Chapter 536 Mythical Knight
“Please be assured, Your Highness! We will not allow even a fly to get close to you!” The one who spoke was Tristan Stonefist, the Commander of the Dragon Guards.
Alaric smiled at his words. He then closed his eyes and focused his attention on absorbing mana.
Everyone quietly watched as the energy from the surroundings slowly converged on the training ground with Alaric at the epicenter.
As more mana congregated around him, the supposed shapeless and colorless energy gradually became visible to the naked eye. It started as wisps of pale blue that, little by little, turned increasingly denser as the seconds passed by. The wisps of pale blue energy turned into a thicker hue of blue.
A soft sigh was heard among the crowd of onlookers.
“This is the first time I am witnessing someone advancing to the realm of Venerables. What an amazing phenomenon!”
“I once read in a book that a new Venerable will be born when a blue tornado hits. The mana around His Highness is slowly turning into a tornado.”
Alaric was absorbing mana so fast that the dense energy gathered around him violently twisted and turned like a tornado.
At this moment, Yvanna together with a group of people arrived, their faces flickering with shock.
“What is going on here?” Earlier, the elven princess was doing administrative tasks when Mathilda told her about the unusual phenomenon.
At that time, she thought that Mathilda was just messing with her, but when she looked through the window and saw the waves of mana slowly taking shape, she immediately recognized it.
She had seen something similar happen in the Greenwood Kingdom when Lucas Silversword advanced to become a Mythical Knight.
It was an unforgettable moment for her and the elves who had witnessed that scene.
Galanar made a shushing gesture and pointed somewhere.
Yvanna raised an eyebrow and followed the direction he pointed. She gasped.
It was Alaric!
“Ah!”
She heard Mathilda gasping behind her.
More and more people came to see what was going on, but Galanar and the others didn’t allow the irrelevant people to get near the training ground.
At the thirty-minute mark, the energy around Alaric turned a shade darker. The waves of dark blue mana twisted vigorously, causing fearsome winds to strike the training ground.
Everyone put their arms in front of them to shield their eyes from the dust.
“What is happening? Why is the mana tornado turning dark blue?” Someone from the crowd asked with a look of confusion and surprise.
“There is no need to be alarmed, everyone.” A calm voice drifted into their ears.
Hearing this, everyone in the training ground turned their heads and realized that it was Caecus who had spoken.
“Do you know something, Sir Caecus?”
Caecus kept his eyes on Alaric as he replied. “Light blue energy represents the birth of a normal Mythical Knight, blue represents a slightly more powerful one, and dark blue energy represents an absolute Mythical Knight. This means that once His Highness completes his breakthrough, his power will soar higher than that of other Mythical Knights.”
The crowd widened their eyes in disbelief.
They wondered how he knew such information, but no one dared to ask him to explain.
While everyone was digesting his words, another change occurred. The violently twisting dark blue tornado suddenly stopped spinning.
The waves of dark blue mana also darkened even further and turned purple.
The calm purple energy made everyone feel refreshed. A few Knight Apprentices who were nearby even advanced to the Knight realm due to the dense amount of mana that gathered in the area.
Looking at the calm purple energy that enveloped Alaric, someone could no longer hold back their curiosity.
“Uhm, do you know anything about this, Sir Caecus?”
The crowd looked at Caecus.
To their disbelief, the usually calm man now revealed a look of surprise.
Caecus took a deep breath to calm himself. “Purple energy… I thought it was a myth… it means a perfect advancement. Once His Highness completely absorbs all the energy that he needs, his strength will surpass that of the renowned Venerables we all know.”
“What?! Is that even possible?!”
“Oh my Aru!”
A few more hours trickled by and the dense wave of mana gradually dispersed. The purple energy around Alaric slowly disappeared, as if everything that they had seen earlier was nothing more than an illusion.
In the next moment, an overwhelming pressure suddenly descended upon them. It was as if gravity had multiplied significantly.
The sudden pressure forced the weaker ones to kneel. The stronger warriors managed to stand on their feet, while only the Elite Knights and above remained unaffected.
When Alaric opened his eyes, the overwhelming pressure immediately vanished.
“I’m sorry about that. I still can’t control my own power.” He apologetically said when he noticed the situation.
Hearing his voice, the crowd regained clarity.
“Your Highness!”
“Congratulations, Lord Venerable!” Caecus bowed deeply.
“Congratulations, to the new Venerable!”
“Lord Venerable!”
Everyone congratulated Alaric, bowing their heads deeply.
Looking at the respectful crowd, Alaric smiled faintly. “It’s thanks to everyone’s efforts that I managed to safely advance. We must prepare a grand banquet to celebrate my advancement!”
“That is a very good idea, Lord Venerable! We will arrange it immediately!”
“Lord Venerable is wise!”
Alaric chuckled in amusement. He could feel the subtle change in everyone’s attitude. They were now more respectful and careful with their choice of words.
“Good! You may all leave to prepare for the banquet.” He gestured with his hand.
Hearing this, everyone bowed and quickly left after bidding him farewell.
The only ones who remained were a few people.
Yvanna looked at the dashing young man.
“Should I call you Lord Venerable now?” She jokingly said.
Alaric smiled at her. “Your father wouldn’t dare reject if I proposed for marriage now.”
Yvanna didn’t expect him to bring up this topic when there were still people around. Her face reddened, but she pretended to be unaffected.
“I still have to help with the arrangements for the banquet so let’s continue this later.” She turned around and left with Mathilda.
Alaric chuckled as he watched her escape.
