Chapter 194 194. WILD
"They are a awfully lot this year," a male voice rang out within a wide golden room, five other individuals sitting around the table he sat in front.
"Well we did record a number above twelve thousand. It\'s not our highest but it\'s been a while that many people desired to join," a purely red haired lady spoke. Her eyes remaining focused on the golden illusory screen that broadcasted the mass of people in front of the white mansion.
"I guess most of them just want to be on the right side before the growing tension explodes into something nasty. And besides, most of them out there are simply here to witness the take-off. It\'s practically an event on its own, at this point," another man spoke, and the room immediately fell silent.
Amongst the five Individuals four male and one female, was Rhy. And from his silence; it could be understood that the five Individuals around the table held higher authority than he.
Furthermore, although the experts radiated no aura whatsoever, it remained evident that they held great power.
"I hope this season isn\'t as uneventful as the last. We\'ve even changed a few events to allow us spot interesting individuals," another male individual spoke, his expressionless face not matching the energy in his voice.
"Oh I\'m sure it won\'t," Rhy suddenly announced, when he managed to spot a particular white -haired fellow, making his way towards the white building.

Breaking forth from the barricade of humans, Noah noticed how that annoying crowd never crossed a particular portion of the street, allowing for multiple Individuals to walk towards the forming line.
\'Probably the aspirants,\' Noah thought walking towards the largest line which led Into the mansion. His eyes fully on the grand looking building before him.
\'How did i not notice this earlier,\' Noah wondered, perplexed.
Although the sight didn\'t do more than startle him for a few instants, it still felt weird how a such large building could exist there, and the other buildings beside it didn\'t look damaged.
Heck they were the exact ones he remembered seeing two weeks earlier.
\'They probably stretched the land-space the run-down building stood on,\' Noah concluded. Even at that he wondered how they were able to execute such a delicate process so blantantly.
As far as he remembered, all such manipulated spaces were usually within an already established body. Expanding the land space would mean that area itself was an enclosed space.
\'If it isn\'t that, then this has to be some really high level work,\' Noah thought, stepping forward.
"Your ring?" A fully armoured man ordered, stopping Noah\'s movement on the line.
Revealing unto him his illusory stats, Noah watched the person seemingly pause for a second before glancing at him again.
At least it seemed so. The man\'s face was fully covered with a silver helmet, which was the color of his entire armour.
"Go there," the armoured man gestured at another line. This one being far shorter than the normal one.
Doing exactly as he was told without much thought, Noah momentarily ignored the individuals on the line before continuing his former evaluation.
"White haired man!" A feminine voice suddenly called out from somewhere behind him, but Noah simply ignored it.
"White haired man!" The voice called out again, but he continued to ignore it stepping forward on the line.
\'There has to be some other person with white hair right...\' he frowned, feeling something prick his senses.
\'Don\'t i know that voice,\' Noah thought turning to the direction of the voice; and behold, there she was; the perfectly endowed lady Ariana, standing on the long line he had just exited.
Noticing his attention, she shot a big smile towards him, startling him.
\'What the fuck is she doing on that line,\' Noah thought, but it eventually dawned on him when he saw her display a set of illusory panels holding Information.
However, before he could try to say anything, he felt an incredible pressure land directly on his soul realm, trying to shake it, but it remained un-moved.
He had stepped into the bounds of the white mansion, and the scenery around him quickly warped to reveal an immense golden room.
Shaking off the annoying feeling he experienced from that distortion of space, Noah swept his gaze on the Incredibly large room, immediately confirming that his eyes couldn\'t make out its end.
"Please go this way," a silver amoured man promptly gestured at them upon their arrival, leading them downstairs.
Surprisingly they had arrived at the top floor of that space, and were required to proceed downstairs.
Two armoured individual led the group of seven down the spiral stairs which had hundreds of multicolored inscriptions running on their surface.
Glancing down the over 600m height needed to reach the ground, which unlike the top floors had no rooms and was simply a flat surface that stretched for multiple kilometers in every direction. Noah caught sight of a scene that made his heart skip in excitement.
There were rows upon rows of moving humans who looked like ants from that height, but that wasn\'t the sight that caused his excitement. No, it was the sight of hundreds of magical beasts that did so.
However, those beast weren\'t just any beasts, they were flying beasts of different species.
Noah had never seen so many magical beasts in one place. Even bozolom paled comparison, coupled with the quality and size of those beasts, he couldn\'t help but get excited.
Due to the Incredibly large amount of beasts. And their power being above even the middle-stage of tier 3, Noah perceived the air in that massive place stale, as a result of the multiple powerful auras.
He would never survive if that many beasts were set loose on him, afterall even tier 4 beasts were present!
Which was why his Instincts constantly warned him of danger.
Having never seen any beastd in that level, Noah felt unable to remove his gaze from their Incredible size, and their seemingly unspecial looking figures.
Focusing his gaze on a large crimson redish-orange bird which sat un-moving. Noah felt mesmerized by its colour, as nothing seemed special about it apart from its sensually deafening power.
However, Noah\'s senses could tell that it remained one of the strongest beasts even among the tier 4 ones.
The group eventually arrived on the golden coloured floor, and their guides continued to take them further into the room, passing hundreds of tier 3 beasts and multiple groups in the process.
Of course that event put everyone apart from the armoured individuals, on edge.
But now that they remained close to the beasts for tens of minutes, they could clearly sense their docile state. Even if the beasts held more power than them combined.
Their guides led them deeper into the room, this journey of sorts taking over an hour to complete, but no one complained.
They eventually arrived before a large cyan feathered beast in the fourth tier. Its height towering over 35m, and its length comfortably tripling that number.
And to Noah\'s dismay immediately his group arrived before the terrifying beast, he felt its dark-red eyes land on his tiny figure, and his instincts inevitably ran wild due to it.
