BOOOM
Silence spread all over the battlefield.
The Wraiths, who saw what had just happened, turned towards each other.
These Wraiths couldn't speak, heck, they didn't even have mouths. All this while, and even in the recording, they rely stared at their opponent, not letting even the slightest sound out, even when they were killed. Right now, however, what they wanted to express was clear as day.
Surprise.
Utter surprise.
The thousand Wraiths that encircled Nux and sent one of their own to fight a fair battle were honestly waiting for that Wraith to win and solve the problem.
After all, it would have been a fair fight.
A fight where the opponent, who had the sa cultivation level as them, was forced to engage in a one-on-one battle since his partner was far away.
It was a battle they could never lose.
After all, at the sa level, they were supposed to be invincible.
So...
How...
How did what happened... happen?
The thousand Wraiths, who saw their ally die right in front of them, and that too, in such a bizarre manner, stared at each other, not knowing what to do.
Were they supposed to fight this man together?
But that would be unfair. It would go against their honor.
Then should they send another Wraith?
But all their strengths were equal. Wouldn't the result be the sa?
Or was what the opponent used a one-ti ability that couldn't be used again?
Yes, this could indeed be the case.
Coming to this conclusion, the Wraiths made a decision unanimously, and another Wraith stepped forward, walking towards Nux.
"So you are still going to continue playing fair, eh..."
Nux muttered.
It was a good thing for him. The more ti he spent in this place, the easier it would be for him to adapt.
Nux stared at the opponent in front of him. Unlike the last one, it didn't wait for him to attack. It instantly rushed towards him, preparing to attack.
The Death Energy moved around it in a familiar manner. It was an attack Nux had seen before- Soul Severance.
It was an ability Nux was extrely curious about.
Right now, however, he couldn't let the Wraith hit him with this ability. Matters regarding souls were extrely complicated. Even he didn't know if he could survive being struck by this attack.
Therefore, not wanting to take any risks, Nux quickly disappeared, and with his superior speed, before the attacking Wraith could land its strike, he appeared in front of it and-
BOOOM
Another Wraith was obliterated.
Once again, as Nux stood in the middle of the Wraiths' encirclent, a comical scene where the Wraiths looked at each other unfolded.
Nux observed these beings with interest as well.
He could tell that these beings lacked intelligence.
They had the intelligence of a ten-year-old, slightly above that of a World's or the Universe's intelligence.
If Nux had to rank it:
Wraiths had the highest intelligence, the intelligence of a ten-year-old.
Worlds had the intelligence of a five-year-old.
As for the Universe, it had the intelligence of a newborn, or even less, perhaps. It was barely sentient, honestly. It just... reacted... to certain things and was quite easy to manipulate.
Coming back to the main topic, these Wraiths were like ten-year-old children, beings who had ford a rigid perception.
The "rules" of their battles, which pushed them to ensure fair combat despite having a clear advantage, didn't stem from sothing like the honor of a warrior.
While Nux did consider it to be the soul's last remaining wish, out of 90,000 Souls Umbrasol had, most of them belonged to rcenaries, 'fighting fair was the last thing they thought about, to rcenaries, ans didn't matter as long as they win. Thinking that their souls would want a fair fight was foolish. It didn't make sense. Nux highly doubted all those souls wished to have a "fair" battle.
Whatever it was, it had sothing to do with Umbrasol, the creator of these beings.
This made Nux curious as to how long these beings would stick to the concept of a "fair battle."
For now, however, it seed that the Wraiths had still decided to adhere to the concept of fairness, as they sent another Wraith forward.
This ti, however, unlike the last one who had decided to attack him, this Wraith ca prepared with a barrier that protected it from Nux's attack.
Another familiar ability-
Deathward.
An ability that absorbed every attack thrown at the user, turning the energy into Death Energy and strengthening the caster.
It was akin to an absolute shield.
The problem, however, was that Nux wasn't using any sort of ability the Deathward could absorb. His attacks were pure physical strength.
And against the strength that could kill thousands of Divines in one blow, Deathward, just like many other shields, could only be destroyed together with the Wraith who used it.
BOOOM
The Wraith t the sa ending.
The next Wraith sent to face Nux instantly disappeared, it was Death Veil.
This ti, the Wraith used the abilities of an assassin, trying to hide and attack him, but...
This wasn't going to work either.
Fooling Nux's senses was simply impossible, no matter how powerful the ability.
Nux's eyes were special. Honestly, after absorbing all the worlds and the way he now perceived energy around him, he didn't even need Essence or [Sense] to locate his enemies anymore.
He could see them with his naked eyes alone.
So the instant the Wraith, who had used Death Veil, appeared next to him, ready to attack-
BOOOM
It was attacked instead and-
Another one was obliterated.
It didn't end here.
The Wraiths that ca next used every ability they could, showcasing just how versatile Death
Energy truly was.
Casting Illusions of Death to gain a psychological advantage in battles, sending Death Energy Waves to erode Nux's life force, using Necromancy, or Death Embrace, wrapping themselves in Death Energy to make it difficult for Nux to approach them-and many more.
They tried everything they could, but in the end...
The result was the sa.
BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM
