Not an easy Target.

"Y-You…"

Rune pointed her trembling hand at Nux and widened her eyes in fright.

"Y-Your Cultivation…

How are you a Great Sage?"

She questioned.

Rune was usually a calm woman with exceptional control over her emotions, even the news of her husband whom she trusted and lived with for more than 2000 years fooling her the entire time didn't receive much reaction from her.

This was the first time Nux and the others had seen her react like that.

And why would she not?

A man, who was an Emperor just 3 days ago, had come out and had become a Great Sage!

A Great Sage!!

He skipped an entire stage!!

A Stage where even the prodigies need at least 100 years,

This man in front of her entirely skipped it!

How could she not be shocked!?

"Lady Rune, it has been a while, hasn't it?" Nux, however, just replied with a small smile on his face.

His calm reply, however,

"How did you become a Great Sage!?"

Triggered a loud response from Rune.
