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

Annie arrived at her house and saw Isabella and Sokia sitting on wooden chairs in the front yard. They talked about many things while sipping warm tea, all about Aaron and his ambition to climb the floor.

"Isabella," greeted Annie.

Annie's voice was heard from the front yard. Isabella turned aside and saw her arriving alone, without Aaron accompanying her. That was enough to make Isabella suspicious.

"Where is Aaron?"

"That's what I wanted to ask you. While he and I were walking home, a mysterious woman came and took Aaron with her."

Isabella was unable to hide her shock. She stood straight with a shocked face right when Annie said mysterious woman.

There were many possibilities, but when Annie described the figure of the mysterious woman, Isabella could confirm she was Aerith.

'Aerith? What is she planning to do to Aaron?' Isabella asked, confused.

"Is Aaron gonna be okay? It seems the mysterious woman is much stronger than him."

"She is powerful indeed. However, I can't be sure of Aaron's condition in her hands," Isabella said.

She could see Annie's anxious face on display. The woman could not think clearly about the events that happened. She should have fought the woman when she took Aaron to the mysterious portal.

"Do you know a lot about the woman?" asked Annie, Isabella shook her head.

"Not much. I know her name is Aerith. She's the closest person to Aaron, but I cannot confirm what kind of closeness the two have."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

There is not much information she knows about Aerith. Aaron didn't tell much because the young man didn't want Isabella and Sokia to get involved in his matters. Aaron knew Aerith's power was terrible and had great potential to kill Aaron's two friends.

"He'll probably return soon. Most importantly, how was your battle?" asked Isabella, trying to change the subject.

Annie realized Isabella was trying to change the topic of their conversation. Seeing Isabella's calm demeanor made Annie fairly confident that Aaron would be fine. The woman also began to tell what happened in the battle earlier.

Isabella listened to every word the woman said, trying to imagine how tense the battle was. Isabella congratulates Annie on her victory against Jasper; she even wants to see Annie battle in the audience.

Annie explains that she will be taking this month off from the battle. She was quite fed up with the fights. No one could make her excited.

Still, she was curious about Aaron's strength. Annie was eager to challenge Aaron to a battle, even letting her not get paid if she won just to know what the young man was capable of.

Yet, Aaron refused with a short, thoughtless reply. The young man thought that a fight would only make him the center of attention of many people, which Aaron tried to avoid.

"Maybe I'll try to persuade him. He might be willing if not witnessed by many people," Isabella replied.

Annie smiled, very grateful if Isabella managed to persuade Aaron. The three were chatting casually in the front yard of Annie's residence while enjoying green tea. Annie discovered that Sokia was a descendant of the dragon race.

However, there was no bad intention from her to kill Sokia. According to Annie, she didn't need anything because she already had abundant money, which was the reward for winning the battle for the past six months. Continue reading at empire

Just as they talked, Annie looked behind her as a woman in the Sky Sword group uniform came over. Annie downed the drink and stepped up to her without walking out of the protective dome wall.

"What's the matter? Are you unhappy with Jasper losing?" asked Annie proudly.

"That's not what I came for. Francesca wants to see Aaron. Can we bring him to our base?" the woman asked, surprising Annie.

"Tch! What does that bitch want? Does she want to fuck Aaron all night?!" complained Annie, hands clasped around her waist.

"She didn't tell me why Aaron needed to come."

"Tell your leader he's not here. So get your ass back," Annie ordered.

Annie waltzed away from the place to return to the wooden chair in her front yard, but the Sky Sword woman still seemed to be silent there. Isabella squinted, curious as to what she would do.

Unexpectedly, the woman showed up with other people from the Sky Sword group. They appeared while bringing up magic talents in their hands, various talents with possibly different ranks.

Isabella rose from her seat with a cautious attitude; Sokia was the same. Yet, Isabella asked Sokia not to act rashly. This was done to protect her identity.

Annie saw Isabella's cautious stance. She looked back again and saw about 10 members of the Sky Sword group appearing from behind the trees with grinning faces, full of murderous intent.

"Didn't I tell you he's not here?!" said Annie.

Isabella looked at Annie, she began to bring out her magic sword. The sword seemed to emit a golden glow that was enough to make people awed and frightened.

"Do you think I'm stupid?!"

"Bring him here quickly, or you'll regret it!" said a man, walking close to Annie.

"Do you know who I am? I wouldn't mind chopping off your heads!" threatened Annie.

"You are a stubborn woman."

He struck the wall of the protective dome forcefully, causing a fairly strong clash of magical energy to occur outside the dome. Annie jumped back; Isabella was ready with a rose talent in both hands.

A barrage of attacks were launched by them towards the protective dome wall. They began to become increasingly annoyed that the dome wasn't being destroyed.

Although Aaron's protective magic was quite strong, Annie and the others had to stay alert if the wall broke at any time and endangered their lives.

Just when the situation was so tense, a dimensional rift suddenly emerged in the front yard of Annie's residence. Annie turned her head back, Isabella and Sokia looked to the side.

The person who came out from inside the dimensional rift was Aaron, with Aerith looking intimately, embracing Aaron's body from the side. They stepped out to become the center of many people's attention.

"Aaron," greeted Annie, happy.

"What happened?" asked Isabella.

"I got a new soul servant. That's happened," Aaron replied.

BOMB!

The sound of an explosion occurred outside the protective dome, and it was enough to diver Aaron's attention forward to see the people from Sky Sword trying to destroy it.

Aaron stepped up with Aerith, walking closer to the dome's edge with his eyes focused ahead. He saw the men seemingly staring at Aaron full of hatred, vengeance, and anger.

"What do you want?" asked Aaron, sternly.

"We want to take you to Francesca!"

The young man brought up his dark elemental purple magic, threatening them that Aaron wasn't afraid to kill people.

Aerith noticed that Aaron's murderous title would have a worse effect on the young man.

"Don't worry, dear. Leave them to me."

"These days, I'm quite lonely. Maybe they can be my training buddies!"
