Chapter 124

[ Host Max, you are extremely close to your target, the Dark Snow Lotus Crystal. However, the Ancient Silver Dragon is an entity that is beyond the host’s ability to handle. In such a situation, please make your choice! ]

[ 1. The Ancient Dragon Catherine is simply too powerful. I am no match for her as I am only a Dragon Hatchling. Fighting back would only result in me being killed, thus, the best course of action for me to take is to flee. ]

[ —— Choose to flee. The probability of death increases by 500% . Obtain Language of Death: Undead Calamity. Upon dying, you will turn into an Ancient Undead Dragon and receive the enmity of the Mother Goddess, Tiamat. ]

[ 2. So what if Catherine is powerful? As long as I use the Battle of Existence, I will be able to eliminate her entire existence. How could Catherine’s fate be stronger than mine? ]

[ —— Fight Catherine head-on. The chances of death is 5%. Upon attaining victory and absorbing the full strength of the Silver Dragon, Catherine, you will obtain the enmity of Mother Tiamat for abusing the Battle of Existence and will be struck down by divine judgment. ]

[ 3. As I am now, I am incapable of going against an Ancient Dragon. I must not be careless. The only reason I’ve arrived at the Moldos Mountain Range is to locate a mythical resource to treat my sister. I must do my best to avoid battling the Ancient Dragon, Catherine. ]

[ —— Avoid Catherine’s tracking. Reward: Stealth. 100% concealment of body and aura upon use. Lasts for 5 minutes. Cooldown time: 24 hours ]

Max was overwhelmed by a rush of joy upon noticing the system’s options. Had he not received the system’s timely aid, Max would likely be forced to use his Battle of Existence to deal with Catherine.

After reading the first two options, Max frowned.

Both options would lead to Tiamat’s enmity. After going against Avril and upon recalling the blessing she had received from Bahamut, Max had well and truly understood the power and terror that the Dragon Gods possessed.

Be it Bahamut or Tiamat, both of them were entities beyond Max’s ability to handle.

‘Mother Tiamat might possess some ability to seal my usage of the Battle of Existence. Should that really happen, my trump card would be well and truly gone.’

Thus, the only option left to Max was the third option.

‘System, I choose the third option!’

Max muttered in his heart.

The next instant, countless memories were implanted into Max’s mind.

A powerful and complicated concealment spell appeared on Max’s stats panel.

In the blink of an eye, Max understood how the Stealth ability was supposed to be used.

It had to be said, however, that the effect and potency of Stealth had shocked even Max himself.

Although Stealth was incapable of causing mass destruction, nor did it possess the same defensive power of Invincible Golden Body…

In terms of completely erasing his own presence, it was undeniably the greatest asset he had.

So long as one was below the Dragon God rank, they would be incapable of detecting his presence once he activated Stealth.

During this period, be it Max’s aura or figure, they would immediately be undetectable by the opponent’s perception.

Unless Max had taken the initiative to attack, or until the duration of the concealment spell ended, or unless Max had halted the ability of his own volition, he would be completely invisible to his opponent.

At the same time, however, Stealth was also a spell that consumed large amounts of mana, second only to the Thunderous Divine Retribution.

Although it was a non-destructive skill, it would consume almost half of Max’s Mana.

You might be wondering, how bad was that?

Well, to put it into perspective, after absorbing Tahir and the half-blood Dragonkin, Max’s mana was no less than that of a Prime Dragon.

Furthermore, after devouring the Black Dragon and modifying his physique, the upper limit of his mana had also been increased.

As such, the fact that Stealth was capable of wiping out half of his mana reserve was a truly shocking revelation.

Regardless, Max immediately activated Stealth without an ounce of hesitation!

Voom!

The space around Max’s scales suddenly trembled and emitted a special frequency.

In the next moment, Max’s figure seemingly disappeared into thin air.

“How is this possible!?”

Catherine arrived at the spot where Max had been moments later.

Her massive figure that hovered in the air was truly a sight to behold. However, at this moment, she seemed to be bewildered.

Despite already locking onto his aura, Max had vanished all of a sudden, as if he had disappeared into thin air.

He had disappeared from where he once stood without any warning.

Catherine looked around in disbelief. She could even sense the scent that Max had emitted when he had stopped there earlier.

“How did this happen!?”

There was a faint trace of anger in Catherine’s voice. To think that she, an Ancient Dragon, had lost tracked of a Dragon Hatchling!

Should news of this spread, her name and standing among the Ancient Dragons would plummet! She would be reduced to a laughingstock!

Catherine opened her large mouth, and a world-shaking roar was suddenly emitted from the Silver Dragon’s mouth.

Roar!

A violent gale instantly erupted within a radius of nearly a hundred miles!

The sky was immediately swallowed by dark clouds.

In the distance, Osse and Molmo almost lost their balance under the terrifying dragon roar and were blown into the air.

Even someone as strong as Osse had a trace of fear in his eyes.

“It… It has awoken?”

Osse subconsciously muttered.

At this moment, Max was also in a bad spot.

Although he had activated Stealth and erased his presence from Catherine’s perception, Max’s actual body had not budged a single inch.

Max was less than half a meter away from Catherine. He was so close that he could even feel the freezing temperature of Catherine’s body.

At first, Max dared not even breathe, for fear that he would alert Catherine. However, upon realizing that he was truly imperceptible to Catherine, a wave of relief washed over him.

However, following that, Catherine’s heaven-shaking dragon roar almost caused Max’s eardrums to burst.

No matter how much talent he possessed, he was still a Dragon Hatchling!

The roar that Catherine had unleashed could be considered to be a attack at Max’s standards!

It took him more than 10 seconds to recover.

While looking at the furious Catherine who had lost track of him, a strange feeling bubbled up within Max’s heart.
