Chapter 1759: Max Makes His Move!
Seraphine’s gaze sharpened.
"Then let me prove you wrong."
The radiant path behind her trembled, and countless spears of light began forming above the battlefield. At the same time, Fin’s Pale Eclipse Path spread outward, dimming the space around Caroline and making her figure appear isolated beneath the falling judgment.
The two Pseudo Cosmic Paths pressed down at once, one suppressing her from above and the other sealing her escape routes through distorted light and shadow.
Caroline lifted her sword with both hands.
Golden light erupted from her bloodline again, but anyone could see that she was nearly at her limit. She had already been fighting for too long. Her aura was unstable, her injuries were worsening, and against Seraphine and Fin together, even her Heavenly Luminance Royal Bloodline could not hold forever.
Jessica’s eyes turned red with urgency. "Max, that is Caroline."
Max did not answer.
He was staring at the woman in the center of the battlefield.
Caroline.
His mother’s younger sister.
His aunt.
Someone who had been hunted, imprisoned, and tortured because of her connection to Caelira.
The golden light in Max’s eyes slowly brightened, and the temperature around him seemed to drop despite the divine radiance beginning to rise from his body.
Nancy felt the change in him and took a silent step back.
On the battlefield, Seraphine’s hand descended.
"Radiant Judgment, Thousand Spears of Exile."
Thousands of radiant spears fell toward Caroline.
Fin’s figure vanished at the same time, reappearing behind her with his sword aimed at the wound in her side.
Caroline raised her sword, ready to endure it all.
But before the attacks could land, space rippled.
Max appeared in front of her.
He did not speak.
He simply raised one hand.
A brilliant golden barrier formed before him, carrying the aura of the Heavenly Luminance Divine Bloodline, and the moment the thousand radiant spears struck it, they shattered one after another like weak glass touching an unbreakable sun. At the same time, Max turned his head slightly and looked toward the empty space behind Caroline, where Fin’s blade was about to emerge.
His other hand moved.
Dragonheart flashed.
Fin’s sword strike was forced back before it could touch Caroline.
For the first time, Seraphine’s cold expression changed.
Fin also stopped moving.
Caroline stared at the figure standing before her, her exhausted eyes filled with shock.
Max did not look back yet.
His gaze remained fixed on Seraphine and Fin.
"You two," he said calmly, but his voice carried a coldness that made the entire battlefield silent, "needs to die."
"And who are you, human?" Seraphine asked with a solemn face, her eyes fixed on Max as the shattered remnants of her radiant spears faded above the battlefield. "Why are you interfering in a fight between elves?"
Unlike Lumine, Seraphine did not immediately lose her composure, but the seriousness in her gaze deepened. The golden barrier Max had raised just now had not merely blocked her attack. It had shattered the Thousand Spears of Exile with ease, and even more importantly, the aura released from that barrier felt strangely familiar to her.
It was light. It was pure. It was connected to the Heavenly Luminance bloodline, but it was not the same as Caroline’s. It was denser, higher, and far more oppressive, which made Seraphine’s heart sink with a faint unease she could not immediately explain.
Fin, however, was different.
He appeared beside Seraphine again, his pale cloak fluttering slightly in the mist, and instead of looking cautious, he laughed with open arrogance. His eyes swept over Max like he was looking at another prey that had conveniently delivered itself to them.
"Haha, who cares, Seraphine?" Fin said. "Let us kill him too. That way we will get more points. We cannot let the Divine Son and Divine Daughter take all the fun, can we?"
The moment the words Divine Son and Divine Daughter were spoken, Caroline’s expression changed slightly, but Max only glanced at Fin with calm eyes.
Caroline, who was standing behind Max, finally recovered from her shock. Her breathing was still uneven, and the wound at her side had not fully closed, but when she saw a human standing between her and Seraphine and Fin, her first reaction was not relief. It was alarm.
"You should not have interfered," Caroline said, her voice weak but firm.
Max turned his head slightly.
Caroline looked at him with a serious expression, and despite her injuries, there was still the bearing of someone who had once stood among the core of the third faction. "I do not know who you are, and I thank you for blocking that attack, but you need to leave. These two are not ordinary elves. Seraphine and Fin are among the strongest geniuses of the second faction. Both of them have mastered Pseudo Cosmic Paths, and both of them are peak Law Manifestation Realm experts."
Her eyes moved briefly toward Seraphine’s Radiant Judgment Path and Fin’s Pale Eclipse Path, then returned to Max.
"If you stay here, you will die."
Jessica, who had arrived at the edge of the battlefield with Nancy, clenched her fists when she heard those words. She wanted to explain who Max was, but the atmosphere was too tense, and for a moment, she could not find the right time to speak.
Nancy also remained silent, but there was no worry in her eyes. She had already seen enough of Max’s strength to know that Caroline’s warning, while sincere, was based on a misunderstanding.
Max looked at Caroline for a moment.
There was blood on her battle dress, exhaustion in her eyes, and stubbornness in the way she still tried to stand straight even after being pushed to the edge by two powerful enemies. She did not know him.
She did not know he was Caelira’s son. She did not know that the human she was warning was not someone who had stumbled into this battle by accident, but someone who had crossed half of Witch God Valley to find her.
For some reason, that made Max’s gaze soften slightly.
Then he smiled.
"Do not worry," he said. "I will take care of them."
Caroline froze.
The words were spoken so casually that for a moment, she almost thought she had heard wrong.
Take care of them?
Seraphine and Fin?
Two of the second faction’s strongest young experts, both Pseudo Cosmic Path users, both peak Law Manifestation Realm geniuses, and both specifically sent to capture her?
Even when she had been at her full strength, Caroline could only barely resist them by using every advantage of her Heavenly Luminance Royal Bloodline. She had been forced into a desperate battle, suppressed from above by the Radiant Judgment
Path and hunted from the shadows by the Pale Eclipse Path. Yet this human was smiling as if he had merely been asked to remove two stones from the road.
