Ruler's Awakening: Inheritor of the SSS-Rank Dimensional Talent-Chapter 187: Aaron First Clone

Sokia flew swiftly and embraced Aaron tightly. The woman was overjoyed to reunite with him. Liel smiled as she approached Aaron, accompanied by her beast servant. Aaron responded with a small smile and gently stroked Sokia’s hair.

The girl poured out her grief in Aaron’s embrace, soaking the black shirt with purple patterns he wore with her tears. Aaron nodded, understanding the depth of their sorrow.

"I’m sorry. I failed to save Isabella," Aaron whispered.

"We knew the risks when we chose to adventure with Isabella. But I never expected she would leave us so soon," Liel replied, trying to comfort Sokia.

Throughout their journey from the fifth floor, Sokia and Liel had always depended on Isabella’s abilities. Time and again, Isabella had saved their lives, guiding them like an elder sister caring for her younger siblings. Sokia, who felt a deep connection with Isabella, was the most devastated by the harsh reality of Isabella’s fate.

"Did you give her a proper burial?" Liel asked Aaron.

Aaron shook his head. Since they were conversing above the forest canopy, it was risky to be overheard. Aaron suggested they move to a more secluded location to discuss the matter further.

Sokia and Liel agreed. Liel took to the air with her beast servant, while Sokia refused to let go of Aaron. Aaron noted her need for parental care in her life.

From a distance, Aaron spotted a waterfall far removed from the city. It seemed like the perfect spot for a private conversation, though Liel recognized it as a red zone area.

Aaron landed softly near a stream close to the waterfall, ensuring a smooth descent for the comfort of Sokia and Liel.

Once on the ground, Aaron gently asked Sokia to release him. She reluctantly complied, stepping over to Liel and holding her hand, curious about what Aaron was planning.

Aaron activated his magical aura. A purple light radiated from his body, concentrating at his fingertips.

With a deliberate motion, he sent the light skyward, where it exploded with a distinctive magical sound. The explosion generated a massive purple dome, protecting the area within a one-kilometer radius.

Neither monsters nor mages below the level of a Venerable Sage could breach it. Even those capable of trying would need years to dismantle it.

In essence, the protective dome was impenetrable, more than sufficient to safeguard Sokia and Liel while Aaron stayed with them.

The two girls marveled at the grandeur and strength of the dome. Aaron’s magical prowess had advanced significantly since they last saw him.

It seemed the massacre in the tenth-floor city a month ago had provided him with a substantial amount of experience and ability points.

"With this protective dome, no monsters or mages will disturb us," Aaron assured, deactivating his magical aura as he approached Sokia and Liel.

"I’ll explain my current situation and what hopes we can hold for Isabella. I ask that you listen without interruption and try to understand my intentions," Aaron said.

Sokia and Liel exchanged glances before nodding. The three of them sat together, Aaron cross-legged before the two girls.

Aaron began his story by introducing the concept of the Supreme Soul Feature, which only unlocked for mages who surpassed level 300. Currently, Aaron was at level 325.

Before diving into topics like transmigration and soul reincarnation, Aaron explained the utility of the Supreme Soul Feature.

Liel and Sokia listened intently, their surprise evident as they learned that Aaron’s soul could kill without causing physical harm.

Aaron assured them that Isabella’s body was safely preserved in a secure location, free from interference.

Her soul was also being cared for by someone Aaron trusted. Liel guessed it was Aerith, and Aaron smiled in confirmation.

"Aerith is skilled at tending to souls. She’s currently looking after Isabella’s soul. To revive her, there are two methods I can pursue," Aaron explained.

He elaborated on the concepts of soul reincarnation and soul transmigration, detailing their advantages and drawbacks. Sokia nodded several times, and Liel, though understanding less, asked more questions.

"To unlock these two techniques, my soul essence level must reach the peak stage. Currently, I’m at level one, while the peak level is seven," Aaron revealed.

"How will you raise your soul essence level?" Liel asked.

"By using soul essence vials. However, since such items don’t exist on Earth, I’ll need to extract soul essence manually."

Aaron admitted the extraction process was complex and difficult to explain. Nevertheless, he assured them there was a way to bring Isabella back.

Sokia felt relieved. Though she didn’t fully grasp the intricacies of reincarnation and transmigration, knowing there was a path forward for Isabella brought her solace.

Both girls pledged to help Aaron find the soul essence vials. The sooner they were found, the sooner Isabella could be revived.

"Thank you, but this journey will be perilous. I can’t involve you both," Aaron said.

"Why not?" Sokia asked, disheartened.

"Too many enemies are after me, especially in Lilith City. I don’t want you to meet the same fate as Isabella. For now, no one knows about your connection to me."

Sokia insisted on helping, saying Aaron was the only person she had left besides Liel. If he left, she doubted she could go on as before.

Aaron paused, feeling sympathetic toward their plight. Isabella’s death had left them lost and directionless. He thought of a solution to ease their minds temporarily.

As an SS-rank talent holder in Clone Manipulation, Aaron could create a clone of himself or another form using his sub-talent. He decided to give it a try, even though it would be his first time attempting it.

Aaron’s body began to glow with a vibrant purple light. Sokia and Liel shielded their eyes as they watched in awe.

Slowly, a clone of Aaron materialized beside him, formed from concentrated purple energy that solidified into a tangible form.

As the clone opened its eyes, they were met with life-like clarity. Sokia clapped her hands in delight, impressed by Aaron’s ability, while Liel stood in astonishment, her jaw dropping at the sight of the flawless duplicate.

To make the clone behave realistically, Aaron transferred a fragment of his soul’s consciousness into it. The clone’s vacant eyes lit up, its pale eyes gaining color as it appeared vibrant and alive.

"Wear the Sky Sword uniform," Aaron instructed, handing his Sky Sword outfit to the clone.

"Understood," the clone replied, donning the outfit along with camouflage earrings to blend in.

Now dressed as Aaron’s alternate identity, Arthur, the clone approached Sokia and Liel with a warm smile. Despite being a clone, his gestures and demeanor were indistinguishable from the original Aaron.

"What sets you apart from him?" Liel asked the clone, now known as Arthur.

"I don’t have servants or authority flags. I only possess my primary talent and basic dark elemental magic," Arthur explained.

Aaron nodded, remaining seated on the grass. He entrusted Arthur with a list of responsibilities, particularly the safety of Sokia and Liel.

"I’ll ascend to the highest floor. The Origin Clone lasts only a week, but I’ll reactivate it as needed," Aaron said.

Arthur turned and acknowledged the instructions with a nod, fully understanding his duties.

"Challenges on the upper floors are increasingly dangerous. I’m confident you’ll overcome them," Arthur replied.

"Support Andrew and others in rebuilding the city. Avoid unnecessary conflicts and treat everyone kindly to avoid suspicion," Aaron advised.

He emphasized the importance of protecting Sokia and Liel, to which Arthur pledged his dedication. The two girls, though slightly amused by the exchange, felt reassured knowing Aaron’s clone would stay with them. Explore more stories with novelbuddy
