Ruler's Awakening: Inheritor of the SSS-Rank Dimensional Talent-Chapter 265: Sea Serpent Primordial Monster

***

Three days later.

81st floor.

Aaron did not expect that his life in the middle of the island felt safe and peaceful without any threat.

Most of the wild monsters roam the forest on this floor, none of them have the ability to cross the sea.

The man appeared to be sitting casually on the shore, right on the soft white sand. Both his eyes were closed, not asleep, but he was using his soul ability to explore the area on the 81st floor.

Unlike Aerith, the woman was still in the kitchen preparing dinner. Aaron provided her with cooking ingredients and Aerith knew how to cook well.

From exploring using his soul abilities, Aaron found several wild monsters with a level range between 550-570.

With such a level range, the powers of these wild monsters are equivalent to the power of an Archmage tier mage.

However, Aaron had not found anything since his soul exploration yesterday. No mage had appeared in the light stone, a sign that the ban on challenging the floor boss on the 80th floor was still in effect.

"At least I can be safe from Killian’s threat," Aaron explained.

From the direction of Dark Pillar Gate, there was no early sign that the monster raid would be opened.

Aaron sighed, apparently the notification about the monster raid would be opened tonight, so that on the fourth day, he could go back to challenge the floor boss.

However, there was one thing that kept haunting Aaron’s mind. It was about the availability of the 81st Dark Pillar map.

Previously, from the 1st to the 80th floor, maps were always available because the Dark Pillar had been explored hundreds or even thousands of times.

Many mages mapped the Dark Pillar labyrinth for commercial purposes.

However, this is different from the 81st floor. Aaron is the first mage in history to set foot in this place, so the maze map cannot be found because Aaron has to explore it first.

And that takes a lot of time. The higher the floor of the Dark Pillar, the more complex the maze becomes.

"With the increasing complexity of the maze on each floor, I doubt that I can fight the current floor boss right away," Aaron replied.

Even so, Aaron didn’t want to give up just like that. He was sure that there must be a certain way that would make it easier for the man to find the exact location of the 81st floor boss room.

"I have to use my clones to explore the place. The more clones that explore, the more likely it is for me to find the location of the floor boss," explained Aaron.

The soul exploration ended, Aaron pulled his soul from outside to return to his body. Slowly, Aaron opened his eyes and stood up after sitting cross-legged for hours in that place.

"I’d better talk to Aerith about this. She might have an opinion about the cloning plan in the maze," Aaron explained.

STOMP!

As Aaron was about to step back into the stone and wooden house, he was startled by a mysterious wave coming from underground.

He focused his eyes outward, seeing the surface of the sea, which was originally calm, now strongly undulating with a thud every second.

Aaron guessed that there was a giant monster under the sea that Aaron didn’t know about.

Aaron again sent a spark of his soul essence to explore the depths of the sea. Aaron’s eyes were closed, replaced by the vision of his soul.

At first, Aaron did not find anything under the sea, there was no suspicious activity from the sea monster.

However, the earthquake was not ordinary, there had never been a natural earthquake at the Dark Pillar Tower before.

He ventured further into the depths of the sea, until the sunlight could hardly penetrate the deepest point.

From there, how surprised Aaron was to see two bright red eyeballs. In an instant, the sea monster ate a glimmer of Aaron’s soul essence, leaving the man injured and vomiting blood.

"What was it? Leviathan? Kraken? Or Sea Serpent?" asked Aaron, wiping the blood from the corner of his lip.

Aaron flew up quickly, looking at the surface of the sea from the height of the sky. Sure enough, the diving soul had angered the giant sea monster.

The tremors of the earthquake were getting more intense, Aerith walked out of the house and saw Aaron floating in the air. She immediately asked about the cause of the earthquake.

Emerging from another part of the sea, a large sea monster’s tail surprised Aerith and Aaron. Not wanting to take any chances, Aerith flew closer to Aaron.

"What’s going on?" asked Aerith.

"It looks like we’ve been watched all this time by sea monsters. I found one and it’s huge," Aaron replied.

Sure enough, a giant sea serpent emerged from the surface and ate the small island where Aerith and Aaron lived. Aaron narrowed his eyes; he had never seen the monster before.

[Monster Details]

[Monster: Aqua Scaled Sea Serpent]

[Level: Primordial]

[HP: 5000000/5000000]

[MP: 10000000/10000000]

[Element: Water]

"What? A primordial monster? I didn’t expect them to really exist," explained Aaron.

"It’s a primordial-level monster. I can tell by its size and characteristics," explained Aerith.

"It is said that only the Great Rulers are capable of defeating it," replied Aerith.

"If it is indeed a primordial level monster, then I have a chance to get its soul essence," Aaron explained.

"That’s right. You can get it if you can defeat it," Aerith replied.

"However, you have to consider something else. The soul essence of the Primordial Monster is a material that Emily desperately needs," Aerith added.

"But with the monster’s Soul Essence, the level of your soul essence will increase rapidly, " Aerith continued.

Aaron was silent, his hands clenched tightly with the feeling of a dilemma that continued to haunt his mind.

Although he wasn’t sure if he could defeat the monster, he didn’t know what he would use the soul essence for.

"Can I defeat the monster?" asked Aaron, Aerith was silent for a moment.

"If you want to win this fight unscathed, you’ll have to reach the Young Great Ruler tier for sure."

"However, if you force yourself to fight this monster right now, you have about a 50% chance of winning," explained Aerith.

’Only a 50% win rate? How strong is this primordial monster, really?’ Aaron asked.

"What do you think, Aerith?" Aaron asked, looking back.

Aerith took a deep breath with her eyes focused downward, looking at the primordial sea serpent monster from the sky.

"You’d better not. Just wait until your magic is strong enough. Besides, no stupid mage would dare challenge the sea serpent. It will be safe here," replied Aerith.

"All right. I understand."
