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

Rosso was shocked, Aerith had not said this without reason. Before she arrived at the place, the woman investigated and interrogated the three men first.

They worked together with Rosso and some people from the guild staff to help weaken Lewis. Lewis' ability was beyond the bookmakers' expectations, it was enough to make them suffer a huge loss.

"Liar! I never did that, never in my life," Rosso shouted, refusing to take the blame.

Aaron looked up at Rosso from where he was. In the blink of an eye, he was right there, choking the man firmly, and the situation turned tense.

The crowd ran for their lives, some guild staff were still there with three squads from Dimension Justice acting to secure the situation.

"If you insist you're not the one who did it, then you should dare to take the truth test," explained a woman.

In the intense surge of magic in the Dimension Justice arena's sky, a woman dressed in the group's uniform appeared and flew over on her magic sword. She came accompanied by two female aides beside her.

"Ms. Lisa?" asked Rosso.

Several Dimension Justice members greeted the woman named Lisa. They seemed to bow their heads in salute, as if Lisa's position was much higher than theirs.

Aaron glanced up, his eyes sharpening as he saw that the woman had a strategic position in the Dimension Justice group. He landed on top of the Dimension Justice arena, all eyes locked on the woman.

"Truth Test?" asked Rosso, panicking.

"That's right. The Truth Test. Only with that, you can prove your innocence," Lisa explained.

'Although Lisa was just inviting him to do a test of truthfulness, but from the expression on her face and the firmness of her words, she seemed to be putting Rosso on the spot,' said Aaron.

"I'm just reminding you, lying in the truth test will be very painful, no one can withstand it," said the woman.

Feeling cornered by the situation, Rosso sighed softly while looking down in defeat. He raised both hands to shoulder height and began to admit his guilt. Lisa complied, nodding.

The woman swung her hand forward, bringing forth a magical manipulation in the form of powerful chains that bound Rosso's hands and body. Rosso's confession would be the evidence to uncover this case.

"Take him to the Dimension Justice prison," Lisa ordered, obeyed by one of the three squads guarding the arena.

As Rosso was led away, Lisa turned around and stepped closer to Lewis. The injured Lewis was instantly healed by the woman's abilities, surprising Aaron and the others.

"You guys should not worry. Because of Rosso's fatal mistake, all participants of Mighty Shark will be disqualified," Lisa replied, trying to calm Lewis and the Shadow Ruler members affected by the sabotage magic.

"Thank you, Ms. Lisa," Lewis said.

"Dimension Justice will always maintain fairness and sportsmanship in this competition. Anyone of them who acts deceitfully, will get the consequences based on their actions," Lisa explained.

Aaron and the others said yes. From Aaron's eyes, the magic aura emanating from the woman named Lisa was almost the same as Eloise —even though Eloise was stronger than her. Still, Aaron could further confirm that Lisa's mage tier was Senior Sage.

Lisa turned to the guild staff. She said she would investigate this case since the three perpetrators said something about guild staff.

They must have been able to implant sabotage magic due to the interference of guild staff members.

"I will report this case to the Guild Office Chief. Once the investigation is complete, we will arrest the other perpetrators who were involved!" threatened Lisa.

The match referee felt that he was not involved in this sabotage magic. He said clearly that he supported any investigation that Dimension Justice conducted into this case.

"We will support any investigation. We will not obstruct anyone."

"Today's second round of Pre-Qualifiers is over. The participants and others may return to rest!" declared Lisa.

Strongly, Lisa left the Dimension Justice arena and returned to their HQ building. Lewis stepped closer to Aerith, inquiring about the exact guild staff directly involved.

"I don't know. They just said guild staff were involved, but they didn't mention any of them by name," Aerith replied.

"Dimension Justice will reveal everything. So, we just need to wait until the investigation is complete," Aaron said, replying to Lewis' question.

Lewis responded with a nod. All that mattered to him was that he had made it to the third round after defeating Reinald in the last match.

The step to the final qualifying round was getting closer, all the way to the main round of the Group Tournament.

After their business was done, Aaron invited the others to leave the place. They followed, but some members of the Mighty Sharks were not happy.

The reason for their disqualification was not because of their trickery, but because Aaron and Aerith had revealed it.

"We will avenge this humiliation on them, tonight!"

Shadow Ruler Base.

Lewis and the others rested peacefully after a light training session. The number of new members reached 10, a total of 22 Shadow Ruler members.

Aerith slept in her own room, while the others slept in different ones. Aaron was still awake, focusing on adding attributes using his attribute boosting slip.

It was half past 12 at night, time for everyone to fall asleep after a long day.

However, not for seven people dressed all in black and wearing camouflage masks. They came with certain evil intentions, to make an unexpected attack on Shadow Ruler, especially Aaron and Aerith. Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire

They knew the location of Shadow Ruler's base easily, simply by asking around or following new members who were about to join them. In the end, the seven Mighty Shark members were able to find it.

"What a disgusting place, at once shabby and cramped. How could they possibly live crammed into that place?" said one of the Mighty Shark members, the leader of the raiding group, who was Alfonso.

Without realizing it, when they entered the range of the house, they accidentally activated the early detection sensor of the magic dome Aaron had made. Aaron sensed an unfamiliar magic aura coming and approaching the Shadow Ruler's base.

From Aaron's perspective, the surge of the magic aura didn't feel that significant. However, it was still the sound of strangers.

Aaron had expected it, they must be from Mighty Shark who had come for revenge.

"Fool!" complained Aaron.

In a flash of purple, Aaron's figure disappeared from the house. The quick movement of the man was enough to surprise the seven people from Mighty Shark. They gasped and stood where they were.

"Aaron!" called Alfonso.

"As I thought, you guys are from Mighty Shark," Aaron said.

"We've come to take revenge for our group's disqualification!" snapped Alfonso.

"You were disqualified for your own deeds. Why blame me?"

Aaron summoned a purple light from his palm, a purple blaze with the intensity of a powerful magic blast, "I'm about to warn you. Get the hell out of here before I kill you!"
