The black sword tore through the air, threatening to destroy everything in its path. Nox slowly raised his head, staring at the falling sword. He only sneered."Is that it?" Nox swung his hand, dispelling his barrier. To everyone's shock, Nox leaped into the sky, trying to take the sword head-on.The Pearsons wondered what Nox was doing, and their clan head was flabbergasted. That sword had the power to kill even a god, yet Nox dispelled his barrier and intended to face it head-on.'He's going to die.'"Very well. If that's the case, I'll aid you." The clan head swung his staff again. The flames on the black sword burned brighter, the weapon falling onto Nox faster.Everyone thought the sword could kill Nox, including Bayon. However, before the sword could hit, Nox extended his hand, and a gigantic hand grabbed the edge of the blade.The Pearsons froze in shock. Their clan head couldn't believe what was happening either. Nox spun his hand, and the sword broke in half. The Pearson
Nox was right. Be it Keith, Bear, or Bard, they could easily kill the Pearsons' clan head even though they were a realm lower than he was. Nox was even stronger. He killed six Top Legend Realms out of the twelve that attacked him in the Battle of the Ten Nations.On top of that, he did it while under the effects of Kirin Firepoison. Otherwise, he'd have taken down all twelve Legend Realms. Alas, the clan head had no idea about that. He did not know the kind of lord he was facing.The clan head stared at Nox, wide-eyed. "You're a Legend Realm as well?"Nox was amused. "Legend Realms are weaklings to me."The clan head almost screamed. "No, that can't be! No one in Faeast is a Legend Realm. None but the people of the four families and the hidden sects! Who are you?" he bellowed."I've told you, you're not big enough to know my name. Your clans are nothing but jokes to me," said Nox.Once again, the clan head was whipped into a rage. "How dare you! I'll kill you even if it's the las
Their eyes were shining with excitement, and they looked at the dark god with worship. The Pearsons were on their knees, but Nox remained standing. He was scoffing at the dark god."I have summoned Cursegod, boy. You are done for!" The Pearsons' clan head cackled. He swiveled around and bowed at the dark god. "O great one, smite this accursed outsider and avenge your fallen people!"Cursegod raised its head, its eyes flaring with flames. It possessed the eyes of hell, and one look was enough to steal anyone's strength away. However, when it looked at Nox, Nox turned around and locked eyes with it.Gold against black. Powerful minds clashed. Though none moved, the air rippled and thundered."You dare meet a god's eyes, mortal? You shall die!" Cursegod said, its voice ancient and filled with evil. It couldn't believe Nox would face a god so easily.Nox snickered. "You call yourself a god? You're nothing but an evil spirit.""You fool!" Angered by the mockery, Cursegod roared and st
"What kind of monster is he?""How powerful can a guy be?"The Pearsons' clan head stared at Nox with bulging eyes. Then he turned to Bayon. Now, he believed that Legend Realms were nothing to Nox.Bayon was in despair, too. He had no idea who Nox really was. All he did was attack a Riverton woman as per Aphrodite's orders. He never thought that would invite disaster. If he could turn back time, he would do it in a heartbeat.He didn't want to experience this nightmare again, but alas, it was too late for regrets. He still had no idea the depths of Lord Nox's rage.A thunderous explosion rattled the center of the battlefield. A wave of air created from the clash between Nox and Cursegod blasted a crater a few dozen yards wide.Black energy billowed in the air, while golden energy shot tall and mighty. Nox and Cursegod stood face to face. One was showered in golden light, the Great Lord of Faeast. The other was covered in darkness, the Cursegod of the Curse clan.It was a battle
Nox put his hands together, and a golden pillar of light shot out of his body. Slivers of golden light swirled around Nox, and then the roar of a dragon came from deep within his soul.The ground shook, and beasts ran away. An avatar, mighty and towering, slowly slithered up from Nox's back. It was a dragon. The avatar of a golden dragon."I-Is that a… a dragon?" The sight of the dragon sapped all strength from the Pearsons' clan head. He slumped. His staff fell out of his hand, but he didn't take it back.The Pearson clansmen and Bayon were dumbstruck.Nox turned his gaze to the gigantic Cursegod. "If it's a fight you want, a fight is what you'll get. Ultimate Sun Dragon Manual! Dragon's Flight!" A roar rumbled the air.Nox leaped into the sky, and so did the dragon's avatar. They slammed into the trident, and an explosion swept across the battlefield. The golden light engulfed the black energy and crushed the trident, but the dragon kept charging at Cursegod.Fear finally struc
Nox didn't even take that much time to wipe out the Pearsons. Now, only Bayon was left. He was green with fear. Staring at the corpses and scorched earth, he understood why Michael said he would die. He laughed sadly."You're the last one, bastard." Nox slowly turned his attention to Bayon. He would tear the bastard's soul into shreds if he could. "Why'd you attack Queenie? Who sent you?" He looked at Bayon sharply.Selina and Copperpeak stood behind Nox. Bayon smiled bitterly and tossed his weapon away. In despair, he looked at Nox. "I'm going to die, aren't I?""Obviously," said Nox shrilly.A sad smile twisted Bayon's lips. "Too late for words. I can't tell you who sent me. All I can say is they're too powerful for you. You cannot cross them."Nox laughed. He had a guess who the mastermind was. "Is that all? Time to die.""I know, but before I die, there's something I want to say. The thousand-corpse worm is…"Bayon's smile turned into a sneer, and he closed in on Nox. He cac
Above Nox's head was the saber, and he held it with one hand."What? You're still alive?" Bayon was shocked.On the other hand, Selina buzzed with excitement seeing Nox still alive."You think mere Heartrender can kill me? Not even Eternal Executioner, the strongest technique the Lonewolfs' leader had, managed to harm me. You think too highly of this technique." Nox looked into the distance.It was as if Nox was saying that to someone else, not Bayon. He clenched his fingers together, and the saber cracked. A moment later, it was crushed. He then looked at Bayon."Time to pay the piper, you scum." Nox grabbed the air, and Bayon felt something holding him tightly. It was as if a truck was crushing down on him, and his bones started to crack. His body was starting to bend at unnatural angles while blood seeped from his pores.His face was covered in rivulets of blood, and a moment later, he was dyed crimson all over. One final scream cut the air, and Bayon was nothing but a pile of
After Bayon was dead, Selina walked up to Nox's side. "Now that you've avenged her, it's time to go home.""No. There's something I have to do," said Nox."What is it?" Selina was surprised.Nox didn't answer right away. He scanned his surroundings for a moment. "I need to collect the curse energy.""What? Are you sure?" The revelation stunned Selina."Yes. The thousand-corpse worm is the most dastardly cursebug in Curseland. I can't cure it for now, but I can absorb the curse energy with Revival and stop the spread of Queenie's poison."That answered Selina's question. 'So, he's doing this to stop the spread of the poison.'Nox then cast one of his Eight Techniques, Revival. He made hand seals, and green beams of light appeared in his palms. "I call upon the souls of this land. Curse energy, gather in my hand!"Black tendrils of energy slithered out of the cracks in the ground. These were all the souls of the killed, including Cursegod.Nox sucked the energy with his palm, an
