1189 Can you tell them to leave? Their wariness towards is worrying
"Mother, you are back."
Ariana spoke as she rushed towards her mother who just returned after witnessing what could be called one of the greatest events in the history of Yrniel.
"What happened!? Did Nux co? What about Lord Arcturus?" Ariana had too many questions. The news couldn't possibly travel faster than Divine Stage Cultivators, of course, Call Artifacts could be used, however, even then, too many things happened to simply give out details on a Call tablet.
Ariana also wanted to learn more about this from the most authentic source. Honestly, she wanted to go together with her mother, however, Lyriana, who predicted that things might not go as smoothly and a fight between Divines might break out ordered her to stay here.
"Arcturus did co and so did Nux."
Lyriana answered her daughter's question and Ariana's eyes widened in surprise,
"What? They both ca? Then what happened to Nux?
Was he captured by Lord Arcturus? Or did the two solve the issues between them? What about that Clan who challenged ExceedoGenesis, what did they do? Did they fight? Who won?"
It was obvious that Ariana was deeply involved in the matter, and how could she not?
Soone who was on the sa level as her was going against one of the strongest cultivators in Yrniel! Just the level of confidence Nux Leander had shown had put her in awe.
Yes, she knew that what he did was foolish and extrely dangerous, but to think he did all that because his wife was attacked, this proved how much Nux Leander loved and valued his wives and Ariana respected that courage.
She doubted there would be many n who would go that far for their wives and sowhere in her heart, she also felt jealous of those won.
She always did wonder why those won always stuck to him like lovestruck fools, now however, all her doubts were solved. With how Nux Leander treated his wives, becoming a lovestruck fool for him was simply not possible.
For Ariana, this entire matter was like reading a story about a hero going against the vilest villains of the world for the sake of the people he loved and of course, just like most people, she was rooting for the hero even though the chances of Nux actually winning this confrontation were... close to null.
After all, this wasn't a novel, but real life.
And in real life... heroes never win...
Only the Strong prevail.
However,
"It was not a challenge, it was an event arranged by Arcturus and Soren to humiliate Nux, Arcturus had brought 50 Divine Stage Dragons with him and had surrounded the Arena, he created a scenario where if Nux appeared, then no matter who is helping him, he wouldn't leave harmless.
Soren, on the other hand, started humiliating Nux by calling him a coward for not coming out, he even tried to target his wives, telling them to co to him and he would let them live."
Lyriana narrated the entire event.
"50 Divine Stage Cultivators..." Ariana widened her eyes in horror.
Yes, she knew that all of them were incomplete cultivators and that in front of the Ancestral Order, this lineup was not very impressive,
However...
50 Divine Stage Cultivators... it was a lineup that could completely destroy the Elven Kingdom, no, not just Elven Kingdom, this lineup could destroy almost all the powers in Yrniel. The only ones who could possibly resist this lineup were the Vampires, however, even they would lose a significant amount of power if they went against them... "T-Then what happened to Nux...? You said he ca... w-was he captured...?"
Nux was crazy enough to challenge the strongest leader of Yrniel because his wife was hard, so if soone tried to give a public 'offer' like this to his wives... The chances that he would lose control over his emotions and co out were high... and that was what Ariana feared...
"He ca, no, more accurately, it was his Clone."
"A Clone...?"
"Yes, the real Nux Leander had already slaughtered all the mbers of the Ashenhelm Clan, so since there were no mbers left who could fight, ExceedoGenesis was declared to be the winner."
"That's allowed!?" Ariana was shocked.
"Heh, most of the things that happened weren't initially allowed.
This is not the place where rules apply, Ariana.
The Strongest fist wins."
Lyriana replied with a smile on her face.
"..."
Ariana didn't know how to react to her mother's words.
Lyriana simply patted her daughter's head,
"Anyways, I am quite tired, so I will be taking my leave."
"W-Wait."
Before Lyriana could leave, another question popped up in Ariana's mind,
"How did Nux Leander form a Clone? Isn't that the ability of an Incubus?" She questioned.
Hearing that question, Lyriana montarily froze, then, with a small smile on her face, she replied,
"He must have gotten help from the Devil, after all, the two of them are quite good friends."
"...I see."
Ariana nodded in understanding.
Lyriana, on the other hand, returned to her room, then, she as she sat on her head with a sigh,
"You look tired."
She heard a voice.
"!!!"
Her eyes widened in surprise as she noticed a man sitting right next to her on her bed. Her instincts took over as she quickly stood up and backed away,
"I heard you went to the Vampire King because you wanted to et , what can I help you with, Lady Lyriana?"
Nux questioned with a playful smile on his face.
Lyriana, on the other hand, narrowed her eyes,
"I would like to talk to the real person, not a re clone."
"I am worried that Lady Lyriana will capture and give to the Dragon."
"Do you not trust ?"
"We are not exactly close, are we?" Nux replied.
"That's quite hurtful. I thought we were quite close, considering how I have kept your secret all this while.
You know you wouldn't be here if Arcturus already knew, correct? If I wanted to curry favor with him, I would have done it a long ti ago."
Hearing those words, Nux sighed,
"Alright, I guess I can trust you."
Then, he pointed above and,
"So can you tell them to leave? Their wariness towards is worrying.
I am quite a coward you see, so please accommodate .
I am also looking forward to talking with a woman as beautiful as you... alone."
