Dragon Monarch System Chapter 173

This chapter is dedicated to the readers [Mark_Campos_5123], [Yam_Van_5538], and [Forgotten_Krazy] for gifting this novel with multiple ice colas. Thank you very much to the readers [Mark_Campos_5123], [Yam_Van_5538], and [Forgotten_Krazy] -------------------------- Crimson Lightning! Crack! The sky rumbled with Crimson lightning snakes. Under the Dragon Monarch's command, more than thousands of Crimson lightning descended from the sky. It was as if the heaven was punishing the Mutant fire ants. The Crimson lightning strikes were so fast that not even the Peak 4th-order mutant fire ants were able to see it coming. Boooom! Boom! Booom! 『Ding! You have killed a Peak 4th-order mutant fire ant. Your experience points has been saved up for future use.』 『Ding! You have killed a Peak 3rd-order mutant fire ant. Your experience points has been saved up for future use.』 『Ding! You have killed a Mid 4th-order mutant fire ant. Your experience points has been saved up for future use.』 『Ding! You have killed a Peak 4th-order mutant fire ant.....』 『Soul Blaze is charging - 3%』 Aditya's attack instantly burned thousand mutant fire ants to ashes. But the Dragon Monarch did not stop there. Aditya flew 50 meters above the ground. From this height, any direction he looked, the only thing that came into his view was endless horde of mutant fire ants. "It seems the mutant fire ant queen is wants to make sure that we're dead no matter what." Aditya's eyes flashed in killing intent as he tightly clenched his left fist while staring the mutant fire ants beneath him. "That's good as well. Originally we had came here to find out about the mutant fire ant nest location. Now I might as well kill the mutant fire ants alone." Holding the Adamantite Doomblade in his right hand, Aditya covered the black sword with Crimson lightning. Crimson lightning violently flickered around his body. Swoosh! The next second, Aditya had disappeared from the sky. The 4th-order mutant fire ants that were previously keeping an eye on Aditya after seeing how powerful this beginner 3rd-order was, looked stunned and shocked finding that their target had disappeared. Violently lightning cracking sound was heard all over the battlefield. Aditya reappeared 100 away from the expedition group that were currently struggling to fight the endless horde of mutant fire ants. "System put all of my remaining free stats into my agility." [Ding! 102+ free stats has been added to agility.] The crimson lightning that was covering Aditya's body became even more violent and fierce. Currently Aditya's agility had reached a terrifying level. He was simultaneously using multiple skills. For a normal cultivator doing this might not have been possible but for Aditya who has huge mana reserve, using 10 or even 20 skills at the same time was not an issue for Aditya. Lightning Armor! 『Function 1: - The user can make a transparent lightning armor using lightning elements. It will consume [20+] mana per second to keep the lightning armor activated. When the lightning armor is made, the user's defense will be highly increased. Function 2: - When the first function of this skill is used, the user's strength will be increased by [100+]』 Storm Flight! 『Function 1: - When this skill is activated, the speed of the user will be increased by [100+]. It will consume [20+] per minute to keep the first function activated.』 Crimson Lightning Dash! 『the user's speed will be increased by [200+], and it will consume [20+] mana per second to keep the skill activated.』 The Dragon King's base speed had reached [603+]. The Bracelet of Wind Fairy passively gave him [100+] agility while the passive skills like Crimson lightning dash and Storm Flight gave him another [300+] boost in agility. In short Aditya's current agility had reached [1003+]. Swoohs! To others Aditya's was moving at the speed of the light. The only thing that his enemies saw was Crimson light passing by them. Right now other than keeping three of his skills activated, Aditya wasn't using any other skills or wasting his mana. He was preserving his mana for the 5th-order mutant fire ants which he believed is going to attack them sooner or later. If he exhausts his mana early in the battle, everyone was going to die. Smash! Booom! Aditya moved around the battlefield like a ghost. He madly swung his Mid 5-star black sword. Each second the Dragon Monarch was slaughtering, ending the lives of more than 220+ mutant fire ants. His super agility made him undetectable, unpredictable, and extremely dangerous. 『Ding! You have killed a Peak 4th-order mutant fire ant. Your experience points has been saved up for future use.』 『Ding! You have killed a Peak 2nd-order mutant fire ant. Your experience points has been saved up for future use.』 『Ding! You have killed a Beginner 4th-order mutant fire ant. Your experience points has been saved up for future use.』 