Dragon Monarch System

Huff! Huff!

Cough!

Aditya coughed out a mouthful of blood before falling to his knees. The Dragon Monarch could feel his vision getting blurred. His entire body was in unbearable pain. Aditya wanted to scream as loudly as he could but he had no strength to do that. Blood slowly leaked out from several parts of his body. His right heart stopped beating.

'This feeling.....When was the last time I felt something like this?' The Dragon Monarch...no rather the man who became the Istarin empire's Emperor.....the man who became the Dragon Monarch...asked himself.

Even with his blurred vision, he can faintly see the Maneater monster's body starting to crack. Even a second felt like an eternity for Aditya. As he watched the Maneater monster's body crack his remaining consciousness began to wonder. He began to question himself.

'I strangely feel warm even though I am about to pass out for who knows how long. I strangely feel peaceful even though I have come so near death. At least, Father can get out of this place. At least, I was able to save Princess Lara who is my wife even though I still haven't done a thing for her. At least, Rose now won't be trapped in this frozen world. This familiar warming and peaceful feeling.....Am I experiencing this because I am about to die?' Aditya remembered when he died on Earth, he experienced something similar but back then he was full of regret. He regretted living a life of no happiness. He regretted living a life without any real friends or family. He regretted hiding his personality behind a mask.

Right now Aditya's consciousness was like a candle that was about to burn out. Once the candle burned out, Aditya will die. With each passing thought, Aditya could feel his strength living in this body. He could feel his soul slowly starting to shatter.

When he thought about his 1st death on earth, he remembered the regrets that he had in his life. Remembering the regrets, made Aditya remember the things which he still hasn't done. The responsibilities that he has in this world.

'I still haven't achieved my dream yet. I still haven't confessed my love to Riya yet. I still haven't given Alicia enough time. I still haven't spent enough time with my first wife. I still have to save this world from evil forces. I still have to help that woman. I don't want to die before I see my child. There are thousands of other things which I want to do but it seems I have run out of time.' Aditya began to have a deep regret. The regret he had in his past life was nothing compared to the regret that he was having now.

'At least I have won.'

That was the last thing Aditya thought before he closed his eyes. At the same time, the monster's body began to crack. Cracks spread all over the monster's body. The Maneater monster roared at Aditya before its entire body started to break down like glass. At the same time, Aditya returned to his human form before falling to the ground.

Seeing everything calm down, Adam did not wait any longer. He jumped down from the floating island and rushed at Aditya. He moved as fast as he could. Never in his life, Adam has wanted to run this faster.

'You better now die brat. I don't want my daughter to lose her smile and her source of happiness. I don't want my daughter to become a widow at such a young age.' At rushing at Aditya, drops of sparkling tears fall to the ground. Right now, no one thinks that the Furious Wild of the Echo Dominion Empire would cry for a boy whom he had met not so long ago.

"Rose, take me there." Lara's entire body trembled as she blankly stared in Aditya's direction.

"But Milady, If I take you there at such high speed, then your body might not be able to handle it. Why don't you wait here....ROSE, DIDN'T YOU HEAR WHAT I JUST SAID?' Rose widened her eyes seeing Her Highness losing her calm. This was the first time, Lara has lost her temper. Before today, Rose has never seen Princess Lara lose her temper like this.

Rose silently nodded before picking up Lara in her arms. The next second, Rose also disappeared. Rose created a barrier around her to make sure that the strong wind and snow won't be able to affect Her Highness.

Adam managed to reach Aditya at his top speed. It still took him 71 seconds to reach Aditya. Adam kneeled before while staring at his son-in-law's face. His current condition was really worse. His entire body was covered in blood. Red blood was coming out of his mouth and his nose without stopping. Every single bone in his body was broken and shattered. His leg, thigh, chest, and arms muscles were torn apart. In some areas, Adam could even see Aditya's bones.

If a normal human had even 1/10 of Aditya's injuries, that human instantly would have died. It's already a miracle that Aditya was still alive.

'He is still alive. But he can die at any given second.' Aditya had long stopped breathing. His heart wasn't beating either. It was his black heart that was still keeping him alive. Otherwise, Aditya would have died the moment the Maneater monster had put his right arm into his heart.

If Adam had to describe Aditya's current condition then he would say that the current Aditya's Aura was so weak that it was difficult to even sense Aura from far away. Adam almost thought that Aditya had died when he was far away.

Adam quickly scanned his storage ring, looking for the highest star healing potion or pill. However to Adam's frustration and anger, all the healing pills in his storage ring were either 3-star or beginner 4-star. The only few 5-star healing pills that he had was used on himself to recover when he had fought his duplicate version.

'Let's check if Aditya has any 5-star healing pills.' Not all hope was lost. Adam managed to find a 5-star beginner healing potion that Julia created with Riya's help. The potion was green in color and was stored in a test tube.

Adam quickly opened the lid and put the green slightly sparkling liquid in Aditya's mouth. He then closed Aditya's mouth and nose to make sure that not even a single drop of this liquid is wasted. As the green liquid reached down Aditya's throat, a green Aura covered his entire body.

Sigh!

'Fortunately, blood has stopped flowing out of his body.' Adam noticed no blood was coming out of his mouth and nose. He also noticed that Aditya's Aura which was about to burn out had somewhat stabilized.

'Fortunately, this brat is not going to die.' Adam wiped the tears that were making his vision blur. Adam checked if there was any other 5-star healing pills or potion in the storage ring but to his disappointment, he couldn't find any other potion or pill of 5-star rank.

A few seconds later, Rose and Lara also arrived. Seeing Aditya's condition, even before Rose could gently put her Highness down, Lara struggled and came down. She then quickly ran up to Aditya with her weak and malnourished body.

Her hands trembled as she gently reached out to hold Aditya's face. Drops of tears started falling from Lara's eyes to Aditya's eyes before rolling down. Seeing that man who was her husband covered in blood without moving, really hurt Lara. Lara gently stroked Aditya's cheek; wiping the blood that covered his face with a sad smile on her face. Lara was having an emotional breakdown.

While Rose had experienced living in this world for more than 53 years. But for Princess Lara, on the other hand, to her 53 years passed like an afternoon. She went to sleep knowing that the next time she woke up, she might never see her family, parents, brothers, sisters, and her Empire again. Rose still managed to handle herself. She was comforted by the man who was going to be her husband. But now not even an hour later, she was witnessing her husband on the verge of death. This was just too much pain for her.

Rose has never seen Her Highness shed tears like this. Back in their time, no matter how difficult things became, Princess Lara never shed a tear. She might have a weak body, but her mind and heart were very strong. Seeing someone cry like this, Rose felt hurt. It pained Rose to see her lady cry like this.

"Milady, Aditya...His Highness is still alive. I can feel his Aura." Rose's words seem to have given the little bit of hope that Lara wanted to cling to.

"Really? You're not lying right?" Rose smile before nodding her head.

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