nCatherine, who immediately after placing Max on her kill list, jumped straight
ninto action. She condensed yet another 3 ice spears before her.
nThe aura of the 3 ice spears were similar to the spear that she had launched
npreviously. However, a key difference was that she had infused much more
nmana into these spears, making them stronger and more lethal.
nOnce she was satisfied with the mana she had imbued, she fired the spears into
nthe distance.
nThrough the help of the ice and wind elements, Catherine had grasped Max’s
nlocation and she had locked the spears onto his position.
nA gloomy expression surfaced on Catherine’s face.
nThe fact that he withstood my ice spear might have been a fluke. Or perhaps
nthere’s something special about his body. Regardless, Im certain that at least 1
nof my next3 spears wil be able to inflict damage onto you.
nCatherine had not gone all-out just yet. After all, she was an Ancient Dragon,
nand she had over ten thousand other methods at her disposal to defeat Max.
nHowever, if she were to kill Max on a whim just then and there, she would not
nfigure out how he was able to defend against her ice spear.
nMoreover, if she could capture Max alive, she could even learn why Avril had
nself-destructed.
nAlthough Catherine did not have any evidence, her sixth sense told her that
nMax was the culprit behind Avril’s death.
nMax had been flying for quite a while in the mountain ridge. Although the
nroute he was using was a detour, the fact remained that he was inching closer
nand closer to the location of the snow lotus.
nIf he kept his pace, he would be able to reach the lotus by the end of the day.
nHe had also not encountered any of the ice spears thus far.
nJust as Max was about to let his guard down, however, terror struck.
nMax detected 3 projectiles coming towards him at a breakneck speed!
nThe bone-piercing frost energy contained within them was exactly the same as
nthe ice spear that was targeted at him earlier!
nRecognizing its signature, Max would not fall for the same trick again.
nMax made a prompt decision. He immediately tilted downwards and dove
ndown.
nHe wanted to borrow the geography of the mountain ridge to take on the ice
nspears.
nA second later, the 3 ice spears had already appeared before him.
nThe 3 ice spears were a blur to Max. Had he not sensed them in advance
nwould not be able to react in time!
nMax dived down and entered deep into the snow mountain. Just as he was
nabout to touch the ground, however, he relied on his two powerful dragon
nclaws to propel him back into the sky!
nThe three icy-blue ice spears that had locked onto Max possessed too much
nmomentum to stop, and they had ended up piercing into the ground!
nWhoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
nMax hovered in the sky and observed the spot where the spears that had
npierced into the mountain ridge.
n“That was close
nHad Max not anticipated the assailant’s attack in advance and devised
ncountermeasures, Max would likely have suffered great wounds!
nMax’s eyes were ice-cold. Now that the enemy had attacked a second time, it
nhad proven that his position was compromised.
nThere was no point in fleeing.
nDespite only recovering his Invincible Golden Body charges during the
nmorning, he had been forced to use up 1 charge again. Should his assailant
ncontinue to give chase, Max could only take on2 more attacks before he would
nneed to act passively.
nNo matter how much potential that Max wielded, his current body was only a
nlittle stronger than that of an ordinary Young Red Dragon.
nit was sufficient defense against magic-type dragons who were weak in melee
ncombat, but against Black or White Dragons who exceled in hand-to-hand
ncombat, Max would be put on the defensive, and he would likely have to rely on
nhis dragon breath to deal with them.
nAt this moment, Max seemed to have sensed something unusual happening
nunderground.
nRumble..
nThe ground trembled slightly. Immediately after, three icy-blue spears moving
nat a beam-like speed shot sprung out and rushed towards Max!
nThey had caught Max ina pincer attack. Even if he attempted to escape from
none of them, the other 2 would strike his exposed vital points.
nEven if he were to forcefully push back the spear directly in front of him, the
nother 2 spears would just strike him at his blind spot!
nMax was put in a desperate situation by the near light-speed ice spears before
nhim!
nCatherine observed Max’s desperate attempt to escape the spears from her
nlofty abode via the wind and ice elemental spirits.
nAn imperceptible smile flashed in her eyes.
n“The Red Dragon is going to die!”
nThis was Catherine’s judgment.
nAlthough Max’s physique was far superior to his peers of the same age, it was
nnot enough to cover the power gap between an Ancient Dragon.
nHowever, this was not a completely hopeless situation for Max.
nLightning suddenly flashed in Max’s mouth, and in the next moment, a bolt of
nLightning Breath shot forth from his mouth.
nLightning Flash”
nA bolt of lightning shot out from Max’s mouth, and the recoil launched Max 2
nmeters into the air!
nIt was this short distance that allowed Max to spare his life by a hairs breadth!
nThe 3 ice spears slashed past Max’s body, and scraped against his hard scales.
nDespite that, they had instantly caused fresh blood to flow from his wounds.
nHowever, they were not fatal injuries, and with the powerful regenerative
nabilities of the dragons, it would not be long before he recovered.
nHowever, right after they made contact, ice shards began to form across Max’s
nwounds. Asa result, the already healing wounds were once again injured by the
nice shards!
nMax focused his gaze. To his dismay, his blood was gradually freezing.
nWith no other option left, Max slashed his wounds with his owm claws.
nScrape
nFresh blood splattered again as Max cut off pieces of flesh from his body.
nAlthough he did not suffer too many injuries, the attack from Catherine had
nvisibly shaken up Max!
