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

Chapter 174 Sky Sword 25th Branch HQ

Sara and the others appeared from different directions. They walked with both hands, holding paper baskets full of cookies, groceries, and clothes. Karen turned around and waved, welcoming Sara and the others.

She explained that she had successfully upgraded the attributes of her red flame sword, and Arthur had obtained his third talent. Sara was shocked, never knowing a mage could have three talents.

"Then, what is the rank of the third talent?" asked Sara.

"That's SS rank," said Karen, shocking Sara and the others further.

In short, Arthur's three talents were above A rank. Dark Dimension Reality was an SSS rank talent, Gravity Manipulation was an S rank talent, and Clone Manipulation was an SS rank talent.

'I can't imagine what his power will be like. Two talents are enough to destroy a city. What if it's three?' asked Sara, wondering wildly.

They looked towards the front, watching Arthur standing before the black hooded woman with the power of darkness.

The two seemed to be facing each other intensely, full of intrigue and the turmoil of thoughts in their heads.

"What do you want from me?" asked Arthur.

"The Supreme Legion wants to see you. He sent me, the third of the seven seats of the Dark Legion, to come," replied the woman, her eyes glowing purple as the elements of darkness possessed her body and mind.

'Supreme Legion? Dark Legion? I have no problem with them. Why did they come?' Arthur asked.

Arthur sighed. His arms crossed over his chest, staring at the woman with a piercing gaze. The man clearly refused her invitation to go and see the Supreme Legion. Arthur didn't want to waste his time.

"You refuse? Fine," the woman said.

The woman's hands were clenched firmly before her face. Purple magic flowed from beneath the ground and shackled the hands and feet of the 13th Squad members.

They were trapped by the shackles of the mysterious woman's powerful purple chains, and even Miki had difficulty dealing with them.

"AKH!" groaned Sara, in pain as the purple chains made her fall face down on the ground.

People moved away from the city center area as if someone had used their magic. Arthur glanced back as he reached out towards them.

With the power of Arthur's purple magic, he shattered the woman's purple chains and freed them.

The mysterious woman was amazed, nodding several times after being pleased with Arthur's ability. What the Supreme Legion said was true. Arthur's power could not be underestimated by any of them.

'Maybe Leon, the first seat, can match his strength. After all, he was the one who killed Bright the fifth seat,' the woman said, looking straight ahead.

"You girls hurry to the Sky Sword branch HQ. I'll catch up with you later!" commanded Arthur, coating their bodies with his magic keeping them protected until they reached the branch HQ.

Sara and the others nodded, realizing the fight was beyond them. Even if they had helped Arthur, it would have only burdened the man. The best option was to go to the branch HQ and inform their high leader.

The mysterious woman before Arthur boldly introduced herself. She was Eve, the third seat holder of the Dark Legion.

She explained that she had killed many group leaders, destroyed the group, and razed a small town that a specific group had built.

It was those achievements that got Eve promoted. She also raised her students to the level of Young Sage, the same mage level as Arthur before he rose to Venerable Sage.

The more Dark Legion members with high-tier mages, the more powerful and influential the organization became.

Their objective was only one, to help the Supreme Legion move up the ranks to the title of Dark Ruler.

Unlike the three major groups, their methods are sadistic and cruel. They would kill other adventurers to gain EXP, steal EXP Elixir, and sacrifice Beast servants or Race Mythological servants to gain EXP.

From the results of the Dark Legion spy team's observations, Arthur had a match of principles with the Dark Legion.

That's why high-ranking officials like the Seven Angels Legion —the seven highest seats of the Dark Legion— came to pick him up.

Yet, the Dark Legion was too dangerous for Arthur. He was worried that the Supreme Legion was planning to consume Arthur's soul and status to make his level and CP even higher, especially since Arthur had a flag of authority capable of removing the penalty for murder.

Arthur really needs to be careful. The Dark Legion was already targeting him.

"So, how is it? Do you still want to join?" Eve asked, curious.

