Chapter 1719 90,000 Sovereigns. "So that means there are 90,000 Wraiths there...?" "Yes, but that is not it. Numbers wouldn't matter if one is strong enough. The problem is..." Simba turned silent, which annoyed Nux. "What is it?" he questioned in an irritated voice. "How strong do you think these Wraiths are?" Simba questioned, and suddenly, Nux turned silent. If these beings were made from Death Energy and Soul, then their strength should depend on these two things. Since the Death Energy in Umbrasol is endless, that shouldn't be the factor. Then the only factor left. is... Soul. There was a high probability that a Wraith formed is as strong as the Soul it was formed with. However, if that was the case, a Middle-Level World like Nexus shouldn't be dealing with this mission. After all, even if the Eternal that was sent came back, the Transcendents didn't, meaning that there should be more than a few Transcendent-level Wraiths there. There is no way Nexus, a Middle-Level World, is strong enough to send a few Transcendent-level beings to deal with the problem. That meant the Wraiths' strength depended on something else... something that gave beings of Nexus a ray of hope, making them think that it might be possible to complete it. And at the same time, it is also something strong enough to make even the Supreme World back away. "Wraiths are as strong as the beings who enter Umbrasol. Nux spoke, and Simba, who heard those words, smiled as he raised his eyebrows in surprise. "I didn't think you would guess that' "Endless energy is available. Since the Wraiths are formed from the Soul, their power should depend on the strongest living soul present in the place," Nux spoke. "Well, we still do not know what sort of principle works here! Simba replied. Nux nodded. He, however, could already make a guess. As someone who knew how energies and worlds worked, it was easier for him to understand things normal people couldn't comprehend. The Wraiths are beings created by Umbrasol. It must have sensed that the beings who come in wish to devour it, so it responds by creating artificial protectors. This means that these Wraiths do not roam around all the time; they are only formed when intruders come. This is why their strength is also limited to the amount of Life Energy released by the being who entered. "Not that it matters. What matters is the fact that once you enter, you need to face 90,000 Wraiths, 90,000 Sovereigns who are experts in using Death Energy and have abilities you probably have never seen before, once you deal with them or either avoid them, you need to enter the Heart of Umbrasol and devour it. More rewards will be given if you can also bring back the Necrostone, but of course, extra rewards can only be talked about once the actual mission is completed. Simba joked. "So this is why the Supreme Worlds abandoned that place," Nux spoke, and Simba nodded. "If they sent an Infinity Level Being, they would need to face 90,000 Infinity level beings. It would be a disaster!" Simba spoke. Nux, however, inwardly shook his head. If Infinity-level beings were anywhere near the level of that monster, he highly doubted the 'endless' Death Energy would be enough to recreate 90,000 of them. Of course, the mission was still dangerous, and yes, it was much better for a weaker-level cultivator to go and try to complete this mission. "Anyways, are you satisfied now? Since I told you everything, you can leave. As much as I like talking to someone as clever as you, I have other important things to do" Simba waved his hand, wanting to send Nux away. "I'll do it." Suddenly, Nux spoke up. "Huh...?" "I said I will take this mission." Nux repeated, and Simba couldn't believe what he just heard. "Have you... lost your mind?" Simba questioned. "I have not. "... You do realize you need to face 90,000 Sovereign-level beings at the same time while you avoid the Deathstroms, and all your abilities other than the ones that are related to Death Energy will not work. It would be an understatement to say that you will be at a disadvantage. Even if you bring an army of Sovereigns to that place, you cannot possibly find more than 90,000 Sovereigns who have the Power over Death and can enter the Reaper's Veil. We have searched all over the Universe; there is no other World that deals with the Power of Death. Heck, I doubt even Umbrasol had more than 90,000 Sovereigns when it was at its peak! Simba couldn't believe it. "You don't have to worry. Since I said I will do it, I will! "You were just talking about how there is a difference between confidence and plain arrogance!" Simba spoke, and Nux smiled. "Don't worry. My statement comes from my confidence, not arrogance. You just need to prepare for all the fame your Fortune's Call would receive when its mercenary clears the fearsome Black Mission abandoned by all. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢 Of course, don't forget to make me a Star Mercenary once I return" Nux chuckled. Simba was silent. Nux, on the other hand, grabbed the mission papers, but before he could move, Simba placed his hand over the papers and, "I cannot allow that," he spoke. "Why do people of this Mercenary Hall keep making decisions in my stead?" Nux frowned. "You do realize I can get this mission from any other Mercenary Hall, correct? You people will just be losing a rising Star Mercenary that is probably the best one you have ever seen. This decision has no gain and a lot to lose, trust me." "Let's do it this way. Pass my test; if you can, you can take this mission! "Why would I do that? I have nothing to ga-" "If you win, I will show you a recording! "Recording?" "It is something we got our hands on after quite a lot of effort. It is the fight Lord Arvin and his men had with the Wraiths. You will find quite a lot about the Wraiths' abilities if you see it, and I can assure you, you won't find this recording anywhere else throughout Nexus. "What is the test?" Nux questioned, and Simba smiled.
