Chapter 1249 Bury the hatchet, eh? That overgrown lizard sure is arrogant.
“You think my Nux would initiate a challenge he thinks he is going to lose?
Sauren stands no chance.” Melia had absolute confidence in her husband’s abilities. “My Nux’s, eh? Look at you acting all romantic. I never thought my daughter of all people would act like this. That boy really did some sort of magic on you, huh?” Ambrosia chuckled out loud. Melia lowered her head as she blushed, a small smile appearing on her face. She didn’t mind publicly declaring Nux’s to be hers. Actually, she liked doing it, if she could, she would announce it so loudly that the entire world could hear it. It was something she never thought she would do but… Meeting Nux simply changed her outlook on life. Nux was like a palate of color in her bland, monotonous life. Someone who changed her desires and goals and gave her a reason to smile brightly every single day. From her smile alone, Ambrosia could sense all these emotions her daughter was feeling, she couldn’t help but feel thankful towards Nux and felt good knowing that her daughter was being loved and was living an amazing life. Alaric, on the other hand, was focused on a completely different thing. It was Melia’s absolute confidence in Nux’s victory. Honestly, sensing that confidence, if he could, he would have already bet all his assets on Nux. Not that there was any man in the entirety of Yrniel who could double his bet and return it to him so it would be pointless nonetheless. Of course, this didn’t dishearten him. He had long since stopped caring about matters regarding resources and wealth. Rather, he took this chance to deliver the good news to his adorable niece, adding to her happiness. “Well, if what you are saying is true and Nux actually wins the battle, then Arcturus would personally take the initiative to bury the hatchet between ExceedoGenesis and the Dragon Continent. You people can then return to Yrniel and act as if nothing happened, continuing to challenge other clans and racing through the ranks without anyone troubling you. I am actually looking forward to your Clan’s meteoric rise, little girl.” Alaric revealed with an excited look on his face. Hearing his words, Ambrosia was taken aback, “Are you sure?” She questioned. After all, this wasn’t the matter one could joke about.
“Arcturus said it himself.” Alaric nodded. Ambrosia was taken aback. She never thought someone as stubborn as Arcturus would make such a decision, however, after thinking about the past few events, she could somewhat guess his thinking and figure out why he would suddenly want to bury the hatchet. Of course, no matter the reason, in Ambrosia’s eyes, it was indeed a good news. After all, now her Daughter’s Clan would have no reason to stay buried under the ranks and could rise swiftly. She was sure that as a person full of ambition, Melia would definitely be happy about it. Ambrosia quickly turned towards her daughter, wanting to see her reaction, and just as she expected, There was a smile on Melia’s face. “Heh.” The little Vampire laughed out loud. Alaric had a smile on his face as well, but suddenly, both he and Ambrosia frowned in confusion. For some reason… The smile on Melia’s face… Rather than looking relieved… it looked more… scornful…?
“Bury the hatchet, eh? That overgrown lizard sure is arrogant.” Melia laughed out loud. The arrogant words that came out of her mouth surprised both Alaric and Ambrosia. “Melia, watch your tone. No matter what, Arcturus is still your senior.” Alaric spoke with a serious look on his face. That Dragon had decided to settle the matter after such a long time, he didn’t want to ruin this opportunity just because of some petty arrogance. Melia, however, shook her head, “That ‘senior’ lost all my respect when he tried to kidnap my Sister.” She spoke with a strict look on her face. Alaric sighed as he tried to calm the girl down, “Melia, forget about it. Arcturus was wrong, I know that. Everyone makes mistakes once in a while but that doesn’t mean you have to pursue the matter until the end. When you have the chance to end things on a positive note, you should grab it. Opportunities like these are rare.” Ambrosia was nodding as well. She agreed with Alaric’s reasoning. There was no need to continue this matter any further if Arcturus was personally taking the initiative to bury the hatchet. Honestly, the fact that Arcturus was doing it could already be regarded as a big victory for ExceedoGenesis and Nux Leander. However… Melia simply shook her head, “Uncle, me forgetting and forgiving Arcturus wouldn’t matter. I am close to my Sisters, yes, and I am angry at the Dragon Lord for trying to harm them, however, even if I am willing to forgive him, Nux is different. With Arcturus continuously targeting him and his family, I can assure you, He will never bury the hatchet.” “Are you telling me that you wish to continue pursuing this matter indefinitely!?” Alaric raised his voice. He could predict how this matter could quite literally mark the end of the Yrniel so he wanted this to end as soon as possible, he was excited when an opportunity presented itself, however… Seeing how Melia was acting, he couldn’t control himself. “Oh trust me, uncle, we are not going to pursue it ‘indefinitely’. This will end a lot sooner than you think it will.
And I can assure you that the one coming out as the victor will be my husband.” Again, Melia’s confidence in her husband’s victory was unmatched. Heck, she even went as far as looking right into the Vampire King’s eyes and, “I will suggest you not side with the Dragon Lord even if the two of you are friends. My husband is usually an easygoing man unless you make the mistake of trying to harm the people he loves, a mistake Arcturus has made, more than once. He will not be forgiven.” “Those are some grand words, niece,” Alaric spoke with a solemn look on his face. “And I stand by those words.” Melia spoke. Then, without thinking about it any further, she stood up, waved her hand as a Portal formed in front of her, and, “I hope you all will come watch the battle tomorrow, I assure you it would be entertaining.” Saying those words, Melia walked into the Portal and the Portal closed. “Was that girl really our Melia…?” Alaric questioned as he turned towards her sister. “That girl is Nux’s Melia,” Ambrosia replied. Her daughter had changed. She could sense it. As to whether it was a good change or a bad one…
They would know it soon enough. After all, it is the winner who is right.
… Time passed and the anticipated day was here. The battle between the Leaders of ExceedoGenesis and Ashenhelm, Nux Leander, versus Sauren Thorn.
It was one of those extremely rare, probably the first of its type where almost every person in the entirety of Yrniel looked forward to the battle, but even then, the Stadium wasn’t packed with people continuously cheering for the side they supported. The large stadium which could host around 500,000 people was almost completely empty with barely 10,000 people coming in to actually watch the battle. After all, everyone knew that almost anytime, the Dragon Lord could appear with his 50 Subordinates to capture one of the challengers and it could lead to a big battle. No one wished to die from the aftereffects of someone else’s battle.
Well, there were still about 10,000 people who actually believed in their luck and still came to watch the battle. It was a suicidal move however, these people simply couldn’t contain their excitement and came here to join the fun. Of course, not all people who were here were relying on their luck to survive, there were many who trusted their own Skills. Many Divine Stage Cultivators had come to the stadium to watch the battle. Honestly, this was probably the battle with the highest number of Divine Stage viewers in the audience. The number of Divines in the Stadium had already crossed the 100 mark.
“Heeh, it sure is lively,” Aisha commented with a curious look on her face as she sensed the strength of the people in the audience. “Aisha… should we even be here…?” Maline questioned with a worried look on her face. “Sister, you worry too much, didn’t I tell you? Just trust my husband. Everything is under control.” “He is your husband, not mine! How am I supposed to trust him blindly!?” Maline was quick to counter. Rislith, who was standing next to them, was nodding inwardly as well. As the Eldest, she had to keep her pride and not panic in front of her little sisters, however, she completely agreed with Maline’s words. “Me being here should be enough reason to trust him blindly, Do you really think that man would let his wives come to a place fraught with danger?” Aisha questioned and this time, the sisters had no argument.
