Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse c1-705

by Adventure, Action, Fantasy, Game

  A distinct light could be seen covering the Imperial Princess who held a Trait of ridiculous proportions, a meeting between her and the being holding the Traits of [Protagonist] and [Infinite Mana] taking place amidst a raging Aether Storm!

  Chapter 635 - Who is that?

  Was it through the effects of [Blind Luck] and [Memorable Visage] or simply coincidence that Noah met the person with the fierce personage of the Imperial Princess?

  This was the same personage that was the daughter of the Imperial Adjudicator, the being standing at the forefront of the Imperials who controlled the entirety of the Nexus Galaxy and the many reaches it had across the Dark Universe!

  This Imperial Princess with a much too ridiculous trait was floating in front of Noah as an interested light passed through her veiled eyes, her Trait making it so that the powerful tendrils of Aether could not even touch the clothes on her.

  When one looked at her Trait of Vector Controller, they had to understand that Vector was a term that referred to the position, velocity, and force of something. A being that could control Vector could effectively control those same three qualities!

  This Imperial Princess was currently making it so that the tendrils of Aether could not even reach her as they were displaced elsewhere, and even if she allowed for them to reach her, she could change the speed they came towards her to be at a turtle's pace or she could simply control the force of the tendrils of Aether to be nothing more than a feather landing on her clothes!

  Such was an ability of a Vector Controller, and this was a very simplified description of it when one thought about all the possibilities she had when it came to her Trait.

  Worthy of being an EPSILON ranked Trait, worthy of an Imperial Princess of the force controlling the Nexus Galaxy!

  "You are interesting. What Trait do you have, if you don't mind me asking?"

  She said these sonorous words as the Aether Storm raged around them, Noah only smiling as he breathed in the surrounding Aether while replying.

  "A simple Auxiliary Trait called Analyzer that lets me be very knowledgeable of my surroundings."

  His words caused a doubtful expression to appear on the veiled Princess, but she nodded impassively as she looked around the raging storm around them towards a certain location that had begun shining with a dense orange hue. She smiled towards this as she knew her Guardsmaids were going overboard, the two of them utilizing their Traits as they were trying to forcefully tear apart the Aether Storm she was in the center of!

  KAAA!

  The fearsome sound of a phoenix erupted out as a blazing golden shape of a phoenix flashed outside of the Aether Storm, much of it being torn apart as one of the Nebula Rank guards holding a DELTA ranked Trait streaked through the torn Aether to return towards them.

  [Raya Von Saun](Trait) :: Golden Phoenix(DELTA)- The user can call upon the power of the Ancient Halcyon Phoenix to aid them.

  Noah recalled the Trait of this maid he had seen from the [Eyes of Truth] as from another side, an even more shocking power ripped apart the Aether Storm still trying to rage around them.

  RUMBLE!

  Noah observed as the very tendrils of Aether themselves burst into colorful blue lights as a cylindrical path was created, the other maid that was clad in a shocking blue aura of flames also making her way over as they reduced the force of the Aether Storm by a significant amount, its raging force beginning to die down around them.

  [Maya Von Saun](Trait) :: Essence Burst(DELTA)- The user can convert all elemental energies into a burst of destructive energies under her control.

  Two sisters, each with their own shocking DELTA ranked Traits, reappeared grandly around the Imperial Princess as they apologized.

  "We are sorry for leaving your side, your Highness!"

  They said these words as they continued using their Traits to forcefully erupt the Aether Storm around them, even though they could see that the Imperial Princess was not even the least affected!

  On one side, the image of a terrifying Ancient Halcyon Phoenix opened its beak as the purple Aether was washed away with a blazing gold, the other side having the Aether burst into dispersing blue essence as another Trait was utilized.

  Thereafter, the eyes of these Guardsmaids honed in towards the singular being standing near the Imperial Princess who seemed to have an amazed look while looking at their colorful skills!

  "Hmph."

  The Guardsmaids came back protectively around the veiled Imperial Princess as the Aether Storm around them was fully and forcefully dispersed by their fearsome power, the event having even called over other Blessed as they felt the fearsome power of Traits they never came across before.

  The few that were nearby and came were greeted with the sight of the veiled Imperial Princess talking to a figure sat in a meditative position in the skies, the auras of the two Guardsmaids that drew them in being just as bright as ever!

  But it wasn't the shocking levels of energy that made their eyes nearly pop out of their sockets, but it was the scene of the Imperial Princess talking to the Blessed floating in the skies that shook them!

  "That is…"

  "Who is that?! How dare he…"

  Many could not help but voice out their opinions as in the next second, a powerful aura of a Blessed came over as he also saw this scene, his face turning incredibly dark and sour.

  Young Master Andrews had entered the scene while accompanied by two other Blessed beside him, his gaze nearly spitting flames as he saw the inviolable Imperial Princess actually having her presence sullied by someone else!

  "Who...is that?"

  He gritted his teeth as he said this to the two Blessed behind him, this Young Master of the Light Dawn Household of the Imperial City not even being able to recognize one of the beings he had called for the death of the night prior as he wanted to prevent cases like this where a rugrat was staining the presence of the Imperial Princess to ever occur.

