Chapter 1743 So you are finally panicking, huh?

“Even now, huh…

I thought they would change their strategy,”

Nux muttered out loud as he stared at another Wraith walking towards him.

He had already defeated around 15 Wraiths, all of them utilizing Death Energy in different ways.

It truly showed how versatile Death Energy was, and as beings who had mastered all those abilities to perfection, it just went to show how absurdly strong these Wraiths were.

They were indeed beings with no weak points, perfect attackers with perfect defense, perfect stealth, and perfect damage-dealing abilities.

They were complete all-rounders who could overwhelm almost anyone they met, especially at the same stage.

Of course, the ‘key here was ‘almost everyone!

Because right now, they were facing a being who was just like them, a being who could do everything they could, but better.

A lot, lot better.

And because of that,

He could counter anything they threw at him.

Sure, at their cultivation level, combined with the environment they were in, these Wraiths were indeed peak-level existences with no competition whatsoever.

Even beings from Supreme Worlds couldn’t face them here.

But…

Ever since the start,

Nux had never seen beings on the same cultivation level as his competition.

When was the last time he took someone on the same level as him seriously?

Honestly, even if he ever did, he couldn’t remember it.

These Wraiths were no exceptions.

Even this one, who had activated the ability that scared Rudrasil shitless, wasn’t an exception either. The Ascendence of the Undying.

The Wraith entered the state of Undying, where it existed between life and death, phasing through physical matter and becoming absolutely impossible to kill for people like Nux, who could only use physical attacks.

It was an ability somewhat similar to the Vampire’s Mist form or the Shadow Demon’s ability to turn into a shadow. In both these cases, physical attacks didn’t harm these beings.

However…

Unlike in their cases, where their attack power was reduced to the point it became negligible… For the being who entered the state of Undying. was quite the opposite.

Their attacks were strengthened even further, dealing even more damage to the enemy. This was a reason it was seen as an Absolute Ability, even against Eternal-level beings. These Wraiths, after 5 losses, had finally understood what sort of monster they were facing. This monster wasn’t using any ‘abilities’; he was only using brute strength. Therefore, their ability was a perfect counter against him.

So this time… it was as good as over…

Or that is what it should be…

But the Wraiths made one mistake.

It wasn’t that Nux couldn’t use any abilities.

He just wasn’t using any because he didn’t need to.

His physical strength had indeed outgrown his other abilities, but this didn’t mean he didn’t have any other abilities. Quite the opposite, actually. The number of abilities he had was almost frightening.

After all, he was a being who had absorbed quite a few of Yrniel’s strongest bloodlines, upgraded them to Middle-Level World’s Bloodline, and last, but worst of them all…

He had Seven Laws.

And one, out of those seven laws, was absolutely perfect in this situation.

Suddenly, black mist came out of Nux’s hand as he stared at the Wraith in front of him.

The Law of Absolute Devour.

The Power of Primordial Destruction.

A being who exists between life and death? It didn’t matter. Whether it is life or death, ‘existing’ itself requires “Space!

So…

What if he devoured that very Space instead?

With a demonic smile on his face, Nux appeared right in front of the Wraith and placed his hand on its head.

It didn’t matter if the being was covered with Death Energy or that Nux couldn’t actually touch it or that with him being this close, the being could attack him with the plethora of abilities it had. Because the moment Nux appeared in front of the Wraith, the Devouring Mist spread all over the Space, engulfing the Wraith in one go, and in the next second,

The Mist and the Wraith inside it disappeared.

The so-called ultimate ability of the Wraiths that they were so proud of, it was countered just like that.

Silence.

Deathly silence spread over the place.

Of course, these Wraiths couldn’t speak, so this place was as silent as it was before. Right now, however, the silence was much louder.

The Wraiths were frozen.

This was the last thing they were expecting.

Even their trump card was destroyed…

And it all happened in a few seconds…

Once again, the Wraiths stared at each other, and Nux, who observed that, smiled widely.

“So you are finally panicking, huh?

Well, you lasted much longer than I expected’

He chuckled.

He could sense around 10,000 Wraiths coming this way.

The rest of the 80,000 were still near the Necrocore.

It seemed like these Wraiths believed that 10,000 of them should be enough to take him down.

Nux prepared himself.

He made it look like what he just did was easy, and it was. He had been using Devouring Mist for a long time, and after devouring Amaya’s Law, controlling it had only become easier.

However, using it required energy.

Together with being forced to constantly use the Devouring Mist to devour the Death Energy around

him, saving his energy was of utmost importance. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After all, he needed to face 90,000 such beings.

And as someone who was used to openly expending as much energy as he wanted to-since most of the time, his energy regeneration speed was pretty much similar to the rate at which he expended it -he had almost infinite energy.

Now, however, with his regeneration rate being barely 10% of what it usually was, he needed to be cautious. Especially since almost anything could happen in here.

While Nux was sure he could deal with 90,000 Wraiths even if he didn’t recover his energy at all- heck, even if he went all insane and decided to just devour every Wraith by releasing dense Devouring Mist all over the place with his vast energy reserves, he would still spend only 50% of his

total reserves.

The only reason he didn’t do it was because what he knew about this place only came from a single

survivor.

He wasn’t foolish enough to bet his life based on information provided by a single survivor, even if the said survivor was an Eternal.

Sure, it was said that after dealing with the Wraiths, you could go devour Umbrasol.

But what if there was another step?

A step no one else could even reach until now?

Of course, the probability of that happening was quite small since these Wraiths themselves were no different than an absolute line of defense. It is very possible that Umbrasol had used everything it

had to create these beings.

But…

Nux couldn’t take any risks here.

After all, precaution was always better than a cure.

The last thing he wanted was for Riona to forcefully come here because of her Law and put her life.

at risk.

Therefore, he would clear this Black Mission without so much as a single injury.

Nux’s eyes shined as he stared at almost 11,000 Wraiths now surrounding him.
