Dragon Monarch System-Novel



As the archers started fleeing, seeing them, other soldiers also followed. The fleeing of the group C archers had caused a chain reaction to occur. More and more archers, knights, and soldiers started fleeing from the back.

But how can Nathan let that happen? If all of these archers and soldiers reached Oakbank city which is the defensive fort located at the border of the Mystic Spring Empire, it would be troublesome when they attack Oakbank city.

While the infantry, archers, foot soldiers, and knights were fleeing the battlefield, everyone failed to notice the shadow that was moving toward them.

Among the fleeing troops, the knights moved the fastest as they were riding magic mounts.

"Why I am always so unlucky? Never did I imagine I would be sent to the battlefield even though I am one of the weakest Knights. Once I return, I am going to fuc.....Clang!

The knight stopped as he felt his horse had stepped on something.

Booooom!!!!

The next second, a big explosion took place. The explosion was strong enough to instantly kill 20 Knights and injured 20 more. Despite the explosion, no one stopped running. They instead became even more desperate to flee.

The next second, following the first explosion, 4 more explosions took place.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Each explosion killed around 20 to 30 soldiers and left 20 more with serious injuries. Amidst all the explosions, the knights noticed a certain figure wearing a mask standing in their path. But when the knights blinked their eyes, they found the masked figure had disappeared. For a second they felt as if they were hallucinating.

"I must be hallucinating. Maybe I should stop drinking for some day....." The words in his throat stopped as he saw the very same masked figure in front of him. The next second, the head of a knight flew in the air and fell down. While his headless body rode the horse for a few seconds before falling down to the ground.

A few other knights saw what happened. They nearly pissed their pants at fear. In the next few seconds, their fears became reality as Nathan proceeded to Assassinate them like a ghost.

Nathan moved like he was teleporting. Each second he would appear somewhere else. The soldiers that saw him died. Nathan continued to kill as many soldiers as he can for over a minute till he realized that too many soldiers were running away and it was simply impossible for him to stop them alone.

'I guess I will have to use Dragon Transformation then.'

Booom!!!

Nathan no longer hid. This time everyone was able to see him. Using his Dragon wings, Nathan became even faster. Nathan flew up in the air. When he was 20 meters from the ground he stopped.

『Rain of Poison Needle!』

The soldiers completely ignored Nathan. No one bothered to stop and try to attack him. Their whole focus was on fleeing and saving their lives. But this was their biggest mistake.

Thousands of shadow needles started falling from the sky.

"What the hell is that?" The sharp needle pierced his skin and reached his bloodstream. The Archer took out the needle from his and threw it away while thinking how this kind of attack is supposed to hurt them.

But the next second he got his answer.

His skin started to turn black. His skin began to wrinkle as if he was aging rapidly with each passing second. His organs began to wither. The poison spread throughout his body and changed the very nature of his blood. His bones grew weak and became weak as rotten wood. And his hair started falling.

A few seconds later, he simply fell to the ground and lost his life. His corpse looked like a thousand years old mummy.

The same thing happened to every infantry, knight, foot soldier, and archer. Within a few seconds, more than a few thousand soldiers had died like that.

『Rain of Poison Needles!』

Once again, Nathan used the same technique. This time he put more mana into his attack, increasing the size and power of his attack.

Ahh.....!

This time the attack took out almost 10,000 troops. But this wasn't anywhere nearly enough. As the number of troops running away is not small.

Once again Nathan used the same skill. After using the same skill three times in a row, Nathan's face became pale. His Mana was almost drained.

'All of my skills are meant for single targets or multiple targets. My attacking moves are not meant for large crowds. My attacks are not destructive.' Nathan's skills were mostly silence, fast, deadly, and quick. All of his skills were meant to end the enemy's life within a few seconds.

'«Rain of Poison Needles» is an exception. If not for His Majesty helping me get this skill book, I never would have learned this powerful skill. Without the «Shriveling Torment Poison», it is impossible to learn this technique. Unfortunately, my mana reserve is not monstrous as His Majesty's. Among all the generals, I have the second lowest Mana reserve.' Nathan never needed a large mana reserve as his fighting style revolved around ending the enemy's life as quickly as possible.

『Rain of Poison Needles!』

『4th-order Skill』

『Description - The Rain of Poison Needles is a special Assassin class attack. Only cultivators with dark Mana and Assassin classes can learn this skill. In order to fully master this skill, one must find a deadly poison and combine it with this skill.

It is known from where this skill came from. The Rain of Poison Needles skill was made during «The Aeon of Waste» era. The Rain of Poison Needles fell into the possession of the Royal Family. Since there were no dark mages within the Royal Family, the skill was sold at an auction.

