Boom! Boom!

Both talismans exploded one after another.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The talismans' energy took shape of two extremely lethal wind blades which shot toward their target, their speed so fast that they appeared almost instantaneously in front of the two demons.

Ahhh!

The demon trying to capture Max a moment before didn't have his guard up at all, since Max was just a weak animal in his eyes. Therefore, he couldn't react at all before one of the wind blades cut through his waist, cleaving him into two parts.

Unfortunately, by the time second wind blade reached the demon in the back, he had reacted. He flapped his wings and took off high in the air, completely dodging the attack.

"You filthy lowlife, you dare?" He shouted in anger and prepared to attack.

'Tch, he dodged.' Max clicked his tongue in annoyance. He finally realised how difficult it was to take someone who excels at the speed by surprise.

But seeing that he took down one demon successfully, he nodded in satisfaction. Then, taking advantage of high increased speed thanks to the escaping talisman, he moved toward the female demon while deliberately showing the remaining talisman in his hand.

Heh…

The female demon scoffed in mockery and flew twenty meters higher in the sky. However, when she glanced down to see Max's helpless expression, her eyes narrowed because Max had disappeared.

Boom!

Just then, she heard another explosion from the side. When she looked in that direction, she saw her demon companion falling to the ground in two pieces.

"What? H-How?" She couldn't understand what had happened. Wasn't the punny human coming at her to attack? Then how come her companion died suddenly? From the circumstance of his death, it seemed he was also struck by the punny human's magic talisman.

Suddenly, she realised something and looked around. However, the punny human was nowhere to be seen.

"Are you looking for me?" Just then, she heard a voice from behind her and an expression of horror appeared on her pretty face.

Whoosh!

She didn't think about how he appeared behind her without alerting her, nor did she turn around to face him. Her first reaction was to fly away from her current spot at her top speed in order to dodge the attack she believed would come at her.

Indeed, before Max spoke, he had crushed another grade-grade offensive talisman.

Boom!

Another wind blade appeared as the talisman exploded and shot toward her. Unfortunately for Max, she managed to dodge it by a hair's distance.

Max's eyes widened in surprise. This female demon's reaction speed was a lot higher than the demon who dodged before.

"It seems I got overconfident." He smiled bitterly before he started falling downwards.

[Hehe kid. Although you only relied on the powerful talismans, I have to say I'm impressed.] System's laughing voice echoed in his mind.

Then it continued, [Even if you hadn't gotten overconfident and spoke, she still would've dodged the talisman attack. Be as soon as you crushed the offensive talisman, your stealth talisman had lost its effect.]

Thud!

Max fell to the ground, sending dust and debris flying around.

"Cough! Cough! What do you mean? The stealth talisman was supposed to work for 30 seconds and not even 10 seconds had passed?" Max coughed and asked.

The only reason he could kill the second demon who was preparing to attack him and then successfully snuck behind the female demon was because he had used two talismans one after another.

First, he used a grade three illusion talisman which created a scene of him running toward the female demon to attack her, completely ignoring the raging demon on the side.

Because the female demon thought little of him, she just flew higher. She wanted to let her companion, who was furious because the ant dared to attack him, kill him.

As for Max, as soon as he created the fake image of himself, he used a stealth talisman, snuck behind the demon who was preparing to attack his false image and unleased another offensive talisman which successfully killed him.

After killing him, he moved and snuck behind the female demon. However, the challenging part was to jump twenty meters high without making any sound.

After everything went according to the plan, he thought he could easily take her out too. This made him overconfident, and he laughed, which caused the female demon to react quickly enough to dodge the otherwise 'sure-kill' attack.

[When a stealth talisman is in effect and you use another talisman or cast a spell, the special stealth energy concealing you would be affected and quickly lose its effects. Therefore, after you used the talisman to kill the second demon, your stealth talisman had already lost more than half of its efficiency.] The system explained.

"Ahhhh! Puny human, I'm going to kill you." The female demon shrieked in fury.

Whoosh!

She then flapped her wings and vanished from her spot and appeared in front of Max. Before Max could react, she punched him in his gut.

Bang!

Puah!

Whoosh!

Max's eyes rolled upwards before he spurted out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backwards, crashing into and breaking the trees.

"Argh… cough! cough! That hurt like hell."

He cried out in pain, coughing out more blood.

[Watch out! She is coming!] The system warned.

Hearing this, he tried to move his battered body, but before he could; the demoness had arrived. Her eyes glowing a menacing red as she stretched her long leg backward and kicked him in the chest.

'Fuck!' Max cursed in his mind and hurriedly put his hands in front of his chest.

Crack! Bang!

Whoosh!

As soon as her leg touched his hands, his forearm bones cracked. Then her leg continued forward and strongly connected on his chest, breaking his ribs before he was sent flying once again.

Thud!

After Max crash landed this time, he felt faint and blood continued to gush out of his mouth, nose, and ears. His eyes had also turned bloody.

Whoosh!

The demoness once again caught up to him but this time, she didn't immediately attack and something in her language which Max didn't understand.

Max was furious right now. He had never beaten this badly by someone before. He really wanted to shred this demoness into pieces right now.

Unfortunately, his injuries were too serious and he couldn't even muster enough strength to move, let alone fight her. Although it wasn't like he could do anything to her, even if he was uninjured.

[Need help kid?] The system asked at this time.

"Y… yes." Max uttered weakly.
