Chapter 567  Underestimation

Max glanced at the elf, and shook his head, "No, he won't." He knew just saying this wasn't assuring enough, so he waved his hand and took out a wooden box, "You are heading back to deliver this box, which contains medicine that my father needs to heal."

Kamesh and others' eyes flashed when they heard this.

Max glanced at Kamesh, and ordered in a high voice, "Kamesh, you'll be the team leader and lead all these guys to return and deliver this medicine to my father. This is your mission. Do you accept it?"

From their reactions, Max already knew they all wanted to return. So, not wanting to waste any more time, and to give them a proper excuse, he gave them the mission.

Kamesh hesitated. Just like Ray, he also could tell Max was someone extraordinary, and this belief strengthened further when he absorbed the white light that Max exuded a few days ago, and benefited a lot. Because he knew this, he wanted to follow him, and benefit even more, but another part of him told him to go back to the safety of Ninam city as he had already come close to losing his life a few times already. If he really followed him to the battlefield, he felt the chances of him surviving were pitifully low, and he wasn't ready to die yet, and had two beautiful wives, and a newly born son waiting at home.

Upon thinking this, he took a deep breath, and nodded, "Yes, I accept the mission, team leader." As soon as he said this, he felt a sense of loss, but since he had already made his decision, he wasn't going to change it. A short while later, Ella, Ellie, Kamesh, and the rest of the elves, except Ray and Shasha, sat on the silver hawk and headed back to Ninam city.

Whoosh!

A short while later, Ella, Ellie, Kamesh, and the rest of the elves, except Ray and Shasha, sat on the silver hawk and headed back to Ninam city.

Whoosh!

Emily arrived with a gust of wind, and watched the hawk disappear on the horizon. She then turned toward Max, and asked, "Did you send them back? Why?"

"I didn't want them to risk their lives any longer." Max breathed out, a relieved expression appearing on his face. Seeing this, Emily frowned. She knew Max came here to find a way to heal their father. She didn't know how they were supposed to find it, but she had a guess. However, if her guess was true, wasn't sending them back a bad idea? Or Could it be that he was no longer confident to find a way to heal their father…

Thinking this, her fist clenched tight, an anxious look appeared on her face, and she hesitantly opened her mouth. But before she could say anything, Max added, "I also needed them to send the medicine back to heal father since he only has a few days left."

Emily's expression rippled when she heard this, before letting out a relieved breath. Max waited for her to ask how he acquired the medicine, but she stayed silent, clearly not intending to ask anything.

Max let out a relieved sigh in his heart. He didn't want to concoct any lies, while the truth would be hard to digest for her. So, it was for the best that she didn't ask anything.

Just then, Emily gave him a peculiar look and asked, "Why didn't you ask me if I wanted to go back? Aren't you worried something might happen to me on the battlefield?"

She didn't ask why they didn't go back too, since it was obvious Max still wanted to join the battlefield.

Max turned his head around, met her gaze, and said with a smile "Of course, I'm worried. But would you have agreed to go back?" Max gave her a small smile.

Emily turned around and the corner of her lips curled up slightly.

"Rest up, and recover quickly. It isn't safe to stay in one place for long." Saying this, she transformed into a gust of wind and vanished from his sight. This surprised Max, and he muttered, "She has made quite some progress in her movement technique."

I wonder how Lily is doing and what life threatening situation she is going to face… Seeing how much her master dotes upon her, she shouldn't face any life threatening situation. Could it be that she is going to participate in the war? But why would her master allow it… His expression turned grim when he thought this, as the sense of urgency became even stronger.

No, this won't do. I need to work hard and quickly break through to the four-star realm and complete the mission. Thinking this, he told Ray and Shasha that they were going to stay here for a few days, and asked them to inform Durden's group, before entering the building, intending to gain control over his mana, bloodline, and get used to newly formed mana veins.

…

At the same time, Oliver, Lily and several others had arrived in a forest at the border of the border of Black Dragon Empire. Initially, they planned to go to the Flame Dragon Empire, see if their help was needed. If not, they were to proceed to the smaller kingdoms. However, a day before, they were ordered to travel to the Black Dragon Empire and report to the War Rankings hall at the empire's battlefield.

"Tsk! Why haven't we encountered any demons yet? I can't wait to kill a few hundred." A white robed man said in annoyance. Apart from Lily, who was cultivating in her tent, everyone else was gathered around a small campfire.

"A few hundred? Even ten would be more than what you can handle on your own, or could it be that you want to kill a few hundred low ranked demons?" A rough looking man sitting across from him scoffed.

"Of course, I'm talking about five-star demons. Do you think I'm a weakling like you who kills lower realmed enemies to appear strong?" The first man mocked back.

"You bastard! Do you wanna see how strong your father is?" The rough looking man immediately got angry, and started a verbal assault. Seeing this, Oliver frowned, and swept his gaze across everyone. Upon seeing how everyone was laughing without any worry, his expression hardened and he abruptly shouted. "Shut up!"

Immediately, the two arguing become silent, and warily looked at Oliver. Others also looked at him, wondering why he suddenly became angry.

"What do you think the demons are? Helpless sheep who you can kill whenever you want? Don't you know how fearsome they are? Do any of you have any clue at all?" Oliver shouted.
