Chapter 588 You Did Well.

Astaria ran away.

Well, she didn't exactly run away, she just created distance between the two of them, but for an Emperor to do something like this…

It was no different than running away.

And judging from the grim look that had appeared on Astaria's face, anybody could tell that she was thinking the same.

"You have improved, a lot more than I thought."

She commented.

AD

Nux, however, completely ignored her comment and rushed toward her.

The Mana around Astaria moved and surrounded her sword.

She slashed it toward Nux, and Nux was forced to use both his swords to stop the attack.

The Mana then moved from the sword to Astaria's shoulders.

Astaria lifted her sword that carried the weight of Nux's two swords, a space was created,

This time, Astaria used her own Mana and kicked Nux's abdomen.

Mind you, when an Emperor uses her own Mana instead of the surrounding Mana, the output increases drastically.

AD

The strength behind this kick was enough to break Nux's bones.

If the attack connects, there is no way Nux would stand up without a healing potion and at least 2 hours of rest.

However, Nux just smiled.

The power behind Astaria's kick suddenly dispersed.

She quickly understood what happened and narrowed her eyes.

Nux used Astaria's sword as a base and backflipped in the air, appearing behind her.

Astaria quickly turned around, trying to attack him before he lands, but before she could, she quickly moved aside.

She turned around and noticed a Purple Black Spike that was aiming at her heart.

'Annoying.'

She thought inwardly.

Nux landed and

*Clang*

AD

Attacked again.

Astaria defended and Nux used another sword.

*Clang* *Clang* *Clang*

Nux's barrage of attacks started again.

A frown appeared on Astaria's face.

This was a problem.

The monster in front of her had insanely high stamina, especially after his recent 'state distribution', hoping that he would tire out was stupid.

Also, she cannot always dodge those Spikes that aim at her. If she gets hit by them once, the battle would be over.

She had to change her strategy.

She jumped back again.

Nux tried to rush towards her, however, she continued to maintain the distance.

Nux may be faster when it comes to body movement, however, in raw speed, when she uses Mana, she was definitely faster.

There is no way Nux could catch up.

"Are you seriously running away from a 'mere King Stage Cultivator', Lady Astaria?"

Nux laughed as he continued to chase Astaria. He then glanced at Phorus and the others and spoke,

"Your subjects must be disappointed."

AD

And Nux was right.

Well, rather than disappointment, Phorus and the others were shocked.

They never thought they would see a day like this.

Not only them, but even Nux's wives were shocked.

'Astaria is running away… I can't believe it…'

Felberta commented.

'I know he was saying he would defeat her today, but this…' Ember couldn't believe it either.

'Are we finally going to welcome Sister Astaria? I am excited.' Skyla smiled cheerfully.

'I wish to fight him like this as well. Though a Flogger Whip would be better.' Edda laughed.

AD

'What's that?' Evane questioned with a frown.

'Ahh, you weren't there yesterday-'

'Thank god you weren't. Just leave her be. Ignore most of the things she says.' Allura jumped in before Edda could corrupt Evane.

Edda pouted.

'Umm, is that allowed?'

Suddenly, Lane questioned as she pointed at the battlefield.

Astaria, while she was running away from Nux, was consuming both Health Potion and Mana Potion.

'…'

The women turned silent.

They never expected Astaria would do something so… shameless.

'Both of them are aiming for vitals and are not holding back at all.

Rather than a spar, it is a Battle.

A real battle.

There are no rules in real battle.

Everything is allowed.'

AD

Thyra commented.

'That's correct.'

Ember nodded as well.

'But… she is Emperor Stage Cultivator…'

Evane complained.

'Are you saying she should give Nux a handicap because she is better than him?' Ember questioned and Evane turned silent.

The women then continued to watch the battle.

"You don't have to run away you know, though I am sweaty, I am sure I don't smell."

Nux laughed.

"…"

AD

Astaria didn't say anything.

Nux sighed and suddenly, he stopped.

"The potions won't change anything."

He commented and at the same time, he started consuming Potions as well.

"I simply need to consume Potions as well, it will be another start of the spar, I just need to defeat you again."

He shrugged.

"Again? Now that's a strong word." Astaria smiled.

She then threw the empty vial of the Potion she drank and,

"I commend you, You did well."

While she said that, Astaria took her battle stance, her face then turned serious and,

AD

"Though I will be ending this fight now."

Astaria's aura exploded and she disappeared.

Nux frowned.

He used his [Sense] but Astaria appeared behind him and attacked, he barely fended.

"You trained well, with your speed, I believe you now have the power to defeat any Emperor without using your trump card."

Nux heard Astaria's voice.

She was praising him, those were not empty words, it was a genuine praise.

However, Nux's expression was anything but good.

"Any Emperor,

Anyone but me."

Astaria appeared behind Nux and attacked again, he dodged, but this time, it wasn't as flawless, his shoulder was bruised.

"Nux Leander,

Let me show you why I am called the strongest human in the world."

Astaria spoke and,

*Bam*

She punched Nux's back.

"!!!" Nux's eyes widened in surprise.

He couldn't react to this speed at all.Please visit 𝒇𝘳𝗲𝚎w𝑒𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝒆l. 𝒄𝒐𝚖

"Khhaakk!"

He was forced to cough out blood while his body was shot away.

However, Astaria wasn't done yet.

Like a demon, she was already standing at the spot where Nux fell.

*Bam*

This time, she kicked his head.

Nux his entire world blacken for the second and,

*Bam*

*Bam*

*Bam*

A series of scalp numbing attacks were unleashed.

"NUX!!"

Nux's women shouted in worry.
