Dragon Monarch System-Novel

"Let's see how it tastes." As soon as Aditya bit the apple, a sweet rich taste entered his mouth. Aditya closed his eyes to enjoy this feeling. To this day, Aditya never has eaten an apple that is tastier than this one. This is undoubtfully the best fruit Aditya has eaten in his whole life.

『Ding! The user's mana has increased by [100+].』

"So my mana also has been increased by [100+]." Currently Aditya's total base Mana stats had reached [4001+].

"Let's see what other thing I can find in this storage ring." The storage ring was very big. After looking for an entire minute, something caught Aditya's eyes. It was 11 notebooks that were being kept together. What caught the Dragon Monarch's attention was the words written on the cover of these notebooks. The words written on the notebook were runes. These runes were very complex. Even Aditya was barely able to understand anything. But from what Aditya was able to comprehend, he understood that these 11 notebooks were notes that can help Aditya to become a 4-star runemaster.

"In my free time, I should study these runes." Runes were one of the strongest and most deadly weapons in the whole world. It was an advanced form of magical language that had the power to even bend the natural laws of this world. However, Rune had become very scarce at this age. The knowledge that once helped a runemaster to easily become a 4-star or 5-star runemaster now has been lost from many continents.

In fact, the only place where Aditya can probably find a 4-star or higher-star runemaster is in the Main continent. As for 6-star or 7-star rune masters, Aditya doubted if any runemaster of that high star was left in this world.

In fact ever since Aditya had been trained by the old vampire, Aditya has developed an insatiable hunger to expand his knowledge even further. The desire to become the strongest runemaster in the whole world was born in Aditya's heart. So far, Aditya never actually has gotten the chance of expanding his knowledge. He was thinking of asking Alicia to help him in this matter after they return to the Dying Isle continent. But it seems Fate has been kind to him. He ended up finding the previous notes of a 4-star runemaster.

"I will need the low-grade spirit stones, gold, iron, and silver to build my Dragon palace." After thinking for a while, Aditya decided to give half of the mana stones and solar stones. Also, give all of the 2-star and 1-star magic fruits and the weapon and armor. Since Aditya doesn't really need them. During the goblin invasion, Aditya had managed to bring enough armor and weapon for his troops. Right now, Percy Lowe was repairing those armor and weapons to their former self.

Other than a hundred 3-star magic fruits, Aditya didn't really need the 1-star and 2-star magic fruits. Since his divine Crimson dragon bloodline is more effective. Also after this big fight, the Ethereal Empire suffered a big loss in their military power. The death of 94 elite soldiers and one beginner 5th-order elder must have reduced the Ethereal Empire's powers. The Ethereal right now needed to rebuild their former military power otherwise there is a big possibility that the neighboring Empire might take this opportunity to attack the Ethereal empire.

Scene change_____

Cough! Cough!

"I almost thought that I was dead for sure."

"No Joke man. I even said my final goodbye to my family in my heart."

"That was too dangerous."

"Yeah. We would have been dead if His Majesty and Sir Ronan had not protected us."

"Ronan, are you alright?" At this moment, Ronnie and Ronan of them were sitting in the air. Both of their faces had turned deadly pale. Both 5th-order cultivators had overused their mana earlier to protect everyone.

"Ronan, where is that kid?" Even though Ronnie was happy that he and his soldiers were able to avoid this fight which meant that the casualties from their side were very minimum, almost negligible, this attack nearly killed everyone's life. That was too reckless in Ronnie's opinion. Ronnie felt he needed to have a good talk with Aditya about what he had done.

"Your Majesty, I have told Aditya the location of the mutant fire ant queen. Since I cannot feel the presence of the queen anymore, I am guessing Aditya already has killed her." After telling Aditya about the queen's location, Ronan stopped using mana to expand his senses. The guardian of the Ethereal Empire was already out of mana. If he kept pushing himself, he might sustain some permanent injuries and might even end up damaging his cultivation.

"Good. Ronan, can you sense any mutant fire ant?" Ronnie really hoped that this attack that came almost at the cost of his and 2 million troops' life would end every mutant fire ant from existence so that the Ethereal Empire would be finally able to relax and recover their lost military powers.

