"You should only focus on your duel, brat.
Don't forget about our bet."
Vyriana just looked at him with a smug look on her face and laughed out loud. "…" Nux stared at her in silence, not knowing what to say. He couldn't believe the Dragon was withholding information.
She was playing dirty!
Nux snorted inwardly, then, he turned towards his wife, and for a mont, he forgot everything about the bet and couldn't help but stare at his wife with a dumbfounded look on his face.
Astaria hadn't gone through many changes, after all, she didn't change her race like her sisters, she however, despite not looking very different than before, had a completely different bearing compared to before.
The strange, confident aura that radiated from her body made Nux's heart beat rapidly, he felt like he was in front of a tall presence that couldn't be tad and was destined for greatness, however, knowing that this being belonged to him filled him with endless sense of satisfaction.
"Astaria Leander."
He called out, focusing on the word Leander to signify that the woman standing in front of him belonged to him.
"It has been a while." Astaria greeted with a small smile on her face as she walked towards him. As she continued to step forward, her aura burst out, she wasn't trying to suppress Nux or trying to intimidate him, it was just that her presence had turned into sothing completely different than before, her 'impact' on the universe had changed.
Her long black hair flew with the wind, her brown eyes that looked right into Nux's eyes carried endless confidence and… with a complete contrast to everything else, love.
Nux's heart fluttered as he glanced at his wife.
"You look good, so good that I wish to devour you right here and now."
Nux spoke.
*Astaria Leander (New Form)*
A smile appeared on Astaria's face,
"Then what is stopping you, Nux Leander."
She was prepared.
The duel and everything could all be thrown to the future them, the current them were supposed to enjoy.
The couple shared the feeling, however…
"You did well."
Suddenly, Astaria heard a voice.
She turned around and her eyes finally fell on her Master and the Vampire.
She bowed her head,
"Master."
Vyriana smiled.
Seeing that smile, Astaria quickly realized what her Master wanted.
She had no plans to wait for them to et, have sex, recover, and then have the battle. Since Vyriana was here, a break wasn't an option.
Astaria sighed, then, with a defeated look on her face, she glanced at Nux.
Nux understood what his wife wanted and nodded with a smile on his face.
Honestly, the strange power he could sense from Astaria, he was curious about it as well, he wanted to know just how strong his wife had beco and…
Could she possibly defeat him?
"Are you prepared for our duel?" Nux questioned out loud.
"I am."
Astaria nodded.
By now, Nux's other wives, excluding Ember and Evane had appeared in the area as well. None of them were planning on missing this battle, heck, Nux could even sense so Divine Stage Cultivators keeping an eye on the situation, however,
Knowing Vyriana's personality, he knew the Dragon would deal with them soon enough, so he decided to ignore them, not to ntion Aeliana, who is supposed to be stronger than Vyriana was here as well.
With her presence, there was nothing he had to worry about.
"Where should we fight?" Nux questioned.
Astaria quickly took out an Artifact out of her Storage ring, then, she disappeared. Nux followed her into the Battle Dinsion as well.
The rest followed and this ti, Nux could sense any Divines keeping an eye on them, seeing the Dragon snort, he could tell that the woman had made a move.
'I pity them.'
Nux couldn't help but sigh in his head.
"Nux."
Suddenly, Astaria called out.
Nux turned towards his wife and as the woman took out her sword, her 'self' changed,
"Do not hold back."
Her voice echoed throughout the Battle Dinsion.
In an instant, Nux's face turned solemn, he could sense it…
The woman in front of him…
She was definitely stronger than Arcturus without his Law of Self.
Astaria was strong.
Ridiculously strong.
Just like she said, he couldn't hold back in this situation.
"Then be prepared, Astaria Leander."
Nux spoke with a big smile on his face as he then stepped back, his body, however, didn't move, or more precisely, as he stepped back, another Nux appeared in his position.
Finding which was the real Nux out of the two was…
Well, close to impossible.
And of course, Nux wasn't planning on making it any easier.
Two Nux beca Four, Four beca Eight, and soon, there were around 20 Nuxs standing in front of Astaria with playful smiles on his face.
Just like Astaria told her, Nux was going all out from the beginning.
It was the sa plan he used against Arcturus when he fought the Dragon in front of everyone, since finding his real self was close to impossible, his clones would continue to fight the enemy, even if the enemy was strong, his clones would simply start adapting to it before finally becoming stronger than the enemy.
All this while, Nux's real body would be hidden from all eyes, impossible to find even if Vyriana herself took action.
The battle ended before it even started.
Even if Astaria destroyed the Clones, they would simply generate more Clones, eventually, the Clones would overpower her and she would lose.
It was an unmatched strategy that couldn't possibly be defeated,
Or… that was what Nux thought.
Vyriana, who knew what he was doing, however, just chuckled,
"How childish."
She muttered.
Then suddenly, Astaria took out her sword and pointed at Nux's clones who were rushing towards her.
Obviously, since the number of clones was high, they did not inherit much of Nux's real strength, Nux's plan was to use the Adaptability to overpower her,
But suddenly,
*Slash*
Astaria's sword moved, cutting one of Nux's clones in two parts, and suddenly,
"Khhwaakkk!!"
Nux's real body, which was sitting behind Riona and Amaya, coughed out blood as he fell on his knees.
His eyes widened in horror.
