Cosmic Ruler - Chapter 192

Chapter 192: Explorers IV

Lifting Aiden up, she slammed him against the dark walls, the walls cracking from her sheer strength. Aiden himself felt his bones cracking from the impact. He looked at her and said with difficulty, “J-just go outside, and you will know whether I am lying or not?”

Shelly looked at him, then snorted and said, “I don’t need to go outside to see your lies.”

She began to use her Divine Sense. First, it enveloped the whole mansion. As she saw the mansion that matched the memories Aiden showed, she frowned a bit, thinking he might have already seen the mansion before and added it to his illusions. She increased the range of her Divine Sense, soon enveloping the whole city. Many powerhouses felt the Divine Sense but, seeing it was finding something, did not investigate it or rather didn’t dare to, as from Divine Sense alone they could gauge that they weren’t the opponent of the one utilizing this Divine Sense.

Aiden looked at her as he felt her powerful Divine Sense. ‘So this is what it meant by getting an invincible backer!’

‘Fortunately, Saint Blessing worked as intended,’ Aiden thought to himself as he waited for her investigation to get completed.

Originally, Ivan would have used his Spirit to heal her back to her prime, but Aiden used a different approach. He used a pseudo-forbidden spell to heal her back to her prime.

Saint Blessing was created by Time Monarch from Celestaria World. It is classified as pseudo-forbidden as it is both dangerous and miraculous in times of need.

In Celestaria World, forbidden spells are completely banned; they are never to be used, and heavy punishment is the end for offenders.

Saint Blessing is pseudo-forbidden because it is a Time, Life, Dark, and Light attribute spell. The Life attribute reads the person’s life and chooses their peak moment, the Time attribute reverses that person’s life to that moment, the Dark attribute deletes the memory after that moment, and the Light attribute mainly works as a stabilizer.

It is a miraculous healing spell devised by the Time Monarch. However, the reason it became forbidden is due to an infamous incident. There was an Evil Monarch who later became good, but after a battle when his life was in danger, this spell was used, resulting in the birth of the Evil Monarch once again. Many similar cases were found, leading it to enter the forbidden category halfway.

Aiden used the spell without knowing what Shelly’s prime was. He thought it would be under Spirit Saint, but now he had changed his thoughts. Earlier, when she grabbed his collar and slammed him into the wall, he didn’t register anything until he felt his bones cracking. Such speed meant she was way beyond what Aiden had imagined.

Now he could only wait for her to see the truth, or his end would be death. Aiden gulped and mumbled, “I hope she doesn’t kill me in her anger.”

Shelly, on the other hand, was on the verge of breaking. She couldn’t believe what she saw—the dilapidated bakery that used to be her home. Now it was dilapidated and broken, with skeletons scattered around. Investigating, she found they were her parents and little brother. She felt unimaginable anger, which then broke down into tears.

She knelt and began to cry.

“Oh, fuck,” Aiden hurriedly tossed several divine and abyssal crystals out of his storage and formed a runic barrier using ancient runes. A diamond-shaped shield covered him, and the next second, the whole mansion was reduced to ashes as Shelly, in her crying state, unleashed her full strength.

Aiden looked at his diamond-shaped runic barrier and, seeing it cracking, began to curse his luck. “Damn, protagonist and their weird-ass luck!”

He began to use more and more crystals to reinforce it.

“At this rate, I can only hold up for three hours!” Aiden thought gravely as he looked at Shelly bawling her eyes out.

“Fuck it!” Aiden thought, then stood up and used Void Crystals to teleport to her. As he teleported, he kneeled and coughed up blood. Despite being inside his cover, he felt his insides shaking and breaking.

Steadying himself, he put his hand on her hand and used another divine spell, “Soothing Bell.”

A melodious tone began to play as Aiden used the spell. “Fuck, I can’t hold on much longer…”

Just after using the spell, Aiden began to fall unconscious. The toll on his body caused him to shut down.

Thud!

He fell with a thud, still inside his cover, which began to form more cracks. The cracks slowly began to spread.

Shelly, hearing the soothing bell, began to calm down.

Myne looked at Aiden with worry. Seeing his state, she began to use her own power to reinforce his shield. Astralium began to help her too.

Together they held it for some hours. Fortunately, by that time, Shelly stopped crying and looked at the illusionary bell above her head. She saw the crystal fragments powering it and looked at the unconscious Aiden and the cover around him.

She lightly tapped the barrier , causing it ti blown into million of pieces, Myne and Astralium inside his soul sea , experienced backlashed by the sudden interruption, they too kneeled and coughed up blood,

Astralium couldn’t help but say ” What is she?”

” a being with immense power gap between us” Myne healing both of them said.

” This horny kid, cant he find someone of bis level!” Astralium snorted and went back to his meditation.

Myne sighed and looked at Aiden, as she saw that woman picking Aiden up ans going somewhere else, she couldn’t help but feel worry for him.

‘ I hope she is no longer angry’ Myne prayed as she intently watched them, she steeled herself to be ready to sacrifice her life to help him.

After Aiden left the orphanage.

Lia returning to room sat on the sofa, she then placed her hand on her face and then a wooden mask leaves her face, removing the mask she looked at herself.

Reflecting a beauty, with long wavy silver hairs and bright red ruby like eyes.

Her plum perfect face enough to captivate even the same gender.

” Lia, what do you think?” She said.

And then from shadows another Lia or rather original Lia appeard, she kneeled to ger and said ” I dont know what to say Princess ”

” hmm, your Devils Eyes didnt worked on bim?” Princess who was disguising as Lia asked astonished.

” yes, it didnt work” Lia nodded and said.

” hmm, that means his spirits are above Heavenly grade” Princess put his hand on the chin and said.

” Well, leaving that aside, what do you think of that golden crystal he used to heal Alfred ?” Princess asked.

” I think we should contact him and have him produce those crystal for us, after all those crystals did what his majesty’s top healer couldn’t do” Lia replied.

” I am thinking the same thing…but problem is what if he is from hidden ancient clan, thise clans are known for their protectiveness, after all there are many incidents where they have slaughtered whole Empires if one were to touch their descendents ” princess nodded and then wryly smiled.

Lia looked at her Muscle headed princess and thought inwardly , ‘ No wonder, his majesty the Emperor sent her out to experience world or this clutch princess would only resolve to her muscles to solve anything’

Lia sighed and then said ” I meant friendly relations your majesty”

” oh! You are such a genius Lia, lets go and find him” Princess jumped off the chair and said excitedly.

” wait! Princess , we dont know where he is?” Lia shouted and ran behind her.

And such Aiden got a stalker unexpectedly., a stalked that filled his already difficult life with more difficulties.

*****

Groan!

Aiden wakes up groaning, finding himself wrapped in shimmering silver bandages, turning his head he looked at the black eyes old man and flinched but then seeing its an undead he felt weird ‘ hmm, was I dreaming that I got reincarnated in a wuxia world?’

‘ hmm, no I guess, this undead is still wearing a sect robe of wuxia style’ Aiden sighed and rhn inspected the shimmering bandages.

” hmm, so a healing spirit huh” Aiden mumbled and then inspected his injuries finding it fully healed, leaving just few sore muscles.

” few….incense…stick…it…will…be…haled” Aiden looked at the ghost doctor speaking and nodded.

He then lays back on bed, waiting to get fully healed.

‘ just few days and I already have lost more than 90% of my Divine and Abyssal crystal stocks’ Aiden sighed and then closed his eyes, slipping back into slumber.
