"This… this is just a waste?"
"T-Then… what about the real thing?"
The women couldn't believe what they were hearing.
"Did you really think Nux would let us stay here if the Mist was only this strong?"
Amaya questioned with a small smile on her face.
Hearing those words, a smile appeared on Felberta's face as well.
She was the one who knew Nux the most, after all.
"If he has allowed us to stay here then…"
"Then it means he is now confident in defeating Nawdren…"
Evane completely the sentence.
Hearing those words, the other women smiled,
"This would be an interesting show."
Ember commented.
"Hahaha~ Would we finally have the chance to 'Battle' in the middle of the battlefield?"
Edda reverted back to her usual pervert Edda as well.
"I agree! I want to try it as well!"
Skyla shouted out loud as well.
"I… I agree to it as well."
Lane spoke up as well.
"I can't believe it…" Ember sighed
"You people know we aren't using our connection, right?" She couldn't help but question.
She can't believe these women would say something like this out in the open.
They were just shameless.
"Also, I agree as well."
Of course, Ember wasn't going to miss out either.
"I don't even need to say it."
Thyra nodded as well.
"I agree, but I won't be sharing him with you bitches." Amaya's thoughts were clear.
"Of course, I don't wish to do that either." Allura nodded.
"I will be going first then." Felberta jumped in.
"Huuh? How are you deciding that?" Skyla questioned.
"Because I was the first one, after all. I am the senior-most wife here."
Felberta asserted her dominance.
"If we are going by that, then I am the one who loves him the most, the first turn should be mine." Amaya jumped in.
"I performed my duties as the queen properly, so obviously, I deserve the first," Evane spoke.
"I am the Shadow, I should be closest to the body…" Lane pointed out.
"Girls…"
Suddenly, the women turned silent as Nux spoke up.
"You know I haven't defeated him yet, right?" Nux questioned with a playful smile on his face.
"Then what are you waiting for? Do it quickly, you won't keep us waiting, will you?" Felberta smiled.
"Is that even possible?"
Nux questioned back.
The women smiled.
Suddenly, the Dark Mist that surrounded and blocked everyone's vision disappeared, revealing Nux, Astaria, the dead Alcimus, and his son and…
Nawdren.
Nawdren was looking at Nux with a solemn look on his face.
"I must say, you are full of surprises, boy.
How are you even standing?
I am sure I broke your ribs.
Also, what was the black Mist?"
Nawdren questioned, his eyes then fell on Nux's wives and a big smile appeared on his face,
"Are they your wives,
Boy, you sure are lucky.
How about you sha-"
"Don't.
The last man who said some stupid things about them didn't have a good end.
I am quite sensitive when it comes to my lovely wives, you see."
Nux smiled.
"Oh? That's good.
This would make things even more interesting."
Nawdren's smile widened.
Nux just shook his head and sighed.
"Whatever."
He then started walking towards Nawdren.
Nawdren frowned.
Seeing a mere King Stage Cultivator walking towards him with such a confident look on his face…
For some reason, it annoyed him.
Nawdren disappeared and appeared in front of Nux.
Just like how he did to Astaria, he slapped Nux's face...
Or so he tried to, however, suddenly, Black Mist, which was a lot denser than before came out of Nux's body and surrounded Nawdren's arm.
"!!!"
Nawdren's eyes widened in horror.
He shook his hand as aggressively as possible, trying to get rid of this Mist, however, nothing worked.
Nux facepalmed himself, he couldn't believe this man was this dumb. To think he still didn't realize how to deal with the Mist.
Soon, however, Nawdren realized what to do and quickly used his Mana and pushed the Mist out of his body.
He then jumped back and glanced at Nux with a horrified look on his face.
"Hmm? Your face looks quite pale.
You aren't scared of a 'mere' King Stage Cultivator, are you?"
Nux questioned with a small smile on his face.
Nawdren, however, completely ignored him and rushed toward Skyla, who was closest to him.
He had heard their conversation, and from how Nux was acting, he definitely values his wives a lot.
He could use it to his advantage.
"Ah, you made a mistake." Nux pointed out.
Just as Nawdren appeared near Skyla, Dark Mist appeared out of thin air and moved toward him.
"Aahh!! AAAgGGGGaggggGghhhHH!!"
Nawdren screamed in horror.
He used Mana to get rid of the Mist again, however, more and more Mist started appearing around him, surrounding his body.
Nawdren tried his best to move his body as aggressively as possible, doing anything he could to get rid of this Mist, however, the Mist seemed unending.
The scene was similar to countless ants attacking a big beast, devouring it together.
"No! NOO!!! STOP IT!!"
Nawdren shouted in horror.
This Mist…
It wasn't eating away his flesh…
Neither was it eating away his Mana….
It was… it was eating away his Life Force!
"You see, I recently learned that Life Energy can be turned into Mana.
It was a fascinating discovery, but then I thought,
Doesn't my Devouring Mist has the power to Devour Mana?
This got me thinking…
Since Mana and Life Force were connected…
What if…
I try to Devour Life Force instead of Devouring Mana?
What if…
I try to Devour Life itself?"
A big smile appeared on Nux's face.
"And guess what?
I succeeded."
Yes,
The Last Stage of Physique Mastery,
The Mastered Stage.
The Mastered Stage of the Devouring Mist allowed Nux to Devour Life itself.
