Chapter 1120 I would prefer a lap pill- "You can choose a leader of your lot yourself, I will also make sure that this man won't be coming to Waranal no matter what happens, so don't expect anything, everything will be in your hands. I hope you survive." Vyriana spoke with an expressionless look on her face as she sent the women away. Now, the only ones left in the Veiled Eden were Nux and the Dragon Woman. And it hadn't even been a complete minute since the women had left and Nux's face was already down. "This is important for their good, Nux." "I understand." Nux nodded. If he was being honest, he didn't like this situation at all. It was too unsafe, however, seeing that his wives were determined to pull through, he decided to place his trust in them. Not to mention that for some reason, there was this strange assurance in his mind that since they were following Vyriana's arrangements, nothing was going to happen. Because of all this, Nux decided to not think about all this for a while and turned towards Vyriana. "So where are we going?" He questioned. "Hmm?" Vyriana tilted her head in confusion. "You said that you will be taking me to a different place. Where is it? Where are we going?" Nux repeated his question. "Ah that." Vyriana recalled, "We will be going to Waranal as well." "Waranal?" Nux frowned in confusion. "What? Did you really think I would leave them alone? What if they encounter a 12 Star beast? There is no way they can defeat that thing and would be crushed in an instant. Planning and strategy can only take you so far, but as I said before, Waranal is a dangerous place, do I look like someone who would intentionally send my students to their death?" Vyriana questioned and since what Vyriana was saying aligned with his interest, Nux used all his willpower to not nod his head and stayed silent. The Dragon woman raised her reaction at his strange reaction, but in the end, she just ignored him and, "I will be protecting them in secret, your presence is not required. You can even sleep here, using the time difference, it would be easier for you to wait for your lovely wives as well." "No, I am coming together with you." There was no way he was going to leave this chance. "Heh. You are doing an awful lot for someone who planned to abandon his wives in a dangerous dimension for 50 long years. Are you sure that you actually love those women? They would be so sad when they get to know about this." This time, the one who was doing the teasing was Vyriana. Nux's mouth twitched in frustration, if only he could pin this woman down and get his revenge. Of course, Nux didn't have any death wish. "I only did it because I trusted that you would have a way to ensure my wives' safety. My trust in you is almost blind, it stems from my love, after all." Nux replied. Vyriana stared at him for a while, then, she decided. "You are annoying. So you will be staying here." "I was only jo-" "Nux Leander, you will be staying here." Vyriana spoke, this time, her tone was much firmer than before. "50 years is a long time for someone like you. You have already spent nearly two centuries in that place, I don't want you to spend any more time there." "I understand." Hearing her reasons, Nux had no choice but to give up. Vyriana nodded, "Now do you want me to punch you to sleep or would you like to sleep by yourself." "I would prefer a lap pill-" Vyriana punched. This time, however, Nux dodged as he glanced at Vyriana and, "A lap pillow would be better." "Zenith Flow…" Vyriana muttered. Then, she narrowed her eyes and, "You think it can protect you?" "Please let me complete, Lady Vyriana. I am saying since the lap pillow is currently not available, I will choose the second option and sleep on my-Arrggghhh!" This time, before Nux could complete his sentence, Vyriana appeared in front of him, covered his body with Mana to restrict his movements, and, *Boom* He was sent flying and passed out. "I like the first option more." Vyriana spoke as she cracked her knuckles with an annoyed look on her face. Then, she waved her hand as a bed appeared near her. She walked towards Nux who had passed out, picked him up, and placed him on the bed before disappearing. As for his wounds, she left that to [Regeneration]. … This 50-year challenge was by no means easy, especially in Waranal which had 'healed' and now had countless beasts running around. Nux's wives had to not only take note of the territories of the beasts they shouldn't enter and the beasts that they shouldn't face, but they also needed to make sure the beasts they do kill in the future are not related to any stronger beasts. They needed to be stealthy and alert. They needed to create new shelters and constantly change them so the Beasts wouldn't find their location. Things weren't great, in just one weak, they already encountered two 11 Star beasts and although they could defeat an 11 Star Beasts, it took too much power not to mention the fight wouldn't end quickly or silently, thereby alerting other, possibly even beasts. Astaria finally understood why her teacher constantly reminded her to be careful. Anyways, although difficult, this didn't mean the wives were not performing well, with their impeccable teamwork and Amaya's excellent leadership, it didn't take long for the women to settle down comfortably. Vyriana, who was watching all of this from afar was impressed. They did fight strong beasts and faced many troubles but with how efficiently they handled it, one would think that they were pros. Time passed, 10 years, 20 years, 30 years… The women started craving Nux's Touch, it was bearable at first but after decades, they couldn't hold their urge anymore. Even someone like Aisha, who spent 1000 years in the Trial couldn't help but feel the same. After all, she was already addicted. Nux was the drug the women couldn't live without. However, these women weren't weak, knowing that Nux had gone through even worse phase, they collected themselves, they focused on hunting more beasts and as they started settling down, their plans started getting more and more aggressive. They continued to kill and fight, slowly but surely, the skills that they trained in Veiled Eden started getting incorporated into their bodies as they started to understand their goal in the group. It was a great sign. The women were getting stronger, and they were getting stronger at a scary pace.
