Chapter 1255 You can see mea?|
1255 You can see me...
"Got you."
Saying those words,
He tore apart Nux's arm.
Rip
A strange sound of a piece of paper being ripped off was heard, normally, this sound should have been accompanied by a shrill scream. After all, unlike cutting the arm off using a sharp object, tearing it off was a completely different situation.
The tissues, the joints, the nerves, the blood vessels, and the muscles, everything was forcibly ripped off, it was an agonizing experience, however, Nux simply jumped away, with his other hand on his shoulder, as if trying to stop the blood. He glanced at Arcturus with a grim look on his face. His wives had worried looks on their faces as well.
Arcturus, on the other hand, looked at his opponent and smiled,
"You held back your screams, that's quite praiseworthy."
Then, however, his smile turned evil and,
"It will be much more fun to play around with you than I initially expected. I hope you don't disappoint me, Nux Leander. My son must be waiting for you in hell. I need to make sure that your end is much more painful than his for his soul to rest in peace."
"If that's the case, then I guess your son's soul won't be resting in peace."
Nux chuckled. Then, a smile similar to Arcturus's appeared on his face, and, "After all, nothing can be more agonizing than what he went through.
Did you not see the expression on his head I brought to you?
He wasn't surprised by his death, was he? If you look carefully, you will realize that he was relieved. Your son begged me to kill him, Arcturus. Quite a Dragon he was."
Nux laughed and suddenly, Arcturus disappeared and appeared right next to him, his hand directly holding Nux's other hand and he placed his leg on his chest, Rip
The Dragon Lord applied more force, ripping Nux's second arm and Nux's body flew away.
Arcturus threw Nux's arm away and with a cruel look on his face, he replied, "Don't worry, since you do not seem to want an easy death, I will fulfill your wish."
Nux, on the other hand, stood up, by now, half of his first arm had regenerated, the rest was in the process of regenerating. He glanced at his opponent with a grim look on his face, Nux finally realized something.
The difference between Arcturus, even without his Law of Self, and the Monsters he faced back in the Human Trials, was too ridiculous. Arcturus was in a completely different league.
'He isn't called the strongest incomplete Divine Stage Cultivator without a reason.'
He realized.
Arcturus wasn't an opponent he could defeat.
Well, at least not before he got Caesar's Blood, and even now, he wasn't 100% sure he could win. After all, even with the Zenith Flow, he still wasn't able to dodge his attacks. Arcturus's was simply too fast. Even his body wasn't able to react to his movement speed. Not to mention his absurd Dragon Strength, it made this battle too unfair.
Nux momentarily glanced at Vyriana and noticed that she was looking at him as well.
In an instant, words were exchanged.
Vyriana smiled, 'You are in trouble, aren't you?'
'Shouldn't you be thinking about helping me?'
'How am I supposed to help you? He won't let anyone interfere with the duel, even me.' Vyriana replied as she pointed at Caesar, the overseer of the duel. Then, with a shrug, she yawned, 'Anyways, if you can't defeat someone like him, you might as well die.'
'...'
Nux turned silent.
He couldn't believe that he was abandoned like this.
While Nux was recovering, Arcturus appeared in front of him again, this time, his target was Nux's legs, it seemed like he didn't care about the regenerated arm, it was as if he wanted Nux to completely regenerate his arm before he was done and finally tear apart the entire thing away.
He wanted the torturous cycle to continue, however, this time, before his hand could grab Nux's leg, his leg turned into white Mist, the Mist then flew away and Nux's body was reformed.
Arcturus narrowed his eyes, "How are you using a Vampire's ability?"
"Does it matter?" Nux questioned with a playful smile on his face, his arm was successfully regenerated.
"It doesn't." Arcturus's smile widened as he appeared next to Nux again. This time, the Mana around him burst out, making sure that Nux doesn't use the Misting ability.
However, the Dragon Lord soon noticed 3 more Nux appearing beside Nux, an ability he recognized very quickly, "Those clones will not help you, you bastard."
