Dragon Monarch System Chapter 1266:- Mass Slaughter Using Raiketsu

『Raiketsu』

『Rank – Peak 5-Star Weapon (☆☆☆☆☆)』

『True Rank – 6-Star Weapon (★★★★★★)』

『Description – Raiketsu is a special Katana forged from a mysterious metal that fell from the sky in the form of a meteorite. It was personally created by Frank, the legendary ancestor of the Dwarf Tribe.』

『This Katana was specially made for warriors with Wind Affinity. It can absorb the wielder’s Wind Energy and turn it into deadly invisible slashes capable of cutting through armor, barriers, and even the air itself.』

『Raiketsu was originally a 6-Star weapon. However, its true power was considered too dangerous, so Frank sealed a part of its strength and reduced it to a Peak 5-Star weapon.』

『To break the seal and restore Raiketsu to its original 6-Star rank, the wielder must use this Katana to slaughter 50,000 enemy troops. The Katana will absorb the blood and killing intent of every enemy it slays until the seal is completely broken.』

『Ability 1 – Wind Scar』

『The wielder can cut through the air with Raiketsu and leave behind an invisible vacuum blade at the location of the slash. The vacuum blade will remain hidden in the air for ten minutes.』

『The wielder can activate the Wind Scar at any moment by tapping Raiketsu’s handguard with their little finger. Once activated, a sharp gust of compressed wind will burst out from the hidden scar and slice through everything in its path.』

『Multiple Wind Scars can be placed across the battlefield, allowing the wielder to create invisible traps for their enemies. However, only ten Wind Scars can exist at the same time.』

『Ability 2 – Wind Burial – Locked』

『The wielder can activate every Wind Scar on the battlefield at the same time. The released wind blades will rush toward a chosen target from different directions, trapping the enemy inside a storm of invisible slashes.』

『The more Wind Scars placed around the target, the stronger and deadlier Wind Burial will become. Once trapped inside the attack, escaping without powerful defensive abilities will be extremely difficult.』

『Unlocking Condition – Raiketsu must slaughter 10,000 enemy troops.』

『Ability 3 - Sky-Cleaving Tempest - Locked』

『The wielder pours a massive amount of Wind Energy into Raiketsu and performs a single slash. The slash leaves behind a gigantic Wind Scar that stretches across the sky.』

『When activated, the scar releases a huge blade of compressed wind capable of cutting through armies, destroying city walls, and splitting mountains. The attack is almost invisible, making it extremely difficult to see or avoid.』

『Unlocking Condition – Raiketsu must slaughter 30,000 enemy troops.』

『Ability 4 - Domain of the Wind Monarch - Sealed』

『This is Raiketsu’s strongest ability and can only be used after the Katana returns to its original 6-Star rank.』

『When activated, countless invisible Wind Scars spread throughout the surrounding area, turning the entire battlefield into the wielder’s domain. Every movement made by an enemy will activate the nearby Wind Scars and release deadly vacuum blades toward them.』

『Inside the Domain of the Wind Monarch, the wielder can freely control the direction, speed, and power of every wind blade. The wielder can also combine all the Wind Scars into one final slash powerful enough to cut apart everything within the domain.』

『However, this ability consumes an enormous amount of Wind Energy. Once the domain disappears, the wielder will be left greatly weakened and unable to use Raiketsu’s abilities for a short period.』

『Unlocking Condition – Slaughter 50,000 enemy troops with Raiketsu and restore the Katana to its original 6-Star rank.』

Aditya obtained this powerful Katana when he was facing the second trial within the Steel Dwarf Trial. This Katana had given him a lot of headaches back when he first faced it. Later, Frank told him more about the Katana and about its suppressed strength.

Aditya continued hunting the retreating soldiers of the Emperor Faction. After cutting down another group, he poured nearly 1,000 points of mana into Raiketsu. The weapon immediately responded as powerful Wind Energy gathered around its blade.

With one powerful swing, Aditya released countless invisible blades of compressed wind. The sharp attacks spread through the enemy ranks, cutting through armor, shields, and the soldiers behind them. Those who were already struggling to maintain their mana shields against the Acid Rain had little chance of defending themselves against this new attack.

