Dragon Monarch System-Novel

[My dead Scarlet, please take care of yourself. You have fulfilled your purpose. We might meet someday, that is if you managed to live. Hehe!] Saying that the voice disconnected.

The guardian mutant fire ants that were standing behind the queen were expecting the queen to have a strong reaction, however, contrary to what they had expected, the queen simply closed her eyes while massaging her forehead with her right hand.

Time continued to pass. Seconds turned into minutes. Seeing the queen in deep thought the guards looked at each other, not knowing what they should do in these situations. While it was true that the mutant fire ants were intelligent, when it came to emotional aspects, they were lacking a lot. Other than their queen and a few other 5th-order mutant fire ants, no one else from the mutant fire ant colony had ever visited the human cities in disguise.

After almost 10 minutes of silence, Scarlet finally opened her eyes and showed a bitter smile. She was in a stage where the option of retreating or escaping had been erased. Knowing the existence of the Peak 5th-order cultivator that the Ethereal Empire had, even if the queen tried to run away, Ronan would be easily able to sense her Aura and catch her.

"Since I am going to die, I will also drag you and the organization with me." The queen bought out a diary from her storage ring and then began to write something in human language which she had learned after visiting human cities in disguise before.

Battlefield,

The situation on the battlefield was very cruel and bloody. It was possible to smell blood and iron even ten thousand meters away. At first glance, it looked like the Ethereal Empire's troops were being pushed back but in reality, the situation was way more complicated than that. While the mutant fire ants' army was made up of more than 10,000,000 million ants, the ants lacked something which every Ethereal soldier had been taught.

While the ants randomly attacked anyone they saw in front of them, the soldiers stayed in their formation and continued to fight back without losing their ground. The mages were at the back with siege weapons. While mages continuously launched powerful magical spells at the mutant fire ants, the siege weapons launched powerful strikes capable of killing 100 3rd-order mutant fire ants with a single shot.

Being the strongest Empire of the Westnia continent, The Ethereal Empire had one of the best siege weapons in the whole continent. Each cannon was powerful enough to even kill a Peak 4th-order mutant fire ant with a single shot. And this time, the Emperor had bought one hundred thousand cannons, Ballistas, Siege Towers, and Trebuchets for this war. While the cannons were undoubtfully the strongest among the other siege weapons.

Wooden siege towers were tall constructions that could fit many men inside. They could provide crossbowmen and archers with a higher (and therefore better) position to shoot from. A trebuchet is a type of catapult that uses a long arm to throw a projectile. Each projectile was powerful as a missile. The projectiles were made from a special metal that is found in volcanic regions. After reaching a certain speed limit and upon colliding with an object or living being, the metal would explode. The same metal was also used in Ballista, however, in terms of destruction powers, the trebuchet comes at the top after magic cannons.

Although the Ethereal Empire hasn't been to any war for a few decades now, Ronnie had made sure to continuously strengthen the Ethereal Empire's military. Right now, each soldier had a 2-star armor set, weapon, and healing potions with them.

While the soldiers fought the mutant fire ants, the 4th-order mutant ants were being killed by the Emperor, all the remaining elite soldiers, and Ronan. All these things made the Ethereal army very strong and durable. The only thing that was making things difficult for the ethereal army was the ant's annoying ability to fly.

On the other side,

The sunny blue Azure sky suddenly started to darken as dark clouds began to gather. This happened in less than 10 seconds. Eventually, everyone stopped fighting and looked up, not understanding how the weather was changing this fast. Some of the strong Peak 4th-order mutant fire ants seem to have felt the change.

On the sky, Alicia and Noah's father, the Emperor stopped after killing hundreds of 3rd-order mutant fire ants with his White Nova blast attack and looked at the sky with a frown. "What is happening?" As far as the Emperor knew, no one in his military had the power to affect the weather. Unless...

"It's Aditya." Ronnie's eyes lit up as he started sensing Aditya's Aura around 25 km away. Aditya was approaching from the north. Since Aditya was here, Ronnie guessed that his daughter and his son must have left the Heavenly Hemlock forest.

On the other side,

Aditya used [500+] of his mana to use one of his skills that he never used before. This was the skill that Aditya always wanted to use but never found the perfect opportunity to use it.

Acid Rain!

