Dragon Monarch System

"How long are you going to stand there and watch?" Aditya indifferently asked while easily killing another 20 devil crows that just came out of the portal carrying 300 goblins with them.

"Hehe! I am surprised that you noticed me. Human or should I say Dragon." Aditya lowered his head and looked at the 2 meters tall goblin with blue skin that easily stood out from the horde of goblins. The goblin was very different looking compared to normal goblins. It had a muscular built body. It almost looked like a human if not for its ugly and nasty-looking face that can traumatize a child.

This mutated goblin with blue skin has been observing Aditya ever since he walked out of the portal. Aditya's Crimson flame had caught his attention. At first, he thought that Aditya was a human. But his assumption turned out to be wrong as he found that Aditya was actually a Dragon. Given how well, Aditya was able to control flames, he thought Aditya was a fire Dragon.

"It looks like you have been observing me for a while now." Aditya was able to feel this goblin's cultivation when his stats increased by 40%. With the increase in his stats, his body also improved in many ways. His senses also had become shaper than before.

'I wonder why he still hasn't attacked me yet?' Aditya thought while coldly killing another group of goblins that came out of the portal.

"Since you have found me, why don't we have a fight? We all know how this is going to end anyway." His plan was to wait till Aditya was exhausted. Even though this goblin was a Peak 4th-order, he did not underestimate his enemy. If he had fought exhausted Aditya, then his chances of winning will only further increased.

The 2-meters tall blue-skin mutated goblin was wearing a black Cuirass. Two green pauldrons that had small spikes on them covered his right and left shoulders; where the body piece and arm piece joined. The goblin wore green vambraces to cover his forearms. Beneath all the armors, the goblin wore black clothes. He also had a swordbelt around his waist where he kept his sword.

Compared to the goblin, Aditya wasn't anything any armor at all. Aditya was not that fond of wearing armor. Most of the time he would always fight enemies without needing any armor.

"My name is Seth Barrett. Before we start the fight, I would like to know your name." Aditya raised his right eyebrow in surprise. He thought all goblins had some Chinese names.

"My name is Aditya."

『Time until Aura of Soul Fire will remain activated: - 8:49』

'I don't have much time. I will have to finish this Goblin before my Aura of soul fire deactivates.' The Aura of Soul fire had given Aditya a 40% boost in his stats. This boost in his stats would allow him to go against the Peak 4th-order goblin named Seth.

Aditya and Seth stared at each other for a second before both disappeared. No one knew where they went. Both beings moved so fast that almost on one in the battlefield could tell where they went or which direction they went.

Far away, about almost 8 km away from the portal, in the northern part of the battlefield, two powerful being's first attacks collided.

Bang!

The first attack was more thing testing each other's strength. After the first exchange, Aditya and Seth both retreated back.

'His strength is amazing.' Aditya secretly looked down and found his left hand trembling slightly. Although he acted calm like he did not feel any pain, his whole left arm was aching in pain. The attack almost would have broken his left arm if he had not transformed both of his arms into dragon claws.

The attack impact slowed down his left arm movement by 30%. There were even a few small cracks on his bones.

'I guess I was overestimating my ability a little too much. In the end, this goblin is a Peak 4th-order powerhouse.' Aditya realized his mistake. Other than his mana, Aditya's other stats cannot be compared with Peak 4th-order Goblin Seth's stats.

Eruption Wave!

Knowing that his mana was way higher than Seth's, Aditya was going to take full advantage of that. He lightly tapped the ground with his right foot causing the earth under Aditya to turn magma. He wasn't affected by the magma.

Like soundwaves, the magma began spreading in all directions. Seth easily jumped in the air seeing the earth around him beginning to turn into magma. "That's an interesting ability you have."

With his strength, he can easily jump more than 50 meters above the ground.

In a few seconds, the ground around Aditya was turned into magma. The sudden change caused many goblins who were fighting nearby to die in an instant but Seth and Aditya didn't seem to care about those Goblins.

The Dragon King did not reply. He coldly looked at Seth. Aditya lightly tapped the magma with his right step. Seth widened his eyes in disbelief as he watched a glob of red hot liquid that was even hotter than flame being shot towards him.

The blue-skinned Goblin grabbed the sword from his waist. He then diagonally swung his sword releasing a sharp wind blade that instantly cut the glob of red hot magma in a half.

From this exchange, both of them now had a better understanding of each other's abilities. Seth understood that aside from Crimson Flame, Aditya can also control magma. While he found that this nasty-looking goblin can use wind element.

Boom!

Seeing his attack had failed, Aditya did not show any disappointment. He instead got ready to use another attack. Meanwhile, Seth had reached 50 meters above the ground. He did not dare take his eyes off his opponent as he had seen what this Dragon can do.

'Eruption wave and Crimson Blaze, are both attacks powers are limited to my imagination.' Aditya frequently used his Crimson blaze to try coming up with new kinds of attacks. This is what he was doing with his Eruption Wave.

In the next second under Aditya's control, hundreds of 7 cm thick and 1 meter long red spikes were shot from the magma around Aditya. The magma spikes cut through the air and headed toward Seth.

