One of the two demons, who always stayed with her, looked at her and then at the rest of the demons and frowned when he saw them getting restless and complaining why they were hiding there instead on going out to help Nix and others.
"Miss Yin, these guys are getting restless. We can't stop them here any longer."
"Mm?" Miss Yin raised her brows and peeled her eyes off the ongoing battle to look back, and noticed the demons had dissatisfied expression and some seemed even seemed angry.
"Miss Yin, I know you and the young master have some enmity, but you shouldn't act against him when we are in the middle of enemy territory. That's unacceptable."
One of the angry-looking demons spoke in a heavy voice when he saw her looking at them.
"What are you saying? I'm merely letting him fight to his heart's content and not planning to act to against him. Don't put such heavy accusations on me."
Miss Yin said, sounding hurt, but the demon noticed a murderous gleam flashing past her eyes when she looked at him, and this made him break out in a cold sweat.
He hurriedly put on a smile on his face and nodded, "Oh, so that was the case. Please forgive me, miss Yin for not thinking clearly."
"It's alright. Just be mindful of the things you speak from now on." She nodded, her gaze darting around the rest of the demons, who quickly lowered their heads. They knew she was ready to act against Nix and wouldn't mind killing them too if they proved to be a nuisance.
The demon nodded, "Yes, miss Yin." And stepped back, sighing in relief but still on full alert.
…
Whoosh!
Clang!
Bang!
As they continued to clash, Nix's expression gradually turned solemn. Although he still had the upper hand, and was suppressing Max, he hadn't been able to land a direct hit.
'Besides, this sword is truly remarkable. Although it isn't activated, it can still cut into the layer of demon energy over my fists. If I wasn't repairing it constantly, my fists might have been slashed into pieces by now.' Nix thought, his eyes flashing with a hint of greed as he looked at the thunder sword.
Whoosh!
Clang!
They once again vanished, and collided yet again, the resulting shockwaves becoming increasingly violent, and destroying the ground underneath.
Just like Nix, Max's expression was turning solemn by the second.
The extended use of [Pheonix Wings] had consumed more than a quarter of his mana in these short few moments.
However, the thing that bothered him the most wasn't his rapid consumption of mana, but the real disparity between their strengths.
Right now, he was using his strengthened aura sphere to pressure Nix, his fastest speed, his mana enhanced strength, and not to mention the thunder sword, but he was still having difficulty contending against him.
'Although the overlord bloodline increased my overall strength and the thunder sword is a very deadly weapon even if I can't activate it, in the end… I'm just a high-stage three-star mage.' Max sighed.
Boom!
After another clash, Nix's eyes flashed, and he retreated. Max frowned and chased after him, but Nix continued to retreat, not going too far away but remaining out of his aura sphere.
He had a playful smirk on his face as he said, "Don't tell me, human, you planned to make me waste my energy and then kill me, because if you did, I would be very disappointed."
Max didn't reply and just continued to pursue him, wanting to engage in battle again, but couldn't because Nix wasn't any slower than him. So, he stopped, but didn't dispel his fire wings.
Whoosh!
Nix also stopped and grinned, "What? Getting tired so soon? Also, why don't you deactivate those hateful wings since you aren't chasing me anymore? You'll only waste your mana. HAHAHA!"
Max had no expression on his face as he watched him laugh madly.
Step!
After he stopped laughing, Max took a step forward, making Nix frown because it was just a normal step. He then heard Max speak.
"I know you are doing this just to make me anxious and isn't your plan to deal with me. So, you must have some other trump card, right? Let's not waste any more time. Go ahead, use it."
Step!
Saying this, he took another step in his direction.
"Hm?" When he heard this and saw how calm Max seemed despite having no way to deal with him, Nix's eyes flashed and he suddenly had an uneasy feeling.
"What are you planning?" He couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Max's lips curled up, and he mockingly asked, "Why? You afraid?"
Emily and elves frowned, not understanding what Max was planning. Emily clenched her fists, her gaze not moving away from him.
Miss Yin, still hiding in the distance, also was perplexed and displeased. She never expected him to kill Nix, but wanted him to exhaust him so she could take advantage and kill him. But now that the fighting had stopped, she could feel things were going to derail.
The demon beside also frowned and said with much displeasure in his voice, "Is this human stupid? Why is he goading him? If Nix got serious and went all in, he will die."
"Maybe he really is planning something?" The other one said.
Hearing this, Miss Yin's eyes flashed. 'Could it be true? But he clearly gave his all fighting just now…'
…
Nix didn't move back this time, took a deep breath and nodded, a grim smile appearing on his face. "Although I don't know what you are up to, but I don't like your smugness. So, I'll have to agree with your request and… make you regret coming across me."
Boom!
As soon as he said this, his aura burst out along with some grayish energy that felt very evil but powerful.
"Hm?" Noticing this, Max frowned and stopped in his tracks.
"Is this your bloodline energy?" He asked.
"Keke… feeling afraid, now?" Nix chuckled darkly and took a slow step toward him, just like Max did a moment ago.
