1146 Where is the Devil?
"Oh? Why don't you give it a try?"
Nux spoke as he stepped forward.
"Your student is quite arrogant." Aeliana, who was keeping an eye on the situation commented with an amused look on her face.
"Is he perhaps betting on the fact that you will come to his rescue?" She questioned.
Vyriana, who was standing beside her shook her head,
"He won't disappoint me, I told him not to."
"So are you saying that he can defeat the Dragon?" Aeliana raised her eyebrow, Incomplete or not, Divine Stage Cultivator is someone who has already formed his Law of Self, there is no way he would lose against a Semi Saint, or even a Saint.
No matter how weak the Law of Self a cultivator has formed is, the pressure that a Law releases is too much for normal cultivators to take.
Vyriana or even Aeliana couldn't do something like this when they were Saints.
"Of course not."
Vyriana had the same thoughts as well, she knew Nux's limit more than any other person, he was strong, absurdly strong for a Semi Saint, however, even Nux cannot defeat a Divine Stage Cultivator.
Even if he was one of the weaklings.
"Then what is he trying to do...?" Aeliana frowned in confusion.
Why would you try to antagonize someone who could crush you with a mere thought?
She couldn't understand.
Vyriana, however, just smiled, "Arcturus was too disrespectful for a mere reject."
"..."
Aeliana stared at the woman standing next to him and seeing her smile, she finally understood why Nux was acting like this... 'He is her student...'
The problem wasn't that man who was standing against the Dragon Lord, but the teacher who taught him.
"So what will you do if your student gets beaten up by a mere reject?" Aeliana questioned, trying to understand Nux's plan through Vyriana.
"Hmm? What else? If he gets beaten up he gets beaten up. His fault for not knowing his limits."
Vyriana shrugged.
"..."
Aeliana turned silent.
Just now, this woman was supporting her student and now she was picking faults with him. Just what in the hell did she want?
'How did he endure someone as unreasonable as her for such a long time?'
Aeliana wondered in her head. However, a moment later, she got the answer.
'Maybe he is perfect for her.'
In the end, she just shook her head and decided to keep an eye on the situation and... if it went too far, she decided to interfere. Though Aeliana highly doubted Vyriana would just stay silent and let someone beat her student up.
...
On the other side, just when things were about to get heated, Ambrosia, Lyriana, and other Divine Stage Cultivators rushed into the room as well. Sensing the tension in the room, they all widened their eyes in surprise.
Knowing Arcturus's temper, they had an inkling that things might not go that well but... they never thought things would get so far!
Nux and Arcturus standing face to face as if they are ready to tear each other apart.
What in the hell was happening here!?
Also, just where did Nux find the balls to stand against the Dragon Lord!?
Was he out of his mind?
"Nux." Ambrosia called out.
"Mothers-in-law, it has been a while."
Nux greeted with a smile on his face.
Eisheth and Ambrosia however, didn't share his excitement.
"What are you trying to do?" Ambrosia questioned then, she turned towards Arcturus and,
"And are you just going to let a Semi Saint get the best of you? Just think about how it sounds, you were the one who barged into his room, if something happens to him here, rumors that the Dragon Lord targeted a Semi Saint would spread, you want that attached to your name? Are you sure the Blaze Family wants that?"
"So are you telling me to let a mere Semi Saint disrespect me?" Arcturus narrowed his eyes.
"I am telling you to act your age," Ambrosia replied.
Seeing that Ambrosia's words were working, Alaric stepped forward as well.
"Yes, we are the ones who are here asking for a favor, not the other way around. So calm down and accept that you were in the wrong here."
"Are you asking me to apologize?"
"No, that's not it."
"Huh? Who said that? I want him to apologize for barging into my room." Nux spoke up as well.
"Nux."
Alaric then turned towards Nux and, "Even if we are just 'rejects', the fact is, that all of us have the power to crush you in a second, it is a good thing that you are not one of the 'rejects', but that is all.
You are still very much a weakling who is much weaker than anyone present in the room.
So stop being so arrogant."
"..." Nux turned silent.
Seeing that he was willing to listen, Alaric continued,
"Now let us start again, I know you have prior arrangements, but I assure you that this won't take long, I wouldn't have bothered you if it was not urgent, I will be owing you a favor if you do help us out."
"..."
The room turned silent as the heavy atmosphere finally calmed down.
"The technique that allows you to control those Purple Spikes at will, it is quite similar to the Devil, do you perhaps have some sort of relationship with the Devil?
Do you know where the Devil is?"
Alaric questioned.
"Why do you want to know that?" Nux questioned back.
"Well..."
Alaric didn't know how to answer that.
A smile then appeared on Nux's face and, "You want to kill him, don't you?
I heard what happened the day that guy defeated the Seven Heroes.
I must say, he is quite impressive."
Arcturus narrowed his eyes when Nux said those words.
"..."
Alaric didn't know how to continue, Nux seemed to have a favorable impression of the Devil and he also knew that they weren't the same, he highly doubted Nux would share the Devil's whereabouts.
"I can tell you where he is."
Nux replied, then, a smile appeared on his face, and,
"But I highly doubt if any of you can reach him."
