Chapter 1745 First Defeat?
Of course, he still had more than 75% of it saved up, but the very fact that someone like him had used up a fourth of his energy reserves was already quite surprising,
This told just how dangerous of a place Umbrasol was.
Right now, however, this \'dangerous\' place was facing a challenge it had never faced before.
Two entities had attacked it this time, out of which, while one was relatively easy to deal with, the second one...
Well, it was abnormal from the very start.
First, it couldn\'t even sense it. The only reason it even knew this entity existed was because the Wraith it produced was reacting to it. The very fact that the Wraith didn\'t automatically wither away after the first entity was killed was enough proof that this entity indeed existed.
And...
This entity had spent almost two weeks in here.
Umbrasol had tried everything.
For the first time ever since it turned into this state, it had used all 93,754 Souls it had. All these Souls were sent to hunt this entity down, yet even after two whole weeks of constant battle had passed, the battle hadn\'t ended.
Honestly, the longer the battle took place, the easier it should be for Umbrasol\'s Souls. After all, the environment here assisted them.
No foreign entity could stay here and not be affected, so as more time passed, Umbrasol should feel more and more confident and safer.
In this case, however,n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The things didn\'t seem the same.
The rate at which it could feel its Souls \'dispersing\' was rising continuously.
That meant that rather than the entity getting weaker, it was getting stronger and stronger.
And Umbrasol\'s assumption was correct.
Nux, who had been fighting these Wraiths for more than a few days, was improving at a rate so absurd that Vyriana, who was watching everything from his Shadows, had lost her mind.
Don\'t get it wrong, Vyriana, out of all people, knew just how monstrous her husband and his learning potential were. She knew he was a genius who grasped things at a rate incomprehensible to others, but....
This...?
This simply didn\'t make any sense.
Ever since Nux had absorbed two Worlds, his Physical Abilities were boosted. Be it his strength, speed, defense, everything was upgraded to the point that he felt like he was in an entirely different body.
His movements might seem normal. but they were strange. Every move he made wasted a lot of strength. Walking forward, if he wasn\'t using Absolute Step to be in the air, he was leaving footmarks since he caved in the floor he was walking on.
His punches impacted the surroundings because he was unable to control his strength completely. His reflexes, although still stronger than that of a normal person because of Zenith Flow, had lost their initial touch since every time his body wanted to react to something, it would do it too soon. While this might be great for many others since it meant they would be able to dodge their enemies\' incoming attacks a lot faster than before and the enemy would never be able to take advantage of this situation since he was the one who had gotten much faster, giving him more time to react and things never changed for the enemies, but in Nux\'s eyes,
This was a waste of time.
His body could \'sense\' the incoming attacks. However, since the time it needed to react to those attacks had decreased, instead of reacting at the same time as it did before, it was much more efficient to react later and deal with other things until then.
Of course, the difference between the two was barely in parts of milliseconds, but for Nux, who aimed for perfection, every little change, no matter how insignificant, made a difference. And how could it not?
These parts of milliseconds he would save from here would pile up to an absurd level, making it almost impossible for his enemies to know what to do against him.
With this in mind, Nux started changing.
In these two weeks, he had adapted to his body. His legs didn\'t leave any marks on the ground anymore. His attacks never wasted any physical energy, only using enough strength to destroy the opponent. His body...
It looked like a blur that continued to phase in and out of the battlefield.
Right in the middle of the horde of Wraiths surrounded by the Death Energy, Nux could be seen standing there, not moving at all.
The Wraiths who tried to attack him simply passed through his body.
It was as if he was using Ascendence of the Undying himself.
But in truth, it was pure speed.
His body was moving so fast and was reacting to the enemies so well that to these Wraiths, it didn\'t even look like he was moving.
He just stood there, not getting harmed by attacks, and at the same time, every Wraith who approached him was killed without mercy.
The only time Nux\'s body moved was when he faced an attack that attacked every part of his body and was impossible to dodge. The man simply walked somewhere else, but for the Wraiths, his movements were no different than straight-up teleportation.
The battle was over.
Nux could already tell that after this, he wouldn\'t be losing anymore, despite there still being over 5,000 Wraiths facing him.
Well, maybe the correct term here was \'only!\'
Yes, only 5,000 out of the initial 90,000 Wraiths were left.
