Chapter 1213 Nux was squashed to death.  

Nux was squashed to death.

"Long live... the King..."

The General, whose neck was broken, limbs were crushed and life force was about to come to an end, spoke one last time as he looked at his king while lying on the ground filled with corpses of other soldiers who fought bravely and the monsters who rushed into them without any fear inside them.

The General knew that he was about to die, even if his life force wasn't all used up, he knew he would still die, his heart was pumping blood, however, most of his blood vessels that took the blood from one place to other were crushed along with his limbs, he couldn't move, let alone stand, however, even in this condition, he stared at his king and tried to chant his name one more time, "Long... Li..."

This time however, he could not complete his words and stopped breathing...

"Haaahh... Haaah... Fuck..."

Nux, who was barely standing using his sword as a support, cursed.

This time, he wasn't carrying two swords like he normally did, his body was not in the condition to use a second sword, heck, even using a single sword was considered an achievement for the current him.

The Zenith Flow had stopped working.

After all, out of tens of thousands of 'situations' he 'stored' into his muscle memories, a situation where all his muscles were overused and had stopped working due to excessive amount of vibrations passed through them, was not one of them.

"How much... longer...?"

Nux questioned as he glanced at the battlefield with his face covered in his blood. There were bruises all over his body, the only reason his limbs weren't trembling nonstop was because of the [Absolute Essence] that he was using to control his body. However, these bruises weren't the most horrifying part,

His long, lustrous hair had turned white and dull, his lips had become rough, and his face was covered in countless wrinkles, hhis arms and legs, which were once muscular, had thinned down, and there were age spots all over his body, Nux, who once looked like a healthy young man in his 20s, now looked like a man who was a step away from his grave.

He had used his Life Force.

One had to know, Nux was barely 200 years old and as a Semi Saint, he could live for as long as 3000 years. He was brimming with almost endless Life Force, honestly, a nearly 3000 years worth of life force was barely something any other cultivators could muster, however, Nux could do it,

And that was the only reason he was still standing in this battlefield,

Where his 100 Clones, were facing against 400 Divine Stage Monsters, well, the word 'facing' was glorifying it, They were simply trying to dodge their attacks and were getting beaten up in the process. They were stalling.

The only good thing was that unlike Nux, who had lost his ability to use Zenith Flow, the Clones, who were summoned during this wave, were able to use it. If it was a battle against only 100 Divine Stage Cultivators, Nux might have won, however, 500 Divines was simply too big of a number.

One of his clones was facing four Divine Stage Monsters, even with Zenith Flow, it was simply impossible to dodge the attacks of 4 beings who were stronger and faster than the user himself.

Slowly and steadily, the Clones were losing, they had also lost the regeneration of the Vampire Bloodline, neither could they turn into their Shadow Form to dodge attacks, of course, the only reason he made it this far was because of the complete Primordial Blood, however, after reaching this stage, Nux couldn't help but recall the conveniences provided by his other Bloodlines.

This was the 39th Wave, where Nux was supposed to face 10,000 Saints and 500 Divines, an absurdly difficult level that had no clue how to clear, heck, even the past few waves, from facing 100 Divines to 200 and then 500, all of them were levels that Nux couldn't complete even after using his almost endless Life Force.

In truth, even after using his Life Force, if the Waves were complete, Nux would have failed at the 38th Wave, where he was supposed to face 5000 Saints and 500 Divines, after all, the addition of an extra 5000 Divines in the 39th Wave wasn't a very big challenge for Nux who could simply send a Clone or two to clear up the Saints.

The real problems were the 500 Divines, even if he used his Life Force, the maximum amount of Clones that had decent fighting ability were 100.

Fighting against 200 Divines with 100 Clones was still a possibility, but 500?

That was simply too farfetched.

One Clone could not face 5 Divines at the same time, Nux even tried to push his bodies to kill a few Divines, however, even after killing almost 100 Divine Stage Monsters, the difficulty still didn't go down and the fact that his clones had taken many hits didn't help either.

The only reason Nux was able to clear the 38th Wave was time.

Nux had found a loophole in the tower,

The Tower was designed in such a way that after 24 hours, all monsters disappear and the next waves start, that was how Nux made it to the 39th Wave, and with the same intention, he was planning on making it to the 40th, which, he supposed would be the last one.

Clank

While he was thinking all this, Nux was attacked by a Monster that skipped past one of his clones, he blocked the attack using his sword, however, in process, his sword he fallen and he lost his balance,

'Fuck...'

Nux cursed, he could see the second incoming attack, an attack, that he couldn't dodge, and the attack that could very well kill him,

'No, I just need to survive for a little long!!'

Nux shook his head, awaking from his thoughts as he then recalled all 100 of his clones and, BOOOOOOM

Nux was squashed to death.

Or... that was how it should be but, A Primordial Incubus's ultimate ability, an ability that made a Primordial Incubus much morevtrickier to deal with, even when compared to other Primordial Beings,

A Perfect Clone,

A Clone that replicates 100% of the original strength,

An Illusion that synthesizes the reality itself, a Clone, that becomes the reality, in case the original dies,

A Clone that could become real, or in other words, A Clone that could be used as a Second Life.

"Khaawwwkkkkk!!"

Just that the soul would need a few years to get used to the new body... and during this time... no Incubus Abilities could be used.

So now...

Nux had to face 400 Divine Stage Monsters rushing towards him, without any clones, with an old Body that could barely move.

Nux then picked a sword fallen on the ground, ready to face his opponents, he however, lucked out and, the 400 Divine Stage Monsters rushing towards him started disappearing...

Hours were up.

"Haaah!!"

Nux fell on the ground, breathing as hard as he could.

He had around 10 minutes before the 40th Wave starts.

He needed to recover as much as possible before that.

However,

Rumble Rumble

While Nux was resting, he felt the ground tremble, something was coming towards him fast... extremely fast.

Nux stood up, preparing to face whatever it was, soon, his eyes fell on a strange figure that didn't match the rest of the monsters, its entire body felt like it couldn't be formed properly.

Nux narrowed his eyes, trying to understand what that 'thing' was, however,

Whoosh

The 'thing' quickly passed by and Nux's world turned upside down.

And a few moments minute later, when he saw the 'thing' clashing and destroying his Dome and the Castle it was protecting, he realized, He was beheaded.

He was killed and he failed at the 40th Wave.
