If only my wives were here...

"Would you like to form a Contract of Equal with me?"

"What...?"

Nawdren widened his eyes in disbelief, unable to believe that he received such a good offer. Nawdren wasn't a fool. He might be a Beast, but as a Pseudo Sage Level Beast, he had the intelligence of a human if not higher, he knew how to read between the lines.

The fact that this man knew about him being a Flying Linux wasn't difficult, the 'mythological beast' protecting this place was something the higher-ups in the society knew about.

However, the Blood Contract his grandfather accepted was an absolute secret that no one knew, even the Emperors of the Kingdoms didn't.

It wasn't hard for Nawdren to guess that this man was not from this continent, his strange abilities, his battle experience, the disdainful look on his face as if he couldn't believe he was sent to this backword place, the absolute confidence even when facing an enemy better than him and still overpowering the same enemy because of his skills and knowing the weakening barrier.

No more evidence was needed. This man was from Yrniel, and from the way he interacted, Nawdren could tell that even in Yrniel, this man was someone from the high society even in Yrniel.

Him saying that he was from the family his family served, the real family of the Sealed Continent's ancestor... That might not be a lie, this man... he might be a descendant of a Great Sage.

Getting the chance to sign a contract of equal with someone like that, Nawdren would be a fool to not accept it.

The offer he received was so good that his mind momentarily stopped working.

"Of-"

And...

That was all Nux needed.

Pierce

That little moment of carelessness was all Nux needed to completely pierce through the man-beast's heart, this time, he didn't stop, rather, he twisted the dagger he used and infused even more Essence into his weapon, making sure that the beast's heart is completely destroyed and stops functioning."Y-You..."

Nawdren couldn't believe what just happened, his blue eyes looked at Nux in shock.

"Khwaakkkk!!"

He coughed out blood and feeling the strength leaving his enemy's body, Nux's smile widened, "As you would expect from a beast, it was easy to fool you."

"You... I will kill you...!!"

Nawdren spoke, his claws moving towards Nux's face, this time, however, Nux simply grabbed his arm, blocking his attack. The man-beast had already lost most of his strength, and with no blood pumping in his system anymore, the beast would die soon, his body was already giving out.

"You coward... you tricked me..."

Sensing his powerlessness, Nawdren couldn't help but curse.

"As if that matters."

Nux just chuckled, then, his golden eyes shined brightly as his heavy voice echoed throughout the room, "You know this better than I do, Nawdren.

It is the victor that rights the past, the loser has no right."lightsnovel

Once again, Nux twisted the dagger in his hand, thoroughly crushing the Beast's heart. The shine in Nawdren's eyes began to fade and finally, Nux pushed his body away.

Thud

With a loud thud representing just how heavy the man-beast's body was, Nawdren fell on the ground, this time, not even having enough energy to move, let alone stand up.

He wanted to use his life force to end this bastard, with the ridiculous advantage he had, he knew the moment he used his Life Force, the battle would be over, however, with his heart, a vital organ, crushed, his Life Force seeped out and he lost control over it.

He was helpless.

lightsnοvεl Dying was his only option.

"H-How did you know about the Blood Contract...?" Suddenly, as if accepting his past, Nawdren's breathing returned to normal, then, he glanced at Nux with his hatred diminishing and being replaced by neutrality as he questioned.

Instead of answering, however, Nux turned towards the two Emperors, completely ignoring the Beast lying in front of him and, "Stop the War.

You don't want my people to interfere, do you?"

A sadistic smile appeared on Nux's face as he glanced at the two Emperors. A smile that sent goosebumps down the Emperors' spines.

"W-We will do what you said! We will cease the War!!"

Roone was the first to answer, Herms, of course, continued to nod to show his agreement.

"Good, you two might be Emperors who think you are above everything but...

In the grand scheme of things, an Emperor isn't even a disposable soldier. Don't force me to treat you like a bug you are."

Nux spoke with a disdainful look on his face.

"Now scram." He ordered and in an instant, the Emperors left.

Nux then glanced at Nawdren who was lying on the ground, seeing that the beast had finally stopped holding onto its life, his legs finally caved in as he fell on the floor, tired.

Even with him investing in STM stat, he was still not at the monstrous level where he had pretty much infinite stamina. Not to mention the enemy he faced was simply too strong.

Honestly, Nux could even go as far as saying that Nawdren was the strongest enemy he ever faced. It was the battle where he felt closest to death. His entire body gave in the moment he realized that he was alone and even now, his heart was beating rapidly.

'Haah... not having Regeneration is indeed annoying...'

Nux couldn't help but curse in his head.

He drank a few Mana and Health Potions and continued to rest. Of course, he was still alert of his surroundings, even though he had all the King, Expert and Grand Master Stage Cultivators in this Mansion under his control, the two Emperors were still a problem. He couldn't face them in his current situation, heck, even an Expert was enough to kill him right now.

Thinking about it, Nux chuckled inwardly.

'If only my wives were here...'

He muttered.

Even though only 2 years had passed, he was already missing his lovely wives...