Arcturus's eyes were bloodshot, Nux had used his clones to play around with him countless times before, it was obvious his anger would shoot up after seeing him use this ability again.
BOOM BOOM BOOM
It didn't take long for Arcturus to destroy the heads of the three clones in front of him, however, by then, Nux had already formed 10 more Clones.
And as if that wasn't enough, those clones turned into Vedier and, "Father, why didn't you save me?"
"Father, that bastard killed me and you couldn't do anything."
"Father, how can you abandon me?"
"Father, you have to avenge me."
"But can you avenge me? You have been fighting him for so long and you still didn't get his head."
"Could it be... that even Father is incapable of fighting him?"
"Father, are you going to turn your back on me?"
"Father..."
Arcturus was soon surrounded by his 'sons'.
"He is quite ruthless."
Faustina, who was observing the battle commented with a strange look on her face. Vyriana, who was sitting next to her simply shrugged, "As if something like that would work. He obviously knows that his son is dead and it is Nux who is acting like this."
"Won't that make it even more potent?"
Faustina chuckled.
"That mischievous child is clearly making fun of him, that too, in front of such a big crowd, do you think someone like him could take it?"
BOOM BOOM
"Aaahh!! Father! Why are you killing me!?"
"Yes! Why kill your son!? Shouldn't you avenge me instead!?"
"Why are you turning against me!? Have I done something wrong!?"
"Pffft!"
Faustina couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw Nux act like this when his clones were destroyed by Arcturus.
"AAaggGGghHHhHH!!!
NUX YOU BASTARD!!"
Arcturus screamed in endless fury.
"He is quite impish."
Faustina chuckled.
"He is all over his enemy's head despite being weaker than him. It is quite scary if I think about it."
Hearing Faustina praise her Nux, Vyriana couldn't help but smile as well, but suddenly, "Though I do wonder how is that guy using clones. It should be the ability belonging to an Incubus.
He also used a Vampire's ability before, it is quite interesting, Don't you think?"
Faustina questioned as she turned towards Vyriana.
Vyriana froze.
The fact that Nux could use other races' abilities was supposed to be a secret, the Progenitors, out of everyone, shouldn't know about this yet.
Now, however, with Faustina and Caesar seeing it with their own eyes... Faustina noticed the look on Vyriana's face and chuckled out loud, "I didn't think you would keep secrets from us. Do your Masters know about it?" She questioned.
Vyriana looked into Faustina's eyes and shook her head,
"They do not."
"Why would you go so far for him? I doubt you have known him for a long time."
"I have known that man for the majority of his life," Vyriana replied with a confident look on her face.
After all, she had spent around 200 years together with him.
Faustina stared at Vyriana for a while, then, she questioned,
"It is quite strange, isn't it?
I never thought someone like you would do all this for someone you barely know.
It is as if you have formed a strange connection with him."
"There is no such connection you are talking about!"
Vyriana was quick to reject.
"I simply do not wish for the Order to antagonize him. Making him an enemy is a foolish move."
"You think the Order would lose?"
Faustina was surprised.
Vyriana shook her head,
"I do not."
Then, with a grim look on her face, she spoke,
"But I do think that you would pay a huge price."
"You...?"
Faustina didn't fail to notice how Vyriana singled them out instead of involving her with them.
With a curious look on her face, she glanced at the Dragon woman in front of her and, "Would you not be facing him together with us?"
"...I would not."
Vyriana replied.
"..."
Faustina turned silent.
She didn't expect a direct answer.
This woman was already choosing sides.
With a curious look on her face, she glanced at Nux who was playing around with the Dragon Lord and, "We really shouldn't make an enemy out of him, eh."
Then, Faustina turned around and looking into a blank space, she smiled playfully and, "It's not nice to eavesdrop on others' conversation, you know? Even if that conversation is about you."
"You can see me..."
Nux was surprised.
"I am your ancestor, child,
There is no way you can hide from me."
