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 spowerful spell or used sincredibly 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 sshady deal with?' She becsuspicious.

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 askfor 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 stto 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.

"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.]

[…You've gained 4000 Kill Points.] He then dug out their cores before glancing at the other corpses. Noting that their demon cores had been retrieved, he walked over the demon leader's corpse and asked the system if he could sell it in the system shop, but was disappointed when the system told him he could not.

After which, he waved his hand.

Swoosh!

Scree~!

The majestic silver-eagle appeared in front of him and screeched, flapping its wings.

"Let's go guys." Max said to the elves and jumped onto the eagle's back. Elves followed the order while Emily also cover with Ellie and Ella.

The central plains were on the east side of the continent. To travel to the central continent from the Green leaf kingdom, one would need to traverse many small kingdoms, many inhibited regions, and three empires' territory.

Outside the central plains, the three empires—The Black Dragon empire, The Crimson Dragon empire and The Knights' Glory empire—were the most influential, and the strongest.

The Black Dragon empire, the second strongest of three, occupied the northern territory while the Crimson Dragon empire occupied the southern territory. The strongest of the three empires, the Knight's Glory empire, controlled the central territory and shared the border with both empires and the [central plains'] border.

Currently, just like every small kingdom, the three empires were also under the demons' attack and many villages, towns, and smaller cities had been destroyed.

In the Crimson Dragon empire, two cities were the strongest—the Royal Crimson city, and the Hellfire city.

The Royal Crimson city was the capital city of the empire and the place where the Royal family lived. As for the Hellfire city, it was the trade hub of the empire and the Strongest family after the Royal family—the Darvis family—controlled it.

Hellfire city, Darvis family…

The Hellfire family's meeting hall resembled a throne hall. But instead of a throne, there were three luxurious seats at the end of the hall and there were more than ten seats on both sides of the hall, fully occupied.

As for the three main seats, an old woman occupied the middle seat while a beautiful young lady was in the seat on the right and a middle-aged man was in the left one. These three were the Grand Elders, the emperor ranked mages of the Hellfire family.

"How many people we lost this time?" The old woman asked with a somber expression on her face.

"Three five-star, 10 four-star, and over 50 three-star mages. Also, the king ranked mage who led them was also seriously injured." A woman, who had a scroll in her hand, reported.

Hearing this, everyone's expression turned heavy.

"What about the other side? How many they lost?" The middle-aged man on the left main seat asked.

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 toldthere 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 seven 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 slessons 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 slessons from me, remember to bring sgood quality wine foras 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."
