Chapter 174

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!

『Storm Summoner』

『3rd-order Innate skill』

『Description: - The user can summon storm whenever he wishes.』

『Function 1: - To activate this skill it will consume [500+] mana. While to keep this skill running, it will consume [5+] mana per second. The more area the storm covers that more mana it will consume per second.

Function 2: - The user can freely control the lightning that runs freely in the storm clouds and use the lightnings to attack your enemies.』

Suddenly the wind became stronger. More and more dark clouds began covering the blue clear. In less than 10 seconds the entire outer region of the Heavenly Hemlock forest darkened because of dark clouds.

Alicia, Noah, Nora, Sylvie, and other raised their heads to look up. All the mutant fire ants also stopped for a second. Everyone noticed the crimson lightning that was swimming in the dark clouds was getting stronger.

Boom!

Suddenly without any warning a strong bolt of crimson lightning fell from the clouds. The crimson lightning strike was extremely fast.

When the dust settled, everyone saw the dead body of a few 4th-order and 3rd-order mutant fire ants. And just like that, the storm started. Heavy rain started pouring from the sky. But for some reason, the rain water did not affect the magma that Aditya had created. The northern winds also became stronger. Occasionally here and there, Crimson lightning would fell from the clouds and strike the 4th-order mutant fire ants.

Booom!

Crack!

Booom!

As soon as the storm started, Aditya also received a few messages from the system.

『Ding! The passive power of the Storm Marshall class has been activated because of the storm.』

『Ding! The host's mana has been increased by 50%』

『Ding! The power of lightning and wind types attacks has been increased by 50%.』

『Ding! The host's has gained [300+] passive boost in agility.』

This was the boost Aditya would receive when there was storm. After reaching 3rd-order, Aditya's all three classes also have gotten powerful.

『Ding! Second function of the Passive skill storm flight has been activated.』

『Ding! The agility of the user has been increased by [200+].』

Whenever any Peak 4th-order powerful mutant fire ant crossed the 20 meters mark and tried to attack the expedition team, terrifying bolts of crimson lightning would descend from the clouds and would instantly kill the mutant fire ants. This was Aditya's way of reducing the burden on everyone else and also to make sure that everyone is protected while he is away.

Aditya quickly opened the system and checked just how much his stats have improved under the effect of Storm Summon, Crimson Lightning Dash, Lightning armor, Storm Marshall class, and Soul Blaze skills. This was the first time ever since he became a 3rd-order cultivator, Aditya was forced to use this many skills at once.

『_Strength: - 361 [45% increase]→ 668

_Speed: - 603 + [100] [45% increase]→ 2034

_Stamina: - 336 [45% increase]→ 487

_Health: - 336 [45% increase]→ 487

_Mana: - 3,901 [45%+50% increase]→ 7606

_Free stats: - 0』

The Dragon Monarch took a deep breath as the Crimson lightning that had surrounded his body flickered excited as if resonating with Aditya's emotions. Aditya's agility and Mana has increased to the point where he can kill a 5th-order cultivator very easily.

Swoosh!

The next second Aditya disappeared once again. This time Aditya moved so fast that he had become invisible in the eyes of his enemies and his allies. The only thing that the mutant fire ants felt before dying was a strong gust of wind.

Booom!

Noah's face also had started to turn pale as his mana was rapidly being depleted. He is not sure how long he can hold on at this rate.

Huff! Huff!

"Brother are you alright?" Alicia worriedly stared at her brother.

Noah forced a smile on his face as he looked at his sister with endless love and kindness. "My dear sister, I won't be dying anytime soon." Alicia noticed that a deep cut on Noah's left shoulder. It seems he has gotten injured while trying to kill a beginner 4th-order.

"Your Highness, watch you." Suddenly one of the elite soldiers shouted. Both Noah and Alicia looked up at the same time. Both brother and sister's eyes widened in shock and in despair as they saw 9 meters away from them, there were more than hundreds of mutant fire ants attacking them from the air. The strength of these mutant fire ants were 4th-order. There is no way that Noah or any of the elite four soldiers can kill this many mutant fire ants. Even Sylvie and Nora would have a difficult time killing all the mutant fire mutants before the ants reaches them.

However their despair was far from coming to them. As everyone from the expedition team heard a loud cracking sound. When Noah blinked his eyes and reopened them, what he saw blew his mind. It takes less than a second to blink, yet in that time something that moved so fast that in less than a second it was able to kill more than hundreds of 4th-order mutant fire ants that was 9 meters away from their heads.

"What was that?" Noah asked even though deep down he knew the answer.

Sylvie and Nora, both 5th-order cultivators also stopped and stared at each other in deep shock. Right now Aditya moved so fast that even they couldn't see him.

"Don't let your guard down. I will deal with the mutant fire ants that are attacking from the sky. You all deal with other ones." Aditya did not stop when he spoke. Everyone felt motivated after hearing Aditya's words.

