Dragon Monarch System-Novel

"I think I have come too far. I should head back." After putting a stamina recovery pill in his mouth, Aditya turned around to leave. But just when he turned around, he felt an Aura that immediately turned his face pale.

"What is this Aura?" Aditya felt as if a mountain was pressing his body. He felt suffocated. It was difficult for him to even breath properly.

Fortunately after a moment the Aura that was pressuring Aditya disappeared. As soon as that happen, the Dragon King coughed out blood and fell on his knees.

Cough!

"What was that?" Aditya wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He wasn't sure about the person or magical beast or maybe something, whatever that just pressured him, was far stronger than any opponent Aditya has ever faced in his life.

"I should head back. and lead everyone out of the forest." Since Aditya has now managed to push all the mutant fire ants 10,000 meters away. They can use this chance to head toward the south and fight their way through all the mutant fire ants and get out of the forest.

Swoosh!

Everyone was relieved to see that Aditya had returned. After this short yet very tiring and life threatening confrontation against the Mutant fire ants, everyone realized that without Aditya they would be dead.

"How is everything?" Noah asked while looking around. Right now everyone's body was drenched in rain water. The rain showed no signs of stopping any time soon.

"I have killed nearly 400,000 mutant fire ants in this short period. I have managed to kill every mutant fire ant in 10,000 meters radius. But it won't stay like this forever. In a few minutes, the 4th-order mutant fire ants will close the distance and attack us again. We will have to use this chance to head toward the south." Aditya's plan was to break the enemy formation from the south direction and head out of the heavenly hemlock forest.

Currently the whole expedition team was surrounded from all sides. Without them even realizing it, they were surrounded. Right now Aditya and the team was deep inside the outer region of Heavenly Hemlock Forest. Instead of waiting to confront all the mutant fire ants, the Dragon king wanted to head toward the south so that they can make a path by killing all the mutant fire ants and finally leave this forest.

"Alright let's do what Aditya says." Noah and others agreed after seeing how capable Aditya was. The plan was to make a safe path so that everyone can leave this forest with least or no injuries. The plan was never to take on all the mutant fire ants and fight till death.

Following Aditya's plan, everyone started running in the direction of south. But just as everyone started running Aditya realized something. He and Nora, the beginner 5th-order Succubus disappeared and reappeared behind everyone.

Aditya appeared behind Alicia. Both brother and sister were slowest in the whole expedition group. Since both Noah and Alicia were Mid 3rd-order and Peak 3rd-order cultivators. Their speed cannot compare to the speed of elite soldiers.

"What?" Alicia asked seeing Aditya running beside her. The princess was focused on running as fast as they could.

"You know princess, it would be better for you let your boyfriend carry you in this situation." Aditya innocently looked at Alicia. But to Alicia's his words had a different meaning. Aditya was telling her that she is too slow to keep up with others and might end up dying if she doesn't lets her boyfriend carry her.

"You just want to take advantage of this situation don't you?" Alicia shot a cold glare at Aditya. The Dragon King pretended to not see her glare. He innocently smiled and stretched out his both hands while looking at Alicia.

"Tsk! Fine." It's not like Alicia had any better option. Alicia was also concerned about her brother. She stopped running and looked at her brother. Only to find that her brother was being carried by the Succubus Nora.

At this moment Noah has never felt this embarrassed. He was being carried by a girl. The Crown prince felt even more embarrassed seeing Aditya looking at him with his one eyebrow raised. If possible Noah wanted to bury his head somewhere and just disappear.

Ehh!!!

While Alicia was looking at her brother in amusement, Aditya picked her up. As soon as Aditya's hands touched Alicia's body, the goddesses entire body was covered in Crimson lightning. The Crimson lightning formed a full body armor around her.

Alicia for a moment thought that she is going to be electrocuted but to her surprise nothing really happen. Aditya pulled her closer to his chest and started running at his full speed. In a few seconds, he left everyone behind.

Seeing Alicia looking at him with questioning gaze, a smiled appeared on his slightly pale face. "I can control my crimson lightning. Let's just say that this lightning is acting as a protective cover. Even beginner 4th-order won't be able to break this cover unless the enemy uses its strongest attack."

Alicia just nodded and then closed her eyes for a second. Meanwhile, the smile on Aditya's face instantly disappeared as he sensed the presence of some powerful enemies heading in their direction. With each passing senses, the enemy got closer and closer. As the enemy got closer, Aditya expression also turned uglier as he realized that the enemy is more powerful than he had initially thought.

'This is bad.' Aditya stopped running. By now he had covered 9,000 meters distance. He was still more than 10 km away from leaving the heavenly hemlock forest. Aditya had to stop running as he knew that even if he and Alicia manage to leave the forest without any injuries, everyone else will die in the hands of the 5th-order mutant fire ants.

