Chapter 566 You Are Just Jealous.

*Clang*

Nux blocked Astaria's sword with his own, he then punched, aiming at her face, Astaria, however, just tilted her head and kicked Nux's abdomen, Nux defended the attack using his forearm, Astaria smiled and used even more force.

"!!!"

Nux's eyes widened in surprise, he wanted to use [Mirror], however, it was too late and he was sent flying back.

"Heh, you got rusty since you didn't train for the last two days."

Astaria laughed.

Nux stood up from the ground and smiled back,

"I didn't get rusty, you are just jealous that I spent all my time with my wives and you didn't see me for the last 2 days, and now you are punishing me for that."

"Tsk, stop being delusional." Astaria snorted.

"Why would I be jealous over something like that? If you don't want to train, it is your loss. Also, if it was you 2 days ago, you would have been able to use that Mirror Magic of yours to defend against my attack."

"Tsk." Nux snorted back.

"People don't get rusty just because they didn't train for the 2 days. And the reason I failed to defend against your attack was that you changed your tactics.

Normally, for the first spar of the day, you don't use Mana, it is more like a warm-up spar where you test how much I have improved, today, however, not only did you use Mana, you even used it at the last moment just to make sure that I won't have the time to block your attack."

"Haah? You think people in real life would tell you that they are going to use Mana or not?"

Astaria snorted.

"Haah? You think I would go around sparring with my enemies?"

Nux countered.

"…"

Astaria turned silent.

Nux glanced at her and smiled.

"What are you looking at?"

"Tsundere."

"What the hell does that even means?"

"Nothing."

Nux just continued to smile.

Astaria continued to boil in anger.

She knew, this man wouldn't wipe that smile off his face no matter what she says, she needed to change the topic.

"So? How was your meeting with Ricardus? It was your first time meeting him, right?"

Astaria questioned.

"Hmm? What's with the sudden question?"

"I am just curious," Astaria replied.

"To be honest, he was pathetic."

Nux stated.

"Why do you say that?" Astaria questioned with a serious look on her face.

"I went to him because I wanted to act like a third-rate winner who had just won.

I wanted to smile widely as I continue to humiliate that bastard just like any low-level scrub would do, he, however, was so pathetic that he started to beg for his life even before I could get into the zone.

Tsk, he ruined all the fun.

Pathetic."

Nux snorted and Astaria,

Well, she just glanced at Nux with a foolish look on her face.

She didn't know how to react.

Ricardus was pathetic, that she knew.

But what's with the strange fetish of acting like a third-rate villain?

Why would anyone want to do that?

Unable to contain her curiosity, Astaria questioned.

"Tsk, you won't know. Acting like a third-rate villain is fun, you just need a better target.

Just wait for it.

I am sure I will find a target soon enough.

Then I will show you how satisfying it is.

Hehehe~"

Nux laughed with a wide smile on his face.

Seeing that smile, Astaria wanted to punch that face of his.

"Anyways, they are going to leave today, correct?"

Suddenly, Nux questioned.

"Mhm, they said that they needed to look into the situation before making a battle plan," Nux replied.

"Are you sure about this? Will they be fine?"

Astaria questioned.

Nux's face turned serious as well,

"Well, the only thing I can do right now is trust them. If anything goes wrong, I am sure they will take care of it.

They all are capable women."

"They are indeed."

Astaria nodded as well.

"Alright, enough chitchat, get ready now."

Hearing those words, Nux took his battle stance, Astaria rushed towards him, this time, the Mana around her moved.

Nux's face turned serious.

This time, Astaria was serious.

He tightened his grip around his sword and at the same time, the Ground in front of him turned a little purple.

…

"D-Dynast!"

A guard rushed into the Royal Hall and spoke loudly.

"What happened?"

Ellinger, who was sitting on his throne spoke with a slight frown on his face.

He couldn't understand why his guard was acting like that.

It was unsightly.

"D-Dynast, the people from the Skyfall Kingdom are here."

The guard reported.

"Let them in."

Ellinger spoke.

At the same time, he couldn't understand,

Why was the guard acting like that?

The Skyfall Kingdom was an Ally, though the fact that they would assist in the war was not announced, many knew that they weren't enemies.

There was no reason for the guard to panic like that.

"S-Should I r-really?"

The Guard questioned.

"Huh? What do you mean? They are our esteemed guests, let them in, now."

Ellinger spoke with a cold look on his face.

"D-Dynast… t-there are 9 of them."

The guard reported.

"So what?"

"A-All of them are King Stage Cultivators."

"!!!"

Ellinger's expression changed.

He now understood why the guard was acting like that.

If 9 Stage cultivators appeared in front of the Royal Palace, anyone would act like that.

For people who didn't know about the existence of the Protector, this was a catastrophic event.

"Do not worry, let them in."

Ellinger nodded.

The guard bowed and rushed out.

Soon, 9 women walked into the Royal Hall.

All these women had covered their faces and seeing all of them, Ellinger couldn't help but gulp.

'I-Is the Skyfall K-Kingdom really that strong? 9 King Stage Cultivators…? Just how can they have so many?'

He was sure that the Kingdom had more.

Their general isn't here, the King, the man who came with Lady Amaya, he himself could count 3 more Cultivators.

'Minimum of 12 King Stage Cultivators…'

Ellinger gulped again.

He now realized why the Skyfall Kingdom is known as the Strongest.

"It is nice to meet you again, Lord Ellinger."

Amaya greeted.

"L-Likewise, Lady Amaya." Ellinger smiled back.

"We are here to see the situation of the war-"

"About that, Lady Amaya."

Suddenly, Ellinger interrupted.

"We wanted to change the conditions a little."
