Chapter 682 Divine Sense?
Chapter 682 Divine Sense?
Inside the tent, Max slowed his thrusts and raised his brows in frustration. \'Couldn\'t they have waited a little more, maybe an hour or two?\' He thought.
Haan~
Sera inhaled a full breath, something she wasn\'t able to do from the moment he started making love to her.
While she took this opportunity to calm down a little and manage the overwhelming pleasure coursing through her body, Max did something he had been thinking about ever since he unlocked his bloodline sense.
Concentrating his divine sense on Martha, he spoke in his mind, [Can you buy me some time while making sure Emily and the Fullers are safe?]
\'Huh? It worked.\' Max was pleasantly surprised by the fact that he succeeded on his first try.
Not wanting to show her the state of the tent, he had placed a sort of beacon outside the tent that she could use to communicate with him without being able to sneak a peek at them.
A moment later, he heard Martha\'s surprised voice. [You are Max? How can you use divine sense?! You are just—]
[Let\'s not waste time here asking pointless questions, shall we?] Max replied, cutting her off.
A split second later, he once again heard Martha\'s voice: [I\'m sure if I can buy you time or keep them safe since I don\'t know how strong they are. But I\'ll try my best.]
Hearing this, Max\'s frown deepened. Then, he glanced at the beauty on all fours, moaning in front of him, and said.
[Thanks. Inform me first thing if you think you can\'t manage.]
[Okay.]
Max knew he was taking a risk here, but he wasn\'t willing to stop in the middle even a single bit. Besides, the Nascent Energy he would get from Sera might prove invaluable in the fights ahead. After all, the War Temple would need more time to set up.
\'I wonder how long they will take to complete setting it up, and also, where is it? Underground?\'
Since he couldn\'t see it when he spread out his divine sense, nor did he notice anyone paying attention to any particular direction, it meant no one was able to see the Temple being established.
Since no one could see it but the emperors, who had left the capital earlier, had most definitely started working on it before they arrived, it was either underground or covered by some isolation formation.
But he felt the former was most likely true.
Shaking the useless thoughts out of his mind, he focused on his lady in front of him.
…
Outside, Martha was looking at the tent with a look of disbelief in her flickering green eyes.
Everyone near her—Emily, Pauline, Armand, and others—noticed her expression. Seeing she was staring at the tent, Emily furrowed her brows and asked, "What is it?"
"What could it be other than the fact your lover hasn\'t come out even after the battle call?" Pauline snorted.
Emily narrowed her eyes at her, making her cower, before turning her gaze to Martha, who took a breath, her expression returning to normal as she said, "It seems he needs a little more time before he can fight."
Saying this, she turned to her group of four, "We are going to make sure no demon gets past us and to the tent. Also…"
She turned to Emily and Pauline, "...You guys stay close to us."
Rumble!
It was at that moment the ground started rumbling.
Everyone was alert, their weapons and spells ready as they looked in the western direction, seeing a cloud of dust rushing toward them.
Gulp!
Everyone had good enough eyesight to see tens of thousands of demons, both from the scarlet demon tribe and the horned demon tribe, in the cloud of dust, which was the result of them running at a very fast speed.
Although the humans here numbered more than twenty thousand in total, the sheer number of demons made them gulp.
"They easily have twice the number." Armand muttered, her expression turning incomparably grim.
It was at this moment everyone who came with Alton and Wyomin understood why they were told they might not come back alive.
Martha also had the same expression as she sent a message to Max.
[The demon army is twice as strong in numbers. Not only that, the number of Five Star demons they have surpasses ours. So, I don\'t think I can buy you any time.]
A few seconds after she sent the message, the demons entered the human\'s territory and launched several long range spells at them.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Boom! Bang! Bang!
The human mages reacted and cast their own long range spells, destroying many of the demons\' spells, but several found their target and landed, killing many Three and Four Star mages while injuring the others.
Heena, the middle-aged lady who had commented on Emily and others placing the tent, looked at the demon army, a deep frown on her face as she muttered, "Why the fuck are they being this aggressive? Why are they attacking with such overwhelming numbers?"
The rough-looking man near her scoffed, "You have really lost your mind, woman. What other reason could it be other than the establishment of the War Temple? The emperors must be close to setting it up."
While many of whom heard him felt relieved, thinking if the emperors could finish setting up the War Temple soon, they would survive, but others\' faces turned even grimmer. They knew if his words were true and the establishment of the War Temple was about to complete, their chances of survival were even lower because king-rank demons would also join this battle.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
BOOM!!
"Kill these insects!"
Right when this realization hit them, over twenty figures shot up in the air and launched attacks toward the human army.
The humans, even the Five Star mages who were targeted, couldn\'t resist their attacks because these figures were King Rank Demons.
Swoosh!
An attack resembling a large meteor headed in Martha and others\' direction. Its speed was so fast that apart from Martha and her group of four, no one could hope to dodge it.
"Dodge, princess!" Armand and the other female shouted as they activated their movement spells and rushed away.
Martha\'s gaze flickered with hesitation as she glanced at Emily, Pauline, and the rest of the Fullers who were going to die.
If she went all out, she could save Emily and Pauline, but she would most likely be caught up in the shockwaves and would get injured.
However, she couldn\'t afford that as she had a long battle to fight in front of her.
However… n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
\'With so many King rank demons attacking us, we aren\'t going to survive anyway.\' She thought, her gaze becoming determined.
She knew several of her family\'s king mages and other hidden king mages were going to join the battle, but their number was nowhere near enough to resist them.
However, right when she was about to move to save Emily and Pauline, she sensed something, and her head snapped in the tent\'s direction.
Swoosh!
The tent exploded in pieces, and a foot-long, grayish-pink finger materialized in the air before shooting toward the incoming meteor.
