"The more I improved the stage of my talent, the greater the amount of TP required to do Ascension."
"I'd better not rush about this."
Aaron turned aside and looked coldly at the guild staff squads from the arena. They arrived late. If Aaron hadn't arrived earlier, perhaps 10 Dark Legion members would have destroyed this place.
"Thankfully, you arrived faster. We are very grateful to you, sir."
"Make yourself useful. Help the people inside there," Aaron ordered.
They looked behind Aaron, seeing the other guild staff taking out important files to be saved, especially the mission forms that Ernest had not approved. They understood Aaron's meaning and went straight to their coworkers.
Aaron saw the city people begin to evacuate one after another, heading to a spacious field available for their evacuation. Some went to the bunker, but it was a priority for women and children.
The young man looked back, the situation was becoming more conducive in this place. Still, before the arena was freed from the confining magic shackles, then this invasion wasn't over yet.
"Damn it! What are they doing over there? Can't they beat Bright?!" cursed Aaron, annoyed.
While on guard near the guild office, Aaron was startled by the powerful sound of explosions coming from two different places.
The explosions were similar to those at the Guild Office; Aaron assumed their attack continued elsewhere.
"Jack, Rasputin, show up."
[Servant Activated]
[1. Jack The Ripper]
[2. Gregori Rasputin]
[MP -24000]
[Name: Aaron]
[Additional MP: 123500] [-24000]
The figures of two soul servants appeared before Aaron in white light. The members of the guild staff were speechless; the two people present by the mysterious mage were nothing but Soul Servants.
"Soul servants?"
"Wait! Does he have two soul servants? How powerful is he?"
Jack and Rasputin bowed their heads as they knelt in a submissive salute, "Your orders, sir?"
"You two go to the explosion sites and activate your double vision for me. I need to know what happened there," Aaron explained.
"What if it's the Dark Legion?" asked Rasputin.
"You kill them with your abilities."
"Fine!"
The two jumped high and flew in different directions, Jack flying southeast while Rasputin went west. Aaron closed his eyes while still standing, opened them, and could see what the two servants saw.
From Jack's location, Aaron saw a fierce battle between members of the Night Liberators against the Dark Legion.
There were 12 Dark Legion members fighting for the headquarters, even though the Night Liberators HQ was being guarded by hundreds of their members.
Rasputin shared his vision at Sky Sword Headquarters. The number of Dark Legion there was far more than at the Night Liberators' headquarters, around 24.
Still, due to the powerful strength of the Sky Sword members, they managed to repel the Dark Legion troops.
"How many Dark Legion forces actually invaded the city?" Aaron asked.
He looked back, seeing 25 guild staff guarding this place. Two places hadn't gotten any news about the Dark Legion invaders, the City Cathedral and the Dimension Justice HQ.
Aaron thought that hundreds of people from the Dark Legion must be dispersed throughout the city. Yet, their locations were still unknown.
Even if they used tracking magic, the coverage area could not be wide and comprehensive, let alone tracking in one big city.
There was no other choice; he had to wait for them to act and then respond while waiting for the battle in the arena to end.
Jack and Rasputin asked about their roles, whether it was necessary to help the Night Liberators and Sky Sword.
Knowing that the two groups could handle their problems well, Aaron gave specific orders to the two servants.
"Go to the City Cathedral, Jack. Guard the place against any possible Dark Legion attacks. Let me know if you see the Dark Legion invading there."
"Yes, sir," Jack explained, communicating with telepathic magic.
Aaron told Rasputin to be on standby at the Dimension Justice HQ. If the Dark Legion had attacked the Night Liberators and Sky Sword, it was certain that their next target would be Dimension Justice.
"I understand, sir."
The two soul servants got their own orders. Aaron was pleased. He began to close his eyes and return his vision to normal. Aaron turned around and saw many guild staff working together to save the files from the remaining embers.
"You don't have to worry about the Guild Office, Sir. We can handle it."
