Chapter 1214 We are the Leaders of the Ancestral Order  

We are the Leaders of the Ancestral Order

"Haaahh!!"

Nux's eyes were shot open as died inside the trial and woke up in his original body, it took a few moments for his brain to process what happened, for the last few waves, he had been so into the Trial that he forgot that everything around him was actually an illusion even though the only reason he was going this far was because of the fact that it was.

Anyways, Nux soon closed his eyes and started to calm his breathing, about a minute later, when his heart rate returned to normal and he finally sorted out his thoughts, he started looking around.

He was inside the Trial Tower, sitting on a circular Magic Circle, around him, there were many more similar circles, he recalled that this was where his wives were sitting.

Realizing that all of them had already cleared the trial, a smile appeared on his face. Once again, his eyes fell on the walls that seemed to be made out of different sorts of material and different mysterious patterns engraved onto them.

Nux didn't know whether it was done purely for the aesthetics or did it have any actual reason behind and, honestly, he didn't care.

As long as it looked cool, it was all fine, no?

Thinking about it, Nux finally stood up.

He glanced at his body, noticing how he wasn't forced to use his [Absolute Kinesis] to move himself and had regained all his muscles, a smile formed on his face.

'Didn't know being able to move all by myself would feel this good.'

Nux chuckled as he clenched his fist, tightening his muscles just to check the condition of his body.

He also realized that he had regained all the Bloodlines his Incubus Blood had devoured inside the Trial Tower.

Sensing that, he sighed in relief.

'Primordial Incubus is strong, however, being able to use the powers of different races is one of my trump cards, I cannot lose them. Though it would be great if I could use my Incubus Blood without any restriction,

If only my Human Blood was on a higher leve-'

Suddenly, Nux froze when he realized something.

He was so glad to be back in a body that was full of abundant Life Force, active muscles, and no sort of pain that he completely forgot about one important thing.

There were no changes in his body.

His body was completely the same as when he entered the Trial.

Even his Human Blood, he was expecting was to wake up with a new Primordial Human Blood running through his veins, a Blood that would allow him to use all his other Bloodlines to a significant level without having to worry about it being devoured, however, he still had the weak Exceptional Level Bloodline that was partially devoured by the Incubus Blood before.

'What...?'

Nux was confused.

'I failed...?'

Nux found it hard to believe.

He reached the 40th wave.

Now he didn't know what the previous record was, or whether reaching the 40th wave was a big deal or not, what he did know, was that, If he failed the Trial even after doing what he did, There is no way any other human in the world could clear it.

It was not his arrogance, it was a simple fact.

Nux was the human with the greatest potential the entire world had ever seen.

He simply cannot fail a trial unless it is an impossible trial, even if he didn't get a Primordial Level Bloodline, there was no way he couldn't reach the Saint Level.

Crack

While Nux was thinking all this, he heard a voice.

Turning toward the source, he noticed that the wall he had been looking at before had a huge crack in it.

'What is happening...?'

Crack Nux frowned, soon, however, the crack widened.

More and more cracks started appearing all over the place.

Nux's eyes widened in surprise when he realized what was about to happen, he tried to leave, however, it was already too late,

BOOOOOM

The Tower exploded.

What was interesting to note was that even though Nux was right in the center of the Tower, he wasn't affected by the explosion at all.

It was similar to how Aisha stepped out completely unharmed when the Succubus Trial Tower exploded.

This case, however, was different,

'Why did the tower explode...?'

Nux frowned in confusion.

He thought that the Succubus Trial Tower exploded because Aisha received a Primordial Level Bloodline, in his case, however, he didn't receive anything at all.

Then why...

The more Nux thought about all this, the more his confusion increased and the deeper his frown got.

In the end, he finally came up with a solution.

'Fuck it.'

He decided to stop thinking about everything altogether and go out.

Thinking was not his strong side anyway, he would rather go out and meet his wives.

Deciding that, Nux decided to move, but suddenly, his expression changed when he sensed a presence walking into the Trial Grounds.

Two unknown beings had walked in, he narrowed his eyes when he realized he couldn't assess how strong the two were even after using Essence, but then, a playful smile appeared on his face when he sensed a familiar presence entering the trial behind the two as well.

Nux waited for three beings to reach him, then, his eyes finally fell on the two humans and Vyriana walking behind them.

'What is this, a beauty show?'

Nux frowned, he knew about Vyriana since he had spent quite a lot of time with her, Vyriana was an exceptional beauty that would overshadow the majority of people walking with her, however, the two humans walking with her were different.

They weren't overshadowed, their beauty, both male and female, was enough to hold on against someone like Vyriana, and that surprised Nux.

Caesar Picture

Faustina Picture

"So it's you."

Suddenly, the human woman spoke up, observing Nux with an interested look on her face. The expression on her face was different from how when she was looking at other natives of Yrnie outside.

"You know me?" Nux narrowed his eyes.

For some reason, seeing this woman, flirting with her was not the first thought that came to his mind.

"You have caused quite a lot of inconvenience for us."

Faustina chuckled.

Confused, Nux glanced at Vyriana for answers, the dragon woman, however, was strangely silent.

"We are here because of what you did in the Trial,"

Caesar spoke up.

"You can see that?"

Nux narrowed his eyes as he questioned.

He had confirmed it with Vyriana before and she told him that no one could see what someone does inside the Trial Towers, this was why he decided to go all out in the first place, but for these two people to appear in front of him like that...

A wary look appeared on Nux's face and seeing that, Caesar chuckled. "You have a lot to hide, don't you?"

"..."

Nux didn't say anything.

"Don't worry, we cannot see what you did inside the Trial Tower, no one can. We can only know the number of waves a being has cleared."

"That sounds quite unconvincing," Nux replied.

"You can think whatever you wish, child.

The only reason we are here is because of the mess you created inside the Trial."

"Mess...?"

Nux frowned in confusion.

"You reached the 40th Wave."

Caesar spoke.

"I did." Nux didn't deny.

"The Maximum number of Waves that were meant to be cleared was 31.

You cleared 9 extra waves and reached a level where no one was supposed to reach,

Waves 31st to 39th weren't a problem since we still made it just because it was convenient, however, we did not create the 40th Wave when we were creating the Tower because no one was supposed to reach it.

And now that you did,

Simply awarding you with a Primordial Level Blood is not enough."

Caesar spoke, Nux, on the other hand, was focused on a completely different topic,

"Y-You created the Trial T-Towers?"

From what it was told, the Ancestral Order were the ones who gave the Trial Towers to different powers of the world and told them to manage it, however, when he asked Vyriana, she told him that other than the 'Absolute Beings', no one else knew about the Tower because those 'Absolute Beings' were the ones who created it.

So these two humans...

Were the part of the 'Absolute Beings' Vyriana was talking about and Nux couldn't believe it.

Sensing the look on his face, both Caesar and Faustina frowned, without any second thought, they turned towards Vyriana.

Vyriana avoided their eyes,

"I may or may not have told him a few things that were not necessary."

She spoke, looking elsewhere.

"..."

"..."

The two humans had deadpan looks on their faces.

In the end, however, they sighed,

"It is alright, since we are going this far, it wouldn't make sense to not tell him who we are,"

Faustina sighed.

"Fausti-"

Caesar tried to speak, however,

"It doesn't matter, Caesar.

If we take him in, we need to tell him the truth anyway."

"..."

Caesar turned silent and nodded in understanding.

Faustina then turned towards Nux and,

"You are correct, we are the ones who created the Trial Towers,

We are the Leaders of the Ancestral Order, The First Humans of Yrniel,

Or the Human Progenitors if you wish to call."
