"Well, this is..."
Nux looked around, surrounded by more than 20,000 Divine Stage Cultivators. One had to know, these Cultivators weren't weak. If such a force appeared in Yrniel, even the Order would need to take them seriously. Every single one of them was a Complete Cultivator with a Unique Law.
Quite a lot of these Divines were even from a Middle Level World.
Honestly, this was the first ti Nux had fallen into such a situation, and his reaction
to this was...
"This seems interesting."
His smile widened.
"You are quite arrogant."
One of the rcenaries, who stood behind what seed like a rcenary Unit, spoke as he stared at Nux.
Nux looked at him and noticed sothing.
These rcenaries surrounding him... they didn't just stand wherever they wanted. The tanks and swordsn were in the front lines, ranged dealers stood far away-it was a systematic deploynt.
"I took too long to defeat all of them."
Nux realized.
The hundred rcenaries he fought before-even if he was relatively quick in taking care of them- the ti he took was enough for these rcenaries to co up with a strategy.
"Don't worry, we will not kill you."
The rcenary who spoke before spoke again.
Nux turned towards him, and the rcenary continued,
"Take this as a lesson.
Yes, you are excellent, like a bright fla, but always keep this in mind, Nux Leander:
It is the brightest fla that burns the quickest.
Don't be the brightest fla. Beco the immortal fla, the fla that doesn't stand out but survives no matter what."
These words were fitting, especially since they ca from a rcenary. After all, in a rcenary world, it is not the strongest who survives-it is those who survive who are
called stron
"Since you say that." Nux's smile widened. "I will return the favor and won't kill you all either."
"Arrogant till the end, huh.
I kind of respect that."
The rcenary chuckled. Then, he slowly raised his head and glanced at Nux.
"Please don't fall with just this.
We have prepared quite a lot."
The mont he said those words, he lowered his hand, and suddenly-
*B000000000000M*
The Aura of 20,000 Sovereign Stage Cultivators burst out, all of it rushing forward, ready to crush Nux into pieces.
The combined Aura of 20,000 Sovereigns was so suffocating and absurdly strong that even a Primordial couldn't just disregard it.
The Power in Numbers.
Sure, at a certain level, this didn't work.
But 20,000 strong Sovereigns were no joke, even for the Primordials.
As for soone who wasn't even Primordial...
The pressure was so huge that it was absolutely impossible to survive.
"That's... quite an anticlimactic end."
Soone in the crowd muttered.
"I completely forgot that you could use this thod."
"I guess the performance he had shown thus far was so dominant that we completely disregarded a Sovereign's most basic ability."
People in the arena comnted, taken aback that a being like Nux was neutralized so easily.
"I have to agree though, he was quite stron-"
Before one man could complete his sentence, he froze.
The screen he was looking at showed sothing.
It was Nux.
Who was walking forward, the smile on his face never fading away.
The man glanced at the rcenary he was talking to, and-
"Sure.
I will give you the chance to show everything you have prepared."
He said those words with a light smile on his face, but for the people all over the arena, they felt their worlds falling apart.
H-He survived...
Not just that... he looked like he was completely fine!
H-How...
Even the rcenaries prepared to face him were shaken to their cores. One of the leaders of these rcenaries, however, quickly suppressed his surprise and nodded to
himself.
"Just as I thought. You wouldn't agree to face all of us together if you didn't have a way to sohow avoid being pressured by our Aura.
Is it an artifact?
Well, it doesn't matter.
Anyways, as I said, I am glad you survived. We can finally get serious."
As the rcenary said those words, the other rcenaries raised their weapons.
All the rcenary Leaders who had surrounded Nux from all directions then raised
their hands, and at the sa ti, they shouted.
"First Force, Charge!!"
"YYEAAAHHHHH!!"
The 'First Force' roared as it rushed towards Nux.
From eight different directions, eight units with two hundred n each-tanks at the front and swordsn behind a total of sixteen hundred rcenaries rushed towards
Nux.
Nux, who was prepared to attack, suddenly heard another shout.
"Second Force, Attack!!"
The Eight rcenary Leaders ordered, and the second force, consisting of two thousand rcenaries, started firing long-range attacks, forcing Nux to dodge and making it difficult for him to move and reach the first force.
This ti, the teamwork between the rcenaries was much better than before. These people weren't trying to kill him and take all the glory. Every attack that was launched at him had a purpose, whether it was to push him back, move him to a certain place, or indirectly defend the first force.
While Nux was busy dealing with the assault from the second force, the first force reached him. From each unit, 30 tanks stepped forward, ready to defend while 30 swordsn attacked.
Every ti Nux extended his hand to grab soone's head, two tanks would jump at his hand from each direction while the target would step back and be replaced by another tank who would make sure Nux would never get to touch his head.
"Oh?"
Nux raised his eyebrow.
This was indeed much more interesting than he expected.
All this ti, he never cared about numbers, but today, he was rethinking all this. It
looked like he was learning quite a lot.
And the rcenaries weren't done yet. "Third Force, get in position!!"
As he heard a voice, he noticed beings who were supposed to be 'hidden' move. Of course, at their level, their 'stealth' didn't really work. With *Essence* combined with [Sense], and with all the training from Vyriana and Aeliana, where his body was pushed to the point where it would react to even the slightest of changes around him, it was almost impossible for beings to escape his senses. However, the rcenaries knew that already. They had seen Nux crush assassins as if their stealth didn't work. Therefore, they created a situation where Nux was stuck between eight tanks, each of whom was being supported by twenty-nine more tanks and swordsn.
Of course, even if Nux was still able to get his hands on a few tanks and swordsn and eliminated them by smashing their heads on the floor,
He still couldn't move.
Even if he was faster than all of them, they didn't even give him the space to move.
The Third Force, which consisted of 1500 assassins, moved. However, knowing that
their bodies were weak, they didn't directly attack Nux.
"Now!"
