Chapter 1722 It’ll take too long like this.
"I will be back soon." She spoke. "You won't have to, it is not like you are going to win." At those words, Riona just chuckled as she left the room. 'What a strange woman.' The Office Head thought inwardly. Then, his focus shifted to the battle that could be seen from the window of his office. Indeed, he had the elite view of the battle, one of the perks of working at Arena. "YEAAHHHHHHH!!! NATHAN!!! KILL HIM!!" "NO! Don't kill him! Just tire him out! I need to win some money!"
"Shut the hell up!" "You!!" The instant Nathan stepped in, the crowd was excited, it was a much grander welcome than what Nux received. Nux could sense not even a single being was on his side and everyone seemed to know who this Nathan dude was. 'I guess he is a big shot.' Nux thought inwardly as he stared at the being in front of him and with just one look, he could tell, he was definitely different from other scrubs he had faced here before. He was strong. Nux narrowed his eyes, preparing himself for the battle. Nathan on the other hand, seemed laid back. He was confident in his skills. Seeing that the two fighters were ready, the announcer flew in the air, her voice was heard throughout the arena and, "So the first battle of today's grand event starts in, Three! Two!
"N-Nathan l-lost?" This made no sense. Nathan was one of the best mercenaries in Nexus. He was someone who would soon become one of the famed Star Mercenaries.
How could someone like him lose to... someone they didn't even know? The announcer, who noticed the strange atmosphere decided to do something and, "S-Since the first battle is over, the next one is..." The next participant was called. Once again, he was someone most people in the Arena knew, many had even bid on him and he raised the hope of quite a lot of people in the audience, However, "Start!" The moment the announcer announced the start of the match, once again, Nux disappeared from his place, appeared right next to the second participant and, *Bam* Face first into the floor, because of the high impact on the head, the participant passed out. The battle was over. Once again, Nux stood up, staring at Announcer, signalling her to announce the result and call for the next participant. And then, Something the mercenaries of Nexus would never forget in their life happened, One after another, the most popular mercenaries stepped onto the stage, these were mercenaries who had spent around five hundred credit points just to fight Nux and win. Honestly, ever since the start, they never even thought about losing, they were just worried that their turns wouldn't come. Yes, they were that sure of their strength. However, *Bam* *Bam* *Bam* *Bam* The results were all the same. Heads were smashed onto the floor, one after the other, the mercenaries who were so sure of themselves continued to lose, not even one of them was able to use any of their abilities no matter how hard they tried. Nux was simply so fast that he couldn't even react to his movements.
The fastest ones could not avoid him, the strong ones didn't have the chance to show their strength, the durable ones felt their durability and pride shatter into pieces, almost nothing could be done against this monster. *Yawn.* Heck, the man even dared to yawn in the middle of the Arena. Then, with tears welling up in his eyes from the massive yawn, Nux stared at the announcer and, "It will take too long like this, Send all of them at the same time." Nôv(el)B\\jnn
