Dragon Monarch System Chapter 1052:- New Dragonians

Aditya next stretched out his right palm towards the sphere of Crimson Inferno, attempting to employ Crimson Warp Flash upon it.

For several moments, no reaction occurred. However, just as the Crimson Flame ball was on the verge of colliding with the tree's trunk, he perceived a subtle distortion forming in the space surrounding the fiery orb.

Witnessing these changes, Aditya felt a surge of excitement.

Yet, he understood within his heart that it was unlikely to succeed on his inaugural attempt.

The entire tree became engulfed in flames. Aditya was fully aware of the destructive potential of the Crimson Flames. Left unchecked, the crimson wood could swiftly spread to the dry branches, surrounding trees, and fallen leaves on the ground, potentially consuming the entire forest in a conflagration.

Previously, such considerations would not have crossed his mind. But it was Riya who had admonished him for his recklessness. On multiple occasions, he had ventured into the forest for training, inadvertently triggering significant fires. Riya subsequently had to expend considerable effort to mend the forest and help regrow the scorched trees.

As these thoughts occupied his mind, the sky above the burning tree darkened, and a heavy downpour commenced, drenching the tree. Within mere minutes, the inferno consuming the tree was extinguished.

'Before commencing my training, I should review the descriptions of my other abilities.'

『Stellar Inferno Sight』

『5th-order Innate Skill』

『Description: - This extraordinary skill originates from the convergence of three distinct powers: War Dancer, Rune Monarch, and Crimson Heavenly Dragon. It evolved from Lunar Vision and Fiery Vision, gaining an added layer of complexity when the host acquired the Void Walker class. This fusion integrated the 'Galactic Gaze' skill with 'Fiery Eyes,' birthing what is now recognized as Stellar Inferno Sight.

Upon reaching the 5th-order, this skill has undergone further evolution. It has transcended its status as a mere potent eye skill, transforming into a special innate ability that grants the host the capacity to perceive through darkness, deception, vulnerabilities, and even the subtle traces of hidden intentions with unparalleled clarity. The amalgamation of stellar power, infernal sight, and spatial awareness has deepened, rendering this skill significantly more formidable and beneficial both in combat and in everyday situations.』

『Abilities』:

『Dark Sight』: - With Stellar Inferno Sight, the host gains the capability to see in absolute darkness as if it were broad daylight. Even magical darkness and concealment techniques based on shadow up to the 5th-order are no longer capable of easily hindering the host’s vision. Dark Sight operates passively at all times and requires no Mana expenditure.

『Weak Spot Finder』: - This ability empowers the host to identify the vulnerabilities of an adversary whose power level does not exceed theirs by more than one major order. In contrast to its previous iteration, the host can now discern not only physical weak points but also flaws in energy circulation, unstable defensive positions, and weaknesses inherent in combat techniques. Weak Spot Finder can be activated passively at the host’s discretion without consuming any Mana.

『Truth Sense』: - When employing this ability, the host can instantaneously determine if an individual is uttering a falsehood. A distinct and sharper sensation within the host’s heart will signal deceit, underlying malice, or intentional obfuscation. While Truth Sense is active, it will incur a cost of [80+] Mana per second to maintain the skill's activation.

『Mental Fortress』: - Stellar Inferno Sight furnishes the host with an impenetrable shield against mind-control spells, illusionary assaults, and soul-disorienting techniques enacted by opponents whose power levels do not surpass the host's by more than one order. Against adversaries exceeding this threshold, the resistance remains effective, though its efficacy will diminish progressively based on the disparity in power.

『Long-Range Sight』: - This capability extends the host’s visual range to extraordinary distances. The host can now perceive with clarity up to 50 kilometers (31 miles) away, in addition to their normal field of vision. The number of times Long-Range Sight can be utilized within a 24-hour period is capped at 15 instances. Each activation of this ability will consume [120+] Mana.

『Spatial Perception』: - Due to the enhanced influence of the Void Walker class, the host can now detect minute spatial distortions within their line of sight. This drastically increases the difficulty for adversaries to conceal themselves through spatial means, teleportation residues, or interdimensional ruses. This ability functions passively whenever Stellar Inferno Sight is active and does not necessitate a separate activation.

'A truly excellent innate skill.' The sole regrettable aspect was Aditya's inability to discern the weak points of cultivators whose cultivation was two Orders above his. Even he recognized that expecting more would be ungrateful. The capacity to identify vulnerabilities in those just one Order his superior already represented a substantial advantage. It was an exceptionally potent and uncommon ability.

