nIt was only a distance of 200 meters, but it had taken Max 5 minutes to drag his battered body to reach Bloom’s side.

nMost of Bloom’s skin had turned into charcoal. Except for his right arm, which was still unharmed and good as new.

nAt this moment, Bloom shared the same thoughts as Max. He was on his last breath, and he had completely lost his ability to fight.

nDespite all his feats, Bloom was still a human. As he did not prepare any countermeasures to Mia’s sneak attack, he had taken the full brunt of her attack.

n“Cough, cough, cough…”

nBloom’s lips, which were already charred, spat out a few words with difficulty.

n“How… Did you do it…”

nMax frowned. He did not understand what Bloomwas trying to say.

nHowever, he had already placed his huge claws on Bloom’s neck.

n

n

nMax’s dragon claws were extremely sharp. At this moment, they were placed on Bloon’s neck. With just a little strength from Marx, they would be able to pierce through Bloom’s neck and end Bloom’s life instantly.

n“Indeed, I have underestimated your ties.”

n“I thought that all of you would flee in the face of such a crisis.”

n“However, none of you did so. Instead, you chose to work together to overcome this crisis.”

n“I also know that I won’t be able to hold on for much longer in my current state.”

n“Before I lose consciousness, can you answer my final doubt?”

n“Why was that weak little dragon able to survive my explosion?”

nOnce Bloom had finished speaking, he looked at Max and waited for his answer.

n“I’m sorry, but this is my own secret.”

nWith that, Max stabbed his claws into Bloom’s throat.

nThe Dragon Slayer that everyone had sung about for a whole generation had now died at the hands of a Dragon Hatchling.

nMax shook his head helplessly.

n‘Why didn’t Mia flee upon realizing the threat she was up against?’

n‘Was it because she could not leave at all?’

n‘Perhaps the barrier has prevented her from escaping. She might’ve suffered from the backlash of her own mana.’

n‘Under these circumstances, even if Mia wanted to escape, she could not.’

nSuddenly, a thought came to Max’s mind.

nHe quickly turned to look at the dead Bloom.

nAs expected, not a single ounce of mana was coming off of him!

n‘He doesn’t have any mana!’

n‘And he isn’t using any magic tools!’

nMax gasped upon this realization.

nA great sense of danger gripped his heart once more..

n‘This area has been sealed off by a domain. In order to achieve this, one must either cast a spell or use a magic tool.’

n‘Plus, this domain is on a completely different tier from the one Felix had used to contain me. This particular domain can cause my mana to backfire on me.’

n‘This kind of high-level domain could not have come from a magic tool!’

n‘The person who had cast this domain isn’t Bloom, but someone else!’

n‘Otherwise, why would Bloom think that Mia would flee?’

nMax turned around with difficulty and cut the rope on Mia’s body with his sharp claws.

nThe injuries on Mia’s body were just as bad as Max’s.

nMax checked the injuries on Mia’s body. There were 26 broken bones, and her internal organs had also suffered great injuries.

nThey would need a long time to recover from these injuries.

nHowever, he was not worried that their injuries would leave any scars. After all, the dragons possessed a strong physique and a powerful seal-healing ability.

nAs long as they replenished sufficient nutrition and rested, they would recover.

nHowever, should they lose their wings, tails, or limbs, there would be no hope to regain them.

nIf they did not foresee any special heavenly and earthly treasures or elixirs, it was likely that they would leave behind permanent sequelae.

nAlthough both Max and Mia’s wings had been severely injured, they were still functional.

nAs long as they could endure through their weakest moment, Max and Mia would be able to fly soon enough.

nMarx looked at the domain’s boundary that was invisible to the naked eye.

nThe boundary was currently blocking Max’s escape route.

nUpon touching the boundary of the domain, the mana within one’s body would go out of control and lash out at its owner.

nIf the magic power was too great and the body was weak, the body might turn into a bomb and explode.

nBloom did not have any mana within his body, and thus, he would not be affected by the domain.

n‘This is a two-layered trap!’

nMax’s brows were tightly knitted. His real enemy was hidden deep in his midst!

nSo much so that up until now, Max had not even seen who he was facing against!

n“Come out.”

nMax said coldly.

nAlthough Max was extremely exhausted, and there was the possibility of him collapsing at any moment, his voice was still strong and demanding.

nMax’s voice resounded throughout the entire domain, and it continuously echoed within it.

n

n

nMia followed closely behind Max before asking him carefully.

n“Brother, is there any other problem?”

nMax protected Mia behind him and said softly, “Our real enemy hasn’t appeared yet. You should have already noticed that the magic surrounding us isn’t something that Bloom set up.”

nMia exclaimed in her heart, ‘The enemy is hidden so well!’

nThe 100 thousand strong human army, the 3 great generals, and Bloom the Dragon Slayer had already been dealt with. However, the battle was still far from over.

n“Brother, did the army from before set up this domain?”

nMax shook his head.

n“They should be from different forces. Otherwise, they would not have sent themselves to their deaths.”

nWhile Mia and Max were talking, the luxurious carriage hovered in the sky above them.

nWithin it, a terrifying magic power that was like a black hole caused the surrounding scene to tremble!
