Chapter 373 - Chapter 373: Chapter 353: Assassinate the King (2/2)

However, “Rift Moment” suddenly activated!

Time had stopped.

At that moment, the party seemed to be gently paused by an invisible hand, everything freezing instantaneously.

The air was filled with aromas of champagne and cigars, scents that seemed frozen in time, lingering mid-air, no longer dispersing.

Light softly sprinkled on delicate wine glasses and silverware, creating tranquil shadows that illuminated each detail with pristine perfection.

The guests’ smiles were still fixed on their faces, their eyes sparkling with anticipation and joy as if waiting for the next topic to unfold, their posturisms elegant as if sculptures meticulously crafted and frozen at this moment.

A drop of red wine slid from the rim of a glass, but it had paused in mid-air, like a red gemstone suspended.

In the distance, the band members’ hands were still suspended above their instruments, the notes appearing to be stuck in the air, waiting to be released, the entire venue enveloped in a mysterious tranquility as time lost its flow.

The next moment, time resumed its course.

“Bang!”

The current sovereign of Cyart, Noah, burst abruptly, his body exploding in a blur of golden blood and flesh scattered all around.

All the partygoers were shocked, followed instantly by a frenzy of screams!

“His Majesty Noah!”

“The King has been assassinated!”

“My God! What happened!”

The entire process unfolded so quickly that the people around could not react immediately, and by the time they realized what had happened, Chris had already disappeared into the crowd, leaving only the fallen flesh and chaos behind.

He quickly entered the sewer system of Cyart Royal Capital, planning to make his escape through it.

“…”

Just moments later, a dreadful figure appeared in front of Chris, blocking him directly.

The Wordless Elder!

His face was completely obscured, only a frail outline discernible, always silent, still emanating an exceptionally strong aura of death.

Chris sensed that the Wordless Elder’s strength had weakened considerably, presumably due to a severe soul injury from an attack by his sister last time, no longer possessing the strength of a high-level Monarch.

In that case.

He could try to kill him right here before the city’s barrier activated!

However, the sudden appearance of another person the next moment led Chris to abandon the idea of killing the Wordless Elder on the spot.

It was another powerful Monarch from the enemy, “Silver Poet” Aphrodus!

She spoke calmly.

“Don’t think about escaping, Chris Fischer.”

With two powerful Monarch experts before him, and the barrier of Cyart Royal Capital about to activate, Chris was not so arrogant as to continue fighting them and instead calmly considered how to retreat.

At the moment of entrapment, his inner depths suddenly became like a lake sealed in ice.

An unprecedented tranquility.

——

Meanwhile, back at the scene of the party.

The gold-hued flesh and blood on the ground, as if reanimated, began to twist and surge in the air.

Slowly, yet firmly, it flowed, sketching graceful arcs in the air like dancers gliding through the crowd.

As more of the golden liquid accumulated, it began to intertwine and merge in the air, gradually coalescing into a vague human silhouette.

“Is this a transformation of spiritual power into life force? It seems entirely different!”

“Oh God! What on earth is happening!”

“A miracle of the Lord of Salvation!”

People halted their actions, staring in astonishment at the spectacle, some with eyes wide, others covering their mouths, fearful their voices might shatter this wonderful scene.

The figure became clearer, ultimately solidifying into a golden human form.

The golden figure did not speak, but merely stood quietly, its profound and bright eyes watching everyone, the once chaotic party instantly falling silent, the crowd utterly awestruck by this bizarre sight.

With his features completely restored, the resurrected Noah stood in the central crowd, his body radiating dazzling light, as if a messenger from another world had descended.

Amid the astounded gazes of the crowd, he proclaimed loudly:

“I am protected by the great Lord of Salvation, possessed of an u
