I WILL KILL YOU

BASTARDS!!!

"Take them away."

Sauren ordered and Nux's smile widened.

In an instant, almost a hundred Portals formed all over the place, Nux looked around and instructed,

"Form proper lines and walk in without making any scene, I will personally behead anyone who tries to rush and cause any sort of panic."

Seeing his cold eyes, the demons trembled, they couldn't help but wonder who was the real demon here.

Soon, however, as they glanced at each other, they slowly started to walk into the Portal, trying to save their eyes.

By now, Rislith and others were already taken away, Nux's wives were now guiding the other succubi. Seeing how her people were being taken away, Eisheth sighed in relief. She glanced at Nux, wanting to thank him, however, she realized that he wasn't making any eye contact with her and was keeping an emotionless, uncaring appearance.

Eisheth understood what he was trying to do and backed away,

The act must continue if they wanted to save everyone.

Seeing everything play out, the five Dragons frowned, one of them then glanced at Sauren and,

"Who gave you the right to make the decision?"

An interesting thing to note was that even though they looked like they were against his decision, they, despite having all the power in their hand to stop the Succubi, didn't make a move.

"Lord Thorax, they have 5 Divine Stage Cultivators amongst them as well. There is nothing to gain if we fight here. Even if we do kill all of them, our main target would simply disappear and we then would have no way of getting him out of that pesky hiding place.

Believe me, my hatred for this bastard is stronger than all of yours combined, I know what I am doing and I promise to deliver his head to all of you very soon.

I will talk with Lord Arcturus as well,

So let them leave and enjoy the last few days left of their lives,

After that..."

Sauren, as he glared at Nux, spoke in a hateful tone,

"I will make him regret being born in this world."

"And what if he doesn't appear on the day of the challenge?" Thorax questioned.

Sauren turned silent, having no answer to this question, however, before the Dragon could continue, Nux threw a scroll to Sauren.

"Here."

Catching the scroll, Sauren quickly realized what it was.

A formal, written challenge enforced by the Ancestral Order.

"As if that has any value left." The Dragon snorted.

Nux however, sighed in helplessness,

"For you, there may not be, but as someone who has Lady Vyriana keeping an eye over me, the moment she learns I am backing away from a challenge, she will personally come to throw me on the stage."

"..."

Sauren glanced at Thorex and nodded. Vyriana's personality was extremely popular, for a battle maniac like her, if someone whose name was associated with her backed away from the battle, no one would know what she would do.

Thorax calmed down a little as well.

Honestly, he would have never agreed to this since this was clearly a setup, that bastard may act like he doesn't care about the people here, however, the very fact that his condition was to save them, it was clear that he was hiding his intentions and playing them.

The other Dragons knew this as well, the only reason they were going along with this game was because of the Divine Stage Cultivators standing behind Nux.

The three Bloodhearts were already close to them in terms of strength, combined with Eisheth and Oberon, things were even more complicated.

What was most peculiar, however, was the fact that they couldn't sense the Cultivation of the four Divine Stage Cultivators standing behind Nux.

In normal cases, they would not have minded this detail and started the fight, however...

The Five of them could still vividly recall the 2 humans they met a month ago. The ones who even made the infamous Lady Vyriana kneel as well.

The two of them had left a deep impression on them, especially considering how they had all the Dragons pushed to the grounds right in front of them.

And...

They couldn't sense their cultivation as well.

Yes, indirectly, the Dragons were intimidated, the memories of them being forced onto the ground, helpless to do anything were playing out in their heads.

And it wasn't clear if Nux knew what they were thinking or not, but with how he was looking over the Succubi who were walking into the Portals without caring about any enemy around him, they could feel his confident aura.

A strange silence fell over the place, the demons continued to walk into the Portals at a stable pace, Nux also summoned more Portals to speed up the process, however, even then, under Nux's wives' guidance it took 4 hours to take away almost all the people of the Lust State.

In these four hours, other than Eisheth getting on Nux's side and Sauren and Ragnar walking towards the Five Dragons, nothing else changed, the two parties continued to observe each other, prepared to move the moment the other party did.

