Chapter 224 Your Power Is Not Evil, Right? "AAAAGGHHHHHH!!!" After the Mist disappeared, a stinging pain assaulted Nux's mind and he screamed in pain. "NUX!" Thyra had heard what happened to Two and Three, so she decided to walk towards the Training Ground and see what Nux was doing. There, she saw this huge Black Mist that was spread all over the place and decided to wait. The Mist then disappeared and a smile appeared on Thyra's face. 'Heh, let's surprise him from behind~' She thought inwardly, however, soon, she heard his scream and rushed towards him. "NUX!" Thyra appeared near Nux and grabbed his hands in worry. Her eyes then fell on Nux's face and it worried her even more. Nux's face was as pale as paper, veins had popped out on his head while he gritted his teeth. It was clear how much pain he was in, however, since Thyra was here, he controlled himself and did not scream anymore. "Are you okay!?" Thyra questioned in worry as she patted his back with one hand and held his hand with her another. "I-I am fine. Don't worry." Nux answered in a hoarse voice. "That doesn't look fine to me! Look at your face!" Thyra retorted in panic. "D-Don't worry, I am fine, I am not lying. The pain is reducing as well." Nux muttered, his voice was a lot better than before. "A-Are you sure…?" Thyra questioned, she was about to cry when she saw him smiling at her so weakly, she did not like this at all. "Trust me, I am fine…" Nux answered and then, he felt his eyes turning heavy. "I… I just need some sleep…" Then, he closed his eyes and his head fell on Thyra's shoulder as he passed out. Thyra panicked even more, however, she soon noticed that Nux's face had started regaining its colour and those veins had disappeared as well. His breathing was calm, pulse and heartbeat were a little faster than usual, however, it wasn't lethal. Thyra sighed in relief. Then, she picked Nux up and walked toward his room. … 8 hours later, Nux opened his eyes and as soon as he did, he was greeted by the sight of 5 beautiful women looking at him with worried looks on their faces. 'Huh? What happened?' His memories were still a little hazy, however, soon, he recalled what had happened. He then turned towards his girls and smiled, "Don't worry you guys, I am fine." Thyra, Skyla, Lane, Felberta and Edda who were looking at him sighed. "How much time has passed since I passed out?" Nux questioned. "8 hours," Thyra answered. "Oh…" Nux nodded. He then glanced outside the window and saw it was already midnight. "So we all missed our sessions for today, huh…" he muttered in disappointment. "Don't worry about that, we will make up for it later." "Yes, your health is much more important." "Mhm, I have contacted Sister Allura as well, she is worried about you, she wanted to come here however, I told her not to." "You did a good job." Nux smiled and Edda smiled back. Nux then glanced at Felberta and muttered, 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎 "You didn't have to return either, you need to get proper rest so that you can get used to your work again." "It's not like I am doing it for the first time, I will go back once you are fine," Felberta answered. Yes, after enjoying her stay here in Alg- Nux's mansion, she decided to return and continue her work as a Viscount. She can't leave everything to Joyab after all. "I am fine now," Nux muttered. "No, you are not fine, you need to rest today." Felberta muttered, "Yes, Sister Allura said the same thing as well, she says that you do not have to go there today, just rest here." Edda nodded. "Yes, you need to rest," Thyra muttered and Lane nodded as well. "Alright, alright, I will rest." Nux nodded helplessly. "Nux…" Suddenly, Skyla called out. Nux glanced at him and saw a worried look on her face, "What happened? Why do you look so tensed?" He questioned with a gentle smile. "Your power… it is not something evil that is harming you, is it?" Skyla questioned. Nux just shook his head and chuckled, "My cute little Skyla, anything that is black doesn't mean it's evil. It is not harming my body at all, don't worry." "Then how did you pass out?" Skyla questioned. "I just overused that ability, nothing more," Nux answered. Actually, he wasn't sure about this either, however, right now, that is the only plausible explanation that comes to his mind. There has to be a limit on his ability, else it was a little too absurd, maybe this is some sort of limit. He needs to test it out a little more. "Alright…" "Mhm, don't worry, I am fine now and will make sure not to overuse the ability again." "You better." Skyla pouted. "Alright everyone, leave the room now. Nux needs to sleep." Thyra muttered and everyone left the room. 'Nux, are you okay!?' After everyone left, Nux heard Allura's panicked voice in his head and smiled. Then, after talking with her for a while and calming her down, he broke the telepathic link and his face turned serious. He raised his hand and soon, Black Mist came out of his palm. Seeing the Devouring Mist, a big sigh escaped out of Nux's mouth. 'I can still use it…' He was scared that he won't be able to use his Mist, and he didn't want to lose this ridiculous ability like this. However, his fears were unfounded and he can use it just fine. He checked and saw that everything else was fine as well. It was as if what happened a few hours ago did not happen at all. 'I need to think more about what happened. It most probably happened because I might have overused the ability. But what did I overuse? What is required to use the Devouring Mist? There are still a lot of things about Physiques that I don't know about. The Mantra of Devouring Mist Demon doesn't help either. There is nothing that can help me in the shop as well.' Nux thought inwardly and sighed again. 'Haah… Looks like the only person I can rely on is myself.'
