1373 I am sure she wants the best for you.
“Your shield huh…
That’s quite a strong Law, especially considering that she has the power to block one attack regardless of how strong it is and has the ability to teleport next to you. This is no different than having a second life since even an attack that is capable of killing you in one blow can be defended.”
Faustina spoke with an impressed look on her face. Then, she glanced at her son and, “I know I have said it before, but you have surrounded yourself with quite an amazing bunch of women.”
“They are the reason I work so hard.”
Nux replied with a smile on his face.
He couldn’t be prouder of those lovely women.
“Not only is she strong, but she also uses her head and thinks about the future before making any decision, I can see where the Devourer got her head from.”
Faustina didn’t end her praise. Despite Riona not forming an Absolute Law, she was still able to impress the Human Progenitor.
After all, even though Astaria and Amaya may have given the impression of otherwise, the Laws of Absolutes were extremely rare. Even the greatest talents of the world aren’t completely sure of being able to form an Absolute Law.
Heck, just the fact that Vyriana was able to form such a Law and was instantly taken in as Saphira’s disciple was enough to tell how big of an achievement it was.
“More than her Law, you need to focus on the two questions she asked herself before forming her Law.”
Vyriana spoke up as well.
Unlike Thyra, Riona wasn’t shameless enough to hold back her cultivation on purpose and used the Power of her Path to become a Semi Saint and then a Saint, directly converting her Path into a Saint.
Just like Evane, the woman completely skipped the Semi Saint Stage.
It was because Riona was mature enough to understand what was more important right now.
Yes, spending time with Nux was something that would make her go to lengths that she never did.
Right now, however, Nux was at a critical juncture of his cultivation journey. Despite him laughing and spending time with them, the fact that he was burdened by everything around him couldn’t be ignored.
Riona, who could feel his burden decided to sacrifice her turn and let him leave right after telling him about her Law and how she formed it. An act that made Vyriana acknowledge her.
Of course, the Dragon had no clue how the Assassin, or… now the Shield, was planning to use this in the future to her advantage.
After all, as Amaya’s mother, Riona wouldn’t possibly have done something without thinking about different ways to benefit from it later. Especially considering this was something she did for Nux, in this case, she would never forget about the ‘benefits.’ After all, they were simply too good to ignore.
“What do I regret in my life?
And how will I make sure to never have any regrets in my life anymore huh…”
Nux muttered the two questions Riona told him about.
For Riona, the answers to these questions were clear.
She regretted sending her daughter to the Skyfall Kingdom, she regretted the fact that she couldn’t see her daughter grow into the amazing woman she grew into, she regretted not being able to protect her daughter.
These regrets were something, that to this day, ate her away. Missing Amaya’s childhood, sending her to a monster like Ricardous to fend for herself, Riona hated herself for that despite Amaya already forgiving her.
As for the answer to her second question, well, that was quite clear.
Now, together with Amaya, she finally found another person who made her life complete, she decided to protect these two people and always be there for them when they needed it, these feelings were the basis of her newfound powers, The Law of Last Protection, the Law that helped her protect her loved ones and teleport next to them whenever they are in danger.
For Nux, however… these questions didn’t help much.
“Do you have any regrets?” Vyriana questioned, looking right into the man’s eyes.
Nux turned silent and started thinking.
From the start of his life till now, he never once had any regrets. The System made it easy for him to get anything he wanted and even though he did work hard for everything he had till now, training till he was near Death’s door for hundreds of years, he still didn’t have anything he regretted.
All the decisions he took till now, he was proud of them.
Even in the situations he had no control over, the case with Arvina for example, he still didn’t regret his choice, the woman rejected him, and he decided to give her the space she wanted, that was the end of it.
“I might have one regret…”
Suddenly, Nux spoke up after considering everything.
“What is it?”
Both Vyriana and Faustina leaned forward.
“Not being able to spend enough time with my wives,” Nux replied and Vyriana’s mouth twitched in annoyance.
Right now, she wanted nothing more than to punch this bastard and this time, even Faustina started at her son with a deadpan look on her face.
She had seen a fair share of shameless fellows in her long life… her son, however… toppled them all.
“We are going back to training.”
Vyriana spoke, snapping her fingers as she finally lost it.
She had been too patient with this man. She needed to take things a step further now.
“Also, we will be focusing on an entirely new set of variations now.”
“New set of variations…?”
“That is correct.
We will work on different variations where you fight without your limbs.” Vyriana revealed and Nux’s mouth went agape.
“What…?”
He blinked a few times, making sure he wasn’t dreaming, soon however, he felt an agonizing pain coming from his left shoulder, he turned his head and noticed that the dragon had pulled out his left arm.
“You will be fighting without your limbs, Nux Leander.”
Vyriana spoke with a crazy look on her face.
Nux turned towards his mother for help, Faustina however, just smiled gently and, “I am sure she wants the best for you.
So I wish you luck, son~”