"Forget about that. I'm not joining you, no matter what gift you offer," Arthur explained.

"Sadly, the Supreme Legion will be furious with you, Arthur."

"If he wants me, he should come here and take me!" insisted Arthur, pointing downwards as if he wanted the Supreme Legion to kneel submissively like a dog.

"You're out of line, Arthur!" declared Eve, emitting her own purple magic out of her body.

That caused a strong magic boom; the magic fluctuations and wind gusts in that place spread throughout the city all the way to the hall of the 25th Sky Sword.

In the closest radius, glass shattered, and hanging items began to fall. In the farthest radius, only magic pulses could be felt, and the intense pounding continued.

A woman, sitting on the 25th Sky Sword HQ hall throne, felt the magic boom. The adult woman in a beautiful white and blue cloud-patterned dress turned her head to the side, looking at the man who was her aide.

"I'll go check it out, Leader."

The man set off with the 25th Sky Sword members towards the center of the magic boom. The three-meter-high iron white door opened, a 12-year-old girl entered while still wearing her Sky Sword uniform.

"Emily."

The woman in the white and blue cloud-patterned dress stepped from her throne, approaching her little sister, who once again had to be arrested by Sky Sword soldiers for walking too far out of line. There was a specific reason why Emily was not allowed to go too far; it was because of her talent.

"I was just going to the equipment and item area, but those three guys kept chasing me," Emily replied irritably.

"I understand. But if you're going to go there, at least let Aldo accompany you," the woman replied, clutching her temples, feeling dizzy from her little sister's attitude.

"Alright, I was wrong."

"Do you know what I found there, Sis?" asked Emily, enthusiastic.

The woman before Emily shook her head, having no idea what her sister had found. Just as Emily was about to say it, there was a soft knock on the throne room door. A guard came in and told the leader of the 25th Sky Sword that she had a guest.

"Guests?"

"Yes. She has a mandate from Andrew, the captain of Sky Sword 10th."

The woman asked Emily to tell her later about what she had found. The woman reached out and took the mandate letter from Andrew, her friend.

She opened it and was shocked to realize that a squad from Sky Sword 10th had managed to climb into Lilith City.

"Let them in. I want to know which of the best squads made it up here from the 10th floor," explained the woman. The guard nodded and did as instructed.

The white iron door opened, Sara and the others entered. They saw the throne hall of the Sky Sword branch HQ, which was so beautiful and charming.

The floor they stood on had a bridge connecting the door to the area in front. On the right and left sides, there were lush pools of clear water with healthy fish and aquatic plants.

The cold air was blowing and creating the impression of mist and clouds on the floor, but they could still see the bridge as it was adorned with bright blue light elements.

"Are you Sara, captain of the 13th Squad of the 10th Sky Sword?" asked the woman, sitting back on her throne, Emily accompanying her on the side, in her own seat to be exact.

"I am. Thank you for having us here, Ms. ...."

"Call me Eloise," replied Eloise, the leader of the 25th Sky Sword.

"Thank you for having us here, Ms. Eloise," Sara said. Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire

"I'm really pleased. Never before has a squad from the 10th floor been able to reach this city. You created history for you and your squad there," Eloise replied. Sara felt honored to be flattered by Eloise.

Due to the 13th squad's success in reaching Lilith's city, Eloise would give them a big reward, also sending tribute to the 10th floor to be received by Andrew.

The 13th squad's success in breaking through 15 floors proved that Sky Sword was a group that could not be underestimated.

"You can stay at our HQ to rest. You can join us and stay here, or you can return to the 10th floor and stay there," Eloise replied, rising from her seat and stepping closer to Sara.

"Thank you, Lady Eloise."

"We're waiting for our friend to arrive. He's having some trouble in the city center. I hope you can help her, Lady Eloise," Sara replied.

"Of course. I'll send my aide to go get him. There is not a single force in the city that can harm your friend. Trust me with everything."