Seth, who now was beginning to descend back to the ground looked at the hundreds of magma spikes with a little fear in his eyes. Even a Peak 4th-order like him did not have resistance against Magma. Not to mention the magma that Aditya was using was even more dangerous than normal magma. The temperature of the magma was really frightening.

The gravity was pulling Seth toward the earth. Each second his falling speed seems to be increasing. Hundreds of magma spikes were on their way to attack him from three sides.

Bang!

When the magma spikes were about to hit him, he thin transparent white barrier appeared around his body, protecting the Peak 4th-order goblin from Aditya's attacks.

'What is this ability? I don't think he used his mana to form this barrier.' Aditya's eyes fell on the armor that Seth was wearing. Those armors definitely were 3-star or maybe even 4-star.

"Wind Slash" While descending from the sky, Seth diagonally slashed his sword at Aditya. He did this to buy himself time to land on the ground. Unlike Aditya, he did not have the ability to fly. He was weak in the air as his movement was restricted.

10 meters large wind blade headed toward the Dragon King. Aditya moved to his right and dodged the wind blade, causing it to hit the magma behind Aditya.

Boom!

At this time Seth was about 20 meters above the ground. Before he could land, a human-like hand came out of Magma to grab his left leg.

'What the hell' Seth instinctively moved his left leg to avoid getting caught by the hand that was made by magma. Before he can sigh in relief, he widened his eyes seeing hundreds of hands coming out of the magma around.

'Shit!' Seth had no choice but to activate the circular, round thin transparent barrier around himself.

'This bastard is forcing me to use my 4-star breastplate ability.' The breastplate that Seth wore had the ability to form a barrier around his body. The barrier was strong enough to witness the attack of any 4th-order cultivator. However, he can only use this barrier 10 times a day. The 4-star armor also gave him a few more abilities, which could save him life in critical moments.

Seth managed to land on the ground which now had turned into a magma. Before he landed on the ground, he had covered his legs with his mana. Thus, he was able to walk and run while standing on magma.

After Seth landed, Aditya and Seth both rushed at the each other. Aditya had put the Peak 2-star Crimson dragon Wrath sword in his space ring as he only wanted to use the Adamantite Doomblade.

Clang!

Both of their swords clashed before Seth was forced to take a step back. He then looked at Aditya in surprise.

Aditya did not give Seth any chances, seeing that he had forced the blue skin goblin to take a step back, he gained some confidence and took the initiative to attack again. He once again diagonally swung the Adamantite Doomblade.

Clang!

Seth managed to block his attack this time. 'Even though the weight of his sword is frightening, I should be fine as long as I don't take direct attacks.' Aditya then noticed that instead of blocking his attacks, Seth was now deflecting his attacks.

After deflecting Aditya's attacks a few more times, Seth now was beginning to comprehend Aditya's sword swings. His swings followed a certain pattern which Seth soon understood. After exchanging 25 moves, during which Seth was mainly deflecting Aditya's attacks, the goblin was ready to take the aggressive stand.

Clang!

Clang!

'His fighting style has changed.' Aditya was secretly shocked in his heart. Before Seth was deflecting but now he was pushing Aditya. The dragon king now was barely defending against Seth.

'I guess he is naturally gifted in using sword.' Aditya's talent in swords was average. It was because of his Instant learning and adaptation skill that he managed to learn this far in such a short time. In fact, he regularly trained to improve his skills. Compared to Adtiya, Seth was the genius who was able to find flaws in Aditya's attacks within a minute.

Clang!

Clang!

If someone noticed then they would find the man who previously slaughtered thousands of goblins in matters of seconds was now being pushed by a mutated goblin.

Clang!

'Since I can't injure him with sword attacks, let's try this.' Right now as much as Aditya wanted to continue their sword fights, he did not have time. Aditya wouldn't deny the fact that after exchanging so many moves with Seth, his sword skills had greatly improved. With his instant learning and adaptation skill, Aditya felt if they continued exchanging moves for a few more hours, then he would reach a level where he can rival Seth in sword skills.

『Time until Aura of Soul Fire will remain activated: - 7:59』

He had to finish this before he ran out of time.

Aditya and Seth were fighting at their normal speed. But to others, they couldn't see Aditya and Seth. The only thing that they heard was constant metal colliding sounds. Sparks are few everywhere. No one dared to approach the area that was covered with magma. Almost 150 meters of the area had been turned into magma. The boiling magma flowed in that area.

The goblins and the humans kept their distance. They kept at least 500 meters distance from the area with magma as the high temperature of the magma was too much for the 1st-order and 2nd-order cultivators.

'He is improving.' Seth was a little scared given how fast Aditya was improving. A minute ago, he was able to read Aditya's attacking patterns and find his flaws. When he started attacking aggressively, Aditya barely was able to defend but now not only Aditya was able to defend comfortably, he even was able to counter back.

Aditya had no idea what was going on in Seth's head.

Clang!

Once again both of their swords clashed, creating sparks. It was then Seth felt something coming from behind. Being a Peak 4th-order his senses was very sharp. From the corner of his eyes, what he saw had his pupils contract to the size of the needle.

Really Thank you very much to all those who sends support with valuable golden tickets. I hope we can keep it up!!!
