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

"I never thought that another group was planning to kill us? Are they the Night Liberators?" asked Liel, curious.

"Only they keep hunting my life. It's probably because I killed Denis."

Aaron looked to the side, his eyes locked on Liel intently, "Listen, Liel. Don't tell Isabella or Clara about it. It will make them worry."

"Do you understand?" asked Aaron.

Liel gasped, then sighed while responding with a head nod. She realized Aaron's anxiety seeing the current situation.

The best choice that could be made was to remain calm and always be alert.

Aaron asked Liel to immediately return to her room and relax. The young man needed to clean up the glass shards that were scattered on the floor from the impact of the stone-throwing from the mysterious group.

The door to Aaron's room closed, the young man soon called Jack and Rasputin to come before him now.

White light flew freely and fell into place before Aaron, then materialized its body into the figures of servants Jack and Rasputin.

[Servant:]

[Servant Activated]

[1. Jack the Ripper]

[2. Grigori Rasputin]

[MP -24000]n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Your orders, Master?" asked Jack, kneeling to salute.

"You take a look at this stone," Aaron said.

Jack opened his eyes, as did Rasputin. Through their servant's vision, they could see traces of magic on the stone.

Possibly, the person who caused the trouble did some physical strengthening to throw the stone at the glass window of Aaron's bedroom.

"I see a faint trace of magic from someone," Rasputin replied.

"I want you to go find and bring them here alive. I need to know who they are."

"Alright."

The two servants disappeared, then took to the air and began searching the area around the inn, matching the traces of magic left on the stone with the people's magic.

There were indeed many people in this town; their magic might have been the same. Still, the gestures of a criminal would look suspicious. That was the person Jack and Rasputin had to find.

Aaron stood up, stepped closer to the room window, and looked outside, watching the city's main street.

Unfortunately for Aaron, he didn't see who the people were, so he couldn't give Jack and Rasputin the images of the faces in his mind.

"Night Liberators! If you have the nerve to fight me, I will fight you with everything I've got."

***

Two days later.

Fourth Floor City.

[ANNOUNCEMENT!]

[Monster Raid in Dark Pillar Tower will open soon]

[All adventurers are requested to prepare]

[Countdown until Monster Raid Gate opens]

[00:11:59:43]

Just as Aaron was chilling in his bedroom, the Monster Raid notification panel popped up before him.

He clearly saw the countdown time of 12 hours since the appearance of the panel, at 8 am.

That indicated the dark pillar Monster Raid on the fourth floor would occur at 8pm. Excitement could be heard from outside. Even Aaron could faintly hear it when he was in the room.

He got up from his sprawled position on the bed, sitting on the edge while watching the panel.

It was time for him and the others to return to the monster raid. The sooner he went through the raid, the sooner he could climb to the highest floor.

The door was knocked, Isabella and the others were there, showing the Monster Raid notification panel. Aaron said yes with a smile. Aaron would also go with them if they really wanted to do it.

"We should go to the store to buy the necessary items," said Isabella.

"I agree with that."

The three women said goodbye and promised to return to the inn before eight in the evening. Aaron did not mind as long as the three of them were always cautious, Liel fully understood Aaron's concern.

The search of Aaron's two servants turned up nothing. There was a possibility that they had already run away from the inn for more than 1km —Jack's widest range.

Aaron was fairly confident that the Night Liberators carried out the terror of the day, as they were the only ones who held a grudge against him.

Still, it was pretty baffling that they didn't make an immediate arrest if they knew Aaron's whereabouts?

'It's been two days since the window-breaking terror; no other terror has appeared. Are they watching my moves?' Aaron asked.

'I'd better talk to Daniels about this. Maybe he can help me.

Aaron opened his bedroom window and activated the neutral gravity step talent from his Gravity Manipulation talent.

[Secondary Talent Activated]

[Sub Talent Activated]

[Neutral Gravity Step]

[MP -15000]

The talent activated allowed Aaron to float freely. He immediately flew out of the bedroom window to go to the Daniels residence. Aaron's leaving by flying through the air certainly sparked many people's eyes.

Liel turned her head and looked up, her eyes widened with her mouth gaping watching the young man she knew flying without wings or servants in the city sky. Liel realized that Aaron had other skills he was trying to hide.

"Look! There's a mage flying in the sky."

"Woah! Is he the captain of the three major groups?"

"I don't know, but his face looks handsome, I think."

From a distance, Aaron saw the Daniels residence guarded by guards as usual. They gasped as they immediately put up an alert stance as they realized a young man was present and standing tall in the air.

"Who are you?" asked one of the guards.

"I want to see Daniels. Tell him Lewis is coming to visit."

"If you want to come in, we'll have to check your identity and appointment with the captain!" said another guard.

"That's fine."

Daniels' voice rang through the place, coming out of his residence with Elsa by his side, keeping him company. Daniels' presence made the two guards bow obediently.

"Captain Daniels."

Daniels arrived at the front gate of his residence, as did Elsa. Both raised their eyes to the sky, gazing intently at Aaron's figure.

"So, can we talk in my office, Aaron?" Daniels asked.

'Did Elsa tell him my real name?" asked Aaron, curious.

Aaron arrived on the ground and deactivated his talent. Two guards let Aaron in after Daniels invited him inside. Aaron went to follow Daniels and Elsa from behind.

"Did Ms. Elsa tell you everything about me?" asked Aaron.

"No, she didn't. I forced her to talk. I thought Lewis was a stupid name to use as a pseudonym," Daniels replied, looking back at Aaron.

The three entered Daniels' residence, walking until they reached the office. There, Daniels invited Aaron to sit on the couch.

"So, are you coming now regarding the Night Liberators?" asked Daniels, Aaron clearing his throat in agreement.

"That's right. Two days ago, mysterious people threw rocks at my room at the inn. I think they were members of the Night Liberators."

"I don't think that's possible," Elsa replied, surprising Aaron.

"Why?"

"The Night Liberators base is located next to a hill. This is a small town, but they couldn't have tracked you down until they knew where your room was."

"She's right, Aaron. There are thousands of people in this town, and it's impossible to track you when they don't know what you look like."

"I think the person who terrorized you is the one who probably knows the location where you are staying."

Aaron was silent for a moment, his eyes squinting sharply, trying to pull a red line from the events this time. His eyes widened; only one person could be the mastermind of all this terror.

"It's Elvan!"
