Dragon Monarch System
chapter-103

'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.

About 3 km away, Adam cut the Peak 3rd-order goblin in half. After dealing with the last of the 3rd-order goblins that had grouped on him, he turned his attention to the north. In the north, he saw a red-orange color of the magma.

Boooom!

Suddenly he and others heard a loud explosion sound. When the black smoke of the explosion disappeared, Aditya gritted his teeth seeing Seth protected by a thin round barrier.

'Damn, this barrier saved him again.' This was the 3rd time this damn barrier had stopped Aditya's attack from hitting Seth.

"You're the first person whom I have known to have the power to control and manipulate Magma. But that won't be enough to end my life. Many have come to kill me but always have ended up getting killed instead." The 2 meters tall blue-skinned Goblin showed a sly smile.

Aditya replied with a calm smile. "We will see." Inside the Dragon King wasn't calm at all. Previously he wanted to kill Seth in a few minutes before taking advantage of the effect of the Aura of soul fire to kill as many goblins as he can. But now Aditya was having doubted if he can kill this goblin before he ran out of time.

"I will be honest, I was quite enjoying exchanging sword moves with you. But that has to come to an end." Seth had a cruel smile on his face as he charged at Aditya.

Aditya also had no sympathy for this blue-skinned Goblin. His hate for the goblins was very deep. After all, it was the goblin that had invaded their land and caused this big battle where hundreds of thousands of people will inevitably die.

Blue lightning started cracking and flickering around Aditya's body as he charged at Seth at his full speed which had reached [870+] after he activated lightning dash.

Clang!

'He is fast' Seth gritted his teeth as Aditya was overwhelming him. Before their speed was the same. The only reason that Seth managed to push him was because of his genius level sword skills. But now that Aditya's agility had suddenly increased by [100+], Seth was barely able to see follow Aditya's fast movement.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Over the next 10 seconds, Aditya continued to overwhelm Seth. The only reason the goblin was able to barely able to defend Aditya's moves was that he was able to predict where Aditya was going to try to hit him. Even though he can't defend against Aditya's every attacking move, he was able to stop the life-threatening strikes.

After 10 seconds. Seth was panting heavily while tightly holding his sword. There were many cuts on his forearms, cheeks, thighs, ribs, and shoulders. Blood was dripping on the magma. He looked tired from the overwhelming pressure. Being attacked by Aditya, he was required to maintain his full focus. If he lost his focus even for a millisecond that could have ended his life.

Clang!

'He is too fast. Should I use that skill? At this rate, I might become too exhausted to continue. I have no other choice.' While going to attack Seth, Aditya suddenly noticed that the Aura around Seth was changing.

Aditya did not pay too much attention to that. He horizontally swung the mid-5-star sword aiming to slice Seth's throat in one slash.

Bang!

Once again this damn barrier saved Seth by blocking Aditya's attacks. Aditya moved a few steps back.

Over the next 10 seconds, Seth wasn't able to defend against Aditya's moves. However every time he aimed to slice his throat or stab his heart or his head, the thin transparent barrier saved him.

'Dammit. How the hell I am supposed to defeat him like this?' This was the 10th time the barrier had protected Seth. 'There has to be some sort of limit on how many times the barrier can be used in a battle.' No armor, no skill, and no cultivator were invincible. Aditya believed that his armor should have some sort of limits or restrictions.

Clang!

Seth managed to defend against another attack from Aditya. At this point, he was out of stamina. How can a goblin have the same stamina as a Dragon? Not to mention the fact that Seth's opponent was irregular. An abnormal being that was able to push him, injure him and make him bleed even though he was only a Peak 2nd-order cultivator.

'Not good, I am starting to lose sight of him.' Seth panted heavily as he was running out of mana. He was standing on a river of magma that was 10 times if not 100 times hotter than normal magma. Even though being a peak 4th-order cultivator gave him resistance to normal flames, the magma was still powerful enough to severely hurt him. To protect his body, he had to cover his whole body with a layer of mana.

Unlike Aditya who had a vast reserve of mana, Seth only had around [400+] mana. His main weapon was his sword. After constant clashes with Aditya, he only had around [190+] mana.

Meanwhile, Aditya noticed that Seth was beginning to lose his former speed. Aditya saw this as a chance and immediately used the skill that he has been wanting to use.

At the same time, Seth also had the same thoughts in his mind. Since he was beginning to run out of mana and stamina, he wanted to end this.

"Aditya, get ready, this will be my final attack." Seth jumped and retreated 50 meters away from Aditya. The dragon king also did the same and moved away.

Aditya saw Seth raising his sword before slashing the air diagonally.

"Calamity of hundred wind blades."

Seth's face turned pale. His blue skin started losing its blue color. At the same time, Aditya found hundreds of wind blades heading in his direction.

The dragon king looked at Seth in disappointment. He was expecting more than that. Each wind blade was about 10 meters long and 4 meters wide. The wind blades were heading in his direction from 3 sides.

Aditya lightly tapped the magma with his front stop. Before the wind blades could come anywhere near Aditya, a huge wall that was made of magma defended him. The wall was like a great separation, dividing the whole world into two.

Boooom!

The wind blades exploded after hitting the wall of magma.

At the same time, just when Seth lowered his guard while coughing out a large mouthful of blood. At this point, his blue skin had turned grey. Suddenly a figure appeared behind him like a shadow.

Bang!

Cough!!!!

Seth coughed out another large mouthful of blood. He looked down glancing at the black sword that just pierced his heart. It was Aditya who just landed the attack. He had flown behind Seth while both of their attacks exploded. With his Mid-5-star black sword, it was very easy to penetrate the 4-star armor.

"That was a nice fight.....Be careful of them....Cough!...They will target you." Seth weakly spoke as he began losing consciousness.

Huff!

Aditya took a deep breath watching Seth take his last breath. Seth's skin had turned grey. Aditya sighed before using his right hand to close his eyes. This was the least he can do to respect him. The magma beneath them started devouring Seth as he no longer protected his body with mana.

『Ding! You have killed a Peak 4th-order Goblin warrior. Your experience points have been saved.』

『Ding! The system has detected that you have saved up many experience points. Does the host wish to break through 3rd-order?』

Aditya did not reply. He instead put Seth's armor which was damaged and his sword in his space ring.

『Time until Aura of Soul Fire will remain activated: - 5:39』

Before Aditya can reply, he felt a strong gust of wind before he was sent flying with a powerful kick.

Aditya was sent flying like a cannonball.

Fortunately, Aditya was able to use the wings to prevent himself from crashing to the ground. From the sky, he looked at the area where his magma flowed. He found three royal goblins standing on flowing magma and also looking at Aditya.

The dragon felt as if his ribs had cracked from the kick. Enduring the pain, he coldly looked at the three royal goblins and found that all of them are Peak 4th-order cultivators.

"It looks like my slave failed to eliminate you."

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