--------------------------

After walking for another 5 minutes, Aditya finally reached the center where he found a woman sitting on a golden throne.

"It's nice to meet you, Aditya." Aditya looked at the woman sitting on the throne that was made up of gold. The woman had long beautiful scarlet red hair that reached down her waist. The woman had an angelic face. The most attractive thing about her face was the mole that was located right under her right eye.

The woman had light red pupils. She was somewhere around 5 feet 6 inches tall. The woman was wearing a full-body dark red outfit that tightly hugged her body; revealing her curves.

"I am sure by now you already have guessed my identity. My name is Scarlet. I am the mutant fire ant queen." Aditya frowned while looking at the beautiful woman sitting on the throne. In terms of charm, she wouldn't lose to Julia and Alicia. Unlike the humanoid mutant fire ants whom Aditya has killed before, the ant queen looked 100% human.

What made Aditya frown is the fact that he couldn't sense anything. He couldn't sense the queen's Aura. There wasn't any mana coming out of her body which made him feel that something was wrong here.

"I don't have much time left." Aditya snapped out of his daze hearing the words of the mutant fire ant queen. Looking at Scarlet's face, Aditya saw a bitter smile. Her eyes were full of sadness and regret.

"I am sure you cannot feel any trace of Mana from my body. The reason for this is....snap!" Just when Scarlet snapped her finger, everything in the throne chamber room began to change. Aditya took a step back in shock as he noticed the golden throne painted in red blood.

What Aditya was seeing before was nothing but an illusion that the queen had constructed using her powers.

Aditya widened his eyes once again in shock seeing the dead body of a woman whose face had become unrecognizable. Seeing the confused look on Aditya's face, the queen decided to explain. "What you're seeing is my dead body. A minute before you came here, I was killed by the very person whom I once loved and wanted to marry."

Right now Scarlet's body was floating right above the golden throne which now had been painted red with blood. Blood was still flowing out of the queen's body.

"Then how are you still alive?" Aditya for a moment doubted if the queen had really died or what? Given how good the queen is at making illusions.

Sigh!

"I am dead. What you're currently seeing is nothing but a remaining part of my soul." Upon closely looking Aditya found that the queen's body was indeed getting a little transparent. With each passing second, this transparency was increasing.

"Every magical animal, after being born receives a unique class and unique skills related to that class and that magical animal's race. For example, when I was born, I received the class Mutant ant queen. My class came with various unique skills. One of my skills is the ability to use my soul to stay in the living realm for a longer period of time.

"Currently I am burning my own soul as a form of energy to talk with you and to use the illusion magic. I am afraid in less than a minute, I will run out of soul power, and at that time, my soul will completely disappear from this world." Aditya nodded with an understanding look.

"Aditya, I don't have much time. Given what I and my children have done to the Ethereal Empire, I am sure you also hate me. To be honest, I don't like you either. But my hate for you is nothing compared to the hate I have for those people."

Aditya again frowned hearing the last part of her words. "Which people?"

"It was a big organization that is spread throughout every single continent and Empire on this planet. They call themselves the League of Black Tomb." Aditya's breathing stopped, while his heartbeat rose to hear the name of the organization. The League of Black tomb had tried to destroy the Istarin Empire by manipulating the Nepoca Kingdom, the Deep Sea palace Empire, the Nyland Kingdom, and other 14 small kingdoms to join hands and attack the Istarin Kingdom. Ever since he learned the name of the organization he has been secretly trying to learn more about this organization but so far other than knowing its name and the organization's motive to take the Crown of seven seas, he knew nothing about this organization.

Scarlet observed Aditya's reaction. Based on his shocked and angry looked, she was sure that Aditya had some past history with the organization. "As I was saying, the League of Black Tombs is after something that is being kept in the treasury of the Ethereal Empire. It was an item that was supposed to take their plans to the second phase. Though I failed to learn anything much about this item. I only know that this item is some kind of key. As I was an outer member I wasn't told or given much information on the whole mission."

'Shit!!!!' Aditya knew that it was already too late. While the whole Ethereal army was here fighting the mutant fire ant, the capital was left unprotected. It shouldn't be hard for the inner group members of the League of Black tomb to enter the capital and take that key.

"The first plan was to attack the Istarin Empire and then start a war while the inner group members would have sneaked inside the treasury and would have taken the key. But your appearance forced the league of the black tomb to change their plans. Instead of starting a war, it was decided that you, Alicia, and Noah, would be captured." This was why Ashley was madly looking for Aditya and others. Aditya was finally getting the full picture of the story.

