Chapter 655 Devil Blood
Chapter 655 Devil Blood
The demon was enraged upon being interrupted. After giving the still-burning corpse a reluctant look, he turned his gaze over to Max, his expression dark. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"If you want to die so much, I'll fulfill your wish." He growled as his aura and demonic energy flared before he vanished and appeared in front of Max, who was charging toward him.
Max's wings flapped, and he vanished, appearing in some distance.
"You think you can run?"
The demon sneered before his figure was enveloped in a cloud of demonic energy.
Swoosh!
The cloud flew toward Max at breakneck speed.
Swoosh!
Max again flapped his wings and disappeared, but this time he wasn't able to throw him off as the dark cloud had closely followed him.
Noticing this, Max brows knit together in frustration.
Although he had killed several Five Star horned demons two hours ago and O'mara just now, if they had used their flying ability to escape, he might not have been able to achieve that.
Fortunately, the horned demons didn't try to flee since they had come to fight and die, while O'mara was blinded by his greed and the overconfidence in his strength.
This demon, however, was not only utilizing his flying ability; he was also using his strange movement technique to boost his speed, almost rendering Max's bloodline energy-powered Phoenix Wings useless.
Since he couldn't escape from him, nor he wanted to have a direct fight, the only thing he could do was to divert his attention.
So, he gathered his fire elemental mana with some bloodline energy mixed to boost its destructive power and cast the Fire Arrows at O'mara's corpse.
"How dare you!"
Just as he wanted, the short demon shouted in anger even as the dark cloud stopped chasing Max and flew toward O'mara's corpse, a wave of demonic energy destroying the Fire Arrows.
After destroying them, the dark cloud vanished, and the demon appeared, standing in front of O'Mara's corpse, staring daggers at him.
Although he knew Max had an extraordinary bloodline, which was sure to give his strength a considerable boost, O'mara's blood wasn't any less valuable since O'mara was a Peak Five Star demon and had their lineage's Vampiric Lizard bloodline as pure as his.
After thinking for a moment, he sighed and waved his hand. "I won't kill you. Leave!" Max's gaze flickered. For a split second, he considered leaving since those who came to help would kill him and claim the merits, but after thinking for a moment, he stayed.
Since Wyomin asked him to keep him occupied, he was sure he would receive some sort of reward, but it wasn't why he decided against leaving.
The reason he stayed was that he didn't want to offend her and also wanted to leave a good impression on her, hoping she would consider this and would not try to capture him for his bloodline and Death Energy, which he was sure both Alton and her had noticed him using.
Seeing Max not move, the demon's expression turned gloomy.
"Die then!" Shouting in rage, he took out a glob of black blood and threw it at him.
Swoosh!
Max wanted to dodge when he saw him take out the blood glob, but he had no time to react as it seemingly teleported directly in front of his chest and was absorbed into his body.
Immediately, he felt all strength leave his body, and he became disoriented.
Thud!
He didn't realize it, but the moment his glob of blood entered his body, he had lost all control over his body and fell down to the ground, violently twitching.
The short demon walked over and kicked him in the gut, sending him flying a few meters away.
He then spat on the ground, "Stupid human! Now, be a good scourge, and kill some humans for me."
Saying this, he turned around and walked over to O'mara's corpse.
After snuffing out the flickers of fire still burning on his body, he thrust his hand into his chest and started absorbing his blood essence and the root of his bloodline.
Meanwhile, Max's body had turned black, and putrid smog had started wafting off of his body.
The glob of blood that entered his body was also the Devil's blood, but of a different kind from Ashton's devil blood.
This blood came from a dreadful devil spoken of in legends—the Scourge Devil.
It was said to have the ability to turn everyone into scourge devils that had no reasoning ability and wanted nothing but destruction and chaos.
After confirming the devil blood had entered his heart, the demon was completely uncaring because no one below the Emperor realm could hope to resist its corrosion, and even those in the Emperor realm would be terrified if it entered their bodies.
…
In the sky, Wyomin's face fell when she saw the demon take out the devil blood and wanted to warn him, but before she could, a red-skinned, female scaled demon appeared in front of her, seemingly materializing from the thin air.
"It's best you don't break the rules, Missy. Otherwise, I won't mind massacring these lambs." She said with a chuckle.
Wyomin wasn't surprised by her sudden appearance, as she had already noticed her and the other Emperor demon keeping watch over Alton.
She raised her brows. "Since when is talking against the rules? Didn't you also tell that demon to use the devil's blood?"
"Hehe, of course I did." The demoness chuckled, moving toward her until there was less than half a foot of distance between their faces.
Staring into her eyes, she continued, "But I did that only after you spoke to that little lamb."
Wyomin stared back, no trace of fear in her eyes.
A moment later, she sighed. Immediately after that, the devil blood entered Max's body, causing her to sigh again.
The demoness also sighed, one of relief.
Just like Wyomin and Alton, she and her companion had also noticed Max's bloodline energy and also the Death Energy, which had made them feel a hint of fear.
At that moment, they had decided to kill Max. After the short demons couldn't kill him and seeing his reinforcements were coming, she had directly ordered the demon to use the devil blood on him.
'It was worth it.' She thought, but the next moment, her eyes widened in shock before a dense murderous intent filled her eyes.
