Chapter 1260 When are we fighting?
I believe it is high time that you pay up."
Nux spoke with a gentle smile on his face.
Ignatia raised her eyebrows, "You still need compensation?"
"Hmm? Still? You talk as if I already got my compensation. That\'s quite strange."
"You already killed Lord Arcturus, you bastard! What else do you need!?"
Unable to take it anymore, one of the Divine Stage Cultivators shouted in extreme anger, his Aura burst out and although he didn\'t intend to harm Nux through his Aura, his anger flaming his strength was enough for Nux to step back.
Nux, however, didn\'t seem very scared,
"Lady Ignatia, I would prefer if the randoms do not open their mouths here. I am here to talk with the figure who has the actual say, not some dogs who would only bite when they are told to."
"You…" The Dragon was clearly angered, however, before he could say anything,
"Everyone here has unmatchable influence throughout the Dragon Continent, so much that their ranks could be considered higher than mine, one of them will also become the next Dragon Lord. Everyone here has the \'actual say\' like you said."
Ignatia spoke up.
Nux was impressed, he could see that the Dragons were pleased when they heard Ignatia\'s words, seeing how they were acting, he could tell that unlike Ignatia, Arcturus never acknowledged or valued his subordinates. It wasn\'t hard to decipher when almost all the Dragons readily became his Slaves the moment they were given the option to.
Creatures with extreme pride… Arcturus had driven them to the point where they wanted to take revenge against him, even if that meant swallowing their pride and submitting to the opponent.
Ignatia, however, was clearly different, she wasn\'t the strongest here, however, with her acting as the leader, Nux could tell that the Dragon Continent had a bright future.
Not that it mattered.
It was already too late.
Ignatia might be a good leader, yes, however, with his presence, Dragon Continent was bound to fall. Of course, he wasn\'t petty enough to do all this just to satisfy his sadistic pleasure, he had his own reasons.
First, he wanted to repay Lyriana, he had used the Elven Treasury in order to open the Human Trials, he needed to refill that.
He also needed resources to reopen the Human Trials.
It was his wife\'s request.
Astaria Leander was not satisfied with her result and although it is proven that the results of the Trials do not change no matter how many times the Trial Takers take the Trial, Astaria wanted to try it one more time.
And of course, since his wife wanted it, Nux had to obey, resources didn\'t matter, as one of the Strongest Races in the world, the Dragons were loaded, so even if this spend was somewhat unreasonable, for his wife\'s happiness, Nux was prepared to be reckless.
And for his recklessness, Ignatia, or the Dragon Continent was the one who had to pay the price.
"Well, it doesn\'t matter who they are,
I only care about compensation.
Arcturus\'s death was the result of his own actions and now as a winner, I have the right to take what the loser left."
"The Dragon Continent or anything in here is not Arcturus\'s personal property."
"You are telling me that the previous Dragon Lord did not own the Dragon Continent?" Nux raised his eyebrow.
"No Dragon Lord does, ruling and owning are two different terms."
Ignatia replied as she looked right into Nux\'s eyes, hearing her words, Nux laughed out loud, then, as he shook his head, he stared at Ignatia\'s face and,
"Ignatia, I am not here to play this terms games with you. I know you are much better than me when it comes to that, if you want a fair match, you are welcome at my base, there are many who would like to have a go,
Right now, however, I need what I am here for, because if I am not compensated,
I am prepared to use force."
He threatened and the Dragons did not like it,
"You think you can win against us?" They questioned as they narrowed their eyes.
Nux laughed, "I defeated the Dragon Continent when it was at its strongest, what\'s stopping me from doing it again when it is at its weakest?"
"Haah? You think that little army you have gathered would be able to defeat all of us?" A Dragon questioned.
"You think that won\'t be enough?" Nux questioned back.
It was an intense exchange with no sides willing to back down.
Ignatia, however, was different.
The Dragon Continent was not in a position to get into another battle, even if they somehow won and defeated Nux, whatever left would soon crumble down as others would never let a chance like this go.
