Chapter 1295 My son sure is something, isna??t he?
1295 My son sure is something, isn't he?
"The only thing it 'opens' up is the despair, death, and destruction.
We have tried it once before, we have no reason to try it again.
The less people know about the world beyond Yrniel, the better."
Faustina spoke and Nux couldn't help but frown in confusion,
"Why is that? Are the beings living beyond Yrniel that strong?"
"At the very least, they are strong to the point where even a top-level cultivator from Yrniel wouldn't stand a chance against them."
"Even a Divine Stage Cultivator...?"
"Divines would be able to take on forces below the Divine Level, however, there are rarely any powers that send their men without a few Divine Level Beings with them.
In their presence, a normal Divine wouldn't even be able to buy time for others to run, let alone resist or defeat the enemy.
"It would still be better than nothing, no? We have Complete Divine Stage Cultivators who could take care of the enemy Divine Stage Cultivators while our Incomplete ones can deal with the small fries, no?"
Nux suggested.
Faustina however, just chuckled and questioned back.
"How much difference do you think a mere 500 Incomplete Divine Stage Cultivators would make in the grand scheme of things?"
"Not only what you suggest would ruin Yrniel's balance, but the positive difference it would make would be so minute that it would only be seen as a waste.
The Ancestral Order does not lack forces, Nux.
We are very much capable of dealing with our enemies, we do not need Yrniel forces to help us. We are the protectors, not the other way around.
As for revealing the truth, the people of Yrniel are not prepared. They can't even take care of something as ridiculous as the Black Order, how do you expect them to face beings who are far beyond?"
Faustina questioned and in the end, Nux turned silent. Then, after thinking about it for a while, he questioned, "What if I promise not to reveal anything about the world beyond Yrniel? Can I come back then?"
"Why do you wish to come back so desperately?"
Faustina couldn't help but question. Then, she narrowed her eyes and, "Is it related to what you wanted to do before?"
"I am not exactly the type to give up, I just realized that the difficulty I will be facing is higher than what I expected, so I need to be better prepared. Once I am, I wish to finish what I came here for."
"Is that so..."
Faustina looked into Nux's eyes.
Nux nodded again.
"You can come back if you are not on a mission."
"Mission?"
"The way we work in the Ancestral Order is different from what you are used to. You will understand what I mean once you join us."
Faustina answered.
"I und-"
Nux was about to answer but suddenly, he paused as he sensed another presence. He turned around and saw Vyriana appearing in front of him.
As the Dragon's eyes fell on the Progenitor, she bowed lightly before questioning, "What are you doing here?"
"Can a mother not come to meet her child?" Faustina questioned back with a playful smile on her face.
"I don't recall you to be the type to do that without a reason, you only spend your time sleeping unless it is something important."
"Meeting my son is important."
Vyriana narrowed her eyes, then, she glanced at Nux and,
"Did you meet any other Progenitors one of these days? Lady Lilith for example?" The Dragon questioned and Nux couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, "How did you know?"
Vyriana nodded in understanding.
"So that's it..."
In an instant, she understood why Faustina was here.
"What happened?"
She questioned.
"Well, your beloved student made a bet with the Succubus Progenitor," Faustina answered and in an instant, the temperature inside the room changed as Vyriana stared at Nux and, "And why was I not informed of that...?"
Gulp
Nux just gulped as he glanced at his mother with a betrayed look on his face.
Faustina just shrugged as she looked forward to what was about to happen.
...
"What were you thinking...?"
Vyriana questioned as she narrowed her eyes.
"..."
Nux didn't answer.
Well, he wasn't exactly in a condition to answer either. His face was all battered up, his limbs were broken and he could stand, even his monstrous regeneration was finding it difficult to heal his wounds.
Right now, he was being tended to by Lane, who, as always, was hiding inside his shadow.
"You are quite ruthless."
Faustina commented as she glanced at her son's battered body.
