Ruler's Awakening: Inheritor of the SSS-Rank Dimensional Talent-Chapter 303: The Sacred Floor of the 99th

***

Seven months later.

Pillar Boss Room 98th Floor.

Aaron directed the magic energy of purple light in the form of a large purple spear. He threw the purple spear forward until it was able to pierce the body of the black fire serpent of heaven.

With that final attack, Aaron succeeded in defeating the monster boss in the boss room on the 98th floor. Now, there were two more floors left for Aaron to climb, the 99th and 100th floors.

The snake's body faded into small particles of magic, then disappeared into the sky.

Aaron fell, his breath feeling so labored realizing his strength and the strength of the 98th floor monster were almost equal.

[CONGRATULATIONS!]

[You have successfully completed the Dark Pillar's 98th boss challenge]

[The final floor of Dark Pillar Tower has been unlocked]

[Floor Access Privilege: 99th]

[Want to go to the next floor?]

[Yes] [No]

"Final floor? Is it possible that when I reach the 100th floor, there will be no more Dark Pillars for me to defeat?" asked Aaron.

There were many questions other than the one just asked that Aaron wanted to know the answers to, but haste was not good.

Aaron realized that his fight against the black fire serpent of heaven had drained a lot of his energy and magic power.

Aaron confirmed the option to teleport to the next floor. Another system panel appeared, explaining that teleportation between floors would take place in five minutes.

[Teleportation to the next floor confirmed]

[Destination: 99th]

[Initiate teleportation to destination in five minutes]

[00:00:04:59]

The door to the boss's office opens. With a faltering step, Aaron returns outside the floor boss's office and stands alone in front of the room without anyone accompanying him.

It had been over two years since Aaron lost Aerith. There was no trace of the woman other than the Dark Dimension she left for Aaron.

According to Aerith's explanation, Aaron had to go to Visiri to save her. There, Aerith's physical body was trapped along with her pure Dark Dimension talent.

By saving Aerith and bringing her into the Dark Dimension, Aaron could slowly cure her completely.

Aaron's hands and feet slowly began to emit a bright blue light, getting brighter as the teleportation countdown between floors was completed.

After the countdown reaches 0, Aaron immediately teleports away from the place to the 99th floor. Both his eyes were closed during the teleportation process.

CHIRP!

The sound of birds chirping was clearly heard in Aaron's ears. When he opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful park that was well maintained by nature. Birds flew and danced in the breeze that soothed the soul.

The location of the glowing rock was not actually in front of the Dark Pillar, but rather near a flower-filled garden with a silver-pole and gold-roofed gazebo standing firmly in the middle of the garden.

With curiosity, Aaron stepped into the garden with his eyes constantly scanning the surrounding area, trying to understand what was happening on the 99th floor.

"Does anyone live here?" Aaron asked.

He stepped on a garden path that seemed to twist, like a maze, with the center in the middle.

From Aaron's direction, he saw a woman sitting in a gazebo, busy feeding the fish in the fish pond that surrounded the gazebo.

"It's been a long time since anyone came to visit me," replied the woman, still busy feeding the fish with her back to Aaron.

Aaron stopped when he was near the gazebo. He felt a refreshing, calming, and full aura in that place. However, Aaron could not yet confirm the origin of this energy.

The woman turned around, looking Aaron in the eye with an enthusiastic gaze. Aaron gasped, he saw clearly that the woman in front of him was not just any woman.

"Lady," Aaron greeted.

The woman nodded, agreed and accepted Aaron's greeting. The woman's eyes were diverted from Aaron's eyes to the man's chest.

With the power of her vision, she saw an amazing power stored in the energy center of Aaron's magic.

"Did you also come to the highest floor like this to claim the title of Dark Ruler?" asked the woman.

"All the mages trapped here have this dream. It gives them hope of getting out," Aaron replied.

"Do you want to get out of the Dark Pillar Tower?" asked the woman, leaving Aaron stunned and speechless.

Many things have happened in Dark Pillar Tower, from friendship, betrayal, sadness, to love and gambling.

Everything helped Aaron develop to the point he is now, without those things, it would be impossible for Aaron to set foot on the 99th floor.

"There are people who expect you to be here, like Eloise, Emily, even Elsa," replied the woman.

"Wait! How can you—"

"Sokia has indeed returned to her family and race. However, deep in the girl's heart, she is reluctant to part with you," the woman replied again, she really knew everything about Aaron.

"Even so, you do have to leave," replied the woman.

"Who is she really? I've never met her and she already knows a lot about me," Aaron revealed.

Aaron was still speechless, letting the woman in front of him finish her sentence. Again, she said something that surprised Aaron.

"The conflict between you and the three main groups is getting worse, there is a grudge that is chasing you here," replied the woman, revealing a picture showing the Killian, Alfredo, and Elsa raid groups working together to go upstairs.

Aaron saw the picture, but he didn't know where they were right now. It amazed Aaron even more.

"Not only that, but you are also being chased by your obligation to heal Emily and resurrect Isabella. You need to go to Visiri to save your girlfriend, right?" asked the woman.

"Who the hell are you, really?!" Aaron exclaimed, shouting in annoyance because all his goals and information were easily revealed to him.

The woman smiled, turned around and returned to her usual activity, scattering fish food in her beloved clear pond.

"Reconsider your decision, because your decision will affect many people," the woman explained.

"There is no Dark Pillar on the 99th floor. This is the sacred floor before the Throne of Heaven," replied the woman.

"If you want to go to the 100th floor and claim the title, you'll have to convince me."

The woman looked back with sharp eyes fixed on Aaron, wanting to know what Aaron's real goal was in climbing so many floors.

"Who are you exactly?" Aaron asked.

"I am the Dark Empress!"
