Chapter 1052 Bunch Of Halflings, One Or Two, Doesn't Really Matter.

1052 Bunch of halflings, one or two, doesn't really matter.

"Alright Nux,

Let's stop these games,

I'll ask my question directly,

How did you turn into an Incubus?"

Lyriana questioned as she looked into Nux's eyes.

Nux was taken aback, however, he didn't let it show on his face, not to mention he already had a rough idea in his mind that this was why these two women were here.

This was also why Vyriana was acting like this.

Her saying, 'I won't save you this time' meant that now that his secret was revealed, she won't be erasing everyone's memory to save him like she did the last time. Of course, Nux didn't need her help either.

"What are you talking about, Lady Lyriana? I am standing right in front of you as a complete human. How am I giving you an impression of being an Incubu-"

"You are the Devil and I don't try to deny it because it is pointless, I am not guessing here, or trying to say unusual things to get into your mind,

I already know

You are the Devil."

Lyriana spoke in a solemn tone. There was not a hint of doubt on her face.

Nux, of course, didn't care about that. He stuck with his plan.

"Lady Lyriana, although I can do what the Devil just even more easily than he did. I am not the same guy.

I can guarantee you,

I am stronger than the Devil and I am not him."

"The two of you use the same energy."

Suddenly, Lyriana spoke up.

This time, even Ambrosia was confused.

"Same energy?" She questioned. She had no clue what Lyriana was talking about.

Honestly, she was actually quite curious as well.

Her knowing about Nux being the Devil was simple, she had trained that man, she knew the extent of his abilities and she also knew this man had the ability to turn into an Incubus and a Vampire.

Even though his appearance was different than before, some of his features couldn't be changed, not to mention those strange abilities of his, Ambrosia, who had observed Nux from close could easily tell who 'the Devil' was the moment the fight started getting a little heated and he revealed his abilities.

Lyriana, however, was different.

Just like all other World Leaders, Lyriana had only seen Nux one time, and that was when he fought against Elijah.

Of course, the abilities the Devil and Nux used were quite similar, however, they weren't the only ones who used the same abilities.

Maybe they were using the same spells? Maybe those two were two different abilities but they just couldn't tell them apart because of how unique those abilities were.

Honestly, there were many other scenarios that should be much more probable than concluding that a Human was an Incubus.

Something like this didn't make any sense and none of the world leaders were thinking in this direction even though all of them were trying to find who 'the Devil' really was.

Except this friend of hers.

Not only did Lyriana know that the Devil was Nux, she was so sure about it that she came to Nux to talk about it. Ambrosia was curious about how this was possible.

She wanted to know that when even her brother, the Vampire King, and the Dragon Lord couldn't recognize

Nux, then how did her friend do it?

What was this 'energy' she was talking about?

"The Energy both Nux and the Devil used, it was not Mana. It was something far more efficient."

"What...?" Ambrosia frowned.

She had been training Nux for a while, she knew this man was different than others, but using energy other than Mana...

Was there even some other energy in the air other than Mana?

What was the source of this energy? Why could she not sense it? And, was it the reason why Nux was so different and stronger than others?

More and more questions started appearing in Ambrosia's mind.

"Different energy...? Lady Lyriana, I respect you quite a lot because you are someone who is comparable to Lord Arcturus and Lord Alaric even though you are an elf, however, what you are saying is simply false.

I cannot just agree to whate-"

"The efficiency of your spells, it far exceeds what could be achieved by Mana. Coincidentally, the Devil is the same in this regard. Mana cannot sustain the two of you and the level at which your spells have reached, it doesn't have that capability.

I do not know what energy you use, however, I am sure that it is not Mana."

Lyriana replied, she was so sure about what she was saying that she wasn't even looking at Nux to see his reactions and react accordingly.

"Maybe the two of us have high-level mastery over our spells?"

Hearing those words, Lyriana stared at Nux with a deadpan look on her face.

"Are you telling an Elf about Spell Mastery? And to the Elf Queen at that?

Maybe you forgot about it, but the elves are known to be the Masters of Magic. Even the Dragons and Vampires aren't as good as us when it comes to magic.

Do not try to steer away from the topic Nux, and answer my question,

How did you turn into an Incubus?"

Lyriana questioned, this time, her tone was commanding.

And that was something Nux didn't like.

"Alright." Nux nodded, then, he looked into Lyriana's eyes and,

"Let's say whatever bullshit you are spouting is correct and I am the Devil,

Why would I reveal my secret to you?

What gives you the right to come to my clan and order me around?

Or do you think that since you are a Divine Stage Cultivator, you are so great that you don't have to care about the people around you and can do whatever you want?

Let me make one thing clear here, Lady Lyriana.

Your title as the strongest female cultivator, that's a false title.

You are the strongest. 'Incomplete' female Cultivator.

Incomplete, Halfling, Flawed,

That is what who you are.

So stop acting like you own the world when you can't even cultivate properly."

Nux spoke, each of his words were poisonous and Lyriana, who heard them, her expression turned dark.

"Even if I am "Incomplete, don't forget that I am perfectly capable of swatting you like the fly you are."

"Ohhh~ So scary, a few thousand old years cultivators is strong enough to defeat a Young Cultivator, how

surprising."

Nux wasn't scared.

Lyriana's face twitched, this time, even Ambrosia had a frown on her face.

'What are you doing?"

She questioned, using Mana to contact Nux alone.

'What? Should I just let her interrogate me like that?'

'It was not like she wasn't wrong, was she?"

"That doesn't matter, does it? The point is, no matter who she is, she is not someone who can order me around. I already have

other things annoying me as is.

I don't want an ice queen talking to me like she owns me or something.

If she came here with a request, she needs to show the required attitude.' Nux replied.

He knew Lyriana was listening to what he was saying, that was the reason why Mana Conversations aren't used that often, anyone decently good at manipulating Mana can peek into your conversation and you wouldn't even realize it.

Of course, that is until someone makes it as obvious as Lyriana and reacts according to every word he speaks.

'Nux...' Ambrosia wanted to say something, however, even she had realized that Lyriana was listening to their conversation and stopped

Then, she turned towards her friend, wanting to calm her down.

But then,

"Are you sure you want to do it?" Suddenly, Lyriana questioned as she glanced at Nux.

"Do what?" Nux questioned rudely.

"Making an enemy out of me."

"If your ego is so fragile that you would want to make an enemy out of me just because I called you out on your bullshit,

Then I wouldn't mind.

I would like to see what having a Divine Stage Enemy feels like!"

"Are you sure you would be able to take the Dragon Lord and the Elf Queen at the same time?" Lyriana questioned.

"Bunch of halflings, one or two, doesn't really matter." Nux shrugged.

But then, a smile appeared on Lyriana's face.

"You finally gave yourself away."

"Huh?"

"Arcturus was coming after the Devil, why would you care about him? Unless, of course, you are the Devil. The man who deeply humiliated his child."

"..."

Nux turned silent.

Seeing him like that, Lyriana couldn't help but chuckle again.

Then, she stood up.

"Well, since I have confirmed my suspicions, I will be returning now.

And you were right, me coming here and forcing you to reveal your secrets was wrong on my part,

I apologize for that."

Lyriana bowed her head, surprising both Nux and Ambrosia.

"I will return again, and next time, I will bring back something of equal value and we will exchange some of our secrets,

I would love it if you were up to that and overlooked what I did today."

Lyriana questioned.

"O-Of course."

Nux just stuttered.

He couldn't believe the Elf Queen just apologized to him, even going as far as bowing her head.

Were his future days numbered...?
