Chapter 1780 A perfect couple.
Chapter 1780 A perfect couple.
“So you are saying is…
That you can be as fast as your thoughts allow you to be…?”
“Yes.”
Aeliana nodded again.
Nux, however, couldn’t believe what he was hearing and asked even more questions.
“So you can be as fast as a Transcendent level being if you just think about it?”
“In my Mist form, yes.”
Once again, the woman nodded.
“What about an Eternal?”
“I have never seen an Eternal.
Though I did race with my father once.”
“And what were the results…?”
“I lost.”
Aeliana replied.
For a moment, Nux froze before he cleared his head.
Yes, what the hell was he even thinking asking that question.
That monster was the strongest being in the entire Universe, an Infinity Level Being. Obviously, he would win. Rather,
“What gave you the confidence to challenge him in the first place?”
Nux couldn’t help but question.
“I thought I could defeat him.”
Aeliana answered.
“And why is that?”
“I can move as fast as my mind allows me to, so if I have a ‘reference’ in my head that is moving ahead of me, then in theory, I can follow him at the same speed and even surpass them by increasing my speed even further.
Of course, my mind wouldn’t be able to process anything in my surroundings, but if it was only a race, in theory, as long as I can see my opponent, I would never lose.
I could then use that moment to try and get used to that speed. It is a form of training that helps me increase my speed even further.
I did the same when I was young. I trained with Progenitors. I raced with them, forced myself to move at their speed, then I forced my mind to get used to that speed in a way
that I can react to everything around me.
That’s what made me faster than all Primordials around me.”
“”
Nux was silent.
This was something he never knew about.
While Aeliana in the Illusion did tell him that she was faster than other Vampires, he just thought that it was because she had a strong bloodline. He knew she was fast…
But this fast…
He had no clue.
“So you lost to Lord Azriel because…
“I couldn’t see him when he moved.”
Aeliana shook her head.
“That man didn’t hold back, huh…”
Nux snorted.
“No, he did.
He said he would start with a tenth of his speed. I still couldn’t see him.”
“…”
Nux had no words.
“He is now training me at the speed at which I can see him, so I am improving bit by bit, but the progress is slow.”
Aeliana spoke, and only now did Nux realize why this woman was hailed as the strongest Primordial in the entire Yrniel.
It wasn’t just because of her strong bloodline or Law.
Unlike him, Vyriana, or anyone else for that matter, who relied on their abilities and Laws to get stronger, mastering them to the point where no other could stand against them,
Aeliana not only mastered these two, she even figured out a way to use her Law in a way others couldn’t even think of.
She didn’t just become strong just because she was supposed to because of her bloodline and Law.
She became strong because of her sheer efforts and creative ways to use whatever she had in her arsenal to surpass others, even beings a Phase above her.
“He says it is because I have already reached the limits of what my mind can process at my current level.
Now, while I can push through my limits by overloading my mind and progressing slowly, a much faster way would be to break through.”
Aeliana continued.
“Which isn’t possible because of Yrniel’s current conditions…”
Nux muttered.
“Even if Yrniel wasn’t in this state, breaking through isn’t easy,”
“Right…
Yrniel is currently a Low-Level World, I forgot.”
Nux nodded as he then sat up on the ground.
Aeliana sat next to him, both of them staring at the red moon in the sky.
“So this is how you were able to hold your own against the Progenitors, huh.
You used your speed.”
Nux didn’t know this before, but after observing Umbrasol, he did.
The Progenitors were Pseudo Transcendent.
They didn’t have a Law, however, their ‘energy quality’ was a bit shy from being compared to a true Transcendent.
So the Phase difference between Aeliana and the Progenitors remained.
Nux always wondered how the Vampire was able to hold the Progenitors on her own, even if the Progenitors in question were the weaker ones who didn’t focus on battles,
But now, his questions were answered.
It was her speed.
Against her ghost-like battle style, it was obvious that even the Progenitors, especially the ones who weren’t very used to battles, would have a difficult time.
“I have other techniques as well, but yes, my speed is the main reason I can hold them off for a few days. After that, my mind tires out and I am unable to fight more.”
“Doesn’t that mean if your mind never tires out, you will never lose to them?”
“Such fantasy-like thoughts are entertaining.”
Aeliana chuckled lightly.
Nux chuckled as well, his eyes, however, shimmered intensely.
For Aeliana, these were indeed ‘fantasy-like thoughts, but….
What about him?
A Being who has reformed his brain using the energy of a High-Level World.
His mind worked and processed things at a rate normal entities couldn’t even fathom…
If he learned Aeliana’s ability…
Nux couldn’t even imagine what sort of monster he would become.
“What about you?
You still didn’t tell me how you won against the Primordials you faced.
You just said your physical strength has risen. You didn’t tell how your fight went.”
“There is nothing much to tell honestly….
I punched the first one, his body was obliterated.
The second one, I punched him as well, only his feet remained.
The third one, I tore his head off.
The fourth one, I tore his arm off. He killed himself using all his life force.
The fifth one…
Well, he harmed my Vyriana, so he is still alive.
I figured Vyriana might want to talk to him when she wakes up!”
Nux shrugged, then leaned his head on Aeliana’s shoulder, making the Vampire
momentarily freeze.
Soon, however, she leaned her head on Nux’s head, and a light smile appeared on Nux’s
face as he continued.
“Honestly, I only won because I was lucky. If the opponents were stronger, I would have
lost.”
He sighed.
“”
And Aeliana just stayed silent, her mouth twitching without stop.
Honestly, these two monsters were perfect for each other.
They would continue to play this ‘making the other speechless’ game with each other
while the rest of the Universe loses its mind at their feats.
A perfect couple indeed.
