"Hmph! Today, we must show the world what happens if an outsider messes with us." Lincoln's confidence came from the fact that his Aether dragon had 10 fourth-order cultivators. He thought he could defeat Aditya with one fourth order. But in a few moments, he would realize how naively he was thinking.
Inferno Overdrive!
Lincoln suddenly sensed Aditya's Aura rapidly increasing. His eyes which previously held no emotions now were full of bone-chilling coldness. As if he was a volcano that can erupt at any given moment.
Sensing that Aditya's Aura rapidly getting stronger and stronger, the Supreme elders and other 4th-order Aether became alert. However, Aditya did not attack them.
Under the eyes of more than 2,000 Aether Dragons, Aditya stood up. Using a small amount of his mana he summoned the Crimson Flame orb in his palm. He then tossed the orb on the mountain of dead bodies. The crimson flame orb expanded in size and became a wave of Crimson flame. Under the shocked gaze of the Aether Dragons, in a matter of seconds, all the dead bodies were consumed by the Crimson flame.
A few seconds later, the Crimson flame disappeared along with the mountain of dead bodies. Even the ground was scorched black.
Aditya then turned his attention to Lincoln and to the other Aether Dragons. "As much as I want to kill all of you, someone here deserves to take your life more than I do."
Seeing Aditya looking at the young man with blue hair and blue eyes which is also their hair and eye color, Lincoln then realized that this young man is definitely someone related to the Aether Dragon clan. But for some reason, he couldn't sense the Aether Dragon bloodline in him which meant that this young man had failed to awaken his Aether Dragon bloodline despite having Aether Dragon bloodline running through his veins. The only person that came into his mind was the son of a certain individual who managed to get away from his hand.
'No, how is this even possible? That trash wasn't even a cultivator when he escaped. In just less than 8 months it is impossible for him to reach Peak 3rd-order. Not to mention the fact that he doesn't look like the Leo I know.' Of course, Leo wouldn't look the same as he did 8 months ago. He had changed a lot both mentally and physically.
"Leo, how do you want to do this?" Aditya support Leo if he wanted to fight all the Aether Dragons. He would support Leo if he wanted to fight one v one with Lincoln. No matter what his choice was, as his teacher, Aditya would support him.
Meanwhile, hearing that Aditya was calling that young man Leo, Lincoln and other Supreme elders widened their eyes in deep shock. Before they were not so sure. Not that they were 100% sure who this young man was. This young man was the son of their previous leader. To think he would reach Peak 3rd-order in just 243 days, the whole thing was absolutely shocking. A feat that every Aether Dragon thought was impossible to accomplish was achieved by the very person whom they had considered to be trash is like a slap to all Aether Dragon's faces.
Leo looked at Lincoln. Without any hesitation, he asked for a fight. "I want to kill this bastard with my very own hands."
"Very well." A black sword appeared in Aditya's right hand. For some reason, the Aether dragons felt a sense of terror seeing the black sword. Aditya can use his authority as the Dragon Monarch to forcefully make these Aether dragons submit to him like dogs but that wouldn't be fun at all. Not every Dragon was worthy of becoming the Dragon Monarch's Dragon warrior.
"Bastard, I don't know how did you manage to reach Peak 3rd-order in such a short period of time but today I will make sure to complete what I have been wanting to do for the past 15 years and that is to end your life with my very own hands."
"And today I will take my sweet time in torturing the living hell out of you. I won't let you die so easily. I will make you beg me. I will make you crawl on the ground like a dog. I will cut every single piece of your body and feed it to the stray dogs."
Booom!
Leo couldn't hold back his Aura anymore. Two Crimson Pairs of wings appeared on his back. A layer of crimson scales covered his entire body. His pupil shape changed to red vertical slits.
"This...." Lincoln and Patrick and other Supreme Elders looked at each other in Deep Shock. Just what the hell happened to Leo? The wings on his back and the scales covering his entire body and his eyes, all of these indicated one thing. Even if Lincoln wanted to deny it, he knew that the current Leo was no longer a human. He was a dragon. But not an Aether Dragon, he had become something more majestic. More powerful, more divine, more holy, and purer.
"Leader, you take care of this brat. Meanwhile, we will deal with the other." Lincoln nodded. Even if Leo had managed to become a Dragon, his cultivation was higher than Leo's. While Lincoln was a Beginner 4th-order, Leo was only a Peak 3rd-order. In Lincoln's opinion, it was impossible for Leo to defeat him. So with full confidence, he flew forward.
Leo also didn't waste any time. He took out a golden lance which was a Peak 3-star lance and was enchanted by Aditya from his storage and then flew off to the sky.
