“Deputy General Ansel, General Armando has agreed to meet you. Please enter.” A soldier reported.
Deputy General named Ansel nodded and then, he walked inside the room.
“General Armando.” He saluted at the man sitting inside the room.
“Ansel, it is the middle of the night and I have to wake up early in the morning, you better make this worthwhile.”
“Yes, General.
The reason why I came here is simple, I want you to follow me.”
“Huh?” The General frowned.
“Follow you?”
“Yes, I have to show you something I found.” Ansel nodded.
Armando’s frown deepened,
“Why didn’t you bring it here?”
“I would have if I could,” Ansel answered.
“…”
Armando turned silent.
“General, I promise it will be worth your time.”
“What if it is not?” Armando narrowed his eyes and questioned.
“I-I bet my life on it.”
Ansel muttered after some hesitation.
Armando observed the man in front of him for a while and then, he nodded.
“Alright, take me where you want to.”
Ansel smiled,
“Thank you for trusting me, General.”
“I am not trusting you,
Remember, your life is on the line here.”
Armando warned coldly.
“Yes General.”
Ansel saluted and the two of them then walked out of the room.
After walking out of the room, Ansel stepped forward,
“General, it is a little far from here, let’s run.”
Saying that, he started running.
The General didn’t refuse and kept up with the Deputy General’s speed quite easily.
20 minutes later, the two of them appeared inside a deserted alleyway, a frown appeared on Armando’s face.
“How much more time will it take?” He questioned.
Suddenly, Ansel stopped running.
The General frowned and stopped as well.
“It is here?” He questioned.
“…” Ansel, however, did not reply.
“I asked you something, Ansel.”
“…”
Again, Ansel did not reply.
“Ansel, answer m-AGGGHH!!”
Armando commanded him again, however, before he could even complete his command, he screamed in pain and jumped forward.
With a quick movement, he turned around and there, he saw a man wearing skin-tight, black-coloured clothes, standing there with a dagger in his hand that was stained in fresh blood.
Armando’s eyes turned cold as he glanced at the man in front of him, then, he looked down at his right calf and gritted his teeth.
‘This would be problematic…
Just how in the hell did this man escape my senses?’
While Armando was thinking about all this, Ansel attacked him from behind, targeting his other calf.
However, with Armando’s senses, he reacted quickly and dodged the attack.
Then, a sword appeared in his hands and he slashed it at Ansel.
Ansel blocked the attack with his sword, however, since the impact was too strong, his body flew back and fell on the ground.
“Ansel you bastard! How dare you betray me!? Do you want to die!?” Armando questioned in fury.
“Now now, General Armando, it would be problematic for you if you ignore me.”
Armando narrowed his eyes as he looked at the man in front of him.
“Who are you?”
Armando questioned in caution. The man, however, just chuckled,
“What kind of assassin tells his identity just because he was asked?”
“Why are y-”
“Alright, let’s not waste time with these stupid questions.
You see, there are other important things that I have to do rather than being here.
So let me end this,
Armando Callen, are you willing to be Slave?”
“Huh?”
Armando frowned.
“You are quite brave for someone who is only an Expert Stage Cultivator.”
He countered with a cold face.
Hearing this, Nux shook his head in disappointment.
“Oh well, it seems that I would have to fight with a King Stage Cultivator now…”
Then, Nux looked at Armando and his golden eyes smiled brightly,
“Do not disappoint me, General Armando.”
Then,
Nux disappeared.
He appeared behind Armando, however, this seemingly fast attack was blocked by Armando without any major trouble.
Nux smiled.
And then, he increased the strength behind the attack.
“!!!”
A shocked look appeared on Armando’s face when he realized that he was being pushed back.
‘How is an Expert Stage Cultivator so strong?’
He questioned inwardly and at the same time, the ground under Nux’s foot moved.
Nux lost his balance and using this chance, Armando pushed him back and aimed at his neck.
However, as if it was boneless, Nux’s body bent down backwardly and then, with a few back flips, he created a distance between the two.
“Ground Tremor, a 4 Star Skill, hmm hmm, that’s quite an effective way to use it.”
Nux muttered as he recognized the move with a single gaze.
In these last few months, his knowledge has increased a lot, if earlier, he was just a person from another world with no knowledge of this world, now, he was a complete part of it and could be considered fairly knowledgeable.
And with Amaya and Arvina’s help, his knowledge about Cultivations and Skills has improved a lot.
“You are stronger than I thought,” Armando commented with a solemn look on his face.
Right now, he wasn’t thinking about winning this battle,
It was not that he thought he would lose for sure, but the problem was that Nux wasn’t alone, If Ansel attacked with him, things might get troublesome for him.
Therefore, saving his life was a priority.
“Hmm, you were the one who fought General Ember, right?”
Armando came out of his reverie when he heard his opponent’s sudden question.
“I heard that General Ember used both Wind and Fire elements, is that correct?”
Armando narrowed his eyes,
“Why do you care?”
“Nothing really,
I just wanted to confirm something.”
“Confirm?”
Nux’s smile widened as he straightened his back and a scary aura was released from his body.
“Yes, now answer me.
Who has better control over multiple elements?
General Ember, or…”
A Fireball was then shot towards Armando, the General jumped back however, a Sharp Spike shot out of the ground and attacked him.
The General Barely avoided, however, before he could even gain his balance, Nux used his [Wind Walk] and appeared behind him.
“Me.”
