Chapter 70 - A Crazed Smile, Gallio's Final Fit of Madness!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The wind constantly whistled past Max’s ears.

Max had already raised his speed to the absolute limit.

At this moment, he was like a meteorite that moved rapidly towards the distant horizon.

Behind him, a cold and evil aura was following closely behind.

The incomparably powerful aura had belonged to Gallio.

At this moment, Gallio was burning through his lifeforce, and he had consumed two powerful concoctions which contained the essence of Calsus and Felix.

Although it was at a heavy price, the current Gallio had far surpassed Max in terms of stats.

As for why Max was fleeing, it was because he was aware that he was no match for the current Gallio.

There was a limit to the amount of time one could burn one’s own life. Max only needed to escape from Gallio until he had fully consumed his own life.

However, Gallio was extremely fast. With the help of the two powerful wings made from the black fog behind him, his speed far surpassed Max’s.

The distance between Max and Gallio was originally around 2 kilometers.

However, in less than 30 seconds, there was only a kilometer left!

Max turned his head, and he was shocked by what he saw.

‘How can he be this fast!?’

‘If this continues, he’s going to catch up to me. It’s only a matter of time.’

Although Max was not greatly wounded, he had little desire to fight against the now-powerful Gallio.

Gallio was originally just an alchemist. Thus, although he had Calsus’ powerful light and sword magic, as well as Felix’s fire magic, he was like a giant with great strength, but was too clumsy to properly utilize it.

Despite this, even a casual use of his skills would achieve terrifying effects!

Max could only use the Invincible Golden Body+ one more time, but it would only last for a single attack.

Max dared not bet on how long he could survive against Gallio without using Invincible Golden Body.

Max racked his brain to come up with a way to avoid fighting Gallio head-on while stalling for as much time as possible.

Behind him, Gallio was quickly approaching him!

1 thousand meters!

900 meters!

800 meters!

500 meters!

300 meters!

The distance between them was rapidly closing!

Upon realizing that he was about to catch up to Max, Gallio’s eyes flashed with a hint of madness.

“Little dragon, time to die!”

However, at this moment, Max’s body suddenly emitted a dazzling light!

Subsequently, a powerful magic immediately engulfed Max’s huge body. The next instant, Max’s speed had picked up once again!

Moreover, it was an explosive increase in speed!

The distance between Gallio and Max had once again widened. Gallio, who originally thought that Max’s fate was sealed, could not help but be exasperated!

What Max had used to increase his speed was actually the Magical Acceleration that Mia had used previously!

After devouring Tahir’s abilities, Max suddenly comprehended the acceleration spell at this moment!

As a result of his 500 points of Spell Strength, Max’s flight speed had reached a whole new tier!

This had given him a slight edge over Gallio!

Gallio could feel Max’s body getting further and further away from him, and at this instant, he suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood!

“Damn it!”

“How is this possible!!!”

“I was clearly about to catch up to him, could this little dragon have been toying with me before?”

“I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it! Such a strange little dragon, where did it come from? Could this dragon have inherited its mother’s blood and gained the talent of an Ancient Dragon?!”

Gallio roared. He was unwilling to accept this fact.

At this moment, so long as Max had no desire to fight Gallio, then no matter how much effort Gallio put in, he would never be able to catch up to Max!

Moreover, Gallio was consuming his own lifeforce!

He could feel his body weaker and weaker, and through this, he knew that he did not have much time left.

After pulling away another 3 kilometers from Gallio, Max finally took a breather and looked back at Gallio.

Gallio was no longer pursuing Max. Instead, he was glaring at Max from afar.

Then, he laughed.

Boom!

A huge explosion suddenly rocked the sky!

A huge mushroom cloud with a diameter of more than 50 meters directly burst out from the sky.

The mushroom cloud was filled with grayish-black gas and emitted a disgusting stench.

Seeing that he could not catch up to Max, and that he was near the end of his life, Gallio refused to continue being humiliated and chose to self-destruct.

Max looked at the grayish-black smoke from the explosion and remained silent.

‘Why are these humans willing to go this far just to kill me?’ 

‘Shouldn’t they have fled once they realized my superiority over them?’

Max did not understand, nor did he want to understand.

Now that he had dealt with Gallio, he let out a long sigh and prepared to return to Mia’s location.

However, he suddenly frowned.

He could not sense Mia’s presence!

‘Where did Mia go?!’

‘Didn’t I tell her to sit still in the clouds?’

‘Could she be in danger!’

Worry began to seep into Max’s thoughts.

‘The human army has already been wiped out. If Mia was really in danger, who was the one attacking her?’

No matter how he thought about it, he could not figure it out.

However, at this moment, an extremely luxurious carriage appeared in Max’s mind.

‘Why would such a luxurious carriage, which seemed to be on vacation, appear in the human army?’

Moreover, based on what he could recall, the carriage did not suffer any damage during the battle.

It was not even affected in the slightest!

Max gasped.

‘Something’s amiss!’

Max, who did not have much time to think, immediately unleashed his mana, activated his Magical Acceleration and flew towards the clouds where Mia was originally!