『Ding! The host has summoned a storm.』

『Ding! Passive powers of the host's Storm Marshall class now will come into effect. The host's mana reserve has been increased by 50%. The host's lightning and wind type attack powers has been increased by 50%, The host has gained [300+] agility stats.』

『Ding! The passive skill Acid Rain has been activated.』

『Acid Rain』

『3rd-order』

『Description: - Another special skill that was learned because of having Storm Marshall class. The skill gives the user the ability to manipulate the weather to a certain extent.』

『Function 1: - By exhausting [500+] mana, the user can summon powerful acid rain that can kill even a Peak 3rd-order. The cultivators whose cultivation is one order high than the host's cultivation have a 50% chance of not getting hurt by this acid rain. The power of acid rain decrease with high-order beings. For every 100-meter area, [50+] mana is required.

Function 2: - The host can control the size, power, and intensity of the acid rain.

Function 3: - By consuming [500+], the host can also summon normal rain.』

Aditya looked at the dark clouds which had covered over 1000 meters of the sky. Aditya wasn't satisfied yet. He invested another [1000+] mana in the attack to make the dark clouds expand. In the next few seconds, the dark clouds started expanding. Now over 3000 meters of the sky was covered in dark clouds. Aditya's face became pale from the loss of his mana. Fortunately had activated the Storm Manipulation skill which had increased his current mana to [5,851+]

The mutant fire ants stopped paying attention to the dark clouds that were continuously expanding. Even if it started to rain, it's not like they anything will happen to them. The southwest part of the sky was practically covered with millions of mutant fire ants. All these ants were flying. Under the queen's order, these ants were now planning on attacking from the sky. Scarlet wanted to leave a big scar on the Ethereal Empire's army even if it would mean the cost of her own children.

pitter-patter!

A few green raindrops fall from the sky. These green raindrops happened to fall on the body of a beginner 3rd-order mutant fire ant. As soon as the green raindrops fall on the ant's body, the ant's entire body jerked up as if the ant has been shocked by electricity. The place where the raindrops fell, started burning.

In the next few seconds, millions of green raindrops began falling from the sky. In less than 5 seconds, an area of 3000 meters has been covered with green rainfall. Each green rain drop was very lethal for the mutant fire ants. The ant's hard red scale was melted like butter and their flesh was burned upon contact.

From the sky, Ronan and Ronnie, both of them stopped killing the mutant fire ants and looked at the scene in deep shock. Ronan and Ronnie noticed that the green rain water was instantly killing any plant or tree or insect that came in its path. In a few seconds, thousands of 1st-order and second-order mutant fire ants died. These ants didn't even have the slightest bit of resistance against the Acid rain.

While the 3rd-order ants were able to survive for a few seconds, eventually they also died. In less than 5 seconds, all the mutant fire ants started running here and there; they started to escape this hellish rain. Even the Mid 5th-order powerful mutant fire ant queen, lost her control over her children.

While Aditya stood under the green rain but nothing happened to him. This was because he was totally immune to his own attack. The acid rain won't harm him without his will. Aditya was enjoying the massive number of experience points that he was getting each second.

"I feel like I am making a fortune."

『Ding! You have killed a 1st-order mutant fire ant. You have gained experience points.』

『Ding! You have killed a Peak 1st-order mutant fire ant. You have gained experience points.』

『Ding! You have killed a Peak 2nd-order mutant fire ant. You have gained experience points.』

『Ding! You have killed a Peak 3rd-order mutant fire ant. You have gained experience points.』

『Ding! You have killed a Mid phase 3rd-order mutant fire ant. You have gained experience points.』

『Ding! You have killed a Mid phase 2nd-order mutant fire ant. You have gained experience points.』

『Ding! You have killed a Mid phase 1st-order mutant fire ant. You have gained experience points.』

『Ding! Your experience points have been saved for future use.』

To make matters even worse for the mutant fire ants, Aditya was able to move the dark clouds in any direction that he wished. Meaning even if the mutant fire ants tried to run, it was useless.

"What type of power is that?" Ronan and Ronnie both noticed that the acid rain did not harm them. However, the rain was harming the 4th-order mutant fire ants.

"Everyone, stay back. Do not come near this acid rain." Ronnie's voice was enhanced with mana and every Ethereal Empire's troop was able to hear his words.
