Chapter 5: Noble Rank, Dark Era
Chapter 5: Noble Rank, Dark Era
Noble Rank. Regardless of whether it was humans or monsters that had reached the Noble Rank were all high and mighty existences. They were looked up to and worshipped by their kind.
They could be considered as overlords even in the ancient era.
Any Noble Rank experts among the humans would be conferred titles by the Human Alliance. The Noble Rank was divided into five ranks, Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron.
The Duke in Noble Rank was the strongest while the Baron was the weakest.
However, even the weakest Baron would be able to suppress all existences below the Noble Rank.
The classification of ranks in this world was clear.
Spiritual Rank, Supernal Rank, Earth Rank, Sky Rank, Noble Rank. After the Noble Rank, there was the King Rank. That was already the top existence of the Human Alliance. However, it was rare in the world. It was hard for ordinary people to encounter them. They had only heard of legends.
Rumors said that King Rank experts were on the other side of the river of time and space, blocking the invasion of monsters that wanted to destroy humanity. Every King Rank expert was an existence comparable to the gods.
As for those higher realms, they were legends. Legend said that there were even more powerful existences, even stronger than the gods in the ancient era. However, they had already disappeared in history. No one knew if it was true.
Occasionally, people would flip through the pages of history and read the cliff-like historical records. They would guess what kind of power allowed humans to survive in that Dark Era.
The battle between the angels and demons, and humans being caught in the middle in the battle of the gods in the Dark Era. No one knew how they survived.
And no one knew who claimed the victory in that era. However, since then, humans began to grasp the ability to awaken their Endowed Supernatural Ability. The gods rarely appeared, the battle between the Angels and Demons had moved to the dark, and fortresses were built one after anothe with the rise of humans.
Inheritance and civilization were born.
However, these were only legends. No one could be sure that the rumors were the truth.
As for whether there were any hidden experts in the Human Alliance, only the top people in the Human Alliance knew. Moreover, Fort Vienna was not considered one of the 72 most important fortresses in the Human Alliance. There was a Noble Rank existence nearby. Furthermore, it wasn't until the aura of life evolution was released that it was discovered.
That caused Earl Vienna, who had sent people to investigate several times, to sink into a state of shock.
The Noble Rank experts were the top combat strength in this era where even the King Rank doesn't exist. The birth of each Noble Rank expert would affect the entire world's structure, and the closest Fort Vienna would inevitably be affected as well.
"Come out!" The Earl Vienna's voice was steady, and a man quietly appeared behind him. The Earl Vienna ordered without turning around, "Go and see who is advancing!"
He could not hide the pounding feeling in his heart as he stared at the enormous dragon's phantom in the air. A life-threatening pressure was constantly pressing down on him, which made him very shocked. The aura of a Noble Rank had not dissipated, and it was clear that it had just successfully advanced. However, the aura made him, the Earl, feel depressed.
Would Fort Vienna still be safe if he was given time to grow?
"Wait!" Earl Vienna called out to the man behind him, he turned around and said solemnly, "You are a Sky Rank, and you can control the weather within a certain range. If the enemy's hostility is obvious, I want you to fight against it with your life and create large-scale weather changes as a warning. At the same time, you must understand that there will be no support. Do you understand?"
The man's expression did not change from beginning to end, and he calmly said, "Yes, my master."
The Earl Vienna looked at this man, and a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes. His man might not even be able to fight against a Noble Rank expert for even some time. The gap between a Noble rank and a Sky Rank couldn't be surpassed or counted. However, that was the only way at the moment.
That would be the biggest failure of his duty if he did not do anything!
Earl Vienna raised his hand, and just as he was about to let the man leave. Suddenly! The colors in the sky changed, and the aura that reflected in the sky disappeared.
It was as if some powerful force had directly erased it.
The night sky once again returned to calm. The red moon hung in the sky, emitting a faint light.
What was going on?
Earl Vienna was confused.
"Earl!" The sound of rapid footsteps and anxious shouts came from outside.
The Earl Vienna waved his hand at the man behind him. The man silently disappeared into the shadows, like a shadow returning to the darkness.
He was skilled and natural.
"Earl!" The guard rushed in, knelt on the ground, and reported, "The strange phenomenon in the sky has disappeared!"
"I saw it!" Earl Vienna said with dissatisfaction. However, he understood that such a phenomenon caused a great impact on these guards, who were only at the Supernal Rank. The suppression of their lives had made them panic, which was why they kept talking nonsense.
"How are the people outside?" Earl Vienna asked.
A hint of hesitation flashed across the face of the guard, and he said with guilt, "Those people naturally went home to sleep. However, some adventurers said that there were treasures in the wilderness, and they insisted on going out to search for treasures. They have already formed a group and are going into the wilderness."
"Nonsense!" Earl Vienna was furious. Those adventurers were all supernatural beings with weak Endowed Supernatural Abilities, and they were not willing to accept the arrangement of the alliance. They lived by hunting monsters. What if they angered the owner of the aura just now, stepping into the wilderness at such time!
Just as Earl Vienna was about to give the order to stop them, he suddenly stopped.
He rubbed his thumb, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The guard knelt on the ground and waited for the order.
"Do you think?" The Earl Vienna of Vienna suddenly said, "Is it better for the adventurers to go and check out the Noble Rank's attitude than personally sending our men?"
The guard didn't know how to answer.
Earl Vienna didn't expect the guard to give him any advice. He directly ordered, "Open the fort and let them go. But you go to the Hope Society now and ask them to send someone to follow as well. Use investigation as an excuse and secretly follow those adventurers. Immediately report back if there's anything unusual!"
..
As the main culprit that caused the scene, William did not know how much chaos he had caused. Even the Earl Vienna had almost led the people of the Vienna fort to escape.
Crack! Whoosh!
He broke out from the large cocoon formed from Dragon Breath. A stout and strong body slowly walked out. The large black cocoon behind him turned into a stream of light and drilled into his body. A powerful force expanded in his body.
His body transformed after fusing with the Ancient Dragon God Bloodline. His appearance became even more handsome and charming. All the impurities in his body were burned. He became as pure as glass, and even his skin became cleaner. Moreover, an endless stream of life energy continuously washed over his body.
William clenched his fists and tried punching casually forward. Unexpectedly, a stream of airflow was produced. A faint sound of a storm was heard. The strength of this body was at least ten thousand catties of weight. The strength of this body was no less than that of a Supernal Rank expert at his peak level.
