"Kkhhwaaakk!!"
Nux, who just walked into the room provided to him, coughed out blood as he kneeled on the floor.
His face looked unusually pale, his arms were trembling nonstop, his breathing was rigged, his condition looked bad.
Nux continued to take deep breaths, then, he shifted his body and dragged himself towards the nearest wall. Then, with his back supported by the wall, he leaned back, closed his eyes, and started taking deep breaths.
His trembling arms started calming down, however, his face was still as pale as before.
"Nux!"
A few seconds later, Nux's won rushed into the room, Lane quickly rushed towards him and crouched next to him. The others surrounded him as well.
"You said it wasn't that bad," Amaya spoke as she narrowed her eyes.
"It got worse…"
Nux replied without opening his eyes.
Lane then picked him up and placed him on the bed.
The won all sat around him, Lane grabbed Nux's right hand which was trembling the most, and started rubbing it gently.
"How did it get worse?"
Felberta, who was rubbing his right hand questioned.
'I used Mana to sense if Orpheus and Ambrosia were still near us when Lazarus walked towards .'
Nux replied using the Telepathy link. He didn't have enough energy to open his mouth.
'You are not allowed to use [Blink Fault] now.'
Amaya spoke in a strict tone. She wasn't looking for a no as an answer.
'…'
Nux didn't say anything.
Yes, his current condition was because of using [Blink Fault].
Well, it was not because he was using [Blink Fault], but because he was abusing it.
The [Blink Fault] was the ability that allowed him to 'disappear' by taking him to a different 'dinsion', and then once the opponent blinks, it allows him to appear next to him and unleash an attack with absolute damage using 'vibrations'.
Even Divine Stage Cultivators wouldn't be able to sense this 'another' dinsion, making it a perfect ability for a sneak attack. Honestly, this ability was absurdly strong for a 7-Star Ability, however, it had its downsides as well.
Self-Harm, was one of them.
At first, Nux thought it was just the recoil of using Vibrations, however, as he used this ability more and more, he realized things were not that simple.
His body was stronger than before, therefore, the recoil of those Vibrations was not a problem. However, staying inside the other 'Dinsion' for too long was.
Nux always wondered,
If he faces any strong opponent, then what if he never cos out of the Dinsion at all? Wouldn't that make him undefeatable?
However, it was only after trying it out, did he realize that staying inside that Dinsion was harmful for his body.
The Dinsion and the Vibrations that he uses to attack, the two of them are connected to each other.
Nux doesn't exactly knows how it works, however, he does know that if he stays inside that Dinsion for a long ti, the vibrations, which should be moving to his sword to prepare for the attack, would start moving into his body, and after so ti, it would start damaging his body.
And since the harm caused by vibrations was absolute, these damages cannot be healed by Healing Potions, or his [Regeneration]. It could only be healed with ti.
In conclusion,
Going inside that dinsion equals bad.
And in his fight, he walked into that dinsion 2 tis and the second ti was for more than a minute.
Nux being able to hold out for so long was already good, however, the mont he used Mana to sense Orpheus and Ambrosia, the Mana reacted to his already weakened muscles, things took a bad turn and his condition worsened.
"What happened to him?"
Suddenly, lia, who just walked into Nux's room and questioned with a frown on her face.
"What? Did you think fighting against a Great Sage is that simple?"
Amaya smiled.
"It happened because of our fight?"
lia questioned.
"Of course, he gave his all in that fight, after all."
"He looked fine before though." lia couldn't understand.
"Well, he still had so things to finish," Amaya replied.
"That deal." lia realized it.
"He was planning to do that before my brother even asked what he wanted."
Amaya just smiled.
"I don't get it.
He is strong, we are strong, why do we need to depend on others to establish our clan?" lia questioned with a frown on her face.
"lia, I know what you are thinking, you not wanting the help from your family is sothing I can sowhat relate to as well. Wanting to stand on your own feet is not a bad thinking, however, what we are going to face in the future is unpredictable.
In the real world, no one would co after you expecting a fair fight, they would all attack only when they know you are weak.
The straight trees are cut first.
If we do everything by the rules, we will be those straight trees.
And we don't plan on getting cut, we will be the best there is, the strongest in the world, and for that,
We need to use whatever advantages we have to push things in our own favor. We need to create allies where we can, because, in this journey, it is certain that the number of enemies we will be making won't be small."
Amaya explained as her eyes shined in determination.
lia looked into Amaya's eyes, and after thinking for a while, she glanced at Nux and questioned,
"When will he recover?"
Hearing that question, Amaya smiled.
It was lia's way of saying that she decided to let it go. She was ready to use what she had to her advantage, in the journey to be the best, she had to learn that.
"He should be fine in a week."
Amaya replied with a small smile on her face.
"A week huh?
I guess it is enough ti for us to get acquainted with each other."
lia smiled.
"I am looking forward to that, Sister lia."
Amaya smiled.
