"Uggghhh!! Star, are you sure this is the right way?" "Yes, I am," Astaria replied. "Then why are all of us failing? You haven't made any mistake, did you?" "I have not made any mistake, you people are just dumb." Astaria retorted. "Oh c'mon, if you have said that to me, I would have understood, but just look at us, Ember, Thyra, Skyla, Lane, these are one of the greatest prodigies to have ever been born into the world. Ember, I don't even have to explain, Thyra created her own technique out of scratch, a technique that could be a god-level treasure for any assassin. Skyla and Lane are the two who learned and absorbed Thyra's technique at a horrifying Pace, All of them are geniuses, do you really think it is possible for them to not get any results after training for these many months? Like, we haven't achieved anything yet, it is hard to believe. Let me ask you again, are you sure your technique isn't wrong?" Edda questioned and this time, Astaria turned silent. She glanced at the women standing in front of her and started thinking, "Sister Edda, you should not talk to Sister Astaria like that." Skyla stepped up. "Yes, you have to understand, this is something she created all by herself, without anyone helping her. This technique might as well be the essence of her very life. It is not something that could just be passed on within a few months, if that was possible, then she would have wasted her entire life creating that technique." Ember spoke up. Hearing those words, Astaria lowered her head. Thyra didn't miss it and frowned. Ember was taking Astaria's side, then why was she acting like that? 'Is she not giving her all?' Thyra thought. That reaction might be coming from Astaria's guilt. Ember trusted her with everything, if Astaria was not being honest, her reaction to Ember's blind trust would be similar to this. So the possibility of this being true was high, Thyra, however, knew that was not the case. In these last few months, her understanding of her new sister's character has increased. She was not someone who would do things halfheartedly. Trickery wasn't her forte. "Astaria," Thyra called out. Astaria glanced at her, "Hmm? What is it?" Astaria questioned. "Why did you make tha-" However, before Thyra could complete her question, "Are you guys ready?" Amaya walked in and questioned. Astaria turned towards Amaya and questioned back, "It is time already?" "Well, if you need more time, I can always go there alone and you can join us later," Amaya replied with a small smile on her face. "No, that is not needed, we are coming." Astaria replied. She now understood this girl. She would do anything to get some alone time with Nux and for some reason, Astaria didn't like that idea, just like other women. She was blending in pretty well with her 'sisters'. "Hmm? Well, that's unfortunate." Amaya sighed. "Don't act like you can do anything without us." Astaria retorted. "…" Amaya simply ignored her words and continued walking. Astaria didn't care either and started walking as well. The other women followed as well. A few minutes later, all the women appeared in front of Nux, "You guys are here." Nux spoke with a smile on his face. Beside him, Nawdren lay on the ground, dead. Well, not dead, but his face definitely said so. He had no plans to involve himself with these guys anymore. For them, he was as good as dead for at least the next few hours. "Are you guys ready to lose again?" Nux questioned with a playful smile on his face. "…" The women didn't reply. Even they knew defeating him was impossible. They didn't even consider that possibility. For them, lasting longer than the last time was a victory. "Heh." A smile appeared on Nux's face as the women took out their weapons. Astaria then stepped forward and, "Formation." As soon as those words left her mouth, the women moved. Lane jumped back and a bow appeared in her hand. She wasn't exceptionally good at it, however, since it was better for her future plans, she decided to choose it as her main weapon. To her, a Bow just felt much more natural compared to the dagger which she was better at. Anyways, Thyra and Skyla equipped their daggers and waked behind other women, Astaria and Ember took out their swords. Edda and Felberta took out a shield, Amaya was using two long daggers, however, the Mist surrounding her was a clear indication that she was going to use Mist for the battle and the daggers were just for her own defense. Allura and Evane weren't exactly good with any of the weapons but Astaria was personally training the two of them, the two of them left Daggers and had started using swords. Seeing all his wives taking out their weapons and looking at him with a determined expression on his face, Nux's smile widened and he complimented, "You all look lovely." "Don't waste time, come at us." Astaria spoke with a strict look on her face. "As you say~" Saying those words, Nux disappeared. The women were all alert and started looking around with wary expressions on their faces, "Aren't you a little too far away from the group?" Nux spoke as he hugged Lane from behind and started kneading her breasts. Lane tried to resist, however, Nux was just too strong. *Whoosh* Suddenly, a dagger passed through Nux's face, if he hadn't reacted in time, it would have pierced through his head. He glanced at the place where the dagger came from and realized that everything was covered with Dark Mist, only Astaria and Ember were visible. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎 And what was worse? He couldn't use Mana to sense where the women were because the Mist was devouring the Mana. "Don't you think she is a little too far away from the group?" Astaria questioned with a smile on her face. Nux understood. Another dagger was shot at him, He dodged while carrying Lane in his arms. However, *Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh* More and more daggers were shot at him, not only daggers, but he was also being attacked with arrows.
