1034 You can still join in, you know? I won't mind.

"You don't have something better to show? I gave you 10 seconds for this, you know?"

Nux questioned. The look of sheer disappointment on his face was disheartening, especially for someone like Ariana, who took pride in her spells.

Seeing her strongest spell being blocked by this man like it was nothing, Ariana was shocked.

He didn't even have a single scratch on him, let alone scratched, that man looked bored! It was as if her spell didn't even make him put in the effort!

"Shut your trap, you aren't any better eithe-"

Elijah wanted to retort as he tried to sneak behind Nux and attacked with his sword.

*Clank*

Nux, however, blocked his sword with his own, then, he rolled back in the air and,

"Was that a sneak attack?

Who the fuck shouts before his sneak attacks connects?

Were you trying to warn me or something?"

"That is correct I thought it would be a pity if this battle ended here, so I decided to warn you beforehand. Good job on managing to block my sword."

Elijah snorted.

Obviously, he didn't mean what he said, he was surprised that Nux actually did manage to block his sword, from his point of view, he had perfectly used Ariana's spell as a cover to sneak behind Nux and attack him, his attack shouldn't have been blocked this easily.

"Wait, aren't you the one who got his ass handed to him by a human?

I heard he came to your continent and defeated you there.

To act this cocky after being embarrassed in front of your own people, I have to give it to you man,

You are dumb as fuck.

One would think that you would act humble after that embarrassing defeat, but here you ar-"

"You talk too fucking much!" Before Nux could complete his words, Elijah rushed towards him and attacked.

In each of his attacks, Nux simply blocked, defended, or deflected while he continued to step down towards the ground.

"Heh."

Then suddenly a big smile anneared on a 12-meter-tall bearded man, he was the Dwarven Hero, Balin.

While Ariana was preparing her spell, he wasn't idle either, he was making some changes in the very stage they were fighting in and now that everything was prepared and Nux was finally where Balin wanted him to be, a hearty smile appeared on Balin's face as he activated his trap.

5 moving artifacts appeared in the air as they surrounded Nux, then, without giving him any type to react, the artifacts formed a shield around Nux and,

*BOOOM*

An explosion happened right inside the shield with Nux trapped inside.

He had nowhere to go, and neither could he resist the attack. Smoke filled up the shield, Balin finally removed the shield, letting the smoke clear up, but then,

Balin frowned in confusion, even blinking a few times and rubbing his eyes just to make sure that he wasn't seeing things.

Nux was nowhere to be seen.

Balin clearly saw him being trapped into the shield and then being caught up in the explosion, the Devil should be gravely injured right now, this attack of his should have given them the advantage they needed and they should have won the battle from here.

The Devil, however, had completely disappeared.

Balin looked around, trying to find where he was, however, none of the heroes could sense him.

"The fuck are you trying to do, Pipsqueak? What is that? A 10-year-old's toy?

I mean, I get that you have the height of a 10-year-old, but is that the same for your head as well?"

Nux appeared behind Balin and then kicked his head.

He had used Blink Fault the moment he realized he was trapped, this time, he didn't have to use *Essence* to enhance it, just the basic ability was enough to do what he wanted.

Vulpiana Dawnshade, the Foxkin, and the Beastmen Hero narrowed her eyes when she sensed what Nux had just done. Her golden eyes shined brightly as she glanced at Nux.

Balin's small body flew away and he comically rolled onto the stage from the impact. However, once he finally stabilized, rather than getting angry about getting hit, he was angrier about what Nux said.

"What did you say!?" Balin shouted.

"I said that you are dumb as fuck as well. What the hell are you even trying to do? Creating artifacts that only work when the opponent is on the ground? What are you going to do if the entire battle turns out to be an airborne battle?

Be a short little burden you are?

Well now that I think about it, that does suit a shorty like you."Original content from .

"You bastard!" Balin shouted in hatred, not liking this Incubus at all.

Nux, however, was already dealing with someone else.

