Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The powerful blast of lightning shot forth from Max’s mouth!

It was blazingly fast!

It was the Lightning Beam that Max had learned after devouring the Immemorial Dragonkin.

Although the power of the Lightning Beam was no match against Thunderous Divine Retribution, its greatest advantage was that it had consumed much less mana, and it had a greatly reduced cast time. So long as one was used to it, they could cast it almost instantaneously.

Most spells could not be cast spontaneously.

Regardless of Thunderous Divine Retribution’s power, it was no match for Lightning Beam’s practicality, especially since Max’s spell strength was still insufficient to make optimal use of it.

At this moment, the distance between the two dragons was less than a dozen meters.

At such a range, Max’s attack could be considered instantaneous.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, the Lightning Beam was already right before the Ancient Dragon, Catherine’s eyes.

However, there was not a trace of fear to be found in Catherine’s gaze. Instead, there was a demeaning glint within them.

To the Ancient Dragon Catherine, Max’s Lightning Beam was a puny ability that was incapable of breaking through her defenses. She doubted that it could even scratch her scales.

This was in spite of it being an unbelievably powerful ability at Max’s age and rank.

Catherine did not have the slightest intention of dodging, and instead, she took Max’s Lightning Beam head-on.

Bzzzz!

The lightning clashed against Catherine’s gleaming scales and let loose a dazzling radiance!

Despite noticing that his attack was ineffective against Catherine, Max was not discouraged by the slightest. Rather than being discouraged, Max widened his maw and unleashed another blast of lightning!

It was Thunderous Divine Retribution!

An intense halo of lightning suddenly bloomed at this moment. It was to the extent that even Catherine had to admit that its power was quite extraordinary.

Unfortunately, the gap in Max and Catherine’s strength was far too great. Had Max been equal in rank to Catherine, the move would have caused substantial damage to Catherine.

Meanwhile, Catherine was reconsidering Max’s involvement in Avril’s death.

Despite being only a Dragon Hatchling, she was certain that Max’s current move was capable of piercing Avril’s defenses, even though the latter was a Young Dragon.

Catherine mentally snorted upon this thought. Powerful frost energy began gathering before her as she shielded herself against the lightning attack that was launched at her.

The lightning scattered, and Catherine had completely nullified Max’s strongest attack in a single move.

The two powerful energies that collided and interweaved, had caused the white snow on the ground to be swept into the air. Before long, both parties’ vision was obscured by a cloud of whiteness.

At this moment, Max’s dragon roar suddenly rang out from within the snowy veil.

His voice was that of anger. It was as if he was unwilling to accept the huge difference in strength between the two.

Following that, Catherine could feel the energy contained within the air gathering rapidly!

It felt as if Max was gathering his mana to fire off his strongest attack at her!

An undetectable smile flashed across Catherine’s eyes at this moment.

Catherine had been waiting for this dragon roar from Max for a long time.

The gap between the two was massive. Had Max continued remaining calm and composed, Catherine would have thought that there was something amiss.

Moreover, the angrier Max got, the more satisfied Catherine would become.

Catherine was a conceited dragon. Had she used her full strength and devised all sorts of methods to deal with a mere Dragon Hatchling, being the Ancient Dragon she was, she would have never forgiven herself.

As such, Catherine refused to use any of the abilities that the Ancient Silver Dragons possessed, namely, their power over gravity and the Glacial Mist.

However, once the veil of snow had dissipated, Catherine froze.

Max had disappeared!

‘What is going on?’

‘Wasn’t he going to attack me just now?’

The giant dragon stood in a daze as she observed the emptiness before her.

A strange thought appeared in Catherine’s mind.

‘Could he have run away in fear?’

‘Impossible!’

‘That’s absolutely impossible!’

‘Even though he’s a vile Red Dragon, he’s still a dragon through and through. No proud member of the dragon race would flee before even sustaining an injury!’

Despite being mortal enemies, Catherine still acknowledged the pride they both shared as dragons. As such, she could not believe Max to flee on his own volition!

Never in Catherine’s wildest dreams had she envisioned such a scene occurring!

The ice energy around Catherine suddenly spread in all directions as she frantically searched for Max’s presence.

Catherine was a formidable dragon. Under her manic spread of her mana, she soon located Max.

At this moment, Max was flapping the wings on his back at full speed. At the same time, he was also using Magical Acceleration to raise his speed to the max!

Max had already fled over a dozen kilometers away!

Catherine’s eyes were wide open, but there was still a hint of disbelief in her eyes.

‘He really fled!’

‘He went all out, without any hesitation!’

‘Where is your dignity? Aren’t you a dragon!?’

‘Shouldn’t you fight me to the death?!’

Catherine was stunned for a good while, and as a result, she had missed the best opportunity to go after Max.

Max turned back to look in Catherine’s direction. There was at least a dozen kilometers of distance between them.

As a former human, Max did not share the arrogance of his brethren.

What was the point of going against an opponent that he could not beat? Would running not be better than dying

Max valued his own survival before all else.

As such, he could easily toss aside the useless pride of the dragons.

Nevertheless, despite the distance that he had put between them, Max dared not slow down for even a second. He was not out of the woods just yet!
