Chapter 1254 Got you.
1254 Got you.
"It is the grudge between the two of you, correct?
There is no need to involve so many people, solve it like warriors do,
You two will fight it out in a 1v1 duel.
And whether that will be a deathmatch or not, it depends on you."
Caesar spoke and the moment he heard those words, a wide smile appeared on Arcturus's face, however, before he could celebrate, "Haah? You want a Semi Saint to duel against a Divine Stage Cultivator? Isn't that simply sending him to his death? How is he supposed to win?"
Vyriana stepped in front of Nux.
"This duel cannot happen, and that is final."
She declared with an authoritative look on her face.
Caesar narrowed his eyes,
"Are you going against my orders?"
"I will obviously protect my Disciple's Husband from an unfair encounter. How am I supposed to answer my disciple if he dies in the duel?"
Vyriana was firm.
It didn't matter if the one standing in front of her was one of the strongest beings in the universe. She simply looked into Caesar's eyes and, "I am all for aiming for the better but it doesn't mean I will allow something like this, a Divine, even if Incomplete, is not an existence that a non-Divine can defeat.
Your order is no different than sending him to his death, I doubt if even other Progenitors would want that. Especially after seeing what happened that day."
"Why is that impossible? Don't you just have to seal his Law of Self to make it fair? Then their 'existence' can be equalized, can it not?
Aren't you curious as well? How your disciple's husband would perform when he faces an actual talent?" Caesar spoke with a playful smile on his face.
"Are you saying you wish to use the Shackles of Eternity?" Vyriana questioned with a frown on her face.
Shackles of Eternity was a 12 Star Artifact that limited a Divine Stage Cultivator's Law. It was also the Artifact Arcturus used to capture his wife, Ignatia.
"Of course not. Those chains need to be placed on arms, legs and the neck for it to work, severely limiting one's movement, not to mention that what it does is limit the Law of Self, it doesn't entirely cancel it. It will not be fair to use it for a duel."
Vyriana frowned, "I don't remember there being an Artifact that can completely cancel a Law of Self."
Something like that couldn't possibly exist, if it did, there was no way Vyriana didn't know about it.
And Caesar nodded,
"It doesn't exist."
Vyriana frowned in confusion, Caesar, however, just chuckled and,
"That doesn't mean it cannot be created."
Then, the Human Progenitor turned towards his wife and,
"You are more creative than me in this department, can you create something like this for me?"
Faustina narrowed her eyes,
"Why do I have to do the work?"
She questioned.
"Are you not looking forward to the battle as well?" Caesar questioned and Faustina turned silent.
She glanced at Nux before looking at the fallen Arcturus and indeed, her curiousness was piqued.
"Alright."
In the end, she gave into her partner's demand, and in an instant, a few materials that no one here had ever seen before appeared in the air around her, the materials then shined, a few complicated Magic Circles were formed under the materials and a minute later, a red-black colored bracelet was formed.
Without any care, Faustina simply threw the bracelet at Caesar and,
"Here."
She spoke.
The world's first artifact that could cancel the Law of the Self was formed. Vyriana blinked in surprise, she couldn't believe this little thing was dangerous enough to put her in a powerless state, however, as if she could tell what the Dragon Woman was thinking, Faustina shook her head,
"Don't worry, it won't work on you. It can only contain weak laws of self formed by Incomplete Cultivators, a complete cultivator would not be affected, let alone a monster like you."
"Can an Artifact that could cancel my Law of Self be created?"
Vyriana questioned with a curious look on her face and Faustina shook her head,
"I do not have the capability to create something like that,
Those shorties might be different though, they almost always have a solution for any problems."
Vyriana nodded in understanding.
Caesar, on the other hand, was not interested in what the shorties could do and not, he simply glanced at the Dragon Lord lying on the ground and,
"I am sure you must have heard us talk, no?
Do you accept the conditions of the duel?"
"A duel without using my Law of Self?" Arcturus questioned.
"I think that is quite fair, no?
He killed your son, now I am giving you the chance to avenge him.
I can also positively say that this might be the only chance you will ever have to get your revenge.
I am sure I don't have to write it out for you, but this man is a monster, it won't be long before he actually surpasses you, and once that happens, you will never be able to catch up to him.
Heck, he will become the biggest threat in your entire life,
The chance given to you today is no different than your ticket to a stable and safe future life, take it, and remove the threat from the roots."
Caesar spoke.
"How am I supposed to know that you two or her will not interfere with the duel?" Arcturus questioned.
He could believe the two Progenitors for a while, but Vyriana...
With how the woman stood against the ones she kneeled before for the sake of Nux, Arcturus realized that their relationship wasn't as simple as he initially thought it was.
"Don't worry, no one will interfere in the battle," Caesar assured.
Arcturus however, wasn't gullible.
"If words worked, I wouldn't have asked in the first place. I need a solid proo-"
"Shove it."
However, before the Dragon Lord could complete, Vyriana appeared right in front of him and stepped on his horn.
"Who gave you the authority to negotiate with us, haah?
Aren't you a little too arrogant for a mere reject?"
Vyriana spat and the people who saw the scene in front of her eyes couldn't help but turn silent. They couldn't believe that the one being stepped on and humiliated like this was the fearsome Dragon Lord, the overlord of the entire Dragon Continent, one of the strongest leaders in the world.
Alaric, on the other hand, couldn't help but find a strong resemblance in Vyriana's and Nux's words.
'So that's it...'
He finally understood where the child picked those words from.
It was his teacher.
Nux simply couldn't be blamed since his teacher was like... this...
Honestly, with how Vyriana was pressing her foot onto Arcturus's head, she looked no different than a roadside gangster bullying those weaker than her.
'Nux is a better version of her...'
Alaric and the others finally realized the truth.
Vyriana then turned towards Caesar and extended her hand, Caesar understood what the Dragon wanted and threw the bracelet towards her.
Vyriana then stepped back, Arcturus's body then flew up, flying onto Vyriana's level, the Dragon woman forced the bracelet onto him before she turned around, leaving Arcturus to fall on the ground and lose his Law of Self.
Vyriana on the other hand turned towards Nux and,
"If you lose I will kill you." She threatened.
"I have many things to do, dying isn't on the list yet."
Nux shrugged.
Vyriana nodded with a smile, Caesar, on the other hand, waved his hand, the strange powerlessness every Divine Stage Cultivator was feeling disappeared.
Nux helped Lyriana stand,
"Be careful,"
Lyriana warned with a worried look on her face. freeweb(n)ovel.com
Her eyes were on Arcturus who was currently busy getting used to a body without a Law of Self. For a Divine Stage Cultivator, it was a big change and he needed time to get used to it.
'You can also order one of his men to interrupt and kill him in one move. The only thing the two of them would be able to do is to kill him.'
Lyriana suggested.
She had seen the power of the Slave Seal, Nux could definitely pull something like that off, however,
'You are worrying too much, Lyriana.
Without the Law of Self, he ain't shit.'
Nux spoke with a confident look on his face as he glanced at Arcturus.
Lyriana momentarily paused before stepping aside together with Nux's wives.
The Stage was set again, this time, Caesar took the role of the judge, and,
"Are the two of you ready?"
He questioned.
"Of course," Nux spoke.
Arcturus nodded as well.
"Start."
Caesar announced and the moment he did, Nux disappeared and appeared right next to Arcturus, wanting to punch his head, But then,
Bam
"Huh...?"
Nux blinked in surprise when he noticed Arcturus holding his fist effortlessly.
Suddenly, an evil smile appeared on Arcturus's face, and,
"Got you."
Saying those words,
He tore apart Nux's arm.
