The moment Max received his reward, Max could instantly feel a thin golden membrane covering his already tough dragon scales.

Unless one paid special attention, they would most likely not notice anything different about Max..

At this moment, under the glow of the moonlight, Max’s figure was like a giant bronze dragon, one that exuded an imposing yet majestic aura.

“Invincible Golden Body, huh. It truly lives up to its name!”

Max was very surprised by the “slight” change in his body. After all, he was the only person that realized the sheer defensive capabilities of the thin layer of membrane covering his body once it was infused with mana.

Even if the 10 Black Dragons and the human mage, Tahir had joined forces to use their strongest abilities on him, Max would still walk out unscathed! Their abilities would not even make a dent on his Invincible Golden Body’s defense!

Max was now 200% confident that he would be able to take on the Dragon-vanquishing Ballista that sent chills down his spine from before. Heck, at this point, he wagered that he could even take on the projectile while launching his own counterattack at the same time!

‘I wonder how the humans will react once they realize that a mere Dragon Hatchling is capable of shrugging off a ballista shot that is capable of harming Ancient Dragons as powerful as Agatha. I bet it’ll be interesting, to say the least.’

Upon this thought, Max became excited.

However, his excitement only lasted for a moment, as Max immediately calmed himself down.

Although the Invincible Golden Body would greatly amplify his defense and increase his survival rate, it was of little use to Mia, who had a weak body.

Now that he had officially decided to confront the humans head-on, he needed to come up with ways to protect Mia.

‘Should I dig a hole for Mia and have her hide there until I’ve defeated the humans?’

After all, digging was one of the specialties of Red Dragons. Even if they were to dwell underground for a long time, they would be completely fine.

However, Max quickly crossed out the idea. After all, even if she was hidden underground, so long as he was not by her side, he could not completely discount the possibility of accidents.

Marx did not want to lose his sister. After all, she was the only family member he had left.

“Ding Dong.”

“You need not worry, host. The ability, Invincible Golden Body, can also be cast on allies.”

The mechanical voice of the system rang out within Max’s mind.

Max’s eyes lit up upon hearing those words.

‘Holy sh*t, I’m allowed to cast this insanely overpowered spell on my allies?’

“Please note, however, that if the Invincible Golden Body is cast on anyone who is not the host, the duration of the ability will be reduced to 0.25 seconds.”

‘One-fourth of a second?’

‘This is a full 12 times difference!’

Max could not help but click his tongue.

‘Sure enough, there are limitations to its support ability. Otherwise, it is truly a heaven-defying skill.’

‘Although it would last only long enough to take on a single instance of damage. It should be enough for the current situation.’

‘Anti-aircraft weapons have yet to be developed in this world. As long as Mia is high enough in the air, the threat that she will face will be greatly reduced.’

‘At most, I would only need to be wary of mages or powerful weapons like the Dragon-vanquishing Ballista.’

Suddenly, a sharp glint suddenly flashed across Max’s huge eyes.

The two teams of human soldiers that he spotted earlier had begun to approach his lair.

The two teams were composed of fifteen well-equipped cavalrymen. They were maintaining a rather unique formation as they marched forward.

Their formation had made it such that if any unexpected situation were to arise, the other members of their team would If any unexpected situation occurred, the other members of the team would be able to immediately come to help.

The leading soldier was holding an odd little box in his hand. The box seemed to contain a faint trace of magic power. It seemed to be some sort of magic tool.

‘It’s probably something like a signal flare.’

Max thought to himself.

‘This is probably the human army’s scouts.’

‘Should they spot me, or should they encounter danger, they would immediately notify the other teams to gain a better understanding of the situation.’

Had Max not powered up since absorbing the Black Dragon, Adams, Max would definitely have a hard time dealing with the two 30-men scouting teams below him.

However, as Max had already absorbed the strength of the Archmage, Tahir, he could annihilate both teams before their leaders could even trigger their magical signal flares!

“The fact that you’ve decided to encroach on the territory of Red Dragons means that you’re prepared to be slaughtered, right?”

Marx spat coldly.

At the same time, dense lightning began to gather around his claws.

An instant later, two bolts of lightning were launched towards the two squads of soldiers below him!

Everything had happened in a blink of an eye!

Crackle!

“What’s going on!?”

“What happened!?”

“Captain, activate the signal, quickly! We’re in danger!”

“My body isn’t heeding my calls!”

No matter how fast the humans were, they were most likely below a fraction of the speed of lightning. Max had cast the Lightning Paralysis spell on the soldiers. He had robbed them of their ability to resist, and before long, the soldiers collapsed one after another like dominoes.

Forget seeking help, none of the soldiers could even budge a single inch. It was all they could do to lie limply on the muddy ground.

Stomp!

Stomp! Stomp!

The ground shook and sand flew in the air.

Under the faint moonlight, a huge figure that was the size of a small mountain slowly appeared before the soldiers.

The huge wings of the figure slowly spread out. Its scarlet eyes were like dazzling rubies.

Despite that, none of the soldiers could appreciate the beauty of the creature before them.

After all, the creature that approached them was none other than Max!

“It’s a dragon!”

“A dragon has really appeared!”

“Damn it, move body, move!”

Even though the soldiers in front of them were screaming with all their might, their bodies did not budge a single inch.

It was as if their bodies were already dead, and only their souls were still alive.

Marx did not intend to waste his breath on the human soldiers. He opened his mouth wide, and roasted the squad of 30 soldiers before him.

…

“Get up, Mia. I’ve prepared some breakfast for you.”

After finishing off the two squad of soldiers, Max returned to his lair and roused his sister awake..
