Dragon Monarch System

Dylan, the second general of the Zulux dynasty was currently looking slightly pale as fear could be seen reflecting in his eyes. 20 meters in front of him, there was a huge wave of black flame that threatened to devour the earth and heavens. The wave of the black flame was 15 meters high and 30 meters wide. The attack was strong enough to easily annihilate a small part of the army.

Flame Orb!

Knowing that the black flame was stronger than a normal fire, Dylan used nearly [110+] mana to make a fire orb that was 2 times bigger than the black flame wave. Seeing two terrifying attacks of 3rd-order cultivators about to collide, all the soldiers regardless of any kingdom began to run for their life.

"Run"

"Run as far as you can."

While running, some soldiers who have earth affinity used their affinity to make an earth wall in hope of reducing the shockwave that was going to come from a collision between two 3rd-order attacks.

To protect the soldiers of the Istarin Kingdom, the other three Wyverns used mana to make huge mana shields to hold the shockwave. Each mana shield was 50 meters wide and 20 meters tall. Each shield looked like a thin glass barrier. For a 1st-order, breaking these simple and weak-looking mana shields would be nearly impossible but for 3rd-order, these glass shields were nothing in front of their attacks.

"Everyone use your mana to protect your bodies." Zayne's loud voice was heard right before the explosion took place. The soldiers didn't hesitate to use almost all of their mana to create a small transparent mana barrier in front of them. It was not just the Istarin soldiers, but also the enemy forces who did the same in hopes of surviving.

This is why both Darren and Aditya moved away and fought in another place near the battlefield. Both of them knew that their attacks were too powerful for 1st-orders. One of their attacks could potentially kill thousands if not ten thousand soldiers at the same time.

Even the weakest 3d-order attack is more than an average 1st order soldier can handle. Not everyone soldier was rich and had the money to afford even the lowest tier artifact. Only a very few soldiers were able to afford enough money to buy a cheap 1-star defensive or offensive artifact.

Just as everyone finished creating the barrier, the explosion that everyone was anticipating came.

Boooom!

The collision between 3rd order fire attacks created a massive explosion which resulted in the formation of a massive wave of flame that spread to nearly every corner of the battlefield. If not for the barriers that every made around themselves, if not for the 3 giant mana shields created by the three Wyverns, nearly everyone on the battlefield would have died.

From afar, as Aditya was approaching the battlefield after finishing Darren, he stopped seeing a massive mushroom of clouds rising in the sky. The explosion created as a result of two 3rd-order attacks was so huge that even from 10 km away, the people living near the borders, in small villages could feel the earth shake as they all heard the thunderous sound of the explosion.

Meanwhile at the battlefield, for a brief period of time, the whole battlefield was covered in flames. It was like the whole world had become a world of flames. The earth was scorched black, and the soldiers who were near the explosion couldn't withstand the massive shockwave and fainted after several seconds.

After about an entire minute, the rumbling sound started dying down. The whole battlefield was still covered in smoke and dust. When the dust started settling down, Zayne and others generals were left horrified seeing a 100 meters deep crater in the center of the battlefield.

Not everyone soldier had enough mana to create a strong barrier that could withstand the shockwave. Thousands of soldiers immediately died when their mana shields shattered due to the shockwave. While the soldiers who were near the explosion instantly died and their bodies turned to ash. The shockwave near the explosion was stronger compared to other parts of the battlefield. Except for a few hundred soldiers, more than 5,000 soldiers from both sides instantly turned to ash.

Huff! huff!

"If not for these three Wyverns creating powerful mana barriers, most of our soldiers would have been wiped out." The fear was still lingering in Zayne's eyes.

Cough!

Zayne turned around to find the Majin village head, Zachary coughing blood while holding his chest. His arms and cheeks were slightly burned. "What happened to you?" Zayne assumed all the Majins had taken shelter in their shadows to escape the shockwave.

"I was trying to save several injured soldiers but in the end, I was a millisecond late." If Zachary took another one or two seconds to hide in his shadow, then his entire body would have been burned to charcoal black.

Cough!

"Are you alright?" Scott asked. His face looked pale. It was not just Scott, everyone's faces turned pale due to mana loss. To survive that explosion everyone had to use all of their mana to harden their mana shield.

"This old man is alright. By the way, is the enemy general is dead? I can't sense his mana anymore."

Everyone turned their heads in the direction of the huge 100 meters deep crater. "I am not sure. But I can faintly feel that man's mana. But his mana is currently very weak. It's like a candle that is about to burn out." Scott as a dark elf had better senses compared to the rest. Due to his high senses, he can even shoot arrows even if he is blindfolded, though his range would be limited to only 80 meters.

Meanwhile, at the center of the battlefield, there was a 100 meters deep crater. The crater was 100 meters big. At the center of the crater, there were two beings who were lying on the ground with numerous injuries on their bodies.

