1250 I hope you are prepared for the Deathmatch.
"P-People of the Yrniel!
Are you ready for today's battle!?"
The announcer shouted.
She was the same woman who was the host of the previous event where the ExceedoGenesis faced the Ashenhelm Clan.
Yes, the same women who had already sided with Sauren and Arcturus.
And as someone who had witnessed the horrors of offending the man named Nux Leander from the closest, the woman didn't wish to be here at all.
However, for this particular challenge, not many announcers were willing to come here and become the Host. Just like people, the announcers avoided today's event like a plague. The woman had no choice but to come since she was acquainted with Sauren and had hosted the previous event.
"Yeaahhh!!"
Obviously, the response today was much quieter that the usual. Not that the woman cared, she continued to do what she was called here for and was only thinking about getting away as soon as possible.
"Now first, let me call the Leader of the Ashenhelm Clan, Sauren Thorn!"
She announced, people clapped and Sauren made his entry.
"Now the challenger, the Leader of the ExceedoGenesis, Nux Leander!"
The moment his name was announced, the entire crowd turned silent.
After all, this was a man with many enemies.
Many instantly turned towards the VIP Box the Dragon Lord was on to see his reaction, however, seeing as to how the Dragon Lord was sitting on his chair with his eyes closed as if she was uninterested in the matter took many by surprise.
Has something happened to Nux Leander already? Why was the Dragon Lord acting like this?
Many started wondering.
Their reasonings however, soon crushed when an extremely handsome man with long hair walked into the Stage with a confident smile on his face.
His appearance was different than before, however, the women in the stadium could instantly recognize the man of their dreams and cheered as loudly as they could.
Even ignoring the Dragon Lord who they might antagonize if they cheered for his enemy.
Nux, with a charming smile on his face, waved towards a group of ladies shouting the loudest.
The ladies who noticed that were even more erratic, it wasn't just them, Nux's reaction ignited the spirits of almost all the women present their, everyone chanting his name as loudly as they could so that they could get a reaction out of him.
Nux of course, didn't spare any effort in waving for his fans, in this situation, he seemed absolutely unbothered about the man who was glaring at him for the past minute.
Unable to keep being ignored like this, Sauren finally shouted,
"Nux, you bastard!!
I hope you are prepared for what's coming for you!!"
Finally, Nux's rhythm was broken.
He then turned towards Sauren and once he 'measured him up', he looked at him with an unbothered look on his face and,
"Is that Ragnar here with you? I do not like to leave loose ends."
He questioned, the meaning he was implying couldn't be clearer.
Sauren's mouth twitched in annoyance, he pointed at Nux and,
"You don't have to worry about him! I assure you that you aren't getting out of here alive!!"
"Yeaa Yeaa, as if this is the first time I am hearing this coming from you." Nux started picking his ears, showing his utter disinterest and lack of caution.
Then, with a bored look on his face, Nux turned towards the judge and,
"Should we start the battle?"
The judge glanced at both the parties and seeing that they were ready to go, he nodded and,
"Start."
He announce the start of the battle and in an instant, Sauren disappeared from his place and rushed towards Nux.
As he appeared next to Nux, there was already a sword in his hand, he swung the sword at Nux, directly aiming at his neck, wanting to behead him in a single move, however, Nux simply stepped back, dodging the attack without as much as changing the bored look on his face.
He had already activated 1st Layer of the Zenith Flow.
Yes, his Body had gone through changes after getting Caesar's Blood, changes that had affected his Zenith Flow, however, after his little 'training' with Vyriana, Nux had already delt with the problem.
Not just that, with him having no need to use Essence to prevent his Bloodlines from clashing with each other anymore, most of his Essence was now free, giving him more freedom to take actions.
And since he had already incorporated this extra Essence into his Zenith Flow, all Layers of the technique had gotten a step stronger than before.
Against the current Nux, Sauren simply stood no chance and it could be clearly seen by how Nux was dodging all his attacks with complete ease, sometimes, even going as far as yawning in front of his opponent to push him on edge.
"Aren't you a little too slow for a Saint?
Are all Saints as weak as you?"
Nux questioned with a curious look on his face as he dodged Sauren's sword and saw it miss his neck by an inch.
"Aaaahhh!!" Sauren however, completely ignored his triggering words and attacked without thinking.
If his first attack missed, he would use the second, if second failed, he would use the third, then fourth, fifth, sixth and he would continue to do it till he finally gets this man's head.
It was a brute approach and honestly, the current Sauren looked like a madden bull who was rushing at the man in front of it not knowing that the man had complete control over it and only treated this as an entertaining sport.
"Hmm, I think the result of the battle is clear enough, why don't you tell me Ragnar? Might as well end him once I am done with you, no?"
Nux questioned with a curious look on his face.
"You bastard!! Don't test my limits!!"
Sauren shouted in extreme anger, the speed of his attacks increased, this time, he even started using destructive Magic Spells, targeting not just Nux, but himself as well just to make sure he hits his targets.
Not that it did anything.
Nux simply moved away before any Spell could harm him, it was as if he could see the future and was reacting accordingly, no matter what Sauren did, in front of him, it was absolutely useless.
The people who were watching this battle were horrified.
Especially the people who knew the significance of a Complete Semi Saint fighting against Complete Saint.
People like Ariana, the Elven Princess couldn't believe what was happening in front of her very eyes.
How could... this match be this one sided...?
She knew Nux was strong, much stronger than her but...
The man he is facing is someone an entire Stage above him!
How was he toying with him with such great ease!?
It made absolutely no sense!
Alaric was taken aback as well. He thought that since he was fighting Sauren, Nux would have a hard time in the battle... but for him to dominate his opponent like this...
Just... Just how was this possible...?
Of course, someone like Alaric wasn't a fool.
He knew how strong Nux was and he also knew how strong Sauren was.
This battle shouldn't have been this one sided no matter what and in truth, it wouldn't have been if Nux hadn't gone through what he did go through.
Sauren was definitely wasn't weak.
As one of the Strongest Saints in the Ancestral Order, his strength was much higher than normal Cultivators.
Honestly, if Nux wanted to compare, then this man was slightly stronger than the Divine Stage Monsters he had faced back in the Human Trials.
He was definitely faster and stronger than him, however, the Zenith Flow was simply a cheat-like ability.
No matter how fast Sauren was, he couldn't possibly attack a body that was moving on its own!
What's even worse?
Nux's new Bloodline had made him an even worse monster than he already was. His body was already 'adapting' to Sauren's speed and was now breaking past its limiting, slowly and steadily reaching Sauren's level of speed.
In the Trials, as more time passed and Nux's stamina started running out, he started making mistakes and failed to dodge a few of the Monsters' attacks.
In this case, however, with his body catching up to Sauren's physical abilities, even that opportunity was taken away.
As more and more time passed, it started getting harder and harder for Sauren to touch Nux.
Nux was getting stronger during the fight and there was nothing Sauren could do about it, the 'adaptability' was much more monstrous than everyone initially expected.
"Just give up, there is no point in resisting anyways.
You were never my target to begin with."
Nux chuckled as his eyes fell on Arcturus, who was watching the battle with an emotionless look on his face.
"You bastard!! You dare ignore me!?" Sauren shouted with his eyes bloodshot, but suddenly,
Slash
The sword that appeared in Nux's hand moved.
Clank
Thud
Sauren's arm, together with the sword it was holding, fell on the stage.
"I hope you are prepared for the Deathmatch."
