Chapter 797: Nobody can kill me
"Third Elder, it’s this guy—Max!" Frank cried out suddenly, scrambling forward and pointing a trembling finger straight at Max. His eyes were wild, face pale with a mix of fear and hope that perhaps by offering up Max, he’d spare himself the old woman’s wrath.
The Third Elder’s head snapped toward Max, her expression darkening into an inferno of murderous intent. "You... You deserve to die!" she hissed, her voice icy and crackling with killing intent.
Before Max could even react, before he could even so much as flinch, an invisible force slammed into him with the force of a mountain.
BOOM!
The world exploded in pain as he was hurled backward like a meteor, his body smashing through several trees in rapid succession, each trunk splintering into wooden shrapnel as his form tore through them. He crashed to the ground with a bone-jarring impact, blood erupting from his mouth in a violent spray as he skidded across the earth, carving a deep trench in the soil.

Despite the agony radiating through his chest, Max lifted his head slowly, wiping the crimson streaks from his chin with the back of a shaking hand. His eyes, pinkish-red and glinting with a manic gleam, locked onto the Third Elder. And then, despite the blood dripping from his lips, he began to laugh.
"Hahahaha..." His laughter echoed through the battered clearing, raspy and edged with madness. "You can’t save her."
As he uttered those cold words, his lips barely moving, he whispered in his mind: Devour.
The moment the silent command left his thoughts, a sudden black light flickered over June’s already charred body. Almost instantly, tongues of black flames burst into existence, enveloping her form in a swirling vortex of sinister fire.
"Huh?! Black flames?! How did she start burning in black flames?!" The Third Elder gasped in utter shock, her eyes widening as the eerie flames hissed and roared, devouring everything in their path.
