1036 This battle is over

"There is no way he didn't return with something ridiculously surprising that raises his strength to a monstrous level,

After all, this is Nux we are talking about."

'You seem confident.'

Vyriana smiled, finding Astaria's reaction a bit cute.

'I am confident.'Astaria replied.

Vyriana shook her head.

Astaria was still too young right now.

Nux could suppress other Cultivators and overpower his opponents easily because he was a Complete Cultivator while others around him were Incomplete Cultivators, now, however, he was facing the Seven Heroes.

There was no wa-

Suddenly, Vyriana's expression changed.

It was not just her, Vedier and the rest of the Heroes were taken aback as well.

Especially Elijah.

"Huh..."

His eyes widened in horror as he glanced at the Purple Black Spike covered in blood coming out of his chest.

"You people are stronger than I thought, I will give you that." Nux, who was currently blocking Norana's dagger spoke with a slight smile on his face.

Sensing danger, Norana quickly jumped back.

Nux smiled and he distanced himself from the Six Heroes as well.

His eyes then fell on Elijah, who still couldn't believe what happened.

With all of them working together, they had successfully suppressed the Devil, they were clearly in a winning position, however, Elijah knew that the Devil was a tricky opponent.

The Six Heroes, even though they had an advantage, they hadn't lowered their guard, they were all in their battle stance, completely aware of their surroundings, reacting to even the smallest of changes.

That was the reason why they put Nux in such a helpless position, they weren't leaving any openings at all. Elijah kept an eye on his surroundings at all times,

Then how did...

How did this Spike slip through his defenses and pierce through his chest?

"Anyways, let's end this now, shall we?"

Elijah then heard the Devil's voice. Hearing those words, he recalled a certain human. The way these two talked, it was too similar. It was almost as if this Incubus in front of him was Nux.

Elijah then shook his head.

"The heat of the battle is getting me. I am thinking nonsensical stuff!'

He thought inwardly, then, he glanced at the Incubus in front of him with a solemn look on his face, confused about what he was about to do.

"I prepared this for the Dragon Hero, but whatever."

The Devil shrugged, then, he disappeared.

It was the [Blink Fault.]

This time, however, it was not just normal Blink Fault, it was combined being used together with *Essence*.

These past 50 years, Nux had spent them on understanding and finding different ways of using *Essence*.

Yes, *Essence* was just that mysterious and strong.

Nux needed 50 entire years to actually understand how to use it and even now, he hadn't understood the entire thing.

What he did understand, however, was one thing.

The System was created from *Essence*

No, this didn't Nux was now capable of creating another System, he was far from that level yet, what he could do, however, was to 'hack into the System and change its 'settings.'

Of course, it was much more complicated than it sounded and there were not a lot of things Nux could do at his level, however, he could play with his Abilities to some extent.

Strengthening his abilities using *Essence* for example, he had been doing this for a long time now, *Essence* was unremarkably compatible with his System Abilities, making it easier for Nux to use it.

In these 50 years, however, Nux learned another thing,

Mixing his System Abilities in order to create a completely new Ability.

This technique needed a complete understanding of the Abilities involved and a high-level use of *Essence*.

Nux actually thought this was a crazy idea when he first thought about it and even after trying his best, he couldn't do it. Something inside him, however, continued to push him into doing it.

Nux tried and changed different approaches and 10 years later, he finally succeeded for the first time.

Then, he didn't look back.

Nux's abilities were already a cheat, but with now there being a way of combining them together, Nux was walking onto the path of Absolute Dominance.

Creating abilities which were just... broken...

Just like the Combination Ability he was using right now,

[Blink Fault], [Conceal], and [Dark Amethyst]

Nux combined these three techniques to create something that shouldn't exist.

Using the [Blink Fault], he entered the different Dimension, getting away from the eyes of his enemies, this time, however, instead of looking to appear and continue the fight, Nux decided to stay inside that Dimension, using *Essence* to protect his body from the damage this Dimension causes, then, from inside that Dimension, Nux activated [Dark Amethyst].

His [Dark Amythest] wasn't normal either, it was combined with [Concea] which was boosted by *Essence*.

So now, the Six Heroes were in a position where they couldn't tell where the Devil was.

And what's worse?

They had to defend against Deadly Dark Amethyst Spikes coming for their lives.

"Uggghhh!!"

Spikes that they couldn't even see or sense before they had already pierced through them.

As one gets stronger, their 'instincts' get sharper as well and for someone at the level of the Six Heroes, their Instincts were sharpened to the level where it wouldn't be wrong to say that they can predict the future to some extent.

This was the reason Nux couldn't just use [Conceal] to hide his presence and then later end the battle. 5 out of 10 times, they would predict his attack and move accordingly.

Now, however, the Heroes were stuck in a helpless position, they could predict Nux's attack and react accordingly, then keep their eyes on him all the time and not allow him to use [Conceal] again, but with Concealed Dark Amethyst Spikes, it didn't matter.

They could dodge or block its attack one time and reveal its presence, but this didn't affect the other 100s of other Concealed Spikes Nux had prepared for them.

Predicting the Future based on Instincts alone was a possibility, not surety, it depended on the Heroes' luck, however, even if their luck was maxed out, dodging 100s of Spikes that they couldn't see or sense was absolutely impossible.

"Khhhkk!"

"Aaagghhh!!"

One by one, the Heroes started getting injured. Some ofthem tried to fly into the Sky, trying to dodge the Spikesthat seemed to be coming from the ground.

However, then something even more horrifying happened.

"Uggghhh!"

Elijah groaned in pain as his thigh was pierced through,his eyes fell on the Spike that was now visible, and seeing it coming out of a Portal, Elijah's eyes widened in surprise.

Yes, Nux was using [Core] to get rid of the movementproblem of the Spikes.

Elijah wanted to cry and he wasn't alone, all Six Heroes were in a similar position.

Whether it was the Skies or the Ground, there was nothing they could do against something that they couldn't sense.

Their bodies were filled with cuts and holes, the only Spikes that were visible were the ones that had successfully attacked them, and, even those spikes disappeared if they did not keep their eyes on them and then later attacked them again.

The Heroes were helpless.

How were they supposed to fight in this situation?

Nux, who was sitting inside another Dimension had a small smile on his face as he saw how the Heroes were struggling desperately.

This was the Ultimate ability he had created, this was the technique using which he toyed around with 10 and even 11 Star Beasts.

It was something that made him invincible, even 12 Star Beasts, who were comparable to Divine Stage Cultivators couldn't sense his presence in this state, in the Waranal Dimension, he walked like an absolute being.

This was the technique that made it possible.

The Seven Heroes were never anything in his eyes. exclusive content.

Right now, he could even fight against Saint Stage Cultivators, in front of the Ultimate Technique he created,all the difference between Cultivation Stages or even the Cultivation Phases, it was all for null.

Thinking about it, Nux stood up. Then, he decided to appear next to Vulpiana, he pointed his dagger at her neck, while his other hand was on her waist.

He could feel her soft tails on his crotch, it was heaven, Nux couldn't help but recall the time he buried his face into those fluffy tails.

'Fox girls are supreme...'

Nux muttered in his head, the cultured man inside him was getting uncontrollable.

This woman, he had decided, he would make her his.

"What... are you trying to do...?"

Noticing that he wasn't doing anything and was just feeling her up, Vulpiana questioned with a strange look on her face.

Hearing her voice, Nux finally came out of his reverie,

Then he glanced at Elijah and,

"Surrender, Elijah.

You should know that you lost.

The only reason you people are even alive is because I am avoiding your heads, necks, and hearts,

So give up,

This battle is over."
