Chapter 1741 How very noble of you.
"You did a good job.
You are now free!
The man, who was now released and could move his body, instantly glanced at Nux and,
"A-Aren't you Nux Leander? Why did you bring me here? W-What is this place?"
As someone from Nexus, he obviously knew who Nux was. Nux's rise in fame wasn't a small one; almost every Sovereign or being below that level knew his name. The only ones who didn't know him were either shut-ins or people still out on missions.
What the man couldn't understand was why someone like Nux would bring him to such a damned place.
Was it because of what he was doing before he was caught?
Was this man trying to teach him a lesson?
The man was prepared to kneel down and beg for forgiveness, but before he could do so...
Nux had already disappeared.
He was in no mood to explain things to a mere thug.
Right now, he was rushing towards the Wraith moving toward the man he had brought here. Umbrasol may not be able to sense him right now. However, Nux knew the instant he killed one of the Wraiths-an entity created by Umbrasol itself-it would be able to sense his presence, and the Wraiths would continue to come for him instead of that person, even if he died.
Yes, it was now time to complete the second stage of the mission.
Traversing through the large field filled with Death Energy could indeed prove to be a challenge for normal people, especially beings who hadn't attained immortality yet-beings like Nux.
Yes, even Nux couldn't resist the Primordial Energy of Death around him. If he stayed in this environment for a long time, his Life Force would indeed run out, and he would perish.
This was the reason Nux had to keep using Devour to consume the Death Energy around him, creating a safe space.
IIe needed to continue doing that as long as he was in this place.
That meant he had to constantly use his energy. The only good part was that, unlike others who couldn't recover because the energy they cultivated wasn't present here, Nux, who cultivated Essence, could convert almost any energy into Essence, just like he did with Mana inside Yrniel. The only condition was that he needed to be able to control the said energy.
He couldn't control the Death Energy, so that was out of the question. However, he could control the Energy of Destruction, which-although not as abundant as the Death Energy-was still present here. So even if his energy recovered slower than normal, it would still work.
Of course, it was a different matter that Nux's own energy reserves were absurdly high, to the point they couldn't even be called the energy reserves of a Divine Level being anymore.
So even if he had to use a little energy to survive, it wasn't a bad deal.
As for the man he had brought here?
Well, Nux never cared about him from the beginning.
He just needed that man to stay alive until he reached the first Wraith. Once that happened, his role
was over.
Of course, that itself was easier said than done.
The Death Energy in this place was no different than poison. That man might not survive, especially since he couldn't even use his energy here.
Yes, since there were no other energies in this place, the environment heavily favored the Death Energy and its users. Normal users were helpless.
This was also the reason Nux released the man from [Absolute Kinesis], Just keeping the energy activated was draining his power so quickly that even he, with his almost infinite energy stored inside him, felt the strain.
Yes, Absolute Kinesis, Absolute Step-every single ability other than the Devouring Mist and the abilities of Shadow Demons-couldn't be used in this place.
As for that man, who had no abilities related to Death, Darkness, Destruction, or any such energies, he could only die, even though he wouldn't be facing the Wraith coming for him.
Anyway, Nux's eyes soon fell on the Wraith in front of him. Without waiting, he gathered strength in his legs and jumped toward the Wraith.
From the recordings, he already knew the Wraith's weak point.
It was honestly quite obvious.
All these cold Wraiths used Ascendence of the Undying, making it impossible for physical attacks to work on them. It was honestly worse for Nux, who was only relying on his physical power to deal with them. However, these Wraiths couldn't always keep this ability activated, so if one could take them by surprise...n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Killing them wasn't difficult.
This was something Nux could do.
Honestly, the speed at which he rushed toward the Wraith was simply so high that the poor thing couldn't react to it, and...
*BOOOM*
With one punch, the Wraith was obliterated.
The next instant, Umbrasol reacted.
Nux was now visible to it.
It was similar to how the Universe could detect Nux every time he devoured a world. They didn't know where he was, but just knowing where the incident happened was enough.
Umbrasol sent the Wraiths. This time, a thousand of them moved to the place where the previous Wraith had died. One single Wraith also moved toward the man, who was already having a hard time staying alive.
Nux was quickly surrounded by the Wraiths.
Now that the Wraiths-who, unlike Umbrasol, could actually see Nux-encircled him, one Wraith stepped forward.
Once again, the Wraiths were planning to play it fair.
"How very noble of you."
Nux chuckled.
He jumped around, relaxing his body.
The Wraith waited for him to attack.
Their attitude was similar to what he saw in the recording.
The absolute confidence to win any fair battle.
This time, however, things turned out much differently than what happened in the recording.
"You should have activated your trump card already!"
Nux's words were heard, and as for the Wraith facing him...
It was obliterated with one punch.
*BOOOM*
