Dragon Monarch System

“Aditya…..Aditya” Alicia panicked seeing Aditya in such a horrible state.

Aditya groaned in pain and then replied. “I am not planning on dying this soon. At least not until, I give you a Dragon baby.”

“This isn’t the time to joke.” Normally Alicia would have blushed to hear such words. But this wasn’t time for such nonsense.

“Open your mouth.” She took out a glass tube that was filled with a green liquid. The green liquid was Peak 5-star healing potion. Julia had given Alicia a few of them for emergency situations. Never thought she would find herself needing to use one of them.

????????!

As the potion reached down his throat, all of his injuries rapidly began to heal. Alicia then took a moment to look around.

Everything within 25 meters radius was completely destroyed. She could sense many people were on the verge of death. One of them happens to be the prime Minister of the Hephaestus Kingdom.

Adian gently put Fabian on the ground. He held his hand and gently asked. “Fabian, talk to me.”

Fabian had used this body to protect Adian. Unlike Aditya, he wasn’t that lucky. His body wasn’t strong enough to withstand the explosion. “Your Majesty, this is the end. I pray that one day, the Hephaestus Kingdom regains its former glory and reaches a new height.” Fabian’s hand lost strength and was about to fall down when Adian grabbed his hand and tightly held it with tears running down his cheeks.

“Thank you for your years of service, my dear Prime Minister.” Adian had great difficulty speaking these words. He never thought that his Prime Minister would leave him this way.

Fabian had served Adian’s father for a long time. After his father’s death, even when everything went wrong, Fabian was loyal to Adian and served him.

Pushing the debris, Daxton stood up and removed the jacket that he was wearing. Daxton being a 5th-order cultivator was able to survive the explosion even though he was slightly injured. He also managed to protect His Prime Minister. Adam also managed to survive.

“Are you Alright, Your Majesty?” Adam asked.

Daxton rolled his eyes and replied. “Before asking, you should look at yourself.” Adam sadly smiled before looking to his right.

“It appears Duke Elliott Campbell wasn’t that lucky.” Duke Campbell instantly died from the explosion.

“Never thought that this old man would go out this way.” Even though the Onard house and the Campbell were bitter rivals for generations, Adam never really hated Duke Elliott. Duke Elliott was from Adam’s father’s generation. He greatly respected the old man. It’s a shame that he died early. As his son is still immature and not ready to handle the duties of his father.

Adam’s body began healing after he ate a 5-star healing pill that his daughter made for him. Daxton’s injuries weren’t that serious. With his natural healing abilities, those burns will heal in no time.

“Jonathan, are you still alive?” Lying under the debris of the wooden house, the Emperor of Queenstown called his friend. Although Aric had hidden many things from Jonathan, he still considered Jonathan a good friend.

Pushing away the wooden doon, Jonathan showed his pained face. His forehead was covered in blood. The rest of his body had suffered second-degree burns.

“Yeah.” Aric was lying injured on the ground. He saw his friend Jonathan was still alive. Feeling relieved, Aric got up to help Jonathan.

“What the hell was that? Lucas should have warned us about whatever he was planning on doing in this meeting.” Aric complained about Lucas while helping Jonathan sit up not knowing that the Devil was behind them and was listening to their conversation.

“I don’t want to be part of this shitty Alliance anymore,” Jonathan complained. If Jonathan wasn’t a part of this alliance, he wouldn’t have been forced into this war and wouldn’t have lost millions of his soldiers. And he wouldn’t have been this miserable.

“Yeah. After all this is over, I am leaving this Alliance. The only party benefitting from this Alliance is Lucas and his Empire.”

“Are you sure about that?” A hideous voice reached both Aric and Jonathan’s ears. Both of their backs stiffened. Both Emperors started trembling. When they slowly turned their heads, they saw a monster in front of their eyes. This monster didn’t have any resemblance to Lucas.

“Who are you?” The monster in front of them was 3 meters tall. It had dark skin, large black bat wings, black eyes, and two sharp horns on its head. The most notable feature of its body was the dark purple color diamond-shaped crystal at its chest.

The diamond shaped-crystal was in the middle of his chest. The crystal was embedded into his ribcage. Dark purple veins were spread from the crystal. Each second, the crystal was pulsing, as if it was alive.

The monster in front of them looked very ugly. To them, it was like a creature that had walked out of Hell. Neither Aric Nor Jonathan had ever seen anything uglier than this creature. Even the ugliest being in this world would look pretty in front of this monster.

The monster had a sinister Aura. Being stared at by this monster, made both of them feel extremely nervous. As if this creature from hell had come here to take them to hell.

“Who Am I? That’s a stupid question. Just a few seconds ago, you two were talking about betraying me.”

It was then that both Aric and Jonathan realized that this monster was non-other than Lucas. As for how the Echo Nexus Emperor turned into this hideous-looking monster, they had no idea about it. “You’re Lucas…..?”

The monster’s giant palms grabbed their faces.

“Lucas, please don’t kill us.”

“For decades, we have been loyal to you and only you. We stood by your side and have helped you.”