Ronan also wished the same as Ronnie. In Ronan's long life, this was the first time, the magical animals had done this much damage to their Empire. If possible he never wanted to see another big invasion from the magical animals in his remaining whole life. "Your Majesty, I don't sense any mutant fire ant. I guess every last of the mutant fire ant has been killed. Also now that the queen has been killed, even if one or two mutant fire ant manages to get away, the danger of the mutant fire ants spreading has been stopped completely."

Ronnie sighed in relief. The whole matter regarding the mutant fire ant has been bothering Ronnie for days. Ever since the death of elite soldiers, Ronnie wasn't able to rest properly. It was as if he had lost his sleep and his desire to rest. His priority was to kill all the mutant fire ants.

"That's good." Ronnie then turned his head to Coby who was sitting below them. Diamond chains that were covered in blood were lying around him. Coby was so exhausted that he would have fallen asleep right here if possible. In this fight, he had not only he had over-pushed his limits but also overused his mana to make the barrier strong.

"Coby, after 10 minutes of break, order all the troops to prepare to return to the Ethereal Empire. I and Ronan will be heading out first." Since the threat has been dealt with, Ronnie and Ronan wanted to return back to the capital which he had left unprotected. Normally it was Ronan's duty to always stay in the capital and prevent any intruder from entering the Whitfrost city.

After 10 minutes,

Aditya met with Ronnie and Ronan outside the Heavenly Hemlock forest. Ronnie had some questions that he wanted to ask Aditya about the ant queen which is why the Empire waited for Aditya instead of returning to the capital.

"Aditya, I need a complete detailed explanation of what happened?" Ronnie wanted to know more about the mutant fire ant queen. This type of event has never really occurred in the history of Westnia or in the long history of the Ethereal Empire. Ronnie wanted to record every detail of this event in case something like did happen in the future.

"Uncle, I have some news that you might not like." Hearing Aditya's words, Both Ronan and Ronnie frowned and then looked at each other.

"Tell us what happened?" Ronnie asked in a very serious tone.

After making sure that no one was listening to their conversation, Aditya decided to tell Ronnie and Ronan about the League of Black Tomb. "Uncle, everything that happened was Manipulated by some mysterious people."

"What?" Ronnie and Ronan, both men were in aghast listening to Aditya's words. Aditya's words had hit them like a thunderbolt. To think this entire time, this whole thing was someone's plan.

"From the information, I have managed to obtain, they call themselves the League of Black Tomb. Uncle, I am unfortunate to say this but Elder Tate was a part of the organization." Hearing Aditya's words, Ronnie's entire body trembled. He had some doubts on Elder Tate's death before everyone. Now he understood why Tate had died. He was killed by Aditya.

"Tate purposely took us deep inside the Heavenly Hemlock forest. When we were surrounded by countless mutant fire ants, Tate revealed his true nature. Other than Tate, the organization also has many other members. I know two other members' names which are Scarlet who is the mutant fire ant queen and was following the organization's order and the other one is Ashley, the very Peak 5th-order cultivator that seriously injured me and forced us to use the teleportation orb.

"The most messed up thing about the whole story is the fact that before I can even reach the mutant fire ant queen, she was killed by another member named Jay and left without being spotted in my senses. I couldn't sense anything about him." Right now Ronnie and Ronan are in a state of aghast. Everything Aditya had said had shaken them to their core. To think there was some hidden organization powerful enough to raise an entire army of mutant fire ants with 20 beginner 5th-order cultivators in it.

"And here comes the worst news of all. This whole time the organization was after something that was inside the Ethereal Empire's treasury. They said that item was a key." Hearing Aditya's words, Ronnie couldn't keep his Aura under control any longer.

"We're going back to the capital." Without even waiting for Aditya and Ronan, Ronnie already had begun flying toward the Rose High Hills city where he can use the teleportation array to directly return to the Capital.

Ronan silently followed Ronnie back. Meanwhile, Aditya stayed behind fully knowing that it was too late. Instead of rushing, Aditya wanted to take his time. His mana was almost depleted. In this state, it was impossible for him to keep up with Ronan and Ronnie.