10 seconds later, one by one others also started to catch up with Aditya. Sylvie was the first one to arrive. The White Lotus guild leader stopped as she also sensed the presence of 5th-order mutant fire ants. After Sylvie, Nora came with Noah in her arms. The Succubus looked very happy. There was a smile on her face as she stared at Noah. Meanwhile Noah was repeatedly cursing in his heart. Desperately wishing for this to end.

"It looks like we have come company." Nora put Noah down and looked at their right, from the west direction 3 humanoid looking like mutant fire ants were walking in their direction. Strangely all three humanoid mutant fire ants looked the same. It was impossible for Aditya and everyone to find even a single difference between them.

"You three look exactly like a certain mutant fire ant that I killed a day before yesterday." Hearing Sylvie's words, the expression of the three mutant fire ants changed. They now looked angry but no words came out from their mouths.

"Kekeke! It's not three mutant ants that you guys are going to face." Aditya put Alicia down and turned to his left to see another 4 similar looking 5th-order mutant fire ants. The situation just only got worse. Sylvie and Nora looked slightly panicked even though they tired their best to not show it. Especially Sylvie who was secretly getting ready to use the trump card that his Majesty had given her.

The 7 mutant fire ants looked exactly the same. All of them had two red pair of antennas on top of their heads. With hands and foot were morphed into big and sharp claws. All of them had bright red pupils. All the fifth-order mutant had short black hair and their bodies were covered with animal skins. Their fair skin was covered in mud.

Without saying any words, Sylvie and Nora looked at Aditya. All three exchanged a look of understanding and simultaneously nodded their heads as if knowing what to do in this situation. While Noah slowly walked near his sister. He was ready to give up his life for his sister. As for others, the rest of the expedition team was 4,000 meters away. It was just that Aditya, Sylvie and Nora's speed was on a complete different level when compared to the speed of the 4th-order elite soldiers.

All the mutant fire ants looked at Aditya. Seeing the Crimson lightning covering his body, they all understood that it was Aditya who was responsible for this storm. "Do you have any idea how many of our mutant fire ants died from your crimson lightning?"

Aditya coldly smiled hearing the mutant fire ant's words. "I have no idea. The whole forest is filled with overgrown ants. I just randomly called the lightning and your ants kept dying." Before anywhere Aditya looked, he only saw mutant fire ants. So he just randomly summoned his lightning to kill as many mutant fire ants as possible.

"It looks one of our enemy is a dragon." One of the 5th-order mutant fire ant whose name was Nicolas spoke while staring at Aditya. Right now Aditya's hands had been morphed into dragon claws. His whole body was covered with Crimson dragon Scales. It was no difficult for the ants to know that Aditya was a real dragon.

"It looks like we will have the opportunity of tasting the meat of a Dragon." Another mutant fire ant named Frank spoke while licking his lips.

"The opposite can also happen." After saying these under Aditya's control, 7 bolts of crimson lightning fell from the sky.

Bang!

The lightning strikes were so fast that non of the 5th-order mutant fire ants were able to avoid it. After being hit Crimson lightning, the mutant fire ants were lying on the ground with a painful look. This is to be expected as his class storm Marshall increased the power of lightning attacks by 50% when there was a storm.

Taking advantage of this situation Nora and Sylvie attacked the nearest Mutant fire ants. Sylvie attacked a mutant fire ant called Nicolas while Nora went for the mutant fire ant known as Frank.

Swoosh!

Under Alicia's worried eyes, Aditya also disappeared. Aditya's speed was even faster than Sylvie or any of the 5th-order mutant fire ants. Even though the 45% boost that he got from Soul Blaze has been deactivated, Aditya's current speed was more than enough to take on 5 fifth-order mutant ants.

[Agility: - 1103]

Knowing that the enemy was attacking them all the mutant fire ants got up despite the pain that they were feeling. While Nicolas and Frank went to deal with the two 5th-order cultivator women, other five angrily charged at Aditya, intending to take revenge for the surprise attack.

Clang!

The mutant ant named Luis tried to pierce Aditya's heart with his claw. Aditya easily blocked his attack using his black sword. Another 5th-order humanoid ant named Jimmy took this chance to attack Aditya from behind.

Jimmy couldn't stop himself from smiling as he saw that his sharp red claw was only a few inches away from piercing Aditya's back. However in that very moment, unexpectedly, to Jimmy's shock a bolt of Crimson lightning fell on his body.

Booom!

Jimmy was sent flying by the Crimson lightning bolt. Seeing this, his other three brothers who were Dillon, Evans and Eric, felt shocked. By now Dillon, Evans, Eric, Jimmy, Luis had a better understanding of Aditya's abilities. This dragon was able to freely manipulate the crimson lightning. Not only that the crimson lightning appeared to be so fast that none of them were able to reach in time to dodge the attack.

Meanwhile, Aditya ignored the shocked expression on Luis's face. He moved quickly and landed a kick on Luis's stomach which sent the mutant ant flying just like his other brother.