“We have served and we will of service to the Alliance leader.”

Lucas momentarily stopped before looking at Aric and Jonathan’s faces. “Unfortunately, it’s too late for that.”

Ahhhh……!!!!!

Aric and Jonathan’s bodies started to wither. Both of them struggled with all of their rights to free themselves but failed to do anything. Lucas raised their bodies up in the air. Wrinkles started appearing on their bodies. It was as if both of their bodies were rapidly aging. A second later, both of their bodies stopped moving.

??????!!!!

“I barely received anything. What a waste these two were.” Lucas threw away the two dead bodies like garbage.

Aric and Jonathan’s bodies had turned withered corpses. Both looked like thousand years old mummies. It was as if someone had extracted every single drop of blood and water from their bodies.

“Time to hunt for some more meals.” Lucas then disappeared.

“How are you doing?”

“Are you alright?”

“Are you still in pain?”

Aditya just nodded his head. Thanks to Alicia’s quick actions, his injuries had 40% healed. Within a few more minutes, his body should be completely healed.

Seeing Aditya trying to stand up, Alicia healed him. After standing up, both of them took a moment to look at the destruction around them. Just a few hours ago, this peaceful village was covered in snow and beautiful houses were around them. But now anything within 25 meters range has been destroyed due to the explosion.

With his enhanced senses, he could feel that many people had died in this explosion. If he hadn’t acted even a second later, then Alicia also would have died. And that very thought of her dying scared him very much.

“Aditya….”

“Yeah, I can also feel its presence. There is no way I won’t be able to feel his Hideous and Sinister Aura.” Both of them were talking about the monster responsible for this destruction.

“How did Lucas suddenly turn into that monster?” Aditya wondered out loud.

Alicia heard Aditya’s question. But before she could say anything, her eyes suddenly became dazed and lost focus. It was almost as if she was lost in her thoughts.

“Let us escape this prison.”

“I can’t wait to return to Earth and conquer the 7 continents once again.””

Alicia suddenly found herself having a vision. In her vision, she saw millions of black humanoid-looking monsters with large bat wings and horns on top of their heads, in a place where Lava was flowing in place of a river, and where the sky was red. It was a different world. No ordinary human would be able to survive in such a place.

“All of these monsters were locked in cages. Amidst all the screaming and shouting, suddenly a wave of golden flame came from the sky.

“It’s over for us.”

“We are finished”

All the monsters screamed.

The flame then consumed every single one of the monsters. And just like that millions of Monsters were killed.”

‘What the hell was that?’ The vision lasted for a few seconds. Even though it was a vision, she still remembered many details.

”That’ Flame looked similar to the Hell Fire that the members of my family are capable of using.’ Alicia was a Fire Mage herself. She had been using the Hell Flame with her spells. Because of the Hell Flame, any fire-type skills that she uses don’t consume too much of her Mana.

‘But it was much more powerful.’

“Alicia, I am going to face this monster.” Alicia snapped out of her dazed.

Alicia looked concerned. She knew even if she wanted to stop him, he wouldn’t listen. And truthfully, only he was strong enough to stop this monster.

“Take everyone with you and leave this island. This island isn’t safe anymore.” Once the fight started, the collision of their attacks might even take out the entire island. While fighting this monster, Aditya can’t guarantee the safety of his wife and his people.

“Alright. Take care of yourself.” Aditya nodded before vanishing out of Alicia’s sight.

With each step, one by one, he started activating his passive skills. He also wore the Crimson Warlock Armor Set.

Inferno Overdrive!

Storm Flight!

Lightning Armor!

Crimson Lightning Dash!

Gu…!!

When Aditya arrived, he saw a 3 meters tall monster had lifted a Beginner 5th-order cultivator by his throat. Under his eyes, the cultivator’s body began to wither rapidly. Within a few seconds, the cultivator’s corpse withered like a thousand years of mummy.

“You’re finally here. I have been waiting for you.” The monster casually threw away the dead body of the cultivator and then turned around. Around the monsters, there were 100 other dead withered corpses. He had killed every single people that came with him to this island.

“Who are you?”

“No…..The question should be what are you? Are you Lucas or a Monster?” Aditya’s main objective was to buy time. So that Alicia can take everyone and leave this island. Aditya would be able to fight without having to worry about others.

“That’s an interesting question. Even I am not sure about the answer. I am still Lucas. But I am also Beltharos the Devouring Shade.”

『 ?????????????????? ?????? ?????????????????? ??????????! 』

Aditya started to walk around Lucas. “What exactly you have turned yourself into?” Aditya couldn’t help but ask. He didn’t have any knowledge about the monster that Lucas had turned himself into.

“I have lived for more than 7 centuries. It had taken me 7 centuries to build the current Echo Nexus Empire. You might be more powerful than me, but I am more knowledgeable than you.” Aditya secretly rolled his eyes. He wanted a straight answer.

“In my long life, I was fortunate enough to find the corpses of some beings that do not originate from this realm. It took a long time but I finally succeeded. Through numbers trails and errors, I have become……”

To be continued….!
