Boom!

The terrifying explosion brought up countless grains of sand, causing countless soldiers to cough violently.

The grains of sand that were blasted into the sky by the powerful impact blocked everyone’s line of sight, making it impossible for most of the soldiers to open their eyes. As a result, they were unaware of what was transpiring on the battlefield.

As the dust gradually dispersed, the situation on the field was finally made clear to all.

The Flames on Felix’s body were still burning fiercely. The attack earlier did not seem to consume much of Felix’s strength.

On the other hand, Max did not seem to be holding up well.

The backlash as a result of continuously unleashing Thunderous Divine Retribution was not something Max could withstand at the moment.

Moreover, as it had not been long since his last use of the Thunderous Divine Retribution, his mana reserves were running low. Due to this, the power of his second Thunderous Divine Retribution was greatly reduced. Right after deflecting the Fiery Fist, it immediately vanished.

Max gulped.

‘These guys are fierce.’

Felix alone had already given enough trouble to him. However, there were still two monsters who were standing by and watching.

Max was certain that the moment he showed any weakness, the other two generals would immediately lunge at him.

The circumstances that he was in this time was different from when he encountered the three heroes. Previously, Max was fortunate enough to pick them off one by one, but now, Max was facing against a 100-thousand strong army!

The only silver lining he had for him, however, was that Mia’s position had not yet been exposed.

Should he really be in a precarious spot, Max was certain that Mia would provide him support from the sky.

However, there was also the issue of Mia’s accuracy, which was horrendously awful.

You’re able to take on my Fiery Fist, not bad, dragon. How about two, three, no, five of them?!”

Felix snorted coldly and glared at Max.

Felix was extremely furious. Unless he was able to kill Max today, he would most likely be haunted by his failure throughout the rest of his life.

The desire to launch yet another Fiery First ignited within Felix’s mind.

However, why would Max fall for the same trick again?

Through the assistance of the system, Max had already figured out the weakness of the Fiery Fist.

Although the Fiery Fist was extremely powerful, did not consume much energy, and could be released many times within a short period, its greatest weakness was that it had limited range.

Once the distance between the caster and its target exceeded 100 meters, the power of the Fiery Fist would be greatly reduced.

‘Do you really think that I’m that big of an idiot that I would attack you head-on here?’

Max mentally spat as he prepared to leave.

‘Although I can’t match your strength currently, I SHOULD be able to take down your subordinates, right?’

‘No matter how powerful you are, as a Red Dragon, my speed far surpasses yours.’

If Max had truly wanted to escape, unless the humans had prepared a trap beforehand, no one would be able to stop him.

Naturally, no other dragon would share the same thoughts as Max.

In their view, the humans, those puny impudent ants, had insulted the dragons, and as such, they must pay the price. Even if they dragons were no match for the humans, escaping would be the last thing on those dragons’ minds.

“This guy is trying to escape. Hurry up and stop him!”

Felix had read Max’s intentions clearly, and thus, he quickly shouted to Gallio in the distance.

“I know, I know.”

A pained expression flashed across Gallio’s eyes, but his actions were still very nimble.

With his appearance still that of a savage monster, Gallio extended his massive hand into his small satchel and brought out a red potion.

It was a rather comical sight.

Gallio pulled out the wooden stopper of the red potion. Immediately after, a strange fog was emitted from the tube.

‘An illusion!’

It was a trap created by the Master Alchemist Gallio for the purpose of hunting dragons.

There was a lot of gemstone powder mixed in it, and thus, creating the trap had cost a pretty penny. It was no wonder that Gallio was so hesitant to use it.

The scarlet mist spread quickly, and everywhere it went, a bright sparkle was emitted.

It was in the middle of the night, and the sparkles had made it seem as if there were various precious gemstones scattered everywhere.

If an ordinary dragon were to spot so many gemstones in open air, they would most likely fall into a trance, regardless of their current state of combat.

After all, in the eyes of dragons, these shiny gemstones were worth more than their lives.

They would rather die than to lose treasure!

“Dragon, do you still think that you are the rulers of the world?”

“You can’t even resist the temptation of treasures, even if you know that this is a trap.”

“You can’t escape. We have already set up an inescapable net around your lair. You will always be enslaved by your nature, and you will never be able to leave this place!”

Gallio looked at the red fog that had already surrounded Max. He could not help but laugh out loud as he spoke in Max’s direction.

Many soldiers became excited when they heard Gallio’s voice.

‘That’s right. No matter how powerful a dragon was, they’re ultimately still beasts.’

‘Bogged down by their greed, there is not a single dragon that can resist the temptation of treasures!’

‘Even if they knew that they were walking into a trap, dragons were still unable to resist.’

Due to this greedy nature of theirs, the intelligent humans, while weak, were still able to defeat the strong dragons.

Max was certain that Agatha would fall for this illusion.

The problem with this, however, was that Max was no normal dragon!

He was a transmigrator!

He was a human in his previous life, and thus, Max did not share his brethren’s love for treasure.

He had already defeated Rafik, a warrior who relied on the Red Dragon’s love of rubies to beat his enemies, and now, Gallio was attempting the same trick again.

‘You wish to trap me in this illusion of jewels?’

‘You’re delusional!’

Max snorted coldly, completely ignoring the sparkles around him. With a flap of his wings, he immediately took to the skies.

“How is this possible!?”

“Why is this guy not affected by the Array of Jewels?”

“I don’t believe it. How can there be a dragon who’s capable of resisting the array!?”

“Could something have gone wrong with my reagent!?”

Gallio stared wide-eyed at Max.. He was completely dumbfounded.
