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

***

The next day.

Sky Sword 50th Headquarters.

Rumbling and noise could be heard from that place all the way to the house Aaron was staying at.

The man was awakened from his sleep by the noise, he got up from the bed and stepped towards the window of the two-story house he and Aerith were staying in.

The window was wide open, he watched as the members of the place were seen scattering to leave the Sky Sword headquarters. It was quite confusing to him.

"What's going on?" asked Aaron, monologuing.

BLAST!

A huge explosion occurred in some parts of the city, purple in color with soaring black smoke filling the place.

From the sky, Aaron witnessed that there were several elders from the three main groups present.

They were flying with their abilities, considering the majority of them had reached the Venerable Sage stage and beyond.

Aaron flew out of his room and hovered just above his lodging house. He was still in his sleeping clothes, looking straight ahead at the city from the hill of the Sky Sword 50th Headquarters —the headquarters' location was on a hill within the city.

"You. What are you doing?! Get out of here," ordered a Sky Sword member, seeing Aaron's appearance on top of the two-story house.

"What was that explosion?" asked Aaron. Enjoy new tales from My Virtual Library Empire

"We don't know. The elders of the three main groups are investigating," replied the member.

"More importantly, you need to go save yourself!"

The man ran back to leave the Sky Sword headquarters area. Slowly, they stepped down from the hill like they were avoiding something. Aaron didn't feel anything odd in this place.

Not until he had the appearance of power from the sky. Rumbling wind and lightning appeared suddenly, the gusts of wind felt so strong in that place that it blew away anything, whether semi-permanent buildings or small trees.

Aaron glanced up, feeling that there was a very strong force of darkness behind the thunderous cloud of lightning.

Filled with high curiosity, the man flew away from the Sky Sword 50th headquarters to quickly arrive right under the thunderous cloud of lightning.

The closer Aaron got to the cloud, the stronger and more intense the dark magic power became. Aaron guessed that this was the work of the Dark Legion.

'I'm dragging the conflict into a worse situation. This city will be severely affected,' Aaron said.

In a flash of maroon light, Aerith arrived beside Aaron in the sleeping pajamas she was wearing.

She looked up at the sky and saw that Aaron was so close to the center of the purple lightning.

The woman approached with a swift flight, accompanied by a maroon trail along her flight path. Now, she was fully beside Aaron.

"What happened?" asked Aerith.

"It seems the Dark Legion acted quickly after Elder Rev was captured. They're going to attack the city," Aaron replied.

Not only above the Sky Sword 50th headquarters, but he also saw two other thunderclouds appear in two different places: the Dimension Justice headquarters and the Night Liberators headquarters.

Aaron began to understand the situation. If the Dark Legion wanted to free Elder Rev, then they had to make sure the city was free of the three main groups.

That way, their way of freeing Elder Rev would become very easy.@@novelbin@@

"The only way they can take over the city is to target the headquarters of the three main groups and eliminate them. That will make it easier for them to find Elder Rev," Aaron explained.

"Dark Legion! I hate them even though they're dark elemental-using mages," Aerith chimed in.

She also saw three thunderous clouds in three different places. Aerith turned her head, asking the next plan for Aaron. Aaron shook his head, confused.

With his current abilities, he could actually help them. However, this was basically a matter between the Dark Legion and the three main groups.

Aaron did not belong to any group, not even Sky Sword. Eve and Lilith didn't even come to him for help.

"We will not interfere in this matter."

"Let the three main groups settle it," Aaron explained.

"Since the beginning of their dispute, I've never gotten involved. Yesterday, it was just a small revenge for the stabbing of me," Aaron said.

Aerith didn't argue. What Aaron said still had to be fulfilled by Aerith, because she followed what Aaron was going to do.

Choosing not to interfere was wise, according to Aerith. That was because the figure of Elder Rev had been handed over to Sky Sword 50th, so the safety and responsibility of that man was in their hands completely.

They did not want anything bad to happen to them. They flew quickly away from that place until they could be clearly seen by the members of Sky Sword 50th.

They looked at the sky and pointed at the two magic flying trails of Aaron and Aerith.

