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

Genghis Khan smiled broadly, being challenged by Aaron, who looked stronger in his eyes. He mounted his horse again, his hands clutching two curved Mongol swords.

Rumbling lightning accompanied by black clouds covered the top of the protective dome. Aaron looked up and saw the rumble without fear.

From behind, Aerith saw carefully that the wounds on Aaron's body were recovering, fusing together fast like he had a drastic HP regeneration ability.

'What exactly is going on? Why can he use Dark Azazel's ability again?' Aerith asked.

Yet, this time was different from before. Aaron was actually in full control of his body and power, unlike before when Azazel was in control.

[WARNING!]

[Mysterious power detected]

[Take immediate confinement to minimize unwanted disasters]

The warning panel appeared before Aerith in response to the strange energy fluctuations, especially from Aaron. Aerith reinforced the protective dome with her dark elemental purple magic.

"Be careful. Do you need Additional MP from me?" asked Aerith.

Aaron looked back slowly and saw Aerith with a big smile. The young man said clearly he was fine without the Additional MP.

Aerith carefully noticed the change in Aaron's appearance. Previously, Aaron's appearance looked forced, with a red horn appearing on the left forehead and his veins turning maroon. However, what appeared on his face was completely different.

The left side of his body was adorned with light armor that floated without touching Aaron's body, making his appearance luxurious and powerful.

Aaron's left hand stretched forward, grasping an Azazel-flagged spear. Genghis Khan squinted his eyes, completely clueless about Azazel and the emblem.

"I don't know who you are and where the great power comes from. But, using strange powers won't make you win against me!" Genghis Khan snapped, annoyed.

Genghis Khan threw two of his swords up, making Aaron and Aerith instantly turn their heads to the sky and watch out for what he was about to do.

[Talent Activated]

[Sub Talent Activated]

[Sword of the Tyrant Slayer!]

Surprisingly, the two swords Gengis Khan threw into the sky turned huge to giant. The power of this sub-talent was weaker than the previous one, a projection of thousands of troops.

"HYAAA!"

Gengis Khan swung both hands downward in a cross. Two curved swords shot down from the sky in the form of giants lunging at Aaron.

Aaron smiled. He raised his left hand, which still held Dark Azazel's spear.

Purple and maroon colored magic mixed in the area surrounding Aaron, forming a shield wall that could withstand the attack of the two giant swords.

Genghis Khan frowned and narrowed his eyes, finding it difficult to penetrate Aaron's shield wall.

"Destroyed!" said Aaron, causing the two swords that had been attacking Aaron to shatter into small glass-like pieces that fell from the sky.

Genghis Khan gasped. He never expected Aaron to defeat his attack easily. He continued to stare at the strange flagged spear. Since the spear was there, Aaron's strength had increased ridiculously.

"What the hell is going on?!"

"Your strength is nothing in front of me."

With a powerful hand gesture, Aaron quickly threw the spear into the sky. The spear pierced right through Genghis Khan's abdomen, which he failed to dodge.

[Damage +325000]

A large amount of damage caused Genghis Khan to fall from the sky, leaving his horse and sword to land on the ground. Aaron watched Genghis Khan's fall, then stepped closer to him, who was helpless.

"That's sad. I lost in one attack," Genghis Khan said.

"You are no match for my strength."

A red orb shaped from the Servant's soul hovered over Genghis Khan's limp body on the Dark Dimension floor. Aerith removed the protective dome and stepped softly toward Aaron.

Aaron deactivated the power of Dark Azazel from his body. Yet, he noticed a black pattern with Azazel's symbol on the back of his hand. Aerith turned to the side, realizing Aaron was looking at the black pattern.

"Looks like you need to know something about him, Aaron," Aerith replied.

"Do you? Do you know anything about Azazel?"

Aerith cleared her throat as she responded with a nod. She said she knew who Azazel was and his role in the universe. However, that would be a long discussion to follow.

"The most important thing for you now is to focus on making him one of your servants," Aerith replied, pointing towards the servant's soul-core orb.

Aaron nodded; he had performed two servant contract rituals already. The young man knew the items needed to make the contract ritual successful.

He pressed the servant menu and hit another one, focusing on adding servants. Genghis Khan seemed to be still conscious, not in pain or bleeding -because his condition was in soul form.

He looked to the side, seeing Aaron busy pressing something he didn't understand. Genghis Khan thought the times were changing too fast for people like him.

"You be quiet, Khan!"

Aaron didn't have 500 Dark Mana Crystals to perform the ritual. Aerith smiled. She felt happy that Aaron continued to rely on her, not on the Dark Azazel's power.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Don't worry. I have it especially for you, Aaron."

Aerith took out 500 Dark Mana Crystals forward, precisely onto the body of Genghis Khan's soul that was still lying helplessly on the Dark Dimension floor.

Once everything was ready, Aaron pressed the Yes menu, and the system began scanning the items needed for the Soul Servant Contract Ritual. Aaron and Aerith continued to look at how the system worked according to the orders given.

[Scanning items for soul servant contract ritual:]

[1 Soul Core Orb Detected]

[500 Dark Mana Crystals Detected]

[Soul Servant Contract Ritual requirements met!]

[Initiating Contract Ritual]

[MP -20000]

The energy transfer process was carried out from Aaron's dark magic absorbed into Genghis Khan's soul core. 500 Dark Mana Crystals were shattered and helped the integration process of the three energies.

So far, the integration process went smoothly without a hitch. Genghis Khan looked sluggishly silent and resigned that he would be part of Aaron's obedient servants.

[Host has reached >100000 CP]

Making Genghis Khan part of Aaron's servant increased Aaron's CP significantly, from 80000 CP to 110000 CP. That was more than enough to convince Aaron.

Aerith clapped her hands, happy and pleased to realize Aaron had contracted his third servant successfully. She stepped towards Aaron, both hands holding Aaron's left hand, which now had Azazel's black markings on the back of his hand.

"Since you got your servant, should I tell you who Azazel is? And why do you have his power?"

"I wish you had no other business because this might get long and boring."