  "Err...we don't know yet, Young Master. I'm sending the image of his face over to our information network, we should get a name briefly."

  One of the Blessed beside him spoke with sweat dripping down his back as he worked fast, where he came out with a name and shocking information a second later!

  "He...he's actually one of the targets that should have been taken out last night by the Covert Guards, an ALPHA ranked Blessed with an Auxilliary Trait…"

  CRACK!

  The very air around them cracked as a few beings turned to look their way, noticing the palpating essence around Young Master Andrews as his power threatened to rage and spill out at any moment.

  The being he aspired to even be close to, the esteemed personage that even the highest of Nobility ever saw...a being with a trash ALPHA ranked Auxiliary Trait was actually so nonchalantly standing next to her?!

  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 bringi
ng 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!

  Chapter 637

  Noah continued to think about the information of the shocking Traits of the one known as Imperial Princess as well as her guards as he moved out of the Imperial Thunderdome and went to explore the wide Imperial Citadel that was as large as multiple continents in his own Infinite Realm .

  He wanted to establish himself and gain more strength before he associated himself with such terrifyingly powerful figures, but he would take things as they came because such figures showing even a slight interest in him was good, their background really being too grand!

  As he left behind many of the cheering Blessed that passed the Imperial Selection, he delved back into the heart of the Imperial Citadel as he observed this fascinating city and its people more .

  A majority of the beings he came across were humans, with those that weren't being similar to Master Zeke as they were simply humans with animalistic features . Of course, much of what made him excited was the food of a Realm in an entirely new Galaxy, so he was ready to go into a specially large restaurant to enjoy himself first .

  His eyes were reading the information of a restaurant that his [Eyes of Truth] said was among the very best establishments in this expansive Imperial Citadel, and he was already taking steps towards this place when suddenly . . . he felt a powerful essence pass through him!

  'Hmm?'

  In front of his eyes, the people that were just passing around him or even the restaurant in front of him had all but disappeared as he found his sight looking around an area filled with clouds!

  "Hmph, making me move just for a mere Star Forging Blessed with an Alpha Trait? This Andrews is really becoming spoiled . "

  A cold voice rang out from all around as Noah saw his surroundings seemed to all be endless areas of rapidly roiling cloud, realizing he was in a different spatial space through the use of a skill or Trait!

  But . . . he did not need to guess as the [Eyes of Truth] were telling him everything about it at this moment .

  His face adopted a solemn expression as he seemed to 'fearfully' look around, the cold voice ringing out again .

  "You can say your prayers now, little guy . You are in my [Cloud World]! It is my Trait that allows me to seamlessly transport myself and other targets into a separate space as everything that happens within never ever gets a chance to leave . "

  "Ahhh, why did you have to offend someone as spiteful as that young master…"

  The voice seemed to mourn for Noah as it came from all sides, this being that was proficient in assassination because of his Trait collecting his powerful Nebula Rank essence as he prepared to deal a deadly blow to the 'weak' Blessed that showed a panicked face amidst the roiling [Cloud World]!

  "Ayyy…"

  A pained sigh seemed to ring out as the being sent out a strik
e, but his eyes bulged when he watched the Blessed in the middle of the roiling clouds suddenly disappear, his chest feeling extremely cold and painful thereafter as from his hidden location deep in the clouds, the figure of Noah reappeared!

  " . . . Blergh!"

  A mouthful of blood was spat out from the Nebula Ranked Blessed as he felt his eyes were deceiving him, but the strike of Aether Ray that had passed through his very heart and Origin seemed to say otherwise as the youth behind him came closer, putting his hands on his body as a calm voice rang out .

  "Richard Mazin, 269 years old, commonly known as the Swift Cloud Assassin with the interesting Trait of [Cloud World] . "

  …!

  Alarm showed on the body of the Swift Cloud Assassin as he heard his hidden name and correct age uttered from the mouth of this being as he felt his essence move slower as his life began to leave his body .

  "You . . . how…!"

  GUH!

  Another mouthful of blood was spat out as Noah waved his hand to destabilize the space around them, the roiling clouds nearly coming to halt as he continued speaking .

  "You [Cloud World] is nearly unbreakable once you bring someone in the same realm like you or lower, and it is why you have been able to have an impressive assassination streak of 1,839 since you began working for the Light Dawn Household of the Brightgold Monarchy, wow . "

  His voice seemed to have a tinge of praise as he talked, the Swift Cloud Assassin only becoming colder and colder as his feet slumped to the ground, his mind in turmoil as this being in front of him spoke of things that nobody should know!

  'Just what exactly is this fiend?! What did that stupid young master send me to kill!'

  Regret was welling up in the heart of the Swift Cloud Assassin as none of his questions were answered, not even knowing how it came to be that he was dying as Noah's voice continued .

  "[Cloud World] is definitely unique as it hides your aura and body among the clouds with your enemies never being able to know where you are, being able to strike them until they are dead . Alas, you ran into me where my eyes told me exactly where you were…"
