1119 He was asking for it.
“…”
Amaya and Vyriana stared at each other for a while, then, unable to contain herself, “What are you doing here?” Amaya questioned.
“Isn’t that something I should be asking you? You should be training, why are you here?” Vyriana questioned back.
“I am here to meet Nux.”
“Have I not made it clear enough? He needs rest.”
“I am not here for what you are thinking.”
Amaya tried to clarify.
“Amaya Leander, let him rest. I am not asking for a long time, give him a few months, you know him already, he will come to you himself.” Vyriana spoke in a firm tone.
“Even if you are here to just talk to him, don’t. He needs sleep and that is what he is doing right now.”
“He is sleeping…?” Amaya narrowed her eyes.
“That is correct.”
There was no change in Vyriana’s expression.
Amaya, however, was still doubtful.
She was talking to Nux just a few minutes ago but then, he told her that he was talking with Vyriana but then suddenly Nux stopped answering her.
At first, Amaya waited for a while, but when Nux didn’t answer her for 5 whole minutes, she decided to come here.
“As I said, he may not show it, but his mind is tired, he needs rest.”
“Then what are you doing here?”
Amaya questioned.
“Do I need a reason to be here?”
“Didn’t you say Nux needs rest? Then shouldn’t we all leave him alone?” Amaya spoke.
Vyriana stared into her eyes and, “Unlike you, I wouldn’t be waking him up. I am not interested in having intercourse with him.”
Amaya didn’t know what to say.
“Now go back. Don’t forget, the time here flows 25 times slower than in Yrniel, a minute wasted here is close to half-hour wasted in Yrniel.” Vyriana ordered.
Amaya stared at her for a moment, then, she bowed her head and returned.
Vyriana’s eyes then fell on Nux who had a bruise on his face.
‘He was asking for it.’
She muttered inwardly and closed her eyes.
…
Time passed and surprisingly, after passing out from Vyriana’s punch, Nux woke up 2 months later. Vyriana was right, his mind was tired and he needed ample of rest.
“2 months…” Even Nux was surprised when he realized that so much time had passed.
“Why did you not wake me up?” he
“Why would I do that?” Vyriana replied.
“No wait, leave that.” Nux quickly shook his head, then, he looked at Vyriana and with a flattering smile on his face, “Were you sitting here all this time?” he questioned.
“Stop dreaming, boy. I have other arrangements I need to focus on as well.”
Vyriana replied.
She often observed the women training and gave them a few pointers here and there, she also left the Veiled Eden two times and the rest of the time, she stayed here, ‘protecting’ Nux.
“Heh.” Nux chuckled.
Vyriana didn’t like that smile and wanted to punch him again, however, this time, she decided to control her urge.
Nux then stood up.
“I need to see my wives.” He spoke.
“Do whatever you want.
Just know that being here in Veiled Eden is an incredible opportunity, so even if you do decide to waste your time doing some useless things, do that is Waranal.” Vyriana spoke. Nux smiled playfully as he nodded, then walked towards his wives.
The women quickly gathered around him, everyone checking up on him one by one, the group conversed for a few minutes, then, Nux finally grabbed Evane and disappeared.
Just like Vyriana suggested, they were going to ‘waste time’ in Waranal.
This was how the rest of the days were spent.
The wives trained their skills or spells for 18 hours a day, the rest of the time, they spent together with Nux, catching up with each other even, talking about how Nux spent those 100 years in Waranal and just flirting and playing around.
Every once in a while, Nux ‘kidnapped’ one of his wives and took them to Waranal and spent a week with them, ‘catching up’ with the things they couldn’t catch up on in the group.
And since a week in Waranal was barely a few minutes Veiled Eden, the wives’ time wasn’t wasted either.
It really was a cheat.
‘I am glad that I have marked Waranal with [Core].’
Nux thought inwardly and smiled.
Anyways, the women’s training continued, Nux on the other hand, was forced to sleep at least 3 days a week, he did try to claim that his body would lose its touch if he continued with the same schedule for years.
He, however, had underestimated Zenith Flow.
The moment he activated his skill, his muscle memory kicked in and his body returned to its peak condition. That was the benefit of having possibly the strongest Battle Skill to ever exist in the world and a body that was recreated using Essence, an advanced form of energy.
5 years quickly passed by, the women continued to train to the best of their abilities and the efficiency boost they got from the Veiled Eden was a big help, but even then, 5 years was not a very long time.
Vyriana’s condition of Mastering at least 3 Spells or Skills to a Big Achievement Level before proceeding to the next Stage, none of the women were able to complete it, therefore, none were allowed to step into Phase Four of the Cultivation.
The women didn’t mind either.
They understood the importance of having a stable foundation, also, they had no reason to rush things up.
After all, they still had 50 years they had to spend in Waranal again.
And this time, there would be no Nux or Vyriana around them.
“Are you done with your final greetings?
The next time you will be seeing your husband would be 50 years later.”
Vyriana spoke.
The women all nodded with serious looks on their faces, Nux had done so much to get stronger, now, it was their turn.
“Do not try to bite more than you can chew, thousands of years have passed in Waranal, so new beasts must have replaced almost all the beasts we killed there last time, so stay within your limits.
Remember, your main priority is not hunting beasts, but surviving.
Is that clear?”
“Yes, Lady Vyriana.” The women nodded.
“You can choose a leader of your lot yourself, I will also make sure that this man won’t be coming to Waranal no matter what happens, so don’t expect anything, everything will be in your hands.
I hope you survive.”
Vyriana spoke as she waved her hands and sent Nux’s wives away.
