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

[ANNOUNCEMENT!]

[Dark Pillar Tower]

[45th Floor]

[Monster: Lv 280-290]

[Monster Boss: ?]

[Countdown for Closed Gate:]

[00:11:59:59]

An information panel appeared in front of Aaron, a sign that the Monster Raid had opened. The Dark Pillar gate was open, not just one, but many gates were open.

In accordance with the previous plan, Aaron will participate in the Sky Sword raid team. Not without reason Aaron did that, they had a complete 45th Floor Dark Pillar map, so it was a wise choice if Aaron joined them.

Even so, Aaron wasn't fully part of their raid team. In short, Aaron was a solo adventurer who fully cooperated with them in this raid.

For the boss challenge, they would do it individually. The Sky Sword Raid Team would do it alone without Aaron's help, and vice versa.

They entered after the preparations were complete. The 45th Floor Dark Pillar map was opened.

Judging from the directions on the map, to arrive at the Raid Monster, they needed a route through several intersections ahead.

There were a total of seven intersections they had to pass, with each monster filling each intersection.

Aaron had to be vigilant, the monsters on the 45th floor were not as easy to deal with as the monsters from the lower floors.

Following them, Aaron walked behind the ranks of Sky Sword's raid team. Occasionally, they glanced back to ensure Aaron's safety, since Aaron's ability was the weakest among them.

"Why did Captain Jonas accept him? His abilities are on par with the Senior Sage, he'll give us trouble later," said a raid team member, doubting Aaron's abilities.

"Don't talk too loudly. If he comes to help us, isn't that great? We'll have an easier time in this raid," said another member, a colleague of the woman who had doubted Aaron's ability.

Aaron heard a glimpse of what they said, it was natural for Aaron to think that they didn't believe him because of the fedora hat he was wearing.

The fedora hat works according to its purpose, disguising Aaron's power so as not to be suspected.

With his powers disguised, Aaron could ensure his safety from any group threats. However, they would only see Aaron's current abilities as a Senior Sage tier mage.

They passed through the first intersection, clearly seeing three large fire lion-shaped monsters. Jonas asked his members to be on full alert, fire lion monsters could be quite troublesome.

"You can help us with your magic," Jonas explained, speaking to Aaron.

Aaron nodded, allowing Jonas and his team members to attack the fire lion monster first. Aaron allowed it to see what the team was capable of.

They cooperated with each other, some in charge of attracting the monster's attention, some in charge of shackling the monster's body, and some in charge of attacking the monster's body.

However, when the moment the monsters attacked, they swiftly worked together to form a solid defense wall.

Two of the three fire lion monsters had been defeated, but one remained and most of the raid team members were exhausted.

"Can you help us defeat it?" asked Jonas, looking back.

"Sure."

Aaron removed his fedora and pointed his right hand forward. A brightly lit purple magic aura emanated from the man's body, shocking the Sky Sword raid team members.

[Main Talent Activated]

[Sub Talent Activated]

[Energy Devouring Sword]

[MP -25000]

[Name: Aaron Lewis]

[MP: 1360000/1525000] [-25000]

Purple magic aura gathered in Aaron's right hand, concentrated in a large amount and extremely powerful force. Slowly, the purple light formed a large sword in Aaron's hand.

With a forward swing, he swung the sword towards the fire lion monster, dealing significant damage.

[Damage +254000]

All the members of the Sky Sword raid team couldn't hide their surprise. Written in the panel that appeared in front of Aaron, the amount of damage done by Aaron's sub talent purple sword attack.

"Why is he so strong?" asked one of the raid team members.

Aaron looked back, stepping over while putting the fedora hat back on. Not forgetting, he took the soul essence ball from the fire lion monster he defeated, enough to increase his soul essence level.

"You may proceed, Captain Jonas," Aaron replied.

"A-All right."

They resumed their journey, walking through the labyrinthine corridors and turning at the intersection in front of them. There, he could see that there were several monsters waiting for the adventurers.

The Sky Sword raid team members fought again with good teamwork. They attacked and defended well enough to make Aaron quite impressed with their abilities. However, they could only defeat two of the four monsters.

From behind, Aaron unleashed his magic power and helped the Sky Sword raid team defeat the last two monsters.

