Chapter 290 290 Nice Tactics

"Take out the weak to surround the strong, nice tactics" he chuckled as he thought of it. Nexus found a sense of humor in the situation, admiring the cleverness behind the enemy's strategy.

Inwardly, Nexus weighed the implications of the situation. "Seemed like Fitch is more coolheaded than I thought, he is not acting personal, he is acting strategic." He said thoughtfully, "They're playing their cards, and I happen to be the one on the table right now." He said mockingly The realization spurred him to action, bringing a surge of determination to his demeanor.

"What a delightful irony, I should make things easier and fun" Nexus mused silently, maintaining a facade of obliviousness, well aware that someone was likely observing him. He had to play his part convincingly while orchestrating his own countermeasures.

Amidst the apparent calm, Nexus's mind raced with a flurry of considerations. The imminent threat was a testament to the escalating tensions between the Howard and Russell families. "This is just the beginning," he mused, recognizing that the looming danger was a mere precursor to more significant conflicts on the horizon.

Nexus swiftly began formulating a plan, leveraging the system's alert to his advantage. His lack of substantial mana made him a target, but it also gave him a vital warning system and vital weapon to strike when they list expect. He navigated the delicate balance of the situation, strategic calculations intertwining with a touch of amusement at the irony of his predicament.

His thoughts focused on the impending conflict and its potential ramifications. "This attack isn't just about me. It's a prelude to a larger confrontation, one that could escalate the tensions between the families to a critical point. I have to make sure to reduce the impact as much as possible" Nexus was now not just a passive observer but a key player in the escalating power struggle.

In the midst of chaos, Nexus appeared calm, but his mind was a whirlwind of plans. He knew the danger and was ready. He was playing a strategy game amidst the rising conflict between the Howards and the Russells. But he sensed an enemy nearby. Nexus stayed calm, not wanting to give away his awareness. He pretended to be unaware, waiting for the enemy to come closer.

Nexus's thoughts as he waited patiently for the oncoming danger "In this chaos, one wrong move could be disastrous. The Howards and the Russells are close to a big fight, and I'm right in the middle. I can't let my guard down. If I show I know too soon, my plans will fall apart. I can feel the enemy coming. I need to wait, and let them think they're winning. It's risky because I can't seem to sense how strong the person approaching is, but it might give me the upper hand."

Nexus kept up his act, making himself seem open and unprepared. Every step the enemy took was a step into Nexus's trap, a trick hiding his real readiness. He moved closer, thinking he had the upper hand.

Tension hung in the air. Nexus acted as if he didn't know, while inside, he was ready for whatever would come. The enemy, too confident, walked right into Nexus's well-planned scheme.

With a strategic delay, Nexus feigned a sudden startle, letting out a convincing yell that echoed through the space, waiting for the enemy to draw closer. His heart raced, adrenaline coursing through his veins, as he prepared for the decisive moment.

As the enemy neared, Nexus swiftly accessed his system space, retrieving a concealed sword with seamless precision. With a swift and practiced motion, he lunged, aiming to disarm and neutralize the concealed assailant, plunging the blade into the shadows where the enemy hid.

The clash was swift, the blade went straight to the enemy throat, catching the enemy off-guard in the shadows, the assailant jumped back evading the first attack. As the enemy swiftly evaded Nexus's initial strike, he sent out another attack, kicked the enemy abdomen and latched closed to him, the ensuing exchange of blows was swift and calculated.

Nexus, as a master of close combat, swiftly adjusted when he saw the enemy had dodged the second attack, delivering a precise attack from an unexpected angle that caught the assailant off-guard, but the assailant was able to evade the attack by unleashing his elemental barrier.

Nexus ditched out the blade again, making sure the enemy had no way to dodge this time. The enemy saw this attack late and wanted to dodged but it was like the attack covered all length, the assailant crossed his blade in front of him to block the attack but Nexus blade seemed to have mind of its own, as it passed through the gap between the blades and slashed the assailant throat, it was a one hit kill.

Nexus, a master of combat, swiftly adjusted, delivering a precise attack from an unexpected angle that caught the assailant off-guard.

Nexus's move was precise, designed to swiftly incapacitate the target without revealing his true capabilities, ensuring the attacker couldn't raise an alarm or escape to relay the failed attempt back to their source and it was successful.

However, the victory was short-lived as sounds of turmoil echoed from other quarters of the Russell family castle. "Oh, No... Nora" Nexus's concern heightened, realizing there were multiple attackers, amplifying the imminent threat.

In a frantic rush, Nexus sprinted toward Nora's room, his heart pounding with a mix of apprehension and urgency "Please be safe Nora, please be safe." he said worriedly as he moved closer to her room.

As he arrived, a scene unfolded before him. Nora armed only with her fledgling water magic skills, valiantly fending off an assailant. "Help, somebody, help me. Get away from me, you bastards." Her scream pierced the air, a mix of fear and determination as she struggled to defend herself against the assailant's aggressive advances. When Nexus saw this he felt relieved.

Nexus swiftly assessed the situation, his mind racing with possibilities. Without hesitation, he intervened, swiftly using his own expertise to neutralize the assailant threatening Nora, granting her a momentary reprieve from the onslaught.

As the enemies, cloaked in black, launched their coordinated assault on Nora, Nexus sprang into action, he threw out his blade, the enemies detected this in time and were quick to action, they blow flew back and glance in Nexus way, he threw out punches pushing the enemies back and took their position turning his back against Nora, his quick thinking and strategic maneuver proved to be fortuitous.n-.OVeLB1n

Nora, with her enhanced mana and strength thanks to Nexus's energy infusion, wielded her water magic with newfound prowess, defending herself valiantly against the assailants' elemental attack sent by the third enemy while cursing at them.

"You dickless bastards, may your dick be cut off in your sleep, how can you think of hurting a lady." she was mentally exhausting the assailants and her strategy seemed to work. "All ladies surely deny you from laying with them because of your small dick, that's probably why you are furious."

The three assailants, swathed in black, who had encroached upon Nora were furious and regretted their actions as her words may linger on in their minds for a long time, they all launched a coordinated attack.
