Ruler's Awakening: Inheritor of the SSS-Rank Dimensional Talent

Even so, Aaron doesn't trust Bella easily. There are many manipulative people in this world, they keep their own intentions with specific purposes.

Dark Pillar Tower, a place where life and death were determined through power. Power can be obtained from ourselves or others. To use the other person's power, one way was to negotiate and use tricks.

"Alright. Thank you for the information," Aaron replied, standing up from his seat.

Aerith did the same. After finishing their drinks, the two stepped out of the city guild office. Aerith naturally asked about Aaron's purpose, responding to the information passed on by Bella.

Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire

"To confirm the truth of that information, then we have to recon," said Aaron.

"Recon?" asked Aerith, confused.

Aaron nodded. He said that he couldn't tell Aerith yet because they were both in a public place - the main street of the district. He would only tell her when he reached his destination.

They had gone quite a distance from the center of the Sky Sword district, aiming for the Shadow Ruler's base. However, that was not their destination. There was a small inn in the village where the Shadow Ruler had set up their base.

The inn had only one floor and had only 8 bedrooms. Even so, they took good care of the place. The furniture was replaced with the latest models and styles, the cleanliness was maintained, the wall paint was spotless and smooth with cool colors.

The reason Aaron chose the inn was because it was close to the Shadow Ruler's base, about 800m away.

Conducting surveillance from the inn could be the best option without having to fear being discovered by the Night Liberators.

Aaron rented a room, Aerith was in the same room as Aaron. Now, the preparations were ready, all that remained was for them to detect the presence of suspicious magic fluctuations.@@novelbin@@

"If the Night Liberators really intend to conduct surveillance on the Shadow Ruler, then they will place their people in this village," Aaron revealed.

"I see, in that way, we'll easily detect their presence," Aerith explained.

Aaron nodded. Aerith's reasoning was correct, they only needed to discover the existence of magic fluctuations that were different from the usual, which felt unfamiliar and stronger than the average ability of the Shadow Ruler's members.

Through his telepathic ability, Aaron had already informed Lewis about what happened. Lewis talked about how he could help, but Aaron refused.

Aside from the fact that Lewis had another match tomorrow, Aaron also didn't want to show that the Shadow Ruler was part of Aaron. That would only make things worse.

Lewis slowly understood Aaron's point. He entrusted everything to Aaron and hoped they could solve the problems that were happening.

Aaron refocused on his surveillance. He sat cross-legged with Aerith helping him. The aura of magic emanated strongly between the two, purple magic began to gather in Aaron's hands.

The man pointed two fingers of his right hand towards the sky, sending a ball of magic upwards and exploding with a steady boom.

"With this, they will be easy to recognize."

Time went on, the activities of the people still continued without being disturbed by the purple magic energy that Aaron appeared, because people with abilities below the Venerable Sage would not be able to see the rain of purple magic particles.

The effect was not bad on health, the particles only served as the easiest sensor to detect the presence of other mages in the area around the Shadow Ruler.

The sun set, the lights were turned on, lanterns were set up in front of their shops, people filled the main street of the Sky Sword district to enjoy their time with their families or loved ones.

When the urban areas were filled with people, the rural areas were deserted. Aaron could feel how quiet the place was, it was so quiet that even the scraping of wooden branches against the walls of the house could be clearly heard.

Aerith sat on the bed in the room, wearing sleeping pajamas while holding a bottle of white wine. Between red and white wine, Aerith preferred the white; it was sweet rather than bitter.

"Maybe that bitch's words are a lie. I don't feel anyone approaching," said Aerith, chugging the wine straight from the bottle.

It was nine o'clock in the evening. Since the sun had set and the villagers had gone to the city district to have fun, there was no sign of the mages from the Night Liberators coming to do reconnaissance.

"If she's lying, why would she lie to me? Is she looking to die?" Aaron asked, turning his head after peeking through the closed window curtains.

"You're handsome, Aaron. She's probably talking nonsense just to get your attention," Aerith replied, continuing to enjoy the white wine ignoring Aaron's attitude.

Aaron fell silent, seeing that no one had come to the Shadow Ruler's base area. The man sighed softly, closing the curtains perfectly as he stepped closer to the bed in the room.

He picked up a small glass and held it out before him. Aerith smiled, she poured the white wine to Aaron so that he could enjoy it as well.

"There's Lewis and Eloise here anyway, the Night Liberators won't be able to do anything about Lewis' abilities now," Aerith said, trying to ease Aaron's uncertain worries.

Aaron chuckled. He really didn't understand what was happening to him. He was thinking too much about insignificant things that even ignored the actual facts. A small example was the existence of the Shadow Ruler.

There was Lewis who was a mage of Great Wizard level, his ability exceeded the level of the three leaders of the three major groups on this floor. Lewis should easily be able to solve problems like this.

Then there was Eloise, the ruler of the 25th Sky Sword. She would not allow the Night Liberators to cause trouble and damage in her territory, let alone threaten the Shadow Ruler. Eloise would be the group's second protector.

If the situation worsened, Aaron could return by using his Dark Dimensional Portal ability. He and Aerith could easily level the 25th Night Liberators without having to do reconnaissance and so on.

These were all things that Aaron had not thought of and Aerith knew why. Aaron suddenly asked.

"You're too comfortable with this city to dull your vigilance. It's about time we went on a raid!"

Aaron sighed, placing the small glass on the wooden nightstand. The man flopped down on the bed as he stared at the roof of the same room as Aerith.

"You're right. All the hustle and bustle in this city makes my mind not clear, my alertness decreases and I become weak."

"After tonight is over. We'll go to Sky Sword 25th to tell them our plan. Do you mind?" asked Aerith.

Aaron shook his head, feeling no objection at all, "I want to seize the title of Dark Ruler! I need to get on the floor quickly!"
