Chapter 73 Kill Before Being Killed
The day turned to night, Annie became excited when Aaron allowed her to join the monster raid this time. Yet, she hadn't told Aaron about her purpose for joining the monster raid.
After they prepared the supplies for the monster raid, Aaron began to invite them to walk to the Dark Pillar gate. Annie and the others agreed to what Aaron ordered.
"Do you know the characteristics of the Dark Pillar's fifth-floor boss?" Aaron asked, Annie shook her head.
"That kind of information can only be gotten by joining a major group, such as Sky Sword."
"An ordinary person like me wouldn't be able to know about that; there's so little information I can get."
Aaron cleared his throat. One of the benefits of joining a group was gaining relationships and information.
Daniels and Elsa on the fourth floor had invited Aaron to join, but he refused their invitation because of Aaron's desire to be independent.
Still, he didn't know how the situation would turn out in the future. The more Dark Pillar mazes conquered, the higher the difficulty level would be. Perhaps, joining the group on the upper floor wouldn't be a bad choice.
They walked on a dirt road in a vast green field. Looking ahead, Aaron saw another group of seven adventurers walking in the same direction to Dark Pillar.
Again, it seemed only Aaron's group had the least number of members for the raid. But, Aaron didn't feel worried because he knew what Annie, Isabella, and Sokia's capabilities were.
Arriving at the area around the Dark Pillar, it turns out that more than 20 groups of adventurers are there with their group members. Half of them come with knight-like armor and spread the proud flags of their groups.
Dimension Justice, Night Liberators, and Sky Sword joined the raid this time. Aaron narrowed his eyes and turned to the side, seeing Francesca leading the Sky Sword raid team directly.
"Look, Francesca. It's Aaron and Annie," replied a man, a member of Sky Sword's raid team.
Francesca quickly shifted her gaze from the front to the side, then smiled while bravely walking closer to Aaron. Aaron saw Francesca's attitude; it was enough to make Annie and Isabella cautious.
"I didn't expect you to join this raid. Am I not mistaken about the red title?" Francesca asked.
"Are you worried about my red title? I have a thousand ways to solve this."
"How about we join forces, Aaron?" offered Francesca.
Aaron and Francesca's conversation caught the attention of many people. Always on every floor, Aaron attracted a lot of attention.
The Night Liberators were there, they noticed that Aaron was a fugitive wanted by the entire group on the orders of the Night Liberators Branch on the tenth floor.
The Night Liberators raid team leader came close to Aaron, joining the conversation between Aaron and Francesca.
Before he spoke, the man had already shown his aggression by bringing up his fire talent to Aaron.
Aaron saw the man's behavior, being from the Night Liberators and having an unreasonable grudge against Aaron.
"You? Night Liberators?" Aaron asked.
"What are you gonna do? Kill me?!" said Aaron, confirming.
"This is an order from the Night Liberators branch on the tenth floor. Anyone who can arrest you, dead or alive, will be rewarded greatly."
"Attention, people!" said the man, loudly calling out to all the adventurers in the place.
The loud voice of the man made many eyes fixed on him. Aaron squinted, feeling that the man was trying to do something terrible to him.
"The Night Liberators will give you a big reward if you can arrest him during the raid. Just remember not to kill him, as we will try him under the Night Liberators' court!" the man ordered.
"How much is the reward?"
"50000 RL"
Hearing the high bounty offered made them ready to carry out the order. Isabella and Annie panicked. The situation was really not in their favor due to the impact of past events.
"Do you all want to stop me from raiding?!" said Aaron, furious.
"We don't have a problem with you, but the bounty the Night Liberators gave us is quite promising. It's easy for us to get you alive."
Aaron sighed. He pressed his system watch and opened the panel information section about the Raid Monster, which was about to open. The panel was immediately displayed before Aaron's face.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
[Monster Raid in Dark Pillar Tower will open soon]
[Countdown until Monster Raid Gate opens]
[00:02:35:45]
Two and a half hours were left until the monster raid opened. If Aaron did nothing to solve this problem, those guys would threaten his life and make him fail the floor.
Also, due to the restriction on killing while the compensation slip was active, Aaron could not do much after entering the Dark Pillar.
Aaron stretched both hands forward, gently patting the shoulders of Isabella and Annie, who stood protecting him. The touch brought their attention.
"You girls should go to the back and protect yourselves. I don't want you to get involved in this."
"What are you gonna do?!" asked Annie, sternly wondering.
"Do something to protect my objective!"
The young man stepped forward with a cold-eyed stare, both hands having already brought out purple flames from his dark magic manipulation. The people looked confused over the situation.
"Aerith?" called Aaron.
"What is it, Aaron?" asked Aerith, able to hear Aaron's words despite being blocked by the dimensional boundary.
"I'm gonna send everyone to the Dark Dimension. Can you help me with it?" asked Aaron.
"HAHA! Do you want me to kill them? Of course! I'll do it for you, dear."
People laughed out loud and were amused to watch Aaron talking alone like a lunatic. Some even thought Aaron was crazy because he dared to join the raid with a red title over his head.
Everyone knew the rule that an adventurer with a red title would not be able to join a monster raid. That was obvious.

[Name: Aaron]
[Additional MP: 985000] [-15000]
Aaron smiled. He had to thank Aerith because, after their sex, the young man got a huge amount of Additional MP, reaching 1000000 MP.
Now, Aaron no longer needs to worry about the MP amount in his body. He could cast the ultimate sub-talent of his main talent ten times in a row. That's a tremendous power.
Aaron soared through the sky to be seen by many people. His left hand was pointed behind him, providing a protective dome to his friends. Aaron didn't want them to get hurt.

Isabella widened her eyes with her mouth gaping, her hands reflexively covering her mouth. She truly knew what talent it was and why Aaron was using it. Annie noticed Isabella's unusual behavior.
'Is this his ultimate sub-talent? How powerful exactly is it to make Isabella behave like that?' Annie asked.
Aaron's eyes closed, imagining what kind of attack he could do. After getting enough of an attack vision, he opened his eyes and threw a purple sphere of light into the sky.
The purple magic circle was created in a vast size that almost covered the entire sky. People raised their eyes to the sky, looking at Aaron's power with their hearts beating uncertainty.
Experience tales at empire
"W-What is this power?"
"Are the Night Liberators asking us to catch someone as powerful as him?"
"This is insane! I'm more worried about my life than money!"
Aaron finished setting up his attack, thousands of dimensional rifts appeared all over the place, about the size of a human body.
"If you're planning to attack me, then I'll have to kill you all!"
"I don't care if everyone antagonizes me. My purpose is the Dark Ruler, and no one can stand in my way!"
People started running away from the place. But, Aaron thought faster than them. He set up a flagpole at the end of this place, which instantly emitted purple light to trap them.
Francesca was speechless and unable to do anything due to the powerful trap wall. She asked Aaron to release the Sky Sword with a guarantee that she would become his slave and obey his every command.
"Everyone here will die."
