Chapter 522 Terrifying bloodline


    System''s voice sounded in Max''s head, [Congrattions! Lust Overlord bloodline''s partial merging sessful!]


    As soon as the system''s voice sounded in his head, his mind grew clear and a cooling sensation spread throughout his body, negating the sonic attack''s effects within what seemed like a second.


    This thoroughly surprised Max. Just a moment ago, he thought he was going to die and a momentter; he was normal. ''This is unbelievable…'' He thought, discreetly taking a deep breath lest the demon noticed the change in him.


    Then, he gripped the thunder sword which, thankfully, the demon hadn''t taken, and not wasting any time, he used his mana to enhance his agility to the limits and jumped to his feet, his sword wielding hand sweeping out horizontally, shing at the demon''s neck with lighting fast speed.


    Whoosh!


    "Huh?"


    The demon, who had just turned around to walk toward Rey and others, was stunned when he felt the movement behind him. At the same time, a feeling of intense danger filled his heart.


    Whoosh!


    Without turning around, his right hand which had the ck glove on swept behind him over his neck to defend against the iing strike. After which he rotated his demon core to release as much as demon energy he could and prepared to sh away.


    Max, seeing his fast reaction, frowned. Although the thunder sword was sharp, he knew it couldn''t sh through the glove''s protection before shing his neck off, the fact proved by their earlier exchange. It was more true now since the glove was activated.


    He had less than a split second to think because once the demon got away, he would be dead even if his bloodline could negate the glove''s strange sonic attack. He wasn''t a match for a mid-stage four-star demon, after all.


    Right at this time, the system came to his aid, saying:


    [Host, try coating the sword with the bloodline''s aura.]


    Without hesitation, he sent his senses inside his body, to his blood, and could ''see'' a few pinkish red tendrils floating around his blood. The moment he ''saw'' them, he tried to call them out, but… nothing happened.


    By now, the sword was almost touching the demon''s glove and demonic energy had enveloped the demon. Less than a momentter, he would sh away and then Max and hispanions would die brutal deaths.


    Fortunately for Max, an invisible strand of energy suddenly covered those tendrils and ording to his will, brought them out and covered the edges of his swords. Then, St!


    Sword cleaved the gloved hand in two, causing the demon''s expression to turn horrified. However, he couldn''t do anything before the sword shed through his neck.


    "H-How…did…you…" The demon gripped his neck and started to say something but couldn''tplete the sentence before the blood started spraying out of neck which then rolled down his head. Thud!


    Thest expression on his face was of disbelief. The sudden turn of events had thoroughly shocked him. First, Max—a puny three-star mage—stood up like nothing happened after he was hit with his glove''s sonic attack, which many five-star demons couldn''t defend against. Then he managed to cut through his gloved hand as though it was a tofu before shing through his neck. Although the glove wasn''t a defense type artifact, it was a peak king rank artifact with defenseparable to a peak five-star and maybe an early-star king rank artifact. Besides, wasn''t his sword unable to pierce through the glove just a while ago, and it was when the glove wasn''t activated. So, how did it suddenly be sharp enough to cut through it like it was nothing and kill him?


    Unfortunately, it would forever remain a mystery to him.


    Puah!


    Before Max could celebrate his kill, he spat out three mouthfuls of blood in a row, his face turning even paler. However, his lips couldn''t help but curl up in small smile which then gradually turned into a full-blownughter.


    "Hahahaha!"


    …


    A moment ago, Rey, Ellie, Ellie''s mother was sweating in terror when they saw the demon take down Max and turn toward them. It was especially true for Ellie who almost passed out when the demon looked at them with killing intent in his eyes.


    But just a momentter, Max stood up and the demon''s neck fell down. This shocked them and made them exhale in relief too. Contrary to them, the group of four demons and the demon''s two wives, who were coldly watching everything, had their eyes bulge out in shock before their faces turned pale when they saw him die.


    "H-How is that possible? H-He killed husband?" The demoness duo mumbled dazedly while the group of four demons also had looks of disbelief on their faces.


    "Young… young lord died?" …


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Just then, a group of three—one of the elf teams—arrived. Max,ughing like a manic, was the first to attract their attention. They frowned, not understanding why he was behaving this way. Then, they noticed two demoness and the group of four demons standing there as if in daze. This only deepened their confusion, especially the two three-star elves. As for the early-stage four-star elf, he quickly noticed the two demon corpses and realized what was going on.


    "Let''s kill these demons. Move!" He ordered and rushed toward the demon''s wives who were nearest to him. However, before he could attack them, Max stoppedughing and shouted. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    "Don''t kill them. Just make sure they don''t flee."


    The elf frowned, but did as he was told. The demonesses had no desire to fight after seeing their ''almighty'' husband die. So, when they saw the elf, who they immediately recognized as a four-star mage, they tried to flee only to fail and were captured by him.


    As for the group of four demons, they came to their senses when they heard Max''s shout. The two uninjured demons nced at their injuredpanions, hesitating for a moment before rushing away.


    However, before they could go far,


    Whoosh!


    Max appeared in front of them, a pair of crimson wings pping behind his back.


    sh! sh!


    Wasting no time, he shed twice, shing their necks off, instantly killing them. He then pped his wings once again and appeared before the two injured demons, who were captured by the two elves.


    The demons exchanged nces, and their chests started expanding. Clearly, they wanted to self-detonate, hoping to kill or injure the elves and Max.


    Unfortunately for them,


    sh! sh!


    Max''s hand moved, and their necks flew in the air. After killing them, he pped his wings and flew toward the demonesses, who, seeing hime over, panicked and fell to their knees.


    Thud! Thud!


    "O great human warrior! Please don''t kill us. We are willing to be your—" Even as they cried, Max shed out and decapitated them.


    The four-star elf frowned and coldly asked, "Why didn''t you let me kill them since you didn''t have any other n for them?"


    Max gave him a look and calmly said, "You wouldn''t understand. But you can take their cores."


    Saying this, he dug out their cores and gave them to him before burning the demonesses'' corpses with two fireballs. He then nced at the other two elves—who had already dug their demons'' cores out and said, "Destroy their corpses and move out of here."
