Chapter 72: Mia’s Death!?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Max flew at breakneck speeds!
The surrounding scenery flashed past him like lightning!
In less than 2 minutes, Max had already arrived at Mia’s original location.
At this moment, there was nothing but the smell of corpses coming from the countless dead soldiers on the ground.
Max slowly closed his eyes and felt the subtle fluctuations of mana around him.
He did not believe that his sister would disappear into thin air.
After all, the Red Dragons were the dragons that exceled the most in magic. Thus, even if they died, some mana would still linger within their corpses.
Max was confident that even if his sister was transported to any corner of the desert, he would still be able to locate her!
Max slowly searched the ground. Other than the human corpses, Max could not find anything else.
Even the luxurious carriage that Max had spotted before had disappeared.
‘Could my sister’s disappearance be related to the mysterious carriage?’
Max frowned. ‘That would be troublesome.’
He did not have any magic that could transform him into a human. Moreover, with his huge body, he would be attacked by humans wherever he went. It was impossible for him to enter the human world to learn more about the mysterious carriage.
‘What should I do?’
While Max was feeling distressed, he suddenly caught a whiff of his sister’s scent!
However, Max could not sense any mana fluctuations in the direction of the scent.
‘Could Mia be dead?’
Max could not help but think about the worst possible outcome.
‘The other party might have disintegrated Mia’s body and released her scent as bait.’
Max frowned, but he could not afford to hesitate. Thus, he immediately rushed in the direction of the scent.
Max had been very caring towards his younger brothers and sisters in his previous life. Thus, he did not want Mia to suffer any harm!
So long as there was a probability that Mia was still alive, Max would do his best to save her.
Mia’s scent was not far away. In less than half a minute, Max had arrived at the spot where her scent was emitted from.
However, the moment Max entered the place where Mia’s scent was, his pupils suddenly shrank.
His instincts told him that he had entered a domain that was similar to a magic barrier.
Max turned his head and looked at the air behind him.
He lightly touched it with his dragon claw.
Sizzle!
Max’s mana imploded, and as a result, he injured his own claw.
The scales on his claw were slightly chipped, and some blood had flowed out.
Max was shocked.
He was actually injured.
‘What is this magic barrier? Could it be a domain type ability like the fiery domain Felix had used?’
However, at this moment, Max did not have time to ponder on the domain. His priority was to locate his sister, Mia’s position.
Max quickly noticed that there was something that looked like a small mound in the desert.
Mia’s aura had surprisingly come from within.
Max did not hesitate and went forward to check.
Upon gently pushing aside the gravel, Max spotted Mia, who had been tied up and had many of her bones broken. She had been severely injured.
Mia’s eyes were dull, and her body was trembling non-stop.
However, it seemed that due to Max’s arrival, his scent had caused Mia to slowly regain her senses.
The moment Mia noticed Max, she suddenly quivered.
“Brother!”
“Run!”
“This is a trap!”
Upon hearing Mia’s words, Max’s heart sank.
‘As expected, this is a trap.’
‘The rope that’s used to tie Mia’s body is most likely a magic item that conceals one’s mana. Thus, by only revealing her scent, the enemy has tricked me into thinking that she had died, and I would have rushed here without checking for any surrounding traps.’
Beep! Beep! Beep!
An ear-piercing sound suddenly came from beside Max and Mia.
On the ground, there were fifty to sixty barrels of explosives activated!
Moreover, not far from Mia who was tied up, there was a two to three meter long barrel of explosives inserted into Mia’s wound. It was surrounded by spikes made from dragon parts!
These spikes were smeared with plenty of dark purple poison!
This was clearly an weapon that was specifically made to target him and it was similar to a shrapnel grenade!
As long as the explosive was detonated, these terrifying spikes would be instantly sent flying by the powerful shock wave and pierce into his body.
Max cried out in his heart!
‘Who on earth am I dealing with? Are they a remnant of the human army?’
‘If that was the case, why didn’t I notice such an entity in my previous battle?’
‘Could it be someone from the luxurious carriage?’
The barrel of explosives that was filled with spikes was about to explode!
The surroundings instantly lit up with a blinding light!
Boom!
A huge explosion, accompanied by countless spikes, suddenly erupted, enveloping the two of them!
“Invincible Golden Body!!!”
Max roared in anger, and an incomparably resplendent golden film of light suddenly appeared!
However, the film did not appear over Max’s body. Instead, it had enveloped Mia’s!
The powerful defensive ability, which could ignore all attacks below the level of the Dragon God, had appeared over Mia’s body!
However, since it was not cast on Max’s body, it could only last for 0.25 seconds!
This duration was not long enough to completely block out the shrapnel from the explosion!
Max gritted his teeth and directly pounced on Mia’s body!
Stab! Stab! Stab!
Countless sharp thorns directly pierced into Max’s body.
The explosion only lasted for a second, but the sharp spikes that burst forth lasted for a full 3 seconds.
Once the explosion had ended, Max had turned into a hedgehog.
Cough!
Max directly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!
It was obvious that he had suffered grave injuries!
At this moment, a figure suddenly shot out from the dust of the explosion.. An incomparably bright mechanical iron fist smashed towards Max!
