Chapter 613 It Seems You Had Quite The Fun When You Were Fighting Him.
"W-What is that?"
Nux questioned as his face turned pale.
He had felt something like this before.
It was the time when Astaria used her Aura to pressure him and broke his knees. However, there was a difference between these two situations.
This Aura…
It was far more frightening than Astaria's.
When Astaria used her Aura against him, Nux's fighting spirit was ignited.
'I will not give in.'
That was his thought and that was why he decided to fight back to the point that even his knees broke.
Now, however, things were different.
Surrounded by this Aura, rather than the fighting spirit, Nux felt fear.
Yes.
He was afraid.
Afraid to the point where his body was trembling and his face was completely pale.
This pressure…
This suffocating feeling…
It wasn't something he could fight against…
Suddenly, Nux fell on his knees as he breathed heavily.
"Haahh.., Haahh… Haa…"
He gulped again.
His eyes then fell on Astaria and he noticed that she had pierced her sword into the ground.
Her arms were trembling, clearly, it was getting more and more difficult for her to continue standing, however, she still didn't give in.
Her pride was even higher than Nux's.
Her expression was still resolute.
She knew it as well.
This feeling was foreign and wasn't something she had felt before, however, even then, she knew.
Whatever it was,
Defeating it was impossible.
Seeing her, Nux's expression changed.
He clenched his fists and under this immense pressure, he gritted his teeth, pierced his sword into the ground as well, and then, he stood up.
"Khoockk!"
Nux coughed out blood.
However, the fear in his eyes had disappeared.
He would not give in as well.
"Hmmmm? They are dead huh."
Suddenly, Nux and Astaria heard a voice.
They quickly turned around and noticed an extremely handsome man wearing normal, everyday clothes, walking towards them with a smile on his face.
The man had long, white colored hair that was black on the ends, sharp blue colored eyes, fierce white eyebrows, a clean face, a thin nose, light pink lips, and an overall handsome appearance.
One odd thing to note about that man was that he had black stripes all over his body, even his face, and unlike normal, human ears, he had tiger-like ears coming out of his head.
It was a bizarre appearance and the moment Nux's eyes fell on this man, he realized that this man was not a human.
(Picture in para comments)
Nux's golden eyes shined and,
[Name: Nawdren Besch.]
[Age: 129-895]
[Mana Cultivation: Pseudo Sage.]
[Body Cultivation: Mortal.]
[Race: Mutated Human-Beast]
[Occupation: Protector of the Sealed Continent.]
[Talent: --]
[LVL: 79.5]
The moment all this information appeared in front of Nux's eyes, he couldn't help but frown.
Just what the hell is this?
Was he really looking at the information using the [Eye of Discerning]?
What the hell was it so different?
The last time Nux checked, the age only consisted of a number, he had never seen a hyphen being used in age.
Also, what was this Pseudo Sage?
Mortal, Apprentice, Beginner, Master, Grand Master, Expert, King, and Emperor.
Where the hell is 'Pseudo Sage' here?
Also, why is the level written in decimals?
Then there is race, a mutated human beast, this, Nux could understand.
But then there's the occupation.
Protector of the Sealed Continent?
What is the Sealed Continent in the first place?
Is there a place sealed somewhere around here?
Did they somehow awaken this… strange thing… or man while fighting here?
Nux thought inwardly, however, soon, he shook his head and denied this conjecture.
The timing of this man's appearance was too accurate for it to be just that.
Herms seems to know about this man's existence. The same goes for this man, he knew about Herms as well.
The two of them are definitely connected.
Thinking about all this, Nux's face turned serious.
"He is not someone we can go easy against.
He is someone who is stronger than an Emperor Stage Cultivator.
He is a stage above Emperor."
Nux spoke with a solemn look on his face as he glanced at Astaria.
"Stage above the Emperor…?"
Astaria questioned with a surprised look on her face.
Nux nodded.
According to how System normally worked, this man should still be an Emperor Stage Cultivator, however, the System has never shown 79.5 as a level.
The same goes for the 'Mana Cultivation' section.
A Pseudo Sage.
It was also a stage Nux has never seen.
Nux hypothesized that 'Level 80' the stage above the Emperor was 'Sage', this man, who was a Pseudo Sage, should still only be an Emperor, however, the energy he released seemed to tell otherwise.
This energy was definitely out of the ordinary and not something an Emperor could release.
"Are you done with this discussion of yours?"
Suddenly, the man questioned.
"…"
Nux and Astaria didn't say anything.
The man didn't mind either, he just glanced at Herms's and Roone's dead bodies and sighed,
"They really are dead…"
His focus then fell on Roone's body and he raised his eyebrow,
"Oh? It seems you had quite the fun when you were fighting him."
The man spoke as he glanced at Nux.
Nux felt goosebumps all over his body when he felt this man's gaze. His face turned pale again, his legs weakened, this time, however, he didn't kneel down and stood strong.
"Oh? A mere King Stage Cultivator is able to go stand in front of my Aura, that's interesting,
No wonder you were able to defeat him."
The man muttered to himself as he glanced at Nux with an interested look on his face.
Astaria, on the other hand, couldn't help but think about something else,
'How does he know that Nux was the one who killed him?'
She was sure that this man wasn't there when they fought.
She didn't sense anyone.
And this man didn't have a reason to hide his presence.
Astaria was 100% sure that this man came here just now,
So just how…
"And you must be the one who killed Herms."
