Chapter 454 - Those Watching

"Reiner and Zula, you're next!"

The World Rank Grandmaster Onillus randomly picked the next two combatants as two Celestials brimming with power stepped out.

Both were at the Domain Expansion Realm, with their Fate Lines fairly close to one another.

But each of them was a genius in their own way, with one being proficient in the law of water on top of the law of fate, and the other being proficient in the law of air. Mastery of two laws paired up with extremely deadly techniques allowed them to be called geniuses, many of the other beings in the group of 32 participating Celestials being this way!

There were very few like Noah, Athena, Lila, and Xander that held the titles of those with Noble Fates, with the Special Existences like the Three-Eyed Fate Child and Grandmaster Light being even rarer.

The match between the genius celestial Reiner and Zula was much longer than the first one, with the two Celestials being very close in power. They put up a delightful fight that was nothing like the first one, but their mastery of two different laws caused many beings to turn their eyes as the winner was decided to be Reiner!

"Elias and...Crixus, you're next!"

As soon as the battle finished and the field cleared, Grandmaster Onillus called for the next match, his words causing Noah's White Crystal to light up as he stepped forward calmly.

His entrance towards the center of the field of battle caught the attention of not just the Grandmasters that were with Vredral in one of the Prime Warsh.i.p.s, but even more so the forces of the Dark Expanse that were watching.

As they heard the name, Elena and the others had their eyes shining with strong emotions, the being they all followed stepping up grandly to face a celestial that was considered a genius.

Malthus the Spatial Magician was near Elena as he had a dark pearl on his chest that acted as a button to close his robe, this dark pearl being one that sent back a feed of all the events occurring in front of their eyes to the Scholar's Guild in the Dark Expanse.

Although Malthus was sent this item a few hours after he informed his superiors that the Celestials were putting up a tournament with their most promising geniuses and grandly showing it to the public with no worries, even he did not know exactly what beings were watching on the other side.

Were he to know, he would be shocked to the point of choosing to change his demeanor as he held the dark crystal and attached it to his robe! This was because in an expansive ovular hall at the center of the Dark Expanse where the Scholar's Guild was located, powerful auras that would shake beings to their cores were watching.

There were a decent amount in this ovular room that was located in a famous Mage Tower of the Scholar's Guild, but the ones of more importance and worthy of note were few. 

One was the current Guild Leader of the Scholar's Guild, the one known as the Grand Magician, Edrusim!

Another was the ruler of the Archeon Clan that represented all Vampyres in the Dark Expanse, Vladivostok! 

Last and not least, a more shocking figure that very few would be expecting to be casually sitting with others...was actually an Infernal Lord.

To be exact, it was the 2nd ranked Infernal Lord, Voldred!

He was lazily glancing at Edrusim as he spoke out.

"Did you really call me here to watch the battles of Domain Expansion Realm beings, Young Edrusim? So what if one of them is a future World Realm expert, even the weakest Infernal Lord can match ten World Realm experts with ease."

The Grand Magician Edrusim looked at the Infernal Lord as he replied coldly.

"It's a good chance to learn more about the enemies we will face, and it's better than beating you at chess again."

"Hmph."

A grunt was all that met Edrusim as he turned to the leader of Vampyres of the Dark Expanse, Vladivostok.

"How much control does your Clan have over this Crixus? He has yet to use the vial you procured from me."

On the face of Vladivostok, a wide smile that showed the huge canines spread as he replied calmly.

"You know that Vampyres all follow the ranks of bloodlines. I have one of my trusted soldiers, Elena, who has a purer bloodline than most and comes even close to me watching this Crixus. I control Elena, she controls this Crixus. A command from me would be all it took if you really want to hurry the release of that prisoner on the 7th Celestial Star."

"... let's watch what his skills are exactly first. He has somehow gone from the Void Realm and into the Domain Expansion Realm in a matter of months, so it seems he really does have a talent in the law of fate. We do not want to carelessly throw this piece away if he was able to climb the ranks of Celestials this fast. Imagine if he got an even higher position as the war begins..."

Edrusim replied to the Vampyre Ruler Vladivostok calmly as they watched the figures of Noah and the other genius Celestial called Elias enter the field of battle, the command to start being given by Grandmaster Onillus!

Over the side, the 2nd Infernal Lord was looking closely at Noah's face, his expression that of confusion as he seemed to have sensed something he should not be able to sense from looking at the moving image on the screen, this feeling causing him to tilt his head as his lazy eyes tried to discern exactly what he felt.

The other beings in the ovular room of the most powerful Mage's Tower kept extremely quiet as they felt the oppressive strength of an Infernal Lord, a Vampyre Ruler, and one of the strongest Magicians in the Dark Expanse.

All of them were watching one thing, a battle that was in full swing as the scene of it brought surprising expressions to their eyes!
