Chapter 636 - That kid has a death wish!
The two Blessed close to Young Master Andrews saw the palpating rage in his eyes as they sighed in their hearts while looking over at the scene of the veiled Imperial Princess talking with a nobody. They shook their heads as they thought in their minds,
'This kid really has a death wish!'
To be so nonchalantly talking with someone like the Imperial Princess, the two Blessed already said their prayers for this being as they tried to assuage the anger of the Young Master they moved with!
"We will gather more information about him as we ask the Covert Guard that should have taken his life what happened, Young Master…"
The Young Master's rage only continued to grow higher as he looked at the scene of the calm expression on the face of the Blessed as he talked to the Imperial Princess, numerous thoughts and commands coming from him as he began to utilize his position to find out all there was to know about this kid with a death wish- the Blessed known as Alexander King!
Meanwhile, Noah sighed as he looked around them at the peering gazes of many beings as he came out of his meditative position and spoke.
"It seems like you're bringing me trouble, your Imperialness."
A metaphorical vein seemed to pop in one of the Guardsmaids as she spoke in annoyance.
"It's Your Highness, Your Highness."
Maya gave Noah the proper term as he nodded with a smile towards them while starting to move away to spend the remaining few hours of the Trial in peace, the sonorous voice of the veiled Princess ringing out still.
"What is your name?"
The voice was filled with interest as the Imperial Princess realized the situation where this being was seen with her with the eyes of many Blessed who might each have their own intentions and interpretations about it, but he actually did not seem to be bothered by it at all!
"King, Alexander King."
RUMBLE!
Noah left behind the tendrils of Aether as he stepped away from this meeting, the Imperial Princess repeating this name in her mouth with interest as she laughed and also began moving away with her maids that looked towards Noah with careful eyes!
His figure disappeared among the clouds of Aether as the other Blessed also moved away, Young Master Andrews giving the direction that Noah had left in a hard look as his aura focused on the direction of the Imperial Princess with a palpating heart.
If even he did not have the courage to go up to her, nobody else should even think of sullying her presence, especially not a trash Blessed!
He sent a telepathic message to the beings he could control outside the Aether Carnage Realm as he schemed.
"Get ready a Blessed geared towards silent assassinations that cannot be tracked. Have them ready to intercept the trash known as Alexander King the moment that we finish the first Trial!"
His words were sharp as he chose to do everything silently, as he did not know exactly why the Imperial Princess was talking to that being, but he did not want to be tied to that being's death in any way if the Imperial Princess happened to hear about it.
Thus, he released a command as a Blessed proficient in assassination was prepared for Alexander!
---
The hours passed in the Aether Carnage Realm and many Blessed continued to be teleported out as their essence ran dry, only those with uniquely powerful Traits or those that had dipped into comprehending laws being able to withstand the deadly environments of this realm.
The Blessed had their own Yearly Imperial Selections, and so did Law Masters in their own regions. But if there existed Blessed who held a powerful Trait and also had the profession of a Law Master, these were the true peak powerhouses as they had many strengths reinforcing their power!
The first Trial of this year's Blessed Imperial Selection took out the Blessed that did not have Traits to grant them enough stamina to hold on in dangerous environments, or those who could not react to the unpredictability in the ever-changing and random environments of the Aether Carnage Realm.
Of the few hundred that entered, less than half had managed to stay until the very end and not break the Spatial Talismans!
RUMBLE!
Noah felt the Spatial Talisman he had on him break naturally after the 24 hours, his figure being sent out of the Aether Carnage Realm as he reappeared in the Imperial Thunderdome.
"Haha, we made it!"
"Brother, didn't I tell you I could do it?!"
Shouts of joy were erupting out from all around as around 200 Blessed were left in the Imperial Thunderdome, those that had been teleported out of the Aether Carnage Realm before the 24 hours already having been escorted outside.
In front of each of these slightly over 200 Blessed, new talismans appeared in front of them as they signified a status of beings that passed the first stage of this Selection.
"Good, good! Quite a decent amount of you remain after that!"
The vibrant voice of the winged Master Zeke erupted out as everyone put their attention to this being in the skies, taking the glowing Talismans in front of them as they listened.
"You all must be exhausted after 24 hours of constant danger, so you get a day's rest before the last portion of this year's Blessed Imperial Selection. But be warned...if you thought this Carnage Realm was too hard and you struggled too much, you will undoubtedly fail the other half of this Selection."
OOOM!
The reverberations made the faces of many serious as soon after, the voice changed to a boisterous one.
"Alright, go and celebrate for now and be sure to come back here tomorrow at this exact time!"
"Yeah!"
"Drinks!"
Shouts of joy erupted out again as the Blessed moved about, Noah giving a light smile as he moved out to the exit of the Imperial Thunderdome as he planned to gather more information in the next 24 hours about the Imperial Citadel and the Brightgold Monarchy it was in, as well as continue to read over the details of the powerful Imperial Princess.
Not too far from him, the party of the Imperial Princess and two Guardsmaids glanced towards his direction briefly, especially the powerful maids that gave him an inquisitive look. But they weren't the only ones as in another direction, the eyes of the Young Master Andrews were cold and devoid of emotion, a message coming to his mind as he was told the unfinished job of taking out trash Blessed would be completed today!
