‘How is this possible!?’

Calsus’ mind was completely blank. The only thought in his mind was that one sentence.

He could not figure out how a Dragon Hatchling had managed to survive, no, remain unharmed from his Divine Parting!

Unless one were present at the scene, most would have treated this as some kind of exaggerated joke!

After all, Divine Parting was Calsus’ most powerful skill. It was an extremely powerful S-slass skill that only a select few individuals on the continent were allowed to learn!

A-class skills were already powerful enough to cause a bloodbath. It was for this reason that they were treated as massive assets.

Even before the continent was unified, the amount of A-class abilities that existed on the continent were few and far between. They were assets that were as rare as phoenix feathers.

However, if A-class skills were already this rare, what did it make of the rarer and even more vicious S-class skills?

It was not an exaggeration to say that the old king would willingly invade an entire city-state, no, an entire nation, all to obtain a single S-class skill!

In a way, S-class skills were like the nuclear warheads that were owned by various countries back in Max’s previous life.

They were weapons of mass destruction, capable of disintegrating most lifeforms to dust.

Unless circumstances necessitated it, one was not to use an S-class skill casually. After all, should a foreign state come to learn of its existence, war would undoubtedly ensue.

The reason Calsus had openly used the S-class skill was due to the fact that the current king had already unified the continent. It was also for this reason that Calsus had not once used the Divine Parting back during the great war.

He assumed that so long as he possessed the Divine Parting, the 1-year-old Red Dragon, Max, would be blown into oblivion. However, reality had given him a heavy slap across his face.

“Impossible…”

“I can’t believe it. You’re merely a Dragon Hatchling!”

“How can you be unharmed?”

“You should’ve died!”

Calsus had seemingly entered a trance.

If Max were to hold back at this moment, then he would truly be a fool.

Being merciful to the enemy was the greatest cruelty to oneself.

Max refused to lose here just because he had shown sympathy to his opponent.

While countless individuals on the ground cried out in an attempt to snap Calsus back to reality…

Max suddenly fired a bolt of lightning that pierced through Calsus’ heart.

Rip!

A hole the size of a football appeared in Calsus’ chest.

Calsus could feel his strength seeping away from him.

He lowered his head in disbelief and stared at where his heart once used to be.

“How… Can this… Happen…”

Fresh blood started to flow out from Calsus’ mouth and nose.

His strength was declining.

The brilliant light that had lit up the night sky also vanished at this moment.

The world descended into darkness once more.

Calsus was rapidly losing his strength. He was losing his grip on the two massive greatswords in his hands.

His face began to turn pale, as if all his blood had been drained from him.

His originally brilliant golden hair had also turned white.

“This is absolutely impossible…”

“This is an illusion. All of this is fake. I don’t believe it!”

Calsus used his already hoarse voice to roar weakly.

His mana reserves was no longer capable of sustaining the cross under his feet.

“Your pride has consumed, and ultimately, destroyed you, Calsus.”

On the ground, an extremely weathered voice came from the luxurious carriage. It was as if that voice had already passed through countless years.

“You lost, Calsus.”

Calsus lost all his strength in an instant. At this moment, he was no different from an 80-year-old man.

The two greatswords also slid down from his hands. Due to their weight, they were the first to fall onto the ground1.

“Sir Calsus… Actually lost the battle! ?”

Felix’s pupils shrank to the size of pinholes. He looked at the falling Calsus’ body in disbelief.

Naturally, Max was not about to let such a great source of nutrients get away from him. Right before Calsus’ life energy had completely left him, Max flew to his side and broke his neck in one swift motion.

Calsus was once the favored son of Heaven, an existence that countless people relied on. He was a heroic general who, under the king’s orders, had unified the entire continent..

However, even a genius such as himself had died miserably to a mere Dragon Hatchling!

Max fired a stream of Lightning Breath to roast Calsus’ corpse, and following this, he then swallowed Calsus’ body whole.

Countless soldiers collapsed and screamed in terror!

Fear had gripped the soldiers’ souls!

The strength that Calsus had displayed earlier had caused many to revere him as their god!

Calsus, who represented their hope, had perished!

This was undoubtedly a devastating blow to all the soldiers present.

The tragic death of Calsus had triggered the collapse of the human army. Countless soldiers who were not mentally feeble began to flee!

Had they not seen Calsus’ in all his glory, perhaps, they might have been able to endure his death.

They could not stand this meaningless crusade any longer.

No, it was more accurate to say that this was no longer a battlefield to them, but rather, a slaughterhouse that belonged to the Dragon Hatchling!

Since their discovery of the Dragon Hatchling, the human army had already expended 3 Dragon-vanquishing Ballistae, and more than a thousand soldiers had already died!

Furthermore, they had even lost Calsus, the strongest member among them! How could weak existences like them be a match for the Red Dragons?

They were a rag-tag bunch of soldiers that were provided by the various lords of the nation to the king. There was no way they would fight a battle where they were destined to lose!

They had only one life. If they died, it was gone for good!

‘A crusade against the dragons? For the sake of the nation?!’

‘Screw it all!’

‘Our life takes precedence!’

“Silence!”

“Silence, all of you!”

“Anyone who deserts the army will be killed without mercy!”

Felix looked at the human army that was on the brink of collapse and roared!

After all, with Calsus now gone, the army was the final deterrence against the monstrous Red Dragon Hatchling.

However, Felix had learned the hard way that his shout earlier was in vain.

The Red Dragon Hatchling had terrified them more than Felix, and as a result, the army began to collapse like dominoes!

It was like an avalanche. Once it started, it could not be stopped!
