Chapter 564  Dwarf Demons

Ba-Dum! Ba-Dum!

His heart started pumping the blood at an increased rate and slowly, his eyes turned red.

He gently placed Ellie on the ground, making her eyes widen in fear. Seeing this, he forcibly suppressed his anger and tried to keep his expression normal and softly said, "It\'s alright. You stand here. With me here, no one can harm you."

Ellie suddenly felt a strange feeling well up in her heart. Despite her fear, she bit her lips, lowered her head and nodded, "Mm."

Boom!

Max turned around, and looked into the distance as his mana erupted out of him like a volcano, causing his hair and robes to flap wildly. "WHO THE FUCK IS IT? COME OUT AND DIE!" He growled.

\'He is… really angry now?\' From the moment she first saw him, she had never seen him become as angry as he was now. Because she knew the reason of anger, she couldn\'t help but feel moved. As she looked at his straight back, which seemed as tall and sturdy as a mountain, the strange feeling in her heart intensified. She suddenly felt her decision earlier was right. Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Right after he shouted, several figures rushed in from outside the valley like a gust of wind, stopping ten meters away from him.

It was a group of six, red-skinned demons. But it would be more appropriate to call them dwarves because although they were muscular like most demons, none of them was taller than three feet. All of them had a similar, short bone knife, in their hands.

"Dwarves?" Max raised his brows when he saw them. After they appeared, they were greedily eyeing him and, especially Ellie, with creepy smiles on their faces. But when they heard Max call them \'Dwarves\', their expression morphed and they suddenly became furious.

Almost at the same time, they raised their bone knives, and rushed toward him, growling, "You puny human dare disrespect us? DIE!!"

Shua! Shua! Shua!

Despite their short stature, and tiny legs, they were surprisingly fast. Almost immediately, they arrived in front of Max and swung their bone knives at him from different angles. Rip~ Rip~ Rip~

As soon as they slashed, ripping noises filled the air, causing Max to narrow his eyes, but he couldn\'t see anything, as though the attacks were invisible. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

On a whim, he injected a wisp of his Lust overlord\'s bloodline energy into his eyes, causing his eyes to gain a pink hue. When he looked again, his heart throbbed in fear, and felt a chill run down his spine because he saw six, blood red Crescents ripping the air and rushing toward him, targeting his head, heart, abdomen etc.

Almost on instinct, he took out his thunder sword and slashed at the Crescent targeting his head. But when the sword clashed against it, something he didn\'t expect happened.

Clang!

The Crescent wasn\'t cut into two. Instead, his sword was deflected and the counterforce threw him off balance. This caused his expression to change drastically.

Just then, a feeling of intense dread welled up in his heart. Not bothering to stabilize his footing, he created layers upon layers of mana shields in front of him and covered his body with a thick layer of fire elemental mana. At the same time, he also circulated the Barbarian God physique to the limits.

But even then, the feeling of danger didn\'t completely vanish. However, he didn\'t have time to do anything else.

Under his horrified gaze, the six blood red Crescents phased past his mana shields, as though they weren\'t there. The same thing happened with the layer of fire elemental mana, proving his defensive measures ineffective. Piak! Piak! Piak!

After that, the Crescents pierced into his body. But fortunately for him, because he was thrown off balance, the Crescent that was to pierce his forehead, only cut off a few strands of hair before rushing past him while the one targeting his heart also missed the target. Perhaps it was because they lost energy to phase past the mana shields and fire elemental mana layer, or his body was tough enough, they only left half an inch holes in his chest, abdomen, legs, and left shoulder, unable to completely pierce through.

Although it took quite some time to describe it, all of this happened in a span of a few seconds.

"Ahhh!!"

Just when Max was sighing in relief, Ellie\'s sudden heart wrenching scream made him freeze. He stiffly turned his head around, hoping she was alright but what he saw made his eyes widen in shock, and terror. Ellie was clutching the left side of her neck. Her hands, and neck were all bloody. Furthermore, blood was constantly seeping out from between her fingers, dying her robes red. She had a look of extreme pain, horror on her face as she desperately tried to stop the bleeding while looking at him pleadingly.

Whoosh!

Ignoring the dwarves preparing to launch another attack, he rushed over to her. Holding her in his embrace, he took out a healing pill and fed it to her. After that, he took a few blood clotting pills, crushed them into powder and pressed it into the wound on her neck.

After seeing the ghastly slash wound, he had realized it was from the Crescent that he accidentally dodged. This made him feel guilty and also made him realize that even though he could kill mid-stage four-star experts, he wasn\'t invincible and there were many beings in the same realm who could pose him a threat. After all, apart from the leading dwarf, who seemed to be an early-stage four-star demon, the rest were high-stage and peak three-star demons, but they still almost killed him.

"He dares ignore us? Kill him. Kill him." The dwarves became angry when they saw Max ignore them. Immediately, they started infusing their energies into their bone knives.

Hum~!

The knives started humming and a red light started gathering on the blade which quickly turned invisible. Seeing how Max was completely focused on saving Ellie, the dwarves sneered and raised their hands to slash at him. Crackle~!

However, before they could slash, a sharp crackling noise filled the air.

"Defend!" The leading dwarf seemed to have sensed something and hurriedly shouted with a grave expression. Whoosh! Whoosh!

Immediately, the five dwarves took position behind him. Then, following the leading dwarf\'s lead, they simultaneously slashed upwards.

This scene would baffle most of the people who saw it because there was nothing above them. But just as the dwarves slashed upwards, a lightning spear, crackling with thunder appeared there out of nowhere and fiercely dove down towards them, clashing against the six invisible Crescents. Boom! The collision resulted in a deafening boom. When the sky cleared, there was no trace left of the lightning spear or the invisible Crescents.

"Oh?!"

A surprised voice rang in the air.
