Dimension System: SSS Rank Talent Awakening

---

The Saints ranks were having a meeting in a government office with each others how to deal with the current situation.

Some Saints were very arrogant, said it's very trivial problem to take action by a saint rank. Mocking government officials to, calling them for such a small problem.

Raghnall Ferrin stood up said this isn't some random problem. They need to work together. All the beast that were coming through gates are very strong.

Lowest rank beast are abyssal level it's only the beginning of the attack. Who knows how strong enemy, will come out later. They need to stay alert and join the battle as needed.

A Saint name Jissan tells weren't you fallen from the saint rank. Why are you here and you even telling us what to do?

Jissan is a rival of Raghnall, they always fight each others for silly things. They have an old accounts to settle with each others.

Raghnall stole Jissan girlfriend from him. After that they always fights each other. Before that they were best friends.

The president of the Saint council finally spoke. He was watching and listening to everyone untill now. He comes from the military. A government official.

Stop you two. Now's not the time. And you Mr. Vantore are you saying the government can't handle the problem?

Can you explain everything properly? What's that statement mean. Everyone is silent. The saint council president 'Luke',

Is one of the strongest Saint in the world.

Mr. President I didn't mean that way. I said government shouldn't panic so easily. They hold a higher position. Bla Bla , boot licking talking.

Stoping the boot licker, Everyone what should we do right now ? President Luke asked. "Their meeting continues...."

The ground trembled beneath their feet as Dabi, Loira, Zen, and Jeni were coming out of the marketplace.

The air was thick with the acrid scent of smoke, punctuated by the distant sound of screams and clashing steel. When they try to get out, chaos unfolded before them.

A new gate opens, The marketplace became more chaotic. Stalls lay in ruins, and debris littered the cobblestone streets.

Shadowy creatures with humanoid forms roamed freely, their glowing runes casting an eerie light across the destruction.

Each creature moved with unsettling coordination, their attacks relentless and precise.

"We've got to split up," Dabi said, his tone sharp but calm. "Zen, Jeni, flank them from the sides. Loira, you're with me. We'll clear a path for the civilians."

Zen nodded, unsheathing his blade. "Got it. Be careful out there."

Jeni raised her staff, her eyes narrowing as she began weaving a ice barrier spell. "I'll make sure the guards have some cover."

Dabi stepped forward, his hands were shaking cause of injury, also at the same time glowing with the unmistakable shimmer of dimensional magic.

With a sweep of his arm, he erected a massive spatial barrier between the creatures and the terrified civilians.

"Everyone, move!" he shouted, his voice carrying above the din.

The civilians hesitated for only a moment before fleeing toward safety. As the creatures battered against his barrier, Dabi's concentration wavered but held.

"Loira, take the lead!" he called out.

Loira nodded, her own magic flaring to life. She cast space traps beneath the creatures, warping the ground to ensnare their legs and slow their advance.

Her movements were fluid, each spell calculated and precise.

Dabi clenched his fists, focusing his energy to teleport a group of civilians out of harm's way. The effort left him drained, but he didn't stop. He couldn't afford to.

The largest of the creatures slammed its claws against the barrier, cracks spreading like spiderwebs across its surface. Dabi gritted his teeth, pouring more energy into maintaining it.

"Zen, Jeni!" he shouted. "Take that thing down now!"

Zen and Jeni moved as a seamless unit. Zen dashed forward, his blade gleaming as he delivered a powerful slash across the creature's chest.

The runes on its body flared, but the beast faltered, its movements slowing.

Jeni followed up, her staff emitting a burst of light that seared into the creature's runes, disrupting its coordination.

The beast let out a guttural roar before collapsing into a heap of shadowy mist.

"Nice work!" Zen shouted, giving her a quick nod.

Jeni smiled faintly but didn't lower her guard. "There's more where that came from."

On the other side of the marketplace, Althea led a squad of city guards with precision and authority.

Her voice was calm but firm, issuing commands that kept the chaos from spiraling further out of control.

