Ruler's Awakening: Inheritor of the SSS-Rank Dimensional Talent-Chapter 137: Night of Abduction

Arthur looked down, he saw several members of the 15th Sky Sword focusing their eyes on the sky, towards him.

Unwilling to stay in the center of their attention, Arthur flew across the sky from the location in the front yard of the base to the guest house in the north of the place.

The man landed firmly outside the weathered wooden house, the firm landing causing dust to be blown up and scattered all over the place. Still, it was easy for Arthur to shake it off.

The door to the house opened, Sara came out with Karen and Mona, who were seen sitting on the deflated sofa in the living room. Both turned their heads towards the door, then waved in response to Arthur’s arrival.

"How was it?" asked Sara, inviting Arthur to enter.

"I found their base, easy to find. I’ll sneak in at midnight to kidnap Salsabilla," said Arthur.

He looked at the digital clock on his system watch; it was seven in the evening. To carry out his plan this time, Arthur had to do it at 12 midnight or 2am at the very least.

These times were ideal as people were fast asleep. As for the guards? They would probably do a lot of guarding at the town entrance to prevent other intruders from arriving.

Arthur wouldn’t go there and knock on their gates while saying he was gonna kidnap Salsabilla, of course not. He had already mapped out the target location, the 15th Night Liberators base.

With his Dimensional Portal ability, he could easily navigate to places he had visited before. That was why the Ultimate Sub Talent of Arthur’s main talent consumed a lot of MP for its activation.

Then, how about using the Dimensional Portal to climb up or down a floor? Arthur can move places with the portal to places he has visited.

In short, he can only go downstairs without being able to go upstairs.

The Dimensional Dark Portal ability also allows Arthur to trick the system, given that he traveled across places through a broken dimensional boundary.

The system would not detect anything and would not penalize Arthur for the duration of travel time and so on.

"Sneaking around? Isn’t it too early for you to do that, Arthur?" asked Sara, a look of concern on her face.

"No, it’s not. I feel that this is the right time for me to do this. If I don’t, I’m afraid I’ll lose the momentum," said Arthur.

Karen got up from the deflated sofa and stepped forward, standing next to Sara as a smile was thrown at Arthur and Sara.

She said Arthur needed to do his job, even if it cost him his life. The deal between him and Tris had to go through for the 13th Squad to stay in this place.

Sara didn’t want to justify it, but she had no choice but to comply with what Arthur wanted. Sara took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. The woman allowed Arthur to continue with his plan.

Since Arthur was returning, Sara invited him to have dinner together. They had cooked three dishes, but they hadn’t had time to eat them because they were waiting for Arthur’s presence.

After Arthur arrived, they joined them for dinner. Miki and Thalenia, who initially felt unfamiliar with human food, began to like it when they tasted Sara’s delicious and sweet flavors.

Miki admitted that Sara’s food was the most delicious she had ever eaten in her life. She had no idea that human food could be this delicious. Thalenia was the same, but she responded casually.

"Besides their base, what else did you find there, Arthur?" asked Sara.

"I found the Town Cathedral," said Arthur, which surprised Sara and Karen with wide eyes.

"Cathedral? Can we do Talent Ascension there?" asked Karen, being the most excited.

"Probably, as the maximum talent rank to perform Ascension is rank A. The three of you have rank A talent," said Arthur.

"What about you, Arthur?" asked Miki, curious.

"My main talent is SSS-R; my secondary talent is S-R."

Sara and the others went to understand why the power of Arthur’s main talent could be so strong; it was due to his talent rank being SSS-R. It was rare or unheard of in the history of Dark Pillar Tower for a mage to have a rank of SSS-R.

’It seems like the 13th Squad’s gap with Arthur is huge. We couldn’t have even arrived on this floor without that man’s help,’ Sara whispered.

"If you have this much ability, why don’t you make a new group?" asked Karen.

"A new group?"

Arthur felt that the guild feature in the party menu was unlocked. Karen nodded and explained the difference between a party and a large group or guild.

An adventurer’s party can only hold a maximum of 10 adventurers, has no rights to own flags and territories, and cannot build an official headquarters.

Guilds can accommodate an unlimited number of members, have the right to design a group flag and define the boundaries of their floor territory. Guilds also have the right to build their official headquarters and branch bases on each floor.

Karen explained that many adventurers are trying to build guilds/groups. Still, throughout the history of Dark Pillar Tower, only three groups have survived and existed until now: Night Liberators, Sky Sword, and Dimension Justice.

"With your abilities, you might be able to compete with those three major groups."

’It’s a wise choice to build my own group, but for now, I don’t want to take any hasty moves. I need to focus on my mission to the 25th floor and remove this slave seal from Andrew.’

"Thank you. I will consider it later," Arthur explained.

They also talked about many things. Arthur told him about a small family that was forced to suffer due to the cruel authoritarian system of the Night Liberators.

In Arthur’s opinion, the people living in the town had no safety for their own lives.

The talk was long and deep. Karen and Mona said goodbye to go to bed, as did Miki. Thalenia returned to Arthur’s body as her servant’s duration expired, and Miki went to bed.

Now, Sara was left behind the kitchen bench, washing the dishes and other cooking utensils that had been used in the dinner.

Arthur stood in the open doorway, hearing the chirping of the crickets and the wind blowing through the place.

There wasn’t any sound he could hear; people were already glued to their beds and getting rest. This was the moment Arthur had been waiting for to carry out his plan.

"Are you leaving now?" asked Sara while looking at the clock, which reads half past 1 at night.

"I think so."

Arthur changed from a purple-patterned black suit to a Night Liberator uniform. Sara was taken aback by the change in Arthur’s appearance; she had never thought that Arthur would own a Night Liberator outfit.

"Where did you get it?" asked Sara.

"At first, I joined the Night Liberators. However, I left their group and kept this uniform."

"I never thought I would wear this for a second time."

"Be careful, Arthur," said Sara. Stay updated with novelbuddy

The man glanced back, then replied to Sara’s concerned expression with a broad smile spread across his face.

"Of course. I’ll be careful."
