Dragon Monarch System Chapter 990 990:- Temple of Dragons

『Materials required for building the Temple of Dragons 』

1. 1 ton of refined Iron [1/1]

2. 50 Kg of refined Gold [50/50]

3. 50 drops of Divine Dragon Blood [50/50]

4. 500 logs of Mystic Wood Logs [500/500]』

"Where are we going?" Spencer inquired as they stepped onto the teleportation array.

"We're heading to the Southern Region." Nearly all of the Southern Empire now fell under the Istarin Empire's control.

In the past, this area had been among the most chaotic spots across the continent. Since the Empire's takeover, the Imperial Army had relentlessly pursued wanted criminals and rebels. Any sparks of unrest were swiftly crushed without mercy.

Just moments after, they materialized in the Southern Region. This was the domain of the old Skyline Kingdom.

A few days earlier, during his visit to the Dragon Palace, he had consulted Jennifer's father on this matter.

The Temple of Dragons would rise in the heart of this province's capital.

Down the line, every capital city and key urban center would boast its own Temple of Dragons. For now, this marked the initial step. Securing Mystic Wood Logs had proven challenging. Yet his fiancée had successfully nurtured multiple Mystic Trees to full growth.

Given the ongoing output, erecting a single Temple of Dragons once every two or three weeks posed no issue. Should he desire, he could request her to accelerate the Mystic Wood Logs' development and raise one weekly. However, that might overburden his beloved wife.

Duke Kane Welsh showed up in person, flanked by his guards, to welcome the emperor and the Prime Minister.

Aditya simply gestured with his hand, urging them to skip the ceremonies. His priority was to erect the Temple of Dragons without delay.

"Your Majesty, I believe the ideal spot for the Temple of Dragons lies right beside my palace." Duke Kane Welsh thought it fitting for such a vital structure to stand near his residence, situated smack in the city's core.

This capital ranked among the southern region's prime cities and a cornerstone of the Istarin Empire. Duke Kane beamed with pride that his lands had been picked for the inaugural Temple of Dragons.

"Very well!" Aditya found no fault with the suggestion. Truth be told, he embraced it wholeheartedly.

With the emperor's approval voiced, Watson and Spencer had nothing more to contribute, so they both gave affirming nods.

The spot chosen by the Duke, which he guided the emperor toward, lay just behind his palace. It formed a vast open field spanning roughly 5000 square meters. Low wooden fences enclosed it on all sides.

Noticing Aditya's gaze on the fences, the Duke hastened to clarify with a grin.

"At first, I intended this area for a modest training yard, complete with barracks for the soldiers."

"The idea was to house and drill a few hundred troops right here around the clock."

"Yet now, it strikes me as perfect for raising the Temple of Dragons."

Aditya gave a nod of approval.

"Should you aim to bolster the infantry ranks, pick a larger site elsewhere. Devoting space to just hundreds of troops would squander potential." The Duke agreed with a firm nod.

"All of you, step away now. Prepare to witness something that'll leave you speechless."

Aditya strode to the middle of the field.

'System, initiate the Temple of Dragons construction.'

Instantly upon the order, a heavy, swirling mist erupted from thin air, blanketing the whole expanse.

In mere seconds, the mist engulfed the entire 5000 square meter zone.

Visibility dropped to zero for everyone.

Aditya himself vanished from view. For an instant, Watson, Spencer, and Duke Kane Welsh betrayed flickers of concern. The mist hung so thick that even seasoned cultivators struggled to peer beyond a handful of meters.

"What's going on?" a soldier murmured under his breath.

Yet before anyone could advance, eerie noises echoed from the mist's depths.

Thud.

Clack.

Thump.

It resembled massive timber chunks slamming together. Soon followed the clamor of hefty beams slotting into place.

Knock.

Knock.

Thud.

The racket suggested legions of unseen laborers assembling at a frantic pace. The onlookers froze in hushed awe.

Not a soul ventured into the haze. The building clamor persisted for almost two minutes straight.

Suddenly...

The dense mist started to dissipate gradually. Bit by bit, the field came back into sight.

And the sight that emerged left them utterly dumbfounded.

A colossal edifice now dominated the field's center.

The Temple of Dragons stood finished.

Resembling a grand pagoda, the temple dwarfed any structure they'd encountered. It towered some 50 meters skyward, eclipsing the city's nearby rooftops.

Five broad tiers formed the temple, each successively narrower than the last. The rooftops swept upward at their corners, echoing classic pagoda designs.

Dark mystic wood formed the bulk, reinforced with refined iron for unyielding might and regal splendor. Crowning the pinnacle sat a enormous Dragon Head sculpture.

The dragon's jaws parted subtly, revealing jagged fangs etched in stone, its gaze crafted from twin crimson crystals that shimmered softly in the sun. Staring too long evoked the sense of the beast overseeing the city from on high.

Curving horns of refined gold sprouted from the dragon's head sides, while its neck bore intricate mystic wood scales. Wisps of spiritual energy trickled from the figure like ethereal vapor.

The temple evoked a towering pagoda with layered roofs, diminishing in size upward, edges tilting skyward and lined with sequential dragon reliefs.

Beneath each eave, wooden braces supported, every one etched with tiny dragon motifs.

Flanking the main doorway were twin stone dragon guardians, watching over the ascending steps into the sanctuary.

"Behold, the Temple of Dragons!"

"It's stunning!" The architecture alone captivated with its awe-inspiring grace.

Kane pondered how crowds might flock to his city for a nearer view of this wondrous marvel.

The instant the Temple of Dragons materialized, Watson, Spencer, and Kane sensed shifts in their prowess. A subtle surge enhanced their strength, speed, Mana, Stamina, and Health.

'Such is the might of the Temple of Dragons.'

『Temple Of Dragons』

『Description - The Temple of Dragons serves as a hallowed site for every Dragon. Far from mere worship, it's revered ground for Dragons and those bearing traces of dragon blood.』

『Function 1 - Within 10 km, the Temple of Dragons boosts Dragons' cultivation rate by 50%. Half-Dragons gain 25% faster progress. Entities with mere hints of Dragon bloodline see up to 10% improvement. These enhancements demand service to the Dragon Monarch and apply solely in range.』

『Function 2 - Healing rates for Dragons rise by 20% inside the 10 km radius. 』

『Function 3 - Dragons' offensive capabilities surge 20% in the 10 km zone. Loyal non-Dragon subjects of the Dragon Monarch get 10% attack boosts. Effects limited to the range.』

Aditya wheeled about to gaze at the soaring 50-meter pagoda.

'Magnificent.'

'Pity there's no path to enhance the Temple of Dragons further.'

'Upgrading the Dragon Palace might unlock ways to empower it more. This suffices for now, though.' The Temple's buffs would greatly fortify the Istarin forces against foes.

Temples in every key city would thwart any group from snatching his soldiers at will.

The Temple of Dragons erased a major defense concern for the Empire in one stroke.

'Once I reach 5-star runemaster, I'll infuse extra features into the Temple of Dragons.' Aditya envisioned each 50-meter pagoda as a symbol of hope, might, and dominance for the Empire's warriors.

"Kane, ensure constant guards watch over the Temple of Dragons."

"Rest assured, Your Majesty. I'll station Dragonians here full-time to bar unauthorized access in or out."

"Good, you take charge of it then."