Honestly, at this point, he was so used to facing these Wraiths that he wasn\'t even improving
He had observed these Wraiths and their abilities to the point where he was now sick of it. In the end, these Wraiths were not living beings. They weren\'t creative when it came to using their abilities. Nux had found a weakness for almost all the abilities, and using that, killing these Wraiths was simply a boring task he needed to complete.
Even Ascendence of the Undying, the ability that proved to be somewhat difficult for him to deal with before, seemed much easier to deal with now.
With how the energy flowed, Nux was able to tell when a Wraith was about to activate the ability, so unless the Wraith was more than a kilometer away from him, trying to even activate that ability was a death sentence for them.
They would die before they could use the ability.
Of course, even the enemies who had already activated the ability weren\'t difficult to deal with. It was nothing the Devouring Mist couldn\'t handle after all.
Honestly, Nux was tempted to kill the last remaining Wraiths quickly. The only reason he didn\'t do anything until now was because he wanted to squeeze out whatever value they had.
Sure, he might not improve at the rate he would be satisfied with, but as long as he held back his strength a bit, he could still push his body a little, improving his control even further.
That was Nux\'s plan. He would deal with the 5,000 Wraiths left in a similar manner, and within a few hours, the battle would end.
It was Umbrasol\'s defeat, and it should be able to sense it.
It did...
This round... it had indeed lost...
And because of that...
It prepared for the second round.
"What in the hell...?"
Nux\'s eyes widened as he saw the scene unfolding in front of him.
He was so surprised that one of the Wraiths was actually able to attack him. He needed to use more energy to get rid of the Death Energy that seeped into his body because of that one attack. Nux, however, didn\'t pay attention to the successful Wraith. His body moved on its own and killed it, but his eyes, on the other hand, were focused somewhere else.
"Son of a..."
Nux cursed.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh
He could see the massive amount of Death Energy gathering in one place, slowly forming humanoid figures. As more and more Death Energy was used, the humanoid figures\' features became clearer.
These were... Wraiths....
These beings...
They were reformed and ready to battle again.
Nux, who had defeated more than 80,000 of these beings and was only left with a few thousand,
once again found himself being surrounded by more than 30,000 of them. As more and more theories came up in his mind as to what could possibly be the reason behind all this, his face turned orim and he felt goosebumns all over his body
"We were underestimating this place..."
Nux realized it.
Then, he narrowed his eyes.
"Or did they know...?"
He wondered if the Supreme World Leaders knew about it.
\'Nux, we need to leave.
While Nux was thinking, Amaya, who was inside his Shadow, spoke in a grim tone.
Yes, she was confident that Nux could defeat 30,000 Wraiths that had reformed, but things were
different.
They still didn\'t know if that was Umbrasol\'s limit.
While she understood the value of being able to devour a High-Level World, right now, they clearly
weren\'t prepared.
The World wasn\'t more important than Nux\'s life, and the rest of the women agreed with Amaya.
Nux smiled wryly.
Unlike his wives, who were still unsure, for him, it was as clear as day.
This wasn\'t Umbrasol\'s limit.
It reformed 30,000 Wraiths because it might have believed that these were enough to deal with him.
Honestly, after a particular number, it didn\'t even matter, as everyone starts to hinder each other instead, so not starting with 90,000 Wraiths did make sense.
Nux, however, knew that Umbrasol was very much able to reform 90,000 of these Wraiths, and it
could do it again and again.
This place...
For some reason... the Laws of the Universe didn\'t work here...
The souls killed here do not return to the Universe.
They are always trapped inside Umbrasol, and this World can use them as long as it has enough
Death Energy.
And how much energy did it have?
It had the energy to create 10,000 Eternals in the past. How much energy would it require compared
to creating mere 90,000 Sovereigns? Not to mention, this was Umbrasol\'s energy in the past, and its energy reserves had been growing ever since.
Another thing to note was that other than the abilities Wraiths used and the energy they took when
they were formed and reformed, the energy in this place was never used\'; it was only recycled and could be used again.
The energy Umbrasol actually loses is so minimal that it could even be nullified since it is almost
always growing, and the rate of energy growth and usage was pretty much the same, if not inclined
towards growth.
With the energy Umbrasol had and the souls it had trapped inside...
It could continue to regenerate 90,000 Wraiths... almost... infinitely...
This battle...
It was far from over...
No, it might even be Nux\'s first defeat...
