Chapter 1439 Human Trial.
Why would... he act distant with the people he loved...? Aeliana couldn't help but frown. No matter how she thought about it, she found it strange. From the memories of Nux's 'slaves', she could already sense Nux's attraction to those women. No, attraction was a weak word to describe it, the look in Nux's eyes... that was borderline insanity, that was no attraction, that was an obsession. This boy was obsessed with those women and no matter how she thought about it, She found it strange. In some of those women's memories, they hadn't even met Nux. She already confirmed it, there were no memory alterations, Aeliana wouldn't brag, but there weren't many beings who could alter someone's memory and hide it from her. And her subordinates were quite capable in this regard as well. These women never met Nux. For Nux to be so obsessed with them... Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates
Was it just truly love at first sight? Was reaching that level of insanity without talking to the said person even once, even possible? Aeliana highly doubted that. And just as she thought more about this situation, another question popped up in her mind, Why was Nux not making any moves? Was he shy? Tsk, he was a boy who sat confidently in front of her, the boy oozed with confidence, Aeliana couldn't imagine him being 'shy'. She had interacted with him enough times to know that. Not to mention that someone who was obsessed enough to manipulate another being's entire life just to ensure their safety... someone like him wouldn't possibly do everything in his power to get close to the people they love. After all, observing the means he used, she highly doubted the boy had any boundaries. Something didn't add up here. Aeliana could tell something was wrong, she just... couldn't point her finger at it. Her disciple's life... it seemed like a big, mysterious mess. The way he reacted in front of the people he loved... the distant look on his face... as if he was purposefully trying to maintain distance. Honestly, even when Nux interacted with his slaves, he still seemed distant, of course, she could understand his thinking. 'What's the point of getting close to mere slaves?' This definitely wouldn't be the first time Aeliana saw slaves being treated like this but... in Nux's case, this was more problematic. That was because almost all his interactions she saw through other people's memories, be it his enemies, his slaves, or his 'lovers', in all those memories, the boy acted distant. Even Aisha, the Lust Princess, was treated in a similar manner. The only one he didn't act distant with... was her. Yes, from the day they met till now, Nux always had a curious, gaze full of life, when he met her. It was only when she mentioned his family and tried to pry deeper did he started creating those walls around him and closing himself off. Why is he acting differently when he is her? Was she an exception? Is it because of her status? That could be true... Does he want to get close to her because he thinks it will be beneficial for him? Is that the reason why he is not acting distant from her and is actually trying to get close to her? 'I do not wish to harm you, Aeliana Ruinous. Rather, I only wish the best for you, I wish that you achieve everything you want in your life and be happy. With how much you have done for others till now, you deserve nothing but happiness.' Suddenly, Aeliana recalled Nux's answer and how the Amulet didn't react when he said those words, Aeliana knew they were true...
Nux cleared all the waves at a scary speed. 10th 20th And even 30th wave...
None of what the trial had to offer meant anything to current Nux. This time, however, he stopped right after reaching the 32nd wave. He had confirmed it, it was all he needed to get Primordial Blood. Attracting Caesar and his mother's attention was not required right now... At least not until he gathered all the Bloodlines he previously had.
Killing himself, he exited the Trial, the moment he came out, he could sense something was different in his body. 'It didn't work huh...' He thought in his head. Since he was able to 'create' his abilities using *Essence*, he now wanted to move to Bloodlines. If, like his system, he could absorb other's Bloodlines and assimilate them into his own body, it would give him quite a huge boost in power. Therefore, he wanted to see how the Primordial Blood entered his body and what changes it made, however, just as he expected, Before he exited the tower, his body was already changed. 'Did it already know what result I would achieve? Or is there a gap between the time you end the trial and return?' He had his doubts, but, "Oh? You are back already? That was fast.
Well, I guess that should be expected from her student." He heard a familiar dragon's voice that made him freeze.
