Dragon Monarch System

Chapter 1007: Chapter 1007:- Mana Flare: Breaking the Heavens

”Solar Cannons, prepare to fire on my command.” A golden energy orb formed at the mouth of the black cannons. With each passing second, the golden orb’s energy concentration kept getting higher and higher.

But the Black Dragon wasn’t going to allow that. Before coming here, the Ancient Dragon had been informed about these strange cannons.

The Massive Dragon opened its mouth and began to condense a diamond-shaped Golden Flame for a massive attack.

”Fire!!!!”

Five solar Cannons fired at the Black Dragon at once. All five solar beams combined to form one powerful beam. The light from the beam was so strong that the soldiers standing on the walls and watching from below felt like they were seeing a miniature sun above their city.

The Black Dragon also fired a powerful golden flame. As two powerful attacks collided, they created a really powerful shockwave.

Booooooooooooooom!!!!!

The two attacks collided just outside the barrier. The barrier took the full shockwave of the explosion. The shockwave and explosion caused cracks to appear all over the defensive barrier.

At the same time, the shockwave and the explosion were felt even by the people outside.

Everyone could clearly see the massive explosion rising into the sky, so large that it looked capable of engulfing half of the city. The shockwave spread outward with terrifying force. The ground began to tremble, and everything around started to shake violently. Mud jugs shattered into pieces. Glass items broke instantly. Doors and windows rattled uncontrollably. Some of the older houses, especially those with weak structures, could not withstand the force and began to collapse one after another.

A mysterious man who brought the ancient black dragon safely through the tunnel, world to the six continents was silently watching everything from a distance using an artefact that allowed him to watch everything from almost 50 km away.

”At this rate, the black dragon won’t be able to do any damage.” The organisation already knew that the Dragon Monarch, in the last two months, was going from city to city and upgrading the defensive barriers of every major city in his Empire. But they had no idea just how powerful these barriers were.

But what he saw till now just confirms their guess that each upgraded Defensive Mana Barrier is now strong enough to withstand attacks of any Peak 5th calibre cultivator.

”But good thing Leo had already predicted that something like this might happen.” Before coming, Leo asked him to let the black dragon learn a technique that takes hardly two hours to learn. It’s a special technique that will allow him to bypass the restrictions that are placed on all living beings within the six continents.

”But once activated, this technique will last only up to two minutes, and this technique can be used only once by a person.”

After 1 million years of living, Leo knew a few methods that would temporarily lift the restriction on cultivation limit within the six continents.

It’s not that he was actively trying to find a way to live with the restrictions on cultivation. If he had spent 1 million years trying to find a way, then he would have found a permanent way to lift the cultivation restriction. The reason he knew a few temporary methods was that he knew the powerful organisation members would be useless across the six continents when facing peak fifth-order cultivators. This is why there was a need to identify a few methods to temporarily lift the cultivation restriction.

”Unfortunately, for now, this technique can only be used by Dragons.” The mysterious man sighed. If this technique had been perfected, then all those members of the Organisation who were killed by Aditya might have survived. There was even a chance that Aditya might have been killed by now.

Once the smoke cleared from the explosion, even the veteran soldiers were surprised to see that the ancient dragon had taken little to no damage. The only damage he had taken was on his left chest, where some of his dragon scales had been burned.

”Just as I had expected, this dragon is really powerful even among the ranks of peak, fifth-order cultivators.” The Captain murmured to himself. He did not say to others because he did not want to lower the morale of the soldiers.

He worriedly looked at the cracks that had appeared all over the transparent barrier above them. But the good thing was that after a few seconds, those cracks rapidly began to heal and disappear.

Seeing this, the Captain and others sighed in relief. They couldn’t help but think the formation that his majesty had created for them was truly amazing.

Five-star Defensive Mana Barriers were different from other lower-star Defensive Mana Barriers. Aditya added the self-repair function for emergencies. Even if the barrier completely shattered, within 71 seconds a new barrier will appear. This will keep going until the formation runs out of mana, which was basically impossible because the formation had multiple sources of energy. As a last resort, Soldiers can even channel their mana into the formation.

Unless the entire formation itself was damaged or its energy source was damaged, the formation will keep running. and the core of the formation was hidden within a secret room located somewhere within the wall. And other than a few high-ranking members of the military, no one knew where this room was. Not to mention, the room was locked with several layers of Formations and breaking it was basically impossible.

