nBuzz!

nThe ice spear, which was imbued with powerful frost energy, pierced into the

nsky!

nWherever it went, a long trail of icy vapor would follow.

nHad jet planes existed in this world, it would likely have shown the same effect.

nThe spear soared dozens upon dozens of kilometers, and yet, it showed no

nsigns of slowing down. Instead, it seemed to be picking up speed instead!

nAt some point, the ice spear’s figure was no longer able to be seen. It was a

nblur, akin to a flash of icy blue light within the sky!

nThe distance between Catherine and Max was neither long nor short.

nMax, who had already obtained the location of the Dark Snow Lotus Crystal,

nwas flying at a low altitude.

nThe distance between Catherine and Max was only less than 100 kilometers.

nThus, it did not take long for the ice spear, which was accelerating throughout

nits voyage, to reach Max.

nBefore long, the ice spear had appeared in the form of a small blue dot in Max’s

nperiphery.

nMax’s eyes narrowed, and he suddenly halted.

nFor some unknown reason, an extremely dangerous premonition had appeared

nwithin his heart!

nThis premonition was unlike anything he had ever sensed before. It was

nintense, and it warned him of a potentially fatal encounter!

nMax looked at the vast expanse of whiteness around him. However, he could

nt detect anything of significance.

nThe next instant, however, the icy blue glow soon magnified within his vision.

nSwoosh!

nMax’s pupils instantly shrunk to the size of a pinhole. He did not even have the

ntime to consciously react. Fortunately for him, his instincts honed after the

nbattles against the monsters in the past had allowed him to envelope his scales

nin a golden glow!

nInvincible Golden Body!

nBam!

nThe golden projection that appeared almost instantaneously had forcefully

nblocked the powerful ice spear that had come from afar.

nNevertheless, Max’s figure was still sent hurtling over a dozen meters from the

nimpact of the spear.

nHe crashed into the snow and remained there for quite some time.

nMax’s heart thumped rapidly as he threw out a bunch of profanities.

nHe had been ambushed, and despite taking the hit head-on, he was unable to

nfigure out his assailant’s location!

nMax climbed up from the snowy ground in a sorry state, his eyes filled with

nincomparable solemnity.

nIt would have been fine if he had known who and where his assailant was. He

nwould rather be surrounded by enemies than to have his opponent be in the

ndark.

nNothing could be worse than the unknown!

nMax looked at his surroundings vigilantly and slowly retreated.

nAs a result of failing to pierce Max’s body, the ice-blue spear of ice had crashed

ninto the ground and shattered into a pool of ice shards.

nMax frowned and looked at the ice shards.

nAre these the weapons that I was attacked with earlier?

nMax’s heart palpitated as he looked around warily.

nMax was familiar with the shards. After all, Avril had used the same type of

nattack against him.

nCould Avril still be alive? Is she still coming after me, after all this time!?

nWhat a troublesome mess.

nAssassins hiding in the dark were much, much harder to face than enemies

nthat fought in the daylight.

nHowever, Max quickly rejected the idea. After all, the

nice-spear-turned-ice-shards contained a much higher concentration of ice

nenergy compared to the ice spear that Avril had launched at him previously.

nHad Avril been capable of creating an ice spear this powerful, the outcome of

ntheir previous battle would have been tipped greatly in her favor.

nMore importantly, she would not have self-destructed.

nMax looked at the shattered ice spear and tooka deep breath.

n‘I still don’t know who attacked me

nMax dared not linger in the area. He could not figure out how his assailant had

ndiscovered him, and thus, it was best that he leave the troublesome area as

nSOon as possible.

nThe wings on his back flapped rapidly as Max took off into the distance.

nThis time, Max chose a more indirect route to the Dark Snow Lotus Crystal. He

ncircled around and headed towards a mountain ridge instead,

nShould his enemy attack him while he was there, he would be able to spot it

nimmediately and dodge it by using the mountain as his shield.

nIf Max was considered to be afraid, then Catherine, who was still holing up

nwithin her lair in the snow mountain peak, was absolutely bewildered.

nShe did not expect that Max, who was only a Dragon Hatchling, to be able to

nwithstand her attack!

nShe was an Ancient Dragon!

nOne that had lived for thousands of years at that!

nHer understanding of the ice element was immense, and she could do whatever

nshe pleased with it.

nThe attack that she launched earlier would leave an Archaic Dragon half-dead

neven if they were able to block it!

nEven a Silver Dragon like Avril, who had resistance towards the ice elements,

nwould not attempt to take it head-on. Instead, she would try to dodge it.

nHowever, what of Max!?

nDespite being a hatchling, he was capable of taking her attack unscathed!

nIt was simply unbelievable!

nCatherine had lived for thousands of years, but she had never witnessed such a

nfeat before.

nIt took a long while for Catherine to recover from her shock.

nThe surprise in her eyes immediately turned into a hint of solemnity.

nThe shock that Max had brought to her was too great. To think that a Dragon

nHatchling was capable of enduring an Ancient Dragon’s attack. Catherine

nshuddered upon thinking the future that awaited the Dragon Hatchling

nThe hatchling must be killed!

nAt this moment, Catherine revisited the thought she had earlier. It had no

nlonger seemed as absurd as before.

nThe fact that it was able to withstand her attack had meant that it was capable

nof killing Avril!

nCatherine slowly got up and shook off the thick layer of snow covering her

nbody.

nShe looked into the distance with a solemn expression. It was the direction that

nMax was flying in.

nMax had already entered Catherine’s kill list..
