Swoosh!
As soon as she said this, she flew away, not even bothering to ask for their opinions.
Armand, Jonas, Elder Bajj, and other Five Star mages from the three families didn't hesitate to follow her.
Unlike them, however, the surviving Three and Four Star mages were a little hesitant because even when they were fighting away from the center of the battlefield, several of their companions were still dying. If they entered the center of the battlefield, even with Max there, the danger would be a lot higher, and most of them might die.
However, seeing how all their Five Star mages had already left, they had no choice but to clench their jaws and follow them.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Seeing over thirty Five Star mages and over five hundred Three and Four Star mages appear around Max, the demons entertaining the thought of attacking him dropped the idea and started fighting other human mages.
"See, you all were scared uselessly. They don't even dare to attack us with Sir Max present." Devon laughed before flopping down on the ground. "Take this chance to rest and recover. Who knows if we will get another chance like this?
As soon as he said this, several angry gazes landed on him. In response, Devon smiled wryly and muttered under his breath, "Tsk! These nobles are really weak-willed. I would be surprised if even one-tenth are alive by the time this battle ends."
Slap!Just then, a slap landed on the back of his head, and Heena scolded him, "Can't you keep your mouth shut?!"
Devon grinned and looked up at the people around him who supported ugly expressions on their faces. "Heh, I apologize for speaking my mind, oh fearless noble lords."
Slap!
Heena slapped him again, exasperated. 'You will get us killed for sure.'
While the Three and Four Star mages fumed in anger, the Five Star mages couldn't help but shake their heads. While they knew these people needed to hear this, they were surprised to realize they needed to hear the same too because just like them, they were also scared.
Jonas glanced at them, smiled, and spoke through the divine sense, [It's normal to feel scared. Even I am feeling scared deep down, and I am sure Sir Armand and even Princess Martha feel the same too.]
As he said this, Armand and Martha nodded their heads, agreeing with him.
He then continued, [Everyone feels scared when put in a dangerous situation. Even those kings, emperors, and higher realm beings feel it too. They just don't let their fear overwhelm them and instead use it to fuel their determination and temper their hearts. You can do the same too.]
Hearing his words, the Five Star mages nodded and looked at him gratefully. Then one of them spoke to the Three and Four Star mages, [You should be grateful to him instead of looking at him with such anger because he is trying to help you realize your shortcomings that might help you survive this ordeal and come out of it stronger…]
After he finished speaking, the Three and Four Star mages nodded at Devon even though many of them didn't feel like doing it.
They then sat down and started resting and recovering.
…
On the other hand, Max was focused on condensing the Death Energy. The more he condensed it, the harder it became. But he had to condense it even more if he wanted to turn it into a Death Energy Stone like the mana stone, let alone a Death Energy Crystal, which he had already realized was impossible for him to make, at least not without increasing his affinity with the Death Energy a lot more and gaining a better control over it.
'No wonder I haven't heard of anyone making mana stones. It's just too difficult.' He thought. He felt even those with superior mana control might have a hard time condensing their mana into mana stones. As for those who had reached the Law Stage, they might have an easier time doing it, but why would they waste their time creating mana stones? He wouldn't be attempting this either if not for his unique situation.
Soon, half an hour passed, and he could feel he was about to condense the portion of Death Energy into a finger-sized stone.
Just then, however, he heard Leo's voice, "I've found him, Overlord."
He wanted to ignore him and continue, but suddenly that urge flared again, making him frown and stop.
When he opened his eyes, Leo was flying over with old man Juan with an apologetic look on his face.
Swoosh!
Tap!
After he landed in front of him, he said, "I'm sorry, Overlord. I didn't notice you were cultivating."
Max shook his head and ordered, "Take me where he is."
"Yes, Overlord." Leo sighed in relief seeing he wasn't angry and offered him his hand. Max looked at his outstretched hand and frowned.
"If we fly, we'll reach there sooner." Leo smiled sheepishly.
"Okay." Max nodded and grabbed his hand. Before they flew away, he nodded at Martha and others, "I'll be back soon. Be alert. The demons will probably attack you guys."
The expressions of everyone fell when they heard this, and few voices of protest sounded.
"Where are you going, Sir Max?"
"We can all go together…"
"Silence!" Martha shouted, silencing the crowd before nodding at Max, "Just return as soon as you can."
Max nodded, and Leo flew into the sky with him.
Swoosh!
Just as Max had said, as soon as Max and Leo disappeared in the distance, the several groups of demons rushed toward them.
Seeing this, Martha's gaze turned chilly. "You think we are helpless without him, huh?"
She withdrew her sword, circulated her mana, and released her aura and gradually turned into an aura field. She didn't stop there and proceeded to activate her bloodline.
Shua~ Shua~ Shua~
Eight two-inch-long and wide leaves materialized around her, spinning gently but radiating a very powerful, and sharp aura.
This was the first time she was using her bloodline since she entered the battlefield. When Armand, Jonas, and their companions saw this, their eyes flashed with excitement before they also entered into their battle states.
