Back to 15 minutes ago…

When Max was still fleeing from Gallio’s clutches.

After blasting Bloom’s inferior Dragon-vanquishing Bolt out of mid-air, Bloom, who had already left his hiding spot, met her gaze.

Bloom was carrying a huge cannon on his back, and he was wearing an ordinary vest.

His modified mechanical arm emitted a dazzling light.

It shone like a star.

Mia did not know what was driving the mechanical arm, but she did not feel any mana coming off of it.

However, Mia felt a great sense of danger from it.

‘The power of this thing is terrifying!’

Mia took in a breath of cold air and stared at Bloom’s mechanical right arm.

Bloom smiled faintly. She knew that the little Dragon Hatchling before him was sizing up his mechanical arm. However, he was not kind enough as to properly introduce his ability to the prey that he was about to slaughter.

The mechanical arm was personally made for him by the person who saved his life.

Bloom, who was originally just an ordinary person, could easily exert force of over several thousand newtons with the support of his mechanical arm.

They were powered by the shell of a strange creature that lived underground, the Crystal Scorpions.

This Crystal Scorpions were an extremely long-lived creature that had existed since ancient times. There was almost no description of them in the long river of history.

However, Bloom knew that the creatures’ strength was extraordinary. They were the size of a castle, and their shell was enveloped with a dense layer of energy.

The shell that drove his mechanical arm was only half the size of a fist.

However, Bloom knew that this was only a small part of the extremely large Crystal Scorpion.

As a result, at one point, Bloom had diverted some of his enthusiasm towards slaying dragons into researching the Crystal Scorpions instead.

No one knew why Bloom had vanished at one point.

The rumor that was spread among the people was that Bloom had encountered an extremely powerful ancient dragon, and he had fallen to it.

In truth, however, Bloom had encountered a Crystal Scorpion that had been hibernating for over thousands of years.

That particular scorpion was capable of destroying the world with just one breath!

It was also because Bloom had gotten too close to it that he had lost his arm!

…

Bloom made no unnecessary movements as he launched his attack at Mia.

Mia’s lack of knowledge regarding him was his greatest weapon!

Bloom smashed his fist into the ground. The huge recoil caused Bloom’s body to soar into the sky, and his figure was heading directly towards Mia!

Mia was startled. She hurriedly planned to use her magic to counterattack.

However, before she could even condense lightning in her mouth, Bloom’s iron fist had already slammed into her!

Boom!

A heavy iron fist slammed into Mia’s snout.

Mia’s casting process was halted, and she cried out in pain. She waved her claws randomly in an attempt to scratch Bloom.

However, Bloom had already seen through Mia’s attack. He easily lowered his body, dodged Mia’s attack, and threw another fist at Mia’s feet!

Crack!

In an instant, the sound of bones breaking could be heard.

Mia’s entire body trembled. She fell to the ground and writhed non-stop.

Bloom, who had a wealth of experience slaying dragons, did not have much trouble dealing with Mia, who was completely unfamiliar to fighting.

Bloom’s moves were very simple, but they were also effective.

No extraneous movement was contained in his attacks.

Less than a minute had passed since Mia’s discovery of Bloom and her defeat!

Th terrifying efficiency would probably shock even the Three Heroes if they were still alive.

Bloom took out a rope from his waist. This was a rope soaked in a special material. Even if an ordinary ferocious beast were to go all out, it would be difficult for them to break free.

Mia had already lost her ability to fight. Thus, using the rope to tie her up was perfectly fine.

In order to prevent any accidents from happening, Bloom shattered the bones within Mia’s wings.

Roar!

Mia cried out in pain. A hint of confusion flashed across her eyes.

‘Am I really that weak?’

The person who had defeated her was not even a mage. He had merely used a mechanical arm that could use strange powers to easily deal with her.

On the other hand, her brother had only been born a little earlier than her, and yet, he was able to withstand a hundred thousand human troops and even kill them all.

‘I truly am a weakling.’

‘Surely, my presence here is only a burden to my brother.’

‘As expected, I’m better off dead…’

Should Max come into harm’s way because of her, Mia would never forgive herself!

Once she was gone, Max would no longer have to worry about protecting her.

‘Mother must’ve left us because I was too weak!’

A deep despair flashed in Mia’s eyes.

She did not want to live in this world anymore.

She despised herself.

‘Why was I born so weak? Why must I be protected to survive in this cruel world?’

‘Why was I born a Red Dragon instead of a Black Dragon?’

In the end, Mia had given up thinking.

She no longer cared.

She knew that she was about to be executed by the human, and her body parts would be fetched for a high price.

However, Bloom had other plans.

He had not seen Max’s figure yet. He had observed the two hatchlings for a very long time, and he had already grasped most of their habits.

Bloom was 80% sure that should Max realize that he had kidnapped Mia, he would definitely come to rescue her.

With that, his operation could finally begin.

Bloom turned his head to look at Mia, who was on the verge of death, and a hint of excitement flashed across his eyes.
