"Would you give it a rest?"
Vyriana questioned with an annoyed look on her face as she glanced at the dark-haired woman standing in front of her.
It had only been a few months since they restarted their training after all the mess with Lilith, and considering that Solitude's End was a place where time flows 100 times faster. A few months, or more precisely 5 months they have spent here, would only mean that barely 2 days have passed in Yrniel.
For this woman to be back in just 2 days despite having spent 2 whole years with Nux just now...
Vyriana couldn't be more annoyed.
This time, however, Lane had an answer Vyriana felt helpless against.
"It's Riona."
In an instant, Nux's expression changed.
"In just 2 days...?"
Vyriana blinked, a dumbfounded look appeared on her face.
"She was already close to forming her Law, talking to Thyra seemed to have fastened the process."
Lane replied and Nux nodded with a big smile on her face.
"I knew it, my wives are amazing."
Vyriana, of course, knew what that smile meant, in the end, she just snorted in defeat and threw the Artifact towards Nux.
Nux activated the Artifact and left, Lane followed her husband. Vyriana glanced at the Progenitor and sighed helplessly. Faustina smiled as well.
"This is equally important as well. The more he learns about Laws and how people close to him formed them, the higher the chances of him comprehending his Law."
Vyriana nodded. She knew it was true, however, she still felt strange when she saw how quickly Nux left when his wife was mentioned.
"He is too attached to them." She complained.
"Do you want him to only be attached to you?" Faustina questioned with a playful smile on her face.
"I just want him to focus on his training." Vyriana snorted.
"Is that so...?" Faustina just nodded with a smile.
Then, she activated her artifact and disappeared as well, the Dragon soon followed the Progenitor.
...
Back in Yrniel, once the news that Riona had formed her Law was spread, this time, the reaction she received wasn't as major as the rest of the women did.
The women who were training in Waranal didn't even come back. They decided to stay there and cultivate. After all, meeting with Nux for a few hours couldn't possibly satiate their thirst. They wanted to become a Divine and stay together with him in the Solitude's End.
The women who were trying to form their Law were the same, those who knew exactly what they were supposed to do didn't stop. Since everyone had gathered just 2 days ago, they were already clear about what others were trying to do in order to form their Laws, so the fact that Riona had formed her Law wasn't a surprise to anyone.
"I guess we are the only ones here."
Riona spoke with a smile on her face as she glanced at Nux. Nux smiled back, however, as if to refute her statement, Lane manifested herself out of Nux's shadow, staring right at Riona with an expressionless look on her face.
She wasn't alone, soon, Vyriana and Faustina made their entries as well, making Riona, who was trying to have some alone time with Nux smile wryly.
With the Dragon here, she knew it was impossible for her to take Nux away for a quicky and she couldn't help but snort at her luck.
'I should have held back.'
She complained in her head.
Now, however, it was already too late to regret.
"What Law did you form?"
While Riona was regretting her decisions, Faustina questioned with a curious look on her face. Till now, she has seen these women forming the craziest of laws, laws she had never heard of before. So she was curious about what this one came up with.
Of course, Faustina wasn't alone, Vyriana, Lane and even Nux were curious about Riona's Law. As a woman who was previously a great assassin and a Queen, someone who trained an elite assassin like Thyra, Nux had high hopes for Riona.
Thyra's Law of Linked Lethality was absurdly strong, so as her first teacher, Nux looked forward to what kind of lethal law did this woman form, but then... "Law of Last Protection." free(w)ebnovel(.)com
Riona answered, her answer was far more different than what everyone was expecting.
"Law of Last Protection...?"
Nux tilted his head in confusion.
An Assassin forming a Law related to Protection...?
Since when did Assassin become protectors?
Was something like that even possible, didn't the Law work based on what one did in the past, the present and the future?
Nux's mind was filled with questions, soon however, all his questions were answered.
"My Law allows me to become the last layer of the defence of my target. Whether it is my Daughter, or you, when the two of you are under a serious threat, I have the ability to appear right next to you regardless of where you are and block one attack, no matter how strong the attack is.
The Law also strengthens my defensive abilities, allowing me to block normal attacks in general. Considering that Thyra, Astaria and Amaya already formed an offensive Law, I decided to form a Law that would focus on defence to balance everything out."
"You formed your Law... after considering the situation of your entire group...?" Vyriana tilted her head in confusion.
This was something she never thought about before. After all, why would one form a Law considering such factors, shouldn't one disregard everything and form what makes them the strongest?
Riona, however, had a different thinking.
The Assassin simply smiled charmingly as she glanced at Nux and,
"Well, since we are going to stick together for the rest of our lives, we can't just have every person attacking with brute force, now can we? If everyone attacks together with my husband, who is going to defend him?
I decided to take that role.
I will become Nux's shield."
