Noticing that the human army had already sensed something was amiss, Max snorted coldly in his lofty position in the air.

“It’s time.”

“Mia, assist me, but remain in the sky. Unless I’ve given my permission, you are not allowed to leave the protection of the clouds!”

Max turned around and told Mia. His tone was extremely strict, and he left no room for her to refute him.

Mia nodded. She too, had realized how dangerous the Dragon-vanquishing Ballista was.

Without the thick clouds to obscure her presence, Mia would most likely be immediately discovered by the 100-thousand-strong human army.

Even her mother, Agatha, would be at a great disadvantage against such a terrifying weapon.

Should the Dragon-vanquishing Bolt ever land on Agatha, she would most likely be taken out of the fight. However, due to the her proud nature, she would not flee, and as a result, the only thing that awaited Agatha would be death.

If such a weapon was capable of taking down a powerful being like Agatha, how would the weak and frail Mia end up? Mia was certain that she would not survive the impact from the Dragon-vanquishing Bolt.

Mia knew that if she were to attack the humans now, she would only be able holding back her brother, Max. This was in spite of her ancestors’ memories telling her not be a coward.

After all, she owed her life to her brother, and thus, she did not mind suppressing her instincts to obey his orders.

Mia nodded, and a hint of nervousness flashed in her eyes.

“Brother, you have to be careful.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t fight a battle that I’m not confident in.”

“Just stay in the sky and watch how your brother defeats these lowly humans. Once we’re done, I’ll treat you to human barbeque again.”

Following this, Max then concealed his presence as he flew towards the direction of his lair.

Max flew at breakneck speeds. In terms of flight speed, Red Dragons were slower only to Black Dragons who possessed strong physiques, as well as Silver Dragons. However, as Max had absorbed the power of a Black Dragon, Max current flight speed had far surpassed the limits of ordinary Red Dragon Hatchlings.

An average human would only be able to catch a blur if Max were to fly past them at his greatest speeds.

This, compounded with the fact that it was raining cats and dogs in the desert, had made it easy for Max to avoid the humans’ line of sight.

Whoosh!

In less than ten seconds, Max had arrived at the lair from his original position which was over a thousand meters high in the sky!

“What!?”

“What on earth was that?!”

“Its speed is really too fast. Our naked eyes weren’t able to notice it at all!”

Nevertheless, one of the Platinum Rank soldiers had caught site of Max’s figure. Upon realizing that they were up against a dragon, his pupils instantly shrunk to the size of a pinhole.

“Everyone, we are now on a Level 1 Alert!”

The soldier immediately shouted. However, as his rank was not as high as the acclaimed generals of the army, most of his comrades did not budge at all.

“Who do you think you are, Tucker?”

“You are but a Middle-grade Squad Leader. Even if your strength is slightly above ours, you are far too arrogant! Do you think that just because you’re stronger than us, you can order us around?”

“Don’t think just because Sir Calsus, Felix, and Gallio are gone, you can take the lead here.”

At this moment, a bunch of disdainful eyes were trained on him

After all, among the 100 thousand human troops that had gathered, only a minor few had come from the Imperial City. Most of the human troops present had belonged to the various lords of the nation. They had only participated as a token of their lord’s goodwill towards the old king.

As a result, aside from the cream of the crop, Calsus, Felix, and Gallio, the soldiers refused to submit to anyone else.

A hint of despair flashed in the eyes of this Middle-grade Squad Leader named Tucker.

‘It’s too late!’

‘That was clearly a dragon!’

‘This group of idiots have no idea as to what kind of being has just flashed past us!’

The torrential rain continued to lay siege to the desert.

However, the rain was not the soldiers’ only enemy. Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, the soldiers who were stationed outside the lair’s entrance had been turned into mincemeat by Max’s viciously sharp claws!

Spurt!

Fresh blood shot out like fountains. The entrance to the lair was now dyed in deep crimson.

Whoosh!

The direction of the wind in the cave had changed!

At this moment, Calsus sensed something. He immediately pulled out a greatsword from his back and brought it in front of his chest.

“Everyone, prepare for battle.”

“Something has entered the cave and is approaching us at an extremely fast speed!”

Calsus’ voice was like a heavy hammer, and it startled everyone present to attention.

“Squads manning the Dragon-vanquishing Ballista, hurry up and load the second Dragon-vanquishing Bolts! Do it as fast as possible!!”

“Otherwise, it will be too late!”

“It’s a Red Dragon!”

In truth, Felix was the first to learn of the situation outside the lair with the use of his Wind Speak. He was utterly dumbfounded by how powerful Max was.

After all, the soldiers standing guard were elites who were armed to the teeth!

Unless they had encountered a creature that was beyond an Ancient Dragon in strength, they should not have been slaughtered this quickly without the use of magic!

However, Felix had witnessed the truth with his very own eyes. All of the soldiers who had perished were victims of the dragon’s claws, and nothing else!

The dragon had executed the soldiers in one swift move. It had no extraneous movements in its attack whatsoever.

To Felix, it looked as if the dragon was swatting at mosquitoes, in other words, an effortless task.

‘This isn’t Agatha, such strength should belong to a Black Dragon instead!’

At this moment, the two squads that were in charge of loading the Dragon-vanquishing Ballistae had heard Felix’s orders and immediately set off to work. Although their bodies were shivering from terror, they still hurriedly loaded the ballistae.

However, at this moment, the rapidly advancing black shadow had already closed in. To them, the black shadow as like devil incarnate!

“Quick, target the entrance of the lair!”

Felix roared.

“These people are hopeless. You’d better focus on protecting yourself instead, Felix.”

Gallio snorted coldly as he took out various alchemy reagents from his pocket.

Calsus remained silent. However, judging from his expression, he seemed to agree with Gallio’s words.

Felix initially wanted to refute. However, just moments later, the black shadow had already arrived in front of them!

Max did not hold back at all!

Terrifying thunderbolts were rapidly condensing in his mouth!

The thunderbolts glowed a regal purple, and they were like dangerous snakes that constantly slithered in and out of Max’s mouth. They threatened to burst out at any time to obliterate everything before them!

Dragon Breath!

Thunderous Divine Retribution!
