1462 He is a Threat.
“He is not just awake…” Dagahra muttered, looking in the same direction.
“He is coming here.”
Those words alerted everyone present, even Nux, who was busy embracing his wives couldn’t ignore them. Even if he tried to, that horrifying pressure that was getting stronger and stronger made it impossible to ignore it.
“Father…?”
Even Aeliana, who is usually calm most of the time seemed affected by those words.
After all, this would be the first time she would meet her father after being able to stand on her own feet.
Faustina, sensing Aeliana’s troubled emotions, walked towards her and placed her hand on her shoulder.
“W-Why is he coming here now…?”
Aeliana questioned.
She only said those words because her feelings got the better of her, for Faustina, however, those words were like a bomb that made her widen her eyes in fear.
Yes, he was a man who didn’t make a move even when Yrniel was in danger, most of the time, he only released his aura before he went back to sleep, even in cases where he does make a move, he never shows his face to anyone. The enemies who see him end up dying, so the next day, no one even knows what happened.
This man had never shown himself after that day…
Then why…
Why was he coming here now…?
Faustina’s mind started moving. Analysing Azriel’s previous patterns, it was clear that the man only made a move when Yrniel was in extreme danger. Whenever he or Yrniel sensed danger, he would wake up, deal with the ‘danger’ and disappear again.
He only moved when he or Yrniel perceived something or someone to be a threat.
What could…
“NUUXX!!!!”
Faustina widened her eyes in horror and moved.
“Wha-” Nux frowned, before he could even understand why Faustina suddenly appeared in front of him and his wives.
BOOOOOOOOOM
A huge explosion occurred.
“WHAT!? WHAT IN THE HELL HAPPENED!?”
Saphira shouted in shock.
“Why would…?”
Dagahra had a frown on his face as well.
He wasn’t a fool.
He did sense otherworldly energy coming out from that boy today, he wasn’t alone, the rest of the Progenitors were the same, if before, they never took too much interest in Nux, after the commotion the boy caused today, it was pretty much impossible to ignore him.
But…
For Azriel to directly attack him…
“Wait…”
Suddenly, Caesar’s expression changed as well.
“Yrniel reacted to that boy…”
The rest of the Progenitors realized as well.
“Yrniel reacted the same way it did to Azriel… however, unlike Azriel, that boy uses some otherworldly energy… All this time… Yrniel wasn’t happy at the birth of another genius…
It felt threatened, so threatened that he was forced to personally make a move…”
Saphira analysed. The Progenitors narrowed their eyes, in an instant, they turned towards the direction Nux and his wives were standing in.
There, they saw Faustina, who was kneeling on the ground, with a trail of blood coming out of her mouth and pale skin. The woman was breathing heavily as she stared at the man standing in front of her.
Clearly, blocking the attack wasn’t easy, even for a monstrous existence like her. Just one simple attack and the Mother of all humans was already on her knees.
“Faustina…”
Seeing her condition, the Progenitors were surprised. They didn’t think she would actually decide to go against Azriel.
“MOTHER!”
Nux, who was late to react widened his eyes in horror when he saw Faustina’s condition. He rushed towards her to check on her condition, however, before he could do much, Faustina extended her hand, pushing him behind her as she continued to stare in front of her.
“Azriel,
Come out.”
She called out as she barely stood up at her two feet. Her body was trembling, Nux tried to support her, however, she denied his support and stared forward.
“Faustina…”
Suddenly, a heavy voice was heard.
Blood red mist appeared all over the place, slightly hindering even the Progenitor’s vision, then suddenly, A figure of a man standing in the middle of all that mist could be seen.
Long black hairs that flew along with the wind, calm blood-red eyes that seemed like they were looking down at everything in the world, pale skin, a face so handsome that for the first time in his life, Nux felt that he had a competition, of course, these he didn’t have time to ponder on these useless thoughts because much more than his face, the horrifying aura the man released grabbed his attention. The man wore a black suit with a red long coat over it, the blood-red mist that surrounded him added an even more mysterious vibe to him, raising his charm to another level.
