Chapter 492 Did You Really Think You Could Run Away?
“R-Riona? W-W-What are you t-talking about? W-We are here because the K-King ordered us to.”
Vloyd’s expression changed and he stuttered.
Hearing his question, a frown appeared on Nux’s face and he tilted his head in confusion.
“Hmm? The King? Was King involved as well?”
“That can’t be true, the relationship between the King and Riona is not good.” Evane shook her head and informed.
“Then why…” Nux wanted to question but stopped midway.
However, even though he didn’t complete his sentence, Vloyd and Razor realized what he was talking about.
“She must have manipulated the King.”
Evane answered. She then glanced at Vloyd and Razor and questioned with an amused look on her face,
“Was your relationship with Riona bad? I can’t think of any other reason why she would sacrifice King Stage Cultivators.”
Vloyd’s and Razor’s expressions changed.
Nux finally realized,
“Ahhh, so that’s it, I was wondering why she did this… You were her enemies. Hahaha~ She is truly an incredible woman, to manipulate the King and even get rid of two King Stage Cultivators who have bad blood with her.
She is indeed Amaya’s mother.”
“Indeed, she is incredible.” Evane nodded as well.
“W-What are you talking about!?” Vloyd questioned in anger and fear.
“Well, I don’t see any reason to explain anything to you and as they say,
The dead don’t need to know the reasons.”
“”You bastard! We are not dead yet!””
Vloyd and Razor shouted at the same time, and as if they were planning it for a long time, the two of them created a huge fireball and shot at Nux at the same time.
*BOOOM*
A huge explosion was heard, Raguel was sent flying due to the impact, Lucas was even worse, the man lost his consciousness, however, the one who had it the worst was Cyneheard. The old man’s limbs were pierced through and the spikes piercing them were connected to the ground, therefore, even though he wanted to move away, he couldn’t and was forced to face the entire impact on his own.
The huge blast burned the skin on his face.
“AggghhhhHhhhh!”
He shouted in pain.
However, not a single being cared about it. Vloyd, Razor, and Raguel’s attention were fixed on the center of the blast, which was still covered with smoke.
Or… at least what Raguel thought.
In truth, Vloyd and Razor had already made a run for it. Whether the attack worked or not didn’t matter, staying here was foolish. There was no need to take any risks, especially after knowing that this Mission was a trap.
Also, they needed to report it to the King, Riona had gone too far this time.
That bitch tried to kill them, she had to pay for it.
Just thinking about it angered the two of them. They increased their speed even more, however, suddenly,
“Ugghh… what took you so long? I have been waiting…”
Vloyd and Razor paused and looked at the man in front of them with shocked looks on their faces.
‘H-How…’
They couldn’t believe it.
Let alone this monster was affected by their attack, he was even waiting for them here…
Just how is this possible?
Seeing their reaction, Nux questioned with a curious expression on his face.
“You know how thorough Riona is, correct? Did you really think you could run away?”
“NOW!!!”
Of course, the two of them weren’t willing to have a chat with him. Their lives were on the line here.
The two of them shouted at the same time, then they ran in the opposite direction.
Yes, they planned to sacrifice one of them.
The others who would survive would report everything to the King.
Nux just sighed, he disappeared and appeared in front of Razor,
He had already given up.
However, soon, a sword appeared in his hand and he took his fighting stance,
“I won’t go down without a fight.”
“You are finally willing to talk, I thought you would try to run again.”
“Heh, you are just lucky that you didn’t meet me at my prime.”
Razor chuckled.
He was speaking anything that came into his mind.
He wanted to waste time, after all.
Nux didn’t mind it either.
“Oh? Were you really that strong at your prime?”
Seeing that he was still talking to him, Razor smiled inwardly and continued,
“Heh, dealing with people like you would have been a simple task.”
“Ahh, what about the Emperors? Could you fight against them?”
“Hmm? You even know about the Emperors?”
“Why would I not know about them? Hey, don’t change the topic, answer me, what was his name again? Ahh, right, Amletus. So? Could you defeat Amletus when you were at your prime?”
Nux questioned and Razor’s expression changed,
“How do you know his name?”
“Riona told me of course,” Nux replied.
“What is your relationship with Riona?”
“I won’t tell.” Nux turned away.
“…”
Razor frowned.
“You still haven’t answered my question yet.”
Nux reminded. Razor realized,
“Well, of course, defeating Lord Amletus is impossible, I was strong, but not strong enough.”
Even though he was bragging, he couldn’t brag that much. Defeating Amletus, even in his imagination was impossible.
“Ahh, so you weren’t that strong.” Nux nodded.
Razor, however, completely ignored his words and questioned.
“So? What is your relationship with Riona?”
“Why should I tell you? You are about to die anyway.” Nux shrugged.
“Treat it as my last wish.”
“Hmmmmmm,”
Nux started pondering.
“Alright, if you say it that way… I can’t deny.
Riona is my wife’s mother. So she is my mother-in-law.” Nux replied.
“Mother-in-law?” Razor frowned.
Riona only had 1 child, and that child was cursed…
What was her name again…?
Razor started pondering.
“Amaya?”
“Mhm, correct.”
Nux nodded with a smile on his face.
“Wait, she was married to Ricardus, why are you calling her your wife?” Razor frowned, then, his expression changed,
“Did that bitch cheat on Ricardus!?”
Hearing his words, Nux’s expression changed,
‘Fuck…’
Razor realized what he has done.
A sword appeared on Nux’s hand and Razor prepared himself to embrace death.
He had already wasted enough time, Vloyd must have run far away now, there is no way this man could possibly catch hi-
However, suddenly, Razor’s expression changed.
