Chapter 113: Your Magic Has No Effect on Me!

Despite the dagger hurtling towards him, Max maintained a calm expression and kept a track on the seconds that had passed.

“13…”

“14…”

“15…”

Max was acting as if the dagger had not existed.

Max had began counting the seconds ever since he felt his blood freezing.

It was a terrifying skill, and thus, Max doubted that a mere Young Dragon was capable of maintaining it for a long time.

After all, if it were capable of casting it for long durations, the Chromatic Dragons would have been wiped out by the Metallic Dragons a long time ago.

The Silver Dragons would easily rid the world of the Chromatic Dragons!

Even if the magnitude of the gravity applied on him had been reduced by 10 times, Max would not let his guard down. He would have retreated upon realizing he was going against gravity itself.

After all, a decrease in the Gravity Manipulation’s strength would also mean that Avril’s mana consumption would be reduced.

As such, the battle would devolve into a battle of attrition, and in such a case, Max saw it fit to turn tail and run.

Pride of the dragons?

Max cared not of such trivialities!

The only reason he had come to the Moldos Mountain Range was to locate the Dark Snow Lotus Crystal to save his sister Mia! Losing his life here would put all his efforts in vain, and jeopardize Mia’s survival!

Unless there was a clear path to victory, Max would take care of his enemies as soon as possible. However, he was no fool. If his enemy was stronger than him, he would just retreat!

Max’s greatest weakness was prolonged battles, after all!

By using his Invincible Golden Body, regardless of how his opponent’s attack was, Max would be able to tank them for 3 seconds.

At this moment, the razor sharp dagger that was imbued with a terrifying frost aura had already arrived!

The frost dagger pierce through the air and let out a strong sonic boom.

As a result of cutting through the air, the dagger had left behind rows upon rows of snowflakes out of thin air. It would have been a beautiful sight, had Max’s life not been at risk!

Unless Max endured the attack, the dagger and its snowflakes would be the final sight that Max would see in his life!

Max had no intention to die. The moment the Frost Dagger was inches away from him, Max activated his Invincible Golden Body!

A clear chime rang out…

Although it was a soft sound compared to the dragon roars they had exchanged earlier, it seemed relatively loud at this moment, as no one else except Avril was supposed to be able to move at this moment.

Ding!

At this moment, a faint color of gold enveloped Max’s scales!

The divine aura had appeared on Max’s body once more.

At this moment, Max did not look like a newborn Dragon Hatchling, but rather, a Dragon Monarch that held the world in the palm of his hands!

Avril was stunned.

Although she did not understand the sensation she was feeling, it still sent chills down her spine.

‘How can a Dragon Hatchling possess such an imperial aura?’

Had Avril heard of this from other Silver Dragons, Avril would have doubted them.

However, now that Max was standing in full glory before her, she had no choice but to accept it.

In the next moment, the frost dagger touched the scales on Max’s skin.

The scene that was Avril had envisioned just moments ago did not come into fruition. The pale golden glow that enveloped Max seemed nigh indestructible. The razor sharp dagger that she had been so proud of… Had failed to pierce through his defenses.

She dared not question it, as she felt as if this was the natural order of things.

Clang!

The source of the sound was the frost dagger colliding against Max.

As a result of failing to pierce Max, the dagger had dropped onto the ground with a thud.

Despite the dagger’s sharpness, it was extremely fragile, and the moment it touched the ground, it shattered into fine ice shards and dissipated into the air.

Avril’s gaze turned from being dazed, to being puzzled, and finally to being shocked!

It was at this moment that Avril finally realized how Max had withstood her Blizzard Tornado.

What shocked her most was not that Marx had such a terrifying defensive skill, but rather, it was the fact that Max was capable of casting it twice within such a short time frame.

Max was only a Dragon Hatchling. Even if he was born with the talent to turn into an Ancient Dragon, he did not possess such strength just yet.

Such a powerful defensive ability must have come with conditions on its usage.

It would either have a long cooldown time, or it was a skill that needed to consume several precious items just to be used once.

Regardless of which one it was, Max should not have been able to cast it in such short succession.

However, not only did Max subvert her expectations. He had even maintained a calm expression while doing so.

‘Does this mean that he can cast it for a third time!?’

Although Avril had pretty much understood what Max’s defensive ability was, she had grossly underestimated its defensive capabilities. She had assumed it to be at only the Ancient Dragon level.

Subconsciously, Avril had assumed that so long as she had made it into the Ancient Dragon level, she would be able to break through Max’s defenses and damage him.

However, if Max was able to read minds, he would instantly burst her bubble at this moment and tell her the truth of his freakish ability.

Should this realization come to pass, Avril would most likely have fainted.

Although Avril still had 1/5th of her mana remaining, she chose to lift the gravity layers on Max.

Marx did not know what Avril was planning. He continued observing her without budging. He was waiting for Avril to make a move.

A hint of self-mockery flashed in Avril’s eyes.

“I admit, I’m still not strong enough.”

“Had I been an Ancient Dragon like Lord Catherine, perhaps everything would have been different.”

Avril mumbled to herself.

The next instant, a powerful wave of energy was unleashed from Avril.

Max seemed to have realized something, and his expression changed greatly. He shouted, “Not good!”
