1062 I can beat the Dragon Hero again if you want.
"Power of Laws?
What is that?"
Nux tilted his head in confusion.
"Heh."
A smile appeared on Vyriana's face as she glanced at Nux. "I actually believed you for a second you know?
You may not look like it, but you are much more cautious than I thought. To think you would act ignorant in front of me like this.
Well, I guess I can understand your perspective as well. It is actually a good thing that you are careful about it and I expect you to do the same in the future as well.
You used the Power of Laws in your Battle with Vedier but I do not want you to do something foolish like that again, is that clear? Even if you are losing a battle, do not use the Power of Laws."
Vyriana warned, but again,
"Lady Vyriana, I am not trying to fool you. I have no clue what power are you talking about."
Vuriana stared at Nux with a deadpan look on her face
"You really think you could fool me into thinking that it was not the Power of Laws like that? Nux, the fact that you are here talking with me peacefully and not have 1000s of absurdly strong cultivators coming after you should be enough proof that you can trust me.
And there is no point in hiding the Power of Laws from me, since I have comprehended my own Laws,
You cannot fool my eyes."
"I swear by my wives' names, I do not know what this Power of Laws is," Nux spoke as he looked into Vyriana's eyes with a solemn look on his face, and this time, Vyriana's expression changed.
She may not know Nux much, however, there was one thing she didn't doubt,
This man loved his wives like no other being, he was just as crazy about his women as those women were crazy about him, actually, sometimes, Vyriana even felt that he was crazier than those women. Nux could do anything, however, he would never lie with his wives' names on it.
"If you do not know what Laws are, then how did you use that power when you fought against Vedier? I even touched those Spikes you formed to make sure, there was definitely power of Laws fused in them, there is no way those things would have pierced through Vedier's scales if there wasn't." Vyriana questioned with a strange look on her face
"The Spikes?"
"Yes, whatever you used to raise the strength of those Spikes in the middle of the Battle, wasn't that the Law you Practice? And from the looks of it, it is quite similar to the Law I practice, the only difference being that the Law I practice aligns towards myself, while yours aligns towards others, isn't that right?
"Lady Vyriana, as I said, I do not even know what Laws are..." Of course, Nux had no clue what this woman was talking about.
"..."
Vyriana turned silent.
This man...
Just what sort of monster was he?
First, he was able to use the Power of Laws when he was barely a Semi Sai- no, at that time, he was a Great Sage. Something that shouldn't be possible unless you were a Saint.
Now, he was telling her that he used that power without even knowing what it was?
What?
How does that make any sense?
She spent centuries to even understand what this power was let alone using them yet a mere 70-year-old boy was using it without even realizing it? Just what kind of secret has this bastard hidden in his body?
Vyriana thought inwardly as she observed Nux who was staring at her with a frown on his face.
Of course, Nux had his own theories in his mind. The Power of Laws, he didn't know what it was, however, he did realize it had something to do with [Dark Amethyst]. Therefore, without thinking any further, Vaan summoned some of the Dark Amethyst, then, he turned towards Vyriana and questioned,
"Is this the Power of Law you are talking about?"
Vyriana, on the other hand, was surprised yet another time. Her hand moved as she touched the spike Nux had summoned and just as she expected, the Power of Laws had disappeared.
"The increase in your ability's strength wasn't temporary, you did it permanently..."
Vyriana commented as she stared at Nux.
The Law Nux was practicing... it was even more terrifying than she thought...
Nux's Law allowed him to increase the strength of his ability permanently!
What kind of absurd Law was that!?
This level of strength... Vyriana doubted if even the Divine Stage Cultivators would be capable of holding such power
in their bodies...
How was Nux doing it?
Was it that secret he was hiding?
Vyriana continued to stare at Nux.
"Lady Vyriana?" Nux frowned in confusion, unable to understand why Vyriana was acting like this.
"How did you increase the strength of your ability if you do not know about Laws?" Vyriana questioned as she narrowed her eyes.
"I..."
