leave.
'See? This is where you are wrong.
This was never about my life,'
Ember spoke with a light chuckle, and before Kaelith could understand the aning behind her words and counter-question, he heard another voice.
'I do not like when other n get too close to my wives.
Leave!
"W-What? Who is there!?'
He shouted, looking around with a frown on his face.
He was in what was called the Shadow Realm. Not many beings in this universe could access such a realm, and the Dreadborn's unique ability, Shadow Walk, allowed them to access this realm.
A realm that exists beneath every being's shadow.
Within this woman's shadow, no voice but his and hers should exist unless...
There is another being in here who is capable of accessing the Shadow Realm. Suddenly, Kaelith's expression changed as he realized sothing.
While it was surprising that this woman was able to maintain her calm despite knowing who he was, what should be even more surprising was the fact that this woman was able to talk back to him.
Even if it was her shadow they were in, to be able to talk back would an that this wasn't the first ti soone had entered the shadow, and if that was indeed the
case...
Then Kaelith's theory was correct.
There was soone else in here.
"Who are you?"
He questioned, his voice much more careful and solemn than before.
The issue wasn't that there was soone else able to access the Shadow Realm beside him. In this vast universe, he wasn't foolish enough to think that only the Dreadborns could access this realm. If that was the case, the higher-level worlds would have their eyes on them.
Kaelith was one of the Leaders of Tandris, closely connected to Tandris's Will. Every ti any otherworldly force entered Tandris, Tandris's Will always inford him and
And right now, in the place Ember was standing, according to Tandris's Will, there should only be one woman.
Tandris's Will couldn't sense whoever this being was, and this is what alard Kaelith. Being able to fool a world's Will-he never thought it was possible. If this person could pull it off, then it ant that he wasn't a simple being.
He needed to be careful; one mistake here from his side could lead to a catastrophe. 'Did you not hear? I am her husband.
You are in my wife's shadow, and I do not like it.
However, since I am a magnanimous person, I will give you one last chance. Leave!'
Nux warned again.
This was his wives' show; he didn't want to interrupt it.
Watching his wives shine on the battlefield as they crushed their enemies felt exhilarating. It was a proud mont for him, and he didn't want to interrupt it by involving himself in the matter.
Right now, Nux actually wanted the man to leave, return to his allies like nothing happened, and continue the war.
The Primordials should face the Primordials while his Ember led Velcrian soldiers to absolute victory.
That was the ideal outco of this mission from his perspective. Sothing that shouldn't be very hard to achieve...
But...
Suddenly,
'Hch.
Kaelith laughed.
'I was almost fooled by you!
And the instant Nux heard his words, he had the urge to facepalm.
'Why does nothing ever go like you want it to?
Is soone purposefully making things difficult for ?"
He thought as he looked around, trying to find that sadistic bastard.
He, however, wasn't given too much ti to think about it. Kaelith continued,
'You are brave, child. I will give you that..
However, you have shown sothing I cannot ignore,
So I apologize for not leaving.
I will be staying in your wife's shadow until you answer all my questions.
Yes, Kaelith had it all wrong.
The man's logic was simple: if the person he was talking to was as strong as he thought, why would he bother wasting his ti giving pointless warnings to him? Why would his wives, who should be living lives of luxury, act as re rcenaries, risking their lives?
Kaelith was sure that he had overestimated this man's strength. Heck, this man might. even be weaker than these won. After all, he still hasn't co out even though his wives are risking their lives out on the battlefield.
As for being able to hide from Tandris's Will, Kaelith was sure this man must be using so artifact. An artifact that would love to be in his personal treasury than belong to this man who hides behind his won.
You are a coward!
Kaelith lashed out, and while he was at it, he went a step further,
'You should be ashad of yourself.
You do not deserve to have these excellent won around you, especially her!
Kaelith's voice then turned nacing and,
"These won deserve a better partner, soone who knows how to take care of
them, soone like m-'
'I changed my mind. Before Kaelith could complete, he heard the man's voice again.
Then suddenly, in the Shadow Realm where nothing but darkness could be seen,
Kaelith saw two golden eyes staring at him.
'You aren't leaving!
That was it.
That was how far Nux's patience could bring him.
After this, it was only wrath.
'Make this as entertaining as you can, I should at least get this much since I allowed
this guy to enter my shadow, no?"
Ember spoke, and Nux nodded with a smile on his face.
17-1
Your loyal subordinate will make sure you are thoroughly entertained!
Nux answered, and suddenly, Kaclith felt his entire body being grabbed by an
unknown force. His eyes widened in horror as he tried to leave. However,
'Did you not hear what I said? I said you cannot leave!
YOU BASTARD!'
Kaelith scread in anger as he released all his Aura, trying to suppress the being in
front of him. The being, however, simply waved his hand, dismissing his Aura as if it
didn't exist.
"This might be a bit painful. I do sincerely apologize in advance!
Nux smiled,
And with this,
Kaelith's nightmare began.