In an instant, Aaron and Aerith's figures were nowhere to be seen around the Sky Sword elders. It was quite a shock to the members of the group.

The two disappeared without a trace, entering the town and acting normally as if nothing bad had happened. Yet, they could see that the townspeople were in a state of panic.

They returned to their lodgings, until they fully arrived at their rooms. Aaron looked back towards the city center, watching the sky filled with thunderous black clouds and purple lightning.

"What are they going to do?" asked Aaron.

The elders of the three main groups seemed prepared, especially after the presence of the Dark Legion elders.

They asked the elders of the three main groups to hand over Elder Rev. They promised to stop the Shadowless Killer's operations immediately.

However, the elders of the three main groups had already fully understood the intentions of the Dark Legion's words. None of them could be held to their word, they were a bunch of liars.

"I cannot trust you. You are liars!" Eve said firmly.

"If you won't do it, then you must prepare for great destruction in Noah City!" said Hans.

Unable to come to an agreement, Hans pointed his hand upwards. From within a thunderous cloud, thousands of purple skulls appeared with one large purple skull.

They aimed downwards to destroy the headquarters of the three main groups.

The combined power of the members of the three main groups worked together to strengthen their groups' defense domes.

Blue, gold, and red light shone from three different places, in order to strengthen the defense power of the dome.

A magical clash occurred between the protective dome and the skull's magic. A strong magic boom was felt throughout the city, three times because there were three times of magic clashes.

Aaron stretched out his hand, summoning the power of his purple magic to withstand the magic boom.

Nevertheless, the building and all the furniture inside were quite affected, considering that the battle this time involved high tier mages.

'I knew it. Their battle will definitely have a big impact,' Aaron said.

Of the three places, the Night Liberators didn't seem to be able to withstand the purple skull's attacks.

Their protective dome cracked and the Dark Legion's purple skull attack charged into the base.

BLAST!

Explosions occurred, inevitably in that place. Members of the Night Liberators fell wounded, some of them died from the blast, some were also fatally injured.

The elder of the Night Liberators was enraged, he immediately landed his fire talent attack on Hans.

"You will not be spared!" snapped the elder, easy for Hans to parry.

A fight ensued, involving the elders of the three main groups with those of the Dark Legion. Aaron thought this was bad for himself and Aerith.

If the fight escalated, Aaron and Aerith could potentially be directly involved in their fight. That would put them in danger.

"We have to get out of here!" said Aaron.

"Where are we going?" asked Aerith, approaching Aaron.

"We're going back to Lilith City, waiting for the situation to become more favorable," Aaron explained.

Aerith nodded. With her ability, she opened a dimensional crack in that place. Aerith invited Aaron to enter, immediately the man stepped closer to the woman.

Now, Aaron and Aerith's figures were fully in the Dark Dimension. If Aaron's calculations were correct, then the Monster Raid on the 50th floor would start tomorrow or today.

He would return to this place tomorrow, hoping that the escalation decreased with the abilities of the elders of the three main groups.

Arriving in the Dark Dimension, Aerith again opened a dimensional crack. The two flew in and fully arrived at Lilith City.

The atmosphere in the city was much more peaceful than Noah City, although it must be admitted that the splendor of the two cities differed drastically.

They arrived at the village where the Shadow Ruler's Headquarters stood. There were many differences, from the neatly made and paved village roads, to the magnificent building with a large complex in that place.

"I left this place in a few months, but there are already a lot of changes happening," Aaron explained.

"Maybe Eloise is helping the Shadow Ruler a lot, as per your agreement," Aerith said.

"It's possible. Eloise is a responsible woman. She'll keep her word."

"Who are you?!" snapped a man, unleashing his magic at Aaron.

Swiftly, Aaron blocked the attack with his palm. The strength Aaron showed was quite surprising to him, especially when the man saw that Aaron's mage level exceeded Lewis.

Not just one, but several members of the Shadow Ruler appeared at that place. They were present wearing their uniforms, black with purple patterns. Aaron was really impressed.

"Inform Sky Sword that there are intruders in the Shadow Ruler's territory. Let Miss Eloise handle it," said the man.

"Okay. We understand."