"Focus on containment!" she ordered. "Keep the creatures away from the civilians and hold the line!"

The guards followed her lead, forming a defensive perimeter around the marketplace. Their shields locked together, creating an unbreakable wall that withstood the creatures' assault.

Althea herself was a force to be reckoned with, her spear glowing with divine energy as she struck down one creature after another.

"Dabi!" she called out, her voice cutting through the chaos. "We've got this area under control. What's your status?"

Dabi glanced over his shoulder, sweat dripping from his brow. "We're holding them back, but they're getting stronger. Loira's sensing something deeper at play."

Loira's sharp eyes scanned the battlefield, her senses honed on the faint pulses of energy that lingered in the air.

There was something off about these creatures, something that didn't belong.

"Dabi," she said, her voice low but urgent. "These rifts aren't random.

There's a larger one somewhere near the city's outskirts. I can feel it. It's calling them."

Dabi's jaw tightened. "A central rift..." He exhaled sharply, exhaustion creeping into his voice. "We need to find the puppet master behind all this."

Loira nodded, her expression grim. "And if we don't find it soon, these attacks will only get worse."

As the team fought to contain the creatures, a sudden shift in the air made them pause. The temperature dropped, and a bone-chilling wind swept through the marketplace.

The largest rift yet began to form at the center of the chaos, its edges crackling with unstable energy.

The remaining creatures stopped their assault, their heads turning toward the rift as if awaiting orders.

Then, a figure stepped through.

The figure was humanoid but unmistakably otherworldly. Their skin glimmered with a metallic sheen, and glowing runes covered their body.

They wore a long, dark cloak that seemed to ripple like liquid shadow, and their eyes burned with an intense, unnatural light.

"Mortals," the figure said, their voice resonating as if echoing from another dimension. "You stand in defiance of forces beyond your comprehension."

The air grew heavy with their presence, and even the most battle-hardened guards faltered.

Dabi stepped forward, his grip tightening on his sword. "We've heard this speech before. If you think you can scare us, you're wrong."

The figure tilted their head, an eerie smile spreading across their face. "Brave words. Let's see if you can back them up."

With a wave of their hand, the remaining creatures surged forward, more coordinated and deadly than before.

At the same time, the figure raised their staff, summoning a sphere of crackling energy that radiated malevolence.

The team sprang into action.

Dabi poured the last of his energy into his Sovereign of Space abilities, creating a massive spatial prison to contain the creatures. The effort left him staggering, but he refused to give in.

Loira unleashed a barrage of spells, her space magic intertwining with Dabi's to fortify the barriers and keep the creatures at bay.

Zen charged toward the figure, his blade flashing as he aimed for a decisive strike. But the harbinger was fast, deflecting his attack with a flick of their staff.

Jeni supported from the back, her magic bolstering the guards and healing those who had been injured.

The battle was brutal, each side pushing themselves to the limit.

Just when it seemed the team was gaining the upper hand, the harbinger raised their staff once more. The rift behind them expanded, its energy warping the very fabric of reality.

"You fight well," the harbinger said, his voice tinged with amusement. "But this is only the beginning."

Before anyone could react, the harbinger unleashed a wave of energy that sent the team sprawling.

Dabi, struggling to his feet, glared at the figure with defiance burning in his eyes.

"This isn't over," he said through gritted teeth.

The harbinger smiled again, his form beginning to fade. "Indeed, it is not. Prepare yourselves, mortals. The true assault has yet to begin." Read latest chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

With that, the rift collapsed, taking the harbinger with it. The remaining creatures dissolved into mist, leaving the marketplace in eerie silence.

Dabi, battered and exhausted, turned to Loira. "We need to find that central rift."

Loira nodded, her gaze fixed on the horizon. "And soon. Before it's too late."

The team regrouped, their resolve unshaken despite the overwhelming odds.

As they prepared to head for the outskirts, the weight of what lay ahead pressed heavily on their shoulders.

The first assault had been repelled, but the whispers of doom grew louder....
