Aaron removed the sword stuck in his body, then dropped it on the floor. He looked to the side, seeing the man from the Dark Legion fleeing through the window of the inn’s corridor.

"You can’t catch me, loser!" the man insulted.

"As long as you don’t go far from this inn, it’s easy for me to catch you!" said Aaron.

With the Venerable Sage’s ability, Aaron stepped one foot towards the corridor’s glass window. In the blink of an eye, Aaron’s figure completely disappeared from the place.

A strong magic boom occurred, stable magic fluctuations could be felt by the man who had threatened Aaron. He realized that Aaron was chasing him with his high abilities.

’Damn it! I thought he was just a Great Wizard!’ the man complained.

Although Great Wizard and Venerable Sage were only one different, the gap in strength between the two was huge.

If it was against Aaron who had reached the Venerable Sage stage, the man from the Dark Legion didn’t know whether he could defeat Aaron or not.

He looked back, never did he expect Aaron to be right behind him, catching up by walking on the floor of the sky, each one of his footsteps could span hundreds of meters with ease.

"SHIT!" the man shouted.

The man flew and turned around, he launched his attack forward to hinder Aaron.

It was the least he could do, the man should immediately go to the Dark Legion headquarters outside Noah City to seek protection.

"I hope that holds him back. He’s really troublesome!" said the man, flying with a gasp.

Ash-colored dust filled the cracks of the building. He could not see Aaron’s whereabouts from within the smoke.

A purple ball of light shot rapidly from within the puff of smoke forward, aimed at the man from the Dark Legion. The man gasped, both hands extended to create a magic shield.

A magic clash ensued, between Aaron’s purple ball of light and the Dark Legion man’s magic shield. However, the great intensity and large amount made it difficult for the magic shield to survive.

CRACK!

The magic shield shattered like broken glass, falling from the sky. With no more defensive magic, the purple ball of light hit the body of the Dark Pillar man, causing an explosion to occur above the alley.

It drew the attention of many people, including Elder Kang. With a flash, he left his location to approach the site of the explosion. He guessed it was a fight between Sky Sword members and Dark Legion members.

On Aaron’s side, his two eyes witnessed the body of a Dark Legion man falling from the sky, still in a dying state.

Thankfully. If he had died, then Aaron wouldn’t have been able to get any information from him.

"You can’t die!" said Aaron, stepping forward until he appeared in front of the man.

Aaron grabbed him by the neck and took him flying quickly leaving the location of the small alley. He had to get back to his room immediately to prevent anyone from seeing him. That could be a big problem.

From Aaron’s aura sensitivity, the man sensed a strong magic aura flying from the west. Unfortunately, Aaron realized who the owner of the magic aura was.

"Elder Kang and the members of Sky Sword!"

"I have to hurry," Aaron said.

Aaron flew past several buildings in the small alley. However, he realized that Elder Kang would notice him.

Purple magic light appeared on the two fingers of Aaron’s hand. With a sideways motion, he tore through the dimensional boundary and revealed a dimensional crack.

After the crack fully appeared, Aaron flew in with his hand still gripping the neck of the Dark Legion man.

The aura existence of the two instantly disappeared. Elder Kang, who had originally had a serious expression, now turned shocked realizing the magic aura fluctuations of the two people had vanished in a matter of seconds.

"Disappeared?" asked Kang.

"What’s wrong, Elder Kang?" asked one of his members.

"Check this area. Tell me immediately if you find any traces of magic!" said Elder Kang, obeyed by the rest of his special group.

They split up to comb the slums, from the alleys to the small houses. Elder Kang watched his men, his head wondering about the way the two disappeared from his detection.

’Did they use dimensional abilities? Aura detection can’t detect someone if they’re in a different dimension,’ Elder Kang explained.

’But who has dimensional abilities?’

From the Dark Dimension, Aaron stepped up while choking the Dark Legion man’s neck. He opened another dimensional crack that led straight to his lodging room. The journey came to an end.

Aaron arrived at his room and saw Aerith sitting relaxed, both hands holding a cup of hot tea.

Aaron’s appearance with the Dark Legion man did not surprise Aerith. She knew that Aaron was leaving because she could feel the boom of magic that the man released.

"So, did you catch him?" asked Aerith casually.

