“Nux…?” Nux glanced at his wives who were looking at him with surprised looks on their faces. “What happened?”
Nux questioned. “Nothing, we were just confused about how we were suddenly brought to this place and then you appeared right after Lady Aeliana disappeared.” Amaya answered with a neutral look on her face. “Aeliana was here?”
Nux questioned. “She was.” Vyriana nodded. “And she disappeared right after I came?” Vyriana nodded again. ‘That bastard…’
Nux cursed in his head. Of course this wasn’t a coincidence! That Vampire planned it all! ‘Strongest my ass. He is just a coward.’ Nux snorted inwardly. Vyriana, who knew exactly what he was thinking just shook her head, “What did you two talk about?” To say that in front of the strongest being in the world…
She questioned in order to change the topic. “Nothing much, I just told him how I was going to take his daughter away from him.” Nux shrugged.
The women all stared at him with dumbfounded looks on their faces, they knew Nux was brazen. This never changed from the beginning, but… To say that in front of the strongest being in the world…
And that too, knowing fully well that it was a sensitive topic for that being… Not many had the galls to do it, especially when he himself wasn’t that close to Aeliana. After all, Vyriana knew that the only reason Aeliana interacted with Nux was because he was hers and Melia’s husband. Of course, the fact that he was the strongest prodigy Yrniel had ever seen helped as well. As the Leader of the Ancestral Order, even without her or Melia’s connection with Aeliana, she still would have interacted with Nux eventually, their relationship however, would have been a lot more professional in that scenario.
Nux’s feelings for Aeliana were clearly stronger than what the other felt, Vyriana could sense it well, and for Nux to still say those words in front of Lord Azriel…
Vyriana was speechless. Of course, she knew there were other things Nux and Azriel talked about as well, but since Nux didn’t say anything, she knew it wasn’t important right now, or Nux had something more important to do. And the Dragon was correct. Nux indeed had something more important to do. “Anyways, shall we leave?” “Do you know where this place is?” Vyriana questioned. “I don’t and I can’t sense anything either, It must be Lord Azriel’s personal dimension.” “Then how are we supposed to leave? I tried opening [Core] but it didn’t work.” “He must have placed a restriction or something, it should work now.” Nux spoke as he waved his hand and just as he expected, a portal formed right in front of him. “…” The women stared at him in silence, with how confidently he spoke, it felt as if he personally knew what Azriel was like. Which was somewhat true. After all, the two of them were quite similar to each other. “Did you hear about what happened to Yrniel when Lord Azriel left it for a few seconds?”
Suddenly, Felberta asked a question. “Let’s talk about it after we get inside [Core], shall we?” Nux smiled lightly. “Who knows? The walls here might have ears.” Nux spoke as he glanced in a particular direction, it wasn’t clear if he had sensed anyone or anything, but since they were in an unknown place, the women decided it was right to first go back home before saying anything. One by one, the women walked into the Portal, at the end, Nux glanced in the same direction once more, then, with a light smile on his face, he walked into the portal and the portal closed. “…” Complete silence fell over the place. Then suddenly, as if the place’s very purpose was over, it started withering away. Starting with the sky, then the flora, the ground, the walls, every single thing started withering away without any signs of stopping. In the end, only a dead land with gloomy space was left. …
On the other side, as Nux and his wives walked into the portal, once again, Felberta stood in front of him and, “Lord Azriel’s connection to Yrniel is dangerous.” She commented.
The Death of 10 Divine Stage Cultivators affected all of them. It didn’t matter even if they were only incomplete Divine Stage Cultivators, the problem was that those cultivators died without even knowing what happened to them. The same was true for every other being who died as well. There was no explosion, no natural disaster or anything like that, everything and everyone just… withered. The buildings fell, the flora and fauna died, the ground cracked, all the life energy seeping out of it, and the same was the case with the people, all of them just… fell… They all fell until there was nothing left and there was nothing anyone, even the Divine Stage Cultivators could do about it. The only survivors were the ones who were away from the affected area.
And this alerted Nux’s wives, especially Vyriana and Felberta. This isn’t how things usually worked. Even after the world’s core is destroyed, its inhabitants don’t just die, the weaker ones lose their cultivation, yes, but the stronger ones, mostly the ones above Divine, only lose their ability to cultivate. And when they join some other world and connect with it, they can easily continue their cultivation journey as well. This was extremely common in the outer worlds where wars, betrayals, and destruction were common. People dying just because Azriel Ruinous left Yrniel for a few seconds was extremely frightening. What would have happened if he hadn’t come back in time? What would have happened if he never returned? What about the people of Yrniel? What about people who weren’t even there and were training in another dimension? What about Nux and his wives, who were all connected to Yrniel? Would they all die as well? Questions like these worried Nux’s wives, if it was a situation where their decision could change anything, it was alright, but what were they supposed to do in a situation where they could not even understand what happened to them?
How were they going to survive?
“Don’t worry.”
Suddenly, Nux spoke up.
