Chapter 1416 Would you like to form a Contract of Equal with me?

Their entire worldview was crumbling right in front of their eyes. After all... the man slower and weaker than them was... facing someone they didn't even dare to raise their heads in front of and... he was winning...

Time seemed to slow as the two combatants clashed, their movements a blur of speed and violence. Each blow landed with bone-jarring force, sending shockwaves rippling through the chamber as they fought tooth and nail for supremacy. Of course, most of the time the one doing the attacking part was Nawdren, Nux simply avoided his attacks gracefully as he continued to wait.

He knew attacking Nawdren was useless, since the amount of *Essence* in his body was so little, his Sword Aura was much weaker than normal, he could put scratches in Nawdren's tough body, yes.

But that was useless. He needed definite blows.

Nawdren's attacks grew more frenzied, Nux remained steadfast, his focus unwavering as he searched for an opening. And then, in a moment of perfect clarity, he saw it. Updated from n0velbIn.(c)o/m

His smile widened as he charged his sword, this time, infusing more *Essence* into it than normal, with lightning speed, Nux lunged forward, his blade flashing in the dim light as it found its mark.

*Pierce*

Nawdren's eyes widened in disbelief as he staggered back, a gaping wound blossoming on his chest.

For a moment, the chamber was silent, the only sound of the ragged gasps of the combatants as they faced each other across the blood-stained floor could be heard. The two emperors gulped silently as well...

Nawdren's defense was pierced through again...

This time, the enemy didn't use any tricks, it was pure skill.

The cut on Nawdren's heart was now 4 cm deep and now, Nawdren could finally feel it. His instincts, which had once calmed down when he sensed the strength of the enemy started roaring again.

He could see it.

His opponent was not normal.

He was like a death incarnate who had come to the world just so he could kill him. The being had an answer to all his attacks and despite being weaker than him, the smile never left his space as if the outcome of this battle was obvious.

An outcome that even Nawdren could feel right now...

For the first time in his life, Nawdren felt fear...

He dreaded facing the ridiculous enemy he was facing.

An emotion Nux sensed quite quickly and the moment he did, a big smile appeared on his face,

"You can sense it as well huh...

"Oh? You know about Yrniel?" Nux questioned back.

Hearing the name Yrniel, not only Herms and Roone, even Nawdren's eyes flickered.

"Interesting..."

On the other hand, Nux glanced at the three men in front of him, his eyes shining with intense curiosity.

"Do the three of you know about weakening barrier as well?" He questioned, tilting his head in curiosity.

Nawdren didn't move, however, the two emperors nodded, making Nux frown.

"But that shouldn't be possible..."

Nux muttered before his eyes fell on Nawdren again, as he 'noticed' the man-beast's features again, he narrowed his eyes,

"You... were you a Flying Linux before, from the Family of Beasts who were supposed to protect this place because of the Blood Contract?"

"H-How do you know?" Nawdren widened his eyes in disbelief.

This was something he hadn't revealed even to the two Emperors.

"So you indeed are..."

Nux nodded, then, a big smile appeared on his face as he muttered,

"Then there might be a way to save you even if you used Possession, after all, your family faithfully served mine for so many centuries."

Nux spoke generously.

"What...?" Nawdren couldn't believe what he was hearing. He then noticed Nux walking towards him with a generous smile on his face,

"Nawdren."

Nux called out.

"W-What?"

"Would you like to form a Contract of Equal with me?"

"Wha-" Nawdren widened his eyes in disbelief, unable to believe that he was given such a good offer, but then,

*Pierce*
