Catherine, who immediately after cing Max on her kill list, jumped straight
into action. She condensed yet another 3 ice spears before her.
The aura of the 3 ice spears were simr to the spear that she hadunched
previously. However, a key difference was that she had infused much more
mana into these spears, making them stronger and more lethal.
Once she was satisfied with the mana she had imbued, she fired the spears into
the distance.
Through the help of the ice and wind elements, Catherine had grasped Max’s
location and she had locked the spears onto his position.
A gloomy expression surfaced on Catherine’s face.
The fact that he withstood my ice spear might have been a fluke. Or perhaps
there’s something special about his body. Regardless, Im certain that at least 1
of my next3 spears wil be able to inflict damage onto you.
Catherine had not gone all-out just yet. After all, she was an Ancient Dragon,
and she had over ten thousand other methods at her disposal to defeat Max.
However, if she were to kill Max on a whim just then and there, she would not
figure out how he was able to defend against her ice spear.
Moreover, if she could capture Max alive, she could even learn why Avril had
self-destructed.
Although Catherine did not have any evidence, her sixth sense told her that
Max was the culprit behind Avril’s death.
Max had been flying for quite a while in the mountain ridge. Although the
route he was using was a detour, the fact remained that he was inching closer
and closer to the location of the snow lotus.
If he kept his pace, he would be able to reach the lotus by the end of the day.
He had also not encountered any of the ice spears thus far.
Just as Max was about to let his guard down, however, terror struck.
Max detected 3 projectilesing towards him at a breakneck speed!
The bone-piercing frost energy contained within them was exactly the same as
the ice spear that was targeted at him earlier!
Recognizing its signature, Max would not fall for the same trick again.
Max made a prompt decision. He immediately tilted downwards and dove
down.
He wanted to borrow the geography of the mountain ridge to take on the ice
spears.
A secondter, the 3 ice spears had already appeared before him.
The 3 ice spears were a blur to Max. Had he not sensed them in advance
would not be able to react in time!
Max dived down and entered deep into the snow mountain. Just as he was
about to touch the ground, however, he relied on his two powerful dragon
ws to propel him back into the sky!
The three icy-blue ice spears that had locked onto Max possessed too much
momentum to stop, and they had ended up piercing into the ground!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Max hovered in the sky and observed the spot where the spears that had
pierced into the mountain ridge.
“That was close
Had Max not anticipated the assant’s attack in advance and devised
countermeasures, Max would likely have suffered great wounds!
Max’s eyes were ice-cold. Now that the enemy had attacked a second time, it
had proven that his position waspromised.
There was no point in fleeing.
Despite only recovering his Invincible Golden Body charges during the
morning, he had been forced to use up 1 charge again. Should his assant
continue to give chase, Max could only take on2 more attacks before he would
need to act passively.
No matter how much potential that Max wielded, his current body was only a
little stronger than that of an ordinary Young Red Dragon.
it was sufficient defense against magic-type dragons who were weak in melee
bat, but against ck or White Dragons who exceled in hand-to-hand
bat, Max would be put on the defensive, and he would likely have to rely on
his dragon breath to deal with them.
At this moment, Max seemed to have sensed something unusual happening
underground.
Rumble..
The ground trembled slightly. Immediately after, three icy-blue spears moving
at a beam-like speed shot sprung out and rushed towards Max!
They had caught Max ina pincer attack. Even if he attempted to escape from
one of them, the other 2 would strike his exposed vital points.
Even if he were to forcefully push back the spear directly in front of him, the
other 2 spears would just strike him at his blind spot!
Max was put in a desperate situation by the near light-speed ice spears before
him!
Catherine observed Max’s desperate attempt to escape the spears from her
lofty abode via the wind and ice elemental spirits.
An imperceptible smile shed in her eyes.
“The Red Dragon is going to die!”
This was Catherine’s judgment.
Although Max’s physique was far superior to his peers of the same age, it was
not enough to cover the power gap between an Ancient Dragon.
However, this was not apletely hopeless situation for Max.
Lightning suddenly shed in Max’s mouth, and in the next moment, a bolt of
Lightning Breath shot forth from his mouth.
Lightning sh”
A bolt of lightning shot out from Max’s mouth, and the recoilunched Max 2
meters into the air!
It was this short distance that allowed Max to spare his life by a hairs breadth!
The 3 ice spears shed past Max’s body, and scraped against his hard scales.
Despite that, they had instantly caused fresh blood to flow from his wounds.
However, they were not fatal injuries, and with the powerful regenerative
abilities of the dragons, it would not be long before he recovered.
However, right after they made contact, ice shards began to form across Max’s
wounds. Asa result, the already healing wounds were once again injured by the
ice shards!
Max focused his gaze. To his dismay, his blood was gradually freezing.
With no other option left, Max shed his wounds with his owm ws.
Scrape
Fresh blood sttered again as Max cut off pieces of flesh from his body.
Although he did not suffer too many injuries, the attack from Catherine had
visibly shaken up Max!
