Chapter 1204 Do not kill them. 1204 Do not kill them. "Return... to your... positions..." Nux spoke with a grim look on his face. Rumble Rumble The General's expression changed when he noticed that the ground was trembling... The 31st Wave was here. "H-How is it not over yet!?" One of the soldiers shouted with a horrified look on his face. He glanced at the King who just fought against the Monster so strong that even the King who one-shotted almost all other Monsters this entire time needed more than 2 hours to defeat. A Monster like that wasn't something they could go up against. If it wasn't for their King, they wouldn't have survived this far, and now even their King had fallen. He may be putting up a strong front, however, all the soldiers could tell that their King was in an extremely bad condition. He couldn't even stand up on his own and needed the support of his swords to not fall down. If even the strongest being they knew was in such condition... How were they supposed to carry on...? How were they supposed to win...? Were they... destined to lose...? All the soldiers, this time, the General included, despaired. "I said go back...!" Suddenly, Nux shouted. Blood continued to come out his mouth, his eyes, however, hadn't given up. Gathering his strength, he stood up, his legs were trembling so he used [Absolute Kinesis] to stabilize them, yes, he was forcing his body, however, He had no other choice. Rumble Rumble The enemies were here. "But Your Majesty you are not in a condition to figh-!" "So what am I supposed to do? Get stomped to death? I will not accept a cowardly death like this!" The General wanted to stop him, however, Nux interrupted him mid-sentence, then, as he glared at the Monsters rushing towards him, "They are weak, return to your positions. I will not sugarcoat my words, All of you here will die. The only difference would be the way you die. You can either be stomped under those monster's feet as you cower in fear, Or you cut those bastards and die in the process. There is no escape." Nux spoke, then without looking back, he started dragging his body towards the Monsters as he glared at them. Luckily, the 31st Wave was weaker than the 30th Wave. There were no Divine Stage Monsters amongst them. It only had 1000 Saints rushing towards him. Honestly, Nux could end this wave within 5 minutes, saving most of his soldiers in the process, however... If he did that, then according to the pattern, the next wave would start almost instantly and... A Divine Stage Monster would appear. Nux knew it well, if he fought a Divine in this condition, he would die and with him, the soldiers he saved by acting quickly would perish as well. Nux momentarily glanced at the soldiers behind him and started thinking, 'Should I take it slow... all of them might die but those things are merely an illusion in the first place... They were supposed to die anyways, weren't they...?' Soon, however, Nux closed his eyes and shook his head. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚 Then, recalling how he massacred the entire Ashenhelm Clan and even went for that man's wives and children, a grim look appeared on Nux's face. 'I let my anger get the best of me...' There was no need to involve that man's family just to make a statement. Yes, it did intimidate other clans and made them warier towards him and his clan, all of it might prevent other clans from acting out as the Ashenhelm did but... 'Even if they did act out... could they have done anything...?' It was not like Nux and his wives were planning to leave the [Core]. All those people could ridicule them as much as they wanted and the moment they returned stronger, all of them would have zipped their mouths up. 'Haaah! Why am I getting all sentimental in this situation!?' Nux groaned in frustration. He wanted to focus on the battle ahead, his mind, however, continued to show him the scene of the massacre he committed. 'Fuck it, I did what I did. Can't change what's already been done.' Convincing his heart, Nux forcefully stopped thinking about it and focused on the Monsters, the moment they appeared near the Bloodpool formed by other monsters' blood, Nux moved his hands. The blood under the Monsters' feet started moving, piercing them one by one, killing the majority of Monsters in one go, then, to further cut down the numbers, Nux rushed towards these monsters and forced his body to continue cutting them down. He killed and killed again, resembling the God of Death moving around the battlefield, trying to not think about anything else, and just like he calculated, in under 5 minutes, Nux had already almost all the Monsters from the 31st Wave. Most of the Soldiers survived this wave as well, the wave, however, was not over yet. Nux kept 5 Monsters alive. "Your Majesty?" The General frowned in confusion. "Do not kill them," Nux ordered. "But..." "If we kill them, another wave of monsters will start," Nux spoke as he sat on the ground. He was forcefully controlling the 5 Monsters using [Absolute Kinesis], it did take quite a bit of Essence at first, however, it didn't matter since Nux was planning to rest and recover his Essence and fully Regenerate his Body before starting the next wave. From the next wave, he was going to fight in perfect condition and give his all. The General understood what Nux was trying to do and another, even more brilliant idea popped up in his mind, "Your Majesty! How about we capture these Monsters!? They are as strong as Saints, so at the very least, they should still have 1000 years to live! If we do not kill them, they will live for 1000 years and the next wave will not start! Once they die, we can always capture more monsters from the Next Wave, this way, we can buy as much time as we want, His Majesty can use this time to get stronger, you are this strong when you are only a Semi Saint, How strong would you be if you became a Saint or even a Divine Stage Cultivator!? Once you reach that level, you will be strong enough to save us from this adversity and we will be able to continue our Bloodline!"
