Chapter 1464 You better kill me now, Azriel Ruinous.  

You better kill me now, Azriel Ruinous.

"Your Daughter...?"

Nux muttered, then, a disdainful smile appeared on his face and, "Rich coming from a man who appeared after, what? A Hundred Thousand Years? Or is it longer than that?"

Silence.

Heavy silence descended all over the area.

The Progenitors widened their eyes in horror. Even Vyriana, Nux's wives, Aeliana were shocked.

Nux on the other hand, wasn't finished.

"Calling her your daughter when she can't even recognize your face, do you have no shame?"

Nux then turned towards Vyriana and,

"Vyriana, didn't you say you have never seen someone as shameless as me?

Well look at this! You found someone much better than me! How surprising, isn't it?"

"Nux..." Vyriana called out.

Just one look on Nux's face was enough for her to know that he had lost his mind.

He wasn't thinking straight and in this current situation, it was anything but good.

"I might have countless faults, but at the very least, I am damn sure that I would never leave a member of my family alone to fend for her own and then return tens of thousands of years later, asserting my relationship with her.

I have always heard how strong the Vampire Progenitor is and now that I finally got a glimpse of it myself, I must say, I am shocked.

I never thought one could train their hearts to the point where nothing hurts you anymore, not even your family member's tears.

And here I am, so weak that just seeing my wives sad is enough to churn my heart, I indeed have a long way to go.

Lord Azriel, I must say, you have indeed opened my eyes today."

Nux spoke as he glared at Azriel as if he were looking at his eternal enemy. The hatred and anger in his eyes seemed unnatural considering the point that this was the first time he was meeting this man.

"You speak quite a lot for someone who is about to die, outsider."

Azriel muttered.

His voice was low, however, the power behind those words sent goosebumps to all the Progenitors present here.

He was angry. Extremely angry.

However,

"Oh yeah? Well, what can I do? I have this trait when no matter what the situation is, I start speaking a lot whenever I stand in front of a coward."

"What...?" Azriel's expression distorted.

For an instant, staring at this man, Nux's body trembled as he felt something.

In the time he spent inside the illusion, he had gained many things, one of them was... A sort of friendship with 'Death'.

After dying so many times, he could, at some level, understand and 'feel' death.

And staring at this man right now made him feel exactly that... Death.

He could feel that his 'death' was close.

However, friendship with death wasn't the only thing he had gained inside the illusion.

After dying so many times, Nux had also stopped fearing death. Especially not a death like this one.

"What? Have you never been told the truth before? Let me do the honours then.

You are a coward, Azriel Ruinous.

Strongest being in the universe my ass.

You are just a coward who couldn't even provide a beautiful life to your own daughter, fuck beautiful, you forced your own daughter to hate this world!"

"!!!"

Aeliana widened her eyes when she heard those words. The Progenitors, Azriel, and even Vyriana were shocked.

"Primordial Stage? Absolute Law? Leader of the Ancestral Order? Eternal Life?

Bullshit!

What is the point of all this when you hate every second of this!?

You!

You, Azriel Ruinous, made your daughter's life a living hell!

And then you are bold enough to come out and call her your daughter!?

How ridiculous!"

Nux shouted.

It was as if someone had pulled his last straw, he was unleashed, like a mad ownerless dog who wanted nothing more than to take out all his anger.

"And what was all that bullshit about me being a threat? You even went as far as attacking my mother, someone you consider your 'friend'. Do relationships even mean anything to you!? Or are you just some power-hungry bastard who cares about no one but himself!? You are supposed to be the Protector of this world, aren't you!?

The so-called ultimate shield of Yrniel?

Aren't you supposed to protect this world from the 'threats' like me?

Then why does it even matter if I am a threat or not?

I am not even a Semi Saint. Anyone from the High Order can squash me to death, the real powers do not even have to move.

Why would someone like you care if I am dangerous or not? Why personally come out trying to end me? Do you think your people cannot handle me if I actually do become a threat?

Or...

Is it that you are scared that I will someday surpass you?

Because if you are,

Then I must say, your instincts are sharper than I thought.

One day, I will surpass you.

And that day will come so soon that you won't even realize it."

Nux then stared at Azriel as he then stepped forward and,

"You better kill me now, Azriel Ruinous.

Because if I am given a chance to grow,"

Nux then stared at Aeliana, the hatred in his eyes replaced with pure affection and, "I will come for you because I don't forgive when others hurt people close to me.

And you've hurt two of them."

The Progenitors gulped.

The Aura Nux released was scary, however, that was not what scared them. It was Azriel's silence.

Nux's words were harsh, too harsh. None of them, despite knowing Azriel for hundreds of thousands of years could imagine how he would react.

However...

"..."

Azriel was silent.

Staring at his daughter, who didn't deny any of the words Nux said, even reacting strongly to some of them... Azriel's mind completely ignored everything the boy in front of him said and focused on a single part.

His daughter hated this world...

And the reason behind that was... he himself...?

As a man who did everything for the sake of his only family left in this world... those words pierced through his very soul.

Yrniel's Warning, Nux being a threat, none of that mattered right now.

Right now...

"A-Aeliana..."
