1256 Competition is good, just don't compete with him, it only gets depressing.
"You can see me..."
Nux was surprised.
"I am your ancestor, child,
There is no way you can hide from me."
"..."
Nux stayed silent.
Unable to believe that he was caught when he was using Essence, combined with [Conceal] and his Cat Form's [Invisibility].
"Nux...?"
After all, even Vyriana couldn't sense his presence when he used all these abilities together.
In the end, however, Nux couldn't help but smile wryly and shake his head in defeat. Faustina was right, she was his ancestor, the Human Progenitor, one of the strongest beings in the universe, how could he possibly hide in front of someone like her?
"Wait... what are you doing here...?" Vyriana questioned with a frown on her face.
'You want me to fight that monster head-on?' Nux replied, he still wasn't visible to anyone but Faustina, however, he could still talk with Vyriana using Mana.
"Are you planning on fighting him using your clones alone?" Faustina questioned with a curious look on her face.
'He is stronger than I expected, I do not have any other choice.' Nux replied.
"He is stronger than you expected, so you are using your Clones to fight him instead...? It is quite hard for me to make sense out of that logic." Faustina replied as she tilted her head in confusion.
Vyriana, on the other hand, understood what this man was trying to do and, "I told you not to use this method, did I not?"
She spoke as she narrowed her eyes. She didn't look amused. f(r)eewebnovel.com
'As I said, he is stronger than I expected, I am unable to react to his attacks even when I use Zenith Flow, if I fight him normally, it would be over in an instant. Do you not see how quickly he is destroying my clones?
It may not look like it, but those clones hold 80% of my strength.'
Nux replied.
Vyriana and Faustina glanced at the battlefield where the Dragon Lord who had lost control over his emotions was relentlessly attacking Nux's clones.
"YOU BASTARD!!
You think you can hide behind these clones!?
Just you wait till I get my hands on you."
BOOM
Arcturus shouted as he burst open another clone's head.
'See that? Tell me that's not scary.'
"A man who lost control over his emotions and continuously hit clones of his opponents with his weak punches, how is that scary?"
Vyriana questioned back and Nux had no answer.
'Think about this from my level, Vyriana.'
"I have no need to do that. You and I are different." The Dragon Woman snorted.
Nux smiled wryly.
Faustina, on the other hand, frowned in confusion, she then looked into Nux's eyes and questioned, "But I do not get it, if your opponent is stronger than you, why are you wasting your Mana to make him fight Clones that are clearly weaker than you? How is that going to help? Are you planning to get him tired? Or are you waiting for him to make a mistake?"
Faustina had more assumptions but before Nux could clear her doubts, Vyriana interrupted, "He plans to use the clones to end the fight. It is a cowardly method, but I will admit that it is quite strong."
"What method...?" Faustina was curious.
"He is using adaptability."
Vyriana replied, then she pointed at one of the clones fighting Arcturus and, "Out of all the clones, that one can be considered the main clone, that clone is fighting Arcturus and is slowly adapting to his strong physical ability. As time passes, it would continue to adapt and at one point, reach a checkpoint where his physical abilities are comparable to Arcturus's, marking the end of the battle.
Even if that clone is discovered and destroyed by Arcturus, it would simply create more clones with similar levels of adaptations, and the new main clone out of those clones would continue the mission to continue adapting to Arcturus's battle style till it is destroyed or destroys the enemy instead.
It is a never-ending loop with only one way out, that is Arcturus's defeat, and all this while, This bastard would sit beside us, watching the battle like a spectator till his Mana runs out, which, would never happen because of his bloodline automatically absorbing more and more Mana as time goes by."
Vyriana explained the entire plan and the more Faustina heard about it, the more surprised she got.
"Are you telling me that... his clones would eventually get stronger than him and defeat that Dragon...?"
"Exactly."
Vyriana nodded and Faustina just blinked in confusion.
This didn't make any sense.
Yes, as human progenitors, their body knew how to adapt and get stronger during the battle as well, this concept wasn't foreign to her, but... it wasn't something this broken... Just those clones, for example, yes, they can adapt, however, it would only make a difference when the enemy is much stronger than them, in most similar cases, the enemy will end up killing them before they can adapt and get stronger than the enemy.
This was also the reason Human Progenitors weren't the strongest, other Progenitors had what it took to defeat them before they could 'adapt' and get stronger than them.
But...
This monster...
Who could somehow use clones... not to mention these clones could adapt to situations just like them... completely avoiding the sole risk of dying before getting strong enough to defeat the opponent... And the man's ability to completely hide his presence in the middle of the battlefield... W-Wasn't this the most ridiculous combination of skills one could ever have!?
Where was this monster's weakness!?
Wasn't it plain bullying at this point!?
His enemy, despite being stronger than him, could only fight till his opponent grew and became strong enough to defeat him!? How was this fair!?
Faustina wasn't much of a compassionate person but this...
It was something even she couldn't ignore.
And it wasn't entirely her fault either, with the combinations of skills he had, human adaptation was indeed a broken skill in Nux's hands.
After all, not only could he not use Incubus Clones, he could also use Essence to completely hide his body and make it impossible for his opponent to differentiate between him and his clones.
Abilities like Zenith Flow, Vampire's Mist, Shadow Demon's Shadowy form weren't weak either. The advantage Nux had over his opponent was simply... ridiculous.
And it was a Divine Stage opponent to boot!
"I finally understand why you don't want him as our enemy," Faustina spoke with a slight smile on her face.
Then, she turned towards Nux and,
"You are quite a troublesome fellow, aren't you?"
'Hmm? Of course not. I am just a man who loves peace.'
"Is that so...?"
Faustina just smiled.
In her head, she couldn't help but compare Nux to a certain man.
"He is almost as monstrous as him."
She commented out loud.
"Him?" Vyriana frowned. In an instant, she knew who Faustina was talking about. A man even she was interested in, "Are you implying that even after all this, he is still not the Vampire Progenitor's match?" She questioned.
Vyriana was hailed as the Strongest Divine Stage Cultivator the world had ever seen and this included everyone, even the Progenitors. Vyriana was so strong that even if these Progenitors limited their cultivation to Divine Stage and spar with her, she would come out victorious.
Defeating her Masters was also the source of Vyriana's pride, however, 𝙛𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝒃𝓷𝓸𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝒄𝓸𝓶
There was one thing that always bothered her, a story of the man she was always compared with, no, not compared, she would have been glad if she was ever 'compared' to that man, she was simply 'put down' whenever his name was taken.
She was indeed called the strongest, but that was only when Azriel Ruinous, the Vampire Progenitor, wasn't involved in the comparison, and whenever she asked about him, her Masters always shut her down, 'Don't bother, you still aren't on his level.'
'Competition is good, just don't compete with him, it only gets depressing.'
Vyriana grew up hearing these things to the point she got tired of it, she even wanted to spar with that man to know where she was lacking, however, let alone getting an answer, the man didn't even know she existed.
It was annoying, but there was nothing Vyriana could do. Now, however, when she finally saw how Nux had developed, she thought that maybe this was the birth of the strongest genius in the world, But even now...
"Hmm? Did your Master not tell you? Azriel is obviously different.
You should not compare yourselves with him.
Competition is good, just don't compete with him, it only gets depressing."
Again.
It was those same words again.
Vyriana was annoyed, this time, it wasn't just her, Nux seemed quite curious as well.
"Azriel huh...
I wonder what kind of man he is...
I want to meet him."
He commented, but suddenly, Faustina's face turned grim, and,
"Hope that you do not meet him.
Because if there comes a time when he is awake and is interacting with others, It would imply that Yrniel is in danger."
