"Didn't you say that the artifact can only hold off for 5 minutes? Only 30 seconds are left. After that, Melia would regain her cultivation." Nux spoke with a demonic smile on his face and Vindan's expression changed. He completely ignored Nux, who was standing right in front of him, and turned towards that nightmarish Vampire who they had momentarily taken down, his eyes then fell on the ground, which was filled with the blood of his own clan members and his face paled in horror. He… He didn't have time! That monster would be back again! And this time, she would fight together with this Emperor Stage monster. "You wasted another 3 seconds, Clan Leader." Nux smiled. Vindan glared at Nux who was smiling at him and then, "AAaaaaaaggGgghhhHHhhhhh!!!" He shouted his rage, the Mana around his flowed crazily, around 50 Magic Circles appeared behind Vindan and all of them shot Wind Blades at Nux. Nux simply summoned a Dark Amethyst wall to protect him and his girls, then, he opened the Gate's portal and teleported away with his wives. Standing right beside Melia. "24 Seconds left." He warned with a playful smile on his face. Then, he held Melia and picked her in his arms. Melia, who had barely calmed down flinched the moment Nux picked her up again. "W-What are you doing!?" She questioned in panic. "Ahh, let me enjoy these last moments, okay? The weak Melia who cannot resist me at all, do you know how alluring that is?" Nux spoke with a seductive smile on his face as he looked into Melia's eyes. Then, he suddenly kissed her lips again, "See? I can do all this without being worried about being attacked by your Blood Spears." He spoke. Melia's face turned red, "I… I won't forgive you!" She spoke as she glared at Nux's face. "Aanh!" Nux, however, just kneed her butt, making her flinch again, "Let me be a little selfish, will you? I would need some time to get into a position to do all this with you again." "I-I won't ever get caught by a stupid artifact like this again." Melia retorted. "Who said I was talking about the Artifact?" Nux smiled playfully as he placed his forehead on Melia's forehead. "The weak Melia with whom I can do whatever I want to is lovely, I agree. But the Melia who strives to be the best, That's the Melia I want." "Y-Y-You! Just you wai-" *BOOOM* Suddenly, Melia and the others felt a huge surge of energy. "I WILL DESTROY YOU!!" A shout was then heard. 3 Great Sages had decided to burn their life force. First, they lost a 1 vs 5 against someone who was at the same stage as them, not only that, she even managed to kill one of them and the other had to use his own life just so that they can contain the enemy for a while. And as if that was not embarrassing enough, after their comrade finally trapped that woman using his own life, another monster appeared. This time, it was a mere Emperor. An Emperor so strong that he killed more than half of their clan members and treated them as if they were playthings. His peculiar techniques made him nigh invincible. That bastard was on a completely different level. And now… He was even going to free the previous monster that they had barely contained. There was no way the 3 Great Sages left would allow something like that, their comrade sacrificed his life for this. They would win this battle, Even if they had to pay a heavy price for this. Therefore, The 3 Great Sages decided to burn their Life Force. Their Mana burst out of control, endless Mana flowed into their bodies, the Aura around them became so strong that it was almost suffocating, it was not something Nux or Melia could compare against, the current 3 Great Sages, they were far stronger than the two of them. The three Great Sages glanced at Nux. That Emperor was fast, wasn't he? So fast that it felt like he was teleporting, then, Fuck it, They were going to destroy the entire Battlefield! Even if he somehow saves himself, all these women he seems to care about, They were going to take them away from him! *Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh* The Mana moved crazily, Countless Magic Circles appeared all over the battlefield, threatening not only the members of ExceedoGenesis, but also the survivors of Destiny. The 3 Great Sages didn't care. They were too enraged to care. They had decided to cast their strongest spells. Melia, who felt their energy and realized what they were doing panicked. "Nux! Open the Core!" She shouted in worry. Those spells, even she wouldn't survive if she got hit by them. Other members of Destiny panicked as well. "Clan Leader! Have mercy!" "Lord Xavien!" "Lady Miliana! I have a family I need to provide for! Please let me live!" They begged for their lives, however, the three Great Sages didn't care. "NUX! Why aren't you doing anything!?" Melia shouted in rage, however, soon, her expression changed. Nux… He was smiling… And he was not alone, Allura, Lane, Ember, Evane, and Amaya, who were standing with them were smiling as well. "Your provocation worked." Amaya commented. "What did you expect? Of course, it would work. Have I ever failed before?" Nux questioned with a confident smile on his face, then, he turned towards Melia, who couldn't understand what was happening, and smiled, "If you kiss me, I'll deal with those three right now." "W-What are you talking about!?" Melia shouted in anger. "C'mon, I am not talking about a kiss on the lips, a simple kiss on the cheek would do as well. How about it?" Nux moved his cheek next to Melia. Melia panicked. She couldn't understand what this man was doing! How did he change so much!? She glanced behind, the three of them were almost done! They didn't have the time to play around like that! Suddenly, Melia felt a hand on her shoulder, She turned around and noticed Allura standing right next to her. "It's just a kiss, Melia, Don't tell me the mighty Melia can't even do that for her clan while the enemies are burning their life force?" She spoke with a playful smile on her face. "Y-Y-You are crazy! It is your husband we are talking about!" "Tsk, the wives do not have a problem, what's the issue? I saw you blushing, alright? I know you want to do it." "I do not!!" Melia retorted. "We do not have much time, Melia. Do it quickly, you are the reason we are in this position you know? The 5 Great Sages were your responsibility to begin with." Allura smirked. "…" This time, Melia turned silent. She then glanced at Nux's cheek and blushed again. She then moved and quickly kissed Nux's face. "Now do something!!" With an embarrassed look on her face, she shouted and nobody knew if it was an unconscious action or not, but she tightened her hug around Nux's neck. A huge smile appeared on Nux's face and then, *Snap* He snapped his fingers, and suddenly, Vindan, Miliana, and Xavien were surrounded with Black Mist.
