Ruler's Awakening: Inheritor of the SSS-Rank Dimensional Talent

The magic barrier wall began to disappear. The troops guarding the north gate were cleaning and repairing the place.

Elsa's arrival, with the power of her terrifying ice talent, made the orc monsters run away from the area.

The woman stepped closer to Aaron, who was sitting close to the medical team of the north gate guards. Her eyes looked with a cold expression; Aaron still didn't do anything.

"What's wrong?"

"Come with me. The Leader of Dimension Justice wants to see you," Elsa asked, her expression flat.

'What does he want from me? Does he want to invite me to join them?' Aaron asked.

"Just give me the reward. I have no desire to see him," said Aaron.

"You'll get your reward."

The woman's eyes were still fixed firmly on Aaron. The conversation between the two became more of a concern for the other members of the north gate guard.

From the gate, Isabella and the others arrived and saw Aaron talking to a woman dressed in typical adventurer style, which seemed luxurious and classy.

"Aaron?" called Isabella. Aaron glanced briefly to the side.

Isabella knelt beside Aaron while Liel and Clara stood before Aaron, protecting the young man from the white-haired woman's intimidating look.

"What are you gonna do to him?" asked Liel.

"Calm down, Liel. She's not our enemy."

Elsa nodded, confirming what Aaron said. She explained she was the Leader of the Sky Sword group, one of the three major groups that had established the small town on the fourth floor.

Having realized the person before her was the group leader made Liel gasp. She and Clara no longer showed their cautious stance; instead, they allowed Elsa to talk to Aaron again.

"Is she your friend?" asked Elsa, Aaron cleared his throat in response.

"Then the four of you should come with me. You were invited directly by the Leader of Dimension Justice to talk," Elsa replied.

"I don't know what your contribution is, but since you're Aaron's friends, I'm sure you're quite helpful to us in the current situation."

"They helped evacuate the people. That's all you need to know, Leader Elsa!"

Elsa was even more convinced to take the four of them away since they had their own contributions. Aaron nodded.

If the promised reward was at the Dimension Justice Leader's residence, he had to meet Daniels.

When they were about to leave, Isabella held Aaron's hand tightly. It caught Aaron's attention until he looked back, watching the anxious face of the woman who held him.

"Can we talk for a minute, Aaron?" asked Isabella.

Aaron glanced forward; Elsa was heard sighing while ruffling her waist. She gave Aaron and Isabella five minutes to talk, which was more than enough for Isabella.

The two stepped far enough away from Elsa's and the other's positions. Aaron didn't know the reason for Isabella's worried look, something that rarely happened to her.

"She will take us to the residence of the Dimension Justice Leader. Is there a chance that the Leader of the Night Liberators will be there too?" Isabella asked.

"Night Liberators? Are you afraid because they're still hunting us?" asked Aaron. Isabella said yes with both hands increasingly grasping Aaron's arms firmly.

Aaron was silent for a moment, then turned his eyes occasionally to watch Elsa's. The white-haired woman was still watching Aaron from a distance.

The young man understood the risks if they were caught by the Night Liberators, especially since Aaron had killed Denis the other day. He had no other choice but to talk to Elsa about this.

After soothing Isabella's heart, the two stepped closer to Elsa. Aaron had an idea to make them safe from the Night Liberator's threat. Elsa could not help but agree with Aaron's suggestion.

"What's wrong? What are you talking about?" asked Elsa.

"I'll come with you under one condition. Are you willing to listen?"

"I'm listening."

***

Dimension Justice Chairman's residence.

Fourth Floor City.

Elsa arrived after walking from the north gate. Aaron and his group members followed Elsa from behind.

Elsa already knew Aaron and Isabella's worries. The woman confirmed that they would be fine.

The residence of the Dimension Justice Leader was a vast house in the style of modern European architecture, with a beautiful flower garden and a large courtyard.

She glanced to the side, looking at the gatekeeper of the Dimension Justice Leader's residence.

[ID confirmed]

[Name: Elsa]

[Position: Leader of Sky Sword Group]

[Host allowed to enter]

Elsa nodded after showing proof of her identity validation through the system watch. Just as the gatekeeper was about to check the identity of Aaron and the others, Elsa stopped her steps and looked back.

"They're coming with me. You don't have to be so strict!" said Elsa.

"This is a common procedure, Ms. Elsa. I have to—"

"Do you not believe me?" asked Elsa, showing the blue aura typical of her ice talent.

The woman's immense power drew the attention of many people. Daniels felt a familiar energy fluctuation in his courtyard. He stepped closer to his study window and saw it was Elsa.

"I called them. You can let them in!" Daniels ordered, and the gatekeeper complied.

Elsa and the others stepped through the paving block road inside Daniels' courtyard, the flowers blooming pleasantly to Isabella's eyes, butterflies fluttering and settling on some of the flower stalks, a natural process of something she had rarely seen.

The residence door opened, and a maid dressed in black, typical of a maid, arrived. She would gladly escort Elsa and the others to Daniels' study.

'He was able to create such a large house despite being in the Dark Pillar? Is there a feature to build a house like this, or did he build it with the help of workers?' Aaron asked, curious.

There were three floors in the house. The first was used as a hall or meeting room, the second was the office of the Leader and the captains, and the third was a private room for the Leader and his family to rest.

"Do people who have the position of group leader get facilities like this?" asked Liel, curious that Alisha didn't have a house this fancy.

"A house feature will be unlocked if you reach level 70. If you want more, then you have to do an expansion," Elsa replied.

"Expansion?"

"You'll find out after you reach level 70."

"Do you also have your own house?" Aaron asked. Elsa cleared her throat as she continued to walk, following the maid.

"I do. It's not as big as this, nor is it very small. My house category is in the middle class."

'I'm really curious about the features of the house.'

The maid stopped walking, she pointed out a room where Daniels worked. The woman knocked on the door, and Daniel's voice invited them to enter.

The door opened, a man in a mage suit and tall build was in the room. His dandy-style black hair made him look elegant, adult, and dignified.

"So, you're the man who guards the north gate of my city?" asked Daniels, looking at Aaron.

"My name is Lewis. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Daniels."

The only way to disguise his name was to change it. Lewis was Aaron's last name, but no one would know him.

"Lewis. I would like to thank you for helping us. As Elsa said, I will give you a reward," Daniel replied, stepping closer to Lewis.

"Tell me. What do you want?" asked Daniel, curious.

Aaron was momentarily silent, then took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "I want 10 MP Crystal Level 3 and ability-enhancing items for my team."