The two monsters were defeated easily, all the looted items belonging to Aaron completely.

After a grueling battle in the maze, they finally arrived at the floor boss area. No one had come to challenge the floor boss yet, as the mages were preoccupied with the unfinished war.

Because of this, Jonas felt no rush to challenge the floor boss. He looked back, seeing that many of his members were injured and exhausted.

"We'll rest a bit before challenging the floor boss," Jonas said, and they nodded in compliance.

The man stepped closer to Aaron, asking him the truth about his identity. Aaron sighed, his fight earlier in the labyrinth corridor must have attracted attention and suspicion from Jonas.

However, Aaron still held firm that he had to protect his identity, no matter what. He was still wearing the fedora hat that was useful for disguising his abilities and face.

"Sorry. I can't tell you about that," Aaron replied.

Jonas seemed to gasp, then cleared his throat in agreement, feeling no objection to Aaron's statement.

Everyone had their own privacy, and Aaron was no different. Jonas had no right to know what Aaron's privacy was like.

"Is that so? It seems that you have a privacy that you need to protect. I understand," Jonas replied.

Aaron thanked Jonas for the man's understanding. Jonas again stepped closer to his raid team members to join them in resting. However, Aaron chose to go somewhere else and rest alone.

Aaron's eyes closed, HP and MP regen were working on him. Aaron could feel the aches, pains, and pains in his body disappear, replaced with a cool feeling of comfort.

His MP was slowly increasing steadily, although the amount was still quite a lot and could use many sub talents from Aaron's three talents.

Half an hour passed, and Jonas and his team members decided to go challenge the floor boss immediately.

Aaron opened his eyes and saw the 45th Sky Sword raid team going near the door wall to do the challenger team registration.

Jonas responded briefly with a nod, then guided his team members into the open door of the boss room. Now, Aaron was left alone in that place, waiting for the boss's challenge turn to come.

Aaron sat cross-legged again as he waited for Jonas to complete the floor boss challenge. The man closed his eyes to see the situation on the 45th floor, where the war was raging between Gerard and Aerith against Eliane and the mountain valley alliance.

From Gerard's eyes, Aaron could see the inevitable destruction. Many members' lives were lost, not a few of the group leaders were fatally wounded by what happened.

Even so, Eliane had not been significantly affected by the war. Aerith was still fighting relentlessly, now Gerard had come to the woman's aid.

"They're still fighting. Do I need to tell them?" asked Aaron, curious.

"I don't want Aerith to get hurt. She's precious to me."

Through telepathy, Aaron told Gerard that he had to stop the war immediately. It was solely to protect Aerith from getting hurt.

Gerard heard Aaron's voice, ordering him to stop fighting. Quickly, Gerard immediately told Aerith about it to stop the war going on between them and Eliane.

"Aaron has been in the Dark Pillar?" asked Aerith, Gerard said yes.

Aerith's plan worked, the distraction war managed to get Aaron into the dark pillar quickly. According to Gerard's explanation, Aaron was currently in the floor boss room, waiting for his turn to challenge the floor boss.

"That's good. Now, let's stop this war," Aerith replied, Gerard nodding in understanding.

Maroon magic appeared in Aerith's right hand, the woman instantly slashed the dimensional boundary to bring up a dimensional rift.

Eliane saw and realized what the dimensional rift meant, something to do with an escape attempt.

"They're trying to escape!" said Eliane, pointing at Aerith.

"Catch them before the rift disappears!"

"Get lost!" snapped Aerith, swinging her arms to hit everyone who tried to approach them.

They were bounced and pushed away by Aerith's magic. It was enough to shock them and make it difficult for them to fight back, let alone catch Aerith and Gerard who were trying to escape.

The two of them entered into a dimensional rift, then the dimensional rift disappeared in an instant.

Eliane screamed loudly, she was going completely crazy with what was happening right now. She had already lost the chance to get back the Volcano Essence Gem.

"Damn it! Where exactly did they go?" Eliane asked.

From within the Dark Pillar, Aaron felt a dimensional rift open up. His eyes stared forward, seeing Aerith and Gerard coming from within the dimensional rift. Both of them were completely messed up as a result of the ongoing war.

"I'm glad you guys are okay."
