Chapter 68: Mia’s Position Has Been Compromised!

Boom!

The incomparably powerful dark purple Fiery Fists had caused Max to retreat time and time again.

Gallio’s attacks became more and more ferocious, and a hint of madness flashed in the depths of his eyes.

“Hahahahahahaha!”

“Little Dragon, where has all of your haughtiness gone to?”

“Weren’t you acting all high and mighty just a moment ago? Why can’t you retaliate a single one of my attacks?”

While dodging Gallio’s attacks, Max racked his brain to come up with an idea to deal with Gallio.

However, none of his ideas seemed particularly effective.

Moreover, Max’s sixth sense was also telling him if were to use the Invincible Golden Body to deal with Gallio, he would definitely regret it, as there was an even greater threat looming at the corner.

He was unsure whether he would be able to deal with the incoming threat even with the help of the Battle of Existence.

The situation was starting to look rather bleak for Max.

Gallio’s Fiery Fist was not an ordinary Fiery Fist. Max was certain that he would be gravely wounded if he were to come into contact with it.

Should that ever happen, he might as well be a fish waiting to be sliced up on Gallio’s chopping board.

‘The human army that came after me is almost fully wiped out. All I need to do now is to ensure my own safety, and with that, I’ll finally be able to rest.”

‘After all, the human army has suffered heavy losses in this battle.’

‘Once this is over, it’s likely that I’ll enjoy peace and quiet for several years.”

While these thoughts went on in his mind, Max was continuously dodging Gallio’s attacks. However, his form was deteriorating by the second.

All of a sudden, Max opened his gaping maw and unleashed a ray of lightning!

Boom!

It was his Dragon Breath!

Although it was a rather weak blast, it had done its job, which was to temporarily delay Gallio’s movements.

Immediately after, Max’s wings flapped rapidly, and he soared into the sky.

Although Max did not know what kind of ability or spell the humans had used to increase their strength by burning through their own lifeforce…

After careful observation, Max discovered that once the ability w as activated, they were unable to stop.

In other words, the boost in strength was like an hourglass.

Each moment that passed was a moment closer to death. Once the sand within the hourglass had completely trickled away, all that awaited them was death.

Upon realizing this, Max decided to flee.

‘Dignity of dragons?’

‘Screw that!’

‘I’m a transmigrator, these rules don’t apply to me!”

Although Gallio’s speed had surpassed Max’s due to his boost in strength, after being momentarily obstructed by Max’s Dragon Breath, there was now a great distance between the two of them.

Gallio’s eyes burned with fury once he realized that Max had fled.

“Little dragon!”

“Where are you running to?!”

“I’m already consuming my own life force! By hook or by crook, I will drag you down with me!”

Gallio roared loudly. The enormous wings formed by the black fog on his back directly propelled him forward. After which, he gave chase in the direction where Max had escaped to.

Gallio had used his full speed, and as a result, the distance between him and Max was actually rapidly closing!

This meant that Gallio’s speed had far surpassed Max’s!

Max could feel the wind whistling past his ears.

He did not choose to regroup with Mia. Although Mia’s combat capabilities were still intact, her poor physique and inaccuracy of spellcasting would undoubtedly slow Max down.

Max could not guarantee that Gallio would not use Mia as a hostage.

Thus, the distance between Max and Mia quickly widened.

Mia, who was hiding in the clouds, watched as Max’s figure disappeared into the distance. A deep worry flashed across her eyes.

On the ground, a hidden figure had already noticed Mia’s presence in the sky.

The person’s chin was covered in stubbles and he looked to be in his thirties or forties.

He was carrying a huge bag with many weapons within it.

The middle-aged man’s right hand, which was hidden under his clothes, was so huge that it looked way out of proportion.

“There’s a Dragon Hatchling hiding in the sky, eh.”

The man was Bloom, the Dragon Slayer!

Although the countless broken limbs scattered across the desert had given him a surprise, he did not take it to heart.

He had only a single goal in mind, which was to slay dragons.

“Strange, why couldn’t I detect the presence of Agatha, or the mysterious dragon that killed the Three Heroes?”

Bloom touched his stubble, and a ridiculous idea appeared in his mind.

‘The mother of the two young dragons, Agatha, has acknowledged the two Dragon Hatchlings’ abilities to fend for themselves, and has left the lair!”

If Max were present and he could read minds, he would be greatly shocked.

After all, Bloom’s hypothesis had hit the mark!

Normally, Red Dragons would take care of their children until they were around 10 years old and had the ability to survive on their own. Only then would they choose to leave the cave and separate themselves from their children.

This was how the dragons operated.

However, there were exceptions. If their child was gifted and had the ability to survive at a young age, the mother dragon would not hesitate to leave her children behind early on.

Despite all the bullying that the two Dragon Hatchlings had received, Agatha had yet to appear. If he could take a guess, he dare say that Agatha had already died!

After all, Red Dragons, who were extremely sensitive to magic, would definitely be able to sense such a terrifying battle.

With so many shocking spells unleashed, even if Agatha was at the edge of the desert, she would be able to detect the burst of mana and immediately return to her lair.

However, Bloom was also very impressed by the troops. After all, they dared to attack the Dragon Hatchling before Agatha had even showed herself.

While it was fine if they could take care if the Dragon Hatchlings quickly, should the battle extend for too long, and if Agatha had returned, all the soldiers would most likely perish.

However, Bloom had forgotten one important fact.

With a select few exceptions, Bloom’s knowledge of dragons had surpassed everyone else’s!
