Maxwell frowned; his heart tightened as he put his guards up.

However, Ben was bringing Fernando along until Maxwell couldn't see their backs anymore. At this time, he still didn't sense any threats directed at him.

He spread his senses out further and still didn't detect any humanoid auras.

"Huh?"

"Was he just trying to scare me?"

"Doesn't seem like it."

Maxwell's heart skipped a beat as he slowly turned around. It was at this moment that a shout was heard underground.

"Activate!"

"Huh?"

"They're underground!"

"Damnit, how come I didn't remember that gnomes usually lived underground?" Maxwell frowned as he immediately activated Ghost Steps and shot off. While in midair, he looked down at the original spot he was at.

Nothing had happened!

Maxwell exhaled and said to himself: "These gnomes are rather crafty..."

Before he finished the rest of his sentence, two rows of gnomes appeared in the vicinity of Maxwell.

They were making hand motions before leaping into the air as well.

"Humph!"

"A lowly human like you dares to intrude onto our territory?"

"Hack him to pieces for me!"

Those gnome soldiers all brandished their blades. They happen to be gliding through the air now instead of flapping their arms to fly.

Maxwell's lips curved into a sneer as he shouted: "You guys are overestimating yourselves! I'll give you a single chance to live, so go away from me, or else don't blame this daddy for bullying you little midgets!"

Since these midgets weren't listening to him, there was no need to bother about them.

A lowly human?

This bunch of midgets all had vicious tongues!

"A damn human like you dares to call us midgets? We are the most perfect race out of all races! A despicable and insidious human like you should just go to hell!"

"Kill him!"

"A damn human that deserves to just die!"

Ten plus gnome soldiers all rushed forth.

Maxwell didn't even place them in his eyes. His gaze underwent a slight change while saying, "A bunch of midgets like you are so shameless, you should all just go to hell then!"

"Level 2 Overdrive!"

Four times the attributes exploded forth. Maxwell's eyes turned gloomy as he watched those gnomes rush at him. He didn't have the slightest intention of going easy on his enemies, even though they were weaker than he was!

His fists started moving...

And dozens of fist images pummeled out.

This directly smashed the gnome soldiers flying back several hundred meters away.

Maxwell had a faint feeling of being an adult who was bullying a bunch of three-year-olds.

In just a brief moment, those gnome soldiers had all been smashed, flying all over the place. The only thing that surprised Maxwell was that none of them died. He originally thought it would be a direct instant kill and never imagined any other circumstances.

But this was still good enough.

Maxwell then coldly shouted, "Why don't you act arrogant in front of me again? Lowly human this, lowly human that; those words irritate the crap out of me! Now who's the lowly ones, huh? You, little midgets, keep calling me lowly, but in my eyes, no one is more lowly than you guys!"

Maxwell said this in an extremely annoyed tone.

It was at this time that a chilling light shot down from the sky!

An arrow containing a force that was capable of ripping the sky apart shot straight towards the spot between Maxwell's brows!

Maxwell's heart sank as he quickly shot towards the ground while tilting away.

"Bam!"

The arrow struck the ground and blew apart!

The result of that arrow attack created a large and deep hole. Maxwell's mind shuddered as he unconsciously took a few steps backwards before cursing: "Who made that sneak attack! Come out here for me if you have the guts!"

"Bam!"

"He fell for it! He's already entered the middle of the Hell Array."

At this moment, the world around Maxwell started turning illusory. And in just the blink of an eye, everything completely changed.

"Humph!"

"Someone with your strength is merely courting death in front of our race!" A black dot in the sky started descending. He was wearing eye-catching black clothes with a small, delicate-looking bow on his back. He was coldly staring at Maxwell, who had just entered the Hell Array with a face filled with contempt.

"Greetings to General Axel!"

Those little midgets that Maxwell had sent flying all rushed up with pain on their faces.

The black clothed gnome had a dark expression as he coldly shouted: "A bunch of trash! You guys couldn't even deal with a useless human? I really don't know why my elder brother bothers to keep you pieces of trash around, humph!"

All those gnome soldiers lowered their heads without daring to breathe loudly.

Maxwell's sight of the world around him gradually turned blurry. He looked at the black clothed gnome and directly cursed out: "You damn midget, just wait and see..."

"Humph!"

"A piece of trash like you wants to kill this General?"

"You should talk after you break out of this Hell Array. Lowly human, most likely you will never be able to go out ever again and will just directly die here!" The black clothed gnome showed a wildly arrogant expression and didn't even look Maxwell in the eyes.

"Bam!"

Everything before Maxwell's eyes had turned illusory.

As things turned illusory in his vision, Maxwell had already tried rushing out of the area. But he then realised no matter how much he ran, he couldn't get out and seemed to be stuck in this place. It was as if this area had turned into an inescapable deathtrap!

"Hell Array!"

"It's another damn formation array thingy! This is annoying the crap out of me!" Maxwell was irritated because he unconsciously recalled the array inscribed on the ancient scroll. When it came to formations and arrays, he had no experience with them and was considered clueless on the subject.

Maxwell breathed out to calm himself.

He did have an ancestor inside him that knew about arrays...

Dracula!

But Maxwell didn't want to wake him up because he had said not to disturb him unless all five elemental beast cores had been gathered.

Even though over two months have passed by, Maxwell could feel that Dracula's soul hadn't recovered by that much. Or else that arrogant guy would've jumped out at the Dead City for some fun already.

In addition, Maxwell wanted to use his own strength to solve problems instead of relying on others!

"Good!"

"I'll give your Hell Array a try!" Shouted Maxwell while faintly frowning.

Immediately after, he took a step forward.

"Bam!"

The surrounding environment changed.

Petals of lotus flowers could be seen opening, causing the environment to change along with it. An infinite sea of fire that seemed to be from the depths of hell then appeared. Many Fire Demons, containing a deathly aura, started crawling out of the sea of fire while crying out ghostly wails.

Maxwell could barely stand the heat as it became unbearably hot against his skin.

Seeing how the Fire Demons started pouncing over, Maxwell's eyes narrowed as he shouted: "Magma Fire!"

"Level 2!"

Maxwell's hands and feet turned into fiery magma, which somehow offset the blazing hot environment. The only parts of his body still feeling the extreme heat were his chest and his head. He then said to himself, "These little midgets don't have a lot of power, but they actually managed to create such a powerful array."

A Fire Demon pounced over, and Maxwell smashed his fist out.

"Bam!"

As the Fire Demon was smashed flying, it would break apart into several heaps of small fires.

These heaps of small fires started igniting again before becoming more Fire Demons.

Maxwell's heart sank. He tried several more times and discovered the more he fought, the more Fire Demons would appear. "How the hell am I supposed to break this array?"

Maxwell tried to calm himself down while his thoughts went into overdrive.

Eventually, he raised his right hand, and the one thousand eight hundred pounds Vampire Blade appeared. He then swept the blade around and shouted: "Let's see how many clones you can create! Today, I'll chop up everything to my heart's content!"
