'Lord Nux…'

While Nux was resting in his room with Melia lying in his arms, he heard a voice.

'Darain?'

A frown appeared on Nux's face as he recognized the voice.

Melia, who was lying next to him frowned and started hearing their conversation as well.

'They are here.'

Darain spoke, from his tone, he sounded worried, Nux, however, didn't care about that at all, rather, a big smile appeared on his face and,

'Amaya's plan worked.'

'But of course, were you perhaps doubting me?'

Amaya questioned.

'Of course not. I trust you with my eyes closed.'

'That's better.' Amaya nodded in satisfaction. 'You should follow whatever I say without asking a single thing,'

'Mhm, of course, of course.' Nux nodded in agreement.

'Yes, the next four turns belong to me.' Amaya sneaked in the request she wanted to be fulfilled and Nux couldn't help but chuckle.

'That was a romantic try.'

'Don't let me get stronger than you, Nux.' Amaya threatened as her black eyes turned even darker. Her possessiveness was as strong as always.

request she wanted to be fulfilled and Nux couldn't help but 'That was a romantic try.'

chuckle.

'Don't let me get stronger than you, Nux.' Amaya threatened as her 'Sometimes, I wonder what would you do if you actually do get stronger than me.'

'Oh, I am sure you will love it.

After all, I can never hurt you.

Though I am not sure about the people around you.'

Amaya replied then suddenly, she heard a snort.

'As if you have what it takes to be 'unsure' about us. The outcome of our battle couldn't be clearer, Amaya.' Astaria snorted.

'…' Amaya didn't say anything. She knew Astaria was stronger than her, not only Astaria, many of her sisters were stronger than her.

She could only snort in frustration.

'Nux, be careful.'

Suddenly, Evane spoke with a concerned look on her face.

'Yes, the Black Order is dangerous.' Amaya nodded as well. The other women said the same thing, Melia, who was lying next to him took her chance and boldly rolled over on top of him, then, with her red eyes staring right into Nux's, her teeth elongated and,

*Pierce*

"Unngghhhh~"

Nux moaned in pleasure as he felt Melia sucking his Blood like a greedy Vampire she is, in response, Nux held her naked body as tightly as he could, rubbing her back, feeling every single inch of her skin.

His Golden eyes started flickering, changing their color to red, it was his Vampire instincts awakening, urging him to bite his Vampire woman back, Nux, however, held back, he knew the moment he gave in would be the moment he would get too busy to leave this place and that was something he couldn't do.

Darrain may be useless, but right now, he was the only lead they had. They couldn't lose him, neither the fish that had taken the bait.

Nux had to control his instincts, and as if Melia could sense her partner's worry, she finally stopped sucking his blood, then, she licked the place where she bit, Nux's body regenerated at a scary pace, Melia then moved her, Nux's blood dripping out of her mouth, moving all the way to her chin, then her beautiful hanging breasts, this combined with how her red eyes were shining as she stared at Nux was a sight so alluring that the Vampire momentarily felt like she was a succubus.

*Gulp*

Nux's gulp was audible.

Seeing that, a seductive smile appeared on Melia's face, and,

"We will continue this after you return," She spoke.

"We will." Nux nodded as he pulled his Vampire wife close to him and sealed her lips.

"We will continue this for sure." He spoke his determination to return getting stronger the more he held his lovely wife.

"Now leave," Melia spoke like the responsible woman she was.

Nux nodded, then, placing Melia aside, he sat up, closed his eyes, and took some deep breaths.

Then, opening his eyes again, his Golden eyes shined brightly, he finally moved away from the bed, wore his closed and,

"I'll be back."

Saying those words, he disappeared.

…

"So you are the one who was defeated by Nux Leander."

An unknown figure wearing a Black Robe that seemed similar to the one the people from the Ancestral Order wore spoke in a hoarse voice. It was clear that the person was changing his voice on purpose, Darrain however, didn't care about that. Or in other words, he was not in a condition to care about those things.

He could feel the unreasonably strong aura that the person in front of him released and if that didn't help, then the fact that all his Clan members passed out the moment this man appeared should have been enough to tell what sort of existence he was facing.

'Lord Nux…'

He called out again.

He didn't know whether Nux was strong enough to face this person or not and honestly, he didn't care, he was ordered to call him when someone visited him, that was what he did, what happens after that, it didn't matter to him.

Honestly, deep in his mind, Darrain wanted this person to kill Nux, however, let alone speak, he couldn't even think of such a possibility since he knew that the moment he did, that horrifying pain would return.

That pain was also the reason why Darrain, deep inwardly in his thoughts, wanted Nux to die, at the very least, he would then regain his freedom.

'Stall for time. I am coming.'

For now, however, Darain had no choice but to follow the orders given to him.

"Who are you, what are you doing here and what do you want from me?" Darrain questioned as he glanced at the person standing in front of him.

"Oh?" The person in the Black Cloak seemed surprised. "I didn't think you had the guts to ask so many questions in one breath. I was half expecting you to cower in fear and stutter continuously for at least the first few minutes of our conversation. I am surprised to see you acting this bravely, it is almost as if you have someone coming to protect you and you are stalling for time."

The person spoke and Darrain's expressions changed.

This mistake alone was enough to give it all away, "So that's the case…" the cloaked being realized.

"How did you contact your allies? I made sure you don't get the chance to do so." He spoke.

"…" Darrain, however, had no answer.

How was he supposed to answer such a question? Should he tell about how he was enslaved by his opponent and now has to do whatever he was ordered to do?

How embarrassing would that be?

Not that Darrain had the chance to think about things like that.

"So, who did you call? Are they strong? Are you sure they can protect you? Should I start moving? I only need you so I can take you away but honestly, that would defeat the purpose of visiting you like this.

This is complicated…"

The being sighed. "We would be having a peaceful conversation if you hadn't done what you did…

I actually want to kill you, but I am also curious about how you contacted your allies, a technique that can escape my senses, now that seems like something they would be interested in. I think I am allowed to make creative adjustments to the plan in this case, no?"

The being spoke and the more he did, the more Darrain paled in fear, he did not like where all of this was going. He felt like a prey who was being eyed by a prime hunter.

'L-Lord Nux…' he called out again.

This time, however, he received the response he was waiting for.

'Yes yes, I am here, now don't piss me off.'

Nux spoke with an annoyed look on his face as he glanced at the two people standing in front of him. Yes, he was already inside the Bloodmoon's Base, looking at the two people conversing 'secretly' without a care in the world.

"I think I need to put in a little work this time."

He spoke, then suddenly, his Golden eyes turned purple, and,

*Whoosh*

Another being who looked exactly like him appeared in front of him and it wasn't the end of it,

*Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh*

More and more Clones started appearing in front of him, all of them were in his human form, then without waiting any further, Nux took out an Artifact.

Arcane Missile.

The Artifact that the Feline Cat City used to defeat Prima Skythron of the Skythorn Falcon City. That time, they used 15 of these Artifacts to attack Prima and his men,

And Rune gave 5 of those missiles to Nux.

It was now time to use them.

Nux gave 5 of those Arcane Missiles to his Clones, just like him, his clones couldn't be sensed by others either, after all, they were him, just 50% less strong.

"Shoot together."

Nux ordered, his 5 Clones then spread out and surrounded Darrain and the unknown figure,

"Now."

Nux ordered and,

*BOOOOOOOM*

Everything exploded.
