Dragon Monarch System

Chapter 332 - Last Day Of Peace [III]; Enchantments

In his personal study room,

Aditya was sitting on the floor with his Adamantite Doomblade on his lap. The Dragon Monarch looked really focused on his work. He was drawing runes on his 5-star Adamantite Doomblade sword.

Since a war on his foot doors, Aditya wanted to prepare as much as he could. Even without using the Adamantite Doomblade, he was confident that he could beat his enemies but having his Adamantite Doomblade will make him even stronger.

Besides Aditya, there was also a 5-star full-body Crimson armor. This time, he was going to the battlefield fully prepared. Other times, Aditya never bothered to wear full body armor. But this time, the role he would play in this war would decide the outcome. Using Dragon transfer, Aditya would be able to fight on multiple battlefields.

After becoming a 4-star runemaster, his engraving speed has doubled if not tripled. Previously this would have taken him more than half a day to finish but now he was able to finish enchanting the Adamantite Doomblade within a few hours.

”Itʼs done.” Aditya held the Adamantite Doomblade with a proud smile. The system showed him the description of his work.

『Adamantite Doomblade』

『Peak 5-star (☆☆☆☆☆)』

『Description - A special sword forged from a special ore only found under a volcano. This sword was forged by a talented blacksmith. This sword is extremely sharp and 3 tons in weight. The Adamantite Doomblade can withstand heavy pressure and temperature.

After being enchanted by a talented 4-star runemaster, the rank of his sword has been raised from Mid-5-star to Peak 5-star.

The Adamantite Doomblade has only one true master. No other being in this world other than the true master will be able to use the full power of this sword.』

『Functions 1 - The Adamantite Doomblade can change its shape and its size according to the will of the True master.』

『Function 2 - «Overheat»

• Each strike dealt or each hit taken has a chance to put a buff on you that makes your next strike inflict 200% more damage. This chance depends on the power of the enchantment. The chances of activating «Overheat» increases when fighting lower-order cultivators.

When «Overheat» is activated, the color of the Adamantite Doomblade will change to Crimson.』

『Function 3 - «Bleeding»

• A chance that the enemy will start to lose 3% health every 5 seconds after being hit. This change is proportional to the damage dealt and the power of the enchantment.』

『Function 4 - «Frenzy»

• A chance to increase your melee damage by 150% for 5 seconds after dealing or receiving a hit.』

『Function 5 - «Bloodlust»

• The Adamantite Doomblade reacts with your killing intent. When «Bloodlust» is activated, your physical strength will be increased by [400+].』

”Perfect” Aditya was very satisfied with his work.

He then picked up the crimson armor set lying beside him. As he did, the description was shown by the system.

『Crimson Warlock Set』

『Mid 5-star (☆☆☆☆☆)』

『Description - Crimson Warlock set was made by a talented goblin blacksmith. The Crimson Warlock set was made for Kings and Emperors. The armor set was made from a special ore that can conduct electricity and absorb damage to a certain extent.

The power of The Crimson Warlock set was raised from beginner 5-star to Mid 5-star after a talented 4-star blacksmith added enchantment.』

『Function 1 - «Crimson Corruption»

Successfully attacking your foe with a weapon will curse him. He will receive periodic damage.

The mythical enchantment of Warlockʼs Set.

• For every 10% damage received by the opponent with a weapon or unarmed attacks gives a curse to the opponent, marked with a red sparkling aura around the opponent.

• Each curse inflicts a bleeding effect on the opponent and increases with

each stack.

• The curse lasts for 5 seconds. However, the curse expiration is refreshed with every successful hit. This curse effect can stack up to 3.

• This ability will not work against cultivators whose cultivation is above Peak 5th-order.』

『Function 2 - «Life Drain»

• When your health drops by 75%, The Crimson Warlock set will activate «Life Drain». When «Life Drain» is activated, each time damage is received by the opponent with a weapon or unarmed attacks, you will recover a small portion of your health. The amount of health that you will recover is directly proportional to the amount of damage that your attacks do to your opponent.』

『Function 3 - «Safeguard»

• 75% of attack damage will be reduced from cultivators whose cultivation is below 5th-order. «Safeguard» wonʼt work against 5th-order or higher-order cultivators.』

With a satisfied smile, Aditya put the Crimson Warlock Armor Set in his storage ring. He was going to wear this Armor set during this war.

”And lastly, we have this.” Aditya smiled looking at the light blue cubic-shaped pendant in his hand. The runes on his pendant were almost non-existence. One would need to take a very close look if he wants to see the runes.

Aditya worked on his pendant in his spare time. At first, this pendant was nothing but an experimental product. He used his 4-star runemaster skills on making this artifact. Since he was going to war, Aditya decided to use this artifact. So he took 15 minutes to modify this pendant a little bit.

Holding the pendant, Aditya stared at the description of this pendant.

