Dragon Monarch System

Chapter 516:- Strange Phenomenon

While waiting to find Simon and Pope Alaric, Aditya’s birthday passes. As the birthday party was postponed, Aditya found himself with a lot of time. Although he could have spent his time playing and having fun as usual, he didn’t do any of that. Instead, he spent the entire night, making some upgrades to his armor and his sword and preparing for a big battle. The entire Istarin Empire’s troops were ready under the 7 general’s command. If anything happened in any of the Empire’s territories, in less than 5 minutes, a million of the Istarin Empire’s troops would reach there.

That night, Aditya did not have any intimacy with Julia and Alicia as his mind was somewhere else and he looked restless for some reason. This greatly worried, Julia and Alicia. Both girls tried various means of making him relax but nothing worked. Although Aditya smiled and talked calmly, everyone could tell that Aditya and his behavior were slightly different from his usual self.

And just like that the whole night passed. As soon as dawn came, Aditya went to the training ground to do some sword training. But he hadn’t even had the chance to start his training when Watson came to him running with a panicked face. Very rarely, Aditya had seen that panicked look on Watson’s face.

“Watson, what happened?” Aditya asked his butler. 𝓇𝘦𝒶.𝘤𝘰𝑚

“Your Majesty, you have to come.” Watson was literally shaking at this point. He was trembling. His whole body was soaked in sweat. His heart was beating loudly; like a drum. Aditya grew even more concerned about why Watson was looking like this. He had never seen his butler looking like this. Even when things looked absolutely helpless in the past, Watson never looked this panic as he is right now.

“You need to head to the Northern Frost Dragon Empire right now. Something terrible has happened.” Watson said in an urgent tone.

Aditya frowned and asked. “Did Simon show up or what?” Aditya asked.

“No, the situation is even worse than this. I….It’s so difficult the explain the whole situation in words.”

“Alright. Let’s go.” Aditya grabbed Watson’s hand and then teleported to the teleportation array. Both of them stood in the teleportation array. Watson set the coordinate and the next second both of them teleported to the Southern region.

Scene change_____

As soon as Aditya and Watson came to the Capital of the Northern Frost Dragon Empire, there was chaos all over. The people were running here and there. There were giant spiders with red eyes and transparent bodies running around. People were screaming and running here and there to escape from the giant-looking spiders.

<nullb>Ah…..!!!!

“Someone, please save me…” Said one of the young women who was being chased by one of those 2-meter strange-looking Spiders. However, no one paid anything to her screaming or pleading. The woman couldn’t outrun the strange-looking Spider and was caught by one of the white spider webs that the strange-looking Spider shot at the woman. Under Aditya and Watson’s eyes, the strange-looking Spider opened its large hideous mouth and bit the woman’s shoulder.

Under their shocked and disbelieving gazes, at an alarming pace, the woman’s whole body started to wither like tree leaves. She rapidly began to age. Her hair started to turn hair. Wrinkles began to appear all over her skin. Even the scream that she let out became weaker. A few seconds later, her whole body had shriveled. Her body completely withered and became a former husk of what she was. She looked completely unrecognizable. She was dead. She looked like she had become a mummy.

Meanwhile, the strange-looking Spider that did this let off the woman and went after another target. Aditya noticed that the strange-looking Spider had gotten a bit stronger after doing this.

The very same thing was happening to people all around him. Not even cultivators were spared. The strength of these strange-looking Spiders varied from 1st-order to even 4th-order. Aditya can even sense Peak 5th-order Spiders in the city. Each second, thousands of people were getting killed.

Chaos was everywhere. The soldiers were protecting their own lives much less saving the lives of the ordinary people who were really weak and could not even put up a fight in front of these strange-looking Spider.

Aditya had never seen something like this. It was an apocalyptic situation. Mother wasn’t even hesitating to abandon her child to save herself. Father abandoning his daughter to save his life. Son was betraying his mother, his Girlfriend was betraying his boyfriend, and young ones were abandoning the elderly ones…at this moment he was able to see all kinds of betrayal. There were also people who sacrificed themselves to save their loved ones. To let their loved ones run away.

“Where did these spiders come from?” Aditya asked in an icy cold tone as crimson lightning bolts started cracking around his body. The appearance of Simon yesterday and now this cannot be just a coincidence. Aditya was willing to bet his Empire that Simon and the mysterious organization were behind all of this.

Watson gulped nervously seeing Aditya in such a bad mood. “Your Majesty….” Watson noticed the sky above Aditya rapidly darkening. Crimson lightning flickering around Aditya had become rapid and very chaotic. Seeing his Watson took a few steps back. He knew that if he stayed closer to Aditya then he might get hit by one of these crimson lightning bolts. And Watson isn’t sure if he can take a hit from one of the lightning bolts without severely getting injured.

Suddenly a Peak 4th Spider started running towards Aditya’s direction. Aditya did not even look at the strange-looking Spider.

Crack!!!

Suddenly a crimson lightning bolt fell on the strange-looking Spider’s body from the sky. The lightning bolt made the strange-looking Spider explode like a water balloon. The white blood of the spider along with its meat spread in all directions.

『Ding! You have killed a Peak 4th-order Soul Devouring Spider. You have gained experience points. Your experience points have been saved.』

From reading the notification that flashed on his retina, Aditya was able to learn the names of these strange-looking Spiders.

“Soul Devouring Spiders….” Aditya frowned. The young Emperor had a habit of reading history books. And thanks to reading books on a regular basis, he has learned a lot of things about this world and about the history of this world. The Dragon Monarch has come across many strange kinds of monsters. But he seen these strange-looking spiders with transparent bodies before nor had he heard about Soul Devouring Spiders.

“Watson….” However, this wasn’t the time to think or frown about such a matter. Each second many lives were being lost. These people were now Aditya’s people. As their King, he cannot allow them to die.

Watson understood Aditya’s call. Without any reservation, he took out twin swords and disappeared in a flash.

Crimson wings appeared on his back, and the next second, Aditya flew up in the air. Once he was 100 meters above the city, he took a moment to observe the chaos that was happening all over the city. The Soul Devouring Spiders were everywhere. These damn Soul Devouring Spiders could easily climb and destroy any barriers.

From the sky, he could even that even the Dragonians were having trouble defending themselves from the Soul Devouring Spiders. He could sense up to nearly 100,000 Soul-Devouring Spiders within the city itself. And the number was even higher outside of the city. Actively, the number of the Soul Devouring Spiders was increasing as more and more spiders were entering the city either by climbing the walls or through the gate as the guards who were guarding the entrances of the city had long been killed.

<nulli>Swoosh!!!!!!!

<nulli>Grabbing the black sword, Aditya disappeared. The people who were being chased by the Soul Devouring Spiders suddenly felt strange. As they stopped running and turned around to look back, they found that the Soul Devouring Spiders that were chasing them had been killed.

Aditya’s current speed had reached a dangerous level. He was able to break the sound barrier easily. To the eyes of the people, he had become a red light that moved extremely fast. Whenever the red light passed by, all of the Soul Devouring Spiders would be killed.

The capital was filled with Soul Devouring Spiders. If not for Aditya, the whole capital and its millions of population would have fallen. However, Aditya alone was enough. With his super speed, he moved through the entire capital. Along the way, every single Soul Devouring Spiders was slaughtered by him.

Within a few minutes, the situation within the city began to stabilize and everyone began to calm down. Once Aditya determined that the city was no longer in danger and the soldiers could take care of the rest, he went outside of the city to take care of the bigger horde.
