demon snarled at the Ashen Fiend who had stopped him.
Shua!
The Ashen Fiend released her aura, the black ashes flying around her as she narrowed her eyes at him, "What choice do we have? If we go down, he will kill us."
A moment later, she took a deep breath, retracted her aura and the black ashes, and then glanced in Martha and others' direction, "Since he is killing our people, let's kill his. Though it won't be enough to quell our rage, it's better than doing nothing."
"Hmph! Let's go then." The howler demon snorted and flew toward the human mages.
The female Ashen Fiend then glanced at two peak Five Star Frostclaw demons and coldly said, "What's going on?"
The other demons who were about to follow the howler demon paused when they heard this and looked at the Frostclaw demons in confusion.
The Frostclaw demon duo exchanged a look between them before looking at the Ashen Fiend with clueless looks on their faces. "What do you mean, burnt corpse?"
The female Ashen Fiend narrowed her eyes. "Do you think no one noticed when you held back earlier when we attacked him? Then after, he didn't target you two, and even the killing intent he directed toward you wasn't as strong."
"So, tell us, what's going on?"
The expressions of the demons from other tribes became hostile when they heard this. They had also noticed this but hadn't paid much attention, thinking it was a coincidence, but hearing her, they felt it was not.
