Reincarnated With Three Unique Skills - Chapter 239

Chapter 239: Chapter 239: Arriving In Silk City
Aengus and Aria reached the cliff where the ancient Dwarves were supposed to be.

But Aengus’s expression darkened when he attempted to connect to the barrier and couldn’t establish a connection at all.

As the cliff came into view from above, he shook his head in silent fury, his face barely containing his frustration.

They landed steadily at the peak, and he saw no sign of the barrier.

“Where is it, Ethan? All I see is a shadowy jungle below,” Aria said, looking at him with doubt. “Or is it only visible to you? Yes, that must be it.”

“No,” Aengus replied, suppressing his anger. “The barrier is gone, and so are the Dwarves, for some reason.”

“Huh? Gone? But you said only you could release them from the barrier, so how could it have disappeared so suddenly?” Aria asked, looking slightly tense.

“I don’t know. Give me some time to investigate. But I know one thing: they wouldn’t disappoint me for no reason.”

Aria nodded. “Alright. Let me come down too.”

Both of them descended the 500-meter cliff as smoothly as feathers.

Aengus, with all his senses, including his sixth sense and the skills he had gained, began searching the area thoroughly. Surely, there had to be some traces left somewhere.

And they didn’t have to wait long. Aengus detected traces of intense Nether energy clashing with Mana. It was now confirmed that demons were somehow involved in this kidnapping.

But he couldn’t understand—how could someone from this world have managed to break past the Barrier of Ruination? Even the Demon Lords shouldn’t be able to do that.

So, what was the reason?

“Those hateful demons! It’s all their fault… I want to slaughter them,” Aria said with hatred, her tragic past experiences making her emotions spiral out of control.

Aengus placed a calming hand on her shoulder. “Calm down, Aria. The day will come, and you won’t have to wait much longer. Now, let’s bring your family members back to us quickly,” he said gently.

Though he hadn’t yet found any clues about the Dwarves’ disappearance or who was behind it, he was determined to teach those responsible a memorable lesson. And the day was just on the corner.

Aria’s mood settled after hearing her family members being mentioned.

“Alright, let’s go…”

Aengus quickly opened a Space Portal to the Darkwood Forest, marking their last known location using the Greater Spatial Teleporter.

They found themselves in a blackened desert-like land, with no beasts in sight. It was to be expected after what had happened to them recently. The creatures must have fled in terror, not wanting to be devoured like one-third of the forest.

“Did you do all this?” Aria asked, awestruck, standing at the edge of a hollowed-out dark area shaped like a massive lake, with soil devoured at least 300 meters deep.

“That’s brutal…” Aria felt a pang of sadness for the beasts and humans who lost their lives in his hands, but she had no intention of blaming him.

“Yes, this was the price of the power I gained. Do you blame me now?” Aengus asked calmly, though with a hint of anticipation for her support.

And she answered just as he’d hoped.

“No, I don’t blame you, Ethan. Sometimes I feel very sad about the destruction, ever since I awakened this mysterious nature power. I was prepared for it, but it still hurts…” Aria looked truly sorrowful.

Aengus, worried for her, comforted her, “You’ll be fine, Aria. I’m always with you. Perhaps it’s the lingering emotions of nature affecting you… You need to work on increasing your control over it.”

“Hmm… I think so too,” Aria replied, gazing in the direction of Silk City, where her family was currently staying.

“Ethan, let’s go… Silk City isn’t far from here,” Aria said, taking the lead.

Aengus followed her, spreading his wings in a flawless transformation. He picked her up in his arms once again, making Aria blush.

“You do like holding me close, don’t you? But I like it too…” Aria murmured, burying her head in his chest.

Aengus smirked lightly. “Of course…”

With that, their journey to Silk City continued, piercing through the sky like a flash of light. He flew in a smooth wavey path, making the experience more enjoyable.

“Mom! I just saw a shooting star!” A small boy shouted excitedly from a muddy road below, looking up on the sky in awe.

“A shooting star? Where?” His mother, a simple woman, looked up as well, but her excitement quickly turned to fear.

“That’s not a shooting star, son. It must be a powerful Hunter,” she murmured, staying alert.

“Wow! I want to be like them someday… to protect you, Mom!” the boy said, his voice filled with a dreamy longing.

His mother smiled gently. “I’m sure you will, Kian. Now, let’s head back.” She lifted him onto her shoulders, but the boy’s gaze never left the figures soaring through the sky, heading toward Silk City. Their destination lay elsewhere.

“Ethan, we here,” Aria said, pointing below.

Aengus slowed their speed, noticing the vibrant city below.

They floated above the bustling mid-sized city, alive with activity.

Their imposing presence quickly drew the attention of the citizens on the streets and in their homes.

Some closed their windows, not wanting to get involved.

Others looked up with displeasure, feeling that the duo showed no respect for the city’s laws as they hovered boldly above their heads, hurting their pride.

The lower ranks didn’t want to interfere, sensing the man and woman’s calm and confident expressions, as if nothing could deter them.

Just when Aengus and Aria landed on the road, they were immediately surrounded by a few C-Rank guards.

Aengus and Aria remained calm, but the guards could feel a powerful, suppressed force radiating from them, especially from the young man.

Upon closer inspection, they noticed that the unknown young man wore a sophisticated military uniform with seven stars on each shoulder. His upper garment was midnight black, with intricate gold streaks woven into the embroidery.

It was the temporary uniform given to him by the Generals, marking him as the Supreme of Liberation Empire.

The guards then judged he must be a high-ranking official from another kingdom or somewhere unfamiliar, as they didn’t recognize the uniform.
