Dragon Monarch System

Chapter 1134: Chapter 1134:- Old Acquaintances

Everyone formed a single group and crossed the Tunnel World without encountering any problems. From there, the remaining journey took less than ten minutes.

Before long, everyone stepped onto a large Teleportation Array and was instantly transported to Axel City.

No matter how many times Spencer experienced it, he still found the power of Teleportation astonishing.

One moment, they were hundreds of kilometres away. The very next moment, they had already arrived at their destination. The convenience it offered was simply unbelievable.

Because of the existence of Teleportation Arrays, there was hardly any concept of traditional trade routes around the entire world. If a particular city lacked certain goods, merchants did not need to spend weeks transporting them across mountains, forests, and dangerous territories. Instead, the goods could simply be teleported from another city where they were available. As long as the destination possessed a Teleportation Array and the transportation fee was paid, almost anything could arrive within minutes.

However, that same convenience was also terrifying. The same Teleportation Arrays that allowed merchants to transport goods could also instantly move thousands of soldiers across the Empire.

A city that appeared completely peaceful one moment could suddenly find itself surrounded by an enemy army the next. Reinforcements could arrive almost instantly, making wars far more unpredictable than they would have been in an ordinary world.

"You are here." Seeing Riya, Sasha, and Lilith, Laura, Rin, and Athena all went to hug them. While the girls hugged each other, Wahid looked at Spencer.

"You are.....?"

"I am Prime Minister of the Istarin Empire. My name is Spencer." Wahid carefully looked at Spencer. He could feel that this Prime Minister had just stepped into the Beginner 5th-order realm. Wahid could sense a powerful Dragon Aura. The same kind of Aura that he sensed from other Aditya’s subordinates.

’So he is a Dragonian as well.’

"I am Wahid Harrington. Aditya’s uncle!" The two men shook each other’s hands.

"Lady Amelia, I certainly did not expect you to come." Wahid was pleasantly surprised.

"You know Amelia?" Asked Lilith, looking rather surprised.

"Well, Lady Amelia is a very influential person." More specifically, Riya’s grandmother is a very powerful cultivator that even the likes of Malakor Harrington and Old Emperor Boris had to respect.

Riya’s grandmother was Malakor Harrington and Emperor Boris’s senior. She was a very highly respected cultivator.

"Miss Riya’s grandmother is one of those extremely rare things among billions of cultivators throughout history who have managed to reach 8th-order." Hearing this, everyone here was shocked.

Even Riya herself was shocked. From what she was told, her grandmother had died.

"Mom?" Riya turned to her mother.

Amelia smiled at her daughter. "My daughter, it’s a long story. But in short, your grandmother wanted to remain in seclusion, so she asked me to tell everyone that she had passed away."

"How many years has it been since we last met?"Boris stepped forward and greeted Amelia. One of the main reasons why Amelia agreed to the engagement with Aditya is because of Boris.

Boris and Amelia’s mother were close allies. In fact, no one but them knew that Riya’s grandmother was actually staying within the same Pocket Dimension in which Boris was previously staying.

"A few decades, I believe!" After Aditya’s birth, Boris completely stopped appearing in public. Even in front of his close allies, he did not appear. He spent most of the time in seclusion and rarely came out to see his family, especially his grandsons.

"Malakor Harrington, why do you look much older than Boris despite being younger than him?" Amelia asked in a joking tone.

Malakor’s expression stiffened ever so slightly.

"Hahahaha!!!" Boris immediately burst into laughter without the slightest restraint. In fact, judging by how loudly he laughed, one might have thought Amelia had just told him the greatest joke of the century.

Malakor slowly turned his gaze toward him. "Unlike him, I did not leave my family to sleep in some Pocket Dimension. And the last few years have been quite stressful."

Boris’s laughter abruptly weakened. "That tongue of yours is still sharp as ever." Boris snorted, clearly no longer finding the conversation as amusing as before.

"My weapon is even sharper." The smile on Boris’s face instantly turned cold.

"Are you challenging me?" Boris asked with a cold smile.

"Back when you were the Emperor, you had no idea how many times I wanted to punch your face. But now that you are not the Emperor, I won’t need to worry about the consequences." Malakor calmly rolled up his sleeves. "Bring it on whenever you are ready."

