Chapter 1671 My monster.
"Haaah... Haahh... Haahhh..."
He took in deep breaths, the feeling of slowly being able to sense his body again was somewhat overwhelming, he couldn't move his limbs yet, but he knew he had returned. His vision was blurry, a strange beeping sound continued to echo in his ears, while the sounds of his own breathing became louder and louder.
"nux..."
It was low, almost inaudible at first.
"nux...
nux...
Nux..."
It continued to rise and finally,
"NUX!"
A shout that overpowered everything else burdening his mind and pulling him out of the strange state he was in.
"Ah!"
Coming out of his reverie, Nux looked around.
Finding himself in a colourless world, two identical beings surrounded him, beings he knew too well, he just momentarily couldn't understand why he couldn't see their features and why everything around him was black.
"Nux, are you okay?"
He heard a question, a question he couldn't respond to.
Then, as his mind cleared up a bit more, he blinked a few times and,
"I..."
He spoke his first words after a long, long while.
"I am back."
"Nux!"
The two women smiled brightly, hugging him together. Nux hugged back, feeling the warmth of his women again filled his entire body with a sense of relief.
A comforting feeling rushed over his head, helping him relax.
"I am back..."
He repeated, this time, his voice a little weak.
He tightened his hug, this time however, he didn't hurt his women because of his
increased strength, even though he had just woken up and his mind was unclear, it was as if he had complete control over his body.
"Nux..."
While he hugged Lane and Shadow, Nux heard another voice, he turned towards the direction of the voice and his eyes fell on another shadowy figure.
Of course, Nux didn't need time to know who this figure was, it was his Amaya.
What surprised him, however, was the fact that he had regained his consciousness and Amaya wasn't there next to him hugging him.
Something extremely uncharacteristic on her part.
Soon, however, he figured out the reason as his eyes fell on another shadowy figure in Amaya's arms.
A solemn look appeared on his face as he slowly started walking towards Riona and placed his hand on her head.
Then, he looked at Amaya and,
"She will wake up soon."
"She will...?"
Amaya questioned.
Seeing not only her husband but also her mother unconscious was a big blow for Amaya, especially because by the time she got to know what happened, there was nothing she could do about the situation.
For Amaya, who, for almost her entire life, had been in control of everything around her, it wasn't a pleasant feeling.
"Her body received a Trauma for overusing her Law, which has recovered now, she can even reuse her Law again when she wakes up, not that I am going to let her do it."
Nux replied. His words sounded casual, however, all three women knew how serious he was. Nux's biggest nightmare was to see his women get hurt and an even worse case is where his women get hurt for his sake.
The moment Riona was hurt, the women knew, Nux wouldn't be the same. At least not until he makes sure all his women are absolutely safe.
"Just give her a few more days, I am sure she will wake up soon."
Nux spoke as he gently ruffled Amaya's hair, then, he placed the woman's head on his chest, the woman closed her eyes and all her worries disappeared in an instant.
A few minutes later, after Amaya and others calmed down,
"It is time to leave."
Nux spoke.
He glanced at Lane and,
"You are not allowed to leave, remember."
"I have no reason to."
The two women stared at each other, both knowing what the other was thinking.
Yes, they already knew Nux was stronger than them, but they had pretty much used all their strength in that attack...
It would have been one thing if he had stopped their attack using some ability or a law of
his own, but both Astaria and Vyriana could sense that he hadn't.
He stopped their attacks using his physical strength alone.
Yes, he stopped an Absolute Sword that should cut anything and an Absolute Punch that should overpower anything, with just his physical strength alone. Something that even someone like Azriel shouldn't be able to do. After all, no matter
how strong a being was, it was only possible to face an Absolute head-on with another
Absolute.
Even Azriel, without using his Law, shouldn't be able to stop their attacks, at least not with this much ease.
For Nux to be able to do it...
It didn't prove that he was stronger than Azriel.
That was a ridiculous concept, at least for now, Azriel was miles stronger than Nux,
however, what it did prove was something even more absurd.
'Absolute' had no effect on Nux anymore.
In front of Nux, Absolute was no longer... Absolute.
When the two women realized what it meant, they felt as if their entire world was
collapsing, but then,
"The hell are you two doing? Come here."
Suddenly, the two of them felt a strong force pulling them and the next instant, the two
of them were in Nux's arms. Their 'collapsing' world recovering in an instant.
'Monster.'
The two thought at the same time, and then they closed their eyes with smiles on their
faces.
'My monster.'
It was almost frightening how similar the two women's thought processes were.
After tightly hugging all his women for a good while, Nux finally diverted his attention to
another woman present in the training hall,
"You are back."
Seeing that his attention was now on her, Lyriana greeted.
As someone who already knew how the man functioned, she didn't even bother calling
him when he was with his wives, only speaking when he was finally done with his thing. The woman knew it was pointless to try and reach him when he was together with his
wives, especially when they were meeting after a long time.
"I am." Nux nodded.
"Are you finally going to fulfil your promise now?"
"I am."
Nux nodded.
"But before that,"
Nux turned to a particular direction,
"There is another matter I need to take care of."
"What is it?"
Lyriana frowned.
However, before she could get the answer to her question,
"Be patient."
Saying those words, Nux disappeared again, this time, appearing in a certain room that
felt much more humid than normal.
"Aren't you a mess?" Nux commented, then, he looked at the Queen's face and,
"Why go this far when you have no reason to, huh?"
"H-Heh..."
The woman, however, just smiled and didn't answer until finally, Nux grabbed the back of
her neck and sealed her lips.
