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

Chapter 85 Dark Legion Invasion

"Dark Legion?"

Liscia couldn't hide her shock. Never had she expected the sworn enemies of the three major groups to come and mess up at the guild's official tournament event.

Aaron said yes. He also explained to her about the Dark Legion's ambition, which was to capture the Flag of Authority.

"Leaders Harry and Andrew do have the Flag of Authority. But, that flag can't be used carelessly."

"They commonly use it when fighting off monster invasions or fighting against other groups. The power of the Flag of Authority is enough to increase STR buffs and other attributes for group members," explained Liscia. Aaron nodded, knowing that.

Hearing the attack made Liscia worried about the situation inside the arena, as many adventurers were trapped and couldn't leave. Likely, the battle would be fierce between Harry and the Dark Legion group.

"There will be casualties," Liscia said sadly.

"There's nothing we can do. We can only hope that Harry and the others can defeat the Dark Legion quickly," Misa replied.

Misa took another step towards Aaron after explaining the situation to everyone. Aaron turned aside to look at Liscia.

She asked Liscia to secure the surrounding area from the crowd to avoid any other casualties outside the arena.

Liscia nodded. She ordered the other guild staff to conduct tight security. The crowd, who were not guild staff, were ordered to stay away from the arena by 500 meters, in the form of a circular security with a magic fence attached and stretched like a dome.

Aaron and Misa were not allowed to leave as they were the first to know the situation inside the arena. Liscia returned to Aaron after giving orders to the other guild staff.

"Can't you go back inside and help them defeat the Dark Legion?" asked Liscia.

"I have no reason to defeat them. My powers won't be useful there anyway."

Misa smiled, her eyes constantly glancing to the side as she watched Aaron's every word.

'You just don't want to get into further trouble with the other group, right? Even with your power, you can easily defeat the Dark Legion.'

[WARNING!]

[A mysterious anomaly occurred in the city]

[All people are required to evacuate to a place based on the evacuation route]

Aaron was taken aback, as were Misa and Liscia. Not only them but all the people within the city received the notification information panel, a red panel with yellow text.

"This panel never-"

BOM!

A massive explosion occurred behind them. Red flames and black smoke soared up from a familiar direction, the City Guild Office.

Liscia widened her eyes, pale-faced with trembling hands and feet. There was no mistaking it; the explosion had come from the Guild Office.

"T-The City Guild Office is on fire?" asked Liscia, gawking.

'This is bad. It seems that not only the arena was their target, but other places also.'

"You guys with more than 60000 CP, check the situation there!"

"Tell me immediately what's happening there," commanded Liscia. The other staff scattered to leave the place for the guild office.

Liscia walked back and forth, worried about the situation there. Although her CP was high, she couldn't leave because she had to handle the situation in the arena. Still, the other staff could definitely handle the situation there.

Aaron sighed. The scene turned chaotic and messy inside the city when all the important leaders were trapped in the Dark Legion's confining magic. Aaron looked back, then back at the front.

"What should I do?" asked Liscia.

'Damn. I don't want to cause more trouble, but this tense situation leaves me no choice,' said Aaron.

Trapped by the current situation, Aaron took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He pressed Misa's shoulder and asked the woman for something, Misa's attention glued to Aaron.

"Stay here with Liscia."

"Where are you gonna go?" asked Misa, worried.

"Those damn group leaders can't defeat the Dark Legion soon enough. If I don't act, the whole city will be covered in explosions," Aaron explained.

"A-Are you gonna help us?" asked Liscia. Aaron reluctantly nodded yes.

Aaron also ordered Liscia to do something important. If the explosion was caused by the Dark Legion, it was confident that other places could be attacked.

"Tell the guild staff to inform the people at the headquarters of the three major groups and the city cathedral. I suspect that the next explosion targets will be in those four places," Aaron said, looking at Liscia.

"I understand."

[Neutral Gravity Step]

[MP -12500]

[Name: Aaron]

[Additional MP: 220000] [-12500]

Aaron's second talent has activated, making the gravity around him neutral. With it, Aaron flew away from the area around the arena towards the guild office. Aaron's leaving by flying free amazed Liscia.

"He can fly so easily?" asked Liscia.

"There's a lot of things you don't know about him."

Aaron flew with a trail of purple light on his flight path. The sight attracted many evacuating adventurers, who gazed up at the sky and marveled at the mysterious mage's abilities.

Aaron's flying speed was much faster than the guild staff running on the main road, let alone the crowds who were busy saving themselves. Aaron didn't care about the guild staff. The sooner he got there, the better.

