Chapter 837 Ember And Astaria.



"Make sure to advertise this battle as much as you can, alright? Even though no one would be able to watch it, I still need some rumors so that I can push my clan's reputation. I will leave that to you, okay?"

*Bam*

"THAT BASTARD!!"

Recalling what Nux said before he left, Vindan punched the table in front of him in rage, breaking it into pieces.

"He is too arrogant."

Xavien spoke with a solemn look on his face.

"Are we… really going to advertise this Challenge?" Aiden questioned with an unsure look on his face.

This pattern…

It was way too familiar.

Nux first tempted Graner to challenge him, then he manipulated Graner into advertising his battle, which he did and gathered a huge crowd, and in front of that huge crowd… Graner was defeated.

What made it more humiliating was the Graner was the one who did everything. It was as if he excitedly prepared a coffin for his own death.

It was incredibly foolish when one thinks about it, Aiden even cursed Graner in his head for falling for a trap this obvious.

But…

Wasn't he in pretty much the same situation…?

Now that he thinks about it, Graner never did something wrong.

How could he have predicted that he, a Sage Stage Body Cultivator, would be defeated by an Emperor? From his position, everything was going according to his plan, there was no reason for him to back down.

Just like they do not have any reason to back down right now…

Aiden was worried.

The ExceedoGenesis was full of mystery.

What if… they successfully pulled it off…?

What if… they defeat them?

Aiden thought but soon, he shook his head repeatedly.

That is not possible.

There is no way they would be defeated in a situation like this. How is that even possible?

"No, we are not going to advertise anything this time."

Suddenly, Vindan spoke up.

"Huh…?"

Aiden's expression changed.

Was… was the Clan Leader unsure as well…?

If that isn't the case, then why would he not promote it? Wasn't restoring our reputation the main reason they accepted this challenge?

"Why would we not!? Are you scared!?" Miliana couldn't control herself and questioned.

"Miliana, I have been excusing your rash behavior for a while now.

Do not force me to make a move."

Vindan glared at Miliana and threatened.

"I… I apologize…"

Miliana sat back on her seat as she apologized.

Vindan may have better self-control now… but Miliana would never forget what kind of man he was.

Going against him… Miliana knew that killing herself was a better option than doing something as foolish as that.

"There is no reason for us to advertise this battle.

What are we going to advertise?

Destiny is fighting against a new clan in a 100 vs 13 battle?

What's there to advertise about this?

Won't it just destroy our reputation even further?

The condition of keeping an absolute secret, it is actually better for us.

We do not have to advertise anything right now, once we destroy ExceedoGenesis, we can do all these menial tasks then."

"This way, nobody would know that it was a 100 v 13, and would just think that we destroyed ExceedoGenesis since they dared to go against us."

Miliana, who finally understood Vindan's plan smiled.

"That is correct."

Vindan smiled as well.

And seeing that smile, Miliana, and the other 3 Great Sages couldn't help but gulp.

Yes, this was their Leader.

Ruthless, scheming, and gets whatever he wants.

"Alright then, shall we prepare for the upcoming challenge now?" Xavien spoke.

"Yes, call back all the top members of the Clan, whether they are on leave, or on missions, I don't care. I need them back within 4 days.

In this battle, the Destiny will use its full force."

Vindan declared.

"Do we abandon the Missions?"

Xavien questioned with a frown on his face.

Their clan was already facing so many troubles right now, if they abandon the Missions, it would not leave a good image.

"It doesn't matter, say it is an emergency.

Getting rid of the ExceedoGenesis is much more important right now."

Vindan declared.

"What about Graner? He is also one of the strongest people in our Clan."

"Tell them that he has a chance to redeem his mistakes, if he performs well in this battle, I will forgive him."

"What? You are going to forgive that fool!?"

Miliana couldn't believe what she was hearing.

That bastard caused so much trouble, are they just going to let them go? Vindan of all people would do that?

"Of course not. I just need him to participate in the last battle,

Of his life."

Vindan spoke with a cruel smile on his face.

Miliana understood what he was talking about and smiled.

"I understand." She nodded.

"I will go talk to him." Saying those words, she turned around and left the room.

The others left and started tending to their things as well. Vindan, who was left alone in his room just closed his eyes and started cultivating.

In this battle, he will absolutely destroy that bastard.

…

On the other hand, in the Training Area of ExceedoGenesis, the members of ExceedoGenesis sparred with each other, but suddenly,

"Nux, I need to talk to you…" Astaria walked towards Nux who was sparring with Melia.

Nux glanced at her, his eyes then fell on Ember, who was kneeling on the floor, gulping down a Healing Potion with a frustrated expression on her face.

Ember was different than others, she had affinity with two different elements, in this past year, out of all the wives who stayed with Nux, Ember's rate of improvement was the highest.

She, who could use Spells of two different elements had become the strongest out of all his wives.

However, in front of Astaria, Ember fell short again.

No matter what she tried, whether it was her Fire Spells or her Wind Spells, Astaria's sword cut through it all. Ember was forced to use Wind Bombs to push herself back again and again, while trying to continue firing Fire Spells at Astaria.

However, in the end, Astaria's sword was too strong.

Ember couldn't continue fighting.

And from her expression, Nux could see that this disturbed Ember.

He decided to talk to her later, however, right now, he turned towards Astaria and questioned,

"What is it?"
