Ruler's Awakening: Inheritor of the SSS-Rank Dimensional Talent-Chapter 148: Aaron vs Entire Night Liberators 10th

Feeling like there was something urgent to take care of, Luke headed in a different direction toward the back. Mason followed him wherever he went, sensing Luke’s eagerness to confront Aaron.

’Are they going to fight? If they do, their battle might destroy the entire city,’ Mason thought.

Mason turned to see a strong red magical aura radiating from Luke’s body, as if he was already prepared for the fight.

They passed by Andrew and Silviana, who had just arrived at the meeting hall. Andrew eyed Luke curiously.

"Where are you headed? The meeting’s about to start," Andrew asked.

"Aaron stopped by my base. As a good host, I should greet him properly, right?" Luke replied.

Luke summoned a massive griffin, a level 7 beast servant, from his aura. Andrew narrowed his eyes, his forehead creasing at the mention of Aaron’s actions.

"I’d be delighted if you’d help me kill him, Andrew," Luke said, climbing onto the griffin’s back.

"Aaron killed Bright, and Bright took down Harry, who was the strongest mage in the city."

"I’ll watch your fight. But if it threatens the city, I won’t have a choice but to step in!" Andrew declared, trying to present himself positively to Luke while concealing his alliance with Aaron.

"Sure. Do whatever you want."

With a powerful gust of wind, Mason and Luke left the meeting hall. Andrew let out a heavy sigh as Silviana asked what he and the Sky Sword were planning to do.

Andrew clenched his fists, frustrated with Aaron’s reckless decision to confront the Night Liberators instead of investigating first. This could lead to an even greater disaster than the Dark Legion’s invasion.

"Order the Sky Sword members to spread out across the city, secure the perimeter, and tighten security."

"This fight will weaken the city’s defenses. I’m worried the Dark Legion might take advantage of this chaos to launch another invasion," Andrew warned.

Silviana nodded and took off, flying fast with a gray light trailing her through the city skies as she returned to the Sky Sword base.

Andrew remained outside the meeting hall, gazing at the ominous red warning sign glowing brightly in the city sky.

’You’re such a fool, Aaron. A complete fool!’ he muttered under his breath.

Canceling the meeting, Andrew took off toward the Night Liberators’ base, flying as fast as he could to witness the fight between Aaron and Luke.

With Aaron’s incredible abilities, Andrew feared he might completely destroy the Night Liberators.

Elsewhere, Aaron sensed a powerful magical fluctuation coming from behind him. He smirked and turned to see Luke and Mason arriving on their beast servants.

’Looks like they’re here,’ Aaron thought.

"Aaron!" Luke shouted, his voice echoing powerfully.

"Luke. Where are you keeping Isabella?!" Aaron demanded without hesitation.

The deployment of a large number of Sky Sword members shocked the entire city. Residents began to wonder what was happening.

Liel and Sokia rushed out of their inn and questioned one of the Sky Sword members, shocked to learn that Aaron was at the center of a confrontation with the Night Liberators. They hurried toward the Night Liberators’ base, spotting Aaron hovering in the sky.

"A-Aaron?" Liel stammered in disbelief.

The perimeter around the base was tightly secured by Sky Sword. No one was allowed closer for their own safety.

Liel and Sokia had no choice but to comply, unable to assist Aaron. From their position, Liel saw a gray light streaking through the sky near the Night Liberators’ base.

It was Andrew, the captain of Sky Sword. Unaware of the full story, they assumed Aaron was in a dire situation.

Ernest and the Great Elder looked up at the glowing red warning symbol. Ernest ordered the guild office staff to secure the residents and start evacuations.

The Great Elder, smiling at Aaron’s presence, quietly instructed the Knight Templar members to stay alert. If the battle endangered the cathedral, they would act immediately.

"Luke is clearly set on killing Aaron," Ernest remarked.

"Denis was killed by Aaron. Luke won’t let his brother’s death go unavenged," the Great Elder replied.

Above the Night Liberators’ base, Aaron and Luke began to clash. Aaron demanded Isabella’s location, but Luke refused to reveal where she was.

