Chapter 1778 You were probably never strong enough for it. "So you want me to stay with you until I am strong enough to defeat you?" Nux questioned. "Yes." "And I have no say in this matter?" "Yes, you do not." Aeliana nodded, her tone made it clear that 'no' wasn't an option. "You know that I need to join the War so I can devour mo-" "Yes, yes, whatever you wish to do, it can be done once you are strong enough to defeat me" "Do you think I won't be reckless anymore once I am strong enough to defeat you?" "I do not. Recklessness is one of your traits, I doubt you would ever not be reckless. I just know that once you are stronger than me, I wouldn't be able to stop you even if I tried to, but right now, I can do that, so I will." "So what you are saying is.... You are going to use the fact that you are stronger than me to your advantage and force me to stay here with you, right?" "That is correct." Aeliana didn't deny those words, no matter how suspicious they sounded. "Don't you think that is quite unreasonable?" "Your entire existence unreasonable. Do you see me complaining?" "I do, quite a lot actually." "Then you can complain as well." Acliana just shrugged. The meaning behind her words was clear, Complain all you want, you aren't leaving. 'Fuck.' Nux cursed in his mind. His eyes shamelessly stared at the woman in front of him. "What are you looking at?" Aeliana narrowed her eyes. "Nothing, I just didn't think you were this shameless." Nux answered. Hearing those words, Aeliana just chuckled, "Didn't you say you knew everything about me? Why do you seem surprised?" "This isn't the Aeliana I knew about." Nux was honest. Aeliana right now and Aeliana inside the illusion were indeed different, quite a lot actually. This Aeliana... She was much more confident and... bold. "I guess you didn't know everything about me then." Aeliana chuckled. "No, I did know everything about you. You just developed a new side that I do not know about." "And what are you going to do about it?" Aeliana questioned, and Nux started walking towards the Vampire, his possessiveness could no longer be hidden. Aeliana stared at Nux, not backing down. She didn't show it on her face, but Nux didn't have to read her expression to know what she was thinking. The Vampire was looking forward to whatever Nux was going to do. Yes, the Vampire was willing to play a dangerous game, a game where Nux's track record was off the charts. Nux's grin widened, he moved dangerously close to the Vampire, so close that he could feel her breath on his neck. Aeliana was around 10 cm shorter than Nux, so as the two stood right next to each other, her forehead reached Nux's lips, however, this didn't stop Aeliana from looking right into Nux's eyes. Her crimson eyes were almost hypnotizing. Then suddenly, Nux grabbed the woman and pulled her close to him. "What am I going to do about it? Nothing." Nux whispered, his voice so seductive that Aeliana's legs turned weak. This was the first time she had come so close to Nux, or any man in general. It was a very foreign feeling, something that made her heart race uncontrollably. Nux, however, started rubbing her back and, in an instant, Aeliana's heart calmed down. It was a strange feeling, the same man was responsible for making her heart race and calm it down, the Vampire didn't know how to react. It was then, "I won't do anything. I just do not like that there is a side of you that I do not know about. So during the time you keep me here with you, I am going to explore that side in every, possible, way, I, can. And when I am done, Nothing, and I repeat, nothing, will remain hidden from me." Nux spoke, his golden eyes glimmering with extreme possessiveness, his grip around Aeliana strengthened, pulling her even closer to him. Her ample breasts rested on his chest, and through that touch, Nux could feel her heart beating quickly. All this time, Aeliana never moved her eyes away from Nux, not even for a single instant. "You talk as if you are going to get the time to focus on such things." Aeliana chuckled lightly, then suddenly, BOOOOM Her energy burst out, sending Nux flying. In an instant, all the 'control' Nux had on the situation disappeared. Nux's body reacted in an instant, he regained his balance and stood up, his head turning towards Aeliana, but he soon narrowed his eyes when he realized she wasn't there. His senses expanded, trying to see where the woman was. "Nux Leander, you are severely underestimating what is going to happen to you from now on." Suddenly, Nux heard a voice. "You dreaded Vyriana's training at one point, did you not?" The Vampire questioned. "I'll make it so that you would love Vyriana's training starting today." Aeliana's body suddenly materialized behind Nux, he reacted and turned around, his movements, however, were too slow and, BOOOM Once again, he was sent flying. Aeliana wasn't as strong as the Titan or the Ironfang Nux faced before, but that didn't help Nux at all, as the moment he tried to balance his body and stand again, BOOOM The woman materialized in front of him again and pushed him to the ground. "Ughhh!" Nux groaned in pain, the ground beneath him cracked. Even in this situation, the smile on his face didn't fade, he sat up and, "I would love to see what you have to offer, Aeliana Ruinous. Don't forget, this won't be the first time you will be teaching m-" BOOOM But before he could complete, he was attacked again. "You don't have to worry about that. I assure you that you haven't even seen half of what I am capable of. After all, You were probably never strong enough for it." Acliana's voice echoed through Nux's cars, and once again, he had no clue where the Vampire actually was. Training with the Vampire had officially started.