It was a strong stalemate that seemed like it wouldn't break and Nux would successfully take all the people away.

Seeing that the plan worked, Eisheth sighed in relief. She momentarily closed her eyes, letting her guard down, and that little moment of carelessness was enough for the Dragons to take action.

BOOM

Thorex's Law of Self burst out, taking control over Amaya's body, the Four Dragons moved and quickly surrounded Amaya.

"You bastard!!"

Eisheth shouted as her own Law of Self burst out, trying to protect Amaya.

BOOM

Nux had done so much in order to help her, she didn't want him to lose someone precious to him for this, however, against 5 Dragons, her Law of Self couldn't possibly save the captured Amaya.

All of this happened so quickly that Nux, Sauren, and Ragnar didn't even realize it for a good while, but soon, Sauren's smile widened up as he glanced at Nux and,

"HAHAHA!"

He laughed out loud.

"Nux Leander! Don't worry, we won't kill her. I am not a ruthless man like you. We will only be keeping her with us to ensure that you will appear in our battle a week later.

Though I cannot guarantee if she would want to return to you after all that time passes away."

Sauren's smile turned demonic and,

"After all, although she may not be under my control, I, as a young man with complete power over a beautiful woman such as hers, would obviously be doing some things to her.

But don't worry, I will give you my review the day we meet. Look forward to it."

He wanted to copy Nux's words, wanting to give him the taste of his own medicine.However, unlike how he lost control when Nux said those words, Sauren couldn't enjoy seeing the same expression on Nux's face,

Rather, with how unbothered Nux looked, even Eisheth was taken aback.

Soon, the Dragons noticed something.

As they moved to capture this woman, the only person who could react to their speed was Eisheth. Even Orpheus, whose reaction speed is far stronger than any of them seemed to be in a daze and only reacted once they had finally captured the girl.

It wasn't the reaction speed of a Divine Stage Cultivator, not to mention an elite like Orpheus.

Something was wrong...

The Dragons realized, however, before they could act upon it, a slight smile appeared on Nux's face as he glanced at Sauren and,

"Good luck trying that."

Suddenly, the 'Amaya' the Dragons had captured started disintegrating into golden dust.

"Clowns."

'She' spoke, a mockful smile not leaving her face all the time her body was still there.

At the same time, a Portal appeared right behind Nux, he grabbed Eisheth's hand and,

"Clowns."

Saying the same words Amaya said, he backed off, the Dragons realized that something was wrong, and,

BOOM

Their Law of Self burst out.

The three Bloodhearts and Oberon appeared in front of Nux and Eisheth, disintegrating into dust the moment their body collided with the Dragons Law of Self but still buying enough time for Nux and Eisheth to escape.

"Hahahaha!"

Then suddenly, all the 'wives' who were left in the Lust State started laughing, slowly, the sound of their laugh changing as it soon started resembling Nux... no, Devil.

All the women soon turned into an Incubus. An Incubus all the Dragons knew too well.

"Devil..."

Thorax growled in anger.

He wanted nothing more than to crush this bastard, however, they knew that all of these were nothing more than the Devil's clones.

Nux that bastard... he never once risked any of his wives in this entire rescue plan, even the 'Divine Stage Cultivators' he had brought with him were fake...

They were fooled.

The Devil and Nux...

These two bastards working together was a nightmare.

One was too cunning and the other had means that would confuse even the Divine Stage Experts.

Even now, the Dragons couldn't understand how they were unable to tell that the people they were glaring at for the past 4 hours were nothing but mere clones.

"Hahahaha~"

While all the Dragons were still thinking all this, the Devil continued to laugh.

Then, the Devil appeared next to the enraged Sauren and with a mocking smile on his face,

"Don't worry, since he did accept your challenge, He will come fight you.

I only hope that you prepare your head to be beheaded.

Haha-"

As the Devil continued to laugh, his clone's head was beheaded and Sauren shouted in extreme anger,

"I WILL KILL YOU BASTARDS!!!"
