Chapter 650 Who Told You That L Was Using Mana?
"…"
Nawdren glanced at Nux with an unsure look on his face,
"How did you become an Emperor Stage Cultivator so quickly? I clearly remember that you were only an early King Stage Cultivator before."
He questioned.
"Huh? You thought I was only an early King Stage Cultivator?"
Nux questioned with a smile on his face.
"…you were incomparably stronger than a normal King Stage Cultivator, I agree. But I trust my senses, you were only an early King Stage Cultivator."
Nawdren didn\'t back down.
"Uh huh. An early King Stage Cultivator who fought against a Pseudo Sage.
Your senses sure are trustworthy."
Nux chuckled.
"…"
Nawdren turned silent…
Nux wasn\'t wrong…
In front of a strange monster like him, he shouldn\'t trust his senses.
He must be a peak King Stage Cultivator before.
It doesn\'t make sense for an Early King Stage Cultivator to be this strong.
Of course, even a peak King Stage Cultivator shouldn\'t be that strong, but it is definitely much more believable.
It also explains how this bastard became an Emperor so quickly.
However, Nawdren wondered.
This man fought and even defeated an Emperor when he was merely a King Stage Cultivator. He is an anomaly…
And now that this anomaly has become an Emperor Stage Cultivator… How strong would he be?
"Are you sure you wish to fight me right now? You must have used a lot of your Mana while you were testing your speed." Nawdren spoke.
"Don\'t ask useless questions, just attack."
"I can attack without holding back, right?"
Nawdren questioned as he glanced at Riona.
"Oh?"
A big smile appeared on Nux\'s face as he realized what Nawdren was thinking.
"How about this.
If you manage to somehow kill me, your contract will be released.
Of course, I won\'t use my Mist for this battle."
Nux challenged.
Astaria and Nux\'s other wives, who were watching this play out narrowed their eyes.
They could sense Nux\'s confidence.
Well, it made sense.
Nux refused to fight against Astaria, there must be a reason for that.
Nawdren, however, didn\'t care about all that. His expression changed and he questioned with a serious look on his face.
"Are you serious?"
All this while, this spar meant nothing to him.
There was nothing to gain, after all.
But now, things have changed.
"One Hundred Percent" Nux replied.
Nawdren turned towards Riona.
"I will follow whatever he wishes."
Riona replied.
"Then to make it fair, how about you give me my Combat Gear as well?" Nawdren questioned with a smile on his face.
"Don\'t bite more than you ca-" Riona was about to reply but,
*Thud* *Thud*
Nux threw Nawdren\'s white Armor and Sword toward him.
"Here."
Nux replied.
A frown appeared on Riona\'s face.
She didn\'t think it was a good idea.
She turned and glanced at Nux\'s wives and seeing their expressions, she realized that she wasn\'t alone.
Astaria, Amaya, Ember, Thyra, Evane… every woman had similar expressions on their faces.
Seeing his sword and armor in front of him, Nawdren\'s smile widened, he quickly grabbed his combat gear and wore it,
"You are brave, I will give you that."
Nawdren spoke as he glanced at Nux.
"…" Nux didn\'t reply.
"But,"
Suddenly, Nawdren disappeared,
"You are the sharpest tool in the shed."
Saying those words, he appeared right behind Nux and slashed his sword, aiming to behead him in one move,
However,
Nux simply grabbed his sword with his thumb and index finger.
"!!!"
Nawdren\'s eyes widened in horror.
He wasn\'t alone.
Nux\'s women, especially Astaria had a similar expression on her face.
Nux\'s move…
It was similar to Roone\'s.
Using one\'s own Mana to increase his body movement speed.
Something that gave Roone the confidence to fight against the strongest…
Something that shouldn\'t be achievable without decades, or even centuries of practice.
Of course, Nux\'s technique wasn\'t exactly like Roone\'s. Astaria could sense that something was different.
She couldn\'t point out what the difference was, but there was definitely something.
A smile appeared on Nux\'s face as he freed Nawdren\'s sword,
"You can do better than this, can\'t you?
This is your chance to get to the freedom you wanted so desperately."
Nawdren came out of his reverie, he quickly pulled his sword and jumped back.
With a solemn look on his face, he activated his own Mana and rushed towards Nux again.
Slashing his sword in speed impossible to follow through.
Nawdren\'s speed plus the strength of that sword, it was a deadly combination.
If even a single attack connects, it will lead to a fatal blow, however,
Nux was dodging these seemingly impossible-to-follow attacks as if he was fighting against a toddler.
Heck, he was even yawning while doing all this.
And Nawdren didn\'t like that one bit.
"You bastard! How long do you think your Mana will hold on for!?"
He shouted in anger and irritation.
"The moment you run out of Mana will be the moment you die!
I\'ll make you regret looking down on me!"
The women\'s expression turned solemn.
Especially Riona, who was about to use the power of contract to stop Nawdren. However, before she could do anything, Amaya grabbed her hand.
Riona glanced at Amaya and she shook her head.
Riona frowned, Amaya then pointed at Nux, Riona glanced at the battlefield, then, her eyes fell on Nux.
In front of Nawdren\'s outbreak, he was standing calmly, with a small smile on his face, and continued to dodge his attacks.
Then, he grabbed Nawdren\'s sword with his fingers again, and then, he questioned,
"Who told you that I was using Mana?"
"…huh?"
Nawdren\'s expression changed.
Nux then pulled Nawdren\'s sword, forcing Nawdren to get closer, then, he grabbed his hand and,
*Bam*
*Crack*
"Khhooocckkk!!!"
He punched his abdomen.
A single punch broke that absurdly strong armor, the impact still didn\'t vanish and broke Nawdren\'s ribs.
*Cough*
Nawdren coughed out blood.
Seeing that big hole in the armor he was so proud of…
His worldview collapsed.
Nux, however, was about to give him another big shock.
"Trust me, be it traveling from the Skadi Kingdom to here, or while fighting this entire battle,
I haven\'t used any Mana at all."
