Dragon Monarch System
36 Chapter 36

Just after Aditya killed the man named Ash in his dragon form, he was shocked hearing the Wyvern speaking to him. The Wyvern was speaking in a language that was foreign to others. But strangely Aditya was able to understand what they were saying. What he didn’t know was after evolving his Bloodline to Heavenly Crimson Bloodline, Aditya had gained a few passive abilities. One of those abilities gave him the power to understand any lesser Dragon’s language. Another ability he got was authority over any lesser Dragon. Even if the Wyverns didn’t want it, Aditya would still control them with a command.

“How did you all fall for that weak men’s mind-controlling spells?” Aditya didn’t understand how a low order was able to control 3 peak 3rd-orders and one beginner 3rd-order.

“My king, that nasty human had a powerful artifact that gave him the power to control our minds. Though I tried to fight best and resist the mind control, in the end in front of the powerful artifact my efforts were futile.” The beginner 3rd-order Wyvern spoke while the other three Wyverns still kept their heads lowered as if afraid to even look at the Crimson Dragon in front of them.

“I see.” Saying that Aditya’s glowed in bright red light for a few seconds. When the light disappeared, Aditya returned to his human form with two red pairs of wings on his back.

“Your Majesty” The old man Zachary run towards Aditya when he landed at the entrance of the village. As soon as Aditya landed, he felt something has changed. The Majin villagers were no longer looking at him like an outsider. The hate in their eyes for Aditya was erased.

“Your Majesty, I don’t know how I will ever thank you for saving our village and our kind.” Along with the old man Zachary, everyone even the small Majin children bowed their heads to Aditya and expressed their gratitude._.

“My king, I have found the artifact that was used by that nasty human.” All the Majin children quickly hid behind the adults seeing a giant 10 meters big Wyvern flying towards them. Seeing the panicked and distressed look of the villagers, Aditya quickly cleared the misunderstandings.

“Everyone can relax. Before these 4 Wyverns were controlled by a human named Ash. I already have freed them from the mind-controlling spell. They won’t attack this valley anymore.” Hearing the words of the Aditya everyone sighed in relief and lowered their guards against the Wyverns.

Aditya took the small dark star-shaped object that had several big cracks all over its body. “This thing looks like it might break at any moment.”

[Mind Controlling Star]

[Rank Decreased to low 1-star]

[Description]: – The Mind controlling star was forged by a skilled dwarf. This artifact used to be a peak 3-star artifact. After years of use, the artifact has lost the value and functions that it once had. This artifact rank now has fallen to the lowest tier. If this Artifact is kept being used, then soon the artifact will break apart. At its peak, the artifact had the power to mind control even a Peak 5th-order. Using this artifact to control four lesser dragons has left some damage to the artifact’s powers.

[Function 1]: – Just like the name of the artifact, this artifact gives the ability to control the mind of any mid-1st-orders or lower orders.]

“I don’t know who is talented enough to make an artifact that could control even a Peak 5th-order. Something tells me that when this artifact was just forged it had the power, it was a peak 5-star artifact.” Looking at the dark star-shaped artifact that once was a 5-star artifact, Aditya wondered how this artifact ended up in that man named Ash’s hand.

.

“Do you know the man who just ordered these Wyverns to attack the village?” Aditya asked Zachary.

“NO. Other than the bandits from whom we have to protect the tea fields, we don’t have any enemies. If some outsiders approach our village, then we would just ask them to leave.”

“Old man, can you please ask someone to bring the dead body of the man named Ash.” Aditya felt Ash couldn’t be an ordinary thug. Having an artifact powerful enough to control a beginner 3rd-order tells how powerful the mind-controlling artifact was. There is no way an ordinary bandit would get this powerful artifact in his hand, especially considering how low his powers were.

While Zachary was talking with others, Aditya turned his focus to the 4 Wyverns who are waiting for him, outside the village. “You guys are still here? You guys don’t want to go back to the wilderness.”

“My King, we wished to serve you.”

“What?” Aditya for a moment couldn’t believe what he just heard.

“We wish to serve you, My king. Please allow us to accompany you on this journey. We promise we won’t get in your way and we will always stay loyal to you.”

What Aditya didn’t know was for a lesser dragon, a dragon with a heavenly bloodline was like a deity or a God that every lesser Dragon worshipped. Now that finally, a dragon with a heavenly bloodline had appeared after thousands of years, the Wyverns desperately wanted to follow Aditya. Their instinct as a lesser dragon was screaming at them and telling them to follow Aditya. The 4 Wyverns wanted to follow the person whom they considered their King, their master, and their owner.

‘Well having 3 peak second-order Wyverns and one beginner 3rd-order following me would give me an edge in this war. I would also have a 3rd-order being to rely on.’ Aditya found no reason to reject the Wyverns will to follow him.

“Very well.” And like that Aditya obtained 4 powerful magical beasts as his followers.

‘Coming here wasn’t a waste of time after all. I have gained some things in this journey that will help me greatly in the future.’

As Aditya was talking with the Wyverns, the village head came up to him.

“Your Majesty, we have bought back the corpse of that man.”

“Thank you.” Both Aditya and Zachary were walking back to the village.

“Old man, tell me do you have anything precious hidden in our village? Something so valuable that it caused this man to attack your village.” Hearing Aditya’s words, the old man stopped walking as he realized something.

“Seeing your look, I am certain that you’re hiding something very precious in this village. I won’t ask what that precious item was, but know that a weak 1st-order having an artifact that is strong enough to control a beginner 3rd-order Wyvern isn’t something that should be taken lightly. You should know what I am hinting right?”

The old man still can’t digest the fact that their village’s greatest secret was found out by an outsider. The value of that item is so huge that the attackers wouldn’t mind killing the whole Majin village just to get their hands on the item. Aditya was warning Zachary. At this point, both of them were 90% sure that there will be another attack on the village. And this will continue until the people behind Ash gets their hand on the precious item hidden in the village.

The old man Zachary also realized that the power of the people who are behind their attack couldn’t be underestimated. Today they have attacked using a beginner 3rd-order, tomorrow they might attack using a Peak 3rd-order. At that time, Aditya won’t be there to save their village.

“Your Majesty, do you have any solution to our problem?”

“You can try changing the location of your village, that is shifting to another place where those people won’t able to replace you. This is the only safest and most effective option I can currently think of. I know my words may sound cruel. You have called this place home for centuries. But to save your people safe, I think this is the only solution you have.” Currently, Aditya was facing a war. He cannot stay here all the time to look after this village. As for leaving the Wyverns to guard after the village, this thought never crossed his mind. Aditya has to think of his interest first. The 4 Wyverns would become a great power addition to the Istarin military. There was no way Aditya would leave the 4 Wyverns to guard a village that doesn’t even come under his territory.

After some thinking, Zachary decided to trust the myth that has been passed down for generations. “Your Majesty, can you please come with me? I have something that I wish to show you.” Aditya nodded and followed the old man Zachary.

In an underground chamber that was located right beneath Zachary’s house, the Crimson Dragon and the village head were standing in front of a golden metal door. “What is this place?”

“This underground chamber is by our my great great grandfather, that was about more than 300 years ago. Before my great great grandfather built this chamber, this place was used to store precious monster cores and other rare items. Your highness can think of this place as the treasury of our village.” Aditya nodded and curiously observed the high-level and complex runes that were drawn on the golden metal door. Even with his knowledge of runes, Aditya can barely understand anything. It was like a child trying to understand university-level mathematics.

“Old man, do you know who draw these runs on this door?”
