Chapter 120: The Dark Snow Lotus Crystal’s Position!
Max was in a sorry state. However, he still managed to dodge all 3 of the spears and used his large-scale dragon breath to shatter them.
Although the spears were extremely fast, their offensive power was also nothing to scoff at. Once they pierced through an opponent’s wounds, their ice energy would seep into their opponent’s body like poison and freeze them. Fortunately, however, for all the offense they possessed, their defense was equally as weak.
Even a Young Dragon wielded enough power to shatter those spears.
Upon noticing that her spears had done nothing aside from putting Max in a pathetic state, Catherine widened her mouth in shock.
‘Is this... Actually happening?’
‘Is this something that a Dragon Hatchling should be capable of doing?’
‘Every action that it had taken upon spotting the ice spears was impeccable!’
‘Even a Prime Dragon with rich combat experience might not be able to replicate what the Dragon Hatchling has performed!’
‘Even the slightest mistake would cause the spears to penetrate him and seal the frost energy within him!’
Had Max not been a Red Dragon, Catherine might have taken a liking to him.
Heck, had Max been a human, Catherine would leave her lair straight away, tossed him an olive branch, and take him under her wing.
Catherine could not help but regard Max as a combat genius.
She did not know how much of his ancestor’s memories that Max had inherited.
Regardless, Catherine was certain that Max was born with the innate potential to become an Ancient Dragon, and his ancestors, or at least his mother, was an Ancient Dragon as well!
‘A Red Ancient Dragon!’
The two words ‘Ancient Dragon’ themselves were already enough to place a dragon onto a pedestal. There was a 9:1 ratio of Ancient Dragons and non-Ancient Dragons, and to many, the Ancient level was a towering mountain that most would never be able to cross!
Moreover, ascending into an Ancient Dragon would also bestow one with a lifespan that was at least 10,000 years long. Moreover, their offensive and defensive capabilities would also be a cut above their peers.
Aside from that, Ancient Dragons would also unlock unique spells that only they themselves were capable of comprehending. As such, every time an Ancient Dragon was spawned, the power balance among the dragons would undergo an earth-shattering change!
It was unknown how many dragons were actually capable of overcoming their shackles to become Ancient Dragons. More often than not, for all the effort they put in, they would only end up becoming Archaic Dragons, and near the end of their life, their bodily functions would deteriorate and they will eventually succumb to death.
Max, who was born as an Ancient Dragon, could be considered to be on the finish line that countless dragons had dreamed of reaching.
Catherine looked at Max, who was born at the Ancient Dragon level with great envy.
Catherine was not a natural-born Ancient Dragon. She had gone through many trials and tribulations to attain the strength that she had today.
As such, this revelation not only shocked Catherine, it had also made her greatly envious of Max.
The emotion made Catherine’s killing intent towards Max even stronger.
“With this much strength, he might actually be the culprit behind Avril’s death.”
Catherine snorted. The wings on her back flapped abruptly, and her huge figure suddenly soared into the air.
She planned to meet Max personally. The young dragon was born with great combat experience.
Although Max had given Catherine a great shock, in the end, Max was no more than a Dragon Hatchling.
Compared to Catherine, an Ancient Dragon that had lived for more than thousands of years, Max’s strength had paled vastly.
Even if Max possessed heaven-defying abilities, in the end, he was no more than a Dragon Hatchling.
If Catherine was willing, she could easily crush such an existence.
She had simply underestimated Max’s strength earlier.
If not for Max’s unparalleled talent and combat skills, Catherine would never had faced him directly.
After all, as an Ancient Dragon, she could easily squash 2 to 3 Dragon Hatchlings to death.
A casual release of her Ice Breath could easily turn her Dragon Hatchling enemies into eternal ice sculptures.
Despite the huge gap in their power, Catherine still chose to personally fight Max. Catherine seemed to be erring on the side of caution.
However, never in Catherine’s wildest imaginations would she have thought that Max possessed the unfair ability known as the Battle of Existence. Even if she did, she would not have thought that his future self was that powerful.
The instant Catherine stood up, the spot where Catherine’s body was originally at was also exposed under the sunlight.
A frost flower that flickered with a brilliant light appeared at this spot.
Even after Catherine’s departure, the frost flower still emitted an extremely intense frost aura. It was even stronger than the aura that Catherine usually kept restrained!
Just what was the origin of this thing? How could it have an aura comparable to that of an Ancient Silver Dragon?
If Max were present at the scene, he would definitely have cried out in surprise.
After all, the flower itself was the purpose of his trip, it was an essential component to treating Mia — the Dark Snow Lotus Crystal!
It was no wonder that Max was unable to locate it despite his efforts. It was actually hidden under Catherine’s body!
The reason why Catherine chose this location as her habitat was due to the ice energy that the flower had produced.
Even if Catherine never left her lair, the ice energy that the snow lotus would emit would still be more than enough for her to absorb. It was due to this flower that Catherine would enter deep slumbers randomly, as she needed time to refine and absorb the ice energy that was emitted by the flower.
Catherine had discovered the Dark Snow Lotus Crystal several hundred years ago. Throughout this period, Catherine had entered and left several deep slumbers.
As a result of the slumbers, Catherine’s strength had increased by at least 30%.
A hundred years for a dragon was equal to a single human year.
Thus, the fact that Catherine had managed to gain 30% strength just from the snow lotus was simply amazing!
