Chapter 111: Immense Pressure!

Max’s body was getting heavier and heavier. In just a blink of an eye, Max realized that his blood flow had been impeded greatly!

Worse still, there was no sign of it stopping!

This made Max’s heart sink. No matter how strong his dragon scales were, once his organs had lost their supply of blood, they would immediately stop working!

Max was still clueless as to the blessing that Avril had received from praying to Bahamut, but what he had experienced thus far had shook him to his core.

However, regardless of the fear he felt, he still retained a calm demeanor.

He was still glaring down at Avril, and his eyes were devoid of emotion.

This was much to Avril’s surprise, as she had expected Max to flee immediately.

After all, her declaration to Bahamut earlier had inflicted a huge mental strain on her. As a result of her devout prayers, Bahamut had blessed her with 2 abilities that supposedly only Ancient Dragons could use!

Glacial Mist and Gravity Manipulation!

Although they were only bestowed to her temporarily, it would still double Avril’s strength for as long as the abilities lasted!

Even if Max was capable of becoming impervious to certain attacks, so long as he remained a mortal, he would still require blood to operate!

Gravity Manipulation was an extremely powerful ability. Not only could it strengthen one’s own attacks, it could even suppress and impede their enemies’ movements!

Naturally, using Gravity Manipulation would result in a high consumption of mana.

Even Avril, who had already received the blessing of Bahamut, could only cast it for 3 minutes at most.

If she were to put on amplify gravity by several magnitudes, this limit would be shortened to a couple dozen seconds.

However, these dozens of seconds were enough to restrict Max’s blood flow completely.

Instead of using gravity to crush Max directly, she was instead relying on Max’s own body to bring himself down!

Under such circumstances, how could Max ever hope to be a match against Avril?

Although Max possessed great innate talent, and had possessed strength, be it in terms of physical combat or magic, that surpassed even Teen Dragons, against the force of nature, gravity, Max was utterly powerless.

At this moment, Max could feel his blood flow grinding to a halt.

Avril had already unleashed the highest level of Gravity Manipulation!

Avril had placed 3 stacks of gravity increase onto Max.

The effects did not scale linearly, but multiplicatively!

The gravity that Max was currently enduring was more than 9 times the normal force!

Had Avril actually ascended into an Ancient Dragon, she would be able to apply 5 stacks of Gravity Manipulation!

Once a Silver Dragon had become an Ancient Dragon, very few Chromatic Dragons or Metallic would mess with them. Heck, even the elusive Gem Dragons would think twice before provoking them.

The reason for this was due to their frightening Gravity Manipulation!

Of course, Silver Dragons of Ancient Dragon rank also possessed yet another disgusting ability.

Glacial Mist!

Although the mist would not inflict any substantial damage, it was capable of obscuring the senses of most creatures. It was to the extent that even creatures with a great spiritual connection to the world would get lost under its effects.

Once a Silver Dragon had ascended to the rank of Ancient Dragon, the Glacial Mist would be imbued with a powerful curse!

Any living creature that entered the mist would have their mana rapidly depleted!

With both Glacial Mist and Gravity Manipulation in their arsenal, their strength would be second only to the Gold Dragons!

Although Avril’s Glacial Mist was incapable of depleting Max’s mana, it was still capable of hindering Max’s perception!

The overwhelming Glacial Mist was inching towards Max.

Marx wanted to sense Avril’s presence past the mist, but he was surprised to find that he was incapable of perceiving past the mist with his spiritual power!

Fortunately, the spiritual power of the Red Dragon were weak to begin with. Max was more reliant of his eyesight than anything else.

Regardless, the gravity that was imposed onto him had prevented him from budging an inch!

Every breath he took had filled him with great pain!

‘What should I do!?’

Max racked his brain for ideas.

‘The greatest concern now is to determine what are the drawbacks, if any, for gaining this tyrannical power!’

Max refused to believe that Bahamut would bestow this much power onto a regular Silver Dragon permanently.

If that was really the case, the Chromatic Dragons would have been wiped out a long time ago!

Max needed to determine the weakness of her ability, and he needed to do it quickly! He was certain that she had paid a great price to use the ability, and hopefully, the price would involve her lifeforce!

‘Although Avril has recovered her mana, she does not seem to have gained any additional strength.’

‘In that case, how long would this powerup last?’

‘Is it merely seconds, or would it last for several minutes?’

‘If it only lasts for mere seconds, I’ll be able to hold on. But, if it lasts for minutes, my organs might fail me and I would die from that.’

Clearly, it was the former scenario!

With how much Avril hated him, Max was certain that Avril would slowly torture and toy with him as his organs slowly failed him. She would not have be in a hurry to attack him just like how she was acting in this moment, where she seemed to want to give him a quick death!

Marx deduced that the current Avril was probably even more anxious than he was!

Her mana was rapidly depleting, unless she could finish him off quickly, Avril would be totally exhausted of mana!

Should that happen, Avril will be completely defenseless against Max!

Upon this thought, a hint of madness flashed in Max’s eyes.
