Chapter 1415 You… Did you use Possession?
"You mere bug!! Is evading my attacks the only thing you know how to do!?"
In the dimly lit chamber of Solid Earth Kingdom's fortress, the tension in the air rose as Nux and Nawdren faced each other, both looking into each other's eyes with completely different expressions.
Nawdren, a mighty figure of strength and speed, roared in fury, his blue eyes shining with an otherworldly intensity as he stared at his enemy in fury, hatred, and annoyance.
On the other hand...
"You mere big man! Is punching the air like a fool the only thing you know how to do!?"
Nux, though seemingly outmatched in almost every factor be it strength, speed, or power, still stood with a light smile on his face, as if everything was a mere game for him. Obviously, the man was clearly making fun of the man-beast in front of him, a fact that further annoyed Nawdren.
"I WILL MAKE YOU REGRET COMING HERE WHEN I SQUASH YOU LIKE THE BUG YOU ARE!!"
With a thunderous roar, Nawdren launched himself forward, his massive body hurtling through the air like a juggernaut.
Nux's heart pounded in his chest as he braced himself for the impact, his muscles coiled like springs prepared for the incoming attack.
*BOOOM*
The clash was deafening, the force of Nawdren's blow sending shockwaves rippling through the chamber. All the furniture around trembled, heck, the closed ones were already broken into pieces because of Nawdren's Aura. The Aura coming from the man-beast was so strong that every being in the fortress was aware of the battle between the two but…
Did anyone dare to interfere?
Of course not.
Not one was planning for this day to be their last. Nawdren's burst of Aura was mainly focused on Nux, others could only feel the 'waste' part but just that was enough for the soldiers under the Grand Master stage to lose their consciousness while the rest of the soldiers were having a hard time staying away and resisting the Aura.
And this included the two Emperors, who had already appeared near Nawdren's chamber, watching the fight. Not intending to interfere either. A being fighting toe to toe against a monster who could suppress them with his mere Aura.
This wasn't a fight the two of them wanted to involve themselves in. They would rather wait for the outcome of the battle to decide their future actions. They knew that Nawdren wouldn't order them to fight either, after all, the man-beast had an ego bigger than the planet itself and with how frustrated he seemed, he must want to kill the enemy on his own. Helping in this case might do more harm than good to them.
Both father and son nodded as they glanced at each other, coming to a quick decision.
Nux felt his bones cracking, however, other than his usual, annoying smile, nothing else was portrayed on his face. He held firm, quickly shifting the weight back as he slipped away from the beast again.
Nawdren didn't back down, he rushed towards Nux again. Nux parried or dodged all his blows.
*Clank* *Clank* *Clank*
Nawdren's claws and Nux's sword clashed in a symphony of steel, sparks flew with each collision as everything around them continued to be destroyed the more the two clashed.
Nawdren was relentless, his attacks coming faster and fiercer with each passing moment. Nux was strong, yes, however, right now, even he knew he was no match against the beast. He knew one mistake meant his death and feeling the weight of the beast's blows bearing down upon him, threatening to crush him beneath its unstoppable force, his belief only strengthened even further.
Of course, despite feeling all this, his face portrayed emotions that were completely different,
"I finally understand…"
Nux started, his eyes shining in realization as he stared at Nawdren.
Yes, with his Zenith Flow, he had more than enough time to act around all he wanted, after all, his body pretty much moved on its own when he fought.
The only thing he needed to focus on was to create an opportunity for the final blow.
And… messing with a beast's mind…
How difficult could that be?
Especially for a bastard like Nux, who was born with a talent to annoy people.
"You are a mutation huh…
A human evolved into a Beast…?
No, a beast evolved into a Human…
But something doesn't add up here…"
Hearing those words, Nawdren's body flinched for a slight second, all the time Nux needed to understand that his trick worked and his smile widened, he then started at Nawdren and narrowed his eyes.
"You…
Did you use Possession?"
This time, Nawdren's eyes widened in shock.
"As I expected…"
Nux nodded in understanding, since Nawdren was pretty much frozen in shock, he didn't have to dodge his attacks anymore and he continued with his games.
"You move as if you are not used to your body. You are strong and fast, however, your overall balance, technique, mind-muscle connection, everything else is a mess."
Nux commented and this time, what he said was indeed the truth. He wasn't lying just for the sake of fooling Nawdren.
It was something he noticed in his past life when he became an Emperor and constantly sparred with Nawdren to train himself, this was also the part reason he dared to challenge the beast in the first place.
He couldn't use it before when he and Astaria fought against the beast, however, after 1000 years of training and sparring against the crazy Dragon, Nux had turned into a completely different being.
A being who could use even the slightest advantage to turn the outcome of the battle in his favour.
Using the chance when the Beast-man was shaken, Nux appeared next to him, once again, his sword piercing another cm through the beast's heart.
"AAAAGGGHHHHHH!!!! YOU BASTARD!!"
Nawdren screamed, not because of pain, but because of frustration that the bug's attack passed through his defences again, he grabbed the sword and as if the scene repeated himself, Nux simply stepped back and prepared for the next round.
"YOU ARE DEAD!!"
With a primal roar, Nawdren unleashed a flurry of blows, his rage fuelling every strike as he sought to overwhelm Nux. But Nux was ready, as if he was a dancer, he dodged and parried all his attacks, making it look so effortless that the Emperors who were watching the battle couldn't help but blink in absolute shock as they looked at each other.
Their entire worldview was crumbling right in front of their eyes. After all… the man slower and weaker than them was… facing someone they didn't even dare to raise their heads in front of and… he was winning…
