Chapter 650 650:- Only if......
"So, I will just need to stop this monster before it crosses the portal and comes here. That is going to take care of all the problems."
"Yeah.....!! Because once this 9-headed Hydra crosses the portal and comes here. It's over. At that time, even you won't be able to prevent the death of millions of citizens." Amelia said in a serious tone. "Alright. I will try to do that. Please retreat back." Aditya began charging towards the 9-headed Hydra. However, midway, he suddenly saw the 9-headed Hydra attacking Amelia with one of its heads. The head of the Hydra shot towards Amelia at lightning speed. Seeing this Aditya widened his eyes. Aditya knew that Amelia wasn't fast enough to dodge this attack. If this attack were to hit her, then she would most likely be seriously injured, or worse, she might even die. She was most likely going to die from that powerful attack. 'Shit...!!!' 'I can't let that happen.....!!'
Meanwhile, Amelia could widen her eyes and watch as the attack approached her. At that moment, although she was able to see the attack heading in her direction, but her body wasn't fast enough to move in time and dodge the attack. 'Am I going to die...?' In that nanosecond, Amelia thought about a countless number of things. 'If I die, then I won't need to worry about Riya since Aditya is there. I am sure he will take care of my daughter.' Even in death, Amelia was more worried about her daughter than herself. 'There won't be any threat to the rule of the Celestial Terrain with the presence of the Dragon Monarch.' The second thing that she was worried about was her Empire. 'It's a shame that I would need to die so early.'
'Only if I have lived long enough to see how things would unfold.'
'Only if I had lived long enough to see my daughter getting married to Aditya.'
'Only if I had seen my grandchildren. Then I could have died without any regret.' 'But it's too late for that now.....!!!' Accepting her death, Amelia was about to close her eyes as the attack was just 10 to 15 inches away from her. "Amelia...!!!" However, at that moment, Aditya mysteriously teleported in front of her. 'Aditya...why....?'
An average person never would have even made it to the walls of the Azure city, much less crash on it like Aditya. Ignoring the blood that was rolling down his cheeks, Aditya raised his head and glanced up. Aditya helplessly watched as the Hydra slowly came out of the portal. 'So I have failed.....!!!' Aditya thought in his mind. He did not blame Amelia for this. In fact, after tasting the power behind the Hydra's attack, he was no even more sure that he would have failed to prevent this behemoth from crossing the portal. Also if Aditya had stepped in, this attack would have killed Amelia. So he did not feel regret over what he did. "I should stop holding back.....!!!" Aditya came out of the crack in which his body was stuck into.
As his foot touched the ground, he felt something on his face. "Why do I suddenly feel something strange on my face? It's like my face is burning.....!!!" Aditya touched his left cheek. He instantly got his answer. The left side of his face was disfigured. His left cheek's flesh was torn revealing the bones beneath.
"Ha.....!!" Aditya weakly laughed at himself and then said. "I can't imagine how ugly I look right now."
Being within the 25km range of the Dragon Palace, Aditya received many boosts from the Dragon Palace. 『Function 2 - If the host is within a 25 km range of the Dragon Palace, then the host's stats would be increased by 25%. At the same time, the host's mana recovery speed, healing speed, and cultivation speed will be increased by 60%. If any of the Dragonians or the Dragon Warriors are within a 25 km range of the Dragon Palace then the stats of the Dragonians or the Dragon Warriors would be increased by 8%. While the dragonians or the Dragon Warrior's mana recovery speed, healing speed, and cultivation speed will be increased by 20%.』
『Function 3 - As the Dragon Palace has been built, the host now has gained the power to teleport back to the Dragon Palace from any location on this planet. The host will also be able to teleport anywhere within a 25 km range of the Dragon Palace.』
Because of the 3rd function, Aditya was able to teleport faster than he normally could to save Amelia from that attack. "It has been a while since I wore it." Aditya took out the Crown of Seven Sea and wore it. The crown was stained in his blood as he wore it. But this wasn't the time to care about such small details. Since reaching beginner 4th-order, Aditya has never needed to use this treasure. But now it seems, it was time to use this treasure. As soon as he wore the Crown of Seven Sea, Aditya instantly felt his fighting power was increasing. 『Function 3]: - When the King wears this crown, the fighting power of that King will be increased by [20%]. The cultivation of the owner must be below 5th order otherwise this function won't work.』
Even 20% can be a lot. In a life-and-death battle, even 20% can make a huge difference. Now Aditya's attacks were 20% stronger compared to before. "Now only one last thing is left.......!!" Aditya started flying towards the Hydra. At the same time, his whole body was covered in a bright Crimson light. Everyone including the Hydra saw as Aditya slowly transformed into a Dragon. ----------------
