1410 Alger Bannermane, are you willing to be my Slave?
"Well, this is a familiar sight."
Nux commented as he entered the Bannermane Mansion, the House's defences did nothing to stop him, not that there was anything to be called 'defences', unlike in Yrniel, where Clans have several artefacts to create countless shields around their clans that senses and stops other beings from sneaking in, the Forgotten Continent was not that advance, not that it would have mattered anyways, after all, even those artifacts cannot sense Nux's when he uses his Essence.
Right now, even a Divine Stage Cultivator would have a hard time sensing Nux, in this place, he was pretty much invincible.
Anyways, the only so-called 'defences' this place had were the guards ranging from Beginner to Grandmaster Stage Cultivators and... a woman Nux knew all too well.
Sensing Thyra's presence, who seemed to be cultivating with her eyes closed, he couldn't help but smile inwardly. He wanted to approach the woman, however, he knew it was a mistake. A mistake he would not make.
Shaking his head, Nux decided to bring his attention back to what was in front of him. Looking at the silver-haired man sitting cross-legged on his bed, Nux couldn't help but chuckle.
Even though the man had an emotionless face as he cultivated, Nux could read the traces of worries reflected on his face quite easily.
No, he wasn't the master of reading expressions or something like that and in this case, he didn't need to be one to understand the man's problems. After all, he was the root of all his problems.
His attack on the Head Maid Edda Osburn failed because the assassins he sent 'mysteriously' lost their consciousness in the middle of their mission and after that, the Head Maid stopped leaving the Royal Castle and stopped all communications with him. Not only that, the vengeful maid made sure to 'overwork' her dear subordinate, Edrea Fox, the woman he had chosen to be the next Head Maid after he dealt with Edda.
Edrea was in no state to contact him, not just her, as if the maid knew all his 'connections' inside the Royal Mansion, she made sure to make them work tirelessly, so much so that let alone thinking about schemes, even having time to breathe or sigh seemed like a luxury to them.
It was a mental torture!
Not just for his subordinates, but also for him, who had lost all his connections inside the Royal Mansion, leading to 'them' putting more and more pressure on him!
That woman was clearly no ordinary woman!
She was an Evil Bitch!
Alger was having a hard time thinking about his future actions, he knew he needed to think something, he needed to come up with a countermeasure to deal with that annoying woman.
What the poor guy did not know was that the 'annoying woman' was the least of his worries.
After all, he was currently being stared at by a being much scarier than her.
"Alright, let's finish this."
Nux spoke, stretching his body, with a wave of his hand, the Essence inside his body moved, sealing the surroundings and then, BOOOM
He punched Alger's face.
The punch was so strong that because of the impact, his nose caved him, his skull cracked up, his eyes watered up, lips stuck into his teeth, and teeth were pushed even deeper into his gums, yes, with just a single punch, the man's entire face structure changed into something horrifying. The process was agonizing, however, before Alger could even react to the agonizing pain and scream in response, his body was sent flying because of the impact and as he was about to clash with the wall that would lead to his neck folding in a manner never seen before, Nux appeared in front of the wall and... Slap
He slapped the man to the ground, subduing him within 3 seconds.
After all, there was only so much a mere Grand Master Stage Mana Cultivator could do against a Complete Cultivator, even if Nux was only a Master Stage Cultivator, it didn't make any difference, after all, he was far superior to any other Master Stage Cultivator because of his Essence, not to mention his weaker version of Zenith Flow in his body.
Now that he was more used to his body, dealing with even King Stage Cultivators wasn't a problem, as for Emperors...
Nux still wasn't sure about it.
Normal Emperors, he knew he could defeat because of his superior skills, sure, the Emperors were much much much stronger and faster than him, but the 'extra second' Zenith Flow gave him was much more absurd than what many would think. His body reacting to enemies' movements on its own was a big advantage in battles where even seconds counted.
As for the 'pressure' the Emperors used to overpower Phase One Cultivators?
Please, that pressure was nothing more than a burst of raw Mana to incapacitate others, how would an inferior form of energy work against Nux who cultivates an energy much more absurd than it?
Honestly, with Nux's fighting experience and advantages, cultivators here weren't a big deal for them, only one who could probably threaten him would be Nawdren, and that too, only because his current body wasn't enough to fight him, even if he could react to his movements, he would still need his body to be fast enough to deal with the Pseudo Sage.
Emperors, he could still kill but...
One of the Emperors... the strongest one, in fact...
Was someone he could not deal with.
After all, facing his wife, even if it was just her illusionary self, was not something Nux could do.
He didn't wish to hurt her and subduing an Emperor, especially someone with a personality like Astaria...
Nux knew he had better chance of fighting and winning against Azriel.
After all, to 'defeat' and 'subdue' Astaria, he would need to 'break' her, something his heart couldn't bear.
In the end, Nux just shook his head and stopped thinking about it, everything will be solved as long as everything goes according to his plans.
And the initial phase of his plans.
"Alger Bannermane, are you willing to be my Slave?"
"Say yes."
"...W-What? W-Who awre ywou...?"
