Ruler's Awakening: Inheritor of the SSS-Rank Dimensional Talent-Chapter 176: Thin Thread of Conflict

Hearing Aerith’s approval, Arthur didn’t waste any time. He immediately activated the ultimate sub talent of his main talent, the man could bring forth dimensional rifts just by moving his two fingers across the dimensional boundary.

Purple magic light appeared and burned on the tips of two fingers of Arthur’s right hand. It scratched the dimensional boundary and caused a dimensional rift to appear.

The length of the dimensional rift widened sideways, then opened up in a huge gaping form.

People watched in fascination. What they saw in Arthur’s ability to create and connect dimensions, a power rarely held by mages.

Eve squinted, the power of the dimensional rift felt so powerful, it almost matched the power of the flame skull she got from Leon, the first seat of the Dark Legion.

’No! He won’t be able to push a skull of that size into the dimensional rift,’ Eve explained.

Arthur stretched his hand forward, a hand with purple light emanating from its fingertips. Slowly, two purple and sharp-hoofed monster hands stuck out from within the dimension and aimed forward, as if to catch the flaming skull in its grasp.

"Not only portal power, but also able to manipulate his magic in the form of giant hands," Jovanni replied, watching Arthur’s power in admiration.

"Yeah, not many mages can manipulate magic like that," Eloise replied, agreeing with Jovanni.

The purple-colored monster’s two hands successfully grasped the flame skull, gripping it with both hands to stop the skull’s pace.

The attack rate stopped, Eve gasped with her mouth gaping, not believing Arthur could stop the flame skull’s attack.

"Absorb!" Arthur said, clenching his right fist.

With the order, the two purple monster hands began to pull the flame skull into the dimensional rift. Due to the skull’s size, Arthur was forced to widen the dimensional rift.

In the end, the flame skull was completely absorbed into the Dark Dimension. Aerith looked below, then swung her hand briefly to enclose the flaming skull in a defense dome.

BOM!

The flame skull exploded and created a blaze of fire that burned everything, but the explosion only occurred in Aerith’s defense dome, not affecting the woman at all.

’I’ve dealt with the skull,’ Aerith explained.

Arthur cleared his throat in reply. The dimensional rift began to shrink and disappear completely, the two hands of the monster were pulled into the dimension along with the disappearance of the dimensional rift.

Now, the ultimate attack that could save Eve’s life has vanished. Arthur was not affected, even Eve’s attack to scratch Arthur’s magic armor could not.

One step ahead of Arthur, the man arrived at lightning speed before the injured and exhausted Eve. The woman tried to run away while begging Arthur for mercy, but Arthur didn’t care.

"The Dark Legion won’t come after you again. I promise!" Eve said firmly.

Arthur appeared before Eve who was flying away from the man, "I can’t trust people like you."

The man stretched out his hand and gripped Eve’s neck firmly. Now, being in Arthur’s grasp, Eve had no choice but to surrender.

His right hand gripped Eve’s neck and his left hand touched the woman’s forehead. Arthur’s eyes were closed, ready to crush Eve’s head with his magic.

"Please... forgive me, Sir Arthur," Eve replied, bursting into tears.

"Only death can forgive you, Eve!"

"Stop it, Arthur!" snapped a man, his voice thundering and echoing through the city. Stay tuned to novelbuddy

The rumble stopped what Arthur was doing. He put down his intention to kill Eve and looked to the south, beyond the walls of Lilith City.

There, he saw clearly a giant face projected from red magic, appearing in the sky above the black clouds. The direction of his eyes was directed down, looking at Arthur who was gripping Eve.

"Let Eve go, and I will let you live!" the man said.

Arthur glanced to the side, looking at Eve’s eyes carefully, "Who is he?"

"He is the Supreme Legion, the leader of the Dark Legion."

’Oh, he’s the Supreme Legion?’ Arthur asked.

Still holding Eve in his right hand, Arthur flew away from the Night Liberators’ territory district and appeared outside the city wall. He flew high into the sky and stared face to face with the Supreme Legion.

"If you had joined us, Dark Legion would have taken over the entire city!" said Supreme Legion.

"We’re really impressed that you’ve destroyed the 10th floor city. Well done, Arthur," described the Supreme Legion.

Jovanni, Eloise, and Max were shocked. It turned out that the man who had been fighting Eve was Aaron Lewis, a high-level fugitive from the Night Liberators.

