1035 This is Nux we are talking about.
“You can still join in, you know? I won’t mind.”
Nux questioned with a small smile on his face.
Vedier stared at Nux for a while, then, his eyes fell on the other Heroes.
Elijah was just pummeled into the ground, Lucious was currently facing an existential crisis, Norana’s abilities were completely suppressed, her surprise attacks were not working as Nux would always react in time and block those attacks and the advantage of speed that she usually had when she faced an opponent was completely gone since Nux was faster than her.
Ariana’s strongest spell was blocked as if it was nothing, Balin was kicked away as his Artifacts didn’t work on Nux at all, as for Vulpiana,
Well, she nearly died.
Tails were known to be Foxkin’s most sensitive areas, just like how the elves were protective of their ears, the Foxkins protected their tails. That man, however, simply buried his face into Vulpiana’s tails, something she was usually protective about.
What was stopping him from simply beheading her?
All Six Heroes were thoroughly suppressed.
And,
“If you join in, this fight might become a bit more interesting.”
From the way he was carelessly stretching his body while the Six Heroes were glaring at him, that Incubus didn’t look like he had shown much of his powers.
Vedier frowned.
A simple question rose in his mind.
‘Can I do it?’
That one-sided display of strength against the Six Heroes, that absolute suppression, playing with them like they were nothing but children, could he do the same?
‘Heh.’
Soon, however, Vedier shrugged.
Of course, he can.
He was a Phase 3 Cultivator, even though he had just recently broken through, he was still much stronger than all the Sex Heroes combined.
His strength was enough to suppress all the Sex Heroes.
Heck, Vedier believed that he could do it much more efficiently than this Incubus in front of him.
Vedier was confident, the Devil was strong, incomparably strong for a Great Sage, Even someone like him admitted that he would have never defeated him if he was a Great Sage,
However,
Vedier was still stronger.
Much much much stronger.
“Defeat them and I will consider you to be qualified enough to battle me.”
Vedier commented as he looked into Nux’s eyes.
Nux raised his eyebrow, his purple eyes looking at the Dragon Hero with a curious shine in them.
“Still as arrogant as before.”
Vedier simply closed his eyes, not saying anything anymore.
“Just don’t regr-”
*Clank* *Clank*
Nux was about to say something, trying to get into Vedier’s head, however, he was interrupted by Lucious and Elijah who attacked him from behind. Two swords appeared in his hands as he blocked their attacks without turning behind.
Then, he rolled in the air and turned towards the two of them.
By now, however, Ariana had already prepared her spell.
“Icebound Infinity.”
A restrained spell that was dropped the temperature around Nux, aiming to lower the temperature of his blood and slow him down.
“Take this, you hateful bastard!”
Balin screamed as he threw a few metallic balls towards Nux.
Nux glanced at those balls with a curious look on his face, the balls then dropped on the ground near him and,
*BOOOOOOOOOOOM*
A huge explosion was heard.
Nux, of course, dodged the Explosion, he already activated [Blink Fault], it was the perfect way of defending himself and getting the advantage in the next attack.
He appeared behind Balin, wanting to kick him just like he did before, this time, however, Vulpiana appeared in front of him.
“Your offer, I reject it.”
She spoke, and then, she punched Nux away.
Nux quickly regained his balance, Ariana casted Icebound Infinity again, Elijah and Lucious teamed together to attack him.
Nux blocked their attacks, Vulpiana’s eyes then shined,
“Inferno Ignition.”
She casted another fire spell.
A combination of Ice and Fire attacks, it was lethal.
However, in front of Nux, it was all useless.
He simply appeared behind Vulpiana and,
“Well, I will get your permission to pet your head eventually,
Even though it might not be today!”
Saying those words, Nux finally started getting serious.
He placed his hand on Vulpiana’s back and,
“Firebrand Fury”
He casted his spell.
A 10 Star Spell, usually, casting spells of this level needed time, with *Essence* however, this time was minimized, and with Nux practicing his spells like crazy in those last 50 years, he could cast 10 Star Spells in an Instant.
*BOOOM*
Vulpiana’s body was blasted away.
