Dragon Monarch System

Flying outside of the city, Aditya was stunned to see the almost infinite number of Soul-Devouring Spiders outside of the capital. Aurora Frostreach, the capital of the Northern Frost Dragon Empire was surrounded by countless number of Soul-Devouring Spiders. The number of Soul-Devouring Spiders looked infinite from the sky.

From the sky, Aditya saw countless Soul-Devouring Spiders grouping against soldiers of the Istarin Empire. There were about 100,000 Istarin troops at the Capital to guard the city. For every soldier, there were 10 to 50 or even 100 Soul-Devouring Spiders in some cases. The Istarin troops were being overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the Soul-Devouring Spiders.

There were so many Soul-Devouring Spiders that Aditya was having a headache while trying to count their number through his senses. But with a rough calculation, he quickly was able to estimate that there were around 17.5 million Soul-Devouring Spiders. Aditya had no doubt that the number was even higher. The number could be well over 25 million or even 50 million.

'How the hell such a humongous scale of Soul-Devouring Spiders came around the capital?' Aditya asked himself while staring.

He did not dwell on the question any longer. He further flew into the sky.

"All Soldiers retreat back into the Capital. I will take care of the rest."

Using Mana Aditya amplified his voice. His voice was able to reach the ears of all of the Istarin Soldiers. Unfortunately by now many of the troops have lost their lives. Around 18,000 troops were already dead as they were overwhelmed by the number of Soul-Devouring Spiders. If all of the Soul-Devouring Spiders were 1st-order then even fighting 100 million of them wouldn't have been much of a problem. But Soul-Devouring Spiders had many strong ones. There were millions of Peak 2nd-order and Peak 3rd-order spiders. Although there were very less Peak 4th-order and 5th-order spiders compared to the millions of Peak 2nd-order and Peak 3rd-order spiders, their strength was also something that cannot be ignored.

As soon as Aditya's voice reached their ears as if the soldiers had suddenly found new determination and courage to fight, the soldiers used all of their powers to make a path to retreat back.

At the same time, Aditya also used Crimson lightning from the sky. He helped the soldiers who were in very tight situations with his crimson lightning and helped them make a path to the city gate.

Bang!!

bang!!

bang!!!

A few minutes later, the troops had successfully retreated back to the city. But as soon as the troops retreated, the Soul-Devouring Spiders began to make their way to the city. The Soul-Devouring Spiders tried to enter the fight through the four entrances and by climbing the walls. On the walls, the soldiers started using cannons, arrows, and long-ranged spells to keep them away but their numbers were just too much.

Meanwhile, Aditya took a deep breath. "It's time...."

Rumble!!!!

Suddenly it started to rain. As the first few drops of rain fell on the bodies of the Soul-Devouring Spiders, smoke started rising. The Soul-Devouring Spiders' bodies started burning from the acidic rain.

The rain did not put on the Capital. As if the rain was protecting the entire capital from the Soul-Devouring Spiders. If one took even one step outside of the walls, his body would get burned because of the acid rain.

The rain started all around the capital. Under the Acid rain, the Soul-Devouring Spiders quickly started dying. Especially the 1st-order and 2nd-order Soul-Devouring Spiders couldn't witness even a few seconds of the heavy acid rain. The moment the acid rain hit their bodies, their flesh started burning and melting.

From the walls, the injured and tired soldiers of the Istarin Empire watched in a mix of astonishment and shock as the number of Soul-Devouring Spiders rapidly started to decrease.

However, unable to bear the acid rain, the Soul-Devouring Spiders tried to force their way to the city where it wasn't raining at all.

"Start the city defensive Dome," Watson ordered. The nearby soldier did what he was ordered to. Before a large wave of Soul-Devouring Spiders could enter the city, a white transparent bubble-like barrier covered the entire city and prevented the Soul-Devouring Spiders from entering.

Watson did not stop there. He took out three Solar Cannons. He gave two of the Solar cannons to fellow Istarin Soldiers while he used one. He showed the soldiers how to use the Solar Cannons. Under their shocked gazes, a long beam of light was released from the Solar cannon. The beam of light instantly clearly a path and destroyed every single Soul-Devouring Spider in its path. Not even peak 4th-order and beginner 5th-order cultivators were spared.

