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. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

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.

"This should have words." Dana realized a few minutes into the show.

Azov chuckled. "It’s actually a historical play, set to music. The chase and mating of the first Bunny Saintess. See how they weave between the curtains? It originally showed how the pursuit ran through the long grass."

His whispered voice barely carried across the table, but Dana nodded. Now it made more sense. It had just been adapted for a wider audience so that they could get crowds to watch the stories of their Goddess, even if they didn’t all know what the show was.

The music changed to something close to the industrial dance music of the Golden Dragon Nation, and the show changed along with it, bringing in more dancers and what looked like a dramatized battle scene with extra flying beastkin.

The show ended with two of the dancers sliding down entwined silk sheets to land on a pile of pillows on the stage, and then a dramatic curtain drop, followed by thunderous applause from the crowd.

Once the show was finished, the guests slowly began to make their way out of the restaurant, but Matilda motioned for Karl and Dana to wait.

They were soon alone in the formerly packed venue, and Karl heard the staff locking the doors.

"Perfect, now we can discuss important things. Like the wedding cake." Matilda declared.

Karl smiled, while Dana rolled her eyes, becoming used to the Dragon’s antics after spending so much time wedding planning with her.

"It’s where Bishop Misty sent me into the past to find Cara. It was a chaotic place even then, so I can only imagine what it’s like now." Karl explained. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