Nux didn't know what to say.
He couldn't reveal the existence of the System and with how serious Vyriana's expression was, he knew he couldn't just get out of this conversation either.
Vyriana's eyes had made it clear, she wanted answers, honest answers.
"I was born with such power."
Nux decided to use the half-truth approach.
"What?" Vyriana narrowed her eyes.
"I realized I had this ability ever since I started cultivating. I was capable of increasing the strength of some of my abilities permanently, of course, I cannot do it infinitely,there are certain restrictions to that, but yes, I do have a way to strengthen my abilities." Nux explained.
"Does increasing the strength of your ability harm you in any way?" Vyriana questioned.
"It does not." Nux shook his head.
"I guess we can say that the thing inside your body isn't trying to hurt you, for now," Vyriana commented.
"Thing inside my body."
"You should already know you are different from others, Nux.
You should know there is something inside your body that makes you different. Actually, you should have done your best trying to find out what this thing is and how it works.
Or maybe, you already know what it is and just aren't willing to reveal your secrets to me."
Vyriana spoke as she looked into Nux's eyes.
"I do know I am different from others, however, this 'thing' you speak of, I do not know what it was. I used to think it was just my blood.
I am an Orphan you see, the origin of my parents is unknown."
"It has nothing to do with your Blood, actually, the level of your blood can be considered average, I am talking about your Human Blood of course
However, the thing inside your body completely nullifies that mediocre Blood, pushing you to the limits that even the beings with Primordial Blood would find hard to reach.
I wonder what that thing is." Vyriana commented, her eyes shining with intense curiosity.
Nux's heart skipped a beat. No, it was not because he was taken aback by how beautiful Vyriana was, Nux was currently praying for his life. Vyriana's eyes, he didn't like the look in those eyes, he felt like a steamy lamb in front of a hungry lion, waiting to be devoured without being able to resist at all.
"Heh." Seeing him getting intimidated, Vyriana realized that the Aura she was unconsciously releasing was overpowering Nux. She held herself back, then, with a smile on her face, she glanced at Nux and,
"Don't worry, I am not planning to cut you open. Yet."
Nux smiled weakly.
"Yet huh..."
He commented, cold sweat on his forehead.
Vyriana just sighed, she realized how right her student was, whatever expectations she had of Nux, this man was going to surpass them all and would continue to surprise her again and again.
'It is almost frustrating...'
Vyriana narrowed her eyes as she glared at Nux.
However, someone in her heart, she was actually looking forward to this.
She was looking forward to how strong Nux would be once he stepped into the Divine Stage.
Would he... be able to defeat her?
Vyriana thought of a possibility.
As much as Vyriana doubted it, somewhere in her heart, Vyriana knew this would be an interesting face-off.
Thinking about all that, a big smile appeared on Vyriana's face. Then, she glanced at Nux and,
"Anyways, that power of yours to increase the strength of your abilities, do not use it in front of other cultivators, is that clear?"
"I will keep that in mind." Nux nodded, making a note of not upgrading his abilities mid-battle from now on.
"Good." Vyriana nodded, then, she turned around.
"Lady Vyriana." Noticing that she was about to return, Nux called out.
"What? You want me to take you back as well?"
"No, that was not it.
I was hoping you could tell me more about Laws."
Nux spoke up.
He couldn't leave this chance.
These Laws were something that made Vyriana act like this, this wasn't something he should ignore.
"You want me to teach you right now? It would take some time, you know?" Vyriana questioned with a playful smile on her face.
"Ahh, then just let it be.
I will bother you later."
Nux quickly backed away.
He had much more important things to do right now.
"I won't be available later," Vyriana commented.
"Heh." Nux chuckled.
"Please do not tease me like this, Lady Vyriana.
I can beat the Dragon Hero again if you want."
Vyriana chuckled out loud.
Nux smiled, then, a Portal formed behind him, Nux then looked into Vyriana's eyes and,
"I will be taking my leave now, Lady Vyriana.
Please take care of yourself."
