*BAM*
Nawdren's body was sent flying.
"Khoooocckkkk!!"
He had used all his Mana to defend against Nux's attack, honestly, it was a useless attempt, Nux's attack was strong enough to break through his defenses even if Nux didn't use Mana.
And if Nux uses Mana…
Then it's not even a question, Nawdren was done for.
That is, if Nux was still unable to control his power.
Luckily for Nawdren, Nux wasn't lying when he said he improved his control over his power.
Nawdren had coughed out blood and around 30 bones in his body were broken, but in the end, he still managed to live.
"Haahh… Haahh… Haahaa…"
And this was something even Nawdren couldn't believe.
When Nux punched, he had sensed the threat behind that punch, he knew what it was.
He felt how that punched absorbed the surrounding Mana, he felt the impact of the punch before it even touched him, that punch…
It was by no means a normal punch…
It was death.
A sure death.
Nawdren's body was in pain and he couldn't move.
However, he didn't care…
He was alive…
He didn't know how it happened and he didn't care either,
He just thanked his luck and the mother nature for being such a grea-
*Step*
"1…"
Suddenly,
Nux appeared in front of Nawdren.
"2…"
'Why is he counting?'
Nawdren frowned.
"3…"
"!!!"
Soon, Nawdren realized and his eyes widened in horror.
With trembling body, he glanced at Nux and just as he thought, he was standing at arms distance near him.
That bastard…
He was still playing this foolish game…
"4…"
The count of death.
Nawdren could hear it…
The sounds of bell ringing… it was his time…
"5."
Nawdren closed his eyes, preparing himself for the impact.
"…"
However, more and more time passed, and nothing happened.
Nawdren slowly opened his eyes, he noticed Nux had crouched in front of him and was looking at him with a curious look on his face,
"You don't want to play more?"
Nux questioned.
"…"
Nawdren's mouth twitched.
Nux chuckled, then, a Health Potion appeared in his hand and he fed it to Nawdren.
"I told you to trust me, didn't I?" Nux spoke.
Nawdren drank the Potion, his body couldn't really move right now, so he had to depend on Nux.
He glanced at Nux who was feeding him the Potion and realized,
Nux was not an emotionless bastard. He could trust this man.
"Hahaha~ It was difficult at first, but I managed to do just fine, didn't I?"
Nux spoke and Nawdren smiled a little as well.
He weakly nodded and then, Nux continued,
"Don't worry though, we will continue to play this game everyday until I get perfect my control.
So get well soon, okay?"
"…"
Nawdren stopped drinking the Potion.
"Oi, what are you doing? It is falling on the ground."
Nux spoke.
Nawdren clenched his fists.
Nux quickly emptied the Potion then gave him another one.
"You can go to your room when you feel you are fine."
Saying those words, Nux stood up and walked towards his wives.
"He's alive."
Astaria commented with an impressed look on her face.
"What did you think? That I will kill him?"
"Well, that punch did look scary."
"I am getting better."
"Mhm, you are working hard."
Astaria nodded.
At the same time, she again understood why Nux didn't allow them to play.
Even if it was her…
She would have died if Nux the moment Nux's punch had connected.
She stood no chance at all.
This man…
He really was a monster…
And to stand side by side against this monster…
She needed to train more.
"I am going."
Astaria spoke with a serious look on her face.
The other women quickly understood where she was going and,
"I am going as well."
Ember spoke up as well.
"Same."
"Mhm, me too."
One by one, all the women started leaving.
Even Edda had a rare, solemn expression on her face.
Just like that, Nux was left alone.
He glanced at Nawdren again.
He wanted to spar, but seeing him, he knew that was not possible…
"Haahhh…"
After a long sigh, Nux stretched his body and walked towards his training area as well.
He would be training alone today as well.
His training schedule was simple, first, he trained his control using Thyra's techniques. Of course, those techniques focused more on body flexibilities, however, after some experiments and tweaking, he created a training method that worked wonders.
And since the essence of this method were Thyra's techniques, it also improved Nux's battle senses, including some of Thyra's moves in the fighting style that he had created.
It was harder since Thyra's main focus was on daggers and Nux used swords, however, attacking unpredictably, going for lethal points, balancing the body on weird angles to aim at hard to defend points, Nux started including all those moves into his battle style.
His Battle Style was now strange mixture of Astaria's and Thyra's Battle Style. It was a combination so complex that it didn't just look like a mixture, rather, it was a completely different Battle Style, the Battle Style only Nux can fight with.
Nux also had a chat with Riona, knowing that she was the one who trained Thyra, he wanted to learn something from her, however, soon, he realized that Riona only taught Thyra the basics, everything else, Thyra created it on her own, from the scratch.
Riona herself fought with a sword, there was no way she could teach anything to Thyra. She just told her what she desired and somehow, Thyra showed the result.
Thyra was no different than a prodigy either.
Anyways, improving his Battle Style and Control wasn't the only thing Nux focused on.
Actually, it wasn't even his main focus right now.
He had 2 main focus right now.
The First one was the Devouring Mist.
Yes, his Physique.
He has achieved Mastered level Mastery and his Devouring Mist now had the power to Devour Life.
What more could he possibly achieve?
Even killing Emperors wasn't a big deal for the current Nux.
However, Nux realized this a while ago.
