nWhoosh!

nThe duo came to an abrupt halt. Exchanging a glance between them, they moved in the voice’s direction to see what was happening from behind a broken wall.

nThere was a group of ten demons looking at the four demons’ corpses with enraged expressions on their faces.

n“It seems some outside bastards have sneaked in the town.” One of them said, her brows furrowed.

nHearing this, a demon standing opposite to her shouted, “You bitch! How would you know? This town is situation in the middle of nowhere and I doubt many in the outside world know about it, so who would come here? It’s clearly those ugly bastards’ doing. They are taking revenge on our group because we killed a few of their people last time.”

nSaying this, he looked at other and said, “We should complain to the young master about it and ask his permission to finish this matter once and for all.”

nNo one said anything in response and maintained their silence. The female demon who spoke before snickered mockingly before pointing at the demon corpses. “Use your eyes and see, you useless thing. Their heads are cleanly sliced off with some sharp weapon. Tell me, does anyone from our tribe use such weapons? And even if a few uses them, can those crude weapons penetrate three-star demons’ defenses? It’s clearly some outsider’s doing. So, stop trying to use this as an excuse to exact your personal revenge.”

nHearing her words, the demon was infuriated, “What do you mean ‘personal revenge’, bitch?! Don’t tell me you don’t want to kill those bastards for what they did? If I’m not wrong, your younger brother also died that day, didn’t he?”

nBoom!

nAs soon as he said this, the demoness’ eyes burned with anger and she appeared in front of him, punching him in the gut and sending him flying several meters back.

n“If you dare say another word, I’ll disregard the fact we belong to the same faction and kill you.” She said, her voice freezing cold.

nOther demons gave the guy pitiful looks and shook their heads in disappointment.

nThe demon was first stunned and then became angry. However, he didn’t say anything this time because he knew she would really kill him.

n‘Just you wait until we go back to the camp. I’ll have you humiliated and killed, you arrogant bitch!’ He cursed in his mind.

nBehind the wall, Emily frowned when she saw this. Because the demons were speaking in their native language, she didn’t understand anything they said, so she turned to Max and asked, “What’s going on? Why are they fighting?”

n“They had arguments, and that demon said something about that demoness’ dead brother, which infuriated her.” Max answered, his gaze focused on the demon seething in anger but not able to do anything about it.

nNoticing this, Emily asked, “What are you thinking?”

nMax looked at her said, “From what I could understand, although the demons rampaging around this town belong to the same race, they are divided in two groups and this group, especially that demon seems to have some deep enmity with the other group. So, I’m thinking of enslaving this guy and using him to kill others. It would be easier than running around searching for the demons.”

nEmily looked at him with a blank expression before saying, “Do you think it would be easy to enslave him? Although he hates the other demons, I’m he hates us humans the most.”

nIn response, Max shrugged. “We won’t know if we don’t try, right?”

nEmily just looked at him, not saying anything.

nOn the other side, the demoness glanced at others and said, you guys stay here while I go and inform young master about this incident.”

nSaying this, she rushed toward the town’s center with three others, leaving six demons behind.

nMax frowned. Although this was great for him since he and Emily won’t have as much problem killing just six demons, but if their leader was informed and they became alert, the situation would turn dangerous for him and his group.

nThinking this, he glanced at Emily and said, “You stay here, don’t let them notice you. I’ll be back in a while.”

nEmily knew what he was planning. Despite feeling worried about his well-being, she didn’t stop him and just nodded, “Alright. You be careful of that demoness. She is a peak three-star demon.”

nMax nodded. Then, a pair of fiery wings, albeit translucent, appeared on his back.

nWhoosh!

nThe wings flapped lightly, and he disappeared from the place with a silent whoosh.

nEmily watched him go before her gaze moved over to the group of demons, her eyes flashing with a cold light.

n…

n“Mm?”

nAs the demoness and three others were running toward the town’s center, her ears twitched. A frown appeared on her face before she shouted, “Watch out!”

n“Huh?” Her three companions were puzzled, but a split second later, they felt a strong sense of terror rising in their heart. Immediately, they released their demon energy to jump to the side.

nHowever, before they move…

nWhoosh!

nA powerful gust of wind hit them. Ignoring it, they wanted to dodge, but almost at the same time, they felt something cold on the back of their necks before their heads flew in the air. Expressions of terror, astonishment, and confusion etched on their faces.

nThud! Thud! Thud!

nAs the heads and bodies fell to the ground one after another, Max’s figure materialized in the place where they stood a moment before.

nEyes wide, the demoness stared at Max in shock. In the next moment, however, she regained her senses.

nGlancing at her companions’ corpses, her expression turned grim, but when she looked at him, she could feel that even though this guy was quite strong, he wasn’t a peak three-star mage yet, which helped her relax a little.

nBut in the next moment, her brows knitted in concentration. ‘If he isn’t even a peak three-star mage, how did he instantly kill three high-stage three-star demons?’ She thought before her gaze trailed down to the blue sword in his hand. ‘It’s because of this sword…’ She understood and immediately put her guard up.

nShe then looked at Max and started to say, “So, you are the one who is kill—”

nWhoosh!

nMax didn’t wait for her to finish. His wings flapped lightly, and he appeared in front of her, his sword slashing horizontally at her neck.
