Chapter 1033 You Don't Have Something Better To Show

1033 You don't have something better to show?

"Let the Battle Begin!"

Feeling intimidated by Vyriana, Stella quickly skipped all the formalities and announced the start of the match.

The audience did find this start a bit abrupt, however, since they were all looking forward to the battle, they didn't care and,

"YYYEAAAHHHHH!!!"

"LORD LUCIOUS!!!"

"LORD ELIJAH!!!"

The people started screaming for their Favorite Heroes, the women, on the other hand, were on the opposite side.

"LORD DEVIL! DEFEAT THEM ALL! WE ARE WITH YOU TILL THE DAY WE DIE!!"

The Incubus had charmed most of the women in the Audience.

The 'Devil' chuckled when he saw that. His eyes fell on Vyriana, wanting to see his reaction, Vyriana, however, was as cold as ice,

"Remember the condition."

She only cared about the battle

Nux sighed, then, he stretched his body but just as he was about to attack,

*Step* *Step*

The Dragon Hero stepped back.

Nux frowned in confusion.

"What are you doing?"

Vyriana narrowed her eyes as she glanced at Vedier.

"Lady Vyriana, I came here because you ordered me to, but even if it is your order, my pride refuses to fight a Great Sage!"

"..." Vyriana tilted her head in confusion.

Seeing that she was not convinced, Vedier continued,n0velUSb.c0m

"Lady Vyriana ordered us to battle him, so I am sure that he is not any normal Incubus, however, no matter what, in the end, he is still a Great Sage, a Phase Two Cultivator, I, on the other hand, am a Semi Saint, Phase Three Cultivator, we two are in a completely different league.

I refuse to gang up and fight someone weaker than me. My Pride would not allow me to do that."

Vedier spoke as he looked into Vyriana's eyes without any fear.

Vyriana was taken aback, this was the first time one of these seven brats had looked at her like that. Looking into Vedier's eyes, she started thinking.

"Heh."

But then, Nux laughed out loud.

"Your 'Pride' won't allow you to gang up on someone weaker than you, huh?

You are a prideful being."

"If one can not even hold up his pride, then what good is he?" Vedier questioned as he looked into Nux's eyes.

"Upholding your pride, that is good, I agree."

Nux continuously nodded his head. Then, he glanced at Vedier and laughed,

"But what you are currently doing? Aren't you doing quite the opposite of that?

How are you upholding your pride by making a fool out of yourself?"

"What are you saying?" Vedier narrowed his eyes.

"Won't you be making a fool out of yourself if you step back right now saying how you wouldn't 'gang up' against the weak and then later get your ass kicked by this weaker man than you?" Nux questioned with a playful smile on his face.

Hearing his words, the other Heroes were taken aback, they couldn't believe a Great Sage was talking like that in front of a Semi Saint, not to mention not an ordinary Semi Saint but Vedier, the Dragon Hero.

"You seem confident in your ability."

Vedier commented. He didn't seem offended by this Incubus's words.

"I am,"

Nux replied.

"Well then just like how you are confident in your ability, I am confident in mine."

Vedier replied calmly, then, he looked into Nux's purple eyes and,

"Even if you come at me with everything you have, you will lose.

So rather than teaming up with other heroes to defeat you, harming my pride in the process, I will simply stay back and let my other fellow Heroes fight you."

"Heeh? You are much more arrogant than you look!" Nux commented.

"You become confident when you reach a certain level," Vedier replied.

"A certain level huh..."

Nux repeated Vedier's words, then, he glanced at Vyriana and,

"Lady Vyriana, you were right.

These people really are a bit too arrogant, well Whatever, I am glad they are like the way they are, why else would you hire me to crush them if they didn't have this flaw?

Guess I should be thankful."

Nux commented and hearing his words, the Heros' expressions changed.

Lady Vyriana hired him to crush them...?

What...?

Even Vedier was slightly taken aback and looked at Vyriana, waiting for an explanation. An explanation he would never get.

Vyriana knew Nux was using her name to agitate them, she, however, didn't care. She couldn't care less about what the children were doing, she only wanted results. Whether Nux wins or loses, she will gain something from both outcomes.

