Chapter 74: Stalemate Broken! A Pyrrhic Victory!
At this moment, the sudden numbness caused Bloom to temporarily lose control of his body.
Max waved his razor sharp dragon claws at him. His claws were accompanied by a whistling wind, and it was obvious that it was extremely powerful.
Should an ordinary person be struck by this terrifying attack, a huge hole would undoubtedly be pierced open in their body.
If that were to occur, even a powerful warrior would die instantly.
One had to know that bloom was only an ordinary person. Other than the mechanical arm that he possessed, he was unable to use even the slightest ounce of mana.
it was also for this reason that Bloom was incapable of using the Dragon-vanquishing Ballista. After all, it required mana to be used, and Bloom did not possess any.
Anyone in this situation would be extremely afraid and uneasy. After all, not only were they paralyzed, they were also about to be penetrated in the chest by a dragon!
However, Bloom was different. It was as though he had already expected all of this. A faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he appeared extremely calm.
“It is indeed as I had imagined. The two of you Dragon Hatchlings possess a relationship that is Dragons, possess a relationship is not found in any other dragons.”
“Even the relationship between the average human siblings is not as the both of yours’. I truly envy your relationship.”
“However, everything is still under my control.”
Bloom said calmly. He spoke very leisurely as if he was taking a stroll in the garden and admiring the wild flowers along the path while recalling an interesting story he had heard of.
At this moment, the sound of mechanical gears churning suddenly emitted from Bloom’s mechanical right arm.
It was as if there was something was operating within it. Following this, the glow of his mechanical arm faded, and out appeared a crystal the size of a fingernail.
The moment this fingernail-sized crystal appeared, it emitted an extremely powerful burst of energy!
This powerful burst of energy was something that not even Tahir was capable of achieving!
Max was shocked and he quickly increased his speed. Under his acceleration, his dragon claws had left afterimages in its wake!
Although the Dragon Slayer, Bloom, did not possess any mana, for some reason, Max felt that the transparent crystal was extremely dangerous.
The memories that had been passed down informed Max that the transparent crystal, which was only the size of a fingernail, would pose a huge threat to him.
At this moment, the crystal’s energy enveloped Bloom, and it overcame the paralysis that Bloom had been afflicted with!
Originally, the paralysis would last for 15 seconds. However, if less than 5 seconds, the restriction on Bloom had already been lifted!
Bloom moved once again!
His eyes were filled with confidence!
He would never fight a battle that he was not prepared for. This was his personality.
Without sufficient preparation, Bloom would never make a move. However, once Bloom made his move, he would strike swiftly and lethally, just like thunder. In a way, he was like a certain nocturnal hero from the comics in Max’s previous world.
Thus, the moment Bloom appeared before Max and Mia, it had already meant that his preparations were complete.
Bloom.
His name was synonymous to being extremely cautious!
Bang!
Max’s body was once again sent flying by Bloom’s fierce punch, and he crashed heavily onto the ground.
Only the sound of his body cracking could be heard again. At this moment, even Max did not know how many bones he had already broken.
Roar!
Max roared angrily!
Mia, who heard Max’s roar seemed to understand something.
Max spat out some scarlet chunks.
They were probably his damaged internal organs!
Waves of weakness continuously invaded Max’s body. He felt as if there were waves of demons constantly whispering in his ears.
“You’re already tired, why don’t you rest for good.”
“Don’t you want to have a good rest?”
“Close your eyes and you’ll enjoy a good sleep.”
“You can sleep for a very, very long time, or even forever. Take as long as you like, I won’t rush you.”
Max panted heavily, and his chest constantly heaved up and down.
His claws were already trembling slightly.
He could not hold on for much longer!
In his current state, he could at most hold on for 2 more minutes.
Max wanted to get up from the ground, but he could not find the strength to do so.
He glared at Bloom, his eyes flashing with a hint of viciousness.
Bloom stepped on Max’s head. He once again took out the terrifying cannon that was already filled with the Dragon-vanquishing Bolt from his back and pressed it on Max’s head.
“It’s time to go, little dragon.”
Bloom said faintly and slowly pulled the trigger.
He was not like the other humans, who, once gained the upper hand, would constantly provoke his enemies.
Safety was Bloom’s most important principle, and nothing can be safer than a dead enemy.
Snap!
The firing process had already started within the cannon.
An incomparably strong pressure of death appeared in Max’s heart once again!
He was going to die!
Max shut his eyes tightly.
At this moment, another terrifying bolt of flame struck Bloom from behind.
Boom!
The attack was powerful was incomparably powerful. It had struck Bloom almost instantaneously!
Bloom’s entire body was sent flying at this moment. The cannon that was originally pressed against Max’s head instantly tilted.
Kaboom!
The trigger of the cannon had already been pulled. No one was able to stop the Dragon-vanquishing Bolt from being fired!
In an instant, the muzzle of the cannon flickered with blazing flames!
The Dragon-vanquishing Bolt was fired!
However, due to a slight deviation, the bolt had only struck the root of Max’s wings.
A huge hole appeared on Max’s back.
Countless amounts of blood flowed out from it.
Max’s hard scales were scattered all over the ground.
In the end, Max did not manage to escape the bolt.
However, the silver lining was that the dragon slaying arrow had only hit his wings. Other than depriving him of his ability to fly, it had not posed any other risk.
In the distance, Mia noticed that her brother had narrowly escaped being struck head-on by the Dragon-vanquishing Bolt. Upon realizing this, she heaved a long sigh of relief.
Although Bloom was resourceful and had a powerful mechanical arm, he was still an ordinary person. Unless he had managed to dodge the flame that struck him, the consequences would not fare well for him.
Max struggled to get up from the ground and crawled in Bloom’s direction.
If Bloom had somehow managed to survive, Max would deal the finishing blow.
Bloom was truly a terrifying entity. Even without the assistance of magic, he had managed to inflict such heavy wounds on Max.
There was no way Max would let him go. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!
