'What the hell is happening!?'
Astaria's eyes widened in surprise.
She didn't know what was happening.
Nux's speed had suddenly increased to a monstrous degree.
She was sure Nux wasn't using Mana to do anything.
He doesn't even know how to do that. Not even he can break the boundary between an Emperor and a King Stage.
He was using a strange technique.
A technique he has never shown before.
Astaria didn't know how to react, she had already used up her Mana and unlike normal Emperors, who have to compensate their attack powers to increase their speed. Nux's attack power was still the sa as before.
Suddenly, Astaria narrowed her eyes.
She noticed that Nux's attack speed was similar to what it was before.
It was as if… the recent increase in his speed was just her imagination.
It didn't even last a second.
*Clang* *Clang* *Clang*
However, the problem was still not solved.
She was again in the sa position of being attacked by Nux's two swords without any rest.
And this ti, her position was disadvantageous because she was out of Mana.
Now she had to wait and continue to defend Nux's attack till the Mana Potion she had drank works and she regains so of her Mana.
Nux understood the problem as well.
Astaria was still defending all his attacks, if this continued, things would go back to the first stage again.
And he was not ready for another round of beating.
A wry smile appeared on Nux's face.
'After all this, I still can't defeat her.'
He glanced at Astaria who continued to defend his attacks and shook his head inwardly, then, a determined look appeared on his face and,
'I won't lose this battle.'
Then, Nux disappeared.
Astaria frowned.
She glanced towards his won again, however, this ti, Nux was not there either.
She realized.
He was using his ultimate technique.
A wry smile on her face.
This was not a technique one could defend against.
And this bastard chose the absolutely worse ti to use it since she didn't have most of her Mana to defend herself.
However, just as Nux now knew her technique, she knew how Nux's technique worked as well.
She quickly used whatever Mana she had to protect her vital points like heart and brain and then, she blinked.
Nux quickly appeared beside her, she tried to defend, but again, it was absolutely impossible to defend against soone who literally appeared right next to you, ready with his attack.
However, unlike how Astaria had expected, Nux didn't attack her heart or brain, he aid behind her neck.
The sword touched her neck, the vibration was released.
Astaria's eyes widened and then, her vision blackened.
She could feel her entire body freezing up.
She was about to pass out.
*Pierce*
With her remaining strength, she pierced her sword into the ground.
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Nux's pale face.
"Kkhaaawk!"
He coughed out blood.
"Heh… I… did not lose…"
Astaria comnted weakly.
She had shifted all her weight on her sword, even if she passes out, she would not fall on the ground.
Seeing this, Nux just smiled wryly and…
He passed out.
A satisfied smile appeared on Astaria's face, knowing that Nux had passed out, she stopped resisting and closed her eyes.
She passed out as well.
The two warriors lost their consciousness, Nux's wives and the others quickly rushed towards them and seeing the scene where Nux had fallen on the ground, while Astaria was holding her sword, but had passed out as well, they didn't know what to say.
They walked towards them and quickly noticed small purple-colored spikes ford around them.
"He must have created these, hoping Astaria would fall and get attacked by these. It's quite vicious."
Ember comnted.
Thyra had a smile on her face as well.
"She is on a whole different level though," Felberta comnted as she glanced at Astaria.
"To remain standing even after passing out… I don't even know what to say…" Allura comnted as well.
The other won nodded.
General Phorus, Iria, and Winston, on the other hand, couldn't help but glance at Nux, who was being carried by Lane, and couldn't help but be shocked.
This man fought against the strongest being in this world and the fight ended with a draw.
What does that an?
It ant that he was now the strongest being in the world, standing right beside Astaria.
A man who is less than 50 years old is on par with the strongest human in the world and he is still not an Emperor yet.
Just what would happen when he actually grows and beco an Emperor?
What type of absolute monster would he be?
The more they thought about it, the more they look forward to it.
"Anyways, let's take them to their rooms."
Evane gave an order.
Ember nodded, Lane had already picked Nux, she was the first one to rush forward and tend to him.
Felberta walked forward and after placing Astaria's sword into her Storage ring, she carried Astaria as well.
"Heh, I can't believe I am carrying the strongest human in the world in my arms."
Astaria laughed.
The other won smiled as well.
"I could have never imagined it a few months ago." Felberta chuckled.
"Hahaha~ That's right, I couldn't have imagined it either." Skyla laughed out loud as well.
"…"
Lane didn't say anything and just looked at Nux who was lying in her arms.
His face was still a little disfigured, however, it didn't matter to Lane at all. She just continued to look at his face and smiled inwardly.
"Tsk." Thyra snorted as she glanced at Lane.
Lane, of course, completely ignored her.
Evane just sighed.
She needed to act like a queen since her subjects were still here.
She glanced at Phorus and the others and ordered,
"Alright, you all tend to whatever you have to tend to. We will take them to their room."
"As you command, Queen Evane."
The three of them walked away obediently, after her recent achievents, Evane's status has risen up to a degree where nobody dared to defy her orders in the Royal Palace.
Her influence has already far surpassed Ricardus.
She now held absolute power in the Royal Palace.