Seeing her staying silent, the Heroes realized.

The Incubus wasn't lying, Lady Vyriana did hire him, that was the reason why she ordered them to fight him, an Incubus whom they had never heard about.

"Anyways, so you will be staying at the back, correct?" Nux questioned as he stretched his body and glanced at Vedier.

"That is correct, I believe other 6 heroes would be enough to defeat someone like you."

Vedier replied, this time, his tone seemed a bit different than before.

"Well, do whatever you like, just so you know, if you feel like your teammates will lose and they need your help, don't hesitate to jump in, honestly, there are already 6 of you, the 7th won't make much of a difference in my eyes."

"You are much more arrogant than me," Vedier commented.

"The two of us are different, Vedier.

When I do it, it is not arrogance.

It is confidence."

Vedier simply narrowed his eyes, then, he glanced at Elijah and,

"I will be leaving him to you."

"Don't worry, we will handle him." Elijah replied, taking the role of the leader of this 'team'.

Nux glanced at the rest of the heroes and,

"None of you wants to step back because of your pride, do you?"

"Well, although all 6 of us are not needed to defeat someone like you, since Lady Vyriana was the one who chose you and you were the one who decided the format of this battle, we will respect that and fight you together.

I hope you won't cry that the Seven Heroes bullied you later,"

Lucious snorted.

"Of course, I promise I won't be the one crying"

Nux chuckled.

"Shall we start the battle then?" He questioned.

"Let's go." Elijah nodded.

As soon as he said that, Nux appeared right in front of him and punched.

His punch, however, wasn't simple, Nux used *Essence* to boost his punch, just like how people in the Forgotten Continent used Mana to boost their strength, acting like Pseudo Body Cultivators.

It did increase their strength to some extent, however, when Nux, a Complete Cultivator used it, that too, with *Essence* instead of Mana, the strength behind his punch was boosted to another level.

Elijah tried to block Nux's punch but,

*Boom*

The impact was too strong and it sent his body flying. However, before Elijah could fall to the ground, his body turned into white Mist, nullifying all the impact. Not wanting to miss that chance, Nux used raw *Essence*, trying to capture Elijah in his Mist Form, however, before he could do it, Lucious attacked him with his sword.

*Clank*

Nux blocked the attack with his own sword.

Then, he noticed his shadow moving. Activating his [Sense], he realized that. Norana, the Shadow Demon was winning, she was inside his shadow.

Nux jumped into the air.

He then noticed a Blue colored Magic Circle shining brightly.

It was Ariana, she was casting a big spell.

A Spell that Nux should interrupt, he, however, simply waited with his arms behind his back.

Ariana narrowed her eyes, not liking how Nux was looking down on her. However, seeing that he had no intention to stop her from casting, she gathered even more Mana and changed her spell midway.

Suddenly, the atmosphere on the stage changed, the ground under Ariana turned into ice, cold blizzards could

be seen forming around her, her hair floated in the air, with her icy cold eyes, she glanced at Nux and,

"Polar Vortex Strike."

She muttered.

A Huge Ice Boulder formed in front of her. Then, she moved her hand towards Nux and the 5-meter huge boulder shot toward him at an insane speed.

This was the Ice Queen's Daughter's strongest spell. A spell that many of her enemies feared, however,

Nux simply moved his hand forward.

"[Mirror]"

He used the System Ability.

This time, however, it was not just a simple 10 cm big shield that had appeared, this time, around 100 [Mirrors] had appeared.

Nux used *Essence* to 'separate' all the Mirrors from each other, giving the System an Illusion that he is only using [Mirror] one time while using 100 in real life.

The 100 Mirrors appeared in front of Nux, with their strength boosted by *Essence*, and, Ariana's spell clashed with the big shield formed by 100 Mirrors and,

*BOOOOOOOOMM*

The impact of her spell spread all over the stage.

Everywhere but the place Nux was standing at.

The Incubus didn't even have a scratch on him.

He had taken the Elven Hero's strongest spell and,

"You don't have something better to show? I gave you 10 seconds for this, you know?"

The look of sheer disappointment on his face was mind-blowing.
