nBuzz! Crackle! Rumble!

nLightning flashed in the sky!

nIn the blink of an eye, Max had already caught up to the fleeing Avril.

nHowever, although Max’s attack had succeeded, he did not manage to bite Avril’s weak spot, her neck.

nHad Max succeeded, Avril would be incapacitated for a full minute.

nIt would have been more than enough time for Max to tear Avril to shreds!

nUnfortunately, the part that Max had sunk his fangs into was her wings.

nMax’s bite was by no means weak. Coupled with the lightning being emitted from his fangs, Max had torn open a massive hole in Avril’s wings!

nAvril cried out in pain, and the snowy mountaintop echoed with Avril’s sorrowful cries.

nThe amplified Lightning Paralysis coursed through her veins and struck Avril’s nerves. Although it was not as effective as biting her neck, it was enough to stun for a whole 5 seconds!

nMax did not intend to let these 5 seconds to go to waste.

nHe slashed his razor sharp claws at Avril’s eyes. Should his attack hit its mark, Avril would be blinded!

nUnless she could use her mana to detect her surroundings, Avril would be completely lost! She would be in a complete disadvantage against Max if it were the case!

nShould that happen, Avril will be like a fish on Max’s chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered mercilessly!

nAs she watched the dragon claw approach her, Avril gasped in terror!

nShe was fully aware of the consequences of being struck by Max’s claws. Therefore, she was willing to sacrifice anything just to dodge the strike.

nOtherwise, the balance will tip greatly in Max’s favor, and it would not take long for Max to completely dominate the battle!

nAs a noble Silver Dragon, Avril would rather commit suicide than be killed by Max, a filthy Red Dragon!

nAvril urged what little had remained of her mana and manipulated the frost in the air. After accumulating what she deemed sufficient, she immediately launched it at herself!

nIndeed, Avril had attacked herself!

nThe gust of frost gathered together and turned into an icicle with a diameter around 3 meters. She launched it at herself faster than Max could strike at her!

nSmash!

nAvril’s body tilted slightly as a result of the impact, and it had happened right before Max could slash his claws at her!

nMax managed to blind one of Avril’s eyes!

nBlood splattered everywhere!

nWith the assistance of the icicle, Avril managed to keep her other eye safe.

nHowever, there was a deep wound carved onto Avril’s head as a result of the attack, and Avril was losing plenty of blood from it.

nAlthough Avril had managed to retain her vision partially, she had paid a heavy price for its survival.

nAvril stared at Max, her glare furious.

nNever would Avril have imagined being pushed to such a miserable state by a mere Dragon Hatchling. What had seemed like an easy prey had now blinded one of her eyes!

nAlthough Dragons possessed powerful recovery abilities, such abilities did not extend to their eyes.

nEven if Avril were to finish the later half of this battle unscathed, she would remain as a one-eyed Silver Dragon for the rest of her life.

nUpon realizing this, rage boiled within Avril’s heart.

nAvril was at the end of her rope, and after taking in a deep breath, she roared.

n“Oh Great God of the Metallic Dragons, Bahamut!”

n“Your most devote believer is now under the threat of a vile being. Please grant me the most sacred of strengths to defeat the enemy before me, and to prove the Metallic Dragons’ righteousness and superiority over these vile beings!”

n“The Chromatic Dragons are the vilest and most despicable creatures of all!”

nAvril’s passionate voice rang out like thunder!

nThe moment Avril’s voice subsided, Max detected the presence of a mysterious yet overwhelming power!

nThe unknown power descended from the sky and entered Avril’s body.

nAvril’s body, which was supposed to be exhausted, had instantly regained all the mana she lost!

nThe eye that had been blinded by Marx was now flickering with ice-cold flames!

nMax subconsciously gulped as he tried to make sense of the situation before him.

nHe quickly ran through Avril’s passionate declaration from earlier.

nThe object that Avril had prayed to was different from the mother goddess that he believed in, Tiamat. It was the God of the Metallic Dragons, Bahamut.

n‘No wonder we’re always at odds with each other. We both think that the other is praying to a false god.’

nMax had yet to fully awaken his ancestors’ memories yet, and Agatha had never mentioned such a scenario to him before. Thus, Max was unsure what was happening.

nThe flames on Avril’s injured eyes slowly extinguished, and once it was gone, Avril had regained her sight, much to Max’s shock!

nMax was completely dumbfounded.

nAfter all, no matter how powerful the Battle of Existence was, it was incapable of healing Max’s broken body in the past!

nHad he possessed this power, he would not have been in a sorry state when he was ambushed by Bloom. He might even have prevented Mia from coming into harms way had he possessed this power.

n‘What on earth did Bahamut bless Avril with? To think that it has completely healed all her injuries!’

nBefore Max could fully process the situation, Avril began approaching Max.

nShe approached at a slow but steady pace.

nEach step she took was as loud as a thunderclap!

nIt was as if he had used the ability, Stomp!

nIt was an ability that White and Black Dragons specialized in using.

nAs he felt the earth vibrate around him, Max frowned and observed Avril carefully.

nHe did not intend to charge in recklessly. Now that Avril had received the blessing of the Dragon God, Bahamut, he was clueless how strong she had become. If he attacked rashly, he would probably suffer a great loss!

nAt the same time, however, Max felt as if his body was gradually growing heavier!

nEven standing up was becoming difficult!

n‘What’s going on?!’

nMax stared wide-eyed at Avril.
