Aaron''s soul flew and entered the man''s body. A powerful burst of energy happened that shocked many people, especially those outside the house.
Aerith saw a white gem in Aaron''s hand, the Volcano Essence Gem. Aaron had apparently managed to snatch it from the me Apex group.
"Come out and hand over the Volcano Essence Gem!" dered Eliane''s voice, echoing outside the house to the surprise of all the Tree Dove group members.
Aaron was still in readjustment mode with his body after he used the Soul Intervention ability. It took about 10 minutes for Aaron to finish synchronizing with his body.
"I have to protect him from that damn woman," Aerith revealed.
Without thinking, Aerith flew strongly out of the house, damaging the roof. Aerith''s appearance, apanied by an intense maroon light, was enough to startle Eliane.
Eliane squinted her eyes, her fire magic already appearing in her right hand, preparing to attack Aerith. Aerith did the same.
"Aren''t you the woman who was with that man yesterday?" asked Eliane, still remembering.
"It''s an honor to know you, Eliane!" stated Aerith.
Aerith threw her maroon magic forward, taking the form of thousands of sharp arrows ready to pierce Eliane''s body. The woman gasped, never expecting Aerith tounch her attack on her.
Eliane pointed her hand forward, forming a wall of fire magic to block Aerith''s magic arrows. But, Eliane was stunned to feel that Aerith''s magic pressure was stronger than she had imagined.
''Why is she strong too?'' asked Eliane, shocked.
Aerith stopped her attack and flew quickly forward in a sh of maroon light, her figure already beside Eliane to make the woman gape in shock.
"Leave us alone!" snapped Aerith.
SMASH!
She swung her legs from side to side, hitting Eliane right in the waist as she failed to block Aerith''s physical attack.

The kick attack was followed by a powerful sound and an intense magical thump, throwing Eliane''s body far to the north until she hit the hills and trees of the forest.
"Damn it! You really challenged me to a fight, huh?!" snapped Eliane, leaving the forest area and returning near Aerith.
The two fought not with magical techniques but rather an intensified physical battle. A pulse of energy was felt every time they attacked or defended, causing strong gusts of wind to blow and energy distortions to ur in the skies of the Tree Dove base.
To Jacob, this was his form of fear. Eliane hade here and knew that Aaron had gotten the gem, but to Eliane, this was an inter-group matter.
Even if Jacob tried to negotiate, the result would be bad for him, his members, or his group.
Several Tree Dove members looked up at the sky. Their eyes could not keep up with the speed of the two women''s attacks and defenses. All they saw were shes, distortions, and bursts of energy.
In the battle of the skies, Aerith was quite dominant because of her better skills. Also, she managed to find gaps in Eliane''s strength.
Eliane''s position was desperate. If she couldn''t think of another way to attack, her magic energy would run out, and Aerith would defeat her.
''Damn it! I have to find a way to strike back,'' revealed Eliane.
Eliane flew away with her breath caught; Aerith felt the same way. The two stood at a safe distance in the sky, each using the moment to rest for a while.
''It''s easy for me to defeat her, but I don''t know if I can defeat her quickly,'' Aerith said.
''The longer I wait, the less good this fight will do me,'' Aerith exined.
From Eliane''s direction, the woman began forming aplicated andplex hand formation, chanting a certain magic spell that Aerith did not know.
When she was done, she directed her magic into the sky to bring forth a thunderous roar of red lightning.
The lightning strike was capable of destroying buildings and trees in the area. Jacob didn''t want his base destroyed, so he ordered all his members to form a cube-shaped protective wall.
"Uhuk!"
Due to using power beyond her ability, Eliane''s body responded by vomiting blood. Still, it was all for a good reason. That woman needed to defeat Aerith so that she could seize the gem.
"I will kill you and get my gem back!" dered Eliane.
The sky split open, the red glow of fire gathered together and began to form the figure of the Vermilion Bird, a legendary bird on Earth.
The Vermilion Bird was quiterge in size, and its entire body was filled with the power of the fire element.
Eliane pointed her hand downwards, targeting Aerith. The Vermilion Bird roared loudly, then flew down like a falling meteor, visible energy distortions along the direction of the attack.
"Your power could destroy this ce!" threatened Aerith.
"If that''s what you want, then I''ll deal with you!" dered Aerith.
Maroon magic energy gathered in Aerith''s right hand, forming a ck hole the size of an adult. With that power, Aerith could withstand the energy surge from the vermilion bird''s attack.