The 10 meters giant Wyvern was lying on the ground. He already had lost his consciousness from the explosion. Even if his black flame was stronger compared to normal fire, his mana was not enough to compete against a Mid 3rd-order. His black Wyvern wings were burned with smoke coming from them. There was a deep wound on his chest which was bleeding. If he doesn't get treated, there is a chance that he will die soon.

Dylan's condition was even worse than the Wyvern's. The only reason he was still conscious and not dead is because of the defensive artifact that he carries with him. Despite having a Peak-grade 2-star defense artifact, Dylan's entire body was full of wounds. The wounds were so serious that no 1st or 2nd-order would be able to survive with these wounds.

The half dwarf's body was entirely burned black. His left eye wasn't spared either, the eyes were burned. Dark red blood was coming from multiple parts of his body. Even the holes of his nose were burned to the point where he could neither smell nor breathe through his nose. Right now Dylan looked like a demon that crawled out of Hell.

"You bastard. I will ****ing kill you." Dylan knew even if he managed to survive today, his body would never be the same. He had permanently lost his eye and his left hand which was burned to the point where he can see his left-hand bones. Even if Dylan wanted to heal himself, he would need at least a Peak 3-star healing potion.

And why would the Zulux dynasty spend a healing potion that is considered a national treasure on someone who has lost the battle and was half crippled? If anything the Zulux Dynasty king will personally execute Dylan for failing to win the battle which cost them their reputation and only bought them humiliation.

"Don't worry, I will end your miserable and pathetic life right here." Aditya could have used a special rune spell to make Dylan his slave. The current Dylan was so weak that he can't even fight an average normal human. Heck, even a 10 years old boy could easily kill him.

There would be no use in turning someone who is already half-crippled into a slave. Not to mention the huge amount of resources Aditya would have to use to heal his severely damaged body. "I thank you for the free experience points."

Slash!

The silent battlefield heard the sound of Dylan's head falling on the ground.

[Ding! You have killed a Mid 3rd-order cultivator. You have gained experience points]

[Ding! You have leveled up.]

[Ding! You have leveled up.]

[Ding! You have leveled up.]

[Ding! You have leveled up.]

[Ding! You have.....]

After killing Dylan, Aditya immediately went to his pet Wyvern. At this point, even if he wanted to, he cannot lose a 3rd-order. It was only because of this Wyvern, that Aditya was able to kill two Mid 3rd-order generals and secure their second and one of the most important wins in this war.

"Julia still can't make 3-star healing pills due to lack of materials." Aditya had Peak 2-star healing pills which were slightly more powerful than average Peak 2-star healing pills. The healing pills made by the Goddess of Alchemy had some special materials that stimulated the regeneration speed of the body.

After feeding five peak 2-star healing pills, Aditya finally saw the result. Wyvern's body was rapidly healing. The black scale that was damaged from the attack was now starting to heal and regain its original color.

"Now that the two generals have been taken care of, the rest of the battle should be easy." Aditya walked out of the crater to find the whole battlefield staring at him in silence. The soldiers were too shocked to continue this battle. Before today, other than a few handfuls of soldiers, no one had seen a fight between two 3rd-orders.

Seeing the clash between two 3rd-orders, they realized how terrifying 3rd-orders were. They also realized their mistake. When the battle between the two 3rd-order started, they should have retreated back and fought far away.

"General Darren and General Dylan are dead." Aditya, The Crimson Dragon's voice was heard all over the battlefield. No one dared to interrupt Aditya. Since Aditya was here, standing in front of them with a wound above his right chest, it meant that general Darren was also dead.

"Now that your generals are dead. You have two options. First, you continue this fight and die or second you all drop your weapons and kneel on the ground with your hands raised up in the air and surrender to the Istarin Kingdom." Hearing Aditya's words almost 80% of the Zulux Dynasty troops dropped their weapons while some stubborn soldiers kept standing. They weren't willing to betray their motherland. Even if they were treated harshly in the army, they were not going to surrender without a fight.

"For those who are still holding their weapon and standing, is that your final answer?" This time Aditya asked while releasing all of his killing intent. The killing intent of a 2nd-order was no joke. Everyone's faces turned pale as their legs began to shiver.

When Aditya looked in their direction, the soldiers who were still stubbornly standing dropped to their knees and lowered their heads. They dared not to look at this demon. Just looking at his red eyes, they felt like they were looking at hell.

"From now on, the troops of the Zulux Dynasty will be my war prisoners. We have won this 2nd battle against the Zulux Dynasty. But our battle is not over. We will not stop until we have our revenge on the enemy. We will let the world know that the Istarin Kingdom is not a Kingdom that anyone can bully."

Hearing Aditya's loud speech, all the Istarin soldiers felt an adrenaline rush. It was as if their King's words had some kind of magic that erased their exhaustion.
