Chapter 663 Taking Charge
Chapter 663 Taking Charge
"I can't help you personally because of the rules, if that's what you are thinking." Wyomin said, clearing his confusion.
"Then?" Max asked, causing Wyomin to frown. "Can you please not interrupt me and listen?"
"I can do that." Max nodded, thinking both of them had the same personalities.
"Although I can't personally help you, what I can do is..." She slowly explained her plan to increase his chances of survival.
After a while, she disappeared from the place, appearing back in the sky.
Alton glanced at her from the distance with a questioning gaze, but Wyomin didn't bother to explain herself, making him frown.
But after thinking for a moment, he sighed and shook his head.
Swoosh!
As the bloodline barrier disappeared, Max, Lily, and Sera appeared in Pauline and Fullers' view, who were waiting for them.
Pauline looked the trio up and down before asking suspiciously, "What were you doing in there?"
Normally, Sera and even Lily would've felt embarrassed by such a question, but right now, both of their moods were sombre, so they just shook their heads.
"Nothing."
After saying this, they walked over to the Ice Dome, "We'll check up on sister Emily."
"What's up with them? Why do they look so serious? Did you guys fight?" Pauline asked him, watching the duo leave.
"No, they are fine. Don't worry." Max smiled, "Did you want anything?"
Pauline's expression turned serious when she heard this. Then, she took out a spatial ring and gave it to him.
"All the demon cores are in there." After he took the ring and checked the cores, she and the rest of the Fullers', even the almost half-dead elder Bajj, bowed deeply toward him.
"Thank you so much for helping us. If not for you, none of us might have survived. Thank you!"
Seeing this, Max realized Pauline had most likely told them he wasn't one of the Fullers.
Taking a deep breath, he removed his mask, revealing his appearance.
The moment he revealed his bloodline energy without a care when fighting against O'mara, the mask was rendered useless.
And being targeted by the demon Emperors and meeting Wyomin, he was no longer worried about the three noble families and the royal family.
"So, you were Sir Max all along." Elder Bajj tried to smile, only to wince in pain.
"Yes." Max nodded. "You all should know the reason why I had to hide my identity."
"Yes, sir Max. We know, and we don't mind." An early-stage Three Star mage voiced.
"Good. You all, please stand up. No need to thank me like this. Although I'm not a Fuller, we can be considered companions since we registered and left the city together. So, I only helped my companions; no need to think too much about it."
Max said, causing them to stop bowing and smile gratefully.
"With that said, I wonder if you are willing to follow my orders until we reach... no, until the War Temple is established." He asked, sweeping his gaze across everyone.
If he had asked this before the fight just now, they would surely not have agreed, but now they had no objections. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Still, they looked at elder Bajj and Pauline, the people who could make this decision.
Elder Bajj glanced at Pauline and said, "Young Miss, we'll do as you say."
"Hmph! Ungrateful people!" Pauline snorted, causing everyone to smile wryly.
She then looked at Max and straightforwardly agreed, "We'll follow your orders."
"Good." Max was satisfied by their attitudes and said, "Rest and heal yourselves. Also… bury your friends. I'm sorry I couldn't save them."
Saying this, he gave an apologetic bow. Everyone's expression turned solemn and sad.
After staying silent for a while, he walked over to elder Bajj and injected some of his bloodline energy into his body.
Although it could not be compared to Nascent Energy's healing effects, it was still very good compared to normal grade four healing pills. Moreover, it could enhance a person's natural healing and the healing pills' potency, significantly shortening the distance between the two.
Elder Bajj was first confused, thinking why he was grabbing his shoulder despite seeing it was injured, but when he felt Max's bloodline energy enter him, the demonic energy in his body disappeared and his wounds started healing faster.
"How marvelous!" Elder Bajj muttered in shock and amazement. Since the demonic energy belonged to the demons in the same realm as him, he could suppress it significantly and slowly expel it, but it would take a lot of time, especially because it had seeped deeply into his blood and organs.
He had thought he would only be able to completely get rid of it after the War Temple was set up.
Apart from being a sort of stronghold and exchange hub, the War Temple had another ability that contributed as much as anything else in the wars against the demons—its passive ability to expel the demonic energy.
If anyone who was infected with the demon energy stayed within the War Temple for a short while, the War Temple's unique force would expel it and aid in healing.
If Aria, the King Elf, Rima's master, hadn't met Max, she would have had no choice but to use the War Temples to get rid of the demonic energy corrupting her.
It had to be mentioned her case was more severe than Elder Bajj or Leo because the demonic energy corrupting her was the result of a peak Five Star demon's self-detonation of the demon core.
"Use your healing medicine now." Max said, removing his hand. He then went ahead and helped the rest of the Fullers, removing the demonic energy and leaving some of his bloodline energy in their bodies to expedite the healing process.
When he was done and was about to head to the Ice Dome, Pauline approached him, a stern look on her face, "Aren't you forgetting something?"
"What?" Max raised his brows.
Pauline's face darkened. "Me. You helped everyone but left me? Do you have no shame? Leaving a gentle lady like—"
Not wanting to hear her rant, he quickly patted her shoulder, removing the demonic energy and leaving the last bit of his bloodline energy.
"All good now?" He asked,
"Yeah. I'll forgive you this time, but don't make such a mistake again." Pauline nodded in satisfaction.
