BXBX NOVEL Chapter 985 I Accept My Defeat.
985 I accept my defeat.
"I trained that man on my own, brother.
So I know a few things you don\'t,
This battle is over."
Ambrosia replied.
Alaric, however, didn\'t say anything, he just turned his gaze towards the battlefield.
\'Let\'s just wait and see the result then!\'
That\'s what his words meant.
Seeing this, Ambrosia sighed,
"Have it your way then."
However, she still didn\'t go back to her seat. Her message was clear as well.
You would realize it soon, I am not going back just to come back again.
The brother and sister had a silent war, the other leaders would have definitely found it amusing, however, right now, their focus was on the Stage.
The smoke died down and the stage...
The Stage had disappeared.
The explosion spells were so strong that not even the debris remained. A charred black floor could be seen in place of the Stage and in the middle of that charred black floor, there stood a man...
Some of his clothes were burned, his face looked tired and dirty, his right hand was completely immovable and all of its flesh had burned away, Elijah\'s condition was bad. However, the light in his eyes hadn\'t disappeared.
If one looked clearly, he would notice that Elijah\'s legs weren\'t on the ground, he was floating in the air.
He hadn\'t lost, rather, he was now looking forward to this battle more than ever.
"Nux, attack me when I can\'t use my right hand because once it is healed, I won\'t be sparing you," Elijah spoke with a wide smile on his face.
He had acknowledged Nux\'s strength. This man was more than capable of marrying his sister and he was glad to have someone like him as a brother-in-law, however, this didn\'t mean that he was planning to end the fight.
He won\'t lose, there is no way he would lose to a random human when he was destined to be the best for the entirety of his life.
At the same level, he has to be undefeatable!
With that determination in his mind, Elijah glanced at Nux, preparing to face his next wave of attacks.
Alaric glanced at his sister as well, the slight smile on his face was enough to tell what he was thinking.
Ambrosia, however, just shook his head.
"It is already over, Elijah."
Suddenly, Nux spoke up.
Then, he slowly \'walked toward Elijah.
"Are you looking down on me?" Elijah narrowed his eyes.
He barely had 10% of his Mana left since he used most of it to defend himself, but even then, he was still a body cultivator, he could still hold on without Mana, and with his Regeneration, he only needed 30 minutes to regain 50% of his Mana, this fight was still not over.
"The battle is over, Elijah," Nux repeated the same sentence again as he stood close to Elijah.
"You-" Elijah didn\'t bother holding back, with his left hand clenched tight, he aimed to punch Nux\'s face, hoping he would back away, freeing him some space to kick him, but then suddenly,
Elijah\'s body froze.
"Huh?"
Elijah\'s expression changed.
His body...
No matter what he did... he couldn\'t move it anymore...
Elijah tried resisting by moving the rest of his Mana,however, he couldn\'t even access that Mana let alone move it, he was completely trapped.
"The battle is over, Elijah."
Nux repeated again, this time, he slowly moved his hand and placed his finger next to Elijah\'s neck.
[Absolute Kinesis.]
Maybe because Elijah was a complete cultivator, it didn\'t work on him at the start of the battle, however, with Elijah using most of his Mana in defending himself, there was nothing he could do to protect himself from an unseeable move.
Elijah was completely helpless right now.
With his hand still near Elijah\'s neck like a sword, Nux glanced at Esme who stood near Orpheus.
Seeing him looking at her, Esme came out of her reverie and,
"T-The winner of the B-Battle, N-Nux Leander."
She announced the results.
No one reacted.
The audience, the heroes, and even the leaders of them were silent.
"W-What just happened...?" Alaric questioned as he glanced at his sister.
"I told you, did I not? That man is hiding many more secrets than you imagine." Ambrosia replied.
\'And he still hasn\'t revealed his full power yet.\' Ambrosia\'s words rang through Alaric\'s ears and he widened his eyes in shock.
"That\'s not his full power? Then how strong is he?\' he questioned back in surprise.
\'I cannot tell you that: Ambrosia smiled mysteriously. She couldn\'t say anything.
She had signed a contract after all.
Not because she wanted to rile her brother up, not at all.
"Anyways, should I do it now?" Ambrosia questioned. She couldn\'t continue chatting with her brother like this. If they were silent for too long, others would understand that they were using Mana to talk in secret and then finding the Mana\'s wavelength and peeking into their conversation wouldn\'t be difficult.
Alaric didn\'t reply.
Ambrosia took this as her cue, she turned around, and her eyes then fell on Nux.
\'You know what I am about to do, correct?" She questioned.
Nux simply smiled and moved back.
He didn\'t mind. He had good relations with the Vampires and wished to keep it that way. It didn\'t matter whether the people remember this battle or not, his main goal was something else.
He deactivated [Absolute Kinesis] then he turned towards a random direction and bowed his head.
"I hope I didn\'t disappoint you."
Nobody could understand who he was talking to. The leaders, however, were different.
\'Can he... sense her?"
\'No, it shouldn\'t be possible. Even I cannot sense her.\'
"There are many things he showed today that don\'t make sense. It is not an impossibility.
"You are thinking too much. Just like us, he knows that she is out there keeping an eye on him and looking at his battle, he is just bowing in a random direction hoping that she would understand his intentions.\'
\'He is a smart man.\'
"That he is.
The leaders nodded, then, Alaric glanced at Ambrosia. However, just as Ambrosia was about to use [Charm] again,
"Aunt Ambrosia, we do not have to do it.
I lost this battle fair and square and although I am disappointed, I am not embarrassed about it.
Brother Nux is strong, he is not some random human, he is the husband of my sister, he is a part of our family, and there is nothing we have to hide.
So there is no need of taking any extreme steps.
I accept my defeat."