“Vulpiana!”
Elijah shouted in worry.
“She will be fine, don’t worry.
She is stronger than she looks.
She would just be unconscious for a while, like you.”
“Huh?” Elijah heard Nux’s voice and widened his eyes in confusion.
‘When did he…’
However, before he could think too much, Nux attacked.
*Clank* *Clank* *Clank*
Elijah was pushed back, this time, Nux’s attacks were unusually heavy. Soon, Lucious came by his side as well.
The two heroes tried to take on the devil in a close battle, however, whether it was strength or speed, Nux overwhelmed them in both departments.
The Heroes were being pushed back, and soon, Norana jumped out of Elijah’s shadow and attacked Nux as well, her attack, however, was blocked by a Purple Black Spike. More Spikes then attacked the three heroes.
Soon, Ariana and Balin joined in as well, close combat wasn’t their specialty, however, they were still part of the Seven Heroes, they were also Complete Cultivators who were perfectly capable of supporting their allies in closed combat battles.
Nux was surrounded by the Six Heroes, each of them using their weapons to attack him,
A small smile appeared on Nux’s face, he wanted to use Blink fault to get away and gain some advantage,however, the Heroes did not give him any time to cast any of his weird abilities.
Even controlling Dark Amethyst was getting harder for him.
He was being suppressed.
Vyriana, who was watching the battle had an expressionless look on her face.
In truth, however, she was actually satisfied.
The Six Heroes worked together to defeat an opponent, that was a good thing.
They finally combined their techniques and didn’t just act on their own like they used to, Although Vedier didn’t take part in this, Vyriana knew that he, as a Semi Saint, would have shifted the flow of the battle.
Him staying behind and letting the rest of the heroes fight this battle was a better decision.
Vyriana was satisfied, not only by the performance of the Six Heroes but by Nux as well.
Honestly, she actually wanted to add Nux to the Seven Heroes, making him the 8th Hero, soon, however, she shook her head and decided against that idea.
Nux was in a league of his own.
He was a twen- well, now a Seventy Year old Great Sage, not to mention his strange abilities make him much stronger than most of the cultivators of his stage.
Vyriana believed that Nux would never fit in as the 8th Hero.
He would simply surpass all the Heroes and leave them in dust.
Vyriana knew that Nux was born for a much bigger stage, and today, Nux had proved it.
Six bests of the Younger Generations at the same stage as him were needed to suppress him, not any cultivator could do that.
Even though Nux did fail her challenge because of his own arrogance, his talent couldn’t be undermined.
Thinking about it, a small smile appeared on Vyriana’s face.
She was curious as to what sort of face that boy would make once she sees him after his defeat.
Would he get more serious than he is right now, or would he just shrug and continue with his life as if nothing happened?
You are enjoying this, Master!’
Suddenly, Vyriana heard her disciple’s voice in her head.
Astaria was using Mana to talk with Vyriana
‘I won’t deny that.’
Vyriana nodded.
‘I can tell that that boy doesn’t lose every day, so it is definitely something new to look at.’
‘Hmm? Who said that he lost?’
Suddenly, Astaria tilted her head in confusion.
‘What?’ Vyriana frowned in confusion.
It was apparent, Nux was being suppressed, of course, he still had some ways to get out of that situation, however, no matter what he does, it wouldn’t take long for him to get stuck in the same position again.
The Heroes had found a way to suppress him, they aren’t even giving him time to use his weird abilities. Not to mention that Vulpiana, who had passed out was about to wake up as well.
So even if this condition was considered a draw, with her addition, Nux was definitely on the losing end of the side.
However,
‘Nux hasn’t surprised us yet.’
Astaria spoke up.
‘What do you mean?’ Vyriana questioned.
‘Nux returned after 50 whole years, Master. This is the longest he had stayed away from us. Nux is someone who became a Great Sage when he was in his 20s, someone like him spent 50 years in a completely different dimension, away from the wives he loves the most in the world,
There is no way he didn’t return with something ridiculously surprising that raises his strength to a monstrous level,
After all, this is Nux we are talking about.
