Chapter 659  Slaughter [1]

When she saw Azaroth shake his head, her delicate brows rose ever so slightly. "Then what's the problem?"

"That kid... he isn't simple." Azaroth said, a solemn light flickering in his eyes, "I can't properly put it in words, but when I laid eyes on him, my instincts screamed at me to be his friend or at least not to become his enemy."

The queen's previous somewhat carefree expression disappeared when she heard him, and a gleam flashed in her eyes.

"You sure about it?" She asked,

Azaroth caressed her cheek with a finger and asked while looking deep in her eyes, a hint of smile in his eyes, "Even an ordinary King Mage would believe his instincts, let alone me."

The queen nodded and asked, "Then, what are you going to do now?"

"I'll give him the masked ghost, the guy who just left. Since only he has acted against his family, killing him would hopefully sate his anger."

"What if it did not?" The queen asked,

"If it did not..." Azaroth muttered, his gaze becoming vacant as she stared in the distance. "It will… it definitely will."

"Stop being so worried then." The queen said, placing her head on his shoulder and looking at him with her limpid eyes.

…

Swoosh!

Bang! Boom!

Ahhhh!

"Elder Bajj! Please help. Ah! Noooo–"

Splurt!

Until a few minutes after Max started recovering his bloodline energy, the group's situation was good. No strong demons had come to attack them. When some Five Star demon came, the Fuller high-stage Five Star mage, elder Bajj, Lily, and other Five Star Fullers would handle them.

But just a minute ago, a group of fifty suddenly appeared. The number wasn't a problem since the Fullers' group also had over fifty people, but the problem was there were three high-stage Five Star and a dozen at the mid-stage and early-stage Five Star demons among them, severely overpowering the group.

Lily went all out but could barely handle one of the three high-stage Five Star demons, while elder Bajj tried to stop the second one, but after just a minute, he was on the verge of death.

As for the last high-stage Five Star demon, Pauline, Sera, and a few of the Fuller Five Star magus were fighting him, but they clearly wouldn't last long.

Pauline's full body armor was almost destroyed, and she was supporting several injuries throughout her body. Sara was also injured because her strong defenses weren't strong enough for the demon.

Since the strongest of the group were having such a hard time, it was only to be expected the rest would fare even worse.

In just a few minutes, over a dozen of the Fullers had lost their lives, while most of the others were seriously injured.

Just now, it was the last cry of a peak Four Star Fuller mage before she was decapitated.

The demon put her mouth on her neck and sucked her blood dry in a few seconds before throwing it away and chuckling.

"Keke, how delicious! Good thing I joined this group or I would've left out on these treats."

"I don't think it was a good decision, though." Just as she wiped her mouth, she heard these words that sent chills down her spine.

Before she could do anything, she found her vision shifting.

'Huh? It's like I'm falling.' This was the last she had before she lost consciousness, her head having fallen to the ground.

Max, who had just left the Ice Dome after recovering half of his bloodline energy, looked around, his expression turning grim.

He had already noticed when the demon group arrived, but wanting to recover a little more bloodline energy and also wanting to give the group a wake-up call so they would start taking the battles seriously because his presence had seemed to have given them a sense of satisfaction, he decided to wait, but it seemed his decision wasn't right.

No matter how much he thought he wasn't their bodyguard and that deaths were normal in a battle of this scale, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

If he had just stopped recovering when he noticed them, he could've saved many of them, and Pauline, Sera, Emily, and Lily wouldn't have suffered so much… These thoughts kept resurfacing in his mind.

Ha!

Taking a deep breath, he glanced in Emily's direction… his eyes flashing with a vicious glint when he saw her bloody figure, barely able to hold her sword.

Swoosh!

He appeared in front of the three demons—two early-stage and one mid-stage Four Star—that were attacking her and grabbed the necks of two early-stage ones.

"If not for the situation, I would very much like to torture you until you beg me to kill you." He uttered in a bone chilling, cold voice before clenching his fingers and squashing their necks into a meat paste.

Bang!

He then turned to the mid-stage demon and punched his head, killing him too.

Thud!

Behind him, when Emily saw him, she felt the last bits of her strength leave her, and she slumped to the ground, her eyelids becoming heavy. Still, there was a small, satisfied smile on her bloody face because she had heard what he said to those demons.

After killing them, he picked her up, feeling his heart hurt when he scanned her body. Although she didn't have severe injuries, she had many minor to mid wounds and several of her bones had fractured, her mana core had dried up, and she was completely drained.

If he was just a few seconds late...

He didn't even want to think about it. Swoosh!

He took her to the ice dome, took out a clean mattress from his spatial ring, and gently laid her on top of it.

After giving her a few Grade three healing pills and injecting some of his bloodline energy into her body to help her recover faster, he gently said, "You sleep for a while, alright?"

Emily looked at him with her blurry eyes and nodded.

Before leaving the ice dome, he mixed his bloodline energy into mana and reinforced the structure so it wouldn't easily fall if some stray attacks landed on it.
