Supreme Harem God System

Chapter 1274 That’s what she said!

Chapter 1274  That’s what she said!

"W-What…?"

Lyriana widened her eyes in disbelief.

Although she didn't think Arcturus would die because of this, she still felt that it would heavily injure him.

Of course, she wasn't dumb enough to think that defeating the Arcturus would be this easy, however, the one in front of her was not the real Arcturus. He was someone else in Arcturus's body.

His body may be strong, but with his personality different, it shouldn't be a surprise if his power had dwindled.

Or at least that's what the Elven Queen thought when she noticed that Arcturus wasn't doing anything to block her attack.

It was only now that she realized that it wasn't because there was a change in personality and that he couldn't react to her attack, it was because the man knew the attack of this level wouldn't hurt him.

That was the Dragon Lord's confidence.

And the moment Lyriana noticed the wide grin brimming with confidence that appeared on his face, her expression changed.

Before she could react,

Arcturus disappeared.

Lyriana looked around, tracking Arcturus's whereabouts at the last moment, but it was already too late.

Arcturus's punch landed on Lyriana's back, the Mana barrier that protected her broke in an instant and her body was sent flying.

*Crack*

A loud crack was heard.

"Ugghhhh!!"

The Elven Queen grunted in agony.

In just a single punch, her spine was broken. She couldn't move.

The results of the battle were clear, however, Arcturus didn't stop.

He rushed towards the fallen Queen, the Mana in the air trembled continuously, Lyriana could feel that the punch Arcturus was preparing was countless times stronger than the last one.

It was a punch that could very well take her life.

Arcturus appeared right in front of her however, just before he could land the punch, another figure appeared in between the two fighters and held Arcturus's incoming punch as if it was the easiest thing in the world.

"You aren't hurt, are you? This could have gotten messier, huh."

Nux spoke as he turned around and glanced at Lyriana with a heroic look on his face.

"…"

Lyriana stared at him in silence.

"What is it?" Nux tilted his head in confusion and questioned with a light smile on his face.

"You do remember that I know how the Slave Seal works, no?"

Lyriana questioned with a deadpan look on her face and in an instant. Nux's 'cool' expression changed as he realized it.

He wasn't fooling anyone here.

Obviously, he wasn't strong enough to stop Arcturus's punch on his own. He simply ordered him to stop at the last moment.

"A man can always try, can't he?"

Nux spoke with a wry smile on his face.

"…"

Lyriana narrowed her eyes, not saying anything. Her silence, however, was loud enough for Nux to know exactly what she wanted to say.

"Hey Hey, you have to admit, it was cool though, wasn't it?"

"Might have worked on a person you never used a Slave Seal on."

Lyriana replied with a cold look on her face as she then drank a healing potion.

"…"

Nux didn't know what to say.

In the end, he decided to swallow his defeat and with a sigh, he glanced at Arcturus and ordered him to back off.

Arcturus did as he was told.

Lyriana then stood up.

"Take it off."

She spoke as she glanced at Nux.

The Bracelet Faustina made couldn't be taken off by the wearer, even if the wearer's arm is chopped off, the effect wouldn't go away.

Unless the bracelet is unlocked by the one who placed it, the wearer will always be trapped.

After all, it was made to chain the wearer down, not to train him.

Without asking, Nux quickly took out the Bracelet off.

In an instant, Lyriana felt rejenuvated, her Law of Self was back. Then, she stared at Arcturus and narrowed her eyes,

"Now order him to spar with me again, this time, tell him that he is allowed to use his Law of Self only to cancel out my Law of Self."

Lyriana spoke.

Hearing her words, Nux frowned in confusion.

"That wouldn't make any difference though…?"

"It will."

Lyriana nodded with a determined look on her face.

Arcturus was stronger than her, there was no doubt about that left in her mind, now, she simply wished to see just how large the gap between the two of them was.