Heck, even now, she could imagine the Human Emperors eyeing them, waiting for that one opportunity.
"What do you want in compensation?" She questioned directly, however,
"Lady Ignatia you can\'t!!"
The Dragons were obviously resisting.
"You people need to understa-"
"There is nothing to understand here, we cannot bow down here. If it is War this bastard wants, a War is what he shall get!" The dragon spoke as he glared at Nux, others agreed with his words.
"Exactly, we can\'t let someone who isn\'t even brave enough to appear in front of us and use a clone to send a message threaten us."
"Hahaha!"
The Dragons laughed out loud. Nux tried not to react, however, he couldn\'t hide how his mouth twitched ever so slightly.
"Silence!"
Suddenly, Ignatia shouted.
"We will first hear his demands, if they are reasonable, we will fulfill them. Do not forget, it was indeed the Dragon Continent who started it, we cannot expect to not be implicated by Arcturus\'s actions even if h-"
"Ignatia."
A Dragon called down, then, as he stared right into Ignatia\'s eyes, he spoke up,
"You are not the Leader here.
Don\'t mistake our respect for you with our submission.
We are the Dragons, if you give into the demands of some Semi Saint, then you are not suited to be the leader, even if it is just temporary." Deafening silence fell over the place.
The other Dragons didn\'t say anything, it was a sign that they didn\'t disagree with his words either. The pressure coming from so many Strong Divine Stage Cultivators overwhelmed even Ignatia,
But then,
"Haah? Is this something you people prearranged or something? Why are you showing this third-class Drama where the female main character is being surrounded and overwhelmed by some brain dead idiots and the entrance of the main character is in the queue? Are you trying to raise my protective desire or something?
It is not a bad plan even if I do say so myself…
But I don\'t really know you… we have no prior connection or anything going between us…"
Nux commented with a thoughtful look on his face, his eyes scanning Ignatia from up to down, but before the woman could say anything, one of the Dragons had enough and,
"Come back with your real body whenever you feel the life is too easy."
*BOOM*
As he said those words, his Aura burst out, aiming to destroy Nux\'s Clone, but then,
*BOOM*
An Aura much stronger than the Dragon\'s canceled his Aura and what was even more frightening was that this Aura was something everyone in the Hall could recognize in an instant.
"L-Lord…" the Dragon stuttered.
Even when Ignatia and the others had already sensed it through the Aura, the man\'s appearance made them widen their eyes in absolute shock, Arcturus was here…
B-But… why was he standing beside Nux…?
It was as if he was… protecting him…?
Haah?
Everyone was confused until…
Nux placed his hands on Arcturus\'s head and ruffled his hair playfully as if he were his pet, something that horrified the Dragons but what made them react even more was how Arcturus seemed glad when Nux did it.
"…"
"Do you still think you people stand a chance against me?
When Arcy is the one protecting me?
That\'s quite some confidence you got there."
Nux commented.
"…"
And of course, he only received silence in response. No one could believe what they were seeing. Nux on the other hand, continued,
"So? When are we fighting? I would have preferred to get what I want without having to do any work, but I wouldn\'t mind destroying everyone before I grab it myself.
Tell me, who wishes to face Arcy first? Or do you all want to have a go at him together? Of course, we would be playing teams as well."
Nux spoke as 39 Cores formed behind him, one Divine Stage Cultivator stepping out of each of them.
"…"
In an instant, the air in the room changed.
"Nux, we are not looking for any fights, tell me what are your demands and we will see how it goes from there," Ignatia spoke. She still couldn\'t overcome her shock, however, this was something important.
A solution was required and she needed to be the one to do it.
Of course, this time, she didn\'t face any resistance. How would she? A single presence here changed everything, especially when the man wasn\'t wearing the Bracelet that was used to contain his Law of Self.
"I believe it would be better if we talk inside a room, just you and me."
Nux spoke as he glanced at Ignatia.
Ignatia momentarily glanced at Arcturus, however, seeing how he wasn\'t reacting, she glanced at Nux and sighed,
"As you say."