Meanwhile, Aditya moved as if he was teleporting throughout the battlefield. The Crimson Monarch had not even unleashed his full powers, yet the the enemy couldn't stop him. Each second Aditya was covering a distance of 556 meters. Each second he was able to kill more than a few hundred to five hundred mutant fire ants. At this moment Aditya had truly become a killing machine that cannot be stopped by anyone.

Not more than 10 minutes passed since the whole battle started, Aditya's killing count had reached 140,000 thousand. Despite being this huge number of mutant fire ants, the mutant fire ants number seems to end.

With the power of his sword attacks being increased by [30%], Aditya was cutting even the Peak 4th-order mutant fire ants bodies smoother than cutting butter with a knife.

[Weapon Grandmaster

『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 Beginner 4th-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 Beginner 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....』

,m The constant messages from the system was giving Aditya a headache and also making him feel annoyed. Unfortunately there are no function to turn of the system messages. Aditya could only try his best to avoid these messages and focus on butchering the mutant fire ants.

"What type of mysterious and heaven defying existent is he?" Nora started the dead bodies that were lying beside her. She and Sylvie were struggling to protect everyone while killing the mutant fire ants. But as soon as a Crimson light along with a strong gust of wind blew past them, all the mutant fire ants around them was dead. Now Sylvie, Nora, Noah, Alicia and other expedition teams will have to wait as for the mutant fire ants to come.

Nora has never seen or heard of a person that can accomplish something like this. She was now beginning to think that not even the Goddess of war can stop this monster.

"Judging this man using common standard is basically insulting him." Sylvie replied while looking into the distance. Her eyes tried to follow the Crimson light that was killing mutant fire ants at an insane speed.

Somewhere deep down Sylvie was beginning to feel jealous of her best friend. If she had found Aditya, then she would done anything to make him fall for her.

Meanwhile Nora was rubbing her thighs together while looking at the direction of the crimson light. Being protected such a capable men had turned on the beginner 5th-order Succubus. The Succubus was trying her best to not ruin her image in front of her everyone. Every Succubus, by instinct sought out the strongest and most capable partner. Aditya has made Nora feel that only he was worthy to become her partner.

"Sylvie, Aditya is single, right?" Sylvie did not reply. She instantly stared at Nora. Deep down she sighed while giving a pitiful look to the Succubus. 'Horny Succubus, If I Aditya was single then I would have been the first to take him. Unfortunately for you and also me, our lady has beat us in the race.'

Sylvie then looked at Alicia. The goddess of wealth of course has heard Nora's words. Alicia's eyes turned cold. Her cold frost-like stare made Sylvie and Nora both shiver in fear. "Don't have any ideas for Aditya."

Meanwhile, others couldn't help but curse in their hearts. These ladies were not bothered about the life-threatening danger that they were in instead these ladies were discussing if Aditya was single or not.

Meanwhile, Aditya was around 2000 meters far away, the dragon Monarch had cleared every mutant fire ant within 2000 meters range. After getting the boost in his physical stats, Aditya was slowly pushing the mutant fire ants so that his others can take it easy.

『Soul Blaze: - Time remaining 6 minutes 02 seconds 』

Aditya was pushing himself without caring about his stamina. He knew that once the boost from Soul blaze died down, his stamina would instantly drop which would leave him exhausted which is not something Aditya wanted to see happening. As he moved in circle, he tried to sense if there was any 5th-order mutant fire ants. Fortunately luck seems to be on his side today as so far Aditya did not met even a single 5th-order powerhouse.

『Soul Blaze: - Time remaining 5 minutes 02 seconds』

『Soul Blaze: - Time remaining 4 minutes 02 seconds』

『Soul Blaze: - Time remaining 3 minutes 02 seconds』

『Soul Blaze: - Time remaining 2 minutes 02 seconds』

『Soul Blaze: - Time remaining 1 minute 02 seconds』

『Soul Blaze: - Time remaining 34 seconds』

Slowly but surely 10 minutes passed, and the boost from the soul blaze was about to end. By now every mutant fire ant within 10,000 meters has been slain by Aditya.

『Ding! The passive boost in stats that the host got from Soul Blaze skill has now ended.』

Suddenly Aditya's speed dropped. He stopped after killing the last mutant fire ants. A wave of exhaustion covered his body. There was a price to be paid for moving at such super speed. Without fuel even if the engine has the capacity to move at the speed of sound, the car won't move. Aditya was moving super fast meaning that his stamina was being consumed at a frightening speed. Aditya's stamina was only 336 which was increased to 487 after getting a 50% boost from his skill Soul Blaze. Now that the boost is lost, Aditya's stats also dropped.

"I think I have come too far. I should head back." After putting a stamina recovery pill in his mouth, Aditya turned around to leave. But just when he turned around, he felt an Aura that immediately turned his face pale.
