Dragon Monarch System

"Now, only one last thing is left,!!" As he started moving towards the Hydra, a dazzling Crimson light enveloped his entire body. Everyone's eyes, including the Hydra's, were fixed on him as Aditya began his astonishing transformation into a dragon.

Aditya's form shifted into that of the Divine Crimson Storm Dragon which was his true, majestic dragon identity. This moment marked the first time Aditya had revealed his divine dragon form to the world.

As the transformation was completed, the Dragon Monarch couldn't contain his instinctual power and let out a formidable roar. The sheer force of the roar was so powerful that it felt as if the very air around him vibrated.

In his dragon form, Aditya stood a colossal 100 meters tall, with two magnificent, large crimson wings unfurling from his back. His arms had transformed into powerful dragon claws, shining white against the backdrop of his thick, red-scaled body. His eyes glowed darkly, with crimson red pupils that had vertical slits, giving him a fearsome appearance. Atop his head, two large, straight horns rose proudly. His teeth were large and white, gleaming menacingly, and whenever he breathed, tiny wisps of crimson flame flickered near his nostrils. His tongue matched the crimson red of his scales, and the tip of his tail blazed with a fierce crimson flame.

Amelia who watching everything from a distance, was captivated by the sight of Aditya in his Dragon form. She was unable to look away. The reaction from the people witnessing this transformation was a mixture of awe, fear, and wonder. They had never seen their Emperor in such a formidable form. To them, Aditya had always been a powerful leader, but the sight of him as the Divine Crimson Storm Dragon opened their eyes to the true extent of his power.

This was their Emperor, a being of incredible strength and majesty, revealing his divine essence for the first time.

『Ding! You have activated.....』

Because Aditya had transformed into a Dragon did not mean that all of his injuries had somehow magically disappeared. One could see his injuries just by looking at his face. To the eyes of others, Aditya's Massive body turned into a Crimson light and headed towards the 8-headed Hydra. Grrraaaooowwwl!!!!!

Upon witnessing Aditya, the Hydra unleashed an earth-shattering roar that echoed ominously through the air.

The Hydra then opened all its eight heads and shot out green beams at Aditya. These beams zigzagged through the air because they could change direction at any time.

Aditya who was now in his dragon shape, quickly dodged the laser beams. But he saw the green beams turn sharply and keep coming after him. They were very fast and started to get closer to him.

From Azure City, all the people watching could see eight green beams chasing after a bright red light. It looked like the red light, Aditya wasn't moving fast enough, and the green beams were about to catch him.

Right when the green beams were nearly touching Aditya, he vanished and then appeared again, 20 meters closer to the Hydra.

But the beams were quick to follow, once again gaining on him in no time.

As Aditya flew near the Hydra, with the beams right behind him, the Hydra got ready to strike at him too. Just before the Hydra and the beams could hit him, Aditya teleported away. The beams couldn't turn in time, so they hit the Hydra instead.

Booooom.....!!!!!

Aditya had teleported behind the Hydra. Aditya was currently able to teleport faster than he ever had been. It was because the Dragon Palace also gave him the passive ability to teleport anywhere within 25 km range and his skill 'Crimson Wrap Flash' allowed him to teleport anywhere he looked. Aditya wasn't about to let the Hydra get its bearings back. He zipped through space and reappeared instantly behind the massive creature. With the Hydra's body stretching over 2000 meters, Aditya's dragon form, though a hundred meters in size, looked tiny in comparison.

"I hope this works!!" Aditya muttered to himself. He had never attempted something like this before.

As The Divine Crimson Storm Dragon, he commanded the fearsome Scarlett Inferno flames, known for their intense heat.

Aditya held onto the Hydra tightly and began channeling his power to make the flames even hotter.

Before, he hadn't been strong enough to do this, but his newfound understanding of the Fire Element when he reached Beginner 4th order had unlocked new potential. He was ready to test his limits.

At first, nothing seemed to happen. Aditya quickly realized the issue. The Hydra was simply too big. It was normal to make such mistakes after all this was his first time fighting as big as this. Knowing this, he decided to pour more than [3000+] units of his Mana. Aditya was determined to raise the temperature of the Hydra's body from the inside.

Seconds ticked by, and soon the Hydra started to feel the heat building within. Its insides began to scorch as if they were ablaze.

Realizing Aditya's tactic, the Hydra thrashed wildly. The Hydra was trying to dislodge him. It swung its enormous body in every direction, but Aditya tightly clung to its body. He was determined to make sure that this worked.

The heat continued to rise, and the Hydra's movements grew more frantic, but Aditya was relentless.

He was turning the Hydra's insides into a furnace, and there was nothing it could do to stop him.

"What Aditya is doing?" Currently, all the top powers in the Azure City have joined hands to make a stronger Mana Shield around the whole city so that the impact between both of their battles does not accidentally destroy the capital of the Istarin Empire. "I feel like he is trying to increase the temperature of the Hydra's body. And it must be working since the Hydra is looking very restless." Julia's guess was indeed correct. From the pain of feeling the inside of its body being burned alive, the Hydra was roaring out let in pain. Grrraaaooowwwl!!!!!

"Should we help His Majesty?" Asked Amber. The generals also had joined in protecting the Capital. Amelia merely shook her head. "There is no need. If we tried to help then we would only get in his way. Also, given how powerful that Hydra is, I don't even think all of us here attacking the Hydra at the same time would hardly make any difference." Amelia and others still clearly just how quickly the Hydra killed so many Peak 5th-order cultivators within a few seconds. The best that they currently do is protect the city and its people. Because if the Azure City was destroyed then it would be catastrophic. Meanwhile, regardless of what happened, Aditya did not let go. His claws pierced through its skin. Grrraaaooowwwl!!!!!!!!

The Hydra let out one last loud painful roar before its body started melting from inside. The Hydra stopped struggling entirely.

Seeing this Aditya let go of the Hydra. He was only 50% done. Normally this much would have been enough to end the Hydra.

However, the Hydra had a special skill known as Forbidden Sacrifice. The skill known as Forbidden Sacrifice essentially gave the Hydra extra lives. The next second, the Hydra sacrificed two of its heads. Two of the Hydra's heads turned into a golden light. The golden light was then absorbed by the Hydra. The golden light spread throughout the entire Hydra's body. Just like before, the Hydra had returned to its Peak Health. "What just happened?" "How did the Hydra heal itself?" "It's because of Forbidden Sacrifice. Let me explain" As Amelia had studied about Hydras, she began to explain to everyone. Meanwhile, Aditya's battle with the Hydra was far from being over. Huff...!!! Huff.....!!!

Aditya was breathing slightly heavily. He was starting to get tired. 'Even though I have such an enormous amount of Mana, just killing the Hydra twice has consumed [7,000+] units of Mana. To completely defeat this Hydra, I will need to kill it one more time so that I can force it to use Forbidden Sacrifice. After that, I will need to kill it one last time.'

'I only have around [6000+] mana left. [1,200+] comes from the Mana Reservoir Stone that I am currently wearing. And [1000+] comes from the Bracelet of Wind Fairy.' 'This is going to be a tough and a long battle...!!!'
