Buzz!

The ice spear, which was imbued with powerful frost energy, pierced into the

sky!

Wherever it went, a long trail of icy vapor would follow.

Had jet planes existed in this world, it would likely have shown the same effect.

The spear soared dozens upon dozens of kilometers, and yet, it showed no

signs of slowing down. Instead, it seemed to be picking up speed instead!

At some point, the ice spear’s figure was no longer able to be seen. It was a

blur, akin to a flash of icy blue light within the sky!

The distance between Catherine and Max was neither long nor short.

Max, who had already obtained the location of the Dark Snow Lotus Crystal,

was flying at a low altitude.

The distance between Catherine and Max was only less than 100 kilometers.

Thus, it did not take long for the ice spear, which was accelerating throughout

its voyage, to reach Max.

Before long, the ice spear had appeared in the form of a small blue dot in Max’s

periphery.

Max’s eyes narrowed, and he suddenly halted.

For some unknown reason, an extremely dangerous premonition had appeared

within his heart!

This premonition was unlike anything he had ever sensed before. It was

intense, and it warned him of a potentially fatal encounter!

Max looked at the vast expanse of whiteness around him. However, he could

t detect anything of significance.

The next instant, however, the icy blue glow soon magnified within his vision.

Swoosh!

Max’s pupils instantly shrunk to the size of a pinhole. He did not even have the

time to consciously react. Fortunately for him, his instincts honed after the

battles against the monsters in the past had allowed him to envelope his scales

in a golden glow!

Invincible Golden Body!

Bam!

The golden projection that appeared almost instantaneously had forcefully

blocked the powerful ice spear that had come from afar.

Nevertheless, Max’s figure was still sent hurtling over a dozen meters from the

impact of the spear.

He crashed into the snow and remained there for quite some time.

Max’s heart thumped rapidly as he threw out a bunch of profanities.

He had been ambushed, and despite taking the hit head-on, he was unable to

figure out his assailant’s location!

Max climbed up from the snowy ground in a sorry state, his eyes filled with

incomparable solemnity.

It would have been fine if he had known who and where his assailant was. He

would rather be surrounded by enemies than to have his opponent be in the

dark.

Nothing could be worse than the unknown!

Max looked at his surroundings vigilantly and slowly retreated.

As a result of failing to pierce Max’s body, the ice-blue spear of ice had crashed

into the ground and shattered into a pool of ice shards.

Max frowned and looked at the ice shards.

Are these the weapons that I was attacked with earlier?

Max’s heart palpitated as he looked around warily.

Max was familiar with the shards. After all, Avril had used the same type of

attack against him.

Could Avril still be alive? Is she still coming after me, after all this time!?

What a troublesome mess.

Assassins hiding in the dark were much, much harder to face than enemies

that fought in the daylight.

However, Max quickly rejected the idea. After all, the

ice-spear-turned-ice-shards contained a much higher concentration of ice

energy compared to the ice spear that Avril had launched at him previously.

Had Avril been capable of creating an ice spear this powerful, the outcome of

their previous battle would have been tipped greatly in her favor.

More importantly, she would not have self-destructed.

Max looked at the shattered ice spear and tooka deep breath.

‘I still don’t know who attacked me

Max dared not linger in the area. He could not figure out how his assailant had

discovered him, and thus, it was best that he leave the troublesome area as

SOon as possible.

The wings on his back flapped rapidly as Max took off into the distance.

This time, Max chose a more indirect route to the Dark Snow Lotus Crystal. He

circled around and headed towards a mountain ridge instead,

Should his enemy attack him while he was there, he would be able to spot it

immediately and dodge it by using the mountain as his shield.

If Max was considered to be afraid, then Catherine, who was still holing up

within her lair in the snow mountain peak, was absolutely bewildered.

She did not expect that Max, who was only a Dragon Hatchling, to be able to

withstand her attack!

She was an Ancient Dragon!

One that had lived for thousands of years at that!

Her understanding of the ice element was immense, and she could do whatever

she pleased with it.

The attack that she launched earlier would leave an Archaic Dragon half-dead

even if they were able to block it!

Even a Silver Dragon like Avril, who had resistance towards the ice elements,

would not attempt to take it head-on. Instead, she would try to dodge it.

However, what of Max!?

Despite being a hatchling, he was capable of taking her attack unscathed!

It was simply unbelievable!

Catherine had lived for thousands of years, but she had never witnessed such a

feat before.

It took a long while for Catherine to recover from her shock.

The surprise in her eyes immediately turned into a hint of solemnity.

The shock that Max had brought to her was too great. To think that a Dragon

Hatchling was capable of enduring an Ancient Dragon’s attack. Catherine

shuddered upon thinking the future that awaited the Dragon Hatchling

The hatchling must be killed!

At this moment, Catherine revisited the thought she had earlier. It had no

longer seemed as absurd as before.

The fact that it was able to withstand her attack had meant that it was capable

of killing Avril!

Catherine slowly got up and shook off the thick layer of snow covering her

body.

She looked into the distance with a solemn expression. It was the direction that

Max was flying in.

Max had already entered Catherine’s kill list..