『Shard of Life』

『Beginner 4-star (☆☆☆☆)』

『Description - A normal light blue cubic-shaped pendant that has been turned into an Artifact using the skills of the Rune Monarch. Unlike other 4-star artifacts, this Artifact only has one function.』

『Function 1 - «Mana recovery array»

• There is a small Mana gathering array on his cubic-shaped pendant. The main function of the pendant is to increase your mana recovery speed. The pendant increases your mana recovery speed by 30%.』

”The Shard of Life will help me recover my Mana as quickly as possible. This pendant will be of great help on the battlefield.” Aditya wasnʼt planning on using the Crown of Seven Seas unless he had been cornered by the enemies and had no other choice. But Aditya didnʼt think he would face anyone that strong.

The current Aditya can destroy any Peak 5th-order cultivator. He can even take on a beginner 6th-order cultivator with no problem. Even if high-order cultivators try to fight Aditya, their cultivation will be lowered to Peak 5th-order. The law of this world forbids any high-order cultivator from attacking any lower-order cultivator.

Aditya wore the pendant around his neck. Just as he stood up and stretched his body, someone knocked on the door.

Knock! Knock!

”Who is it?” Aditya asked even though he knew who it was.

”Your Majesty, itʼs me, Spencer. I came to report.”

”Come in.” Behind Spencer, Watson also walked in. Aditya didnʼt stop Watson as the old manʼs presence was needed. Even though he was a butler, his rich experience can help them out. Besides, Watson was also Adityaʼs first Dragonian. That itself gave him almost the same position as the generals within the Istarin Military.

Aditya sat down on a chair. He then signaled Spencer and Watson to sit on the couch that was located opposite the table. This was Adityaʼs personal study room. Behind the couches, there were wooden shelves with many old books on them. Most of these books were about history, geography, and war tactics.

From the look on Watson and Spencerʼs faces, Aditya already knew what Spencerʼs first sentence was going to be. ”Your majesty, the Echo Nexus Empire has officially declared War against us.”

Aditya smirked expecting this sentence from Spencer and Watson. The atmosphere in the room changed as Adityaʼs smile faded and was replaced with an icy cold gaze. ”So itʼs here.”

”What did you say?”

”The Echo Nexus Emperor is demanding you to release the Crown Prince.” Back then instead of killing the Crown Prince, Aditya kept him alive. But he had destroyed the Crown Princeʼs cultivation.

”In exchange for what?” Aditya asked.

”Your Majesty, The Emperor just demanded you to release the Crown Prince. He said the following words, ”The Istarin Empire has dared to destroy the Dragon Slayer guild even though the world knows that the Dragon Slayer guild is an important friend of the Echo Nexus Empire. Istarin Empire prepare to face the wrath of Echo Nexus Empire.”

”Thatʼs some bold and arrogant words.” Watson did not look pleased with all. Right now he felt angry. But everyone in the room knew that the Echo Nexus Emperor had the power to back his arrogance.

”That being said, the Echo Nexus Emperor has called for a meeting with all of his Allies. Your Majesty, you should know what that means right?” Aditya nodded his head with a serious look. He already saw this coming. The aim of the Echo Nexus Empire was to crush the Istarin Empire. Even before Aditya attacked the Dragon Slayer guild, the relationship between the Istarin Empire and the Echo Nexus Empire wasnʼt that good. Both Empires remained neutral toward each other.

One reason why the Istarin Empire and the Echo Nexus Empire werenʼt that good is because of Echo Dominion Empire. Both Echo Nexus Empire and the Echo Dominion Empire have been rivals for centuries. Their rivalry was even bigger than the rivalry between the White Dragon King and the Black Dragon King. Since the Echo Dominion Empire was an official ally of the Istarin Empire, the Echo Nexus Empire wasnʼt going to become allies with their enemiesʼ friends.

Another main reason why the relationship between the Istarin Empire and the Echo Nexus Empire wasnʼt that good is because of the Istarin Empireʼs rapidly growing power and influence in the Dying Isle continent. It wouldnʼt be wrong to say that the Echo Nexus Empire is the Crown of the Dying Isle continent. The Empire was so powerful and influential that it can control the entire continent.

The rapid rise of the Istarin Empire has threatened the long dominance of the Echo Nexus Empire. The Echo Nexus Empire was afraid that the Istarin Empire would replace them and soon become the next big powerhouse of the Dying Isle continent. They were also afraid of the fact that their biggest rivalʼs friend was going to end their dominance.

Now the Istarin Empireʼs actions against the Dragon Slayer guild and against their Crown Prince gave the Echo Nexus Empire and its allies the perfect excuse to take out the Istarin Empire before it grows into a threat that they canʼt handle.

The fact that the Echo Nexus Empire was calling for a meeting showed that he did not take the military of the Istarin Empire lightly. He wasnʼt willing to take any chances.

”The outcome of this meeting will affect the future of the Istarin Empire.” The Echo Nexus Empireʼs had powerful allies from other continents as well. If all allies attacked the Istarin Empire, the whole war will become a one-sided battle.
