Chapter 674 Two Tribes
Seeing him vanish, Lily, Emily, and Sera hurriedly looked back. Only when they saw Wyomin was still there did they sigh in relief.
Emily wanted to shout, attract her attention, and ask how Max was, but she hesitated, seeing she had her spells active and her eyes closed in concentration.
Just then, she felt a gentle and comforting tap on her shoulder, which made her look to her side at Lily, who forced a calm look on her face and said, “Don’t worry, sister Emily. Young master will be alright.”
Emily took a deep breath to calm her agitated heart. By now, she had come to realize why she became so agitated when it came to Max. She had identified three reasons.
First, her concern for his well-being as his elder sister.
Second were the feelings she had unknowingly developed for him that she tried her best to deny and forget but was unable to; especially when she saw him act all lovey-dovey with Lily and others.
If it were these two, she would have no trouble keeping her calm front like she was used to, but the third did not let her.
She could feel something within her was gradually awakening, and it was amplifying her emotions. She knew what this something was.
It was the elusive bloodline her father had told her about years ago. It was the bloodline their ancestors had longed to awaken even in their dreams but failed for centuries.
In fact, there was no record of any of their ancestors successfully awakening it.
She remembered Ashton chuckling dryly and ruffling her hair when he saw her getting excited after hearing how amazing it was supposed to be.
‘Haha, don’t get too excited, kiddo. These are probably just some stories our ancestors passed down to us. If we had such a bloodline, at least one of our ancestors would have surely awoken it. Moreover, our potential wouldn’t be this limited, not allowing us to break past the Four Star realm.’
After a few years of trying to sense its presence in her blood without any success, she had dismissed it as a rumor. Anna, Mark, and others had also done the same.
However, now it was suddenly awakening within her.
If Max’s condition wasn’t so severe right now and they were safe, she would’ve felt excited, but right now, she couldn’t bring herself to feel anything apart from the annoyance.
“Look, she is finished.” Pauline’s voice jolted her out of her thoughts, and she looked at Wyomin, who had stopped casting her spells and had opened her eyes.
Swoosh!
Wyomin slowly flew over to them and waved her hand, causing the water bubble containing Max to fly in front of them.
Pop!
Then it popped. Swoosh!
Before unconscious Max could fall down, Emily moved and grabbed him, holding him in her arms.
When she looked at him, tears started flowing down her eyes because he looked absolutely miserable with black, corroded wounds all over his body, and his eyes were snapped shut tightly.
Lily and Sera couldn’t hold back their emotions either, and tears poured out of their eyes too.
Wyomin watched them for a moment before softly saying, “There is no need to cry. He is fine now and should wake up soon.”
Her words made the trio smile in relief, but their tears continued to fall still. They looked so tender and weak right now that everyone who saw them felt sad for them, and their protective feelings were ignited.
After a few moments, they calmed down, wiped their tears, and gave Wyomin a deep bow. “Thank you very much, Lady Wyomin. We won’t forget your help.”
Wyomin nodded before her figure blurred and she vanished. But her voice still echoed in their heads.
[The demons won’t attack in a large number for a few hours. So, get a good rest. I hope you all won’t die.]
The trio exchanged looks before glancing at Pauline and others. Upon seeing their expressions, they realized she had only spoken to three of them.
“She is a good person.” Sera said, a little surprised by the care she showed them. Though she knew it was mostly because of Max.
Lily and Emily nodded in agreement.
After a while, they found an even ground and pitched a tent there to let Max rest there.
This, however, attracted many disdainful gazes.
“Tsk! Do they think they are here for a picnic?” A middle-aged lady, who had lost her left hand, clicked her tongue in irritation.
“Hehe, don’t be so grumpy, old hag… I mean Heena. Let them do what they wish.” A rough-looking man sitting near her chuckled before looking at her up and down. “I say, we don’t know if we will survive the next wave or not. So, let’s–”
Bam!
Before he could finish, a palm-sized rock smashed into his face: “Shut up, you disgusting creep.”
“Arggh! That fucking hurt.” The man cried before gingerly touching his nose. He then sighed, “Thank god, it’s not broken.”
“Too bad. I should’ve used more strength.” The lady snorted.
“Tch! You really are cold-hearted, woman. You don’t care about your husband at all.” The man grumbled.
Everyone in the vicinity watched their bickering with amusement.
…
Sera had also watched them, and she couldn’t help but mutter in surprise, “He is her husband? I thought he was just some random guy teasing her.”
Pauline patted her head and chuckled as if remembering something: “Don’t be too surprised. There are all kinds of couples. Everyone shows their love and care differently.”
Sera gave her a strange look before nodding, “It seems so.”
Pauline’s lips twitched when she noticed her look and sighed in her heart, ‘Ha, father, it seems, unlike what you like to believe, everyone already knows about you being a scaredy cat.’
…
The demon army was stationed just ten miles away from the battlefield. Unlike humans’ desolate stronghold, this area had become a fortified city, bustling with activity.
Several demons could be seen leisurely walking around, talking to each other, buying or selling the things they got after killing humans.
In the central building, the leaders of two tribes in charge of conquering the Green Leaf Kingdom—the horned and scarlet demons—were gathered.
Bang!
“This is unacceptable!”
