Chapter 20: Master Doesn't Like You
Max also noticed that the old man’s rank was Diamond Rank.
Dragons usually used terms like Ancient Dragons, Adult Dragons, or Archaic Dragon to evaluate their strength.
Humans also possessed an evaluation system of their own.
“Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Obsidian.”
This ranking was in ascending order, and the higher one’s rank, the stronger they were.
Reaching Silver Rank was already the upper limit of an ordinary person.
Those with better talent could reach Gold Rank.
Gold to Platinum Rank was a watershed. There were very few humans who could reach Platinum.
However, the decline from Platinum to Diamond was an even more precipitous drop.
Most humans who reached the Diamond Rank had become a pillar of the human kingdom.
As for the Obsidian Rank humans, they were rare existences that only appeared a few times throughout the history of the continent. However, every time they appeared, it meant that the humans would rise up in a short period of time!
If Max’s current strength were to be measured by the standards of humans,.
It was probably between Bronze and Silver.
He had only defeated the two adventurers from before purely because they had underestimated him. They did not expect a Dragon Hatchling to outsmart them.
‘I’m finished.’
Max thought to himself.
The enemy in front of him, the Diamond Rank powerhouse, was not someone that he could deal with at his current level of strength.
Worse still, after listing all of the human’s stats, the system had also attached a comment.
[ Remark: Thank you for your companionship throughout this journey, let us meet again in your next life. ]
‘Meet again in the next life!’
Even his own system had given up on him!
While Max was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly felt an electric current pass through his body.
The arrow rain formed by the lightning in the sky quickly poured down.
However, Max did not even have time to react.
They were too fast.
They were so fast that even the eyes of a dragon could see them clearly!
Electric currents passed through Max’s body one after another, and Max had no way to escape. He did not even have a place to dodge.
Fortunately, as Red Dragons were naturally resistant to the lightning attribute, the attacks had only left small scratches on him, and they did not cause any real harm.
‘This is merely a demonstration of his strength.’
Max knew that the old man was only toying with him. He did not mean to kill him immediately.
He wanted to use his overwhelmingly superior magic to force Max to surrender.
As the rain of lightning arrows continued to strike him, Max determined that it was time to use the Battle of Existence.
“As you can see, Mother Tiamat.”
“My life has been seriously threatened, and I have no way to overcome this difference in strength.”
“But I have not lost my will to fight!”
“For the continuation of the Red Dragon’s bloodline! For your eminence to forever resound throughout the world!”
…
The Battle of Existence must not be abused. This was something that Max was very clear about.
After all, it was a secret technique from ancient times. At the same time, it was also the fastest way to become a god.
In order to prevent it from being abused, the gods were very cautious about its usage.
The pre-requisite for activating it was that one side needed to be in a fatal threat. Only then, would they be allowed to activate the Battle of Existence.
Otherwise, if they used it casually, they would be disapproved by the gods and they would be punished.
At this moment, Max was forced into such a desperate situation. The Lightning Arrow Rain was powerful, had a wide range, and was extremely dense.
Unless they were a Red Dragon that was naturally immune to lightning, even Ancient Dragons would perish to the attack!
Furthermore, Max was still a Dragon Hatchling that was only a month old!
“I, Max Agatha Hill Alexander!”
“I propose a Battle of Existence to Tahir!”
“I am willing to bet my life, wealth, talent, and even existence on a battle of past, present, and future!”
Following Max’s declaration, the night sky that was originally lit up by lightning arrows instantly dimmed and turned into black and white.
The origin space was independent of the outside world, and everything in there seemed to be stationary.
All the lightning bolts were pushed out by the origin space.
“What’s this?”
Tahir was sure of his victory.
Even if the Dragon Hatchling was extremely talented, it was still just a Dragon Hatchling.
As a race that measured their strength by age, the young dragon was even younger than the average lifespan of a human!
How could it compare to an old mage such as himself.
Tahir could not bear to kill the Dragon Hatchling, as it was an extremely special case.
Through the use of his Wind Speak, Tahir had learned of how the Dragon Hatchling killed his companions.
The Dragon Hatchling had tricked Carvella into thinking that her ballista had struck them, and it had caused Carvella to lower down her guard. As a result, she was scorched to death by a dragon breath.
As for a heavy-armored warrior, Rafik, the young dragon was keenly aware that the ballista was capable of penetrating Rafik’s defense.
It had learned to operate the ballista in mere seconds!
Moreover, its aim was so accurate.
The ballista was one of the top inventions of mankind, a technology that dragons were not supposed to know of!
Yet, the Dragon Hatchling had learned to use it in such a short span of time!
Tahir felt that it was a pity to kill such the Dragon Hatchling, as he would rather take it in as his familiar or disciple.
Therefore, he purposefully used lightning magic, a type of magic that Red Dragons were resistant against.
He hoped to show the overwhelming difference in their strength, and he hoped that the Dragon Hatchling would obediently take up his prior offer.
However, before the Lightning Arrow Rain had ended, his surroundings had turned into black and white!
Tahir looked around in surprise. This was clearly not the world he was familiar with!
“Where is this place! Wind spirits, answer me!”
Tahir continued to ask the wind spirits questions.
However, the wind spirits there refused his question.
The reason was that they were not familiar with each other, so they did not want to pay attention to Tahir.
Tahir was stunned. Wind spirits from all across the continent were supposed to be familiar with his name. It was impossible for them to reject his questions.
“Lightning spirits, heed my call!”
Tahir reached out his hand again, hoping to get a reply from lightning spirits.
Moreover, Tahir had the best affinity with the lightning element.
If even the lightning element were to abandon him, then Tahir was equivalent to a basketball player who had lost his arm! With his weak body, Tahir was no different from an ordinary old man!
“Lightning spirits! Answer me!”
Tahir shouted again.
The lightning spirits did not respond to him.
“Fire spirits! Surround me!”
“Water spirits! Appear in front of me!”!
“Earth spirits! Support Me!”
Tahir panicked and shouted out all the elementals.
However, none of the elementals were willing to respond to him.
“How did this happen?”
Tahir fell down weakly and crumpled onto the ground.
At this moment, one of the elemental spirits finally responded to him.
“We can’t respond to you, Tahir.”
“Because our master doesn’t like you.”
