1139 End it quickly, I don't have all day.
"You fucking Coward! Did you finally grow enough balls to show yourself!?"
A shout was heard, no one knew who it came from, however, once it did, more and more people started shouting, calling Nux a coward for not coming out and fighting earlier.
"Why did you come out, did you perhaps bribe the Bloodmoon to lose to you? Oh wait, you can't do that since
ExceedoGenesis is broke! Hahaha!"
People started laughing, most of them were King Stage or Grand Master Stage
Cultivators who had seen Nux Leander for the first time and were extremely jealous, whether it was because those 12 beautiful women who followed him, or because of how their own women were looking at him with literal hearts in their eyes, or maybe both, no one knew.
However, using this chance to his advantage, Darain chuckled and, "People are quite ruthless, to think they would say the truth right in your face, they have no tact."
Nux didn't react, rather, he didn't care enough to react. The crowd's opinion could be changed in an instant, Nux wasn't foolish enough to beat himself up because of something like that.
Right now, he was much more interested in a certain presence that he sensed in the stadium.
'She is here.'
A smile appeared on his face.
Darain interpreted that smile wrongly, "You are smiling? Do you perhaps like it when others insult you?"
Nux finally glanced at the Saint standing in front of him and, "No, I just like to crush people when they think they are better than me, the expressions they make when they lose are quite entertaining."
Hearing those arrogant words, Darian's mouth twitched in annoyance, he forced a smile on his face to not lose this psychological battle and, "I was actually worried that you wouldn't show up, I am gl-"
Before he could even complete it, Nux glanced at the announcer and, "Call the overseer for the match, I do not have all day." He ordered.
"O-Okay." The announcer's mouth moved on her own, she just nodded at Nux's words as if it was the more natural thing to do.
However, since she had already done so, she decided not to till the two exchanged a few words and called for this battle's overseer.
A woman wearing the Order's robe that hide her face walked in.
Seeing her walking in, Nux's smile couldn't get any wider,
"You couldn't live without me, could you Vyriana?"
He chuckled.
Vyriana stared at him with his golden eyes, then completely ignoring his words, she spoke, "I told you not to act recklessly and this is the first thing you do after coming here? It has been like what? A week? You couldn't even hold back for 7 days?"
Seeing that the overseer of the Battle knew Nux and seemed on friendly terms with him Darain frowned, he was worried that this might change the result of today's battle.
On the other hand, Nux was busy trying to defend himself,
"Oh come on, just look at him, he is the strongest they have.
Is this not being careful already?
How much lower should I get? No, can I even get any lower? You aren't telling me to fight King Stage Cultivators now, are you? I have to accept the challenges eventually, don't I? I am starting with the weakest and the safest option there is."
Nux replied.
Vyriana glanced at Darain for a while, then, she shook her head, "That's not important, you think he is the one I am worried about?"
"Oh? So who is it?"
"Haven't you sensed those guys keeping an eye on you? They are all over the place,"
Vyriana replied.
"Well, I was planning on capturing one of them today."
"Don't bother, they are from the Black Order.
They will disappear the moment you try to go after them."
Vyriana replied.
"Black Order...?"
Nux tilted his head in confusion.
"That is what they call themselves, they have been in Yrniel for 1000s of years, however, recently, they have become much more active," Vyriana explained.
"So they are the mysterious force behind those memory artifacts...?" Nux questioned.
"Memory Artifacts? Oh, the Memoryweaver Amulet? Yes, they are the ones who are mass producing and distributing them to spread more chaos in Yrniel."
"How is the Order planning on dealing with them? From what I have heard, the
situation is quite dire."
"For now, we pl-"
"Oi, the Overseer. Can you continue your little chat later when I beat him up? Unlike you who is free enough to brew some fantasy story and act like you are some sort of big shot, I have some more important things to deal with."
Before Vyriana could complete her
sentence, Darain interrupted.
"..."
Vyriana momentarily froze up as she stared at Darain.
Darain couldn't see her face, but for some reason, he could sense Vyriana's eyes that were gazing at him and for some reason, this made him shudder.
Realizing that he might have overstepped his limits, Darian prepared himself to face the biggest adversary in his life, even going as far as calculating how other people here could help him get out of the sticky situation if he himself couldn't resist the Overseer.
To his shock, however, the overseer turned towards Nux and,
"You know what to do, correct?"
"Of course, you know you can always rely on me, right?" Nux took the opportunity.
"We will continue our talk later." Vyriana ignored his words yet again.
Then, she stepped back and,
"Start."
The two Clans didn't move, they looked at each other, trying to assess their opponents' strengths and weaknesses.
Or... that was what the Bloodmoon members thought, but then,
The Overseer walked towards Nux's wives.
The wives bowed their heads, a second later, they took out a big table from their storage ring, placed the chairs around it and after Vyriana sat down, the other wives sat down as well.
"End it quickly, I don't have all day."
Vyriana waved her hands, shooing Nux away as if she was sending him away to do the most boring task while she enjoyed the tea Lane served.
