Chapter 673 Arrived
"At least he is not dead." Boom!
The moment these words left Armand's mouth, Lily, Emily, and Sera's mana flared, and they rushed at him, murder in their eyes.
Arman frowned, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
The woman beside Armand helplessly sighed as she gave him a side-eyed look, "You really don't know how to speak. No wonder you have no luck getting women."
Her words made Armand frown. Max facing fifteen peak Five Star mages while being an early-stage Four Star mage himself had impressed him, and the fact that the demon emperors considered him a big enough threat to break the rules to kill him made him admire him.
He had already forgotten about the little faceoff he had with him earlier and truly felt pity for him.
His earlier words were meant to console his women because, in his opinion, they should be more relieved than sad since he survived an emperor rank expert's attack, which, for a low realmed mage like him, was no easy feat by any means.
Swoosh!
He waved his hand and created an earth barrier in front of him and opened his mouth, about to say something when...
Wiss!
Boom!
…The earth barrier rapidly froze and then exploded in pieces.
Shuu!
Immediately after, a sharp Ice Lance whistled through the air and headed for his head.
Seeing this, a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he was about to get serious when the woman beside him extended her hand and grabbed the Ice Lance before flourishing her aura field and shouting:
"It's enough!"
When her aura pressure helped them snap back to their senses, they stopped.
"He meant well by his words." The woman said, "You truly should be relieved that he is still alive."
While Lily and Sera furrowed their brows, confused because they didn't understand why they reacted so intensely, Emily huffed in anger as the golden glow that had overtaken half of her pupils slowly receded.
Then she looked up in the sky and shouted with all her might, using her wind elemental mana to amplify her voice even more.
"Emperor Wyomin, how is he?"
Lily and Sera wanted to apologize to Armand, but when they heard her, their attention immediately shifted to Wyomin.
However, Wyomin didn't respond and focused on casting her spells, which made the trio even more worried.
Swoosh!
Just then, Martha returned and said, "Don't worry. With Lady Wyomin treating him, he will be fine. You guys should focus on earning War Merits."
The trio just nodded, showing no intention of moving from the place; their worried gazes still focused on him.
Martha frowned before saying in a grave tone, "There is a possibility that even she might not be able to fully heal him. After all, a Demon emperor had attacked him…"
Swoosh!
These words immediately attracted their attention. While Lily and Sera didn't get aggressive like before, anger flickered in Emily's eyes, but before she could do anything, she heard Martha contine.
"...If you have enough War Merits, you can use them in the War Temple and ask emperor mages who specialize in healing to help him."
Hearing this, the trio's gaze flickered.
Since Alton and Wyomin stayed to escort them to the battlefront, they were definitely battle-oriented mages, which meant what Martha said could be true.
Swoosh!
Emily immediately rushed away and started fighting the demons.
Lily and Sera, after thanking Martha for the reminder, also joined the battle.
Watching them leave, Martha sighed, "That guy is lucky to have someone care for her so much."
The woman walked over and gently grabbed her hand.
Martha took a deep breath, dispelling the negative feeling arising in her heart, and smiled at her follower and friend, Amanda.
"Let's go and kill some too."
Swoosh!
Following her words, the group of five started slaughtering the demons in droves.
…
While everyone was curious, thinking who Max was and feeling pity for him, the members of the Seidel, Arasia, and Martell families had frowns on their faces.
[This won't do. We need to find a way to capture him and send him back to the family as soon as possible.]
The man from Seidel's trio spoke through mental communication to his female companions.
Even though they were enemies, they weren't happy when the demon emperor attacked him because he was too important to their families to die in the demons' hands.
That was why, when they realized he had left the city with them, they were beyond furious but could do nothing about it.
[But there is nothing we can do.] One of the women said, looking at Alton and Wyomin.
After a moment, the other woman said, [You are right. We can't do anything... until the War Temple is established.]
Hearing this, the duo's eyes brightened.
From the information their families gave them, they knew once the War Temples were established, emperor mages would monitor them all the time.
The Arasias and Martells were also cooking up their plans.
…
Out of every human present, seeing Max in a half-dead state, only one person felt happy—Count Wiley.
Just like Lily and others, he was also constantly looking at Max while fighting the demons, but unlike them, he was hoping Max would die.
…
Half an hour soon passed, and over ninety percent of the demons died.
True to his words, Alton let the remaining demons leave.
After that, the group continued traveling.
Everyone expected more demon groups to come and stop them, but to their surprise and relief, none came.
By the time the sun was setting, the now-five thousand human army had arrived at the battlefront.
Those who were familiar with the area knew it was a lush forested region, but right now, it had turned into a wasteland with burst trees, charred and mangled corpses of humans and demons, and deep craters.
They could see many small groups of humans sitting or lying on the ground everywhere.
"We are here. You all can rest now." Alton announced before vanishing.
