chapter-1053
1053 We are surrounded by enemies.
"I will return again, and next time, I will bring back something of equal value and we will exchange some of our secrets,
I would love it if you were up to that and overlooked what I did today."
Lyriana questioned.
"O-Of course!"Nux stuttered.
He couldn't believe that the Ice Queen, one of the strongest beings in the world when the Order was not involved just bowed her head in front of him.
Lyriana, on the other hand, just smiled as she turned around and walked away.
However, just as she opened the door and was about to leave, she looked at Nux again and,
"And you don't have to worry, you won't be seeing me as an enemy, and I won't be revealing your secret to the Dragon Lord either, considering that your beloved mother-in-law also does the same, so for now, you are currently safe.
Not that you seem to care about it.
You sound quite confident when it comes to going against the 'Incomplete' Divine Stage Cultivators.Anyways, I will be taking my leave now, Nux Leander."
Saying those words, Lyriana finally left. Her expressionless tone was similar to Orpheus's, Nux however, didn't have the time to compare. Lyriana was angry, or that was what he understood.
Lyriana's tone didn't help either.
Of course, Nux was prepared to face the consequences when he said those words, however, with Lyriana apologizing from the front, it sent Nux off his game.
He couldn't tell whether Lyriana was an enemy or a friend.
"What happened?" Suddenly, Ambrosia questioned.
This was the one time she had seen Nux snap out like he did, Nux usually gave off a vibe of a calm, playful man, today, however, he seemed different.
Not only when he snapped at Lyriana, but even before that.
Something was different about him. Ambrosia couldn't point a finger at it, but,
Nux seemed... more on edge...?
"Well, that was surprising," Nux commented.
"I didn't think she would apologize like that, I guess I shouldn't hold it against her either. What do you say, Mother-in-law? I heard she is your close friend, I think your opinion would be valuable."
Nux turned towards Ambrosia.
Ambrosia, however, wasn't someone who would fall for Nux's games.
"You didn't answer my question, Nux. What happened?" "What do you mean? You saw exactly what happened."
"I am not talking about that, I am asking what happened to you.
Why do you seem different than before?"
"Could it be because I broke through?" Nux tilted his head with a frown. It was as if he couldn't understand what
Ambrosia was talking about.
"One's attitude doesn't change when one breaks through, Nux. Especially when it is someone as talented as you, for you, breaking through the Semi Saint Stage was only a matter of time.
Now stop beating around the bush and tell me what happened, I might be able to help you, you know?"
"But there is nothing I want your help in, Mother-in-law." Nux's answer was clear.
Ambrosia narrowed her eyes
She honestly wanted to Charm to understand the situation, however, she knew it would be crossing the line, in the end, she just
closed her eyes and nodded with a sigh.
"If it is as you say, then I won't bother you anymore." Saying those words, Ambrosia turned around.
"You are leaving?" Nux questioned with a surprised look on his face.
"Well I still feel you are hiding something from me, but it could be just me being strange, anyway, one of us is not in the correct state of mind, so I believe it would be better to leave and return when things get better.
Tell Melia that I came by, will you?"
"You won't be meeting Melia either..."
"I have a feeling that it would be for the best if I leave you guys alone for now and return at a later time.
I think I visited you at the wrong time."
Saying those words, Ambrosia left as well.
As the two women left, Nux narrowed his eyes.
"What happened?' Suddenly, Nux heard Amaya's voice. She was asking the same thing Ambrosia asked, this time, however, Nux wasn't planning on hiding anything.
"We are surrounded by enemies!
Nux replied with a solemn look on his face.
'Enemies?' Amaya frowned. She couldn't sense anyone, let alone her, even Lady Ambrosia and Lady Lyriana could sense any presence and simply left.
What was Nux talking about?
Amaya wondered.
Nux then continued.
'Vulpiana knew who I was. She knew I could turn into an Incubus, I am not sure if she knows about me being able to turn into a Vampire, however, just the fact that she knows about me and my secret is worrisome.
