Chapter 1165: Competing Auras
As soon as he finished speaking, two competing auras clashed on stage, and the guests cheered, even as they erected barriers over their tables to prevent damage to the weaker members of their parties.
But it was just a crude contest to attempt to suppress the other’s aura so that they could shine.
Karl was sure that he could do far better.
Still, it was good entertainment as the two ladies kept the perfect political smiles on their faces as they battled for dominance.
They weren’t hostile auras, they were carefully calculated to be friendly and welcoming, but at Mythic Rank they were still far too intense for most of the spectators to handle.
Finally, one of the contestants rubbed her temples and retreated from the stage, leaving the other to bow to the crowd and collect the prize.
That marked the end of the contest, but it was far from the end of the night’s festivities.
Plates of dessert treats were brought to the tables, along with fresh drinks, and the stage was set up for some sort of dance show that involved a trapeze. That was a new one to Karl, but everyone else seemed excited about the spectacle, so it must be more than just an obscure side act.
"Please welcome the dancers of the Goddess of Life and Rebirth Temple." The announcer declared, right before a slender beastkin man made a running leap from the trapeze platform to catch the hanging rope and swing to the other side, where three others hopped on and rode it to the various hanging curtains.
Slow, sensual music was put on, and the dancers began to twirl and spin in the air, showing off not only an incredible level of strength, but agility and perfect timing as well.