Booooooom!!!!

Seeing what kind of damage these Solar Cannons had, the other two soldiers became excited and started using the Solar cannons as well.

Even the Peak 3rd-order Soul-Devouring Spiders couldn't resist the acid rain. Around half or a minute later, even the 3rd-order Soul-Devouring Spiders also rapidly began to die.

"This type of situation is perfect to use this skill of mine." Acid rain was a skill that let Aditya use acid rain over a large area. The only limitation of this skill was the acid rain was ineffective against magic monsters and cultivators whose cultivation rank was higher than his. Since he was currently a Peak 3rd-order cultivator, the acid rain wasn't powerful enough to kill 4th-order and 5th-order Soul-Devouring Spiders. But that does not mean the acid rain wasn't giving any damage to the 4th-orders. The 4th-orders weren't completely resistant to the acid rain after all.

At the same time, Aditya's experience bar was exploding. He was gaining a ton of experience points. The system was making a non-stop ringing sound that was starting to give him another headache.

『Ding! You have killed a Peak 1st-order Soul-Devouring Spider. Your experience points have been saved.』

『Ding! You have killed a Peak 2nd-order Soul-Devouring Spider. Your experience points have been saved.』

『Ding! You have killed a Peak 2nd-order Soul-Devouring Spider. Your experience points have been saved.』

『Ding! You have killed a Peak 1st-order Soul-Devouring Spider. Your experience points have been saved.』

『Ding! You have killed a Peak 3rd-order Soul-Devouring Spider. Your experience points have been saved.』

『Ding! You have killed a Peak 2nd-order Soul-Devouring Spider. Your experience points have been saved.』

『Ding! You have killed a Peak 1st-order Soul-Devouring Spider. Your experience points have been saved.』

『Ding! You have killed a Peak 3rd-order Soul-Devouring Sp...........』

These Soul-Devouring Spiders possess striking, blood-red eyes that seem to pierce through the very soul of any unfortunate being that encounters them. Their bodies are unique, characterized by translucent exoskeletons, allowing glimpses of their otherworldly, spectral innards. Despite this apparent fragility, their skins are really tough, with a metallic sheen, as if their skins are forged from otherworldly materials.

Their long, spindly legs terminate in sharp, obsidian-like tips, enabling them to move with eerie grace and super-fast agility. Their mouths are equipped with serrated mandibles designed to suck the spiritual essence or life force of living beings.

Swoosh!!!!!

Bang!!!

In the next few minutes, the area around the Capital turned into a bloody battlefield where a single man took on more than 25 million of Soul Devouring Spiders. Aditya constantly kept appearing and disappearing in various parts of the battlefield. He alone kept the 5th-order and Peak 4th-order Soul Devouring Spiders away from the city from all sides. He moved so fast that to others it looked as if he was teleporting around the whole battlefield each second.

At the same time, aside from the Acid rain, lightning crimson bolts constantly kept striking down as if heaven was punishing the Soul Devouring Spiders. The whole battlefield had become crazy. Each second, the number of Soul Devouring Spiders was rapidly decreasing. At first, there were more than 25 million Soul Devouring Spiders. Now that number had dropped from 25 to 17 million. 8 million that died were Peak 1st and 2nd-order and third order Soul Devouring Spiders; that died from acid rain. The acid rain had become a shield for the people of Aurora Frostreach City and the soldiers.

Without Aditya, by now the whole Aurora Frostreach city would have been overrun by Soul Devouring Spiders and millions of people would have died as a result.

Even though in such a short time, a huge number of troops and people had died, which was really sad and unfortunate, thanks to Aditya more casualties were prevented.

The battle continued for more than 5 hours straight. In those 5 hours, Aditya alone took on the millions of Soul Devouring Spiders. As the weak ones had died within a few minutes, the remaining ones were the real strong ones. In Aditya's opinion, the existence of such strange spiders defied the laws of this world. How could something like this even exist in this world?

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