Chapter 76: A Dragonkin! Battle of Existence!

While Max and Mia were looking vigilantly, the carriage’s door opened in the sky.

Creak…

Although the carriage appeared to be extremely luxurious, when it opened, the sound it made made it sound like an antique carriage.

With Max and Mia’s sensitive hearing, they instantly caught the sound and subconsciously looked at the sky.

A trace of shock flashed across Mia and Max’s eyes upon noticing the carriage.

‘The true enemy hidden was right above us all along?’

The source of the domain had finally been located!

Had the entity in the carriage not made a sound, Mia and Max would have likely spent a long time looking for the source.

The carriage door opened, and an extremely old figure walked out.

It was a old man who was hunched over. His skin was extremely dry, and his eyes were gloomy. His entire temperament was like that of a mummy.

“Kids, please don’t misunderstand.”

“My target has never been you.”

The hunched old man wore a black robe and hovered in the air. His hands were supported by a crutch, and he looked down at Max and Mia from above.

“The two of you were born with the Ancient Dragon talent due to Agatha’s bloodline. Although both of you are indeed very outstanding, you are not worthy of my attention.”

“Perhaps you will be very strong in the future, but this world has never lacked geniuses.”

“The future that awaits you is not necessarily glorious. It is more likely to be full of death and sorrow.”

The hunchbacked old man slowly descended from the sky. The moment Max saw the hunchbacked old man approaching him, his heart became even more vigilant.

Max knew that the old man was incomparably powerful, but he could not put a concrete figure to his strength.

For some reason, the hunchbacked old man gave Max a particularly strange feeling.

The old man clearly had the appearance of a human, but his entire body faintly emitted the aura of a dragon.

Even after searching through his ancestors’ memories, Max still could not find such an existence!

‘Just what on earth is this old man!?’

The hunchbacked old man slowly landed in front of Max, but he did not pay any attention to Marx. Instead, he looked at Bloom, who was very much dead.

The hunchbacked old man extended his mummy-like shriveled arm and removed Bloom’s mechanical arm.

After operating it a few times, the fingernail-sized crystal came out of it and entered the old man’s hand.

“Are you the mastermind behind the human army’s crusade?”

Marx said warily from the side.

The hunchbacked old man glanced at Max, but he did not deny it.

“You are just the victims of this war. It doesn’t make any difference to me whether you are alive or killed by humans.”

“My goal has always been the crystal in this guy’s body.”

Max took a step back and watched as the other party solemnly put the crystal into a magic vessel.

“You have gotten what you wanted. Let us leave.”

Max said.

The hunched old man turned his head and sneered.

“Sorry, kid.”

“Leaving is not an option.”

“Your only choice is to become nutrients for the soil, or become nutrients for me.”

In the eyes of the old man, Max was already a corpse.

The old man’s goal was to silence Max and Mia by killing them after obtaining his crystal.

‘What exactly was that crystal?’

Max could clearly feel that the old man in front of him was extremely powerful. He was even more powerful than his mother, Agatha, and the Black Dragon he had faced back when he was born.

The old man’s strength had probably surpassed that of an Ancient Dragon.

‘Just what kind of existence is he?’

It was at this moment that the old man finally revealed his true face.

Although his face was human, there were a few pieces of broken dragon scales on it.

‘Dragonkin!’

‘The product of the fusion between human and dragon genes!’

In his mind, although there were words describing the current stooped old man, there was no detailed information.

All Max knew was that the old man before him possessed the bloodline of both the dragon and human race.

However, dragons and humans were natural enemies. How could they produce offspring?

This was simply unbelievable!

Max did not believe that there was really a dragon that was willing to lower its pride and have intercourse with the human race.

“Die quietly, kid.”

The old man’s face was emotionless. He slowly raised his right hand and directly grabbed at the air in Max’s direction.

In an instant, a powerful projection of mana solidified before him.

An incomparably huge dragon claw that was made out of mana grabbed in Max’s direction.

The dragon claw was over ten meters tall!

It even surpassed Max’s height!

In front of this huge dragon claw, Max appeared tiny!

Max dared not hesitate and immediately set off to protect his sister. With a pathetic roll, he managed to avoid the dragon claw by a hair’s breadth.

Boom!

A huge crater appeared in the desert!

This was created by the aftershock of the huge dragon claw!

Upon realizing his attack had failed, the old man launched yet another attack!

Max turned his head to look at the terrifying aftershock.

The half-breed Dragonkin’s strength had probably surpassed that on an Ancient Dragon!!

The dragons that ranked above Ancient Dragons were known as Immemorial Dragons.

Although they were a single rank apart, the strength of Immemorial Dragons had far surpassed Ancient Dragons! It was not an exaggeration to say that they existed on different tiers!

They were able to easily control the magic they possessed, and they could even control the elemental energy within the air.

Upon reaching the rank of an Immemorial Dragon, one could replenish their energy from their surroundings at any time. They would no longer fear not possessing enough mana to unleash their magic.

By Max’s estimates, there was an 80-90% chance that the old man had reached the rank of an Immemorial Dragon!

For an enemy of this level, unless he used the Battle of Existence, he simply had no chance of winning.

Not even the slightest chance.

An Immemorial Dragon could crush Ancient Dragons without even breaking a sweat!

Whatever talent, strength, or willpower one had, in the face of supreme strength, it was completely useless.

Max hastily muttered the chant to begin the Battle of Existence!
