Do you have a death wish or something?
"So you are the famous Nux Leander?
I didn't expect you to directly kill that man.
You are quite ruthless." Darain commented with a smile on his face.
"Well, I suppose a bit of hot-bloodedness is necessary, particularly if you are young.
I will excuse you for killing one of my subordinates, he was just a King Stage Cultivator anyway, there are tons of those in the market.
From what I have heard, you were a Great Sage back then, I see that just like the other Heroes you have made a breakthrough as well,
A Semi Saint huh, considering that you are a Complete Cultivator, that's quite an achievement.
I am impressed."
The man spoke.
Rather than the guard who died, he was much more interested in the man who had shaken the entire Yrniel as he married the Bloodheart's daughter and defeated the Vampire Hero.
Nux, however, was thinking about a different thing.
He glanced at Darain and questioned.
"So who is Kaelin?"
"..."
The entire room turned silent.
This man... did he just ignore Lord Darain?
Everyone turned towards Darain, worried about how he would react, and seeing how he had turned silent as well, they all gulped.
Nux, however, continued to scan the room, using [Eye of Discerning] while he was at it, then, his eyes fell on a particular white-haired man and,
"It's you."
Gulp
Kaelin gulped.
For some reason, the moment Nux's eyes fell on him, his entire body shuddered. His instincts screamed that he was in danger and that he should escape as quickly as possible, his forehead had already started sweating even though he was a Mana
cultivator who excelled in Ice Elemental Spells.Kaelin wanted to leave, soon, however, he recalled that he was not alone. Darain was here with him as well, and from the looks of it, his master seemed angry.
"Y-Yes it is me." Kaelin wanted to give a strong first impression, however, with Nux continuously staring at him, the pressure he felt increased so much that he couldn't help but stutter.
"It is surprising how a pussy like you had the guts to set your eyes on what's mine,"
Nux commented. "I don't know if I should be impressed or shocked by the sheer foolishness.
Do you perhaps not think before you act?"
"I was the one who ordered him to do it."
Suddenly, Darain spoke up.
"Huh?" Nux's expression changed as he glanced at the Vampire sitting in front of him.
"You do not seem particularly happy about it," Darain commented with a soft smile on his face.
"I can't say I am."
"And what are you going to do about it?"
Darain's smile widened.
Not only him, but Kaelin and 5 other men in the room had similar expressions on their faces as well, all of them were Great Sages and some of them were even Peak Great Sages who were about to break through to the Semi Saint stage.
"Alright, let us not stretch this conversation anymore."
Nux spoke up, then, he created two thrones using [Dark Amethyst], sat down with Riona sitting next to him, and questioned, "Why did you call us here?"
"Oh, so you are finally willing to talk?"
"I am not a very patient man, Darain.
Summarize the purpose of this meeting within the next 60 seconds or you won't like what's going to happen next."
Nux threatened, he wasn't the least bit intimidated by the oh-so-power Saint sitting in front of him.
"Hahaha~ you actually make me curious about what you are going to do after 60 seconds pass by."
Darain laughed out loud.
"You will find that out in 54 seconds."
Nux replied as he rested his back on his throne before keeping his left leg on the top of his right one.
Darain stared at Nux for a while, seeing the expression on his face, Darain knew that he was not playing around. He was ready to face them right now, however, this wasn't Darain's goal.
No matter how hatefully this man was acting and how much he wanted to crush him, he had to wait.There was no point in arranging all of this if he threw it all away just because of a moment of anger.
Right now, he had to play along with Nux's terms.
"I want to challenge your Clan in a one versus all Battle."
Darain answered.
"Huh? That's quite shameless."
Nux commented.
"Heeh? Is the legendary Nux Leander scared? I honestly expected better, especially considering how arrogantly you have been acting ever since you came here.
I didn't think you would reject my challenge before I even clarified the rules."
Darain chuckled, trying to rile Nux up.
"Who said I am rejecting your challenge?"
Nux questioned and hearing those words, all the men who came together with Darain smiled secretly.
Just as they expected, someone as arrogant as Nux would accept literally anything you throw at him if you use his ego to your advantage.
"Although incomplete, you are still a Saint, for you to be going around asking Semi Saints to fight your clan alone, isn't that embarrassing?
Oh well, it doesn't really matter.
How many members are there in your Clan?
I won't face you all alone without knowing the exact number."
Nux replied and suddenly, the men's smiles faded away.
"What...?"
Kaelin was shocked.
"Nux Leander, you are misunderstanding something," Darain spoke up.
"What do you need now?"
"When I said a one versus all, I meant me, Darrain Bloodmoon versus the entire ExceedoGenesis, not the other way around."
Darain couldn't believe that he had to clarify this.
He had done his fair amount of research, so he knew Nux was an arrogant man, but this...?
Just how arrogant must one be to even think of the possibility of facing a Clan that is being led by a Saint all alone, especially when he himself is merely a Semi Saint!
How ridiculous is that!?
And as if he had the exact thoughts in his mind as well, a ridiculous expression appeared on Nux's face, and,
"Do you have a death wish or something?"
He questioned.