At the same time, she also wanted to teach Nux some important things about the Divine Stage. Things that differentiate cultivators like her and Arcturus that other normal Cultivators,

"Our Law of Self isn't just a blast of Aura used to suppress our opponents, it is called Law of Self because it indicates our 'presence' in this universe.

After the Divine Stage, we do not cultivate to increase our strength, rather, we try to understand ourselves and try to strengthen our 'presence' in the universe, indirectly getting stronger in the process."

"Strengthening your presence?"

Obviously, Nux was confused.

Even when training together with Vyriana for so many years, he had never once heard of this term.

"Is it something related to karma?"

Nux questioned.

"As in, you take good or bad actions that increase your presence all over the world?"

This was the only logical guess he could come up with.

Lyriana, however, shook her head.

"That's not it.

This is Yrniel. People here already know about us, our actions wouldn't do anything to affect our presence."

"Then…"

"Honestly, it is hard to explain,

As I said, we try to understand ourselves, our presence in the world, then, we try to increase it.

For example, I am the Queen of all Elves, my Ice Element is what separates me from others, it is part of my Law of Self, if I understand it, I can use the power of my Law of Self to further strengthen my Ice."

"…"

Nux stared at the Elven Queen and blinked a few times, he had no clue what this woman was talking about. It was as if she was speaking a bunch of gibberish but at the same time, he felt like what she was saying was extremely important for his future growth.

Lyriana understood that her words weren't working.

In the end, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath,

"Tell him to do what I told you." She spoke with a calm look on her face.

"I believe a practical demonstration would be much more beneficial in this situation."

Nux nodded in understanding.

He passed Lyriana's orders to Arcturus, the Dragon Lord nodded.

Then, as the two fighters took positions, Nux stood in between and, "Start."

*BOOOM*

In an instant, an absurdly strong Aura burst out from Lyriana's body, rushing towards Arcturus to Arcturus, wanting to bind him.

*BOOOM*

In response, an equally strong Aura burst out of Arcturus's body, canceling out the Aura released by Lyriana, and as if knowing that this time he was at a disadvantage, Arcturus didn't waste time and directly rushed towards Lyriana, wanting to end the battle.

Just like before, Magic Circles appeared on the ground, an Ice Wall was formed right in front of the Dragon Lord, this time however, Arcturus didn't allow himself to get trapped inside the wall and changed his direction.

Lyriana summoned another Ice Wall, but again, instead of letting himself get trapped, Arcturus tried to change his direction and avoid getting trapped, even if it meant getting away from her opponent.

In an instant, Nux noticed the change in tides.

Arcturus was trying to run away, dodging Lyriana's ice, while the Elven Queen was trying to catch him.

Nux recalled what Lyriana said, 'I can use my Law of Self to further strengthen my Law of Self.'

Realizing, Nux glanced at the Ice Walls formed by Lyriana, honestly, they looked the same in his eyes, but then,

*Pierce*

He witnessed a shocking sight.

One of the Ice Spikes Lyriana had summoning pierced through Arcturus's defenses.

"Huh…?"

In an instant, Nux realized what the woman was talking about.

The Spikes that couldn't even put a scratch on Arcturus even when countless of them attacked him together, now, had pierced through his defenses as if it was made of paper.

"Do you under-"

Lyriana turned towards Nux, wanting to explain what just happened, however,

"ROOAAAARRRRR!!"

A loud roar was heard.

Nux and Lyriana turned towards the Dragon Lord and,

"Right… I forgot about this…"

Nux spoke up.

Lyriana had a solemn look on her face as well.

Arcturus hadn't lost yet.

He still had his Dragon Form.

And now, the Elven Queen had to face a 30-meter large Dragon standing in front of her, stepping on her Ice Spikes as if they were matchsticks.

"Getting used to this sight is quite difficult,

He is huge."

Lyriana spoke up.

"That's what she said!"

Nux of course, couldn't hold himself back no matter how lame it was.

Lyriana gave him a side eye, then, she just shrugged,

"Bigger doesn't necessarily mean better,

Sometimes, you become nothing but an open target."
