Chapter 816 What Would I Get If I Win?



"The Aldarda City is 6 hours away from here."

Astaria informed.

"So what were you doing in this forest?"

Nux questioned.

The two of them were currently walking around the forest holding each other's hands.

"There were some things I wanted to test out, so I came here to hunt a few beasts."

Astaria replied.

Nux glanced at Astaria and his golden eyes shined,

[Name: Astaria Leander.]

[Age: 324]

[Mana Cultivation: Emperor.]

[Body Cultivation: Mortal.]

[Race: Human(Medium)]

[Occupation: Nux's Strongest Wife.]

[LVL: 70 --> 79]

[Battle Power-120,423 --> 231,887]

[Potential – 10,000,000]

'231,887 huh…

As expected…'

Nux commented inwardly.

If we keep Allura aside, then Astaria has the highest battle power compared to all his wives.

And honestly, Nux had a feeling that even if Allura and Astaria fought, Astaria would be the one who would come out on top.

The reason why Allura's Battle Power was high was because of her Bloodline. She had turned into a Demon and Nux knew exactly how strong her bloodline was, however, this didn't mean Allura could actually defeat opponents whose Battle Power is 300,000.

She still needed time to get used to her new body.

Also, Succubus wasn't exactly a race that specializes in fighting.

Astaria, on the other hand, was completely different.

Just from the way she handled that 8-Star Beast, Nux was sure.

She was in a completely different league compared to his other wives.

"You really are craving a completely new path for yourself huh…"

Nux commented.

"I am not the only one who walks on this path, Nux."

Astaria replied.

"Hm?"

"There have been cultivators who have learned Sword Aura on their own in the past as well. Akibrus Valhein, our ancestor, was one of these Cultivators as well."

"How do you know all this?"

"What? Do you think the only thing I did this past year was aiming to get stronger?"

"Uhhh… yes…?"

"Nux Leander, let me make this clear.

You may think of me as a fool who chases after power, and I won't blame you, you met me when I was at my top. Other than chasing power, I had nothing interesting to do.

However, don't forget, I once held a position where my decision could influence the destiny of the Strongest Kingdom.

Do you really think I achieved that with just my strength alone?

Also, don't forget, I am the one responsible for finding out most of the things there are related to forming a clan."

"Yes Yes, my wife is amazing, I was wrong." Nux didn't even try to fight.

"It is good that you know," Astaria spoke.

Nux chuckled as he pulled Astaria's waist towards him.

"I would like to know more and more about you, my lovely Star~"

"A-Anyways, as I was saying, Akibrus was also one of the people who had learned Sword Aura." Astaria tried to keep her composure and continued with the story.

Nux smiled, he leaned closer to Astaria and questioned,

"Isn't that a good thing then? If there are people who have done it before, there must be some records left, you can simply copy what they did an-"

"It is not that simple." Astaria shook her head.

Her expression turned serious.

"Great Sage… that's as far as I can go…

Or that's what I learned from others.

Sword Aura is an impressive technique that gives quite a huge boost to the cultivator, most Cultivators who practice Sword Aura are stronger than cultivators of similar stages, however, they say there is a limit to the sword.

The basic behind the Sword Aura is simple, you infuse condensed Mana into a Sword, turning it into a lethal weapon that can cut through anything. The more Mana you infuse, the stronger your sword gets, however,

There is a certain threshold to the amount of Mana you can infuse inside the sword and if you break that threshold, your sword would turn into dust.

It doesn't matter what metal you use to create your sword, or how strong your sword is, the overflowing Mana would destroy the internal structure of the sword, turning it into a scrap material.

And that threshold, it arrives at Great Sage Level.

A Great Sage cannot infuse his entire Mana into the Sword, and since he cannot do that, fighting against opponents of a similar level using Sword Aura is impossible."

"So what you are saying is that a Sword Aura user needs to rely on conventional methods once she reaches the level of a Great Sage?"

Nux questioned with a frown on his face.

This wasn't good…

Astaria worked too hard for it to just end at a mere Great Sage level.

Also, according to the System, the Potential Astaria had was 10,000,000, it was equal to Allura, who had a Saint-level Bloodline…

There is no way someone like Astaria can be stuck at the Great Sage level.

"A normal Sword Aura user will be stuck at Great Sage level."

Suddenly, Astaria commented.

She then looked into Nux's eyes and announced confidently,

"I am different.

I won't be following them.

As I said, I will create my own path.

Great Sage?

I will push through to the Divine Stage with Sword Aura alone.

Just watch me."

The confident aura radiated out of Astaria made Nux smile.

"I will always watch you, my Star.

I can never get tired of it."

"G-Good.

A-Anyways!

Are you ready to be defeated by me!?"

Astaria shouted as she quickly took out her sword and pointed it at Nux.

Nux however, just chuckled at her slightly red face, he slowly grabbed the blade of Astaria's sword, she didn't move her blade either, fearing that it might hurt Nux.

"Why bother?

Don't you know it already?

You will lose."

"That's wishful thinking." Astaria snorted.

"Wait…

You really do believe you can defeat me, don't you?"

Suddenly, Nux's expression changed.

"What? You think I was joking around?" Astaria questioned.

Nux observed Astaria's face for a while, then, a playful smile appeared on his face, he moved his head close to Astaria's and questioned,

"What would I get if I win?"

"W-What do you want?"

Astaria questioned back.

He scanned Astaria's entire body with a greedy look on his face, then, Nux's smile widened.
