625 Chapter 625:- Istarin Empire in the Beast Continent
Huff!!! Huff.....!!!
After continuously using Crimson Wrap Flash so many times, Aditya's face now looked a little bit Pale. To make sure that they could reach the end of the desert, he had put a lot of strain and pressure on his body as well as on his brain.
"Aditya, are you alright?" Riya worriedly asked. Lilith and Sasha did not speak but clearly, both of them also looked really concerned about him.
They knew that Aditya easily managed himself in that sticky situation. But he did not abandon them to the enemies of 300 million. Instead, even though it put a lot of strain and pressure on his mind and body, he took Riya, Sasha, and Lilith with them.
Lilith felt bitter. This was the first time in her life she was feeling this useless. Originally she and Sasha came with Aditya and Riya so that both of them could help them out but who would have thought that they would end up becoming his liabilities?
This part of The Graveyard of Sand Dunes desert wasn't empty. There weren't any Magic animals or any Empire's troops here. Even the closest Magic Animals from their location was about 3 km away.
"Yeah....!!! I am fine....!!!" Aditya said as he looked back for a second before looking in front.
At that moment, Riya also felt something evil and hideous but before she could fully what she felt that feeling was gone. She looked confused for a second before she eventually forgot about it.
"The Lionrock City should be 10 km away. You three head there and use the teleportation array to return to the Dragon Palace. By now Julia and Alicia along with Lara should have returned to Dragon Palace."
But his words immediately caught their attention. "Are you not coming with us?" Sasha bit her lips and asked.
Although she was the Goddess of Lust, even she wasn't confident about fighting this many enemies. She did not think that even Aditya was capable of doing that either.
"I am afraid, I can't....!!!" Aditya said while looking back. Even if he had ignored that Hydra and left it to be dealt with by others, there was also another man that he needed to take care of. If he missed this chance today, then he would have one more powerful enemy who would be watching over him and his Empire from the shadows.
"Take with this you." Aditya handed the storage container in which the Dragon grass was stored.
"Let me come with you. Even though I might be not able to help you much I still can kill some enemies." By killing enemies, Lilith meant that she could at least take out a few millions of lives before she ran out of Mana or something eventually killed her.
At this moment, she was ready to give up her life. 'I have lived a long and fulfilling life anyway. I wouldn't mind dying fighting so many enemies.' Thinking of all the good times that Lilith had since her daughter was born and after meeting Aditya, she couldn't help but smile.
'Though my regret would be not to live long enough to see what kind of life my daughter and my love and my family would have.' Lilith thought in her head.
Riya and Sasha were also about to say the same but Lilith stopped them. "You two could go back to the Lionrock city. With the two of your powers, I am sure nothing will be able to stop you two from reaching Lionrock City."
Sasha and Riya did not find the words to continue. Both of them knew the importance of the Dragon Grass. They also knew the dangers that Aditya went through just to get the Dragon grass under the watch of over 300 million.
"Lilith, you're not coming with me." Before Lilith could react, Aditya tightly hugged her. This left her looking stunned. Feeling his warm gentle hug made her feel really warm.
"You think I can't guess what you're thinking...!!!" Aditya whispered into her right ear.
"How did you....!!!" She was surprised.
If this had woman gone with her plan and had met her end or was seriously injured on the battlefield, then this world would have seen the true wrath of the Dragon Monarch.
"You're not worthless, Lilith. So please stop having such thoughts." Those were the most gentle and warm words Lilith had heard in years. These two simple sentences carried a deep meaning that only she was able to understand.
He then looked at her eyes and continued. "You're going with them. Besides, the journey to the Lionrock City isn't going to be easy either." Saying that Aditya looked into the distance. He could see horses, troops, and finally a giant red and black flag.
Lilith took the Dragon Grass from Aditya. She carefully put it in her storage ring.
"Take care.....!!! Reinforcements will come soon." Saying that Aditya vanished using Crimson Wrap flash.
Scene change to Dragon Palace____
By reinforcements, Aditya was talking about the people who have been watching everything from the Dragon Palace.
In the living room of the Dragon Palace, everyone watched as Aditya hugged Lilith who was in disguise before he vanished away.
Till now, everyone has been looking tense. They have been worried about the safety of their Emperor and their future Emperessess.
Spencer suddenly stood up in front of all 7 generals of the Istarin Empire. "You all have 5 minutes to gather your army."
"Everyone Prepare yourselves, this world is going to see the Istarin Empire in the Beast Continent."
Hearing these words, Nathan smirked under his mask.
'Finally.....!! It's about time.' Nathan has been waiting for this moment. He and his army have been ready for this moment. All they were waiting for was just their command.
Josh left the living room while grinning like a beast.
