Chapter 117: Ancient Dragon, Catherine

A massive figure had spotted Max!

It’s body was covered in translucent crystal-like scales, and just its neck alone had already covered a length of 3 meters.

After adding up the rest of its body that was obscured from view, the figure had reached an astonishing length of around 10 meters!

This figure was none other than the entity that Avril had mentioned a while back — Catherine.

Although Catherine had just awakened and had yet to completely grasped the situation within the Moldos Mountain Range, the appearance of a Red Dragon Hatchling had stood out like a sore thumb within this snow-white world of ice.

Worse still, the wind and ice elemental spirits within the Moldos Mountain Range had acted as more or less as Catherine’s eyes and ears.

Although she had discovered Max’s existence, Catherine did not take him seriously.

After all, Max seemed to have been born just a couple years ago. Although Catherine was a little surprised that Max’s body was comparable to that of a fully-grown dragon, the air of naivety and his scent was definitely that of a Dragon Hatchling’s.

As far as Catherine was concerned, Max was no older than 5.

Although she was a Silver Dragon, who was the sworn enemy of the Red Dragons, dragons of this age usually did not possess much mental faculties. Moreover, dragons of this age were usually accompanied by their mothers, who would take care of their needs, such as food.

Catherine was certain that there were no Adult Dragons within Max’s vicinity.

‘Could this Red Dragon have been abandoned by its kin?’

Catherine thought to herself.

However, Catherine opinion soon changed. After all, Catherine could tell at a glance that Max was no inferior Red Dragon.

She could tell that he was a model Red Dragon, and so long as he survived and developed, he would become a powerful existence, surpassing that of his peers in the future.

‘But it’s clear that it won’t survive long within these mountains.’

Catherine thought to herself.

At a logical standpoint, Catherine’s conjecture was not wrong. After all, Max was a Dragon Hatchling that had been abandoned by his mother. Logically speaking, most Dragon Hatchlings that were thrown into the cold wilderness at this age would scarcely survive.

However, Catherine knew not of Max’s true strength.

Had she known, she would have thought differently.

Although Catherine was a Silver Dragon who was known for their indecisiveness, she would not have spared any mercy for her sworn nemesis, the Red Dragons, even if they were only a baby.

The reason she had stayed her hand, unlike Avril who charged straight at Max, was because she was certain that Max would die before long, despite Max posing as a potential threat in the future.

As an Ancient Dragon, Catherine had a dignity to maintain. Since the Dragon Hatchling would die without her intervention, she would rather not make a move.

However, not long after, Catherine frowned.

In the image transmitted back by the wind and ice elementals, much to her surprise, Max had gulped down several Snow Wolves almost as quickly as he killed them.

This little dragon looked to be no more than 5. How could such a young dragon effortlessly kill the Snow Wolves, who were known as one of the top predators within the Moldos Mountain Range?

Upon seeing this scene, Catherine could no longer sit still.

After all, this meant that Max was capable of surviving on his own.

Catherine knew that once Red Dragons were of age, and were capable of defending themselves, their mothers would leave them.

This made the scene that had been transmitted via the spirits all the more worrying.

An extremely grave expression appeared in her eyes.

‘A 5-year-old dragon capable of surviving all-alone within the freezing climates of the north…’

‘They must be a genius!’

Should Max continue to live his life in the Moldos Mountains unperturbed, he would likely grow up to be an overlord among dragons!

This was not something that a Silver Dragon would like to see.

Although Silver Dragons were not a monolith, this did not mean that they would never form a united front.

Regardless of the time or place, killing a genius Red Dragon was the top-most priority for the Silver Dragons.

Catherine chose not to hunt down Max initially as she assumed that Max would perished within the merciless world of ice and snow before long.

However, after gaining the intel from the spirits, this was no longer the case. Catherine wanted nothing more than to eradicate this deadly future threat to the Silver Dragons.

An absurd thought appeared in Catherine’s mind.

‘Could this little Red Dragon be the cause of Avril’s death?’

Once this absurd thought appeared in Catherine’s mind, she was unable to get rid of it.

Catherine hurriedly shook her head to reject this idea.

After all, Max was only a Dragon Hatchling.

On the other hand, Avril, who had died from self-destruction, was a Young Dragon who had lived for hundreds of years.

Just her battle experience alone was not something that Max could compare to.

‘I must’ve slumbered for too long to come up with such a ridiculous thought.’

Buzz!

A ball of frost energy appeared in front of Catherine.

The energy was only the size of a human head, and its freezing aura was capable of sending chills down one’s spine.

Compared to Avril’s frost energy, the frost energy carelessly condensed by Catherine at this moment was 10 times more intense and colder than Avril’s.

That small orb alone was capable of freezing an entire village into a block of ice for eons.

This was the power that the Silver Dragon, Catherine, possessed!

Without a shadow of a doubt, she was the most powerful existence that Max had ever encountered, Immemorial Dragonkin aside!

The ball of ice energy turned into a 2-meter-long ice spear in the blink of an eye.

In the next moment, an invisible energy propelled it forward into the distance!

A sonic boom rang out.

In the next moment, the spear had already disappeared from her view.

Considering the fact that Catherine was at the highest peak of the Moldos Mountain, and that she had a clear view for dozens of kilometers, this was truly an impressive feat

The speed of that she had launched the ice spear at was probably several times that of the speed of sound!
