Chapter 412: Only Two Shall Be Permitted!
....
"..."
After hearing Azmond's response, the nun thought he was playing a joke on her, but she still said, "You must be under the age of one thousand to be eligible for the Awakening Ceremony. If your Peak Unity Form Synthesis Realm strength is any indication, then you're already past that age limit."
Her voice came out in a cordial and professional way; however, it looked like the visitor was being stubborn as he said, "Then everything checks out, so let's head in."
Azmond had already passed the voluptuous nun as he was about to take a step toward the other side of the large doors standing in his way.
But before he could, the nun's figure blurred as she materialized in front of him before saying, "You are in the Unity Form Synthesis Realm, and that girl is in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
It's impossible for either of you to be under one thousand years old, so please go back from whence you came."
Her voice was beginning to lose its cordialness, as she was starting to become a little irritated over these visitors attempting to play her for a fool.
Azmond had an indiscernible glint flash past his eyes, as through his mask, one would see a plethora of thoughts going through that head of his.
After a few moments of thinking, he said, "Just check our bone ages."
Azmond had already altered what would show up on their bone ages through his Godfiend technique. But it wouldn't show up as anything being changed if anyone below the Lunar Ascendancy Realm was looking.
The nun observed the calm and collected demeanor of the man before her as she thought, 'Is he not playing around?'
She became a little astonished over that notion coming to pass. But regardless of her surprise, she was still obligated to answer the visitor's request.
And that's exactly what she did as she stuck her hand to the wrists of Azmond and Calista, checking their pulses.
A few seconds of silence passed as the nuns' astonishment became more and more apparent.
Even through her mask, one could begin to make out a beautiful woman with her mouth agape.
"T-This is" She murmured with a voice of disbelief.
"How can you both be under four hundred years old???" The nun questioned.
Azmond's smirk grew a little under his mask as it looked like his Divine Godfiend technique always came in clutch.
Nonetheless, he walked over to the dumbfounded nun and stood over her far smaller frame before he leaned down into her ear and whispered, "You going to let us in or not~?"
Azmond followed up this action by blowing a little into her ear before backing away and returning to his group.
He, of course, got an earful from all the jealous women in his party, but he eventually soothed things over and walked toward the two large golden doors in front of him.
The nun, on the other hand, was still recovering from what just happened, as a deep blush formed on her face.
'T-This visitor is a brazen one! How dare he conduct himself in such a way before a Holy Nun of the Holy Cathedral!?' She thought with an aggrieved expression.
She, who was known as Thalia, one of the Seven Holy Sisters of the Holy Cathedral, was treated in such a flirtatious way by a mere boy!
It was unacceptable!
However, in spite of her grievances, she was required by law to go and open up the doors for any qualifying visitors, so that's exactly what she did.
*Tap Tap*
Thalia took slow and elegant steps toward the two golden doors, passing by Azmond at a faster pace before she went up to the doors and put her hand on them.
"SWxXfGJIiTH" She spoke in an unusual dialect as she closed her eyes and waited for the colossal doors to open up.
And it didn't take long before
CREAK!
The two golden doors creased open, creating a crack that eventually spread out until both doors were wide open.
After reaching this point, Thalia turned her head in the direction of the large group before she said, "Only the man and that little girl will be permitted into the Holy Cathedral. The rest of you will need to wait out here until the Awakening Ceremony is completed."
Azmond's brows furrowed at this request.
But after thinking it over for a second, he found it fair enough, so he looked at all the pouty girls behind him, and in a kind tone, he asked, "Can you all wait out here for a few minutes?"
His voice came out like honey for the girls, and although they wanted to tag along with him, they all reluctantly nodded their heads before conjuring up chairs to sit on.
Azmond was going to take the brown-haired beauty off his back as well. But when he saw the vicious glare Boundless gave him when he tried to do such a thing, he immediately scratched that idea.
It wasn't like it really mattered whether she came along or not, considering that only those who were classified as 'special existence's to the system' or those in his Main Party could see her.
"..." "..." "..."
However, it seemed like the rest of the girls thought about it differently, as they looked at Boundless, clearly thinking about how unfair it was!
"That dumb cow is looking for a little alone time with Azmond, isn't she!?" Clawdia questioned with narrowed eyes.
"If it weren't for Calista being there to keep her in check, I never would've stayed back," Ember said with a conflicted look on her face.
All of the girls were having similar thoughts as Ember and Clawdia. And while they were thinking about that treacherous ghost lady, Azmond, Calista, Emu, and Boundless were walking through the halls of the Holy Cathedral.
Despite the sacred and sacrosanct outward appearance of the Holy Cathedral, the inside was quite leary and a little bit spooky.
At least, that was the case for Boundless and Calista, who were both clinging onto Azmond for dear life!
