1311 He was not ready.
"Stop that," Vyriana spoke, this time, the look on her face made it clear that she was not joking. In the end, Aeliana decided to step back as well. She knew better than anyone not to push the Dragon further than required. Also, as fun as teasing her was, watching how the entire thing would play out would be much more entertaining.
Seeing the smile on the Vampire's face, Vyriana narrowed her eyes; she could tell what was going on in her friend's mind. However, she knew there was nothing she could do in this condition. She made the bet, now she needed to respect it. She should only be satisfied by the fact that Aeliana decided not to push her any further.
However, unlike what Vyriana thought, Aeliana still wasn't done yet.
"Since you do not look like you wish to joke around, how about I ask you some serious questions?" Aeliana spoke up, and as Vyriana glanced at her, she could no longer see her friend who always had a smile on her face. She could only see the Pseudo leader of the Ancestral Order. The change in the air around Aeliana was so sure that even Vyriana was having a hard time getting used to it.
"What is it?" Vyriana questioned.
Aeliana then glanced at Vyriana with a serious look on her face and said, "Why is Nux Leander clueless about how Laws work? I thought I gave you the responsibility to teach him everything he needed to know."
The instant those words left Aeliana's mouth, Amaya and the rest of Nux's wives turned towards Vyriana. They wanted the answer to this question as well.
It was clear that Vyriana was the one who told Astaria about Laws and was partly responsible for Astaria's strength. If she wanted, Vyriana could have shared this information with Nux as well, and maybe he would have already comprehended his Law by now and could have been much stronger than his current self. None of them knew why Vyriana hadn't done such a thing.
Was it because she favored her disciple? All the wives knew that it wasn't the case; even when they were training together, Vyriana focused more on Nux than Astaria. The Dragon enjoyed training Nux because he always surpassed her expectations. She had no reason to not teach Nux about Laws.
Therefore, they all wanted to know why Vyriana hadn't done it yet.
Vyriana, on the other hand, completely ignored all the people around her and simply looked into Aeliana's eyes.
"And I am supposed to listen to your orders, why?" She questioned as she tilted her head. She didn't like the bossy tone Aeliana had used when she confronted her. Aeliana may be the Pseudo Leader of the Ancestral Order because all the Progenitors pushed their duties on her, however, Vyriana wasn't her subordinate, neither did she like being treated like one.
Aeliana, who realized her mistake, was quick to change her tone, "You said you will take his responsibility. That was also the reason why I held others back from going to him. You know how valuable he is, correct? Why is he unaware of such a basic thing? Are you going back on your words?"
"He was not ready," Vyriana answered.
Aeliana narrowed her eyes, "What do you mean?"
"Nux is different from others," Vyriana replied. Then, she pointed at Amaya and said, "Take that girl, for example. She has the Devouring Mist Demon Physique, she has raised the Mastery Level of her Physique to Perfection Level and is already capable of Devouring her enemies' Life Force. From this, her future Path could clearly be seen and related to the Law she forms.
Teaching her about Laws, Paths, and Cultivation Realms after the Divine makes sense because the girl would get results very quickly. The same is true for the girl who recently turned into a Dragon, the Cat, and this girl's mother." Vyriana spoke as she mentioned Ember, Thyra, and Riona.
"The Shadow Demon is quite close as well," Vyriana then mentioned Lane, who had already left together with Nux, just like a shadow should.
"Nux, however, is different," Vyriana finally came to the main topic.
"He has Mastered his Devouring Mist Demon Physique to Perfection Level, he has learned Assassination Skills, he excels in Swordsmanship, he has the abilities of a Vampire, a Catkin, a Shadow Demon, an Incubus, now even an Elf and a Dragon.
He is known as the man with the greatest potential the world has ever seen, which is a great thing, right now, however, his great potential is the biggest thing holding him back.
He is too versatile; in his current state, he cannot comprehend a Law.
He cannot just choose one of the things he excels in and form a Law related to it. Laws do not work like that. Laws are the perception of one's 'self,' and Nux's 'self' is simply too complicated,"
Vyriana pointed out the problem, and in an instant, everyone around turned silent.
Nux's wives lowered their heads. Aeliana, on the other hand, started pondering and was trying to come up with a solution. Vyriana, who noticed how the overall atmosphere of the room had fallen, added another thing, "Also, it was Nux who wanted to not know about Laws."
"What...?" It wasn't just Aeliana; even Nux's wives were surprised when they heard this.
Seeing that all the attention was on her once again, Vyriana shrugged,
"Well, seeing that his wife was working so hard to surprise him, he stopped training so that Astaria could make a grand return and regain her self-confidence. He was worried that if he comprehended a Law, Astaria would feel the same again and nothing would change, and well, According to his words, he wanted his warrior back.
Also, the entire reason that girl worked so hard to form one of the Strongest Laws there is was that she wanted to show it to her husband and open the next path for him with her own hands.
If Nux already knew about the Laws, that girl wouldn't even have half the motivation she had.
It is strange, however, since the girl was able to form a Law of Absolute, I guess it all worked out fine in the end."
