Chapter 522 Chapter 522:- Queen Soul Devouring Spider

"How is the current situation?" Aditya asked. Right now, Aditya is standing on the walls of the Aurora Frostreach City (the former capital). Watson and Spencer were standing behind him.

Watson and Spencer shared a glance on hearing the question before Spencer replied. "Your Majesty, although we were successful at defending the cities from the Soul Devouring Spiders, villages and small towns weren't so lucky. The Istarin Empire's troops couldn't reach those villages and small towns in time as there weren't any teleportation arrays built in those villages and towns."

Making teleportation arrays in towns and villages wasn't so economical. Teleportation arrays are only built in big and small cities that have a population exceeding 100,000. Folks from Villages and towns would need to travel to the nearby cities to use the teleportation arrays. And also the people of the rural areas weren't rich enough to afford the cost of teleportation arrays. Not all common-class people have the money to use teleportation arrays.

If there were teleportation arrays built in towns and villages, then the Istarin Empire troops could have sent reinforcement in time to protect those small towns and villages.

"Although currently, I don't have an exact figure according to my estimation somewhere close to 4000 villages have fallen. The number of small towns that have fallen could be anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand." Since the Istarin Empire had just annexed the Northern Frost Dragon Empire's territories, the Empire did not have enough time to send troops to each village.

Normally, every settlement within the Empire is under the Empire's protection. In the Istarin empire, even a small village that has a population of less than 100 is protected by at least a dozen troops.

But here in the Northern Frost Dragon empire, things were different. Villages weren't given any priority. Almost no protection was offered to the villagers. And since most villages did not have any cultivators and the villagers were mostly normal humans who survived by hunting, fishing, and cultivating crops, the poor villagers weren't able to defend themselves from the Soul Devouring Spiders.

Another reason why the Istarin troops couldn't reach these small towns and villages in time was because of the lack of a good road network system connecting the small towns and villages with big cities. There were many villages that were located deep in the mountain valleys. There were towns that were located on top of mountains and hills. Without a proper road network, it took the troops two or three times longer to reach the villages and small towns than it would have with better roads.

"This explains how the Soul Devouring Spiders were able to grow its population this fast in such a short period of time," Aditya murmured in a low tone but Watson and Spencer were able to hear what he was saying.

The big towns were able to defend themselves as these big towns had enough adventurers and soldiers. Since everyone's lives were at risk, everyone worked with each other to kill the Spiders. Also, the big towns had better resources, better magic cannons, and better defensive dome systems which further helped them.

"Your Majesty, there is more."

"Go on..."

"Around 35 million Spiders had attacked the big cities in groups. But there are countless small groups of spiders that are scattered all around the Northern Frost Dragon Empire. If we don't take out these small scattered groups, these small groups could rapidly increase their populations by feeding on the villagers and the small-town folks."

"There is also another problem. If we don't act fast, there is a chance that these small groups of spiders will cross the border and reach the other side, the annexed territories of the Southern Fire Dragon Empire." Hearing all of this, Aditya rubbed his head feeling stressed about the entire situation.

In this situation, even Watson and Spencer didn't see a way out. It was impossible to even think that they could wipe out every single soul-devouring spider from the Southern region. Especially given how fast these damn spiders can repopulate their race. As long as these spiders had food, their population was going to grow at a rapid speed.

"Watson, have you asked for reinforcements from our allies?" Aditya asked.

"I already have, Your Majesty," Watson replied.

"Spencer, please send a message to Victoria. Tell her to come here. I want to see her here within 10 minutes." The reason Aditya was calling for Victoria was because she was a Peak 5th-order cultivator. She was the most powerful Dragonian of the Istarin Empire. Till now, she was staying at the annexed territories of the Echo Nexus empire. Aditya had given her the task of destroying every single one of the rebel groups and protestors against the Istarin Empire.

Aditya was going to need her assistance here.

"Alright." Spencer hurriedly left to send a message to Victoria.

"Watson, I am going on a hunt." Aditya sensed two figures appearing behind like ghosts.

"What are you two doing here?"

"Hehe! We thought we would lend you a helping hand." It was Lilith and Sasha. Both mother and daughter were wearing black cloaks and hiding their faces with black masks. The soldiers around Aditya looked at the two beautiful figures in confusion. The soldiers had a feeling that these two women were really beautiful.

Aditya appreciated both Lilith and Sasha's help. Both of them were powerful Peak 5th-order cultivators. Both of their assistants would definitely help him a lot in this hunt.

"Thanks. What's with the mask?" Aditya curiously asked.

"Well, it was Sasha's idea. She wouldn't let me come here without wearing this mask and this black cloak." Lilith said in a complaining tone.

"Hmph! I did this for your own good." Aditya understood that Sasha did this to keep both of their identities a secret.

