1040 Die.
"That fucking hurts, you bastard.
Don't blame me for what happens next, you started it."
Nux spoke as he disappeared.
Vedier's expression changed, he finally realized that he did one thing that he shouldn't have done, now, however, it was already too late.
"!!!"
Vedier eyes widened as he quickly moved away.
*Slash*
A Purple Black Spike passed through his body, if it wasn't for the Mana reacting and protecting him at the last second, there would have been a deep cut on Vedier's shoulder.
Vedier glanced at Spike in front of him.
Just as he thought, he couldn't sense it. Even now, Vedier was absolutely sure that there were many similar Spikes around him, however, he couldn't sense any of them.
He was now in the same state as the Six Heroes.
Trapped.
Neither could he sense his opponent's location nor could he sense countless spikes that were ready to pierce through his body. There was nowhere he could run to, neither did he have a way to avoid these spikes.
A completely helpless state where even the bravest, calmest, or even the smartest of the beings couldn't do anything.
A State Vedier wanted to avoid getting into, something he clearly failed at, in the end, a wry smile appeared on his face.
"Alright, Devil. Guess this battle will be ending in a draw, but rejoice, you, as a Great Sage, defeated the Six Heroes and drew against me, a Semi Saint. You can brag about this throu-"
Before Vedier could even complete, a Spike rushed towards him, aiming at his chest.
*Boom*
However, before it could pierce through Vedier's skin, a Mana shield formed in front of him, completely blocking the Spike.
Vedier paused.
Then, another Spike shot toward him, this time, it was stronger than before, however,
*Boom*
Again, in front of the Mana Shield, it was useless.
*Boom* *Boom* *Boom*
Nux continued to attack Vedier, trying to break his shield, however, the Mana shield was just too strong. No matter how much *Essence* Nux used to increase Dark Amethyst's strength, it didn't work.
"...stop trying, Devil. The difference between Phase Two Cultivator and Phase Three Cultivator is too high, you might not believe what I am saying right now, however, once you actually break through Phase Two and become a Phase Three, you will realize it.
You pushing me to this extent is already a great achievement on your part. Honestly, it is I who should be embarrassed today."
Vedier spoke, wanting to return and train as much as he could to face the Devil again and next time, he wanted to defeat him.
"Haaah..." Suddenly, Vedier heard a sigh.
A Portal then formed in front of him and the Devil stepped out it.
Vedier smiled, he started walking towards him, wanting to shake his hand after the final battle, but then,
"The fuck do you mean by 'difference in strength?"
Didn't you hear what I said before?
The winner of his battle was already decided."
Nux spoke.
His eyes locked on Vedier.
He had to admit, the Dragon Hero was stronger than he thought, after fighting him, Nux was looking forward to breaking through and becoming a Phase Three Cultivator.
Right now, however, he had to deal with this man standing in front of him.
Dragon Hero was indeed strong, to think he couldn't even break through his Mana Shield even after abusing *Essence* to this level, not to mention there was also Vedier's absurdly strong body he had to worry about.
Nux was sure, no normal Great Sage could defeat a Semi Saint, the two beings were on an entirely different level.
Of course, this only applied to normal cultivators.
Nux was laced with a heaven-defying cheat.
"Tsk, I wanted to use it on [Core].' Snorting inwardly, Nux opened his System Screen.
[Current System Points: 8,497,675,355]
Looking at the total number of system points in front of him, Nux couldn't help but sigh.
This was his hard work for the past 50 years!
And even this was not enough for him to upgrade his [Core].
[Core] was a 12 Star Ability, to upgrade it, Nux needed 11,000,000,000 System Points. He wanted to save up till he had enough points, however, even after 50 years of hard work, he was still more than 1,500,000,000 points short.
These points were enough for him to buy another 12 Star Ability!
'Fuck it.'
Nux just shook his head. The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he felt. In the end, he just decided to follow through with what he planned. Even if it pushed his future plans a bit far, it was still something Nux needed to do.
[Dark Amethyst.]
[8-Star Ability.] (Yes, it was 7 Star at the start, Nux had upgraded it once before)
[Description: Allows the Host to summon and control the Metal name Dark Amethyst freely. Can be used for Defense, Attack, and Crowd Control.]
[Cost: Depends on the quantity of the Dark Amethyst summoned.]
[Note: Dark Amethyst is one of the strongest Materials in the World.]
[Note: Host can only summon Dark Amethyst through Earth, and not through any other medium like Air and Water.]
[Note: The farther the Host summons the Dark Amethyst, the more MP will it cost.]
[Upgrade]
Another screen appeared in front of Nux's eyes. With a heavy heart, he pressed the [Upgrade] button.
[Upgrade to 9 Star: 1,100,000 System Points]
...
...
[Upgrade to 12 Star: 1,100,000,000 System Points]
[Upgrade to 13 Star: 11,000,000,000 System Points] More options appeared in front of his eyes.
Nux then selected the option he wanted to select.
[Are you sure you want to spend 1,100,000,000 System Points on the upgrade?]
[Y/N]
And as if the System was mocking Nux, another screen asking this question appeared in front of him.
Nux's face twitched.
He glanced at Vedier as he spent his life earnings, and then,
"I'll make you pay for this, you fucker"
"Huh?"
Vedier, of course, had no clue what Nux was talking about,
But before he could even understand,
*Stab*
A Purple Black Spike pierced through Vedier's defenses as if they were made of the thinnest of the papers,
Vedier widened his eyes in surprise and then,
"Khooaacckkk!"
He coughed out blood.
"Die."
