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

In accordance with what was on the map slip, Aaron flew into the Dark Pillar for the raid. Aerith could not fly inside just like Aaron, it was based on the lack of an individual system on her.

However, her ability to travel by relying on dimensional rifts allowed her to know the location of Aaron, especially since she could see Aaron's whereabouts.

[Monster Boss: ?]

[Countdown for Closed Gate:]

[00:05:24:19]

From below, precisely along the Dark Pillar corridor. Aaron witnessed many mages stepping out of the place.

Apart from the fact that they had finished raiding, they left because they were reluctant to be trapped too long in the Dark Pillar.

The monsters did have a valuable amount of items on their bodies, that's what made the mages feel comfortable staying for a long time.

But if they stay too long and lose track of time, they can get trapped inside the Dark Pillar with no way out. In the end, it became the worst way for them to die.

Since five hours had passed, most of the monsters that ruled the maze corridors had been defeated. Aaron found a few weak monsters still hanging around, which he defeated quite easily by using his talents.

[EXP +65200]

[TP +32600]

[Choose Talent for TP allocation:]

[1. Dark Dimension Reality]

[2. High Sealing]

[3. Clone Manipulation]

[RL +30000]

In addition to getting a significant amount, Aaron also got a number of high-level items that could be useful to him later.

The Dimensional Rift appeared when Aaron finished killing the maze monster. As Aerith stepped out with her usual gentle walk, she saw three ape monsters die and left behind their soul essence orbs.

"Don't you want to extract their soul essences?" asked Aerith.

"I'll do it."

Aaron reached out and took the three soul essence orbs belonging to the three dead monsters. The extraction began after the protective orb wall was destroyed, Aaron absorbed the soul essence entering through his forehead.

[Soul Extraction Successful]

[Soul Essence gained: +75]

[Soul Essence: 1515/100000] [+75]

Although Aaron could obtain a certain amount of soul essence by killing monsters or other mages, but it took a long time to be able to fill the required amount of soul essence until it reached the 100000 number.

What Aerith said might be true, vials containing soul essence might be more useful than manual and rough extraction.

Perhaps the amount would increase significantly like when Aaron was using EXP Elixir to increase his EXP amount.

"Pretty easy, isn't it?" asked Aerith, Aaron cleared his throat briefly.

"It is. But I need a monster with a high level. If I don't find it, I need hundreds of monsters with the same level as that one," said Aaron.

"Don't be in a hurry, you still have a long way to go. Isabella's soul is still safe with me, there is no time limit on the age of one's soul."

"I understand," Aaron replied.

After finishing with the soul extraction, Aaron sped up following the map slip he had. To reach the boss room, Aaron had to pass at least three intersections before him.

Aaron and Aerith flew through the sky of the maze corridor at a fairly fast rate, accompanied by small magic pulses and magic trails of purple and maroon colored smoke.

At the second intersection, their flight rate halted again. A battle was underway between a group and a green scorpion monster full of acidic slime.

[Monster Details]

[Monster: Green Acid Scorpion]

[Level: 153]

[HP: 95,250] [-84,750]

[MP: 195,000]

[Element: Water]

From the monster's detail panel, at least the scorpion had the basic element of water. Aaron focused his attention forward, watching as three of the five members of the attacking group had the fire element.

"Do we need to snatch the monster?" asked Aerith, turning her head.

Aaron fell silent. It would be unethical for someone to seize the monster's loot if the group killed it, but Aaron didn't care.

He had already summoned purple light magic in his right hand, ready to give the monster a last hit when the situation became critical.

"Quick! Attack the monster for the last time," declared the group captain.

They joined forces and attacked the scorpion simultaneously. Aaron waited for the right moment, the monster details panel still appearing before him.

[Monster Details]

[Monster: Acid Green Scorpion]

[Level: 153]

[HP: 30,250] [-65,000]

[MP: 145,000] [-50,000]

[Element: Water]

Their attacks ended and it was quite shocking for them that the combined attacks failed to kill the scorpion monster. Now, it was Aaron's turn to attack and deliver the last hit to the monster.

Using only purple magic manipulation, he made his magic turn into a sword and let it dart powerfully into the scorpion's body.

The entire group could not contain their shock. Their eyes witnessed a purple magic sword stuck firmly in the scorpion monster's body, not part of their magic.

"Who is that?" asked the group captain, looking back.

[Damage +45000]

[Monster: Acid Green Scorpion]

[HP: 0] [-45000]

Aaron managed to get a last hit from the monster. A panel of EXP, TP, and RL appeared before him, but with a significant amount due to Aaron getting the last hit.

They also got them, but not by much. The most noticeable difference was that they didn't get items, while Aaron did.

"How dare you take the last hit from the monster we fought earlier!" snapped the group captain, activating a fire talent and attacking Aaron using fire dragon magic.

The man easily withstood the group captain's attack. Just by sticking out a hand, he could withstand and even destroy the group captain's fragile fire dragon.

To his surprise, the four members were the same. They were pretty sure their captain's strength was at the Intermediate Sage tier, quite powerful and troublesome. Yet, in the eyes of the man in the purple-patterned black shirt, the fire dragon's attack meant nothing.

"You managed to withstand my attack so easily? What the hell is going on? Who the fuck are you?!" asked the group captain, pointing at Aaron.

"You don't need to know anything about me," Aaron replied.@@novelbin@@

He reached out and grabbed the scorpion monster's soul essence orb. The group was shocked as they had no idea what Aaron was about to do.

The extraction went smoothly, the monster's soul level was at 15, if the extraction was done, then Aaron would get a soul essence amount of 25.

[Soul Extraction Successful]

[Soul Essence gained: +25]

[Soul Essence: 1540/100000] [+25]

Having benefited from the battle, Aaron told the group before him to leave the Dark Pillar immediately. They had been in that place for too long, their group members also looked exhausted.

"If you insist on hunting other monsters, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out and end up being killed," Aaron stated.

"What are we listening to you for? I'm the captain of the group. I know what I'm doing," snapped the man, pointing at Aaron.

"It's all up to you."
