1191 I cannot do that.
"Since I am doing you a favor, I expect you to do the same in return."
Lyriana spoke and Nux finally understood what was all of this about,
"You need my help." He spoke.
"And you need mine," Lyriana replied.
She wanted to make sure that Nux knew the fact that he wasn't the only one with good cards with him, it was not a one-sided deal, and both parties needed each other.
"Yes yes, I understand."
Nux chuckled, he liked how Lyriana was acting.
"So, how can I help you, Lady Lyriana?"
He questioned.
"It is about my daughter."
"Ariana?"
"That is correct." Lyriana nodded.
"I want you to teach her about this energy you use instead of Mana."
Nux raised his eyebrow and continued to observe Lyriana, however, seeing that she was staring right into his eyes without any intentions of backing out, he realized that she was serious.
In an instant, Nux shook his head,
"I cannot do that."
"Why not?" Lyriana frowned.
"Lady Lyriana, it is not that I do not want to teach your daughter, I simply cannot.
My 'energy' is not something that could be taught to anyone,
If that was possible, you think I wouldn't have taught it to my wives already?"
"..."
Lyriana turned silent.
This was the man who challenged Arcturus for the sake of his wives... if there is something that can increase his women's strength, there is no way he wouldn't share it with them...
Lyriana had her doubts, however, seeing as how Nux himself admitted it, there was nothing he could do.
This Advanced Energy, she had no choice but to give up on it.
Of course, this didn't mean she was going to let Nux go,
"Your wives were all Incomplete Cultivators 150 years ago, now however, all of them are Complete Cultivators, not just that, they are stronger than normal Complete Cultivators. I would have seen this as a coincidence if it was just one or two, but for all your wives to return and become so absurdly strong,
There is no world where you can convince me that you do not have anything to do with it. I can see that your wives are also able to use most of the weird magic you use, teach that magic to my daughter,
Ariana already has potential, if you teach her your Magic, I believe her strength would increase to another level, to the point where she would be able to compete with the other Heroes."
"Ah, I finally understand."
Nux realized.
"Ariana is feeling insecure about her strength."
"That is correct." Lyriana didn't try to hide it either.
"With all the 'new' clans coming out, Ariana has started to feel overwhelmed. The other heroes have been performing increasingly well while my daughter's progress is starting to lag. This is pressuring her and I can see her excessively worrying about it every single day.
Then there is also you, the Devil who defeated all Seven Heroes all on your own, and then 150 years later, you reappear with all your wives miraculously becoming Complete Cultivators. All strong enough to go against Cultivators who have been cultivating for centuries.
From what I can see, those women would soon be strong enough to face the Seven Heroes once they break through the Semi Saint Stage. I believe a big factor behind this is that your wives are now able to use that weird magic of yours.
Therefore, in exchange for getting the resources to open up the Human Trial, I want you to teach that magic to my daughter as well."
Lyriana laid out the terms, however,
Nux simply shook his head and stood up,
"I cannot do that."
"Do you not want to take the Human Trial?" Lyriana frowned in confusion.
"I certainly do, however, I cannot do what you told me to in exchange for it."
"Why not? Don't tell me your Magic is not something you can share with others as well."
"I am already sharing it with my wives, so obviously that is not the case, however..."
"However?"
Lyriana narrowed her eyes.
"You call my Magic 'Weird Magic', no?"
Nux questioned.
"What do you mean?"
"Please allow me to show you something, Lady Lyriana."
Saying those words, Nux extended his hand.
Whoosh
Then, a small Magic Circle formed in front of his palm, and,
Flicker
A small Fireball formed on top of his palm.
"This is a normal Magic. A Magic Spell, Fireball."
Nux muttered.
Lyriana frowned, Nux, then raised his other hand and suddenly, a Purple Black Spike came out of the floor.
"This is my Magic, the 'weird' Magic."
Nux then glanced at Lyriana and,
"I am sure someone as sensitive to Mana can already tell the difference between the two, correct?"
"...your Magic does not follow the Magic Principles of this world."
Lyriana finally understood.
Yes, Nux's Magic used Mana... or in Nux's case, Essence, however, the principles behind Nux's abilities and normal Magic Spells were completely different from each other.
Nux's System Abilities and Magic Spells were not the same thing.
"That is correct."
Nux nodded.
"This Magic of mine is much more complicated than what anyone else in the world thinks, it is the core of my being.
I cannot share it with anyone simply because of a simple 'exchange'.
I want to participate in Human Trials, yes, however, I do not mind waiting for 157 years when those Trials naturally open up.
As for my 'weird' Magic, I cannot share it with anyone whom I do not trust with my life and I apologize for being direct, Lady Lyriana, but I do not trust you on that level yet.
Actually, even now, I am quite worried that you might attack me to get your hands on my Magic, so, please do not do that, Lady Lyriana, one of my clones is standing right behind Ariana."
"Are you threatening me?" Lyriana narrowed her eyes.
"I am merely ensuring that I get out of this place alive, Lady Lyriana. I am not in a position to take any chances." Nux replied as he looked right into Lyriana's eyes.
"..."
Lyriana stared at Nux for a while, then, she finally sighed and,
"What do I have to do in order to earn your complete trust?"
The Elven Queen questioned and after thinking about it for a while, Nux finally came up with an answer,
"Be my Slave."
