1143 I need to talk to Nux
“She was Lazy Vyriana.”
“What…?”
The people inside the room couldn’t believe what they heard.
Lady Vyriana…?
This was a name that almost everyone in the Order knew. Even if they hadn’t met her personally, Vyriana’s name alone was enough to strike fear in people’s heads, enemies and allies alike.
“Why is Lady Vyriana here?”
“Hell if I know.” Rauna retorted.
She was having a blissful day, she only had to oversee a match, a match where one of the cultivators was known to have an extremely handsome face. Rauna was actually looking forward to overseeing a challenge for once, but then a woman appears in front of her and tells her to leave.
At first, she was annoyed, however, that unreasonable woman then unleashed her aura, pressing her down and making her cough out blood. If she hadn’t given in, Rauna was sure that she would have died.
‘That crazy bitch…’ Rauna cursed inwardly.
She had never met Vyriana before, today, however, one of her questions was answered.
The reason why her name was so infamous.
It was because she was an unreasonable bitch that resorts to violence the moment things don’t go her way.
“But why is Nux Leander close to Lady Vyriana…?” someone in the room questioned.
“Also… wasn’t he acting way too casually for someone talking to Lady Vyriana…? From what I know, Lady Vyriana has crippled people just because she didn’t like the way they talk.
How is that man still alive…?”
More and more questions were raised, the room’s atmosphere turned graver and graver.
“We need to look into the matter.”
“I agree.”
“Don’t mess with ExceedoGenesis till then.”
“And what if they try to challenge us?”
“Huh? Why would they do that?”
“I doubt the ExceedoGenesis plans to stay silent after finally announcing their return after 150 years. Not to mention the way he ended that challenge, it looked like an open challenge.
An open challenge that called all of us out.”
“You are looking too deep into it.”
“Are you sure…?”
“…”
“If he comes for you, then there is no need to hold back. We respect Lady Vyriana, but in Order, connections don’t matter, it is the Strength that does.”
The people in the room nodded.
…
Nux’s battle hadn’t just surprised the crowd, the Heroes, or the Top Clans alone… The ‘World Leaders’ were the same, rather, their shock was on a completely different level compared to them.
“…so this was what Mel was talking about.”
Ambrosia commented as she finally realized.
‘A strength that cannot be described with words.’
This was how Melia had described Nux’s strength, at the time, Ambrosia just thought that her daughter was trying to make it more mysterious to overhype her husband because she loved him so much.
Now, however, she finally realized it… Most people here, those Executive of the ‘Top Clans’ included, couldn’t sense what Ambrosia and other Divine Stage
Cultivators could, this was the reason why none of the Divine Stage Cultivators present here said a word ever since the battle started.
The speed at which Nux reacted and responded to Darain’s attacks… even the Divine Stage Cultivators failed to follow through that…
This observation came with a fearful conclusion, a conclusion no cultivator in the entire world would ever agree with.
Heck even now, the Divine Cultivators who noticed that hadn’t said a word. Alaric was one such example. He stood in his position, motionless, even after Nux had left the stage, he still stared at where Nux stood, possibly replaying what he saw today and trying to find if he missed anything.
Lyriana, Eisheth, the Three Human
Emperors, and two Demon Lords, all of them had the same, grim looks on their faces. They all did their best trying to find if there were any tricks involved, but no matter how much they thought about it, they couldn’t find anything.
“Arcturus.” Suddenly, Alaric called out.
At times like this, he decided to turn towards the most battle-crazy one, if it was him, Alaric believed he must have an explanation of what just happened.
“Did you find something strange in today’s battle?”
Alaric questioned directly.
“Yes, I did.” Arcturus nodded his head, the expression on his face was even grimmer than the other Divine Stage Cultivators.
“What?” Unable to contain his excitement, Pyrax questioned.
The others were curious as well, what they didn’t know, however, was the Arcturus was thinking about a completely different thing, “The Skills Nux Leander used, the
Devouring Mist and those Purple Black Spikes,
They are the same skills that the Devil used.”
Arcturus spoke as he narrowed his eyes.
Ambrosia and Lyriana narrowed their eyes.
Alaric, on the other hand, frowned in confusion,
“What the hell are you talking about? They are similar, so what? Nux can use
Devouring Mist because he has Devouring Mist Demon Physique, I have sensed it before, as for those purple-black spikes, it could be a similar skill to what the devil used.”
“I have searched the entire Yrniel, Alaric. I even went to the Order, however, I couldn’t find any skills that were even slightly related to those purple-black spikes.
And now I am seeing an equally powerful, if not a stronger skill. Do you think that it is a coincidence?”
“What are you trying to say?” Alaric questioned as he narrowed his eyes.
“Using similar skills, having a connection with Lady Vyriana, and even having
matching facial features,
No matter how I look at it,
Nux Leander and the Devil seem to be related to each other.”
Arcturus commented.
“I need to talk to Nux.” He spoke.
The other Divine Cultivators’ expressions changed. None of them had forgotten what happened that day, Devil had nearly killed Arcturus’s son and humiliated him in the process. Heck, Arcturus even tried to kill the Devil and if it weren’t for Lady Vyriana, the Devil would have died there.
The relationship between Arcturus and the Devil was anything but good, Arcturus meeting with Nux related to matters regarding the Devil…
“Arcturus, you need to-”
Alaric tried to step in before the matter got worse, however,
“It wasn’t Elijah who nearly died, Alaric.”
Arcturus’s expression was dark.
He still hadn’t forgotten that day.
“I need answers and he is the only one who can give me those answers.”
Saying those words, Arcturus disappeared.
