"Now, we can talk." Ivan took a step back in fear of hearing those words. However, Aditya appeared behind Ivan and grabbed his neck which prevented him from moving.
"This is for killing Myra?" Aditya gathered Mana in his right fist and punched the area right above Ivan's chest.
Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
With everything Ivan got, he let out a painful roar before coughing out a huge amount of blood from his mouth. Right Ivan was an so much pain that he felt like committing suicide. He felt a quick death would be a thousand times better than this pain that seems to be breaking his mind.
However, Aditya wasn't going to let this happen. Aditya pressured Ivan's entire body using his cultivation which made him unable to move anymore. Ivan couldn't even move his limbs. He was having difficulty breathing as well.
Taking opportunity of this moment, Aditya also took away Ivan's storage ring. He can check what sort of thing Ivan had in his storage ring. And Aditya was not disappointed at all. In fact, he was more shocked than ever.
"You must have gotten all these spirit stones when you entered the Forbidden Treasure Realm. Good job. With all these spirit stones, I am now one step closer to building the Dragon Palace." Ivan's mind was in too much pain to process what Aditya just said.
While holding Ivan's neck with his right hand, Aditya took out a slave collar from his storage ring. This wasn't some ordinary slave collar. This collar was enchanted with 3-star runes by Aditya himself. "If possible I would have loved to keep your teammates alive unfortunately I only have two hands. Fear not, Mr. Ivan. I won't kill you nor I will ask you anything about The League of Black Tomb. You will be rooting in my prison. I won't allow you to die till I have obtained every bit of information from your head."
Aditya knew from Scarlet that every member of The League of Black Tomb had to sign a contract of non-disclosure before they become an actual member of the organization. Although Aditya does not know what kind of contract Ivan signed with The League of Black Tomb, Aditya is confident that as long as he can become a 5-star runemaster, he can break the contract that is binding Ivan's soul and make him speak of the organization.
If the contract was forged by a 4-star runemaster then Aditya won't have to wait too long as it won't take him too long to become a 4-star runemaster.
"From now on you will be my prisoner and my source of information." For people like Ivan, Aditya didn't have a shred of mercy. Even if he can't obtain any information about the organization from Ivan, Aditya still can torture him in various ways. Aditya can also turn this man into his dragonian but Aditya wasn't too keen on doing that.
At the same time, the golden doors started to close down. Aditya looked to find the massive golden doors closing down. Just before the golden doors can close down, a figure managed to come out from the forbidden realm in time.
The figure's body and face were covered in a hood and in a black cloak. From what Aditya can tell, this man is a core member of The League of Black Tomb and also the leader of this group.
Click!
With a click sound, the doors of the golden gates had been closed forever. Now that the last remaining key of the golden doors has been used up, the forbidden treasure land was gone forever. No one in this world can open these golden doors without the key.
"To think you would actually manage to kill 4 Peak 5th-order cultivators and still remained full of energy, I have to say that you're an extraordinary man Aditya." Aditya didn't know if he should feel happy for being complimented by his enemy.
"Thank you for the compliment I guess." Aditya silently controlled his mana to get ready to attack this man. Today no matter what happens, he must kill this man. Aditya didn't want to let The League of Black Tomb succeed in obtaining the pearl.
The man looked at the crown that was on Aditya's head before looking at Aditya. "Dragon King, the crown of Seven seas belongs to The League of Black Tomb. Sooner or later, we will eventually get this back on our hands."
"You and your organization are free to try. I swear my name of heaven, I will destroy each and every single one of you."
"Hahaha! That's a bold statement, Dragon King. For now, we will let you enjoy the taste of winning." The meaning behind the man's words is that the organization was not done with Aditya and the Istarin Empire.
"This concludes our little meeting. I will see you soon Dragon King." Just as the man was about to leave, A huge wave of Crimson flame surrounded him on all sides.
"I never said you can leave." The smile on Simon's face disappeared. At this moment his cultivation has been lowered to Peak 5th-order. Even if he wanted to take on Aditya, he knew full well that he would lose. The death of four Peak 5th-order cultivators has made Simon see how powerful Aditya was.
"Hahaha! Dragon King, that was a nice try but unfortunately, you can never stop me." Simon took out a teleportation crystal from his storage ring. Aditya immediately recognized this teleportation crystal. It's one that Sylvie had used to make them teleport when he had been badly injured by Ashley.
"Not too fast." Just as Simon crushed the teleportation crystal, Aditya activated one of his skills that he has been saving up for this guy.
Crimson Lightning Blink!
Simon felt time slow down. He widened his eyes seeing Aditya's entire body becoming Crimson lightning. The Crimson lightning then became 7 bolts of Crimson lightning. All of those bolts of Crimson lightning started heading in Simon's direction at a rapid. While Ivan started to fall from the sky as Aditya was no longer holding his neck.
Simon was shocked. His heart beat in fear. The whole situation wasn't normal at all. Before the teleportation circle would be fully activated, 7 bolts of crimson lightning were in front of Simon.
Simon's face turned pale as he realized this attack could seriously harm him. At this moment Simon couldn't even react as his cultivation was lowered to Peak 5th-order and there is no way a Peak 5th-order cultivator could dodge something this fast.
Even a beginner 6th-order cultivator would have a difficult time dodging something like this.
Boooooom!!!!!
The cloak that Simon was instantly torn to shreds as he was sent flying by the attack. Under his cloak, Simon had worn full body armor. Even the full body armor has cracked under such a powerful attack.
More than 1000 meters away, Simon finally managed to stop his body while coughing out a mouthful of blood.
Simon somehow opened his eyes to find that Aditya was coming after him. Simon was missing his right arm and a large amount of blood was gushing out of his right shoulder. "Bastard. Dragon Emperor, I won't forget this humiliation. Just wait" Saying that Simon took out a second teleportation crystal and crushed it while angrily looking at Aditya.
Aditya could do nothing but watch as Simon escaped. "Who would have thought that he would have a second storage ring?" The storage ring on Simon's left arm was hidden and Aditya wasn't able to see it because his body was covered under a cloak. Aditya aimed for Simon's storage that was on his right hand. Aditya took a gamble and ended up failing. With a bolt of crimson lightning, Aditya managed to tear off his entire right arm. Simon's right arm was in Aditya's hand.
Aditya hurriedly checked to see if pearl was inside this storage.
Sigh!
"I should have aimed for his left arm instead." Aditya then remembered about his prisoner. Aditya hurriedly got down and found Ivan floating on the ocean.
Aditya relaxed seeing that Ivan was still alive. Even if Aditya had destroyed Ivan's mana heart, Ivan still had the body of a Peak 5th-order cultivator which was many times stronger than the body of a normal human. "I guess I was worried for nothing. It's time to go home and deal with other matters." Aditya also had to remove the poison from his body.
Meanwhile,
Inside the Forbidden Treasure Land, The Great Sage Snake who just struck the defeating blow to the Titan realized that the golden gates were closing.
"No...." The Great Sage Snake tried to move at fast as he can to escape the forbidden land. Even though this place was full of treasure, the Great Sage snake didn't want to be locked as another prisoner for eternity.
Just as the Great Sage Snake started flying, a strong arm grabbed him from behind and prevented the snake form from moving.
"Hehe! We can stay in this place together. Finally, I won't be lonely anymore." The Great Sage Snake's eyes were full of despair as he watched the golden gates close down.
Really Thank you very much to all those who sends support with valuable golden tickets. I hope we can keep it up!!!
