1258 Rich Mother
"Wouldn't you feel wrong by dying in the hands of an opponent you could have killed if it weren't for so many people influencing the battle?"
"...as if I have a choice."
"What if I say you do have a choice?"
Nux questioned with a playful smile on his face.
"..."
Arcturus didn't say anything and simply narrowed his eyes. Ashe already mentioned, he wasn't interested in any of Nux's games, he wasn't willing to play along with this one either. Taking his own life was too cowardly for someone like him, even if he wanted to die, it would be better to die from an enemy's hand.
At the very least, he acknowledged Nux enough to be one to take his life.
After all, this man had high-level members of the Ancestral Order backing him up, his future was limitless. Death by his hands... it wasn't as embarrassing as he may believe.
"I am not satisfied with this ending either. My enemy being held down by others, offering me to take his head, it doesn't sit well with me. After all, I have always solved my problems on my own, I wish to do the same this time as well.
I wish to defeat you when you are not being held back by any sort of Artifact."
Nux spoke and finally, he got Arcturus's attention. Seeing that, Nux smiled inwardly and continued, "But...
I cannot risk my family's safety just to satisfy my desire to fight either."
"What are you trying to say?"
Arcturus questioned directly.
"Become my Slave."
Nux offered.
"What...?"
"Become my Slave, protect me till I become a Divine Stage Cultivator and promise not to hurt anyone around me, if you do that, Then you can attack me in whatever way you wish to moment I become a Phase Three Cultivator. I believe then it would truly be a fair fight."
"Fair fight? You are a Complete Cultivator, we are no-"
"Well, then you simply die right now,
I want to fight a warrior, not a weakling with nothing but endless excuses in his head."
Nux shrugged.
"..."
Arcturus turned silent.
"Decide quickly, Arcturus.
You can't keep all these people waiting."
"...what makes you so sure that I will not go back on my promise and harm you before you become a Divine?"
"Hmm? I don't know, I was thinking along the lines of your warrior's will or something. I doubt you would feel better after backstabbing a man weaker than you just so you could get rid of him. I'd hate myself for the rest of my life if I ever do it."
"You are unexpectedly na?ˉve."
Arcturus commented.
"Don't act like we are close,
Just answer the question,
Are you willing to become my Slave or not?"
"I don't understand why you want me to protect you when you already have so many people protecting you, but whatever, if it means I have a shot at smashing that hateful face and burying you 6 feet under the ground, Then yes, I agree."
Arcturus spoke and in an instant, a strange energy entered his body.
[Slaves: Arcturus Blaze.]
The moment Nux saw that message, a big smile appeared on his face. Honestly, he didn't think this would work since Arcturus didn't exactly answer the direct question even though the intent behind his answer was the same, 'I guess the intent is all I need.'
Nux noted in his head.
"What did you do to me?"
Arcturus, on the other hand, questioned with a frown on his face. Nux, however, just chuckled and, "You don't need to know, idiot."
Saying those words, Nux waved his hands and Arcturus passed out.
He then grabbed his body and threw it inside the Portal that formed near him. Then, the Black Mist surrounding the stage disappeared and the people who only saw Nux standing in the middle frowned in confusion.
"Where is Arcturus?"
