1086 Anything?
"So that's it..."
Nux nodded as his eyes shone in realization.
He finally found answers to some of his questions.
Seeing that look in his eyes, Vyriana narrowed her eyes.
"What is it?" She questioned.
"Hmm?" Nux tilted his head in confusion.
"Do you have a way to reach the Assimilation Stage without being a Saint? Just say it if you do, it is not like I do not know how much of a monster you already are."
"..."
Nux turned silent.
"What? Are you still doubting me?" Vyriana narrowed her eyes.
"I am not, Lady Vyriana. I just feel strange about how you treat me like a monster. You just said my body wouldn't be able to reach the Assimilation Stage before I become a Saint, and then you asked me if I had a way around it. Of course, I don't.
How would I know something even Lady Vyriana doesn't? I am just a normal orphan who somehow became a cultivator."
Nux spoke and this time, not only Vyriana, but even his wives stared at him with deadpan looks on their faces.
"Is this why you said he sometimes annoys you to the point you wish to beat him to death?" Vyriana turned towards Astaria and questioned.
"Master... I have never said those words..."
"But I am sure you must feel that way, don't you?"
This time, Astaria's answer wasn't instantaneous anymore.
Nux was indeed annoying.
As he saw him staring at him, Nux's expression changed,
"Oi Oi, why are you looking at me like that? Are you thinking of betraying me?
How am I annoying?"
"..."
"..."
All the women turned silent.
"Anyways, why did you look like you were about to say something ridiculous and surprise us again?" Astaria questioned. If it was anyone who was curious about the extent of Nux's strength the most, it was her.
Ever since Nux had returned after becoming Semi Saint, with his System updated, and his Bloodline now stabilized, he had been oddly silent about his strength. It was only them spending blissful time together with each other and while Astaria enjoyed it to the point where her mind still thinks about it all the time,
She was dying to know how strong Nux had actually gotten.
But this time,
"What? I am telling the truth. There is nothing to be surprised about here, in the Waranal Continent, I was fighting Star Beasts using my Spells, the more I used those spells, the more comfortable I got and my Master Level shot up to Perfection Level.
I thought it was the highest stage achievable because no matter how much I tried, I couldn't think of any way to increase the strength of my spells. They were capped at the maximum level.
That was when Lady Vyriana revealed that there was a Mastery level above Perfection and I was confused.
Though everything is clear now, I couldn't reach that level because it is related to Laws, and before I become a Saint, my body isn't capable of reaching that level."
Nux explained and again, Astaria and his other wives were taken aback.
This time, however, the reason behind their surprise was different,
"That is... surprisingly normal of you..."
Thyra commented with a strange look on her face.
"I agree..." Ember nodded.
The other wives had the same thoughts.
"What were you guys even expecting?"
"You being a ridiculous monster," Felberta commented.
"..." Nux just turned silent.
Soon, however, the wives' expectations were met as Vyriana narrowed her eyes and questioned.
"Did you say you mastered your spell to Perfection Stage when you were in Waranal?"
"Hmm? That is correct."Nux nodded.
Then, he lifted his hand and within 1 second, the entire ground was filled with countless red-colored Magic Circles that were shining brightly, ready to be activated the moment Nux wanted them to. Those circles weren't normal circles either, they represented one of the strongest 10 Star Spells,
Explosion.
Explosion polished to the point it reached Perfection State.
Just this spell alone was enough to wipe out Armies of Semi Saint Cultivators and Nux casted thousands of these spells in under 1 second.
Seeing the sight in front of her, Vyriana's expression changed.
"How did you do that?" She questioned.
"Huh?"
"There is a reason why all the cultivators are not sent to Waranal to cultivate and return stronger than ever 25 times faster than they normally would."
Vyriana spoke up.
