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

"Joining one of the groups is not my style."

"I don't care about it. If you refuse, I can have Dimension Justice and the Night Liberators come over. Luke would be happy if he could chop off the head of the person who killed his brother," Andrew replied.

'So, Denis and Luke are brothers? I understand why he hates me so much.'

Andrew whispered something to Silvianna; Aaron couldn't hear what Andrew was saying. But, the young man was sure Andrew was telling Silvianna to do something.

"Get ready, Khan!"

"Of course, Master," said Genghis Khan, bringing out two curved Mongol swords.

Silvianna moved her right hand and brought forth a green sphere of light, which she sent straight up into the sky through the room's ceiling.

Aaron saw that, and it wasn't an attack magic. He wondered, what would Silvianna do?

THUMP!

The green orb exploded and released magic particles into the area around the inn. All Sky Sword members knew what the orb of light was and how much of a magical impact it had.

The green particles reached the ground, the trembling under Aaron's feet was felt so strong that he had to struggle to balance his body.

Unexpectedly, trees with thorny branches rose from the area outside the inn. There were many of them, and they seemed to be imprisoning this inn.

Aaron turned aside, looking at the vines on the outer wall of the inn all the way to his room. The vines continued to stretch until they blocked the exit door.

When Aaron tried to touch it, his fingertips were pricked and bled from the sharp thorns of the branches.

"The strength of a plant talent? Impressive."

"I had to use it because you didn't respond," Silvianna replied.

Inside the thorny branch, Aaron could feel the flow of magic from Silvianna's talent. It would have been easy for Aaron to destroy it and escape. Still, Andrew's threat made Aaron think twice about escaping.

"How desperate are you guys to trap me like this," Aaron said.

"Listen, Aaron. Let's make everything easy. I'll help you remove your red title if you join Sky Sword. They won't know you're Aaron," Andrew said, again giving Aaron an option, an advantageous one for him.

Joining Sky Sword is temporary until I reach the 25th floor. I can reach that in less than a year. I have nothing to worry about," Aaron replied.

"If I join you guys, can I ensure my safety on every floor of the Sky Sword base?"

"Of course. I'll give your team a distinctive slip to mark you as the tenth-floor Sky Sword Branch envoy team. They will definitely take care of you and serve you well."

Andrew spoke straightforwardly as if he had no objection to any of his proposed options. Silvianna was no different.

She was confident that Aaron would fail to reach the 25th floor and would have to give the flag to them.

Between the 11th floor to the 20th floor, the floor boss on the 18th was the hardest; even Andrew had trouble conquering it.

That was enough to convince Silvianna that Aaron could not climb up to Lilith City successfully.

"Alright."

"I'll join your group until the 25th floor."

Andrew applauded, satisfied with Aaron's decision. If any team from the Sky Sword Branch on the 10th floor could reach the 25th floor, then the Sky Sword leader in Lilith City would give a huge reward to the team and the tenth-floor city's Sky Sword leader.

As for the Authority Flag, Andrew actually wanted to have it for Silvianna. But, Silvianna's love for Harry made Andrew worried that she would give the Authority Flag straight back to Dimension Justice.

'My group has two Authority Flags now, which is quite beneficial even if only temporarily. I don't know if Aaron can make it to Lilith City. Let's hope he fails!' Andrew said, his deepest wish.

Silvianna deactivated her talent magic, the vines began to shorten and return to the ground. The situation was gradually conducive; Genghis Khan returned to Aaron's body as there was no significant threat.

'Dimension Justice cannot know that their flag is in Aaron's hands,' Andrew explained.

"To ensure the deal works, we have to do something."

"What?" asked Aaron, curious.

"Give you a slave seal."

'Slave seal? Ah, I understand. He's trying to keep the initial agreement while keeping watch in case I escape at any time,' Aaron explained.

Aaron was silent for a moment, continuing to stare at Andrew intently. It could be said that Andrew was the smartest person he had met up to the tenth floor. He seemed to have planned everything carefully without any flaws.

With no other choice, Aaron was forced to agree to Andrew's demand, including casting slave seal magic on him. Andrew turned to the side, and Silvianna nodded, understanding what her leader wanted.

She left Aaron's room and went to the inn's lobby. There, a lady from one of the legal slavery places in the city was waiting for her.

A woman dressed in a black dress and wearing a round hat, she was the most expert on slave seals.

After waiting for ten minutes, Silvianna arrived with a woman in a black dress following behind her. Aaron turned his head, looking at the woman who was going to cast slave seal magic on him.

"Who will become a slave?" the woman asked, looking at Andrew.

Andrew pointed at Aaron. Suddenly, the adult woman in the black dress turned her head and smiled. The woman nodded several times, with a handsome face and lean-muscular body. At times, the woman seemed to lick and bite her lower lip, a seductive look at Aaron.

'What's that? Is she fucking hyper?' lamented Aaron.

"To perform the slave seal ritual, all you need is blood from-"

Andrew picked up a small dagger kept in the desk drawer of Aaron's room, showing it to Elona -the woman in the black dress. The man said that he knew exactly what to do in the procession of making the slave seal.

Aaron was the same. He took off his clothes to be completely bare-chested before them. Sure enough, his low-fat muscular body made his muscle density high and hardened firmly.

Elona took the opportunity to stroke Aaron's chest and arms several times, Aaron parried her quickly.

"Just do your job, and don't seduce me!"

"Fine, you're a boring guy."

A trickle of blood flowed from the wound on Andrew's fingertip, dripping right into the magic ink bowl.

The droplet created a magical glow that flashed for an instant, then faded away. Elona picked up a paper useful for writing down agreements between slaves and masters.

Silvianna wrote down the contents of the agreement between them. Before being used in the slave seal procession, the woman showed the paper to Aaron. Aaron read it, having no objection to it.

Elona dipped the paper, which turned into black magic particles when it touched the magic ink. With that, Elona only needed to apply the ink to Aaron's chest without Andrew needing to emphasize his order again.

[Slave seal created]

[Host has become a slave]

[Master: Andrew]

[Age: 28]

[Level: 75]

[Talent: Black and White World]

[The host is required to obey the master's orders!]

Aaron clenched his hands firmly, his eyes closed tightly, feeling the force of the slave seal embedded in Aaron's chest.

About thirty seconds passed, the burning sensation in Aaron's chest faded, the black colored circle-shaped slave seal was perfectly formed.

Andrew looked at the slave system panel and read Aaron's brief status. He didn't expect that Aaron was already level 74.

Indeed, yesterday's battle against Dark Legion and Bright added a lot of EXP for him.

'He's not even 20 yet, but he's already at the Young Sage level. That's pretty impressive,' Andrew said.

The young man put his shirt back on, feeling no significant change from what had happened. Silvianna explained the consequences to Aaron.

"If you break the deal, the Authority Flag in your digital storage will disappear and come to Andrew."

"I know, after all, it's easy for me to reach the 25th floor fast."

"It's not that simple, Aaron. You have a team to look after, the weakest one of our group," Andrew said.

"How weak?"

"You'll see."
