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

Chapter 118 Guardian of the Celestial Waterfall

"Are you new to this floor? Don't worry. You're more than welcome to the Celestial Water group," replied the woman in the white dress who looked like a goddess.

Still, the response shown by the members was ridiculous. They prostrated themselves while continuing to worship the majesty of their leader. There was not a single one of them who didn't do that —the all powerful Persona Majesty.

She stepped gracefully down the steps of her temple-shaped residence to arrive at the front area of Celestial Water's base. The closer she stepped, Arthur could feel the pressure of her Majesty's Persona getting stronger.

'Her talent is stronger than Misa's, her strength is almost comparable to Rasputin's,' Arthur said.

The image in the area surrounding Arthur changed drastically, Thalenia's figure disappeared and was replaced by a beautiful woman with fair skin and long blonde hair. The woman appeared to be not one, but four people surrounding Arthur.

Even more shocking, the four women were naked. Their breasts and private parts were clearly visible to Arthur, and the scene changed to a view of a waterfall with birds chirping. Enjoy new adventures at empire

'What is this? It's not the majesty persona anymore, it's the charm of lust,' said Arthur.

The four women continued to rub their naked bodies on Arthur's hands, face and feet. Arthur could feel the warmth and softness of their touch, but he was still trying to convince himself that this was an illusion.

"This isn't real," Arthur said.

"What's not real?"

The Celestial Water's leader woman emerged from the waterfall pool, undressed as her smiling face looked down at Arthur. Arthur gasped, he had not prepared for something like this to come to pass.

"I can give you the pleasure of the admiration you show me. You only need to do one thing," the woman said, raising one index finger of her right hand towards Arthur.

"Tell me that you worship me and are ready to become my loyal worshipper," the woman replied.

"If you do, I will give you the purity of my body."

Arthur swallowed his saliva deeply, his hands reaching forward to grasp two beautiful breasts the size of an adult man's fist —medium size.

"You just have to say it simply," the woman before Arthur replied.

"Owh! Get lost, you fucking cunt!" snapped another woman, startling Arthur and the Celestial Water leader.

Just as the voice appeared, a blast of maroon magic energy emanated from Arthur's body. The boom caused the entire illusion created by her to fade away, the Celestial Water leader was shocked to see that another adventurer had managed to break her talent persona.

'Aerith?' Arthur asked, shocked.

'My body can be more beautiful than hers, you fool! Don't be swayed by her persona,' Aerith said, snapping at Arthur.

'Damn it! I'm completely out of focus. Thank you for protecting me,' Arthur replied.

'Be careful with her, Aaron. She's as cunning as a snake,' Aerith said, Arthur cleared his throat as he nodded in reply.

[Majesty's Persona has been defeated]

[Host successfully escapes the illusion of the Persona Majesty Talent user]

[Host's HP and MP are unaffected]

The leader of Celestial Water, Laurette, was taken aback with shock written all over her face. She continued to stare at Arthur with narrowed eyes, sensing that the young man was far more dangerous. Arthur's existence could disrupt her group's existence.

"If you won't join me, then what's your purpose?" Laurette asked, asking without intimidating Arthur with her talent.

"I'm not in the mood for trouble. Let us go to the waterfall. We won't do anything bad there," said Arthur.

Laurette was silent, she didn't have an aide, or a lover. There was no one who could give her advice; she was truly the supreme leader of Celestial Water. All decisions had to be thought out and decided by her, no matter what.

The woman occasionally glanced forward, looking at Arthur carefully. There were two possibilities that could happen, either they went to war because Arthur insisted or the holiness of Celestial Waterfall was tainted because a stranger visited without the right.

"How important is it?"

"Very important. I worked my way up a floor here just to visit the waterfall."

After thinking for a while, Laurette sighed and opened the way at the base gate to Arthur and Thalenia.

The woman said that she would escort them to near Celestial's waterfall, making sure Arthur and Thalenia did not do anything bad that could threaten the holiness of the place.

