*Loud Siren Sound*
"Where is he!?"
"Have you checked that tent!?"
"No, I have not!"
"Hey! There are 12 more unconscious here!"
"Leave them, search other tents!"
"9 unconscious here!"
"7 here!"
"11 here!"
"If every tent is filled with unconscious bodies, then where the hell is that man!?"
"Hey! Don't keep standing there, look for him!"
Chaos was spread around the area, the whole Shadow Unit's Camp was a big mess with every member running around, panicked, confused, and clueless about what to do.
"Lord Keeve! He is not here as well, what should we do?"
"…"
Keeve, as one of the leaders of the Shadow Unit, only stood there with a shocked look on his face.
'W-What is happening?'
He couldn't understand.
He was only sitting around, knowing that his Unit will be attacked soon by that man. He was already informed about this test by Lady Astaria.
He was told to hold back and to let that man take out a few lower-level members before he went into action.
This was meant to be a test for that man, a test he shouldn't be able to pass.
But…
But what in the hell is happening!?
W-What is that monster!?
He has already taken out more than half of their members, and it was not just low-level members, 3 King Stage Cultivators were among them as well!
And it hasn't even been 10 minutes since this test started!
And this all wasn't even the worst part,
The worse part was that they still had no idea where that man was!
He continued to eliminate more and more members of his Shadow Unit, but nobody could see how and where he did it.
The members try to find him in a tent, but the only thing they find is the unconscious bodies of their teammates.
A single man was playing around with his entire Unit.
Keeve couldn't believe it.
"Lord Keeve!"
Another member shouted for help.
'Don't blame me for playing dirty as well.'
Keeve thought inwardly then, he took a deep breath and shouted,
"Everyone, Formation O!"
As soon as they heard these words, all the members of the Shadow Unit stopped whatever they were doing and quickly gather around Keeve.
Within 10 seconds, all the members regrouped.
The logic was simple.
There was no point in going against that strange monster, with him sneaking around like that, they would only end up losing their teammates.
Therefore, regrouping was the only option left.
Rather than hunting for Nux in different groups, they would form a big group, waiting for Nux to appear in front of them instead.
It was not a test for them, it was a test for Nux.
They were in no rush to complete it, they could stand there for days, Nux, however, did not have that option. He had to appear in front of them eventually.
A cowardly move, yes.
However, the Shadow Unit losing a battle against a single man was even more shameful.
Keeve cannot allow this to happen.
A solemn look appeared on Keeve's face, of course, he wasn't the least bit happy about his plan, even if he won, his heart would never accept this victory, however, in the end, a fight was a fight.
Keeve prepared himself and waited for Nux to appear in front of him.
"…"
An eerie silence fell over the place, everyone waited for Nux to appear, and all the members of the Shadow Unit were on high alert.
*Step*
Suddenly, everyone heard a sound.
Their heads turned towards the direction in a millisecond,
*Step* *Step* *Step*
There, they saw Nux walking out of a tent with a small smile on his face.
"You finally regrouped huh… It took you longer than I expected…"
"You are strong," Keeve spoke.
"Don't act like you didn't know it already."
Nux smiled.
"I di-"
Keeve was about to reply, however suddenly, Nux disappeared.
"!!!"
Keeve's eyes widened in surprise, his whole body went on full alert,
*Thud*
Soon, he heard a sound, he turned and saw one of his unit members pass out, behind him stood Nux, who was already attacking another member.
"Attack him!"
Keeve ordered.
All the members of the Shadow Unit, including Keeve, Reeve, and Wysten rushed toward Nux. Nux of course, wasn't scared, he continued to attack more and more members, the moment he thought that he would be surrounded, he disappeared and appeared in another direction and continued his attacks.
He wasn't using any skills, in particular, he only used his hands to attack behind their necks, knocking them out.
This made it even more shameful for the members of the Shadow Unit and raised their anger and frustration.
Nux, however, was not doing that to annoy them or anything like that.
The answer was simple, if he used his skills here, they would die.
He wanted to impress Astaria, however, he was not planning to kill these people, they would be his wife's subordinates in the future.
"Attack him!"
"Don't let him get away!"
"He disappeared! Be aware! He will appear behind y-Uggghh!"
"Stop shouting you idiot, you have to be alert as well."
Nux shook his head in disappointment.
"You bastard!"
A Grand Master Stage Cultivator jumped at him with his sword in his hand,
Nux easily dodged his attack and attacked the back of his neck as well.
"Uggghh!!"
The man passed out as well.
Another man rushed towards Nux and tried to punch his face, Nux crouched, punched his stomach, the man fell on his knees and started coughing, Nux then kicked another man who was rushing towards him from behind, the man's body flew away and fell on a tent, destroying the whole thing.
Nux then knocked out the man who was still coughing due to his punch.
Four more members attacked him, and he dodged and knocked them out as well.
By now, the King Stage Cultivator realized what he was trying to do.
Therefore, to respect his wishes, or… may be trying to save the last strand of self-respect they were left with, none of them attacked.
They waited for Nux to defeat all the… 'small fries' and once Nux was done with it.
The three of them would face him together.
Nux, however, had a different plan in his mind.
As he knocked down the last of the small fries, he glanced at the Three King Stage Cultivators.
Their body felt a slight shiver when they felt their gaze, soon, however, they took their battle stance, showing that they were ready for the last battle.
Nux, however, pointed at the 3 King Stage Cultivators who had passed out and smiled,
"Wake them up, you don't stand a chance without them.
I want to fight the bests of Shadow Unit, this time, without any tricks involved."
*Loud Siren Sound*
"Where is he!?"
"Have you checked that tent!?"
"No, I have not!"
"Hey! There are 12 more unconscious here!"
"Leave them, search other tents!"
"9 unconscious here!"
"7 here!"
"11 here!"