There are only a few individuals in this world who knows this skill.』

『Function - The skill increases the power of any Poison by 3 times. The user can summon hundred or thousand or even millions of rain shadow needles. The number of needles that one can summon depends on the amount of Mana one possesses and depends on the individual's level of affinity with dark nature. Each needle is filled with poison.』

『Shriveling Torment Poison』

『Description - The Shriveling Torment is a special type of poison that produces inside a magic black apple. Once the magic black Apple reaches 10,000 years of age, the poison inside the apple becomes potent enough to instantly end the life of cultivators below the 4th order. With enough poison concentration, the Shriveling Torment is even capable of ending the life of a 4th-order cultivator.』

Meanwhile, seeing almost all the troops were beginning to run away, Adam issued an order. He amplified his tone using Mana so that his voice can reach throughout the battlefield and all the soldiers would be able to receive his command.

『Everyone, listen to the command. The enemy commander is dead. The enemy troop is running away like cowards. Don't let them run away. Hunt them down like animals. I don't want even a single enemy soldier escaping. Whatever you must, kill them if they refuse to surrender.』

Adam's words also reached the ears of the soldiers who were fleeing. Some soldiers felt their faces were burning from shame. They felt ashamed. The enemy commander just compared them to an animal. But most soldiers didn't care. After hearing Adam's words, they quickened their pace knowing that the enemy troops are going to hunt for them.

Following Nathan, all other Dragonians also used Dragon Transformation. After using Dragon Transformation their powers rose to another level. From the sky, the Dragonians kept attacking the escaping troops.

A new problem emerged at their hands. Although the Dragonians managed to kill many fleeing troops, it still wasn't enough. There are about almost half a million Troops that were currently fleeing. This meant that a lot of enemy troops will still be able to escape and make it back to the Mystic Spring Empire.

The option of letting the troops escape wasn't available to them. After all, this was just the first phase of the war. Once the escaping troops return to the Mystic Spring Empire, their number would increase the troop number while minimizing the Mystic Spring Empire's casualties. Right now, this was an excellent opportunity to reduce the military power of the enemy Empire. The more troops they kill or capture as war prisoners, the fewer troops would make it back to the enemy Empire.

The entire battlefield was in chaos. Troops were running away like ants. Soldiers were running in every direction. The Mystic Spring Empire troops had zero motivation to keep fighting this battle. Even the soldiers who wanted to keep fighting gave up after seeing most troops from their sides running away.

By now many of the soldiers had managed to escape into the forest and the mountains that surrounded the battlefield. Adam, Nathan, Eddie, the Dragonians, and everyone else was trying their best to take down as many enemy troops as possible. Even if they can capture 1000 enemy troops as war prisoners, they can use those 1000 troops in the next battle against the Mystic Spring Empire.

Bang!

While killing Enemy troops, Nathan looked around and scanned his surroundings. 'At most, we would be able to kill around 100,000 enemy troops. Meaning that more than 400,000 troops will be able to head back to the Mystic Spring Empire. If that many troops managed to escape back to the enemy Empire, this defeats the very purpose of this battle even though we have won now.'

400,000 troops were not a small number. With 400,000 the Mystic Spring Empire would be easily able to recover their losses and use those 400,000 troops against them in the upcoming battles.

Daxton, the Echo Dominion Emperor, did not join the battlefield. But seeing how many enemy troops were fleeing, he couldn't help but awaken the desire to join the battle. His Prime Minister advised him to stay out of the battlefield. He too knew the consequences of that many enemy troops fleeing back to their Empire.

When Daxton and Nathan were feeling helpless and frustrated, a figure with Crimson wings arrived at the battlefield. She stood in the sky and watched how the troops run for their lives.

'I never knew the Mystic Spring Empire troops would be this spineless. Disgusting.' Even the little bit of hesitation that Victoria had about killing the troops from Mystic Spring Empire disappeared after she saw this.

"What she is doing here?" Adam, Daxton, Eddie, And Nathan, all stopped fighting after feeling Victoria's strong presence. Adam, Emperor Daxton, and Eddie were confused and in doubt. If Victoria was here, then what happened to Aditya or Ashton, they wondered in their minds.

Meanwhile, as a Dragonian, Nathan was able to feel that Victoria has become a Dragonian as well. 'What happened?' Nathan could somehow guess that Victoria has switched sides and had become their ally but he couldn't guess how this happened.

As the troops were running away, suddenly a bright golden light crashed into the ground at a sound-breaking speed.

Booooom!!!!!!

A cloud of dust and pebbles rose in the air and blocked everyone's vision. The troops were not planning on stopping till they were forced to stop because of Victoria's powerful Aura. She used her Peak 5th-order cultivation to pressure all the fleeing troops and make them stop.

"I never knew you guys were so spineless." A cold familiar voice sent shivers down every fleeing soldier's spine. How can they not recognize this voice?

Really Thank you very much to all those who sends support with valuable golden tickets. I hope we can keep it up!!!
