1136 He is back.
"Nux Leander is back."
A man reported with his head bowed.
"Is that so...?"
The man sitting on the chair muttered, from his carefree tone, he didn't seem particularly interested in the news.
The man had red hair and golden eyes, it was a unique combination and this combined with his sharp features, large brown horns on his head, scales on his body, and confident aura that oozed out of him made him one of the most handsome men in the world.
He was a Dragon who used to work for the Order, however, 150 years ago, he was sent to Yrniel and was ordered to create a clan.
At first, he thought it was a pointless task, soon, however, as he continued to trample on those arrogant weaklings, his opinion changed. Yes, it was true that there was nothing to gain from this place, however, just seeing the sheer helplessness on his opponents' faces as all their hopes were crushed right in front of their eyes, It was an addicting feeling.
It didn't take long for him to get used to it and once he did, he continued his role as the Leader of the Force Clan and turned it into one of the Top Clans in Yrniel.
And it didn't end here either, once the Order started losing its influence and another mysterious force appeared out of nowhere and started challenging them.
The man finally found the last thing he had been missing.
Thrill.
As Dragon, his intense Lust for battle was satisfied.
The Order continued to lose its influence, less and less inspections of the Clan started taking place and soon, rebellious thoughts started building in his mind.
After all, why bother following someone who is already having a hard time controlling things?
Of course, it was true that the Order had the Battle Power required to take control over the situation anytime they wanted, however, that force had other things to deal with.
And the fact they didn't send them even after so much chaos had spread all over Yrniel, the man received the last confirmation that was required.
There was no need to follow Order's commands any longer, they could simply rule however they wanted, fight against these unknown enemies on their own, and start gathering more and more influence, even reaching the areas he was not allowed to extend his arms to.
Of course, this didn't mean he wanted to start a coup, in papers, he was a member of the Order, there was no point in betraying an all-powerful organization that had cultivators who could destroy this world with a snap of their fingers.
He would only be going... a little 'out of control.'
Nothing else.
And from what he knew, he wasn't the only Clan Leader who did this either. Many other Clan Leaders had decided the same thing.
The Order had lost most of its influence even in the clans created by their members.
"But there is a problem." The man's servant replied.
"What is it?"
"A Clan named Bloodmoon has challenged his clan and he has accepted. So Nux will be fighting in 6 days."
"And how is that a problem?"
"Shouldn't we be trying to fight and defeat Nux instead, it would only be beneficial if we are the first ones to do it. People wouldn't care if Nux is already defeated by other Clans and our reputation wouldn't grow. We need to take advantage of his advantage that precedes his name."
The servant voiced out his thoughts. The man, however, shook his head,
"Zaras, keep this in mind, we do not need to leech onto others' reputations right now.
What do you think would happen even if we defeat Nux?
'Nux Leander reappears, defeated by Lord Aurelios, the previous Generation' strongest is nothing but an average weakling.'
The words would be about how Nux is weak, not how I am strong.
Rather, if Nux wins and shows that he is still as unstoppable as before,"
A big smile appeared on Aurelios's face and, "Now that would be something worth defeating."
"So Nux Leander needs to be qualified enough for Lord Aurelios to bother himself about him."
"That is correct.
Let him fight, let him prove himself, if he can do it, then we will be challenging him, and if he cannot,
There is no point in wasting our time on him."
Aurelios smiled.
"I understand." The servant nodded.
Then, he glanced at Aurelio's and questioned, "So how are we going to proceed?"
"Send someone to watch the challenge and have him report everything to me."
"It will be done." The servant nodded before he walked away.
"Heh, I wonder what you are going to show me, Nux Leander. I hope you will be entertaining enough." The man chuckled.
...
"He is finally making a move." On a completely different continent, a
white-haired man with extremely sharp features commented with a smile on his face.
"7 days huh... he has become more calmer than before."
Alaric commented as he sipped on the Blood Tea.
"Heh, let's not come to any conclusions just yet, alright?" Ambrosia chuckled.
"Why are you acting like that? Did Melia tell you something?" Alaric questioned.
Ambrosia's smile widened, "That is what makes it so interesting, no matter how much I try to ask her, she isn't willing to tell me everything.
She just says that they have become a lot stronger than before."
"Isn't that a given though? After all, they were trained by Lady Vyriana. Not to mention their entire foundations were rebuilt, so of course they would be a lot stronger than before.
The question is...
How much?
How much did they grow?
How much did our Melia grow?" Alaric questioned.
"Well that's what the craze is all about, now isn't there? It won't be as fun if they reveal everything together.
Also, we will be witnessing everything with our own eyes soon, won't we?
So be patient."
"Aagh, I can't wait." Alaric was impatient.
"When are we leaving?" he questioned.
"Tomorrow.
And I am sure we will be seeing many familiar faces there."
"Hahaha~ you are right about that."