Max was so furious, he flew from the Night Liberators’ territory district to see Arthur outside the city walls.

"Damn you, Aaron. You killed Gunther!" said Max.

"Shut up!" snapped Arthur.

He brought forth a powerful magic pulse that pushed the people of the Night Liberators. Max was hit by the blast, making it difficult for him and the others to fly closer to Arthur.

"Come to my base and let’s devise a plan to destroy the Night Liberators."

"Let Eve live, then I won’t threaten your life anymore," explained the Supreme Legion.

"Huft!"

’Having too many enemies is not a good choice. The Night Liberators are bad enough for me,’ Arthur explained.

He released his grip on Eve’s neck, making her cough from the impact of Arthur’s strong choke hold. Eve flew away from the spot, right near the Supreme Legion’s projected image.

"Thank you, Arthur," replied the Supreme Legion.

"Keep your word. If I see a single member of the Dark Legion targeting me again, I will not hesitate to kill them," Arthur threatened.

Not answering Arthur’s statement, the projected image of the Supreme Legion disappeared from Arthur’s view. Eve continued to stare at Arthur, then flew away from the scene in a wounded state.

One problem over, Arthur had to face another. He looked behind him, taking a careful look at Max and the other Night Liberators.

They were still flying low under the clouds, raising their heads to the sky and watching Arthur with hatred.

Gunther, the middle-aged man who had worked with them for a long time, died at the hands of that man.

Not just him, but Luke and the rest of the 10th Night Liberators were left in ashes. The Night Liberators’ existence on the 10th floor was completely wiped out.

"I will avenge Gunther’s death!" threatened Max, aiming his red flame magic ahead, at Arthur.

With a mere gesture of lifting his hand and stretching it forward, defensive magic was generated and was able to withstand Max’s flame elemental magic.

His attack had no effect, Max realized the difference in power between them was quite significant.

’How can I beat him? His power is so high, even the Supreme Legion respects him,’ Max explained, squinting at Arthur.

’Gunther’s death was caused by Mason. He broke my treaty with Gunther!" Arthur insisted, remembering Isabella’s tragic death at Mason’s hands.

"Is that why you destroyed the city?! Many residents of Lilith City are devastated by what happened on the 10th floor," Max’s aide, Pearl, snapped.

"My power is in my control. I decide whether I destroy a city or not!" said Arthur.

"Perhaps, I can destroy Lilith City just as easily as I destroyed the 10th floor city!" threatened Arthur.

He pointed his right hand at the sky, bringing up the rumbling of a huge black cloud that appeared in the sky of Lilith City.

The size of the rumbling storm was so large that it covered the area of one city, making many people frantic.

Sara and the others stopped their steps for a moment, raising their eyes and looking at the great power that could create a rumbling black cloud storm.

"What are you going to do, Arthur?" asked Eloise, softly.

Eloise and Jovanni sensed great danger from the rumble’s appearance. They declared an emergency alert as they ordered all members of the two groups to form a magical shield to protect the city.

Emily left Eloise’s side and flew quickly with her Griffin towards Arthur. Max looked back, Eloise’s sister flew above the cloud level to approach Arthur.

Arthur narrowed his eyes, then gasped in surprise as a mysterious girl dressed in a Sky Sword uniform appeared in front of him.

"You?" Arthur asked.

Emily stood up from Griffin’s back and jumped forward, approaching Arthur as if to hug him. Eloise flew over to the spot, shouting for Emily to come back.

Just as Arthur embraced Emily, a sky-blue light emanated strongly from their position. The man closed his eyes, the dazzling blue light could blind his eyes.

"I expected it," Emily replied, being in Arthur’s arms.

Eloise and Max, as well as several members of the Night Liberators and Sky Sword closed their eyes. The bright glare made it difficult for them to see what was going on between Arthur and Emily.

"What are you doing, Emily?" asked Eloise, worried.

Gradually, the 12-year-old girl turned into a 17-year-old teenage girl in Arthur’s arms, Arthur’s two hands holding her up in the sky, the man still flying using the power of his Venerable Sage.

’Wait! Isn’t she a 12-year-old girl? Why did she grow up so fast?’ Arthur asked.

Emily opened her eyes, looking into Arthur’s eyes with a big smile on her face.

"Thank you for helping me, Sir Venerable Sage."
