Chapter 1173 You were wrong. 1173 You were wrong. "What did you say…?" Arcturus, who was sitting on his huge throne looked down at the 5 Dragons kneeling in front of him and questioned. "…w-we failed." The Dragon who captured Skyla replied, not daring to lift his head and stuttering without stopping. With how his body was trembling, his mental state could be guessed quite easily. He was scared, no, he was horrified. The threat of Death that was looming over him, he could sense it. Arcturus's Golden eyes looking down on him, even though he had lowered his head and couldn't see the sight himself, he could still feel that suppressing gaze pushing him down. "Let me get this straight, 5 Divine Stage Cultivators enter a Clan where the Strongest Cultivator is merely a Semi Saint and you are still unable to complete a simple mission that was given to you?" Arcturus questioned, his tone was extremely calm, that, however, was what made him so horrifying. The Dragon Lord was known for his spontaneous nature. He was susceptible to losing his calm and loses his temper at even the slightest of the problems. Now, however, the same being was reacting in a manner so calm that even his own people were having a hard time believing that it was the same Lord whom they had served for centuries. This icy cold calmness in his tone, it was scary. "…" The Five Divine Stage Dragons kneeling on the floor had nothing to say. "What should I infer from this situation? Does it mean that my subordinates who prided themselves to be the strongest dragons are actually useless and can't even handle a Semi Saint or does this mean that I was underestimating my opponent this whole time?" "L-Lord Arcturus, y-you did not make a mistake, your judgments were absolutely correct, we had actually managed to successfully capture one of his wives, however, just as we were about to return, that man appeared. I did capture him using my Aura, however, it was too late when I realized that it was merely a Clone and not his real self. By then, he had already run away with the woman and after that, the entire clan which was previously filled with people, was emptied out. Honestly, that Clone of his was so perfect that even if it appeared in front of me again, I doubt I would be able to tell it apart from the real person, it had the same breathing, heart rate, and Mana Flow, it was almost as if I was standing in front of another Devil. We need t-" The Dragon spoke, he wanted to explain himself further, however, "What did you say…?" He suddenly noticed Arcturus's expression changing and in that instant, the Dragon understood what he had to say from now on to get out of this messy situation and save his life. "That is correct, My Lord. After we captured Nux's wife, the Devil appeared and saved her. He seemed to have gotten much stronger than before, even stronger than the current Nux who defeated a Saint. lightsΝοvel.cοm His [Illusion] Clone was strong enough to fool even Divine Stage Cultivators. I have never seen an Incubus capable of doing something like that. My Lord, I believe we need to look into the matter more deeply, I'd even say that we should discuss it once with the Incubus Lord of the Lust State, once we have all the relevant knowledge, now that we already know that that bastard is together with the ExceedoGenesis, We can attack again and this time, We will not fail." Arcturus was a vengeful man. He still hadn't forgotten how the Devil had hurt his son and disrespected him in front of everyone and there was no way the Dragon Lord was going to let this matter go. The Dragons knew this, therefore, he decided to use this fact to his own advantage and his plan worked. "So the Devil was with the ExceedoGenesis all along. No wonder that human bastard wasn't willing to tell me where he was. He was hiding him in his own clan." Arcturus muttered, his anger soaring as he recalled how both Nux and Devil made a mockery out of him. "I have decided. That Devil came in front of Divine Stage Cultivators in order to protect Nux's wife, didn't he? That must mean they are quite close to each other. I won't end with just the Devil alone. I will show them what it is like to see your loved one getting beaten to death right in front of them. I will show them true despair. I will kill, not only Devil but Nux Leander and all his wives as well." Arcturus declared but then, "Arcturus, you need to calm down." An extremely beautiful woman walked into the room. She was Ignatia Blaze, Arcturus's Strongest wife and the second in command when related to matters regarding the Dragon Continent. "You want me to calm down…?" Hearing his wife's words, Arcturus narrowed his eyes. "Ignatia, that man almost killed our son and humiliated me in front of thousands of people, he smeared our reputation through the mud and you want me to calm down? Vedier is your son as well, how can you, as a mother, take this lying down? Even if you weren't there to witness the battle, didn't you see your son's condition when he returned? He nearly died!" "It was a duel, Arcturus." Ignatia spoke. "You were in the wrong for trying to interrupt the Duel. That Incubus did nothing wrong. Also, do not forget, that he has Lady Vyriana supporting him, one wrong move and it could be catastrophic for the entire Continent. So calm your anger and think like a competent ruler, not an immature child who cannot accept his mistakes." Ignatia's words were harsh, however, they were meaningful. Arcturus needed to do some self-reflection and with how the Dragon Lord stayed silent as his wife spoke, it seemed like her words were working. But then, "Lord! Lord!" Another servant rushed into the hall with a shocked expression on his face. "What is it?" Ignatia questioned as she narrowed her eyes, not liking the servant's attitude. "I-It's the ExceedoGenesis, They released an official statement!" .