A few minutes later, Riya, also arrived. Aditya thought that both of them would start arguing as soon as they saw each other but strangely enough, both Riya and Sasha remained quiet and just nodded their heads to acknowledge each other's presence. But this was enough to show the seriousness of this whole situation.

Aditya felt truly lucky to have these girls to share his burden with.

Around a few minutes later, Victoria arrived. As soon as she arrived, Lilith, Sasha, and Riya all stared at her.

Victora's presence was intimating. She was really beautiful but at the same time looked scary. She was rather tall for a woman; being 6 feet tall. She had tan skin and black hair that she tied into a ponytail. She was muscular like the Amazonians even though she is human. But those muscular did not make her ugly at all. In fact, in the eyes of Riya, Sasha, and Lilith, Victoria was really beautiful. Her muscles were well-balanced and made her look sexy.

Victoria had dark brown eyes. The dress she wore revealed most of her skin and highlighted her curves making her even more seductive. She was really bold in her dress. And she didn't seem to care what others thought of her. She has big breasts and a round ass. Bandages were wrapped around her big chest. Her stomach and her abs were left exposed. And she wore black tight-fitting leather pants. She wore black gloves.

Victoria was really sexy. Lilith even wondered if this badass woman was Half-Succubus.

"This is Victoria Baxter."

"Victoria, they are Riya, Lilith, and Sasha."

Victoria looked at the girls. She nodded her head without saying a single word. Victoria wasn't good with conversation as she was socially awkward. Considering the current situation, Lilith or Riya did not say anything. The girls just nodded at her in response.

"Let's head out. We will go to the central region of the Northern Frost dragon empire. According to our spies, in the central region, there are many small groups of the Soul Devouring Spiders scattered everywhere. We need to wipe these small groups out before they small groups can further repopulate and grow bigger in number and in size." Everyone nodded their heads in understanding.

Victoria was informed of the whole situation by Spencer while she was on her way here. So she knew the seriousness of this entire situation

"Let's head out." Following Aditya, the 4 of them flew away.

At the same time, Spencer sent out the entire shadow guardians to find out the locations of all of the scattered Soul Devouring Spiders so that Aditya and others wouldn't have to spend too much time searching.

Under Aditya's orders, the patrol on the borders between the Northern Frost Dragon Empire and the annexed Southern Fire Dragon Empire was increased so that no Soul-devouring Spiders could cross the borders.

Scene change______

"Let's spread out." Everyone agreed with Aditya's suggestion. Everyone spread out in different directions. Each of them had sensory powers. Throughout their sensory powers, they can sense up to a 50 km radius around them and know if there are any Soul-Devouring spiders within their radius. And the search was going to keep going until every single one of the Spiders was wiped out from the Southern region.

It didn't take long for Aditya to spot two small groups of Spiders. One group was heading toward a village while the other group was 30 km away from the first group and was in the forest. The first group had up to 500 spiders while the second group had somewhere around 100 spiders, but most of these spiders were really young and were led by an adult female spider.

And thus the hunt for spiders began. The 5 of them continue to hunt Soul-Devouring Spiders for hours. Around 5 and a half hours later, they were done wiping out most of the smaller groups.

But even after searching for 5 and half hours, they still hadn't been able to find the Main Queen from which all other spiders were born.

Five hours later, Aditya was about to return as he didn't find any more Soul Devouring Spiders anywhere. As he was heading back, he realized that he had left one area. He hadn't searched this area. So he decided to check this area in hopes of finding the Main Queen.

The area that he hadn't searched was a rainforest. The rainforest extended up to 109km. The rainforest had a very unique atmosphere. The forest received more rain than all other Southern region's areas combined. From this forest, many rivers originated and ran across the whole Southern region.

As Aditya stepped into the region, the very first thing that he sensed was a powerful presence. "There is no doubting this presence. This is the Soul Devouring Spider's Main Queen." The Aura of this Main queen was really unique and powerful. The Queen was somewhere deep in the rainforest.

"Found you......" Without wasting a single second, Aditya disappeared.

Boooom!!!!

He moved so fast that he easily broke this world's sound barrier. At the same time, the sky above the rainforest started to darken. Dark clouds containing Crimson lightning started to gather.

As Aditya approached the Main Queen also sensed Aditya's presence. The Main Queen became alert. Sensing the powerful Aura of this human, she knew that it was impossible for her to fight this human. She also knew that she could not outrun this human given how fast he was heading in her direction.

So the Queen waited for him to come.

Swoosh!!!!!

As Aditya arrived, the Queen raised her head and looked at the Dragon who was in his human form right now, above her. His whole body was surrounded by Crimson lightning. His eyes were glowing red. He had Crimson Dragons wings on his back. He was holding a black sword. Even though she was a Peak 5th-order powerhouse, in front of this Dragon, she felt inferior. She felt as if she was an ant that could be stepped upon at any second by this human.....no Dragon.

"So my time has come...." The Queen said.....