"Yes. However, the explosion invited Elder Kang to come."

"Don’t worry," Aerith replied.

She snapped her fingers, creating a certain barrier that was able to encase the space. Someone from outside would not be able to detect the presence of the magic aura of the room’s occupants.

"You don’t have to worry about them," Aerith explained.

Aaron nodded, he could feel Aerith’s detection-dampening magic wall was quite strong. Elder Kang wouldn’t be aware of their presence, even if Aaron used magic to make the man speak.

"So, who is he?" asked Aerith, looking down at the dying man.

"A member of the Dark Legion. He attacked me suddenly," Aaron explained.

"Did he think I could just die by being stabbed by a sword?"

"Get lost, you bastard!" snapped the man.

Aaron stepped forward, standing next to the dying man’s body. He placed one foot on the man’s neck, while asking the location of the Dark Legion headquarters on the 50th Floor.

"You won’t be able to get him to talk if you do that," Aerith said.

She reached out, wrapping the Dark Legion man in maroon magic. The harder Aerith clenched her hand, the man’s body seemed to be squeezed by a large hand.

"AAAAAKKKKH!" cried the man, starting to groan in pain.

"I’d better increase your suffering!" said Aerith.

Aerith sent her maroon magic energy forward, transforming into flames that instantly burned the skin of the Dark Legion man.

"OK! I’ll talk!" shouted the man, half of his body badly burned and on the verge of death.

The man chose to give Aaron the map slip rather than explain the exact location. It was because his body was weak from pain and dying.

Aaron accepted the map slip, then responded by nodding to Aerith. Quickly, Aerith killed the dying man with her maroon fire.

The Dark Legion man groaned in pain, begging for mercy many times and ready to cooperate with Aaron. However, Aaron flatly refused.

His body disintegrated, burning to ashes. However, his soul essence orb floated above the Dark Legion man’s black ashes.

Aerith handed the orb to Aaron, useful for raising the man’s soul essence level. Aaron was grateful.

He activated the map slip, displaying a vast 50th floor map panel. From the panel, Aaron could see a red dot in a forest called the Black Bough Forest.

’Is this red dot the location of the headquarters of the Dark Legion?’ Aaron asked.

"What’s wrong? Did you find something?" asked Aerith, walking over to Aaron.

"Yes. My guess is that this place is the headquarters of the Dark Legion," replied Aaron.

"Hmm. If so, do we need to check it out?" asked Aerith.

Aaron nodded. He already held a grudge against them, precisely when that man suddenly attacked him for no reason.

In an instant, Aaron changed his clothes from a nightgown, to a black shirt and trousers. Aerith smiled, she also changed her clothes into a casual suit that she thought was suitable.

"Let’s go," Aaron explained, Aerith nodded.

The two of them flew away from the place through the window of the room. Several people looked at the sky, there were two people flying with a strong magic boom.

Elder Kang looked over, the magic boom was very similar to the magic boom that had disappeared without a trace.

Still letting his members comb the area, Elder Kang flew out of the area to arrive near Aaron.

Aaron turned his head when he sensed Elder Kang flying towards him. Sure enough as Aaron had expected, Elder Kang would realize his magic aura.

"Stop!" pleaded Elder Kang.

Aaron stopped flying, and so did Aerith. Both of them floated in the sky and stared ahead, at Elder Kang.

The man apologized for stopping them from leaving. He began to explain his reason for stopping them.

"We’re tracking down someone who was involved in the explosion earlier. And you have the same magic aura as the culprit in the explosion," Elder Kang said.

"Sorry, Elder Kang. I can confirm that it wasn’t me," Aaron explained, Aerith added.

"That’s right. He went to breakfast with me downstairs at the inn. There’s no way he’d get involved in a fight like that."

Elder Kang squinted, it was possible that Aaron’s magic aura was just the same, it didn’t mean he was the culprit.

It was better to let go than to wrongly punish. That was what Elder Kang did.

"Alright. Sorry for interrupting your travel," said Elder Kang.

Aaron nodded. He flew away from the city towards the Black Bough Forest again, Aerith following behind.

"Do we need to follow them?" asked a member of Elder Kang’s special group.

"No, we don’t. They’re stronger than you, it’s useless for you to follow them."
