In the end, Astaria and the others decided to follow Erotica's words.
Yes, they decided to abandon their people and run away. A choice Astaria absolutely hated, but honestly, this was the only choice she had.
Out of all of them here, only her, Riona, Ember, and Evane were the ones who actually wanted to stay here and protect the people.
Amaya's thoughts were simple, if it is not about Nux, she won't care and something that could put Nux at risk, there is no way she would agree to do something like that.
Thyra was an Assassin, others dying due to her actions has never really scared her, she had zero sense of responsibility for anyone who is not Nux.
Allura, Edda, Skyla, Lane, and Felberta, were the same as well, they never cared about the people, well, they did, but not to the level where they would sacrifice their own life for them.
They were not that noble.
The only person Felberta cared about other than Nux and her sisters was her child, and since Erotica already said they could take 1000 people with them, she knew that her son would be safe. She very much preferred what Erotica said.
As for Nux, well, honestly, his thoughts were similar as well, the only ones he cared about were his wives, he didn't care about the people, however, if Astaria really wants them to stay and fight, he would support her, even if it meant dying. Therefore, he just stood there and waited for Astaria.
Astaria sensed all of that, she knew the moment she said she wanted to fight, Nux would support her and if he supports her, all her sisters would follow her as well, however, she wasn't willing to sacrifice everyone's life just because of her own selfishness, therefore,
"We will be relying on you, Erotica."
Hearing those words, Erotica's smile widened,
"You can leave everything to me!"
She replied with a cheerful look on her face.
"So are we going to the demon continent?"
Nux questioned.
"Heh, indeed you are."
Erotica chuckled.
"Starting with the demon continent directly huh…
Can't say if that is lucky or unlucky."
Suddenly, all of them heard a voice, they turned around and saw Maya and Varena walking toward them.
"What do you mean?" Nux questioned.
"Well, I do not wish to brag, but, the Demon Continent, also known as The Liar of Demons, one of the Largest and Strongest Continents in Yrniel.
In a certain way, the Demons Continent would prepare you for what you will face throughout the continent, but at the time… it is just as dangerous.
Of course, that is, if you do not wish to stay in the State of Sex Demons until you grow strong enough to defend yourself.
There, you wouldn't have to worry about anything."
Maya replied.
"Oh? And why is that? Didn't you say that even Sages were considered weak in Yrniel?"
Amaya questioned.
"Heh, you don't have to worry about that. Strength is not everyt-" Maya was about to reply, however, before she could complete,
"Just trust us and follow us, okay?"
Erotica interrupted as she glanced at Maya.
Maya finally realized that she was speaking more than required and turned silent. Varena quickly jumped in and glanced at Nux,
"You finally became an Emperor, congratulations."
"Same to you, you have gained quite a lot, didn't you?"
Nux replied with a smile.
"I have." Varena smiled,
"That's why, I wanted to see something and I hope you will help me with that."
"Hmm?" Nux tilted his head in confusion.
"I want to spar, I wish to see how much I have improv-"
Before Varena could even complete, she felt something touching her neck, she slowly lowered her gaze and noticed it was a hand…
"That was a good attempt to change the topic, but on a serious note, don't try to judge your strength using me as a scale,
I don't want to brag, but I am pretty strong."
Nux replied with a small smile on his face.
"…"
Varena didn't say anything.
Her mind was only occupied with one thing,
'When?'
Just when did this man get behind her? He was standing right in front of her? When did he even move?
Also, if he appeared behind her at such a high speed, then why did she not feel anything?
Varena's mind was full of questions.
And she wasn't alone.
"Nux,"
Erotica called out.
"I request for a spar as well."
She was now a Sage, assumably the strongest person here. She was even considering forcefully dragging Nux into her bed.
"Alright, I wish to know how strong a Sage can be as well."
Nux replied with a small smile on his face.
"Alright, but let's not fight here. This place would… well, it would turn barren if we fight here. I know a place, follow me."
Erotica spoke up.
"I doubt the fight would last that long, but alright,"
Erotica ignored Nux's words and started running.
Nux followed behind her, Erotica noticed his expression and just as she expected, he was having no difficulties in keeping up with her.
In the end, Erotica purposefully slowed down, allowing others to follow them as well.
5 Minutes later, they all walked into the Forbidden Region of the Bloodhill Wilderness.
A plain ground of a radius of 2 km, a place perfect for a battle between the Sages.
Both Nux and Erotica stood 100 meters away from each other.
Without wasting any time, a Magic Circle formed in front of Erotica's hand, the temperature around us increased,
"I can finally use the full potential of all my spells because the Mana Density here is now similar to the Demon Continent."
Erotica spoke with a small smile on her face,
Then, her face turned serious and, : owner of this content.
"Lance Of Death."
She muttered and the Magic Circle in front of her hand shined brightly and sucked in Mana crazily,
Soon, the Fire Elements in the air moved as well, amplified by the Mana, a Lance made of Fiery Flames was formed and,
*Whoosh*
Without wasting any time, it shot towards Nux, leaving behind a trail of flames so hot that it burned through the ground.
Seeing the Fire Lance moving towards him, Nux's expression changed,
"Now that's dangerous."
He spoke and then, he waved his hand.
