Dragon Monarch System

Chapter 354 - Battle Of NewMoon Woodlands [VIII]; Secret Ability

Seeing Victoria heading in his direction, Aditya had released his killing intent. This activated one of the functions of the Adamantite Doomblade.

『Ding! Function 5 of the Adamantite Doomblade, «Bloodlust» has been activated.』

『Function 5 - «Bloodlust»

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

Victoria looked slightly pale after taking Adityaʼs punch. But that paleness quickly disappeared as the golden bracelets started shining once again. A second later, she looked completely fine.

ʼThose bracelets are not simple.ʼ Aditya guess that those golden bracelets that she wore must be some kind of powerful artifact that has the ability to heal any injury at a super fast speed or something similar.

Although Aditya sent the shadow guardian to gather information on all the 5th-order cultivators that the enemy had, it was impossible for the shadow guardian to find out every single thing about the enemy. Aditya didnʼt know that she would have such a powerful artifact in her possession.

After Victoria recovered, she started condensing her mana into several orbs. 7 dark purple-shaped football size orbs formed before her. The orbs began shining brightly as she continued putting her mana into them. After a certain point, the orbs began to shrink in size.

Aditya instantly realized what she was doing. ʼShe is shrinking the mana orbs.ʼ Aditya did not stand there without doing anything. The next second, in front of Aditya, a big orb of Crimson flame formed. As the mana orbs kept shrinking in size, the size of the Crimson flame kept increasing.

Around a few seconds later, the football size mana orbs had shrunk to become as small as bullets. But each 9 dark purple mana bullet was shining very brightly. Whereas, the football size crimson flame orb now had turned into a small sun. The Crimson orb had 20 meters big in size.

『Compressed Mana bullets!』

『Crimson Flaming Orb!』

Both attacks were released. The Compress Mana bullets moved faster than the Crimson Orb. Soon both attacks met each other and then turned into a huge explosion.

But just before the explosion, Aditya put used the first function of the Adamantite Doomblade.

«Enlarge!»

Just as the Explosion took place, Adityaʼs black sword expanded to become a gigantic black sword that was over 25 meters long and 10 meters wide. Aditya hid his body behind the Adamantite Doomblade. Knowing that his sword was made from very tough metal and was a Peak 5th-order sword, the sword should be able to take the impact of the explosion and protect him from any harm.

Booooooooooooooom!!!!!

On the other hand, Victoria did not do anything. She happily embraced the explosion. Just as the explosion took place, not even a second had passed before she was completely engulfed in it. She didnʼt even try to protect her body using a Mana barrier.

Once again the entire battlefield and the NewMoon Woodlands shook from the explosion. The sound of the explosion traveled beyond the NewMoon Woodlands and reached the ears of both Empires.

For a short period, both parties had to temporarily stop fighting as they watched the huge mushroom cloud rising in the air in deep shock. Most soldiers have never seen something like this before. This also made them realize the heaven and earth difference between their powers and the power of a Peak 5th-order cultivator.

Seeing a large wave of flame heading in their direction, Ashton quickly covered his body and the Echo Dominion Emperorʼs body in a layer of Mana. Daxton widened his eyes in fear as he watched the huge wave of flame approaching him. At that moment, he was regretting his decision to watch Aditya fight. He was cursing his luck.

Fortunately, as he found himself engulfed in a sea of flames, nothing really happened to him. Even though he can feel the terrifying temperature of the Crimson flames, not a single inch of his body was harmed. Daxton soon realized that a layer of Mana had covered his skin and was acting as protective armor.

Seeing this, Daxton suddenly felt grateful to his Prime Minister who forcefully sent Ashton with him. If Ashton hadnʼt come, then his life would have ended here.

Meanwhile, as everything cooled down, Aditya moved the Adamantite Doomblade and looked at his surroundings. This time, the damage that this land had suffered from their battle had reached a new record. The explosion had changed the terrain of this land forever. It has destroyed countless habitats. The Magic animals that were previously hiding in their nest and caves died without knowing what killed them. All the mountains, trees, rivers, waterfalls, and valleys, had been destroyed and now have been replaced with a humongous size crater. Fortunately, Aditya and Victoria were fighting away from the main battlefield, otherwise, there is no doubt that this attack would have nearly killed all the soldiers from both sides.

ʼIf this kind of explosion takes place in Azure city, then it would destroy nearly 60% to 70% of the entire capital.ʼ And Azure City was the largest City in the Istarin Empire.

On the other side, the opposite of Aditya,

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Victoria was violently coughing out blood. She underestimated the power of the explosion. Even with her artifacts, she should have been cautious and never should have taken the explosion head-on.

Her entire body was a complete mess. Around 90% of her bodyʼs skin was very badly burned. Right now she looked really ugly. There was no sign of her former beauty. What remained was burned skin.

Her entire body was in agonizing pain. Victoria wanted to lie on the ground and scream as it hurt like hell. If she wasnʼt a Peak 5th-order cultivator, she would have died right now. ʼThis was a very stupid move. I am never doing it again.ʼ

ʼBut it was worth it.ʼ Victoria revealed her teeth which now had been covered in blood while staring at her bracelets that were glowing very brightly.

