Reincarnated as a Red Dragon, Discipline Makes Me Stronger!-Chapter 112 - Frost Dagger!
Chapter 112: Frost Dagger!
A hint of insanity flashed in Max’s eyes!
He was making a huge gamble!
He was gambling that Avril’s mana will deplete before his organs had fully shut down!
Naturally, Max would not have made such an inane bet unless the scales were in his favor.
After all, he possessed the ability to resist all damage below the rank of Dragon God for 3 seconds, the Invincible Golden Body, and he could use it for 2 more times!
Each instance of Invincible Golden Body would imbue him with 3 seconds of invulnerability!
Thus, it had equated to 6 total seconds of invulnerability![1]
Max reasoned that 6 seconds was more than enough time to weather the threat he was facing…
Moreover, as long as he was protected by the Invincible Golden Body, even if Avril had suddenly amplified the crushing gravity to 100 times the normal force, it would mean nothing to Max!
The Invincible Golden Body was for most intents and purposes, truly invincible!
There was no existence below the Dragon God that was capable of harming Max while under the effects of Invincible Golden Body!
How could any other mortal possess a skill more powerful than this?
…
As Avril gradually approached Max, doubt began settling in her heart as she noticed that Max’s expression had remained unchanged throughout her approach.
Through the blessing of the Dragon God, Bahamut, Avril had fully recovered her mana, and she had gained abilities that would usually be out of her reach.
Despite this, the vile Red Dragon before her was completely unfazed.
Avril’s thoughts raced as she thought back on her fight with Max.
The first memory that came to mind was Max remaining unscathed despite taking on her Blizzard Tornado head on.
The moment this recollection appeared, Avril’s heart skipped a beat.
A terrifying thought appeared in Avril’s mind.
‘Is he capable of ignoring my Gravity Manipulation!?’
The thought had subconsciously come to her mind.
In truth, she was certain that that was not the case.
Throughout all the powerhouses that had existed since ancient times, there had been many that were immune towards the elements. However, there had never been a being that was capable of ignoring the natural forces!
After all, the elements were a power bestowed by the spirits, and through research or by having a deep connection to these spirits, one was capable of neutralizing the elemental magics.
However, the natural forces were a different case. They were a force of nature, a fundamental rule to the world they lived in!
Furthermore, Max was merely a newborn dragon that had yet to master the elemental magics. How could he possibly ignore the fundamental forces that governed the world!
‘Even the great Dragon God, Bahamut might not be capable of such a feat!’
As her thoughts ran wild, Avril suddenly realized that her mana, which had been restored by Bahamut, was depleting at an alarming rate by the Gravity Manipulation!
It had only been mere seconds since she stacked the gravity layers!
Avril could not help but feel a little anxious.
At the rate in which her mana was depleting, her mana would last her for a little over 10 seconds before it was completely exhausted. Once that happened, she would once again become a punching bag for Max!
Avril’s gaze focused, and a hint of killing intent flashed in the depths of her eyes.
Although she could not hold out for much longer, the Red Dragon, Max, who had been suppressed by several layers of gravity, was standing right in front of her!
He was sieged by forces both internal and external, and she was certain that he had no more strength to resist her!
10 seconds was more than enough for her to kill the defenseless Max!
With this thought in mind, Avril no longer hesitated.
‘When else would I get the opportunity to kill him if not now!?’
‘Will I just stand idly by and watch as he breaks free from my Gravity Manipulation and attacks me again!? Nay!’
Ice energy began condensing before Avril!
A bone-chilling cold coalesced to form an exquisite frost dagger
Several complicated patterns were engraved on the dagger. It did not seem like something that Avril had crafted haphazardly!
At this moment, information of the dagger had appeared in Max’s mind as a result of his ancestors’ memories.
Fredric’s Frost Claws!
It was a dagger imbued with powerful magic, and it was comparable to the divine weapons that the humans possessed!
Regardless of how powerful the weapon was, however, it had a major drawback.
It could only be used once,
However, during that single instance of use, the dagger was capable of piercing even the toughest of dragon scales as if were cutting butter with a red-hot knife,
Once pierced, the ice energy contained within it would be unleashed. Unless one was an Ancient Dragon or of higher rank, they would be consumed by its freezing ice energy!
Even an Ancient Dragon would be gravely wounded by such an attack!
Normally, no one in their right mind would use the dagger as it cost a lot of mana to create. Worse still, it did not possess the lock-on attributes of many other spells.
As such, missing the frost dagger would oftentimes be a costly, if not lethal, mistake.
However, Max was immobile at this moment. After all he had allowed Avril to approach him without lifting a single finger.
As such, Fredric’s Frost Claws were the perfect attack for Avril to launch.
The frost dagger condensed in front of Avril and levitated in mid-air.
Avril had no intention of letting Max go. She would rather expend more mana than to let Max go scot-free.
“Go to hell.”
Avril snorted. At this moment, the distance between the two dragons was less than 10 meters. 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com
Should Avril miss here, she might as well kiss her life goodbye.
The dagger that contained a powerful frost aura shot forward!
Despite this, Max looked at the incoming dagger with a fearless expression!