"Waranal is the complete opposite of Veiled Eden, Mastering Techniques there was much harder than in Yrniel, actually, it is even worse, while the Veiled Eden makes you 4 times more efficient than normal, Waranal makes Mastering techniques 500 times more difficult, it is literally impossible to raise your Mastery levels while staying in Waranal, let alone reach Perfection Stage.
The same is true for the Battle Dimension, or the Dimension I took Astaria to. Despite giving a cultivator the freedom to cultivate normally, these Dimensions are not popular cultivation spots. The reason behind them is simple, the cultivators who cultivate here, while they may get stronger a lot quicker than normal, their foundation becomes a mess.
They become the weakest of their lot, beings who are only at the level of dispensable soldiers. A Fate that no cultivator wants. Neither is this the style that goes along with Order's ways, we do not cultivate weak.
I gave you all access to these Dimensions because of time constraints, and the fact that your goals had nothing to do with working on your mastery levels, however, even then, I wouldn't have allowed you to stay there for more than 500 years simply because how flawed those places are, but..."
Vyriana stared at Nux and couldn't understand what in the hell was wrong with this boy.
She knew the world was vast, the things she knew were limited, and that in her long life, she would often meet beings who are called an anomaly, beings who went against the common belief and completely crushed it.
Heck, who was she kidding? She herself was an anomaly as well.
But,
What in the hell is this boy!?
What kind of anomaly was he!?
Why is it that every time he reveals something, he breaks some of her worldview, making her reconsider her decision of not reporting him to the Order time and time again?
"Wait... if Waranal Dimension reduces the training efficiency by 500, and Veiled Eden increases it by 4, then does that mean Nux's current efficiency in Mastering Techniques is 2000 times compared to when he was in Waranal?
Doesn't that mean he would get stronger at an even faster rate here?"
Suddenly, Skyla spoke up with an excited look on her face. Hearing her words, an excited smile appeared on Nux's face as well, 2000 times more efficiency, just how quickly would be able to master his techniques in this place?
Who knows? He might even push all his spells to the Perfection Stage.
"That is most probably not true."
Then suddenly,
Vyriana shook her head.
"Huh?" Skyla frowned in confusion.
Quickly turning towards Amaya, wanting to know where she went wrong. She may not be the brightest of all the bulbs, but she doubted she was wrong here. She just wanted to know her smartest sister's stance.
And this time, Amaya was on Vyriana's side.
"Nux mastering a Spell to Perfection Stage when his efficiency was lowered by 500 times doesn't make sense."
Amaya commented.
Vyriana glanced at the black-haired woman and nodded,
"That is correct.
In the end, the speed at which one Masters his or her techniques depends on one's innate talent. A drop or raise in efficiency directly affects that talent. So a 500 times drop in efficiency would mean Nux's innate talent was so high that even after dropping it by 500 times, he was still able to push his Spell to the Perfection Stage in just 50 years, which is not possible because if his innate talent was this absurdly high,
All the Spells he learns should be Mastered to the Perfection Stage within a month of learning that Spell. Which clearly is not the case."
Vyriana spoke as she glanced at Nux.
He may be a monster capable of becoming a Semi Saint Cultivator at the tender age of 70, however, Cultivation Talent, and Comprehension Talent were two different things.
And in Vyriana's eyes, Nux's Comprehension talent could at best, only be considered above average.
Then how...
How did he manage to Master his Spell to Perfection State in the Waranal Dimension?
It makes no sense.
"Heh, it is almost as if the Waranal's drop in efficiency doesn't affect Nux at all."
Amaya laughed and Vyriana, who heard her words widened her eyes.
"Huh? What?" Nux frowned.
Vyriana stared at Nux, then, she threw a Book towards him. Nux caught the book, reading the contents, he realized it was a fire-based 10 Star Spell,
"Try to Master this Spell to Perfection Stage within 2 months.
If you do that,
I will fulfill any one wish you have."
Vyriana ordered and the moment Nux heard his words, a smile crept up on his face, and,
"Anything?"