The Aether Dragons thought that the middle-aged-looking dragon would also prepare to fight them. But he did something which was completely opposite of what they had thought. Instead of taking out his weapon, he took out a chair from his storage ring. After sitting down, he took out some nuts and began to eat them while staring at the Aether Dragons.
Seeing this Aditya smiled. It seems his butler wasn't interested in fighting. Even if Watson had decided to fight, Aditya probably would have finished everyone within a few seconds.
"I want to see how you lizards will keep flying once I cut off your wings." Nothing is more disrespectful to dragons when they are called Lizards. Aditya's words had successfully pissed all the Aether Dragons.
Swoosh!
Aditya had disappeared which had left all the 9 other 4th-order Aether Dragons panicked. Meanwhile, Leo and Lincoln started fighting.
Leo was fighting with golden Lance. Lincoln fought with a silver sword. Compared to the quality of Leo's weapon, the quality of Lincoln's weapon was bad. The silver sword was one of those cheap 2nd-star swords found in the market.
Lincoln put his palms together, then he took a deep breath and spat out a high volume of water at Leo. In counter, the young Dragonian summoned an orb of blue flame. The blue flame orb's size quickly expanded to meet the water blast head-on.
Booom!!!!
"Where did he go?"
"I don't know."
"Everyone. don't let your guard down."
All the Supreme elders were in consternation. They didn't know where Aditya had gone.
"I am here." Suddenly the Dragon Monarch appeared before Patrick. Before he or anyone of the Aether Dragons could react, he once again disappeared.
All the Aether Dragons were on their guard as they were expecting some form of attack. But after seeing that nothing is happening even after 10 seconds, everyone looked at each other in confusion. When the 11th second came, it started from one and then spread to all the Aether Dragons who were flying in the sky.
In the 11th second, one of the Aether Dragons suddenly fell down to the ground. In that very second, a hundred more Aether Dragons found that their wings has been cut off. Without their wings, the Aether Dragons fell to the ground. A few seconds later, every single Aether Dragon was hugging the earth as fresh red blood started coming out of their back. Not even the 4th-order Aether Dragons were spared.
In the sky, Lincoln who has been exchanging moves with Leo was horrified to see what Aditya had done to his race people.
"Nooooooo!!!!!" Lincoln was about to rush at Aditya but Leo used this chance and managed to sneak behind Lincoln. Before Lincoln could react, Leo's golden lance managed to pierce Lincoln's chest.
Cough!
Lincoln's pupils contracted to the size of a needle. He coughed out a large amount of blood. He could feel his body gradually losing its strength. He knew in a few seconds he would die and close his eyes forever.
"As I said before, I won't let you die this easily." Lincoln's entire body trembled on hearing Leo's cold emotionless tone. The next second Leo took out a 4-star healing potion pill made by Julia and forcefully feed it to Lincoln and then took out the golden lance from his chest. Before Lincoln would get away, he found a slave collar around his neck. Everything happened too fast for Lincoln.
The hole in his chest began to heal instantly. "Everything is not over yet." Saying that Leo grabbed Lincoln and flew off to the other side of Crystal Holm island.
Meanwhile, Aditya had finished dragging all the fallen Aether Dragons in one place.
"Why are you doing this to us? We never have offended you." One of the Elders asked while trying to stop the bleeding on his back. All the Aether Dragons felt as if their back has been roasted over a fire. They could feel their flesh burning which only intensified the pain they felt. Most of the young Aether dragons had even lost consciousness from this pain.
"Allow me to introduce myself, My name is Aditya. I am the Dragon Monarch. I am the Emperor of the Istarin empire." Patrick and the others widened their eyes in shock.
"To think that a dragon race would fall so low. I am extremely disappointed with the Aether dragon race. As the Dragon Monarch it is my responsibility to make sure that Dragons like you don't dirty the reputation of Dragons. You guys have long lost the pride and the courage that a Dragon should possess. Arrogance has blinded you all. For the sins that you all have committed, your punishment is death." Saying that Aditya didn't wait for anyone from the Aether Dragon to say anything. With the wave of his hand, a huge wave of Crimson flame surrounded them from all sides.
Seeing the 20 meters big wave of Crimson flame approaching them, all the Aether Dragons screamed in horror. Some pleaded with Aditya, some begged him, and some even swore to become his slave but Aditya did not stop.
Ahhhhh!!!!!
Aditya didn't feel a shred of regret for what he did today. Even though he killed his own dragon race members, he didn't feel any pain or regret. He rather felt happy and calm.
"The Autumnming islands will be in control of the Istarin Empire for now. Watson sent out a message to the Empress. I think both of us will need to have a meeting on this matter and discuss the future of the Autumnming islands."
Really Thank you very much to all those who sends support with valuable golden tickets. I hope we can keep it up!!!