'I understand that this is worrisome, but how is that related to how you acted around Lady Lyriana and Lady Ambrosia?
I don't think I need to speak it out for you, but you were quite rude, although I understand Lady Lyriana wasn't in the right either, in the end, she didn't come here to fight you, what you did back then could have given us a ridiculously strong enemy with a ridiculously strong backing.
That is not how you normally do things.'
"Think about it.
Vulpiana wasn't related to the Ancestral Order, Lady Vyriana made it clear when I asked her about it,
Vulpiana's relation with the Order is similar to just any of the Seven Heroes, she shouldn't know something that only Lady Vyriana knew.
That means her source of information was different than Lady Vyriana's.
Think about how many people know about the secrets Vulpiana knew.
Nux spoke and suddenly, Amaya's expression changed, she finally realized what Nux was thinking.
You are suspecting Lady Ambrosia...'
'...' Nux didn't deny her words.
Amaya couldn't believe it.
'But what if Vulpiana or someone from Vulpiana's faction interrogated those two judges?'
'The two of them signed the Silence Contract.'
'Not like it worked before, did it?'
'You think people with the same status as Lady Vyriana could be found at random?'
'There is always a possibility of Vulpiana's source of information being one of those people, can it not?'
'Well, let's just hope that is the case.'
Nux nodded, his expression still as solemn as before.
"..."
Amaya didn't know what to say.
She couldn't believe Nux was suspecting his own Mother- in-law, however, thinking about it, it did make some sense as well.
They have met quite a lot of people in these past few years, people who were much stronger than them, people who have helped them, and people they trusted.
However, every coin had two faces,
Trust wasn't something that could be earned in a matter of years, especially when the beings here have lived for thousands of years, it may not be Lady Ambrosia in general, it could be anyone, heck, it could even be just them overthinking about all this,
However, one thing was clear,
They needed to be careful.
'I hope the day where Melia has to choose doesn't come.'Amaya commented.
Thinking about his wife, Nux's expression softened, he knew how much Melia valued her family, he knew she wouldn't like it if she learned what he was thinking about.
That was the reason he wasn't revealing his thoughts in front of her.
Yes he was keeping a secret from his wife
Something he didn't like, however, right now, he was out of options, revealing everything in front of his wives wasn't always the best option either.
Especially in this case where speaking his thoughts would be akin to forcing his wife to choose between him and her family.
A difficult choice that Nux didn't want his wife to make, especially when all of this was nothing but his suspicions.
Right now, he needed to investigate this matter on his own.
How was he going to do it?
Nux didn't know. Although he did have a vague plan in his head, right now, most of his brain was busy thinking about just one thing.
'Anyways, I will be leaving now.'
'Where?" Amaya questioned.
'Waranal. Nux replied.
Unlike [Core], Waranal had Mana, which meant Waranal was a true place where the time flow was valid even though it was different from Yrniel. 2 weeks in Yrniel was a year in Waranal.
And that was all he needed.
One year till his System is updated, he could spend that year in Waranal and using the time difference he could return to his wives in just 2 weeks and...
Hehehe~
Thinking about it, a perverted smile appeared on Nux's face, then, he activated his artifact and disappeared.
Back in the plains, Nux glanced at his surroundings, his eyes falling on some 11-star beasts, his frustration kicked in,
Everything that had been bothering him all this while, he recalled all that, and then,
He rushed towards those poor beasts.
He had to spend a year in this darned place.
As annoying as it was, this was something he had to do. There was no point thinking about it, with these thoughts in his mind,
Nux took out his swords and,
The slaughter started.
*Slash* *Slash* *Slash* *Slash*
Nux roamed around in the wilderness, hunting beasts like a madman who couldn't feel anything anymore, leaving mountains of dead bodies on his path, he was desperate, he hadn't touched his wives for more than 50 years, half of his reasons for snapping at Lyriana was because how annoyed he was.
He was suffering from a lethal disease called Sex Deprivation.
In his frustration, Nux continued, time passed, and soon, he saw the message he had been waiting for this whole time,
[Time Left: 69 Seconds]