For a brief moment, the two old men silently stared at each other. What had begun as Amelia teasing Malakor about his age had somehow turned into two grandfathers preparing to settle millennia of grievances with their fists.

Meanwhile, everyone else in the room froze. Their gazes nervously shifted between the two old men, unsure whether they should intervene or simply pretend they had suddenly become invisible.

The most shocked among them were Wahid and his wives. Throughout all the years they had known Malakor Harrington, they had never once seen this side of him. To them, Malakor had always been a composed and dignified man.

Yet now, that very same man was calmly rolling up his sleeves and openly expressing his millennia-old desire to punch a former Emperor in the face. For a moment, Wahid and his wives genuinely did not know how to react.

"Now! Now!"

"This is both of your first times meeting your grandson’s future wives. Both of you should remain calm and composed."

But internally, Amelia herself was sweating a lot. She was very nervous. As someone just barely a thousand years old, before two monsters who had lived over 20,000 years, she was a toddler. Who would have thought that her light joke would start a chain of explosions? And if those two decided to fight, Amelia did not know if there was anyone capable of stopping them.

"Where is Aditya?" Asked Riya. Riya appeared very concerned.

"He went to train in the forest." Athena replied.

"Why is that idi.......ahem I mean...... training in this condition when he should be on his bed and focusing his energy on healing?" Lilith did not want to put a poor impression on Aditya’s family, so she controlled herself.

"Just a few hours after he regained his consciousness, he left home without telling any of us, just to get his revenge. From that point, we know that there was no stopping him. So instead of forcing him to rest, we make sure that he at least gets a good night’s rest every night." Hearing this, Riya nearly lost it.

’Does he not care about his own safety at all?’

’Let him come back. I will teach him a lesson on behalf of all the sisters.’

"I am so happy that you all came here." Laura held Riya’s hand.

"Yeah! I am happy to be here as well. Back home without Aditya, things were beginning to get boring." Lilith and Sasha nodded their heads along.

"Though I wish Julia and others could come here." Lilith genuinely wanted to bring other girls with her. Unfortunately, none had managed to reach 5th-order yet.

"That’s unfortunate!" Riya also sighed, feeling that it was a pity.

"This could be an opportunity in disguise for them."

"There is no doubt that Julia and Alicia, both are immensely talented in cultivation. As long as they gave regular cultivation time, it wouldn’t have been so hard for them to reach 5th-order, especially considering the fact that the Mana density within the Dragon Palace is as high as the mana density of the Main Continent." But no matter what happened, those two never felt a strong need to rapidly increase their strength.

"You are right! This should give them the motivation that they need to finally sit down and cultivate every single day even if that is for a few hours."

Somewhere deep within the forest, a young man was chasing after a fast-moving white-tailed Lightning deer. Aditya’s goal was not to hunt this rare Magic animal because he wanted its nourishing flesh. His goal was to teleport the Deer to him. But while chasing after it from a distance of 1500 meters, he suddenly sneezed.

Achooo....!!!

"Did I catch a cold?" He rubbed the tip of his nose.

"Probably not!" Without thinking much further, he kept going with his training. His goal was to train his ability to teleport fast-moving things to him.

As for the White-tailed Lightning Deer, it had already nearly disappeared from Aditya’s sight. Despite being only a Peak 5th-order magic animal, its agility was comparable to that of a Beginner 6th-order cultivator. After all, White-tailed Lightning Deer were widely known for their extraordinary agility. Their bodies were naturally built for speed, allowing them to outrun magic animals and cultivators far stronger than themselves.

However, such incredible speed came with its own drawbacks. Since most of their stats were heavily concentrated on agility, their other attributes were considerably lacking in comparison. Strength, in particular, was their greatest weakness.

Despite being Peak 5th-order magic animals, their physical strength was merely comparable to that of a Beginner 5th-order cultivator. But none of that mattered at the moment.

How could Aditya possibly allow his prey to escape right before his eyes? Without slowing down, he reduced the gravity acting on his body by half.

The effect was immediate. With the burden on his body drastically reduced, Aditya’s speed surged, and the distance between him and the White-tailed Lightning Deer slowly began to shrink.
