Reincarnated as a Red Dragon, Discipline Makes Me Stronger!-Chapter 69 - Mia Becomes Prey!

Mia suddenly felt a chill.

It was as if she had been targeted by a poisonous snake, and she felt as if the temperature around her had dropped to 0 degrees.

Mia hurriedly looked around, but even from her birds’ eye view from the sky, she could not find any sign of humans.

As a result of Gallio’s lethal black fog, none of the soldiers had survived, and all Mia could see was dead bodies littered everywhere.

Other than gusts of wind mixed with the aura of death within them, Mia could not find anything else.

Right as Mia had let her guard down after assuming that she was hallucinating, a blazingly fast ballista bolt shot at her!

Whoosh!

The bolt was pitch black and razor sharp!

The arrow pierced through Mia’s dragon scales, and it had ruthlessly left a bloody trail on her body.

Mia’s body was very frail. Without Max’s protection, the chances of her surviving to adulthood were very low.

It was at this moment that Mia finally reacted. The bolt that was launched at her was an inferior version of the Dragon-vanquishing Bolt.

The inferior version consisted of inferior materials, and thus, its strength was greatly reduced. Had it not been for Mia’s weak body and her weak dragon scales, the inferior version would not have harmed her in the first place.

Mia was shocked. She looked around in fear.

However, there was still no signs of movement around her!

‘An enemy is here!’

‘They’ve discovered my location!’

Mia was terrified. She wanted nothing more than to flee the scene, however, the instructions Max had given her earlier still rang clearly in her mind.

‘Unless the situation is urgent, do not leave your hiding spot.’

Of course, if Max was beside Mia at this moment, he would definitely tell her to flee.

However, Mia did not share the same opinion. After all, she worried that if she fled, she would be surrounded by enemies or she might even fall into a trap.

Worse still, she might even be separated from Max.

Mia widened her eyes in an attempt to locate her attacker.

However, even after pushing her magic perception to the max, she could not sense anything in her surroundings.

Mia started to get nervous. She looked around in panic, and she felt as if her heart was stuck in her throat.

Although Max could ignore the previous bolt and remain unscathed, Mia would be severely injured if hit.

The enemy was hidden in the dark. Not knowing where her enemy would strike had terrified her.

Mia’s enemy was obviously very patient. They were in no hurry to deal with Mia. After all, they were not even worried that she would escape.

It was as if Mia was dancing on the palm of their hand.

In the desert, under the glow of the moonlight, a faint reflective crystal glinted.

It was from Bloom’s ballista[1], who was currently hiding underneath the sand.

Through the bolt he had fired earlier, he had gained a grasp of Mia’s defensive ability.

He adjusted the next inferior Dragon-vanquishing Bolt and began calculating the angle and air resistance.

He planned to kill Mia with a single shot.

Bloom had picked up a completely unused Dragon-vanquishing Bolt from the remaining Dragon-vanquishing Ballista.

Via the cannon he had prepared, Bloom would be able to unleash a powerful Dragon-vanquishing Bolt at close range.

However, upon firing, there was a high probability that his cannon would be damaged due to the inferior materials he used to create it.

He still needed to save the cannon to use his Dragon-annihilation Missile!

Thus, unless it was absolutely necessary, Bloom did not want to waste the Dragon-vanquishing Bolt.

Through various calculations, Bloom had already determined Mia’s defensive ability.

To give an analogy, Mia was like a tiger.

Although she had a certain amount of firepower, in front of absolute power, her defense was no different from a thin piece of paper.

“Air resistance accounted for, deviation of trajectory has also been calibrated.”

Bloom opened one of his eyes and said slowly.

He had already locked onto Mia with the crossbow in his hand.

Mia seemed to have a sixth sense. Her huge body suddenly trembled.

She looked behind her, and to her surprise, there was something coming at her from the ground!

It was travelling at breakneck speed and it would not be long before it would reach her!

Although shocked, Mia hurriedly flapped her wings to dodge. However, as she was rather weak when it came to combat, her wings were still pierced by the bolt, even though she had seen the shot clearly!

Slash!

A small hole of about three centimeters appeared on her wings. Fresh blood continuously flowed out from it!

“Roar!”

Mia cried out in pain and hurriedly prepared to dodge.

However, the next inferior Dragon-vanquishing Bolt had already arrived!

The inferior version of the Dragon-vanquishing Bolt was made out of metal. Although its firepower was lacking compared to the actual Dragon-vanquishing Bolt, it was still a powerful weapon capable of inflicting great damage to large beasts.

Naturally, Dragon Hatchlings had fallen under this category as well.

Had it not been for the Adult Black Dragon’s abilities that Max had consumed, the inferior Dragon-vanquishing Bolt would give him quite a bit of trouble as well.

Whoosh!

Another terrifying bolt was shot out. In the dim darkness, it was like the scythe of the Grim Reaper!

This time, the target of the arrow was surprisingly Mia’s neck!

Should this bolt hit Mia’s neck, she would immediately lose the ability to breathe.

In other words, she would die!

Even if Mia wanted to escape, or if Max wanted to come back and save Mia, it would be too late!

Mia saw the ice-cold bolt rapidly magnifying in her vision and could not help but shiver.

The memories she had inherited had instinctually caused her to release her Lightning Dragon Breath at the bolt! 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

This was a subconscious reaction, and even Mia herself was not aware of what she had done!

Roar!

Boom!

The Lightning Dragon Breath struck the inferior Dragon-vanquishing Bolt, causing the bolt to shatter, and allowing Mia to narrowly escape death.

It was at this moment that Mia had discovered Bloom’s hiding spot. In response, she glared at him and let loose a ferocious roar!

“You are quite formidable. To think that you’ve discovered my position.”

Bloom crawled up from the sand and patted the sand off his body.

His mechanical right arm flickered with an intense light!

In the dark night, it was as bright as the stars!

[1] It actually says crossbow, but I’m not sure how he’ll fire a ballista bolt from a crossbow.
