Chapter 691 Trouble

( Meanwhile Max ) 

Max fought like a beast that was possessed and his enemies felt it too. 

His domain skill was so powerful that despite multiple god's trying to kill him, they could not express even 10% of their true strength within his domain. 

Within tier6 skills, the ones that Max had chosen were undeniably at a peak, as there was not a single demon who had a reply for Max's domain. 

The system would have never given Max skills at this level as it was only because he chose a promotion method outside the scope of the system that he could receive such high level skills from the celestials. 

The only thing he needed to be wary of was that time wasn't his biggest ally at the moment. 

The longer he took to kill a god, the more time it gave the others to acclimatise to his domain and understand what attacks worked and what attacks did not. 

In the end, his opponents were gods as well and once they recovered from their initial disbelief, they began to systematically test Max's defences for any weaknesses until one of them used a Darkness based attack which could not be controlled by Max and forced him to dodge. 

By the time the demons figured out that Max could not exert control over darkness based elements, he had managed to kill 13 gods, however, with the opponents finding a chink in his armour, the real fight was only starting now.

( Meanwhile, The Clone ) 

The clone's fight was faring much better than Max's. ?ℯ

Apparently the attack pattern that the clone would have consciously chosen was extremely different from the [ Subconscious Offence ] that his skill move made him do. 

The sword moves he made under the influence of subconscious offence were fluid and seemed connected to one another. 

If his usual fighting style was to try and use his agility to circle around the enemy and hit him at an indefensible spot on his body, the swordsmanship of the subconscious offence was like a veteran swordsman which opened up the enemy's defence from the front and hit their vitals without having to use agility. 

Every move that he did, every thrust, every slash, flowed perfectly into the next move he needed to make and his opponents could just not keep up. 

Paired with his elemental attacks, the clone was cleaning house alone, having killed over 34 demon gods in a matter of 65 minutes. 

*********** 

( Meanwhile Sebastian ) 

Sebastian's approach was very different from Max or the clone's. 

He was focused on survival and stalling his opponents. 

In his mind this was a two hour operation of which he had successfully weathered the first 65 minutes and only needed to stall them for 55 minutes more before he could activate his teleportation token and get the hell out of here. 

Uptil now he has lost close to 20% of his HP as his health bar started to show a few signs of yellow, but he was overall fine with no major injuries. I think you should take a look at

After the initial chaos where he had used the attacks of the demon gods to kill other demon gods, he had only made 3 additional kills, but other than that he was only doing lots of dodging, countering and running. 

************* 

( Meanwhile the rest of the army ) 

The undead had managed to hold their footing for the first 65 minutes, mostly due to the narrow valley making the battle extremely concentrated and difficult to progress. 

However, over 300,000 undead had been lost in the process and now only a measly army of 50,000 remained. 

In the narrow valley, the number of 50,000 was still a lot to block the demons, however, at the rate that the front lines were thinning they would last for only 20 minutes more at most, which was not enough to hit the 2 hour target. 

With Max, the clone and Sebastian all having their hands completely full, this was an area that they could not focus on even if they wanted to. 

**************** 

( Meanwhile Angakok )

Angakok was filled with hatred towards Max, Khnum and Kremeth. 

His carefully crafted plan of over 2000 years was disrupted by these 3 fools and it left him with boundless frustration and anguish. 

He had already exacted his revenge upon Kremeth and Khnum by sending them to the afterlife but he had saved the worst for the last. 

Having still not given up on taking over Max's body, Angakok did not want to kill Max. 

His goal in entering the Dimensional Battlefield today was to make Max suffer, and he had two clear objectives in mind to make it happen. 

He had thought about it a lot and knew that Max was extremely attached to his master Kremeth and went to great lengths to hide his real identity. 

It was for this reason that Angakok had decided that after entering the Dimensional Battlefield, he would find Max, kill the clone, unmask him and throw Kremeth's decapitated head in front of him. 

By doing this, he would make Max's life extremely difficult and ensure his isolation from vampire society once they found out that he was a primordial vampire. 

Once Max suffered enough by being a fugitive without the support of his clan, his friends, family and the protection of the vampire monarchy, only then would Angakok sweep in and make his second attempt at taking over his body. 

He was confident in winning this time as he was now keeping the time seed in person rather than using it to power the time chamber. 

He no longer cared about the subconscious influence of the seed and was drunk on his desire for revenge and power. 

Being no longer capable to display his usual tier8 might after much of his soul power was lost in the struggle to take over Max's body- 

The seed of time was his only tool that gave him the edge to still stand as one of the strongest beings in the universe.
