Free Web NovelChapter 1085: Chapter 1085:- Recruitment Of Dragonians
The Vermillion Inferno Vampire Dragon silently watched as another powerful cultivator joined them. He was currently going through the same kind of evolution that she had gone through just a few hours ago.
"Can you sense his cultivation?" Aditya asked. Compared to their first meeting, in which he was being stoic and not showing any emotions at all, now he had a small, very faint smile on his face.
"His cultivation has reached Beginner 7th-order."
Aditya nodded his head. Although he did not show it, deep inside, he was really happy with this positive change. ’Now I have 2 Seventh Order subordinates.’ He had also recruited two Peak 6th-order humans.
But it wasn’t enough.
’I still need another Mid 7th-order or a Peak 7th-order.’ Aditya met almost 15 Beginner 6th-order cultivators. But Aditya did not recruit them. He wanted quality over quantity. If he needed quantity, then he could have gone to find rogue cultivators or adventurers.
"My Lord, because of you, I have been reborn." The man who reached Beginner 7th-order kneeled before Aditya and lowered his head in complete submission.
Because of Aditya, he finally managed to break through Peak 6th-order after 4 centuries of being stuck in the same stage. He understood that he had reached his natural cultivation ceiling. If not for the 25 drops of golden divine Dragon Blood, nothing else could have helped him make such significant progress.
"Serve me well, then I will give you more rewards."
"If 25 drops of Divine Dragon blood could transform you into a Vermillion Inferno Dragon, then what about 50 drops of Divine Dragon Blood or even 100 drops of Divine Dragon Blood?" Hearing this, the man’s breathing quickened.
Even everyone else who stood behind Aditya was very tempted. Just one drop was enough to change their races to Dragon with so many benefits. Then what about 100 or even 1000 drops of divine Dragon Blood?
They could not think that far.
"What is your name?" Aditya finally remembered that he had not asked the names of his subordinates.
"I am Zane." The man with long red hair replied. He was 6 feet 3 inches tall. He was of muscular build. Most notably, he had a Y-shaped scar on the left side of his forehead.
"What about your family name?"
"I don’t have any since I am an orphan." Nodding his head, he turned his attention to the rest. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"What about the rest of you?"
"I am Anya Vane."
"I am Ronen Blair." Ronen was tall and leanly muscled. He has striking, ash-silver hair that contrasts sharply with his sun-bronzed skin.
"Kael Thorne." ’Both Ronen and Zane are like big muscle-type guys. But compared to them, Kael is different.’
As Aditya observed the three men, his attention was quickly drawn toward Kael. Compared to Ronen and Zane, there was something noticeably different about him. Even after being trapped in this place for centuries, perhaps even thousands of years, Kael somehow managed to maintain a neat and well-groomed appearance. While the passage of time had left its mark on everyone else, he carried himself with a level of dignity that immediately stood out.
Ronen’s and Zane’s clothes were dirty and worn out, with holes visible in several places. Kael’s clothing, on the other hand, was remarkably clean and well-maintained. Although the fabric had begun to lose its original colour and had noticeably faded with age, it was still carefully preserved. He even wore a pair of gloves that covered his palms, adding to his refined appearance.
Aditya also noticed how meticulously Kael maintained his hair. His dark chestnut hair was neatly groomed and arranged, with not a single strand appearing out of place. It was hard to imagine someone paying such close attention to their appearance after being imprisoned in a place like this for so long.
His sapphire-blue eyes were equally striking. They carried a calm, composed, and aristocratic air that Aditya had only ever seen in members of noble families. There was a natural elegance in the way Kael carried himself, from his posture to his mannerisms. Seeing this, Aditya could not help but wonder whether Kael had once been a noble before ending up trapped in this place.
"Kael, do you perphaps come from a noble background?" Aditya could not help but ask.
Kael gave a polite nod. "Unfortunately, everyone in my family was killed because we offended a Duke."
"His men chased to kill. I had no choice but to take shelter in this hell to save my life. But after arriving here, I spent centuries trying to find a way out of this place, but regardless of what I tried, nothing worked."