Azriel’s Picture
The man, however, didn’t seem to care about minor stuff like charm and whatnot, his blood red eyes, ignoring everything around it, simply fell on Faustina, who, unexpectedly, made a move to stop his attack, even getting injured in the process.
“Why?”
It was a single-word question.
“He is my son.”
Faustina replied, her blue eyes shining intensely as she said those words.
Lilith, who glanced at Faustina was surprised. The same was true for the rest of the Progenitors.
As the Progenitor of the Blood Race, Azriel could easily sense that the two weren’t related by Blood, however, as someone who had spent a long time with this woman, he understood what she was trying to convey without any more explanation, However,
“He is a threat.”
Azriel called out.
He didn’t give any reasons like how Nux’s energy didn’t come from Yrniel, or how Yrniel reacted to Azriel. He knew the Progenitors understood all that. He also knew that the Progenitors trusted him and knew that someone he perceived to be a threat was indeed a threat.
After all, his opinion wasn’t his own, heck, he didn’t even know the boy he had attacked, he had been sleeping for a long while and only woke up because he was forced to.
The Progenitors knew that the Azriel was connected to Yrniel. The connection he had with the World was much stronger than any of them. Azriel understood Yrniel.
While they could only guess what the Will of the World was trying to convey, this man could literally communicate with it.
So if Azriel said Nux was a threat, it meant Yrniel perceived Nux to be a threat, a threat that should be eliminated.
“He is not a threat.”
Faustina spoke up, standing up for her son.
“Your emotions are getting the better of you, Faustina.”
“Or maybe your lack of emotions is getting the better of you, Azriel.” Faustina retorted.
A heavy silence descended all over the place, many thought that those words would anger the Vampire Progenitor, however, “You should rest.”
He spoke those words as he then waved his hand, Faustina widened her eyes in horror, she tried to resist, however, in front of Azriel, she was helpless, her vision blurred, then, he fell unconscious.
“Mother!!”
Nux shouted in worry.
Azriel, however, didn’t show any reaction, he hadn’t harmed Faustina, he couldn’t possibly harm a woman he considers his friend, however, he simply didn’t feel the need to explain himself.
The other Progenitors were the only ones he cared about and he knew that those beings already knew that Faustina was fine, this was the reason Caesar didn’t show any reaction even when Faustina fell unconscious.
Azriel’s thoughts were simple, as long as the people he cared about knew the reasons behind his actions and his intentions, a bug’s opinion or thoughts didn’t matter.
He had already spent more time in this place than he intended to anyway, with the resistance gone, finishing the job was the priority.
However, just as Azriel was about to move his hand again, he froze.
For the first time since he appeared, his emotionless eyes showed an expression.
“Nux, run.”
Aeliana, who stood in front of Nux spoke up.
“What…?”
Nux was confused, he couldn’t even understand what was happening.
“Get out of this place,” Aeliana ordered.
Nux gritted his teeth, his wives were all here and for some reason, this monster was hell-bent on killing him, there was no choice but to escape.
In the end, he opened [Core] as he and his wives escaped.
Of course, for someone like Azriel, it wasn’t difficult to stop him, the strongest Progenitor however… was currently wrapped with his own troubles.
“Aeliana…” The man called out, his voice, which held a certain dominant power, was now trembling.
“What brings you here, Lord Azriel?” Aeliana gritted her teeth as she questioned.
Those words pierced through Azriel’s heart. Right now, he wanted nothing more than to embrace this little girl standing in front of him, however, he knew that with everything he did, he didn’t deserve something like this.
In the end, he could only place a heavy stone in his heart and do what he came here for.
Azriel extended his hand, suddenly, the space around him cracked, with a simple gesture, the crack in the space widened even further and on the other side of the space, a beautiful world could be seen.
Yes, it was the [Core].
Without any keys or portals, the monster simply tore through the space and breached Nux’s last wall of defence.
