Ruler's Awakening: Inheritor of the SSS-Rank Dimensional Talent-Chapter 194: Aaron Lewis’ Second Clone

"Creating a group?" asked Eloise, squinting.

"Correct."

Aaron stepped closer to Eloise and stood right beside Aerith, "I know this is a ridiculous ask, but I need you to help me establish a group, starting with this city."

Eloise paused, thinking of the various possibilities that might occur. For a group leader, helping someone establish another group unaffiliated with her group was the same as raising an enemy in the future.

Whether or not the group Aaron founded would become a competitor to Sky Sword. Still, given the long history of the three major groups, Eloise felt that Aaron’s group would probably only be high tier.

"To establish a group, you must understand a few things. It will take time and effort," Eloise explained, looking towards the hall’s door.

"I still have many guests to meet. So, if you don’t mind, I’ll explain tomorrow while I empty my schedule," replied the woman.

Aaron nodded. He didn’t mind if Eloise wanted to explain the details tomorrow. On the other hand, he could prepare and find a lot of information about setting up a guild by visiting the guild office or asking other guild leaders —not Jovanni or Max.

The man sighed, nodding in agreement to what Eloise had said. They would come to this HQ at precisely nine in the morning, Eloise would arrange a schedule to meet with him.

"Aldo," Eloise called, Aldo nodded to the woman.

"Take them to one of our lodging houses. Let them stay in our compound," Eloise pleaded.

"I’ll do that."

Eloise explained that they could stay in one of Sky Sword’s lodging houses, intended for their guests visiting from afar.

However, due to the special nature of Aaron and Aerith’s presence to Eloise, the woman had no objection to them staying in the house.

Aldo stepped closer to Aaron and Aerith, the man inviting them to start walking after him. Now, the only ones left in the hall were Eloise and Emily.

"I had expected that."

Emily turned her attention to the side after Aaron and Aerith left the hall. Eloise said it like she had expected something, Emily thought Eloise’s words were related to Aaron’s request.

"Is this because of his wish?" asked Emily, Eloise cleared her throat in agreement.

"A group’s capability is decided by their leader’s managerial skills, the number of members and their level, and their leader’s ability."

"Usually, mages look at the number of members, their level, and their leader’s ability. If they have a lot of members with an average tier of three, then new members are attracted to join," Eloise continued.

"Then what about the leader’s ability?" asked Emily. Find your next read on novelbuddy

Eloise again explained that the situation was quite favorable for Aaron. His level reached over 300, with him in the 4th tier as a Venerable Sage.

Eloise said he might be able to attract many members to join as they saw Aaron’s high level.

They felt confident, they thought they could bet a lot on their leader, and they hoped their leader could help them achieve their dreams.

That was what new members thought when they realized the leader of a new group had a high-tier level.

"If that is the case, then we must stay vigilant. Aaron’s wish could be the trigger for new competitors to emerge," Emily explained. Eloise smiled at what her sister said.

"Competitors at High rank, perhaps. However, being a competitor among the three major groups is difficult or even impossible," Eloise explained.

Credibility was one of the crucial factors that distinguished the three major groups from the groups at High Rank. Credibility was built on people’s trust, trust that grew because of the deeds the group did.

Earning people’s trust takes time, not a single instant at a time. That was why Eloise was confident Aaron’s group would not be able to compete with them.

"We should keep an eye on them," replied Eloise.

"How?" asked Emily.

Eloise smiled as she looked to the side. Her plan was devious, but she did it solely to keep Sky Sword conducive. After all, Aaron’s group would probably shake Lilith City with its hype.

Elsewhere, Aldo pointed out a place that could be a temporary home for Aaron and Aerith.

The house seemed luxurious, with two floors, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, four bedrooms, and a large backyard. Aldo ensured the two would be comfortable living in the house for a while.

"This is where you will stay. As for food supplies, you don’t have to worry. The fridge and pantry are fully stocked," Aldo explained.

"Thanks," Aaron replied, nodding.

"That’s not a problem. I did what Eloise told me to do," Aldo replied.

Not wanting to stay long, Aldo went to say goodbye to them. Aaron nodded and watched Aldo step back into the HQ building. Now, only Aaron and Aerith were in the house.

"If you want to establish a group, then you’ll have to stay here for a while. It’ll disrupt your plans to raid monsters," Aerith explained, looking sideways at Aaron’s face.

"No, you’re wrong. Besides, I have another more effective way."

She stepped into the front yard and sat cross-legged on the garden grass. Aaron closed his eyes and began to emit his magic aura, activating one of his talents.

Aerith stepped back, following Aaron, and kept watching what Aaron was doing.

[Additional Talent Activated]

[Sub-Talent Activated: Origin Clone]

[MP -80000]

[Name: Aaron Lewis]

[MP: 999000/1375000] [-80000]

Aaron’s eyes opened gently, the purple light from Aaron’s base element began to split and form Aaron’s figure according to his true form.

That’s right! Creating his own clone that would be assigned to the 25th floor. The ability of Aaron’s clone, who was at the fourth tier as a Great Wizard, was relatively high compared to the tier three leaders of the three major groups.

Slowly but surely, the purple light figure condensed and formed a new Aaron clone, sitting cross-legged before Aaron’s original body.

Both of Aaron’s clone’s eyes were closed, still waiting for the cloning process to finish.

While waiting, Aaron again implanted a speck of his soul consciousness to the front. A sphere of soul light flew and entered Aaron’s clone’s body, making the clone completely act on Aaron’s consciousness.

[Cloning Completed]

[Number of Clones: 2]

[Input Name: ...]

[Level: 164]

[Mage Tier: Great Wizards]

[HP: 245000/245000]

[MP: 260000/260000]

Calmly, both of Aaron’s clone’s eyes opened. His initial response was the usual demeanor, considering he already knew who he was and who the person before him was.

Aaron’s purple magic returned to him, radiating steadily with a not-so-strong magic pulse. Aaron deactivated his magic aura and allowed the situation to become conducive to the place so that he could talk comfortably with the clone.

"Do you understand your main duties?" Aaron asked. The clone shook his head without speaking.

"Your name is Lewis; you’re part of me. Whatever you do, I can see it."

"I understand," explained Lewis, nodding slowly.

"I’ve given you a major duty, which you must not abandon or forget."

"I plan to establish an adventurer group on the 25th floor. I will be the one to establish it through the guild feature I have, while you will be in charge of being the group leader," Aaron emphasized.

Lewis and Aaron talked about many things, starting from the recruitment process, relationships, and then about the main principles of the group.

Aaron did not hesitate to explain everything with the condition that Lewis should not tell anyone about the primary purpose of setting up the group.

"Deceiving them just to help you go higher up. Isn’t that a bit cruel?" asked Lewis, still preserving his morality.

"No, it’s not. You are me; I am you. Everything is done for your sake; they will grow with the group, and the benefits will come to me."

"I understand."

"Then what’s the name of our group?" asked Lewis.

Aaron was silent for a moment, then reflexively raised his head and looked at the clear city sky without a single cloud.

He had already come up with a name for his group, one that suited his objectives.

"Shadow Ruler!"