Dragon Roar

『Dragon Roar』

『5th-order Innate Skill』

『Description: - A unique innate skill bestowed upon the Dragon Monarch himself. This is no mere utterance; it is a roar imbued with the very authority of the Dragon Monarch's bloodline and the formidable pressure of a genuine Divine Dragon. Upon unleashing this roar, all dragons and beings connected to dragons will feel its impact deep within their souls. It is a clarion call of dominance, awakening, suppression, and command.』

『Function 1』: - Upon the host's Dragon Roar, all dragons, Dragonians, draconic beasts, and beings possessing dragon blood within earshot or spiritual perception will inherently acknowledge the host's dominion. Allies will experience a profound surge in morale, ferocity, and combat drive, while weaker adversaries might falter or succumb to fear.

『Function 2』: - Dragon-kin allies and subordinates who detect this roar shall momentarily gain a [25%] enhancement to their combat prowess, response speed, and fighting spirit for a duration of 60 minutes. This augmentation is more pronounced in beings with a higher purity of dragon lineage.

『Function 3』: - Dragons, draconic beasts, and dragon-blooded individuals of lesser standing than the host can be forcefully subdued by this roar. Some may become immobilized, yield, or lose their will to fight temporarily, contingent upon the disparity in bloodline purity and cultivation level.

『Function 4』: - When unleashed at its zenith, this roar can awaken the primal ferocity latent within all dragon-related entities across an expansive territory, making them feel as though their sovereign has summoned them. The host's ascendant strength correlates directly with an expanded range and intensified pressure emanating from the roar.

'Across the six continents, I seldom invoked this ability.' The necessity simply never arose.

Yet, Aditya harbored a premonition that during this internal conflict, he might be compelled to utilize this very skill.

'This also serves as a reminder; I must recruit cultivators of my own and transform them into Dragonians.' Regrettably, no individuals within the Istarin Empire possessed sufficient strength to aid him in this endeavor. To enlist Amber or Nathan, who had attained the 5th-order, would still expose them to immense peril.

Beings at the 5th-order are comparable to ordinary cultivators in this realm. This is precisely why Aditya abstained from bringing any of his generals on this expedition.

They lacked his unique capability to contend with cultivators at the Peak 6th-order.

'I require cultivators who are already at the Peak 5th-order. This way, the enhancement in Qi and might they receive from evolving into Dragonians will be sufficient for them to reach the beginner stage of the 6th-order.' Aditya closed his eyes, commencing a contemplation of potential locations to discover such cultivators.

Prior to the onset of the civil war, Aditya had envisioned transforming formidable cultivators from the Harrington family into Dragonians, intending to replicate this process with his other allies and their respective retinues. However, he recognized that while his grandfather might assent, other allied nobles would likely prove less amenable. The conversion of their troops into Dragonians would signify a shift, wherein their absolute allegiance, previously pledged to their respective Dukes, would be irrevocably transferred to Aditya. This was distinct from outright mind control or emotional manipulation, yet the outcome was the same: their complete and sworn loyalty would be to him.

This profound, sworn fealty would stem from the inherent blood kinship forged between the Dragonians and Aditya.

Before the civil strife erupted, Aditya had formulated a strategy. His intention was to convert several powerful cultivators from the Harrington family into Dragonians, and subsequently, to gradually extend this transformation to the remainder of his allies and their combatants. On paper, this represented a potent approach to significantly bolster their collective might.

Nevertheless, he acknowledged the inherent challenges associated with this proposition. His grandfather might acquiesce, but the other nobility would scarcely accept it without reservation. Inducting their soldiers into the ranks of Dragonians would fundamentally alter the locus of their ultimate loyalty. Instead of dedicating their hundred percent allegiance to their respective Dukes, these soldiers would become wholly devoted to Aditya. Although this was not akin to coercion or forced sentiment, the resultant effect would invariably generate friction amongst the nobles.

Such fealty would arise organically from the blood connection shared between Aditya and the Dragonians. It transcended mere commands or directives. Nonetheless, Aditya understood this would present a significant impediment. Despite already formulating several potential solutions to navigate this predicament, the core issue persisted: the need for cultivators of genuine loyalty, unencumbered by prior allegiances to any noble house.
