Chapter 281: Mural in Icy Shattered Ruin

Aditya and the Duplicate Aditya fought for some time. As the Duplicate Aditya was still injured and hadn't healed, Aditya was able to overwhelm in their second fight. He was able to land more injuries on the Duplicate Aditya's body. However, the Duplicate Aditya was far from going down.

bang!

Aditya's punch sent the Duplicate Aditya flying. The Duplicate Aditya is crushed on a floating island. However, even though the Duplicate Aditya's body was in a very bad condition, the Duplicate Aditya showed no emotion on his face. As if the Duplicate Aditya felt no pain, every time, the Duplicate Aditya would get up and return to fight against Aditya.

Boom!

Just as the Duplicate Aditya crushed on a floating island, the Dragon Monarch went on to use his Crimson flame.

Crimson Blaze!

With the wave of his hand, he created a giant 20 meters big Crimson flame star. Before the Duplicate Aditya could dodge, the attack hit him.

Boooom!!!!!

The entire small floating Island was destroyed by the attack. However, the Duplicate Aditya still looked like he wasn't going down.

The Duplicate Aditya tried to kill Aditya with the black sword. But this time, instead of blocking his attack, he just grabbed the Duplicate Aditya's black sword.

Drip! Drip!

Blood of the Divine Crimson Storm Dragon fell from his right palm as he tightly held the black sword's other hand. The sharp part of the sword had cut his flesh and caused his hand to bleed. However, he wasn't planning of letting go.

He instead looked at the Duplicate Aditya and said in a neutral tone. "You may look like me. You may possess the same skills that I possess. You have my strength but your weapon does not have the same power that my power does. Even if you have the same mind as me, you cannot evolve like me. This is the main difference between you being my duplicate. You will always be my duplicate. You will never be the original."

Saying that Aditya turned his left arm into his dragon claw. At the speed of lightning, his left dragon claw was in the Duplicate of Aditya's chest.

"Even if I was hit on my heart I cannot die because of the black heart." Aditya closed his eyes, and the next moment using a crimson blaze, he burned the Duplicate Aditya from inside. Using Crimson blaze he was able to destroy the Duplicate Aditya's, black heart and his other organs.

Just as Aditya ended the Duplicate Aditya's life, the entire world began to shake. Around Aditya, cracks started to appear just like they happened in the illusion world. The cracks slowly became bigger and bigger.

Adam who was very far away also saw these cracks and felt relieved. He can tell from previous experience that this world is collapsing. Soon he would meet Aditya and they would be taken to a different place.

As the cracks gradually expanded, Aditya's entire body started to glow in white light. The same thing happened to Adam. The next second, both of them were teleported somewhere else.

Aditya their eyes, both of them found themselves in a big room. Compared to the last time, this time the number of people has decreased by almost half. Almost half of the cultivators and adventurers have died and couldn't win against their own duplicate selves. As for others, Aditya and Adam can see a majority of them were seriously injured. Almost everyone here has suffered some kind of injury. Those who had 4-star or 5-star healing pills were able to quickly heal the injuries. Only a small percentage of people actually have 4-star or 5-star healing pills.

The cost of pills increases with their stars. A 4-star pill is super expensive for a rogue cultivator or an adventurer. As for 5-star pills, these are not found in the market. Most of the time, 5-star pills is mostly sold in an auction house. Presently in the Istarin Empire, only the goddess of alchemy was capable of producing 5-star pills. As for other alchemists, the rate of success is very low. For them, being able to produce even 10 5-star pills is a huge thing.

"I want to leave this. I came here to explore the Icy Shattered ruins. Why I am being forced to fight myself? This doesn't make any sense." One of the rogue cultivators shouted in frustration. Aditya and others can see injuries all over his body. It seems he barely managed to defeat his duplicate self.

"This almost feels like a teach. With each round, more and more people will be eliminated. Those who manage to survive till the final will gain great rewards and wealth while those who fail will die here." Everyone agreed with what the female rogue cultivator said.

"So What should we do now?" One of the adventurers asked out loud. Meanwhile, Aditya and some other people's attention was drawn to the walls.

'Someone used a basic illusion to make the walls appear to be plain. This illusion seems to be hiding something under it.' Aditya curiously walked near one of the walls. This was noticed by a few others including Adam who followed Aditya from behind.

"Aditya, did you find something strange?" Adam asked while walking behind Aditya.

"It seems like I did." Hearing this others who were talking among themselves stopped talking and turned their attention to Aditya.

Ignoring everyone's gazes, the Dragon Monarch placed his left palm on the wall. Aditya then controlled the mana in his body. Through his left palm, he released it on the wall. The next second something unexpected happened.

Crack!

Everyone heard the loud cracking sound. Everyone looked at each other. After 5 seconds of silence, this time the cracking sound became even clearer.

Crack! Crack!