Aditya did not wait to see the results. He immediately teleported toward another group of soldiers and continued his attack. Every time he appeared, three to five enemies fell before they could react. His movements were so fast that the soldiers could barely see him, and by the time they realized where he was, he had already moved somewhere else.

Some tried to fight back, while others desperately attempted to escape. Neither choice helped them. Aditya’s speed, strength, and control over Raiketsu were far beyond anything these ordinary soldiers could handle. His blade moved with deadly accuracy, cutting down his enemies without a single wasted movement.

Meanwhile, the invisible Wind Scars he had placed across the area continued adding to the destruction. Whenever large groups of soldiers passed through those locations, Aditya activated the hidden attacks, releasing sharp blades of compressed wind that cut through their ranks.

Within just sixty seconds, hundreds of thousands of additional soldiers had fallen to Raiketsu. Some were killed by Aditya’s direct attacks, while thousands more were caught by the invisible wind blades. The exact number was difficult to count because everything was happening so quickly.

What made the situation even more frightening was that Aditya showed no signs of slowing down.

From a safe distance, the soldiers of the Anti-Emperor Faction watched everything with stunned expressions. Following Aditya’s earlier order, they had already withdrawn from the front lines. Now, many of them stood with their weapons lowered, watching their supreme commander handle the retreating enemy army by himself.

None of them felt any sympathy for the Emperor Faction’s soldiers. These were the same enemies who had been trying to kill them only moments earlier. However, even without feeling compassion, they could not help being deeply impressed by what Aditya was doing.

Earlier, Aditya had used his Crimson Flames and Crimson Lightning to destroy large sections of the enemy army from a distance. Now, he was personally cutting down soldiers with Raiketsu, relying on his physical strength, speed, and teleportation.

For many of the Anti-Emperor Faction’s soldiers, this was their first time witnessing the Dragon Monarch fight at such close range.

Not to mention, without anyone’s help, just Aditya himself had killed more than 100,000 troops of Ren. This number was simply too absurb given the fact that he was only doing for only about 60 seconds now.

"I knew His Majesty was powerful, but isn’t this a little too much? Those soldiers can’t even defend themselves against him." One soldier said while watching Aditya cut down another group of enemies.

"Look at how easily he’s moving through their ranks. It’s almost as if he’s training rather than fighting a real battle. I finally understand why everyone calls him the Dragon Monarch." Another soldier replied with an expression filled with admiration.

Similar conversations could be heard throughout the Anti-Emperor Faction’s army. The soldiers had already respected Aditya for his achievements, but witnessing his strength personally had raised that respect to an entirely different level.

At the Anti-Emperor Faction’s main camp, Lilith was watching everything through a projection artifact. Although she was still recovering from the effects of the Succubus Desire Powder, her condition had improved enough for her to sit comfortably and observe the battle.

"My husband is amazing! Hahaha! Look at him! Those soldiers don’t even know where he’s going to appear next!" Lilith exclaimed with a massive smile on her face.

She looked extremely proud as she watched Aditya fight. Even though she had witnessed his strength many times before, seeing him dominate an entire army never failed to excite her.

Amelia, who was resting nearby, smiled after hearing Lilith’s words. She was equally impressed, although she expressed her admiration in a much calmer manner.

"Aditya is truly in a league of his own. Even among powerful Sixth Order cultivators, I doubt there are any who can accomplish something like this. His presence alone has completely changed the outcome of the battle." Amelia said while looking at the projection.

Lilith immediately nodded in agreement. "Exactly! Even back on the Six Continents, whenever Aditya participated in a war, he would often take on an entire enemy army by himself. I remember hearing his generals say that whenever he personally entered the battlefield, they barely needed to do anything. Now I understand exactly what they meant."

Amelia chuckled softly. She could understand why Aditya’s generals would say something like that. After all, his ability to destroy large groups of enemies without assistance was something that very few cultivators could match.

"His enemies must regret making him their opponent. They spent so much time gathering soldiers and preparing for this war, yet Aditya has already destroyed a large part of their army in such a short time." Amelia added.