Aerith aimed the ck hole upwards and shed directly with the vermilion''s attack. A loud explosion urred, causing the area around the magic sh to tten to the ground.
The protective cube of the Tree Dove base was shattered, and some of the buildings in the basepound were destroyed and copsed.
Aaron opened his eyes after the sessful synchronization, two things came to his attention.
First, he obtained the Volcano Essence Gem, meaning that Emily''s path to healing was opening up. Secondly, he felt the intensity of a strong magic battle happening close to his location.
From the characteristic thump and the magic aura it gave off, Aaron knew it was Aerith.
He kept the gem and immediately flew into the sky, approaching the epicenter of the magic st. Aaron''s appearance near Aerith spontaneously startled Eliane, but the woman did not notice any Volcano Essence Gem on the young man.
"You? What are you doing?" asked Eliane.
"Stop this fight before you destroy half the mountain!" insisted Aaron.
"I won''t do it until I get my gem back."
Aaron saw the seriousness on Eliane''s face. It seemed that the woman ignored Aaron''s wordspletely, which was enough to convince Aaron.
He looked to the side and saw Aerith sweating and showing her tired face. Not wanting the situation to worsen, Aaron activated his talent.
[Main Talent Activated]
[Sub Talent Activated]
[Dark Dimensional Portal]
[MP -60000]
[Name: Aaron Lewis]
[MP: 1215000/1525000] [-60000]
Thousands of portals appeared around the magic sh area, more precisely around the vermilion bird that was smoldering in mes.
Aaron moved his hand upwards, ordering hundreds of monster hands toe out and destroy the vermilion bird''s magic.
"Akh!" Elianeined, feeling another force trying to destroy the legendary magic of the fire vermilion bird.@@novelbin@@
Even so, the monster''s hands from the portal did little to destroy the magic. In the end, it could only have an insignificant impact.
''It seems to be a sacred ability passed down through generations,'' Aaron said.
''There''s no other choice. Aerith and I must go to the Dark Dimension.''
Purple magic light appeared on the two fingers of Aaron''s right hand. Without thinking, Aaron swung his fingers from right to left, revealing a dimensional rift that was quite surprising to them.
Eliane didn''t know the function of the dimensional rift, but since Aaron was the one who acted, it definitely wouldn''t have a good impact on her.
Aaron held Aerith''s hand, making the woman''s attention focused on Aaron. Quickly, Aaron and Aerith entered the Dark Dimension just before the energy explosion urred.
BLAST!
The two energy sts urred right after Aerith released her control over the ck hole. Eliane was significantly affected by the explosion, while the entire area in a 900m radius from the center of the explosion was destroyed and killed many people, including Jacob.
"Shit!"
"They escaped. Why didn''t I realize that before?!"
As Aaron expected, the impact of the energy sh was the explosion that followed. It was fortunate for both of them that they managed to escape in time. Otherwise, there was a possibility that they would have been injured by the explosion.
They arrived at the Dark Dimension. From Aaron''s eyes, Aerith looked exhausted from everything that had happened.
Slowly, however, her exhaustion disappeared as the energy from the Dark Dimension restored her again.
Aaron took the gem from his storage. He showed it to Aerith, which was a good move because Aaron had indirectly obtained one of the materials to create a cure for Emily''s curse.
"Just a few more materials until we can make the anti-curse potion," Aaron said, putting the gem back into storage.
"That''s right. However, she still needs a reversion spell for the curse," Aerith exined, recovering as she absorbed energy from the Dark Dimension.
"We''ll find clues about that spell or other materials once we arrive at Noah City," Aaron said.
Noah City, one of the three major cities in the Dark Pir Tower, was on the 50th floor, with most mages in the Great Sage and Great Wizard tiers.
This time, maybe Aaron would find some magesparable to his, but it was different when Aaron was in Lilith City, where all the mages were below Aaron''s ability.
"Right. We don''t need to be in a hurry, right?" asked Aerith. Aaron returned the response with a nod of his head.
The situation on the 45th floor was not conducive; Eliane was probably on a rampage to the point of threatening all the groups on the floor to help her.
For Jacob''s fate? Unfortunately, that man and his group couldn''t do anything about it. He had died with the Tree Dove group destroyed.
"Are you gonna go outside?" asked Aerith, Aaron shook his head.
"It''s too risky to be outside. We should wait here for a while," Aaron said.
"After I recover my body, I''ll check the Dark Pir area. If the Raid Monster opens, I''ll let you know, Aaron," Aerith exined.
"Thank you, Aerith."