Arthur nodded politely. He let Laurette go first, followed by Thalenia and Arthur was the last one behind.

Arthur continued to watch the members of Celestial Water, they still prostrated themselves when their leader was nearby. Once she was gone, they stood up straight again and pretended nothing had happened.

'Their demeanor is like a robot,' Arthur said.

The young man firmly believed that Laurette's majesty persona was still active and embedded in the hearts of her members. They were still lost in Laurette's false illusions, Arthur wondered how the woman managed the MP when her talent was still active?

Laurette and Thalenia continued to walk through the grassy path towards the direction of the Celestial Waterfall, but Arthur's steps were halted when his eyes caught a suspicious scene inside the ancient temple.

He focused his eyes and peered through a crack in the window, shocked to the point of speechlessness Arthur saw what was happening inside a large temple room.

10 men and 10 women gathered around, they were not an illusion of talent. They were naked and touching each other, moans could be heard clearly echoing off the wooden walls, they were all adults.

Orgy, they were actually doing it. There was one woman sitting on her knees dressed similarly to Laurette.

She was the woman in charge of the dedications ritual, the ritual was performed to ensure that the waters of heaven merged in pleasure and delight, solely to worship the guardian goddess of the waterfall.

'This is insane! They're really insane,' Arthur complained.

The woman looked to the side, realizing that a strange man was watching the dedication procession. Arthur exchanged a glance with her for a moment, then the young man chose to go after Laurette and Thalenia who had already walked away.

The young man was still indifferent, reluctant to tell anyone what he had just seen. Shortly after catching up, the two arrived near a waterfall that seemed to be kept clean.

"This is the Celestial Waterfall, a sacred place for our group. Every night, the water in this place always glows blue as if it was the moment when the goddess guarding this place woke up."

'Is that goddess a friend of Thalenia's? Did they really see what she looked like?' Arthur asked.

Thalenia stepped forward without asking Laurette's permission first. The woman tried to prevent her, but Arthur held back her hand to at least let Thalenia do something.

A soft voice came from Thalenia's mouth with the Nymph's eyes looking teary, full of hope.

"Miki?" asked Thalenia.

"Miki? Are you there? It's me, Thania," Thalenia continued.

The woman kept calling Miki's name without stopping, her tears falling down the slits of her cheeks. She longed to see her friend, Miki.

"Miki? Who is she?" asked Laurette, softly to Arthur.

"That's her friend. Can't you just shut up and watch? You'll spoil the mood," whispered Arthur, Laurette agreed.

Thalenia stepped into the waterfall pool while calling Miki's name over and over again. She even apologized that she had disappeared for 200 years without telling her first.

"I was afraid you wouldn't agree with my decision," Thalenia whispered, bowing her head.

When hope was nearly lost, Arthur felt a small tremble beneath his feet. Through his eyes, a stream of magical energy flowed into the pool, causing a bright blue light to glow in the daylight.

Laurette was shocked. She stepped back and sat on her knees with her head bowed, about to pay her respects to the Celestial Water goddess who was about to reveal herself for the first time. All the Celestial Water members on guard at the waterfall did the same as Laurette.

A wave appeared above the surface of the waterfall pool, Arthur was anxious and pulled Thalenia away from the spot. Suddenly the water shot strongly upwards to a height of 10 meters, the people of Celestial Water continued to worship the presence of their goddess.

Arthur narrowed his eyes, he felt a stream of blue magic energy centered in the middle of the burst of water. It was certain that Thalenia's friend had really appeared.

"Thania?" asked Miki, coming out from behind the waterfall, revealing a woman in traditional Japanese dress with a short stature.

"M-Miki?" asked Thania aka Thalenia.

The young man near Thalenia could only gape in disbelief, gawking with widened eyes. Miki was not of the Nymph race, but of the Kitsune race.

"A Kitsune?"

Miki revealed two ears and four fox tails on her body. Her eyes stared intently at Arthur, the one who was holding Thania's hand.

"Take your dirty hands off of my friend, you filthy human!"
