Chapter 1315 Be within your limits
1315 Be within your limits
"As to answer your second question..." Astaria's eyes shone with a strange light, and she spoke, "Yes, I did see that girl's potential before; this is why I took her in as my disciple." The Dragon nodded.
From the very start, no one was clear as to why Vyriana took Astaria as her disciple the moment she saw her. They knew Astaria was strong, but so were the other women beside her. Combined with Nux's presence beside Astaria, the girl was outshined to another level. However, even in that condition, for a bigshot like Vyriana to appear and take Astaria as a student, Amaya often found it confusing. Sometimes, she even suspected that all of this was just a ruse and a way for Vyriana to get close to Nux. Today, however, her opinion changed.
"A potential to form a Law of Absolute..." Amaya muttered to herself. "Does that mean none of us have the potential to form a Law of Absolute?" Suddenly, Thyra questioned as well. Since the woman didn't take them in as disciples, this could only mean that they were lacking, no?
Vyriana glanced at Thyra and didn't try to hide it either, "The Law of Absolutes is the strongest set of Laws there is. Not anyone can comprehend them. Even in the entire universe, the number of beings who comprehended such Laws is limited in number, and all of them are absurdly strong. This is why Astaria was different from the rest; she is a rare gem that would only shine brighter and brighter in the future. Of course, I am not saying the rest of you aren't the same or will not be able to comprehend a Law of Absolute. It is just that saying all of you will be able to do it sounds... absurd..."
Thyra narrowed her eyes, and the rest of the women seemed to be pondering something as well. "How strong are the Law of Absolutes?" Suddenly, Nux questioned with a curious look on his face. He wanted a rough idea of just how 'Absolute' the Law of Absolutes actually were.
Vyriana turned towards him and said, "I do not know how to explain it in words. Just know that if you comprehend a mediocre Law, or even an above-average Law, then even though you are stronger than that girl now, she will soon surpass you the moment her understanding of her Law increases. The more she learns about her Sword, the more one-directional her abilities will get, and the more monstrous she will become. To the point where she could even rival me."
Vyriana's words surprised Nux's wives, as she pretty much declared that Astaria had the potential to rival her, the strongest Divine Stage Cultivator in the world. "I understand..." Nux nodded as he started thinking as well.
Then suddenly, another question popped up in his head, "The beings you mentioned before, the ones who comprehended the Law of Absolute, how strong are they compared to the Progenitors?"
Vyriana turned silent as she heard that question. Even she hadn't seen a Progenitor go out before, neither had she seen a being who was at a level strong enough to trouble a Progenitor. Therefore, she turned towards the one who should know about these matters.
Everyone turned towards the direction the Dragon was looking at, curious to know the answer to the question Nux asked. The Vampire, who was now the center of attention, chuckled and then said, "Even Progenitors would have a hard time defeating those beings. The actual strong ones could even take a couple of Progenitors at the same time."
Aeliana revealed, and it wasn't just Nux and his wives; even Vyriana seemed surprised by the news. "Even... Master?" She questioned with a dumbfounded look on her face.
"Mhm, even your Master has lost battles before. She isn't invincible." The Vampire nodded, and Vyriana just blinked in surprise. 'That monster... has lost...?' The Dragon seemed to have entered a world of her own when she heard the news.
Nux, on the other hand, had another question in his mind, "What are the levels above Divine?"
Aeliana, however, just chuckled, "You have no need to know about them for now."
"Why not tell me anyway?"
"Because there is no reason for it."
"I wouldn't lose an-"
Nux wanted to argue, but suddenly, he felt like losing control over his body and turned silent on his own. Aeliana then looked at him with a gentle smile on her face and said, "I have excused you once before, Boy. I will not do it again. I am not Vyriana. Do not treat me in a similar manner just because I tend to be gentle. I can be not gentle; I just prefer not to show that side to people, especially ones who are close to my friend. Be within your limits."
In an instant, the temperature around the room changed. Nux narrowed his eyes, observing Aeliana without saying. Aeliana didn't look away either; this time, however, her gentle smile had long disappeared. The two continued to stare at each other until finally, Nux turned away and walked toward Vyriana.
"Is it that shocking that your Master lost? Didn't you say the beings who have comprehended the Law of Absolute are absurdly strong? Why is this so surprising then? Also, haven't you comprehended a Law of Absolute as well? You will soon surpass your Master as well, trust me," Nux tried to comfort the Dragon.
Aeliana, who understood what Nux was trying to ignore, didn't say anything either. She didn't want to pursue the matter unnecessarily either.
"You are right..." Vyriana, on the other hand, took a deep breath as well. She tried to stop thinking about it; the image of her Master lying on the ground, defeated, just couldn't leave her mind. And Nux, who noticed that, came up with another idea to get Vyriana's mind out of this.
"Vyriana," He called out with a big smile on his face. Not liking the tone he was using, the Dragon glanced at him with a frown. Nux, however, continued, "How about we go somewhere private?"
"Why?" Vyriana's frown deepened, then suddenly, Nux's smile widened as well.
"You didn't forget our bet, did you?" He questioned.