But just a minute was enough for her to recover around 50% of her injuries. The pain was reduced to half as well. As Victoria was recovering, Aditya emerged from the black mushroom cloud with his Adamantite Doomblade.

Unlike Victoria who was a complete mess, Aditya looked completely fine. Seeing Victoria this injured, he felt he needed to strike while the iron was still hot. Before she completely recovered, he wanted to take her down.

Aditya appeared before Victoria in less than a second. At the same time, the golden bracelet that was shining in bright golden color changed to dark purple color. But Aditya didnʼt notice this at that moment,

He drove the Black sword at her chest. Aditya thought that she would try to dodge his attack. However, instead of dodging, she revealed a bloody smile as she allowed the black sword to penetrate her heart.

Bang!

『Ding! The «Overheat» effect of the Adamantite Doomblade has been triggered!』

『Ding! «Overheat» - Each strike dealt or each hit taken has a chance to put a buff on you which makes your next strike inflict 200% more damage.』

With the activation of «Overheat», the color of the Adamantite Doomblade changed to crimson. Aditya ignored the words of the system as he thought that the battle was over.

Just as the tip of the black sword went all the way and appeared behind her, Victoria did something that confused Aditya. She put her right palm on his chest.

Aditya saw Victoriaʼs bracelets releasing dark purple energy. The dark purple energy traveled through the arm and reached her right palm that she had placed on his chest.

”What are....Boooooooooooom!!!!”

A powerful shockwave, followed by a powerful explosion came out of her right palm and hit his body.

Ashton and Daxton who were watching widened their eyes in deep shock as they saw Aditya sent flying. Adityaʼs entire body was engulfed in flames as his back flew toward the distant forest and mountain.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Everything was blurred to Aditya. All he was saw a blur. At that moment his mind was busy processing what just happened and couldnʼt process what was happening around him. His back hit countless tree trunks, mountains, and boulders. Whatever came in his path was destroyed completely. Nothing was able to stop him.

While breaking everything in his path, a meteorite-like object flew in a straight path for almost 15 km.

Bang!

His back hit a 5-meter-wide tree trunk. The hundred years old tree trunk was completely shattered making the tree fall while his body continued flying back. All these happened in less than a second. This process was repeated countless times.

Until his body crashed into a 100 meters big rocky mountain.

Bang!!!!!!

A few seconds later, Aditya tried to open his eyes, only to find his vision, half recovered in blood. Blood was rolling down his eyes. He somehow looked at his right and his left. There were rocks around him.

The impact had created a mini crater on the rocky mountain itself. The violent impact had caused large cracks to appear all over the mountain. Itʼs a miracle that this mountain hadnʼt collapsed yet.

Aditya couldnʼt move. One moment he saw everything clearly, the other moment everything became blurry. His consciousness was on the brink of collapsing forever. His entire body was in tormenting pain. The pain was unbearable. And here Aditya used to think that he was used to pain.

ʼI canʼt move. I canʼt eat any 5-star healing pill that Julia has made for me.ʼ Aditya blinked his eyes and remembered what happened after he stabbed her in the heart.

ʼThose bracelets are not super healing artifacts. Rather, those bracelets have a different function.ʼ Aditya mocked himself for thinking that those bracelets were healing artifacts.

His entire body was covered in blood. His handsome face was covered in blood. Almost every single bone in his body was broken. At most, he had a minute left before he would eventually die in this place.

ʼThose bracelets can absorb damage. Each time my attack damaged or injured her body, those damages were absorbed by the bracelet, making it look as if she was healing. But in reality, those bracelets stored all the damage and released everything at me. This is also why she didnʼt protect herself from facing such a powerful explosion. From the beginning, she had set a trap for me.ʼ

ʼIf I die here, then we will surely lose this war. If that happens, many people are going to suffer.ʼ Aditya was now regretting not using Soul Blaze and Dragon Transformation. He thought that he can defeat her without using those two skills.

If not for those bracelets, Aditya would have defeated her within a minute.

”Hehe! This is my chance.” Hiding in the shadow, a man creepily smiled while staring at Aditya.

Soon, an Assassin whose entire body was covered in black clothes emerged from the shadow. Seeing the Assassin, Aditya felt that this truly was the end of him. There is no way that he can fight the Assassin in his current condition.

”With this, all the money will be mine.” The Assassin took out a dagger to end Adityaʼs life.

Meanwhile,

As Aditya was sent flying, Victoria had a bitter smile on her face as she stared at the golden bracelets. These golden bracelets were her trump card. The ability to absorb any physical damage and release it to the opponent gave her an upper hand. Today she had no choice but to use its function as she knew that she cannot defeat Aditya without using it.

Victoria took out the Adamantite Doomblade from her heart. While her body healed, the golden bracelets slowly began to crack. With second passing seconds, the cracks slowly spread. As her body was almost finished healing, the bracelets shattered.

«Damage Absorption»