"You leave me no choice, Luke!" Aaron warned.

Aaron flew higher, bringing his hands together to activate his talent. Luke grinned, eager to witness Aaron’s true abilities.

[Talent Activated.]

[Sub-Talent Activated.]

[Dimensional Dark Portal]

[MP -80000]

[Name: Aaron]

[MP: 184500/357000] [-80000]

A purple light shimmered at the tip of Aaron’s right fingers. He extended his hand forward, firing the energy into the sky above the Night Liberators’ base.

The blast radiated magic energy throughout the area, creating thousands of dimensional portals from which massive monster hands—each as large as an adult man—began emerging.

The Night Liberators’ members panicked, scrambling to dodge the monstrous hands. But the hands appeared too quickly, catching many off guard.

Several members were severely injured, their bodies ripped apart. This only fueled Luke’s anger.

[WARNING!]

[Host has committed murder against another adventurer]

[Calculating total casualties!]

[Initiating additional punishment for the Host!]

[Punishment decided!]

[Forbidden to raid monsters on any floor for 10 attempts]

[Host will be marked with a specific title]

[Host will receive the title upon committing murder. Title cannot be changed]

[Duration of red title usage:]

[09:23:59:59]

"Aaron!" Luke roared.

Aaron grinned as the punishment panel reappeared in front of him. The sheer number of casualties had resulted in harsher penalties. Yet, the red title was nothing new to him—it almost felt routine.

Luke activated his own talent, summoning a massive fire dragon from a glowing red magic circle. Aaron squinted, sensing a strong magical fluctuation, though it wasn’t quite as overwhelming as his own power.

But it wasn’t just Luke—several other members unleashed their magic as well. Some fired magical swords, blazing fireballs, raging windstorms, or massive black serpents, all aimed directly at Aaron in an attempt to kill him.

Aaron’s violet eyes glowed brightly, signaling his use of his purple magic. With his left hand outstretched, his magic formed a giant monster hand that caught their incoming attacks. With a single crushing motion, he destroyed their combined magic in one powerful grip.

BOOM!

The explosion lit up the sky with dazzling magical particles in a spectrum of colors. Aaron smirked; dealing with their attacks was effortless. Still, he remained cautious of Luke’s power.

To reduce collateral damage, Aaron relocated hundreds of dimensional portals away from the Night Liberators’ base to an area nearby.

The portals reappeared in front of him, and their monstrous hands reached out to intercept Luke’s fire dragon.

GRIP!

Aaron successfully caught the dragon, but it retaliated with a powerful burst of searing flames. He quickly conjured a protective violet barrier to shield himself. The intense heat caused cracks to form in the barrier, but it held firm.

"Shatter!" Aaron commanded.

The monster hands tightened their grip, crushing the fire dragon. The resulting shockwave sent Luke flying backward, and the impact rippled beyond the base.

Andrew, still observing nearby, was forced to shield himself with his magic from the explosion’s aftermath.

’He crushed Luke’s fire dragon so easily. That purple magic is terrifying,’ Andrew thought.

Luke could feel his subordinates’ astonished gazes on him, especially after Aaron had annihilated his most powerful summon.

Embarrassed and determined not to lose face, Luke made up his mind—Aaron had to die, no matter the cost.

"Everyone, combine your powers!" Luke ordered.

"We’re taking him down with everything we’ve got."

Aaron deactivated his talent, watching curiously as Luke began forming intricate hand signs. Something about it seemed strange and unfamiliar to him. Stay updated via novelbuddy

The Night Liberators’ members sat cross-legged in unison, channeling their magic into Luke’s body. Luke completed his hand signs, biting his fingertip and smearing blood onto his right palm before thrusting it forward.

A deep rumbling echoed across the sky above the Night Liberators’ base, plunging the city into an eerie, unnatural darkness. Andrew, recognizing the spell, was visibly alarmed.

’You’re insane, Luke. That spell could destroy half the city just to kill him!’ Andrew yelled.

"I don’t care!" Luke bellowed.

"Today, Aaron dies."
