Chapter 126: A Massive Gap In Strength! 20 Times the Normal Gravity!
The upper right corner of Max’s vision displayed the remaining time to his Stealth spell.
There were only 10 seconds left!
The concealment spell was about to be dispelled!
Max had only escaped a couple kilometers away from Catherine’s lair.
Worse still, Catherine had already returned to her lair.
Compared to when Max had initially fled from Catherine, the distance between them was now much closer than before.
Max’s heart was beating rapidly. He feared what Catherine would do to him once his Stealth had worn off.
Although the Dark Snow Lotus Crystal was contained within his mouth, it was still giving off powerful waves of frost energy.
Although Max had no need for the frost energy, the same could not be said for Catherine.
The longer Max held the snow lotus within his mouth, the more he understood why Catherine was so furious.
Had the snow lotus come into the possession of a regular run-of-the-mill Silver Dragon, they would likely gain an incredible boost in stats.
Now that Catherine had lost the snow lotus, it was likely that her rate of growth would be greatly reduced. More likely than not, her strength would plateau.
It was for this reason that Catherine had grown furious.
At this moment, Max’s Stealth had completely worn off!
The countdown was over!
The strange spatial fluctuations that covered Max’s scales had disappeared, and Max’s crimson body was laid bare to the the dangerous snowstorm!
Max’s presence was immediately discovered by a terrifying figure!
Sensing that he had been targeted, Max’s pupils suddenly shrank.
A familiar sense of danger appeared within his gut.
His heart was beating wildly, and it felt as if it was about to leap out of his mouth.
The ice energy within the Moldos Mountain Range swiftly gathered around Max.
Max felt as if he were caught within a prison of ice.
Should he act rashly, he would instantly be bombared by the vast ocean of ice energy.
Boom!
Max felt as if he had suddenly gained weight.
Every flap of his wings had taken considerably more effort than before.
Max’s chest rose and fell continuously as he attempted to maintain flight, and his organs felt like bricks.
The surrounding ice and snow had coagulated into large lumps due to the influence of massive gravity.
The name of a certain ability appeared within Max’s mind.
‘Gravity Manipulation!’
‘Not just any Gravity Manipulation, however, this is a multi-fold Gravity Manipulation!’
Moreover, Max knew very well that this was not the final form of Gravity Manipulation!
Had Catherine truly desired, Max would instantly cease to breathe, his organs would instantly be crushed, and he would be smashed into a bloody pulp!
Max wanted to flap his wings again, but he was powerless, his body felt like lead, and before long, he was like a crimson meteor that plummeted rapidly into the ground.
A large amount of snow had been thrown into the air as a result of his impact. As he tried desperately to regain his footing, he noticed that a silver figure approaching him from the distance!
It was Catherine!
At this moment, Catherine’s eyes flickered with an ice-cold glint, and it looked as if she wanted to swallow Max whole.
Catherine did not possess much talent at birth. It was no exaggeration to say that she was beneath even Avril when it came to their potential at birth.
Much of Catherine’s ascension into an Ancient Dragon had been due to great fortune and luck.
Had Catherine trained and developed normally, she would at most make it into the Archaic rank during her lifetime.
However, that all changed once she encountered the Dark Snow Lotus Crystal.
As a result of the Dark Snow Lotus Crystal, Catherine’s weak stats had been stretched to the max, and she had received a major boost in her growth rate.
At present, she was on the cusp of breaking through the first stage of the Ancient Dragon realm.1
With the assistance and the long term supply of ice energy from the Dark Snow Lotus Crystal, Catherine might even get a shot at becoming an Upper Ancient Dragon.
However, now that Max had uprooted the plant, there was no chance of it re-growing again.
Even if Catherine were to retrieve the snow lotus from Max, it would lose most of its potency, making it a decent treasure at best.
Max’s reckless action of uprooting the plant had ruined Catherine’s path of growth!
It was no wonder that Catherine was furious.
Three powerful and biting frost storms gathered from Catherine’s back, and immediately headed straight for Max!
‘Multifold Gravity Increase!’
The gravity that was applied onto Max amplified instantly!
Max, who had almost regained his footing, slammed viciously into the ground as a result of the increased gravity.
This time, as a result of the gravity doubling, many small pebbles on the ground had instantly shattered.
The biting cold frost storms had already arrived!
That terrifying frost energy was not an existence that Max could defend against.
Left with no other choice, Max could only use his Invincible Golden Body to endure the attacks!
A faint golden light enveloped Max’s body. Despite being sent flying by the 3 frost storms, Max had not sustained any major injuries.
Max slowly picked himself up from the ground. His eyes were solemn. He did not say anything as he stared at Catherine.
Naturally, the main reason for his muteness was due to the Dark Snow Lotus Crystal contained within his mouth.
Should Catherine notice it, she would most likely shatter his fangs and take it back for herself.
This was not something that Max wanted to experience.
At this moment, Max was only left with one final charge of Invincible Golden Body.
Realizing that her attack was ineffective, Catherine did not bother using the same attacks again. With fiery rage burning within her, she decided to unleash her ultimate move.
20-fold Gravity!
The ground around Max sank in an instant!
The frozen ground looked as if it had been stomped upon by a massive foot!
Max’s body trembled under the weight!
It was at this moment that he truly realized the gap between them!
Not only did his blood stop flowing, various organs and bones within his body were also being crushed!
Unless he activated his Invincible Golden Body, he would most likely succumb to the gravity and be smashed into a pulp!
Unable to control himself, a golden glow enveloped Max’s body once more!
Max had run out of Invincible Golden Body charges!
Despair enveloped Max’s heart!
