Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A figure suddenly shot out from the dust of the explosion. An incomparably bright mechanical iron fist directly smashed towards Max!

Thud!

A loud thud rang out!

Max’s figure was sent hurtling by a massive force. He was ruthlessly slammed into the sand not far away, raising a cloud of dust in the process.

Max had received a surprisingly heavy blow!

Within the dust, Bloom’s figure slowly appeared.

The explosive barrel that Bloom had used was a highly-explosive bomb that had been specially collected from a distant island. 

Under Bloom’s modification, the sharp thorns that were covered in poison were installed around the explosive barrel had achieved a similar effect to the shrapnel grenades in Max’s previous life.

Moreover, even after his initial success, Bloom did not let up. He immediately rushed up to Max to beat him up.

This caused the already heavily injured Max to receive even more serious damage!

Max could feel that many of his bones had been shattered.

Max was in excruciating agony. His body hurt like mad, and it felt as if there were countless fire ants crawling all across his bones!

The poison had already taken effect.

Max trembled even as he tried to get up. However, before he could even gain his footing, he was immediately sent flying by Bloom’s iron fist!

Max was utterly stupefied.

‘Why is this human completely different from all the other humans I’ve encountered before? He cuts straight to the chase, his movements are swift and fluid, and he’s also extremely eager to finish the job.’

‘What is going on!?’

Max was sure that the middle-aged man before him was only utilizing the brute strength of his mechanical arm to attack him. He could not detect a single ounce of mana being used.

Max endured the intense pain flaring across his body and opened his mouth. A terrifying bolt of Lightning Dragon Breath immediately condensed!

Bang!

Bloom raised his eyebrows and punched the ground once again, immediately dodging Max’s sudden Lightning Dragon Breath.

Max mentally yelped in surprise.

The distance between the two was less than 10 meters. At this distance, Max’s Dragon Breath was supposed to be instantaneous, and yet, Bloom still managed to dodge him.

“Are you very surprised?”

Bloom seemed to have sensed Max’s shock and smiled faintly.

His figure suddenly appeared in front of Max, and he once again punched viciously at Max.

He took out the cannon from his back, loaded the Dragon-vanquishing Bolt into it, and pressed it against Max’s head.

Death!

An incomparably thick pressure of death finally appeared in Max’s heart.

This was a sixth sense that only appeared when facing a fatal crisis.

In order to save Mia, Max had used his last instance of Invincible Golden Body on her.

As a result, Max had lost one of his greatest trump cards, aside from the Battle of Existence.

The Battle of existence required time to be cast. Bloom had already targeted the bolt right on top of his head. He had no chance to resist at all!

The current situation was a dead end for Max!

Not only that, Max had also suffered heavy injuries. Even the slightest movement would cause Max to suffer great pain.

Moreover, he was also assaulted by a constant wave of nausea. The poison was spreading throughout his body, and it was infecting his internal organs.

There was no way out. Max believed that the moment he made a rash move, Bloom would immediately pull the trigger and fire the Dragon-vanquishing Bolt into his head.

“You need around 0.5 seconds of wind-up time to unleash your Dragon Breath. I bet you aren’t aware of this.”

“When that happens, blue veins will appear on your neck.”

“As long as I pay attention to your neck, I will be able to effortlessly react and dodge your attack.”

Bloom said calmly.

“The Dragon-annihilation Missile I prepared for you has yet to be used. What a pity.”

Max remained silent while glaring coldly at Bloom.

This was the first time since his transmigration that he had ended up in such a sorry state. It was also the closest he had ever been to death.

After a long while, Max said slowly.

“Tell me your name, human.”

Bloom heard Marx’s words and smiled.

“I thought the villagers were lying when they said that you could speak the human tongue. I didn’t expect that you, who had just been born, to have already mastered the human tongue”

“My name is Bloom Fredrid Doldia. Usually, people refer to me as Bloom.”

“Are you satisfied now? It’s about time I send you to meet your maker.”

“Once you’re dead, I will use your corpse to attract other dragons.”

Upon learning of Bloom’s name, Max instantly found some memories he inherited from his ancestors.

“Dragon Slayer Bloom.”

“Every generation of Dragon Slayers is referred by this name.”

Max said coldly.

Bloom glanced at Marx and smiled faintly, unwilling to say anything more.

This was his secret. Even though Max was already on death’s door, Bloom still kept his lips sealed.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning slammed into Bloom from behind!

The power of the lightning was not strong, and it could even be considered as extremely weak. The most it could do was achieve a numbing effect.

However, it was enough for the current situation!

This allowed Max to see the light of victory in an instant!

The one who cast the silent spell was his sister, Mia!

Despite the ordeal she had gone through, she still kept her consciousness intact!

While Bloom was beating down Max, Mia endured her pain and condensed her Dragon Breath in her mouth.

Mia knew that if her aim was even slightly off, not only would she lose her life, her brother would lose his too.

Mia was definitely not willing to let her brother die with her!

Thus, Mia took advantage of the Bloom’s lapse in attention and unleashed her Dragon Breath at him!

Since her aim was poor, she widened her shot to make up for it!

The instant that Bloom was paralyzed, Max jumped into action!

Max moved very fast, to the point that most would not react in time.

Even though the pain was excruciating, and his vision was fading… 

Max ignored it all and targeted Bloom’s vital points!

A piercing gale had enveloped his claws!

This was the only chance for the two of them to break out of this situation!
