With his spell strength, and with the use of Magical Acceleration, Max’s speed could be considered very fast even among Young Dragons.
However, if he was up against an Ancient Dragon, there was literally no contest.
Max had only narrowly survived the 3 ice spears, and he was not yet ready for another wave of attack.
However, in the next moment, a huge figure that was faster than the ice spears could already be spotted from afar.
Before Max could even grasp the newcomer’s aura, it had already appeared before Max.
Whoosh!
The sudden appearance of Catherine brought about a huge airwave that turned the air into a snowy white.
Countless white snow had been swept into the air, and they were floating down from the sky.
Max’s pupils shrunk upon spotting the figure before him.
His heart thumped with fear as he observed the figure with translucent scales before him.
Although Max’s figure was as huge as a small hill compared to a human, in comparison to Catherine, he seemed looked insignificant!
The newcomer was just like Avril, a Silver Dragon!
‘Is it here to exact revenge?’
The thought instantly appeared within Max’s mind.
However, unlike humans, dragons were not particularly attached to their kin. Even if their brethren were killed, they would usually not harbor any more hatred towards the killers than they normally would.
After all, Max’s sister, Mia, was already considered a very strange existence among the dragons.
Max gazed solemnly at Catherine.
“Surprised, hatchling?”
Catherine looked at Max with a trace of glee in her eyes.
Catherine assumed Max to be a bag of endless surprises, but upon seeing him firsthand, she realized that all her worries were for naught.
Max was an ordinary Dragon Hatchling. Even if his body was slightly stronger than an ordinary Red Dragon, it was nothing too special.
After all, regardless of all the entities that he had absorbed, Max was fundamentally a Red Dragon, and at most, the entities he devoured would only give him a boost in stats as well as physical attributes.
Upon coming face-to-face against Max, who looked like he could be crushed within a single claw, Catherine was at a loss.
“Little dragon, before I kill you, let me ask you.”
Catherine stated slowly.
“Did Avril’s self-detonation have anything to do with you?”
Hearing what Catherine said, Max’s mind spun rapidly.
His first thought was that the Silver Dragon before him was unaware about the cause of Avril’s death.
‘However, she also clearly stated her intention to kill me. But I guess that’s normal, seeing as we’re both sworn enemies..’
‘Plus, the pressure she exerts is suffocating. She’s at least 3 times stronger than me.’
‘Even my mother might not be a match for her.’
Max subconsciously took a deep breath. He knew that if he were to truly engage in a life-and-death battle, he would have no chance of defeating his enemy without the use of the Battle of Existence.’
Even if it was just the matter of escaping, Max was not confident that he could escape Catherine’s clutches!
The other party was a Silver Dragon of the Ancient Dragon level!
One had to know that existences that had reached the Ancient Dragon Rank were capable of using innate skills.
Be it Gravity Manipulation or Glacial Mist, they were both equally difficult abilities to deal with.
Max had already used the Battle of Existence many times. Mother Tiamat had strictly prohibited from using multiple times.
It was rumored that in the ancient times, there existed a dragon species that specialized in devouring weaker existences to strengthen themselves. It was for this reason that Mother Tiamat had forbidden the Chromatic Dragons from abusing it.
Thus, unless it was a last resort, Max absolutely refused to use the ability.
The Battle of Existence was like a time bomb. Although it was extremely powerful, it had the risk of exploding and biting back at him at any time.
It was usually inert, but once it blew up, the consequences were definitely not something a Dragon Hatchling like Max could handle.
However, unless he used the Battle of Existence, Max doubted that he could defeat Catherine.
Therefore, Max had only one plan in mind.
To flee!
Indeed, against the tyrannical existence known as the Ancient Dragons, Max’s only choice was to escape.
However, he needed a plan of escape.
If he attempted to flee without a plan in mind, he was certain that Catherine would crush him before he could even blink.
Ordinary dragons, would choose to fight their opponents to death even if they were at a disadvantage.
This was due to the pride of the dragons. Since they possessed the strongest magic talent and physical strength in the world, they were naturally proud creatures.
However, Max was an exception to this rule. Being a human in the past life, he did not share the same bad habits as his kin.
In total honesty, Max regarded the pride of dragons as total bullcrap.
‘Could dignity be eaten?’
‘Could it be used to become stronger?’
‘My life is more important than anything else.’
What Max needed the most at this moment was not the bullsh*t known as dignity, but time.
As long as he had enough time, Max would be able to become even stronger through his system. Even those Ancient Dragons, Upper Ancient Dragons, and Immemorial Dragons would be beneath him once he had realized his full potential.
Catherine looked at Max, whose eyes were filled with vigilance. She enjoyed the process very much.
Killing Max now was no different from stepping on an ant. However, she wanted to know what the little dragon in front of her, who was able to withstand her frost spears, was capable of.
Max had already completely aroused Catherine’s curiosity. However, once Max had unleashed his trump card, Catherine would kill Max.
After all, she did not want to see a genius Red Dragon eclipse all other dragons in existence.
At this moment, Max suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.
The voice was loud and clear, and every creature within a radius of 10 kilometers could clearly hear it.
Max moved!
At the next moment, a bolt of lightning that was ready to be unleashed from Max’s mouth had already condensed, and it was fired towards Catherine!
It was extremely fast!
