Chapter 548 Three Empires

"Of course, I do!" Ellie immediately nodded her head and then glanced at Max, wanting to ask if he could remove her curse too, but hesitated.

Her town has been suffering from the curse for generation upon generation, but they couldn't figure out a way to get rid of it. Just this was enough for her to tell how difficult it was to remove the curse. Max must have used some powerful spell or used some incredibly rare resources to remove her mother's curse.

'Mm? But would he do that for her? Is it because he felt guilty taking advantage of mom? Or did mom make some shady deal with?' She became suspicious.

Seeing Ellie's expression, Ella sighed. She could guess what her daughter was thinking. Therefore, she pulled her into her embrace and hugged her tightly. "Don't think too much. He didn't ask me for anything in exchange, but..."

Ella blushed, too embarrassed to say what she did, and Ellie had to do if she wanted him to remove her curse too.

Ellie hugged her mother back and waited for her to continue.

While Emily glanced at Ella, then Ellie, and then Max.

"What is it?" Max asked, noticing her strange gaze.

"Nothing." Emily shook her head and pointed at the two demons laying in front of the Elves. "Why don't you kill those two and we continue our journey?" She then glanced at Ella and Ellie. "They can talk while we fly."

Max glanced at the duo and, seeing they needed some time to talk, he nodded, "Alright."

Swoosh!

The thunder sword appeared in his hand. Clenching the hilt, he walked toward the demon duo.

Noticing him walking over, the two elves who were watching over them stepped back.

The demons had their eyes closed, but they weren't unconscious. So, when they felt the elves retreat and another presence arrive before them, they opened their eyes and saw Max raising his sword. New novel chapters are published on

"Please, wait! Don't—" Their eyes widening in horror, they hurriedly opened their mouth and tried to beg for their lives. Unfortunately for them...

Slash!

Max ignored them. With a swift slash, he separated their necks from their bodies.

[...You've gained 3000 Kill Points.]

The woman hesitated before saying, "...Just a few weaker demons." "Hm? How?" the man asked, frowning.

"Our information was wrong. We were told that there were just a hundred demons with a king ranked demon leading them. However, the survivors told me there weren't just hundred but several hundred and three king demons." The woman reported.

Hearing this, murmurs broke out in the hall. Everyone started speculating why this happened and some even said that their scouts may have betrayed them.

The middle-aged sighed and raised his hand. "Please be silent, everyone. Let's not speculate wildly. Elder Helen, please continue."

The woman nodded, a grave expression appearing on her face. "Just a while ago, our scouts reported that the number of demons in all three empires has skyrocketed. Our scouts captured a few demons and found out that their leaders have officially declared war against us."

"..."

Everyone went silent upon hearing this.

The youngest Grand Elder in the right main seat glanced at everyone and noticed everyone had heavy expressions on their faces, except for a man at the end of the right row. She nodded slightly in his direction before clicking her tongue in annoyance.

"Tsk! How cowardly! If they have declared war on us, we should prepare to fight back instead of wearing those fearful expressions. I'm really disappointed in you all." She then glanced at the man who showed no fear on his face and smiled, "My nephew Schwartz is the youngest of all Elders but unlike you all, he isn't afraid. I would suggest that you take some lessons on courage from him. It'll do you good."

Yes, this man was Schwartz, one of the participants of the Crimson monarch's trial, along with Max. After he got the [Hellfire Emperor Art] from the Crimson Monarch, his strength grew rapidly. Within three months, he broke through from high-stage five-star to early-stage six-star realm—the king realm and shocked everyone.

When everyone was wondering about the reason behind his sudden growth, he revealed his secret and told everyone about the Crimson monarch's trial and the reason behind his sudden growth—the [Hellfire Emperor Art]. Yes, he hadn't told his family about it right after he returned because he knew if he did, he would have to submit the Art scroll to the family and despite his contribution, he won't get the chance to learn the art for a few months if not years because the high-ranking Elders would want to learn it first.

Of course, while he contributed hugely to the family by obtaining their ancestor's famed art, him not telling the family about it for three months dissatisfied many. But no one dared to say anything about it because his aunt was one of the three Grand Elders and also because he didn't really commit any crime.

Hearing the compliment from his aunt, Schwartz smiled and then grinned at his fellow Elders, "If any of you decide to follow the Grand Elder's advice and want some lessons from me, remember to bring some good quality wine for me as payment. Otherwise, don't waste my time. I don't have much free time."

"..."

Everyone was speechless. Even the three Grand Elders shook their heads and smile wryly.

Seeing the mood had lightened up, Helen glanced at Schwartz with a lovely smile on her face. She then turned to the three Grand Elders and said, "Grand Elders, I have something else to report."

"Yeah, go on." The Grand Elders nodded.

"The Royal family has sent a messenger. He is waiting outside."

As soon as the Royal family was mentioned, everyone's gaze sharpened.

A moment later, the old lady nodded. "Bring him in. Let's hear what they want to say."