"And you have no problem with the bet he made with her?"
Vyriana, however, completely ignored Faustina's words and continued with the main topic. For Faustina, maybe it was a big deal since it was the first time she had seen Nux in such a condition. For Vyriana, however, it was a common sight. Heck, this could even be considered a tamed version compared to the times when the two of them were sparring and creating Zenith Flow together. Vyriana knew that the shameless pervert was already used to the pain of such levels.
"There is nothing I can do now that the bet is already made, now is there? It is not like the woman forced him, he was the one who accepted the bet. Even if I am his mother, it doesn't mean I can make decisions for him."
Seeing that Vyriana was acting normally, Faustina shrugged and answered her as well.
"But you should already know what Lady Lilith wan-" Vyriana tried to retort, but suddenly, "You seem quite worried about that.
I can't believe you are interested in his romantic life."
Faustina chuckled and in an instant, Vyriana's expression changed.
"I am not interested in anything, I just do not want all the efforts I have put into him to be wasted. Lady Lilith isn't exactly known for being gentle."
She was quick with her answer.
"So that's what you are worried about..." Faustina muttered and noticing her tone, Vyriana narrowed her eyes.
If the person standing in front of her wasn't one of the strongest beings in the world and someone who could destroy her with a flick of her finger, she would have... "Hahaha~ Vyriana, you are so cute.
I can't believe I would say something like this in my entire life, My son sure is something, isn't he?"
Faustina laughed out loud and the more she laughed, the more Vyriana clenched her fists in frustration.
"Mother..."
Suddenly, Nux, called out in his battered form.
"Can you stop... she won't say anything to you... I would be the one who will be suffering..."
"It is not my fault that you dared to mess with our Vyriana, now is it? You reap what you sow, child."
Saying those words, Faustina stepped back, then, she glanced at her son one last time and, "I am looking forward to you joining the Ancestral Order.
Also, the one who took the Elven Trials is out, her results are good even if I do say so myself. That girl is stronger than she looks."
Saying those words, the Progenitor disappeared.
Nux on the other hand, formed a clone, the clone then took out an Artifact and gave it to his real body. It was the artifact given to him by Lyriana, the moment it was activated, his body started regenerating at a scary pace.
Within 5 minutes he stood up, then, as he stretched his body, he turned towards Vyriana and smiled wryly, "S-So... I guess Evane is out... I should go meet her."
He spoke as he quickly opened up the portal, however, right before he stopped in, "I didn't think you would hide things from me."
Vyriana spoke up.
Nux paused, then he turned towards Vyriana and,
"I wasn't hiding anything."
"..." Vyriana didn't say anything and seeing that, Nux decided to explain himself, "There are many things I wish to talk to you about. I was thinking about discussing everything with you once we are done with our bet.
After all, before that, the two of us are enemies, no?"
Vyriana glanced at Nux and narrowed her eyes.
Nux simply smiled,
"Anyways, my Queen must be waiting for me, I will chat with you later, Vyriana.
Hopefully, it will be the time when our lips will meet each other's."
Vyriana's aura burst out and as if he was already expecting that, Nux quickly jumped into the Portal and closed it as his loud laughter resounded.
...
On the other side, Lyriana, Ariana, and other few Elves were currently looking at an extremely beautiful woman with long blonde hair, fair skin, and long ears. The woman's green eyes were shining with endless purity and innocence, this, combined with elven beauty, made her so alluring that even the women inside the room couldn't help but feel attracted to her.
"You have done well."
Lyriana commented with a smile.
"Thank you."
Evane bowed her head with a bright smile on her face. A smile that instantly shot a love arrow into the hearts of everyone present in the room.
Of course, the one who was most affected was the man who had jumped from behind and grabbed his Queen.
"Lady Lyriana, I apologize for my rude actions, but I will be taking my wife away, there are some things that I wish to... 'talk' about with her."
And the next instant, Evane was taken away.