"Well, to tell you the truth, whatever you tried did work somewhat, as you are just about 100 meters away from the exit." Hearing this, Kael felt very bitter. To think he was this close to the exit yet never dared to head in that direction.
"My Lord, are we leaving this place?" The thought of finally seeing the outside world made everyone excited. They could hardly wait to go out and see the outside world.
"not yet. I still want to find a few more cultivators and try to recruit them. The more powerful cultivators I recruit, the higher the chances that we will succeed."
"Succeed in what?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
"I haven’t told you all my identity."
"I am Aditya Bainnith. The Dragon Monarch."
"Wait, Bainnith?" Ayna was shocked by this.
"Isn’t Bainnith the family name of the Celestial Dragon Empire’s Royal Family?" Ronen asked others.
"Yes! I am the Grandson of Emperor Boris." Aditya replied with a faint smile. Being able to introduce himself this way brought him a certain sense of satisfaction. Until recently, he had almost always introduced himself simply as Aditya. Very few people knew about his true identity. But now things were different. He no longer needed to hide who he was.
The Night Rider Sect attacked my family and me. I gathered all of you because I intend to destroy the entire sect."
Hearing this, everyone was once again left stunned. The revelation raised even more questions than answers. Expressions of confusion and disbelief appeared on many faces as they looked at one another.
After all, the grandson of Emperor Boris was not an ordinary person. He was someone with one of the most powerful backgrounds in the entire world. This immediately made them wonder how the Night Rider Sect could have dared to attack him in the first place. More importantly, how had they managed to leave him in such a miserable state?
Countless questions filled their minds.
However, Aditya could already tell that explaining everything would take far too much time. There were many things that could not be summarised in just a few sentences. So rather than wasting time answering each question one by one, he decided to keep things simple.
"You will learn everything once we leave this place," Aditya said calmly.
Although everyone remained curious, they could tell from his tone that he had no intention of discussing the matter further for now.
For the next half an hour, the group continued searching for other cultivators trapped within this place. However, instead of finding any cultivators, they encountered two different wolf tribes along the way.
When they came across the first tribe, Aditya decided to use the opportunity to evaluate the combat strength of his Dragonians. He ordered them to engage the wolves while he carefully observed the battle. The fight did not last very long. His subordinates worked together efficiently and managed to defeat the entire group without suffering any serious injuries. By the end of the battle, Aditya had gained a much better understanding of their strengths, weaknesses, and overall combat capabilities.
Only a few minutes later, the group encountered a second wolf tribe. This tribe was significantly larger and noticeably more powerful than the first one. However, by this point, Aditya had already gathered the information he wanted regarding the combat abilities of his Dragonians. There was no reason to force them into another unnecessary battle and risk injuries or casualties.
Using his teleportation ability, Aditya led everyone around the second wolf tribe and completely avoided the confrontation. He had no intention of losing any of his subordinates. After all, he had invested a considerable amount of effort and used precious Divine Dragon Blood to transform them into Dragonians. In his eyes, every single one of them was valuable, and wasting their lives in an unnecessary fight would serve no purpose.
A man sat casually on top of a large boulder with his legs dangling freely over the edge. From his elevated position, he noticed a group of cultivators approaching from a distance.
At first, he assumed that this group had recently arrived from the outside world and was searching for a safe place to hide. The reason he came to this conclusion was that almost everyone in the group looked miserable. Their appearances suggested that they had been through a great deal of hardship.
His attention was particularly drawn toward the young man floating a few inches above the ground. The young man’s condition was especially terrible. Both of his arms were still wrapped in bandages, and one of his legs was heavily bandaged as well. More importantly, half of that leg was missing. Despite the injuries, the young man continued moving forward as if he had already grown accustomed to the pain.
As for the others accompanying him, they were not in much better condition. Their clothes were dirty, worn out, and filled with holes. Many of them looked exhausted, and their appearances suggested that they had spent a very long time surviving in this place. In fact, judging by their condition, the man felt that some of them might have been trapped here for just as long as he had, perhaps even longer.
"Who are you?"
