"Is that…?"
Evane spoke with a doubtful look on her face as she glanced at the black battlefield in front of her.
"Mhm, Midnight Devourer."
Felberta confirmed.
"He is using that already?"
Astaria questioned with a frown on her face.
The races of these worlds tend to have some sort of ultimate ability, it was a sort of trump card that they used to not only win battles but to induce fear and strengthen their authority.
These Ultimate abilities were strong and the women, who had faced these beings had seen almost all the Ultimate abilities these beings had,
Even the one Selvith was currently using.
Midnight Devourer,
The Ultimate Ability of the Volareth Race.
The Ability that allows a Volareth to summon abyssal darkness that covers the battlefield in an inky black void. Within this void, they are invisible, no smell, no sound, and no Aura leaks, in this state, it is nigh impossible to sense a Volareth.
On the other hand, the Volareth using this ability will be able to move freely, striking their enemies from the shadows.
The darkness also drains the life force of enemies, weakening them over time, and bolsters the Voraleth's own strength, speed, and senses, making them nigh invincible within the void.
It was quite an annoying ability, even when the Divine Stage Volareths used it on the battlefield,
As for a Primordial using it, the women knew it would be much stronger and devastating.
"You would think that a Primordial would have the pride to at least go easy on an opponent who is one stage below him."
Vyriana commented, she looked quite disappointed.
"He cannot be blamed here, his life is at stake."
Aeliana replied as she glanced at her friend.
Her suggestion wasn't like normal Vampire's, it was powered by her Law as well, so for Selvith, it was no different than a do-or-die situation. He had to go all out.
All the women stared at Aeliana and the Vampire felt wronged,
"What? It is only fun if the opponent goes all out, is it not?"
"…"
The women, however, were dead silent.
"Tsk."
Aeliana snorted.
"You girls should learn how to trust your husband,
I trust him enough to let him fight against a Primordial when he told me I was his Master."
Aeliana then glanced at Melia and,
"I am quite sure that my disciple would never lie to me."
"…"
Melia looked away.
Aeliana's smile widened and she continued,
"I trust him more than you girls and I am not even his wife yet.
Tsk tsk, I can only imagine how disappointed he would be."
Aeliana shook her head continuously, wanting to tease these women.
"Yet…?"
Amaya, however, heard what had to be heard.
The woman narrowed her eyes as she stared at the Vampire and,
"What do you mean by you are not even his wife 'yet'?
Lady Aeliana, what is going on in that mind of yours?"
This time, it wasn't just Amaya, all the women were staring at Aeliana with piercing eyes.
Aeliana blinked a few times, even she herself couldn't believe what she had just said, it was an unconscious action, the words must have left her mouth while she was trying to tease these women, or it migh-
*BOOOOOM*
Before Aeliana could come up with more reasonings or the women could further pierce some holes into her bodies using their gazes, a loud explosion was heard.
The women turned towards the battlefield and they all blinked in surprise when they realized the battlefield had returned to normal and the Black Void had vanished without a spot.
The women stared at the man standing in the middle of the battlefield then, their eyes fell on the opponent who simply couldn't believe what happened,
"H-How…?"
There were question marks all over Selvith's face.
"That's odd? Did I overestimate you or something?"
Nux questioned out loud as he started thinking, holding his chin with one hand.
"Y-Y-You! How did you do it!?"
Selvith questioned, his voice shaky, full of anger and… fear.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
A being simply nullified his Ultimate Ability, not to mention that the said being was only an Ultimate Stage Powerhouse!
Just how was this possible!?
In an instant, Selvith turned towards Aeliana.
"You! Kill me if you intend to humiliate me in this manner! I will never accept my defeat if you keep meddling with the battle from the sidelines, if you wish to make a move, then do it yourself!
This is the least level of respect you can show to your opponent, who, just like you, broke through the limits."
Selvith shouted.
He wasn't ready to believe that an Ultimate Stage Powerhouse was able to nullify his attack, not even for a single second.
And this… offended Nux.
"Oi."
He called out.
Of course, Selvith completely ignored the small fry.
A grave mistake.
*BOOOM*
With cracks appearing where he stood, Nux disappeared and appeared right next to Selvith,
"How about I show you how I did it, on my own? Here, this is a live demonstration, just for you."
Saying those words, Nux punched.
Breaking the barriers of sound, Nux's punch came into direct contact with Selvith, who couldn't react since his focus was on Aeliana.
Yes, Selvith's body did prepare a shield to protect him at the last moment, however,
*Crack*
*BOOOOOM*
It didn't matter.
Nux's punch collided with Selvith's chest and the Volareth's body was sent flying, colliding with the barrier Aeliana's created before falling on the ground.
"Kkwaakkhh!! Kwwaahhhkkhh!!"
Selvith coughed out blood, looking at Nux with absolute horror in his eyes. He tried standing up but his trembling body gave in and he fell onto the ground again.
'W-What is this monster…?'
He couldn't understand.
He couldn't sense anything.
No energy, no Aura, no Law… this monster didn't use anything!
It was pure physical strength!
And…
His ribcage was broken.
No, broken was a weak word, his ribcage was shattered into pieces, most of his bones were currently piercing his organs. The only reason he was even alive was because his vitality as the one who broke the limits was much stronger than a normal Powerhouse.
And…
And to think all of this happened because of one single punch.
Selvith was horrified.
And it wasn't just him, even the women who were seeing the battle from outside were the same.
"I-Is… this supposed to be that easy…?"
