1257 What if I say you do have a choice?
"Hope that you do not meet him.
Because if there comes a time when he is awake and is interacting with others, It would imply that Yrniel is in danger."
Faustina spoke with a solemn look on her face. Nux and Vyriana stared at each other and didn't say anything. The topic was simply to grave for them to pass a comment on.
A strange silence fell over the place until finally,
"COME OUT YOU BASTARD!!"
A shout was heard.
It was Arcturus.
The man had finally understood that killing all these clones would achieve nothing. No matter how many times he killed, after a certain time, he would realize that the number of clones had not reduced and all his past work had all been for naught.
He was faster and stronger, yes, however, the advantage he had didn't mean anything because he couldn't even find his real opponent.
Not to mention...
"Father... why are you shouting...? Shouldn't you be killing the man who killed me...?"
"Father... could it be that you are unable to kill him?"
"Father... why are you killing me... I am not your enemy..."
Nux still hadn't stopped this sadistic game, his clones still looked like Vedier and even though everyone in the arena, including Arcturus knew that this was merely a trick Nux was using to get into his head, being surrounded by his 'son' begging him to avenge hid death was getting more and more frustrating.
Arcturus was getting mentally exhausting and in the end, with his eyes bloodshot, He rushed towards Amaya and,
"NUX YOU BASTARD!!
If you dare not fight me, then don't think your wives are getting out of this place alive!!!"
He shouted as he quickly appeared next to Amaya, ready to grab her by her neck and threaten Nux, but just before he could reach Amaya, "...huh?"
Arcturus froze.
His body couldn't move.
Step Step
The Elven Queen stepped forward, looking right into Arcturus's eyes.
The Dragon Lord's eyes were bloodshot.
"Lyriana!!"
He shouted, furious.
"Let go of me!!"
Of course, with his Law of Self sealed, let alone Lyriana, he couldn't stand against even the weakest Divine Stage Cultivator.
Arcturus's body started moving away from Amaya on its own, he tried to exert more strength in order to regain the control over his body, however, it was all for naught.
"Lyriana!! I am telling you to let go or this will never end well for you!!" Arcturus threatened on the top of his lungs.
You may not believe it,
But if that man goes all out without the Artifact binding his Law of Self, then your 70 companions wouldn't last long, unless, of course, they are prepared to fight for their life, That would give them an advantage."
Faustina spoke and for a moment, Nux froze.
He turned towards Vyriana to confirm if what Faustina said was the truth, Vyriana simply shrugged, "Arcturus is weak."
Her statement was direct.
"But your friends are weaker."
"..."
Nux blinked in surprise. Well, it wasn't a big deal for him to make his 'companions' use their life force to get rid of this threat under control, even if he wanted to spare the elves, just the Dragon alone, fighting with their life force would be enough to face Arcturus, however, that end wouldn't be very satisfactory either.
After all, losing more than 30 subordinates for 1 enemy wasn't the ratio he would be satisfied with, it would make Arcturus look like a hero rather than the pathetic loser he wanted him to be.
"That man is strong for his level, Nux." Seeing that Nux was pondering over something, Faustina spoke up.
"The fact that you can stand up to him and defeat him at your level is already monstrous, something we, at your level, couldn't do.
Don't push yourself too hard.
Don't let your emotions get the best of you.
Neither you nor the people close to you were hurt, there is no point to of acting this way. You are doing nothing but satisfying your sadistic desires.
You are getting a chance to get rid of a troublesome enemy, don't ruin it just because you want it to be more 'satisfying'. That is foolish, especially when you are not strong enough to deal with the enemy at his full strength."
Faustina spoke and after thinking about it for a while, Nux nodded in understanding.
"I will take your lesson to heart, Lady Faustina. Thank you."
"It is my duty to help my child."
"Child huh...?
Alright, then I'll call you mother from now on.
But don't expect me to call Lord Caesar father, I don't form relationships with men."
"Hahaha~"
Faustina couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Nux on the other hand, formed a new Clone, this time, the Clone wasn't in Vedier's form, but of his own. Then suddenly, Black Mist surrounded the entire stage, blocking others' view.
Arcturus, who stared at the Clones paused, then, with a dull look on his face, he questioned, "Did you have your fun?
Are you prepared to end this now?"
Nux, however, stared right into Arcturus's eyes and,
"Are you satisfied with this end?"
"I do not wish to play any more of your games, it was a deathmatch, so end it already," Arcturus spoke.
"Wouldn't you feel wrong by dying in the hands of an opponent you could have killed if it weren't for so many people influencing the battle?"
"...as if I have a choice."
"What if I say you do have a choice?