"It looks like my time is up." By now Scarlet's entire body had become transparent. Her figure was becoming blurry.

"Wait, I have more questions that I want to ask you about the tomb of Black tomb." Aditya had tons of questions. As long as Aditya gets more information on the league of the black tomb, he can prepare himself and his empire for this organization.

"Don't worry, I have written everything that I knew about the League of Black tomb in a dairy. Along with all the treasures that the mutant fire ants had collected over the years, you can find everything in a storage ring that I have hidden right under this golden throne."

"Aditya, the reason I am giving you all of my treasures is that I want you to become strong enough to destroy the League of Black Tomb. I know that you don't have a reason to fulfill my dying request so consider all of my treasures as a reward for destroying the organization. Please be sure to kill a person named Jay for me."

Aditya nodded at Scarlet with a smile. "I also have some past differences with the organization. I will be sure to destroy them." Scarlet nodded with a happy smile.

"Thank you. If possible in my next life, I would like to be reborn as a human, not a mutant fire ant." These words were barely audible in Aditya's ears. But he still managed to hear them with his enhanced senses.

The next second, the queen's entire soul began to crack. The cracks spread all over her body. The queen looked at Aditya with a gentle smile as her soul began to shatter into millions of pieces. Those pieces then disappeared in thin air.

"So this is the end of the mutant fire ant." Looking at the dead body of Scarlet, Aditya knew that the queen must have been brutally killed by someone she knew. The person who killed her must be Jay as the queen had specifically mentioned his name.

"I can't give you a burial. But I will fulfill your last and dying request." Aditya summoned his Crimson flames. Under his watch, the Crimson flames burned the queen's entire body to ashes. As her body was burned, the golden throne also began to melt as if showing the end of the mutant fire ant queen's rule on this forest.

For the next 5 minutes, Aditya did not move from his place. He stood there in silence looking at the half-melted golden throne. For some reason, Aditya can feel the queen's sadness. The regret that she felt at the finals moment was appearing in Aditya's mind.

"In the end, everything is about interest." Aditya walked up to the golden throne. He managed to move the golden throne to find a black storage ring. Aditya wore the storage ring on his left index finger. He then put a bit of his mana inside to check the items inside the storage ring.

"She is rich." Aditya almost couldn't believe the number of things that the queen had in her storage ring. In terms of space, the queen's storage ring had more space than Aditya's ring. The ring of the queen was big enough to hold an entire island in it and would still have space.

Sigh!

"She was too rich." Aditya estimated the value of this storage ring would be above 100 billion gold coins. The storage ring had almost 25 tons of pure gold, 30 tons of silver, and almost 100 tons of unrefined iron. What shocked and excited Aditya the most was the appearance of 1,000 low-grade spirit stones." Before Aditya had only found one spirit stone from Ashley's storage ring. But the queen had 500 low-grade spirit stones. No wonder why the queen had this many 5th-order mutant fire ants.

Other than metals, the storage ring also had almost a ton of mana stones. One ton of solar stones is used as a torch or candle to light residents during the night. The storage ring also had more than ten thousand weapons and sets of armor. There were various kinds of rare magic fruits inside the storage ring as well. These rare magic fruits had various effects. Some of the magic fruits can even increase the mana reserve of a cultivator.

"Unfortunately a majority of these magic fruits are 2-star and 1-star. Only 100 of the magic fruits are 3-star. These 3-star magic fruits can be only consumed by 3rd-order cultivators in order to obtain the benefits of these magic fruits."

From the storage ring, Aditya took out a 3-star magic fruit. The fruit looked like an apple. Unlike a normal apple which was red in color, this apple was glowing in dark purple color. When Aditya held it, he was able to feel a small amount of pure mana stored inside this apple.

[Purple Magic Apple]

[Rank - 3 star]

[Description: - A unique type of magic fruit that can only be found in Heavenly Hemlock forest and Dark Woodland forest. The purple magic apple can only grow in areas that are rich in mana and has a temperature of 25 to 40º C and rainfall of more than 100 cm. Purple Magic apple trees need 25 years to grow a purple magic apple. It takes around 300 years for a purple magic apple to become a 3-star magic fruit.]

[Function 1: - The purple magic apple can only be consumed by 3rd-order cultivators. Once the magic fruit is consumed, the mana reserve of the user will be increased by [100+]. If the cultivator is near a breakthrough point then consuming the purple magic apple might help the user in breaking through. Note: - The effect of the purple magic apple fruit will work once. ]

"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+].』