*Slash* *Slash* *Slash*

Norana Nightshade continued to attack Nux using her dagger, Nux dodged all her attacks, and his reaction speed was much quicker than the Shadow Demon.

And would it not be, his reflexes were trained to the limit, he spent 50 years battling different Star Beasts, not to mention the Boost *Essence* gave to his overall body was much stronger than Norana's body, which was boosted by simple Mana.

That, combined with *Essence* and [Sense] made Nux simply untouchable at his own level.

*Clank*

Suddenly, Norana's attack was blocked by a Purple Black wall that appeared out of nowhere. Norana frowned, she was about to cut through the wall, but then,

*Whoosh*

A Spike popped out of the wall and aimed for her head, Norana barely dodged the attack, however, it wasn't over. Another Spike formed from the Spike that had attacked her, Norana dodged that spike but the same process repeated again.

Soon, Norana noticed that the ground under her feet had turned purple-black as well, boosting her instincts to maximum, Norana prepared herself.

*Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh*

Soon, she found herself surrounded by countless Purple Black Spikes, each of them coming after her, aiming for her life. Norana dodged each of those spikes and destroyed them as she did that. She showed her crazy reflexes, not allowing even a single spike to touch her body.

In all that, however, she didn't realize that she had already lost her target. Not only she, but other Heroes also realized that as he hid behind these purple-black walls, they all had completely lost Nux again.

He was nowhere to be seen.

Of course, they couldn't have known that Nux had activated [Conceal], combined with *Essence*, Conceal was by far one of Nux's greatest techniques, using the fact that they couldn't see her, Nux walked towards the hero who interested him the most.

"Aahhh~ I always wanted to bury my head in these."

Nux sighed in relief as he buried his head into Vulpiana's six furry tails.

"Aaahh!"

Vulpiana, who could finally see Nux was surprised, her entire body flinched in shock and she quickly jumped back, looking at Nux with a wary look on her face.

The Devil pouted in disappointment.

"Your tails are lovely, Vulpiana Dawnshade."

He commented.

Vulpiana didn't say anything and continued to stare at her with a strange look on her face.

"I want to touch those ears as well.

Can I do it? I promise I will go easy on you if you allow me to."

This time, Nux asked for permission.

He was a good man, after all.

Vulpiana narrowed her eyes.

"Easy on her? You talk like you already won!"

Suddenly, Lucious, the Human Hero attacked Nux with his sword.

*Clank*

Nux blocked his attack, then, he kicked his abdomen, sending him flying.

"Ugghhh!" The Human Hero groaned in pain.

Nux didn't stop, dodging through the other heroes, he rushed towards Lucious and kicked his head, then, he hit Lucious's face with his knee, disfiguring his nose in the process.

Lucious could feel his vision blurring.

Then, Nux started.

"I do not get it, what are you even trying to do?"

"..."

Lucious, of course, was not in a condition to say anything.

Nux shrugged and continued,

"Elven Hero as a Mage, Demon Hero as an Assassin, Dwarven Hero as an Artifact Master, Vampire Hero as an all-rounder, balancing the team, Dragon Hero because, well, let's say his strength, and the Beastmen Hero because she is cute,

Where do you stand in all this?

Why are you even here?

I mean, you can simply just leave and it wouldn't make any difference to the Seven Heroes."

Nux completed.

*Clank*

"You attacked without shouting like a fool, that's better than before, congratulations, you have improved."

Nux praised as he smiled at Elijah.

"Maybe you people should take my tips and train for like a thousand years,

Then you can try battling my children, I am sure you will be good sparring partners for them."

Nux spoke as he parried Elijah's attack and kicked him again.

Elijah's body flew back, he wanted to turn into Mist to reduce the impact, however, Nux was already standing where he was about to land.

He couldn't turn into Mist.

Nux's smile widened. Then, he rushed towards Elijah and,

"Ugghhh!!"

*Bam*

Kicked his body mid-air, trashing it to the ground.

Then, Nux glanced at Vedier and,

"You can still join in, you know? I won't mind."