Only Aditya and a few highly skilled runemasters of the Istarin Empire had the keys to enter this room. From time to time, it was necessary for a Runemaster to come to these rooms for inspections and checkings.

”Captain, what should we do now?” Asked one of the soldiers.

”Mages prepare for another wave of spell attacks. Archers join them. We will buy time for another wave of solar cannon attack.” Hearing the Captain’s orders, everyone quickly got to work.

Everyone had practised similar kinds of drills many times. So everyone’s actions were very well coordinated and in harmony.

But the black dragon, even under mind control, was not some brainless puppet that did not know how to think or plan his next attack. The dragon understood that continuing like this was useless, and if you wanted to do some real damage, you needed to use the technique that he had been taught a few hours back before coming here.

Mana Flare!

Booooooom.....!!!!

The colour of the Black Dragon’s pupil changed to pitch black. The Black Dragon, which was already over 100 meters (328 feet) in length, now looked even more terrifying than before.

Its massive wings slowly spread open, revealing a wingspan of nearly 180 meters (590 feet)

, large enough to cast a dark shadow over a huge portion of the city. The entire body of the dragon was covered in deep black scales, each scale thick, sharp, and slightly reflecting light like dark metal. Not a single part of its body had any other colour. It was pure black, from head to tail.Its claws were enormous, easily large enough to crush a group of soldiers in one strike. Its teeth were even more horrifying. Each tooth was nearly 1.5 meters (5 feet) long, almost the size of a grown man. When it slightly opened its mouth, rows of those massive fangs became visible, giving a clear image of how easily it could tear anything apart.

At the same time, the Black Dragon’s Aura rapidly began to change. Its Aura turned dark and violently cold.

Suddenly, a violent and destructive Aura burst out from the Black Dragon. The Aura was so strong, so dark, and so cold that it immediately paralysed the lower-order soldiers with fear. Some could not even move their bodies. Others fell to their knees, unable to breathe properly under the pressure.

The barrier that was supposed to protect the city from both physical and Aura-based attacks began to fail. Just from the dragon’s Aura alone, cracks started appearing all over the transparent defensive mana barrier. Those cracks spread rapidly, like glass about to shatter.

”What’s Happening?” One of the soldiers asked with a look of fear and disbelief.

The soldiers looked at the Lower Order soldiers. They did not know whether they should abandon the Captain’s order and help these soldiers. Some of them were suffocating and struggling to breathe before their eyes. It was hard for them to watch as these soldiers were their little brothers and precious comrades.

”I don’t know.” Another replied in a low tone. Even the Captain was unsure what kind of change the Dragon was going through, but its effect quickly became clear to him and a few others who were also 5th-order cultivators.

”Its aura is rapidly getting stronger and more destructive in nature. It’s almost like it’s breaking through the restrictions that every higher order cultivator faces within the six continents.”

”Did you send words for reinforcement?” The moment the Black Dragon appeared, the vice-captain was tasked to ask for reinforcement from the Capital.

The Captain sounded desperate as he knew that there was no holding their own against the Black Dragon. With its full power unleashed, which itself was something that should have been impossible, there was no stopping the Black Dragon’s attacks.

It was very possible and highly likely that by the time reinforcement arrived, they might be wiped out along with the entire City. Even with its power restricted to just Peak 5th-order, the Black Dragon had caused the Defensive Mana Barrier to crack, and now just its Aura alone was enough to cause even larger Cracks to appear all over the barrier.

”I did!!” The Vice Captain replied in a low tone. Because he was also unsure when reinforcement would arrive. It had been less than a minute since they started fighting the Black Dragon. It will take at least a few more minutes for reinforcements to arrive.

’I hope we will be able to hold on till then.’

Just then, the Black Dragon took a deep breath.

It hovered a few hundred meters above the northern side of the city, right beyond the northern gates. From that height, its massive body cast a shadow over the walls below.

Then, it opened its mouth.

A colossal wave of golden flames burst out. The attack spread wide as it moved forward, expanding like a half-circle over the city. Since the city itself was round in shape, the wave covered nearly half of its radius in a single strike. From the northern gates to deep inside the city, everything in that direction was swallowed by the golden light. The northern walls, the gates, the streets, and everything in that half of the city looked like they would be completely destroyed under that overwhelming attack.

Really, thank you very much to all those who sent support with valuable golden tickets and gifts. I hope we can keep it up!!!
