"You think my Nux would initiate a challenge he thinks he is going to lose?
Sauren stands no chance." Melia had absolute confidence in her husband's abilities. "My Nux's, eh? Look at you acting all romantic. I never thought my daughter of all people would act like this. That boy really did some sort of magic on you, huh?" Ambrosia chuckled out loud. Melia lowered her head as she blushed, a small smile appearing on her face. She didn't mind publicly declaring Nux's to be hers. Actually, she liked doing it, if she could, she would announce it so loudly that the entire world could hear it. It was something she never thought she would do but... Meeting Nux simply changed her outlook on life. Nux was like a palate of color in her bland, monotonous life. Someone who changed her desires and goals and gave her a reason to smile brightly every single day. From her smile alone, Ambrosia could sense all these emotions her daughter was feeling, she couldn't help but feel thankful towards Nux and felt good knowing that her daughter was being loved and was living an amazing life. Alaric, on the other hand, was focused on a completely different thing. It was Melia's absolute confidence in Nux's victory. Honestly, sensing that confidence, if he could, he would have already bet all his assets on Nux. Not that there was any man in the entirety of Yrniel who could double his bet and return it to him so it would be pointless nonetheless. Of course, this didn't dishearten him. He had long since stopped caring about matters regarding resources and wealth. Rather, he took this chance to deliver the good news to his adorable niece, adding to her happiness. "Well, if what you are saying is true and Nux actually wins the battle, then Arcturus would personally take the initiative to bury the hatchet between ExceedoGenesis and the Dragon Continent. You people can then return to Yrniel and act as if nothing happened, continuing to challenge other clans and racing through the ranks without anyone troubling you. I am actually looking forward to your Clan's meteoric rise, little girl." Alaric revealed with an excited look on his face. Hearing his words, Ambrosia was taken aback, "Are you sure?" She questioned. After all, this wasn't the matter one could joke about.
... Time passed and the anticipated day was here. The battle between the Leaders of ExceedoGenesis and Ashenhelm, Nux Leander, versus Sauren Thorn.
It was one of those extremely rare, probably the first of its type where almost every person in the entirety of Yrniel looked forward to the battle, but even then, the Stadium wasn't packed with people continuously cheering for the side they supported. The large stadium which could host around 500,000 people was almost completely empty with barely 10,000 people coming in to actually watch the battle. After all, everyone knew that almost anytime, the Dragon Lord could appear with his 50 Subordinates to capture one of the challengers and it could lead to a big battle. No one wished to die from the aftereffects of someone else's battle.
Well, there were still about 10,000 people who actually believed in their luck and still came to watch the battle. It was a suicidal move however, these people simply couldn't contain their excitement and came here to join the fun. Of course, not all people who were here were relying on their luck to survive, there were many who trusted their own Skills. Many Divine Stage Cultivators had come to the stadium to watch the battle. Honestly, this was probably the battle with the highest number of Divine Stage viewers in the audience. The number of Divines in the Stadium had already crossed the 100 mark.
"Heeh, it sure is lively," Aisha commented with a curious look on her face as she sensed the strength of the people in the audience. "Aisha... should we even be here...?" Maline questioned with a worried look on her face. "Sister, you worry too much, didn't I tell you? Just trust my husband. Everything is under control." "He is your husband, not mine! How am I supposed to trust him blindly!?" Maline was quick to counter. Rislith, who was standing next to them, was nodding inwardly as well. As the Eldest, she had to keep her pride and not panic in front of her little sisters, however, she completely agreed with Maline's words. "Me being here should be enough reason to trust him blindly, Do you really think that man would let his wives come to a place fraught with danger?" Aisha questioned and this time, the sisters had no argument.