"What is happening again? Are we going to be sent off to another world or what?" One of the Rogue cultivators asked in a frightened tone.

Boom!!!!!

All the cultivators and the adventurers heard loud glass-breaking sounds. The cultivators and the adventurers standing near the wall took a step away from the wall.

"The moment of hidden truth is here." Everyone present here widened their eyes in shock as they watched a mural appearing on the wall.

'Fortunately, I was able to spot this.' Aditya had one passive skill that allowed him to see through illusions. He would have some trouble breaking the illusion that was cast by 5th-order but as for illusions cast by 4th-order or lower-order, Aditya had no problem seeing through them.

[Fiery Vision]

[3-star Passive Skill]

[Description]:- A special and unique type of skill was created by combining the power of War Dancer, Rune Monarch, and Crimson Heavenly Dragon. This skill was later evolved from Lunar vision to Fiery Vision. The host is the founder of this unique eye skill. Since this skill is totally passive, it doesn't require any mana to activate.

[Function 1]: - The Lunar Vision gives the host Night vision. The host can see anything in the darkness.

[Function 2]: - The Lunar Vision lets the host finds the weak points of the opponent whose powers are one order above the host.

[Function 3]: - This skill gives the host 100% resistance against mind-controlling spells and complete illusion used by enemies whose power is one order above the host. But against higher orders, the resistance percentage decreases depending on the cultivation strength of the opponent.]

"The murals seem to depict some sort of story." Adam also seems to have noticed this. Aditya did not speak anything. He started reading what was written on the murals and tried to understand the pictures that were drawn. The mural had blurry images of many races. Their faces were blurred and it was difficult to know to which race they belonged.

Everyone else began to read the murals with great focus. Aditya was the first to understand what was written on the mural. Since he can remember since with a single glance, he was able to put everything together to form a story.

"Aditya, did you manage to understand what this Mural is trying to tell us?" Adam asked. Adam's question had attracted the attention of others. Others paid attention to what Aditya said. Some of them pretended to not care what Aditya was saying but their full focus was on Aditya.

"It's a story of several eras." Just as Aditya said these words, the entire place began to shake violently. As if an earthquake had hit this place. Some of them even fell down to their butts. While most of them managed to remain standing.

Craaa!!!!!!

As if sensing something, the Dragon Monarch became fully alert. Aditya's eyes turned into Dragon pupils; his pupils had become crimson with vertical slits in them.

ROAR!!!!!

A loud shook the entire room. The next second something from outside punched the roof of the room and made a large hole through it. The hole allowed light to come sunlight to come in the room.

"What the hell is that?" Everyone except for Aditya's heart nearly stopped beating seeing a red eye staring at them from through the hole. The size of the eye was enough to tell everyone just huge this creature was. The size of this creature's one eye was more than 20 in size. Just imagining the humongous size of this creature, everyone except for Aditya felt a chill running down their spine.

Even though Aditya wasn't afraid as others, his face had turned pale as his Dragon instinct was able to sense just how strong this enemy was. This humongous creature was a very powerful predator. As a Divine Dragon, Aditya can sense it. This creature was after him. It wanted his bloodline. If the Creature is able to consume his divine bloodline, it will be able to become even more powerful.

Bringing out his Adamantite Doomblade, Aditya infused the black sword with his mana. The Black sword was surrounded by a dark Crimson Aura. Aditya then vertically struck the wall.

Booom!!!!!

Aditya poured more than 500+ of his mana into the attack. Fortunately, the attack worked and broke the walls. Revealing what lay outside.

Beyond this gigantic room, the whole world was covered in ice. Thick layers of snow were covering everything. Seeing this Aditya was sure that they were in a different world as when he and Adam had entered into the icy Shattered ruin, Winter was about to come to an end. The snow was slowly beginning to melt but there it was extremely cold. Even Aditya felt slightly cold even though he was a fire Dragon and is supposed to have a very high resistance to cold temperatures.

Without wasting a single second, Aditya activated his passive skills. Aditya called for the Storm.

『Ding! The passive boost of the Storm Marshal class has been activated. The host's mana has been temporarily increased by 50%. The power of lightning and wind-type attacks has been increased by 50%. Your Agility has been increased by [300+].』

Storm Flight!

Lightning Armor!

Crimson Lightning Dash!

『Ding! You have activated Storm Flight. Due to the storm, the agility boost from the Storm Flight has been doubled. You have obtained [200+] Agility points.』

『Ding! You have activated the Lightning Armor. Your defense has increased. You have obtained [100+] strength.』

『Ding! You have activated Crimson Lightning Dash. By consuming [20+] mana per second, you have obtained [200+] agility points.』

He then grabbed Watson and ran out of the room before the humongous creature crushes the whole room. But when Aditya went out of the room, it was then he was able to see the true sheer size of this creature. For a second even Aditya felt fear seeing this huge monster before his eyes.

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