"You may go help elsewhere," a female staffer replied confidently.
"Alright. I'll keep my magic here just in case."
Aaron swung his right hand forward, throwing a glimmer of purple magic that stuck to the guild office wall. When it stuck, the magic flashed violet, but it faded as time passed.
"With it, they won't be able to destroy this building."
"Thank you, sir."
Aaron cleared his throat. He reactivated his secondary talent and flew out of the place quickly. Several women from the guild staff were mesmerized. They thought of the mysterious mage as an important helper in this situation.
"Liscia's eyes are truly sharp. She can find a man as strong as him."
"Never mind. Let's get on with the paperwork."
The young man flew in a different direction from the three major HQ locations. Aaron flew towards the surroundings of the Arena of Gallant, where the magic dome outside had been created to block out anyone.
He landed firmly outside the yellow magic dome. Liscia and Misa saw Aaron's arrival, big smiles spread across their faces despite realising Aaron held the title of murderer.
Liscia understood with the title, Aaron must have defeated many of the invading Dark Legion members. But, Liscia explained to Aaron that the red title could be removed with a certain magic.
"You don't have to worry. After everything is over, Harry will forgive you with his authority skill," Liscia replied.
"Yes, if he manages to defeat Bright in the battle there."
"Looks like they managed to defeat him, I'm sure of it," said Liscia, full of high confidence.
Aaron nodded. If Liscia believed that, then it was undeniable that Harry's and the others' abilities were much better.
The young man stepped inside after Liscia reached out through the dome wall. Aaron shook Liscia's hand and was now in the dome.
Half an hour passed, Jack and Rasputin had nothing to say about the attack on the place they were guarding. Aaron thought deeply, trying to understand the Dark Legion's plan.
'What's happening? Did the Dark Legion surrender?' Aaron asked.
'It can't be. They've come all this way to attack the city; they won't give up quickly.'
Aaron still ordered Jack and Rasputin to stay there, guarding against any possibility. Yet, something startling happened inside the Arena.
The six red pillars slowly faded away, making the Arena's lockdown magic disappear. Liscia smiled as she thought Harry and the others could defeat the Dark Legion in the arena.
Someone came out from inside the Arena hallway; Liscia smiled as she tried to approach him. But, one thing made Liscia's happy heart fade instantly.
The person coming out of the hallway was Bright, with his left hand holding Harry's decapitated head.
"What...?"
"This is impossible!"
Not only him but other members of the Dark Legion came out from other different hallways, 45 people with murderous gazes. Aaron clicked his tongue; the situation was definitely not in his favor.
In the other direction, 300 Dark Legion members gathered on the city's main street. All this time, they had been hiding in empty houses waiting for the moment Bright came out of the Arena of Gallant.
They cheered, victory already in the hands of the Dark Legion as Bright's left hand held Harry's head and the right hand held the Flag of Authority.
"If you don't wanna die, bow to me!" said Bright.
'Where are Andrew and Luke? Did they manage to escape?' Aaron asked, curious.
The situation was really tight. In front of Aaron, there were Bright and 45 Dark Legion members who had murdered many people in the Arena of Gallant. Behind, there were hundreds of Dark Legion members preparing for war.
Slowly, each Guild Staff member knelt down and kowtowed to Bright. If Harry, the strongest mage, could be defeated, then they could not fight Bright.
Among them, only Aaron was still standing firmly, refusing to bow. Bright narrowed his eyes at Aaron, intimidating the young man.
"You! Did you choose to die?"
"I don't really like the concept of bowing and kowtowing to save my life. After all, I don't feel threatened by you people."
"HAHAHA!"
"Are you an idiot? I've defeated Harry, the strongest mage in this city. Obviously, I'm the strongest one in the city!" said Bright.
Aaron laughed loudly as his arms crossed over his chest, "Really? Is it because of that stupid flag that you feel stronger than me?"
"Asshole! Hurry up and kill him!" shouted Bright; dozens of people charged forward with a murderous aura.