From afar, Aaron saw people wearing black uniforms fighting some guild staff, certainly with the guild office on fire.

Arriving above the guild office sky, Aaron instantly became the center of their attention, making them stop fighting for a moment.

"Who are you?" asked a Dark Legion member.

[Secondary Talent]

[Sub Talent Activated]

[Power of Nature Majesty]

[MP -22500]

[Name: Aaron]

[Additional MP: 197500] [-22500]

Before they knew it, the explosion happened to the Dark Legion members. There were 10 of them, all blown away with significant damage.

[Damage +7680]

[Damage +5470]

[Critical +14200]

[Three Combo! Great!]

"Akh!"

The guild staff turned their heads upwards, staring at Aaron, who they thought was the mysterious masked mage.

With Aaron attacking the Dark Legion, it was confirmed that Aaron was taking the side of the guild office.

"Liscia sent me to come and see the situation here. I didn't expect it. It turned out to be Dark Legion's do."

Aaron stood in the sky with a dignified stance. He ordered the other guild staff to focus on putting out the fire; Aaron would handle those 10 Dark Legion members.

"Thank you. You helped us a lot."

The young man took one step forward. In a flash of purple light, Aaron's presence was in front of the 10 Dark Legion members. They staggered, trying to attack Aaron with their martial arts skills.

Aaron parried, counter-attacked, and threw magic punches at them. It didn't deal significant damage, but it was enough to make them flinch.

"Damn! He's powerful."

"What should we do, captain?!"

"There's no other choice. We attack him to the best of our abilities."

The ten leapt back far enough while starting to emit their powerful magic auras. Aaron felt the fluctuations in their energy, but not enough to attack or cause significant damage to him.

Three people used fire elemental magic, four used light elemental magic, two used wind elemental, and one used earth elemental.

The combination of different elemental powers could create mighty ultimate magic.

"To kill you, I don't have to use my ultimate talent."

One by one, they managed to manifest their ultimate abilities in different forms according to their talents. Aaron looked at the magic while narrowing his eyes; none of them had a rank S talent.

'This is easy!' Aaron explained.

[Sub Talent Activated]

[Dimensional Explosion Orb]

[MP -50000]

[Name: Aaron]

[Additional MP: 147500] [-50000]

Sparks of purple light appeared at the tips of Aaron's two fingers. With a short upward move, that speck of light flew up and exploded in the sky, causing hundreds of dimensional portals to open. The Dark Legion members gasped, slightly unfocused at the sight of Aaron's power.

A gust of wind blew through, sending Aaron's hair whipping around with the young man's eyes focused on the Dark Legion members. Aaron smiled bitterly, sensing their fear.

"We will not lose!" shouted their captain, loudly encouraging his members.

They unleashed the ultimate attack of their sub-talents ahead. The fusion of energy from many elements made the scene outside the guild office bright and colorful.

Still, it wasn't a definite threat to Aaron, especially since two of his talents had Ascended to different stages. Of course, his strength would have increased much more than before.

Aaron moved his right hand to the front with two fingers pointing. Orbs filled with purple magic energy shot out from hundreds of Dimensional Portals directed at the 10 ultimate manifestations of the Dark Legion members' sub-talents.

BOM!

The energies clashed powerfully, creating a powerful explosion and a strong gust of wind. The explosion was magnified due to the barrage effect of the other energy collisions. Dark purple smoke soared from the Guild Office location.

Liscia could see it, her heart pounding wildly as she worried for Aaron's safety. Misa noticed Liscia's anxiety. She patted Liscia lightly on the shoulder and told her Lewis would be fine.

A battle of magical energy pressure was created, Aaron against 10 Dark Legion members. Aaron clenched his right palm to end the energy pressure and caused numerous purple orbs to shoot out endlessly from the portal.

The ultimate sub-talents of the 10 Dark Legion members were destroyed. They widened their eyes in disbelief at what happened.

Yet, their fear was greater as the mysterious mage's purple orb attack was still there and aimed at them.

BOM!

"AAAKKKKHHHH!"

The sound of pain filled the place, the guild staff who were focused on extinguishing the fire gasped with gaping eyes.

They didn't expect a mysterious mage to be able to defeat 10 Dark Legion members who had CPs above 60000.

[Damage +54600]

[Damage +45000]

[Critical +78600]

[Critical +82000]

[Four Combo! Great!]

With a short gesture to the side, Aaron cleared away the purple dust that filled the place. He walked slowly forward, each step followed by the purple energy fluctuations under his feet, seemingly terrifying to the enemy.

"What kind of power... is that?" asked the captain of the Dark Legion team.

"It's God's power!"
