Chapter 75: The Mysterious Carriage Appears! Fear Strikes Once Again!
It was only a distance of 200 meters, but it had taken Max 5 minutes to drag his battered body to reach Bloom’s side.
Most of Bloom’s skin had turned into charcoal. Except for his right arm, which was still unharmed and good as new.
At this moment, Bloom shared the same thoughts as Max. He was on his last breath, and he had completely lost his ability to fight.
Despite all his feats, Bloom was still a human. As he did not prepare any countermeasures to Mia’s sneak attack, he had taken the full brunt of her attack.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Bloom’s lips, which were already charred, spat out a few words with difficulty.
“How… Did you do it…”
Max frowned. He did not understand what Bloomwas trying to say.
However, he had already placed his huge claws on Bloom’s neck.
Max’s dragon claws were extremely sharp. At this moment, they were placed on Bloon’s neck. With just a little strength from Marx, they would be able to pierce through Bloom’s neck and end Bloom’s life instantly.
“Indeed, I have underestimated your ties.”
“I thought that all of you would flee in the face of such a crisis.”
“However, none of you did so. Instead, you chose to work together to overcome this crisis.”
“I also know that I won’t be able to hold on for much longer in my current state.”
“Before I lose consciousness, can you answer my final doubt?”
“Why was that weak little dragon able to survive my explosion?”
Once Bloom had finished speaking, he looked at Max and waited for his answer.
“I’m sorry, but this is my own secret.”
With that, Max stabbed his claws into Bloom’s throat.
The Dragon Slayer that everyone had sung about for a whole generation had now died at the hands of a Dragon Hatchling.
Max shook his head helplessly.
‘Why didn’t Mia flee upon realizing the threat she was up against?’
‘Was it because she could not leave at all?’
‘Perhaps the barrier has prevented her from escaping. She might’ve suffered from the backlash of her own mana.’
‘Under these circumstances, even if Mia wanted to escape, she could not.’
Suddenly, a thought came to Max’s mind.
He quickly turned to look at the dead Bloom.
As expected, not a single ounce of mana was coming off of him!
‘He doesn’t have any mana!’
‘And he isn’t using any magic tools!’
Max gasped upon this realization.
A great sense of danger gripped his heart once more..
‘This area has been sealed off by a domain. In order to achieve this, one must either cast a spell or use a magic tool.’
‘Plus, this domain is on a completely different tier from the one Felix had used to contain me. This particular domain can cause my mana to backfire on me.’
‘This kind of high-level domain could not have come from a magic tool!’
‘The person who had cast this domain isn’t Bloom, but someone else!’
‘Otherwise, why would Bloom think that Mia would flee?’
Max turned around with difficulty and cut the rope on Mia’s body with his sharp claws.
The injuries on Mia’s body were just as bad as Max’s.
Max checked the injuries on Mia’s body. There were 26 broken bones, and her internal organs had also suffered great injuries.
They would need a long time to recover from these injuries.
However, he was not worried that their injuries would leave any scars. After all, the dragons possessed a strong physique and a powerful seal-healing ability.
As long as they replenished sufficient nutrition and rested, they would recover.
However, should they lose their wings, tails, or limbs, there would be no hope to regain them.
If they did not foresee any special heavenly and earthly treasures or elixirs, it was likely that they would leave behind permanent sequelae.
Although both Max and Mia’s wings had been severely injured, they were still functional.
As long as they could endure through their weakest moment, Max and Mia would be able to fly soon enough.
Marx looked at the domain’s boundary that was invisible to the naked eye.
The boundary was currently blocking Max’s escape route.
Upon touching the boundary of the domain, the mana within one’s body would go out of control and lash out at its owner.
If the magic power was too great and the body was weak, the body might turn into a bomb and explode.
Bloom did not have any mana within his body, and thus, he would not be affected by the domain.
‘This is a two-layered trap!’
Max’s brows were tightly knitted. His real enemy was hidden deep in his midst!
So much so that up until now, Max had not even seen who he was facing against!
“Come out.”
Max said coldly.
Although Max was extremely exhausted, and there was the possibility of him collapsing at any moment, his voice was still strong and demanding.
Max’s voice resounded throughout the entire domain, and it continuously echoed within it.
Mia followed closely behind Max before asking him carefully.
“Brother, is there any other problem?”
Max protected Mia behind him and said softly, “Our real enemy hasn’t appeared yet. You should have already noticed that the magic surrounding us isn’t something that Bloom set up.”
Mia exclaimed in her heart, ‘The enemy is hidden so well!’
The 100 thousand strong human army, the 3 great generals, and Bloom the Dragon Slayer had already been dealt with. However, the battle was still far from over.
“Brother, did the army from before set up this domain?”
Max shook his head.
“They should be from different forces. Otherwise, they would not have sent themselves to their deaths.”
While Mia and Max were talking, the luxurious carriage hovered in the sky above them.
Within it, a terrifying magic power that was like a black hole caused the surrounding scene to tremble!
