Chapter 705  Overlord

Swoosh!

Right as her expression changed, Max's bloodline energy and mana flared, activating the Phoenix Wings, and he disappeared from beside her and rushed into her group fighting the demons.

Every Five Star mage had horrified expressions on their faces as they hurried to turn around to escape, but knowing they wouldn't be able to move far away enough in time, their hearts were filled with despair.

Then they noticed Max rush into their group, toward the demons who were about to detonate their demon cores.

'This greedy fool…' They sneered in their hearts, thinking since Max was just a Four Star mage, he hadn't sensed what the demons were about to do. To them, he had just taken advantage of their companion's distraction to rush over to steal a few kills. So, they felt no pity for him.

However, the next moment, their eyes widened when…

Shing! Shing! Shing!

His sword flashed, and the heads of three demons, one peak Five Star and two high-stage Five Star, flew into the air while their bodies and demonic energy rapidly disintegrated, stopping the core detonation.

While they were stunned, Max flashed around and killed the remaining ten or so lower-realm demons.

Swoosh!

When he stopped, he took several deep breaths while wincing in the pain caused by the sudden and unprepared use of Death Energy just now. Not only that, but because he had pushed his body to its limits, some of his muscle fibers had snapped, and his skin had turned red, which was now turning normal.

After circulating some of the Nascent Energy to heal the torn muscles and slightly damaged mana veins, he exhaled a deep breath and stood to his full height while storing the Thunder Sword away.

Then he turned to look at the woman who had stopped him and grinned, "Aren't you happy I didn't immediately leave when you told me to?"

The woman dumbly nodded while the other Five Star mages in the group looked at him with disbelieving expressions on their faces. As for the peak Three Star and Four Star mages, they stared at him, then at half disintegrated corpses, and finally at their stunned leaders, trying to understand what had just happened. When they did, their expressions also changed.

Then suddenly, someone shouted, "You… You are the Kingslayer?!"

Immediately, everyone's eyes lit up.

Max turned to the one who spoke—a peak Three Star female mage—and asked, "Do I look like them?"

"You... I—I haven't seen them." The woman shrank her neck, stuttering. "I just thought since you can kill higher rank demons so easily, you might be…"

Max raised his brow. "You can see my cultivation?"

"Huh? Yeah. Thanks to this." She showed him the necklace she wore. "I—I just bought it from the war temple. It helps me discern people's rough cultivation."

"I understand." Max nodded before turning toward the middle-aged woman, "Can you help me take out their demon cores?"

Saying this, he didn't wait for her to respond and took out his communication crystal before sending Martha a message: [Are you guys also fighting the demons?]

There was no answer for a few moments, which worried him. 'Maybe I should just go there. It would be a problem if their opponent demons also tried to detonate their cores.'

Just when he thought he heard a voice, "Here, sir."

The woman had already dug out the demon cores for him. Storing them away, he nodded at her and was about to take off when his communication crystal buzzed.

After checking the message, he relaxed.

They were not fighting because the nearest demon group was a little far from them, and others had already claimed it before they could reach. So, they just returned to their formation house and resumed their cultivation.

By now, the Five Star mages had regained their senses. They came over and gratefully bowed to him, though a bit awkwardly, "Thank you for saving our lives, Sir…"

"You can call me, hm, let's see…" He thought for a moment before his lips curled up slightly as he said, "Overlord. You can call me Overlord."

BOOM!

As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt an explosion go off in his mind and blanked out before immediately regaining his senses.

"Hey, Overlord, Are you alright?" The middle-aged woman asked, looking at him strangely.

"Yeah, of course. I'm alright." Max nodded, which made everyone around him look at him weirdly.

"What—" Just as he was about to ask, he realized why they were looking at him like that.

Ba-Dum! Ba-Dum! Ba-Dum!

His heart was beating so loudly that he could hear it, and he knew they could too. His face had gone pale, and he appeared to be swaying slightly on his feet. and goosebumps covered his entire body. Moreover, he was slightly swaying on his feet.

He could tell the reason for all these changes and the slight dissonance between his body and mind, which caused him to realize all this later than usual, was his bloodline, even though it seemed completely calm right now.

'Just what happened?' He furrowed his brows. 'Was it because I used the bloodline's name?'

Seeing him frowning and deep in thought, everyone kept quiet. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Max thought and thought but couldn't think of the reason why it may have happened because, apart from the abrupt changes that had vanished in just these few moments, there was no change, either in his body, mind, or bloodline, that could give him any clue. So, he just stopped thinking.

However, unbeknownst to him and almost everyone else in the entire world, which naturally included the world outside the forsaken land, several beings who stood at the top of the food chain, having reached the Supreme Mage realm, suddenly felt uneasy right at the moment Max announced his name—Overlord.

Between the human and demon continents, there lay a forbidden region, where even the Monarchs didn't dare venture into.

In its depths was a dark abyss. And at the bottom of the abyss, on a floating island chained down by thick chains and formations so complex that even the best formation masters would feel lightheaded upon taking a look at them, were vast and ancient ruins of tall and imposing structures.

Within such a structure, a being whose appearance couldn't be seen due to the all-consuming darkness opened its eyes that were more black than the darkness around.

"A new sovereign?" A low, ethereal but a goosebumps inducing voice spoke, "No. It's not a sovereign, but something even more... troublesome."

"But… everything will prove useless when we descend."