『Ding! You have killed a Mid 3rd-order mutant fire ant. Your experience points has been saved up for future use.』 『Ding! You have killed a Beginner 4th-order mutant fire ant.....』 『Soul Blaze is charging - 88%』 While Aditya was madly slaughtering 220+ mutant fire ants per second, his teammates were having a very difficult time. If Aditya had no created the arc-shaped magma river, then the whole team would already had fallen from being attacked from all sides. The situation was only getting worse. It only has been a few minutes since the battle has just started. While for the mutant fire ants, it could be said that they were just warming up, but for the expedition team members, they were being forced to give their all and keep fighting. They knew that once they stopped, their mistake was going to take someone's life and break the team formation which would result in the deaths of everyone. At this moment, there was no differences. Everyone had put their differences aside and was fighting with their lives on the line. Whether it was human, mermaid, beast men, elves, everyone had to work together otherwise they all were going to die. After Aditya killed Tate, there was 98 people in the expedition team. Among the 98 people, 67 of them were mages while the rest were warrior or body path cultivators. The body path cultivators had to fight the mutant fire ants in close range. Meaning that the chances of them getting injured was higher than the mages who took out using long ranged spells. At this moment the goddess of wealth, princess Alicia was fighting. The princess did not held back from using her fire type attacks. In fact her fire type attacks powers had reached the destruction level of some beginner 4th-order cultivation. This was all thanks to the armor set that Aditya had enchanted for her yesterday. Hell Fire! The princess Alicia shouted while pointed her right index finger toward the horde of 3rd-order mutant fire ants that was 50 meters away from them. As the princess finished using one of her most powerful attacks, for the next three seconds nothing happened. The mutant fire ants sneered at Alicia while fearlessly charging forward but this was a grave mistake. One Peak 3rd-order mutant fire ant suddenly stopped feeling the temperature of the earth strangely increasing. Before it can and other mutant fire ants could understand what was going on, the ground suddenly Brust as a golden flames started rising from the ground. A few mages stopped and looked at their right. Alicia's fire type attack had devoured an area of 25 meters in golden flames. When the golden flames stopped burning, more than hundreds of dead mutant fire ants was lying on the ground. Their bodies has been burnt black. White smoke was coming of their bodies. "Not good, I am already beginning to run out mana." Alicia said in a low tone. Her face had turned slightly pale. To make her attack more destructive, Alicia had to put extra amount of mana into her spells. Given how things were going for her, in a few more minutes, the Princess of the Ethereal Empire will run out of mana and won't be able to provide any assistance. Just thinking of this made Alicia extremely frustrated. Around 400 meters to the north, Aditya was surrounded by more than one hundred thousands of mutant fire ants. "Finally." Aditya slowed down and put his black sword to kill a beginner 2nd-order mutant fire ant. There was a smile on the Dragon King's face. The reason for this smile was..... 『Soul Blaze is charging - 100%』 『Ding! Soul Blaze has reached 100%. All of the host's stats has been increased by 45%.』 『 Soul Blaze: - 『 3rd-order Passive skill 』 『 Description 』 - A special type of skill that can be learned by both body and magical path cultivators. There is no requirement to learn this skill. This skill itself is a passive skill that will increase the user's stats after reaching a certain limit. 『 Function』- Since this skill is a passive skill, the user won't have to spend any mana to activate this skill. This skill works by collecting a small part of the enemy's soul killed by the host. When a certain amount of soul energy is collected by the user, this skill will increase the user's stats by 45% for a temporary period of time. The boost in the user's stats will disappear after 10 minutes. Note: - This skill is totally passive. The activation of this Skill cannot be decided by the user. 』 Aditya closed his eyes while taking a deep breath. He can feel the rise in his stats. The new and fresh cold yet warm energy spread throughout his body. "Time to use one of my new skills." Aditya raised his right fist while gathering a large amount of mana in his right fist. Storm Summon! ---------------- Really Thank you very much to all those who sends support with valuable golden tickets. I hope we can keep it up!!!
