"And you must be the one who killed Herms."
Suddenly, the man turned his face towards Astaria and spoke.
Astaria, who was still immersed in her own thoughts was taken by surprise when the man turned towards her. She noticed the pressure surrounding her body became heavier. She, however, used her own Mana to negate the pressure and looked into the man's eyes without an ounce of fear in her eyes.
"He was weak."
She replied.
She never needed any justification to kill anyone.
"Heeeh?"
Hearing her reply, the man couldn't help but smile.
"He was weak huh?"
The man muttered.
Suddenly, Nux stepped close to Astaria. Even though he didn't say anything, his intent was clear.
He was ready for the fight.
If something happens, he would fight together with Astaria.
"Well, you aren't wrong, he was pretty weak."
Suddenly, the man laughed. He then glanced at Roone and nodded,
"The same goes for this man, he was weak as well."
Then, the man frowned,
"But I remember giving this my combat gear, how did he lose when he had that?
And most importantly, where is my combat gear?" The man questioned as he glanced at Nux.
It was as if asking the question was just a formality, he knew Nux had the combat gear with him.
Nux narrowed his eyes, preparing for the battle.
There is no way in hell he was going to give the combat gear to this man. He was already scary enough as he was. If he got the combat gear with that, things would get even messier.
As if he read Nux's mind, the man smiled and shook his head,
"You know I can kill you without the combat gear, right?"
"…"
Nux didn't say anything.
'Would the [Blink Fault] work?' Suddenly, Nux heard Ember's voice.
'Where are you?'
Nux questioned in a panicked tone.
Anything but that.
His women should not come here. No matter what.
He didn't want to say it directly, but with their current strength, they would become a weakness.
'Don't worry, we won't be coming there.
For now at least.'
Ember knew what Nux was thinking and couldn't help but clench her fist in anger.
She was angry at her weak self. The other women were the same.
They have sensed Nawdren's Aura as well.
All of them were helpless in front of an Emperor, compared to someone who can overwhelm Emperors,
They were like ants.
None of the women were stupid enough to rush toward Nux in this situation, they would only make things worse, they knew it.
At the same time, none of them decided to run away either.
Not because they were planning to help when needed, as mentioned before, they wouldn't be able to do anything, they only stayed there because they didn't wish to stand out.
No one knew how strong Nawdren's perception was.
If he noticed that all of them were running away, he might chase after them, which would in turn make things difficult for Nux.
'It's fine then.' Nux sighed in relief.
'Anyways, what about it, would [Blink Fault] work?' Ember questioned again.
Nux glanced at Nawdren who was picking his nose with a careless look on his face and the shool his head,
'I do not know… but if I had to guess…
Then I don't think it would…'
'…'
Ember and other women's expressions turned serious.
'Do you… have any plans?'
Ember questioned.
'…' Nux didn't say anything.
The women turned silent.
Thyra turned towards Amaya, however, this time, even she shook her head.
The same was true for Riona as well.
She didn't have any way out either.
"Haahh! This is getting boring." Suddenly, Nawdren sighed.
Then, his relaxed body language changed and he glanced at Nux and Astaria,
"You two killed my subordinates, that is unacceptable.
Surrender, replace these two, hand over your Kingdoms to me, and I will let you live.
How is it?"
"Keep dreaming."
Astaria responded.
Hearing this reply, Nawdren's smile widened.
"As I expected. You guys are a lot more fun than these two weak bastards! Hahaha!
This would definate-"
Before the man could even complete, Nux appeared in front of him and attacked.
However, to Nux's shock, the man simply grabbed his sword with his finger and a thumb and glanced at him.
"You are quite gutsy, a complete opposite of how you were trembling a while ago. I commend yo-"
Before Nawdren could complete, stepped away.
A huge spike popped out of the ground he was standing on.
He glanced at the Spike with a curious look on his face and started wondering,
"That's quite an interesting Skill you have, is it an 8-Star Skill? But how do you have something like that? Boy, you sure are full of sur-"
Astaria appeared behind Nawdren and attacked as well. Both she and Nux were in no mood of listening to his bullshit.
Only Nux had the right to bullshit while he is battling, everyone else was just annoying.
Unlike Nux's attack, which Nawdren could simply ignore, Astaria was different,
Even though he was strong, Nawdren still had to be a little cautious around Astaria, he quickly dodged her attack.
Nux, on the other hand, attacked again using his other sword.
Nawdren simply used the Nux's sword that he was holding to block his other sword, Nux, however, had already expected it, he let go of both his swords and used this chance to kick Nawdren's face.
*Bam*
However, to Nux's surprise, his kick didn't do any damage to Nawdren even though his attack connected perfectly.
"You shouldn't have done that bo-"
Nawdren was about to warn, however, Astaria used this chance and aim at his neck, trying to behead him for good.
Nawdren narrowly dodged.
Two new swords appeared in Nux's hands as he attacked again.
Both Astaria and Nux showed frightening teamwork, the one that put even someone like Nawdren in a tight spot.
"You fucking pests!!
I was being patient just now."
Suddenly, the Aura around Nawdren changed.
Now he was actually pissed.
He suddenly disappeared from where he stood and appeared behind Nux.
"Nux!!!"
Astaria shouted in worry.
"!!!"
Nux's eyes widened in surprise.
He quickly activated [Mirror] to block Nawdren's attack. However, Nawdren was faster, his punch connected and,
*Crack*
Nux's spine broke.
"AAagggggghhhhhh!"
"And you must be the one who killed Herms."
Suddenly, the man turned his face towards Astaria and spoke.
Astaria, who was still immersed in her own thoughts was taken by surprise when the man turned towards her. She noticed the pressure surrounding her body became heavier. She, however, used her own Mana to negate the pressure and looked into the man's eyes without an ounce of fear in her eyes.
