"Yes, just stand like this and let you kill you already." Lewis had used the 3-star artifact to trap Aditya in a world of illusions. This artifact was strong enough to even trap 4th-orders in illusions. Lewis wouldn't have carried this artifact with him but he ended up bringing it because his gut told him that his artifact was going to be useful to him.
Lewis slowly walked up to Aditya. Just like Aditya, his body was filled with pain. He just wanted to kill Aditya and leave. "I will come back after recovering my injuries. Though I am not sure if I can regrow my left arm."
Looking at his missing left arm, Lewis felt his heart boil in anger. He never thought that he would have to sacrifice this much just to capture a 3-tier Kingdom. "As long as you're gone, I can easily take over your Kingdom."
Lewis was about to pierce Aditya's head but just before the sword could touch his forehead, Aditya's body became blurry. He disappeared and then reappeared behind Lewis.
Bang!
"Why I am flying?" Lewis felt the world around him was rotating. But when he saw his headless body and the cold eyes of the crimson dragon, he understood what happened.
Bang!
Lewis's head fell to the ground. He kept on staring at the Aditya till he gradually lost his consciousness which was full of regret and unwillingness.
『 Ding! The host has killed a beginner 5th-order mermen king. 』
『 Ding! Experience points have been saved. Does the host wish to use the saved-up experience points to level up? 』
Aditya thought for a moment and decided not to level up. Without leveling up, he was able to take on a beginner 5th-order. Aditya felt that he still needed time to master his current powers before he moved on to the next level.
"I am so tired." After killing Lewis, Aditya simply lay in the middle of the crater. Not caring about the dead body of King Lewis. Right now he just wanted to rest. Aditya felt his eyes getting heavier, it seems that he was falling asleep.
Before Aditya used Lightning Armor, Storm Flight, and Crimson Lightning Dash. These three skills increased his agility and strength to a level where he was able to move faster than a beginner 5th-order.

"Aditya wake up"
"Wake up."
"Where am I?"
The Dragon Monarch slowly opened his eyes to find himself surrounded by soldiers. When he looked to his right he found the Goddess of wealth, Alicia looking at him with a concerned look. Right now the goddess looked nothing like the usually confident, calm businesswoman. She looked like a fragile girl. She looked like she was somehow holding back her tears.
Aditya then looked up only to find the tsundere princess looking at him with tears filling her eyes. It looked like those eyes of hers wanted to convey many feelings. But Julia held them back in front of the crowd.
"Your Majesty, you're finally awake." Watson was standing a few meters away from Aditya. Next to Watson, there was Leo who looked a little concerned even though he still had the cold look on his face. There was Amber who was also looking at him with a concerned look. Everyone that Aditya knew looked at him with a concerned face.
"It's a good thing that you did not die, otherwise I and others also would have died." Alicia spoke in an uncaring tone. She had recovered her usual calmness.
To others, her words meant that with the Istarin King dying the whole Kingdom will break down. But to Aditya, Watson, and Julia, her words meant that if Aditya died, then due to the contract she and the other goddesses will also die.
"Honestly, you should stop being this reckless. You're putting our lives in danger as well."
Aditya dryly laughed and then looked at the sky which now had returned to normal color. "Haha! I can stop being reckless if I have two of the seven goddesses accompanying me." Since no one other than Watson knew the identity of the goddesses, everyone thought that Aditya was joking.
Ouch!
"Why are you pinching?" Aditya looked at Julia who had suddenly pinched his waist.
"Hmph! For no reason." The alchemy goddess snorted and then looked away.
"Dragon king, you're being too greedy. There is a saying, Being too greedy is not good." Aditya just smiled and said nothing. He had made these jokes to make the atmosphere lively again.
Sigh!
'I wonder if her tsundere character will ever change. Not that I hate her tsundere character. I find her character very refreshing and entertaining.' Aditya found that his previous injuries have been recovered by 1/4th. It must be because Julia had given him some healing pills.
Julia then helped Aditya stand up. "What about the enemy?" Aditya's tone turned serious again.
"Everyone is dead. I couldn't even find the bodies of even a single soldier. Everyone has been burned to ashes."
"Good." Aditya then turned his attention to his seven generals.
"The 7 of you will divide the army into 7 groups. I want you all to capture the Nepoca Kingdom and the other 13 kingdoms including the paladin Dynasty. Form now, all these 14 kingdoms will become a part of the Istarin Kingdom." After some instruction, the army of 250,000 was divided into 7 groups.
Each group was going to be led by one of Aditya's generals. Aditya has made things easier. Now his generals will only need to claim those territories.
"Watson, how many dragonians do we have?"
"Your Majesty, we have around 700 dragonians." These 15 days, Aditya has been increasing the number of dragonians. All of the dragonians were either Peak 2nd-order or 3rd-order powerhouse.
"100 dragonians will be given to each group. I want each of you to be done with your tasks within one week. Not more than that. If the enemy refuses to surrender, then don't hesitate to use violence. There is no room for negotiations."
Since the 14 kingdoms have dared to attack his kingdom, Aditya wasn't going to let them go. He was going to conquer all of the 14 Kingdoms. Every royal member of those 14 kingdoms was ordered to be killed without any mercy.
"Morgan, I want you to go with Eleanor and help her." Morgan was one of the commanders of the Zulux Dynasty. Aditya had turned her into his slave and then later made her one of his dragonians.
Morgan is a powerful and skilled necromancer. It was because of her, that the Istarin Kingdom has managed to nurture several necromancers.
"Understood your Majesty." Morgan has no regrets about becoming the slave of the Istarin King. It was rather the opposite. Becoming the slave of the Istarin Kingdom was her life's turning point. After she joined the Istarin Kingdom, because she was the slave of the King no one dared to order her. She wasn't treated like a slave. Instead, she became an instructor and was given resources to cultivate. Later she was given a chance of becoming a dragonian which increased her cultivation to beginner 4th-order.
The reason Aditya was sending Morgan with Eleanor is that the captain of the sixth division was lacking in experience and had no knowledge of commanding. Eleanor has a shy and quiet type personality. Aditya felt that she might make some mistakes. This is why he is sending Morgan with her.
Really Thank you very much to all those who sends support with valuable golden tickets. I hope we can keep it up!!!