Amber looked slightly bit conflicted seeing Aditya hugging Lilith. This whole time she had been avoiding Aditya because of what happened in the past between them. She knew that she had no right to complain or feel jealous of Lilith when she was Aditya's rightful wife. Unlike her, she was brave enough to openly show her feelings to Aditya.
"Big brother Spencer, I am also going." Leo bravely stood up to go to the battlefield.
Spencer looked at Leo before nodding his head. Leo was stronger than 90% of most Istarin troops. 'Since he wants to become the strongest General of the Istarin Empire, this might be a good learning experience for him.' Spencer thought in his mind.
"Alright."
Little Clara hugged the Half dragon wolf pet Skye and silently watched as almost left the living room.
Spencer's future wife patted Clara's head and said in a loving tone. "Don't worry, everyone is going to be fine." Though she was also worried in her heart. This was the first time she saw her husband heading to the battlefield.
Spencer wasn't the type who would go to the battlefield.
Scene change to Whitfrost City____
"I am going to the Beast Continent." Sylvie had seen enough of the chaos. She had recently heard that the Istarin Empire had claimed several cities in the Central region of the Beast continent.
Obviously, when she heard from Alicia that they all had gone to the Beast Continent, she began paying more attention to the events taking place in the Beast Continent. And this is how she knew that the Istarin Empire had taken over 6 to 7 cities in the central region alone.
Judging by the direction that Aditya, Riya, Sasha, and Lilith were heading, she was 100% confident that they were going toward Lionrock City.
'If I head to the Lionrock city I would be able to meet them. And I also provide help if needed.' Sylvie was going alone. Even if she wanted to she could not bring the army of the White Lotus guild as doing this would affect the reputation of the white Lotus guild.
"Sylvie, wait...!!!"
"I am coming as well." Noah was about to go when Ronnie held his shoulder and stopped him.
"You are not going, I am going in your place." Even though Noah had become the Emperor, he did not dare to say no to his father's words because of the amount of respect fear, and love that he had for his father.
"I will also take the Ethereal Empire's army with me. The Ethereal Empire will always stand with the Istarin Empire."
Meanwhile, the rest of the family members just did nothing to stop Ronnie. In fact, they would have insisted on sending the Ethereal Empire's army to help Aditya.
Scene change_____
Sasha, Riya, and Liilth found their path was being blocked by an army of around half a million troops. It wasn't the quantity of the troops that made them stop. If it was all about quantity, then the two goddesses and one Saint would have annihilated everything in there but without even needing to stop and think for a second.
What made them stop were the ones who were leading the half-million troops. In front of them, there were 8 Peak 5th-
order human cultivators and 9 Peak Beast-kin cultivators.
"We know that you have the Dragon Grass with us. Hand us the Dragon Grass and your lives will be spared." Said the Peak 5th-
order Lion-kin who was standing in the air.
Hearing the man's arrogant words, Sasha and Riya both simultaneously rolled their eyes.
'They seriously have some problem with their heads.' Sasha thought.
Just because Aditya left them alone here did not mean that they were weak. Aditya purposely left them alive because he knew that his women were more than capable enough to take care of them.
"You three have two choices....!!!"
Lilith interrupted him and said. "You chose the choice that involves killing you all. As for the other choice, you can save it for later; only if you all are left alive after this."
The man's expression slightly changed upon hearing his face. He did not expect to be embarrassed in front of his subordinates.
"If you have an army, then we have the Goddess of Nature with us." Sasha looked at Riya and nodded her head. Riya also nodded her head back.
'Oh my....!! I never expected these two to cooperate. If Aditya was here, then he would have been proud. He might even have shed a tear or two.' Lilith thought as she watched Riya's whole body be surrounded by a light green Aura.
A few seconds passed but nothing happened. When the commander was about to give command for his army to attack, at that moment, from within the sandy ground, grey color roots came out.
These grey roots came out and wrapped themselves around the legs of half a million soldiers.
"Ah....!!"
"What the hell are those?"
"I can't free myself."
"My sword doesn't seem to be working against these grey roots."
"What did you do to my soldiers?" The enemy commander asked with a dark face.
At that moment Riya's eyes were glowing green.
"This is one of my unique skills called Life Force Transference."
"Now watch as your precious troops are drained of their life force," Riya said in a cold tone. Although Riya is a very kind and caring Goddess when someone tries to harm her or harm the people that she cares about, she won't think twice before harming them.
She wasn't some naive young girl who believed that everything in this world could be solved without violence. Violence was necessary to deal with certain things. For example, right now violence is necessary.
Ah.....!!!
Suddenly all of the troops began to scream loudly as their life forces were begin sucked away. Their bodies started becoming skinny rapidly. In the next few seconds, their bodies withered, and eventually, the soldiers started becoming withered corpses.
However, just a few seconds later, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Riya as if he had just teleported.
"Do you think that I am going to let you continue?" He drove his dagger aiming directly towards her heart.
To be continued.....!!!
