Chapter 455 Devouring Mist is different.
455 Devouring Mist is different.
“Your Physique. How did you increase its Mastery level so quickly?”
Nux questioned.
He was doubtful. When Amaya was fighting with all those assassins, he was looking at everything with his [Sense], and he saw that she used Devouring Mist to Kill all those Grand Master Stage Cultivators.
With just Acquired Level Mastery, she shouldn’t be able to do that. She needed Advance Level Mastery over her physique to perform something like that.
Therefore, when Nux saw her today, he used [Eye of Discerning] and,
[Name: Amaya Skyfall ]
[Age: 23]
[Mana Cultivation: King.]
[Body Cultivation: Mortal.]
[Occupation: The leader of the Thousand Information Chamber.]
[Race: Human]
[Physique: Devouring Mist Demon Physique-Advance]
[Talent: King]
[LVL: 61]
[HP: 710/710]
[MP: 1440/1440]
[STR: 68]
[AGL: 74]
[VIT: 71]
[STM: 69]
[INT: 144]
[DEF: 58]
Yes, Amaya had managed to increase the Mastery Level of her Physique in less than a year.
Hearing Nux’s question, a proud smile appeared on Amaya’s face.
“Hehe~ I was about to tell you that. I had thought of a more romantic way to do it though.”
She pouted.
Nux looked at Amaya, who was sulking like a little child and couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile.
‘What a snake.’
‘Attention craving bitch.’
‘Hmph!’
Nux’s women, however, just snorted when they saw her acting like that.
Of course, though they were dissatisfied, they didn’t interrupt.
They knew it as well, if they were in Amaya’s position, they would have done the same thing.
Didn’t Thyra take a big advantage and went to another country with Nux alone? Tsk Tsk, what a dream come true.
“Alright alright, I will pretend that I don’t know about it, is that alright?”
“It won’t be the same.”
Amaya shook her head.
“Alright, whatever.” Suddenly, she just shrugged, then she looked into Nux’s eyes and muttered,
“Nux, I will tell you something very very amazing, however, I need a reward.”
“What reward?” Nux questioned.
A big smile appeared on Amaya’s face as she glanced at all the women standing in the room.
The women’s faces twitched.
Even Ember, who prides herself in being coolheaded was annoyed.
“Come to my room, I’ll tell you there.”
Amaya spoke.
“Right now?” Nux frowned.
“Of course, the earlier the better. Trust me, it will be worth it.”
Nux didn’t know what to do,
They were in a meeting, after all.
“Just go, don’t worry.”
Suddenly, Felberta spoke.
Nux turned towards her, he then noticed Thyra who was nodding as well.
Lane, Skyla, and Allura nodded as well.
Nux frowned, suddenly, Amaya grabbed her hand and pulled him away.
In the end, Nux didn’t say anything and walked away with Amaya.
After the two of them left, Skyla walked towards Evane and grabbed her hand.
“???”
Evane tilted her head in confusion.
Skyla just smiled, she then pulled and her made her sit on the bed.
Then, she sat next to her, and with a gentle smile on her face, she questioned.
“Are you okay?”
“What do you mean?”
Evane frowned.
Thyra stepped forward,
“Your brother’s dead, don’t let it affect you.”
“Indeed, don’t keep anything inside you, if you want to share anything, we are here.”
Allura nodded.
“We are your sisters, after all.” Felberta smiled.
Hearing those words, a smile appeared on Evane’s face.
She then glanced at everyone present inside the room and chuckled,
“Didn’t you guys help me enough already?”
“What do you mean?”
Skyla frowned.
“You gave up on your session time so that Nux can stay with me, didn’t you?”
Evane smiled.
Hearing her answer, a smile appeared on Felberta’s face,
“That is nothing, we can do at least this much for you, can’t we?”
“Indeed.”
The others nodded.
“Of course, you would have to pay us back in the future.”
Edda chuckled.
Evane pouted, “I am still a little down.”
“Don’t worry, we won’t be taking your time.”
Allura placed her hand on top of Evane’s hands and smiled.
Evane smiled back.
“Any time soon.”
Edda completed Allura’s sentence and Evane pouted again.
The women laughed.
“Still, remember to talk to us if you need anything, alright?”
Felberta spoke.
“Yes, I will.”
Evane nodded. She could feel it, the family love that she craved, she knew that she could experience that here.
With her sisters.
The women then continued with their conversation.
On the other side, Amaya, who pulled Nux into her room made him sit on the bed and smiled,
“Alright then, let me tell you what I found.”
“Please enlighten me, Lady Amaya.”
Nux bowed dramatically.
Amaya chuckled, then, her expression turned serious and she continued,
“According to the book, the more we used this Devouring Mist, the faster we can increase the Mastery level, correct?”
“Yes, that is the reason you started this whole ‘Curse’ thingy.”
Nux nodded.
“Yes, I wanted to increase my Mastery Level, therefore, I surrounded myself with Devouring Mist. However, something didn’t feel right.
The Process was too slow.
It was as if something was missing and since I had a lot of time to think, I started experimenting.”
Nux continued to listen to Amaya’s words attentively.
Amaya then raised her hand, Devouring Mist seeped out of her hand, it then moved towards the nearby Vase and surrounded it.
Soon, the Vase disappeared.
Nux frowned in confusion.
This shouldn’t be possible.
The Devouring Mist is only able to ‘devour’ flesh, Bones, and all that.
It cannot devour just anything.
How did she do it?
“Try to understand The Devouring Mist.”
Suddenly, Amaya spoke.
“Understand?”
Nux frowned in confusion.
“Yes, understand it. Don’t treat it like a simple Ability, only using it and never bothering with anything else. Neither should you treat it like a Skill, training to get better.
Devouring Mist is different.
Understand its Principles.
Understand how it works.
Try to use those principles to your advantage,
Only then would you be able to increase your Mastery.”
“So you are telling me that the method the Book gave us is-“
“It’s useless, too wasteful. It will take ages to improve if you follow it.”
Amaya shrugged.
“…”
Nux turned silent.
He knew Amaya was intelligent, but for her to practically ‘invent’ a whole method.
This is just…
‘Haahh…’
In the end, Nux just sighed.
“Alright, how about you share all the Principles you have learned with me?”
