"Rising Pillar seems like a really good start for your training." Master Joe said, a toothy grin appearing on his face. Nux knew this was trouble, he had been with Master Joe long enough to know when he was up to something. "Lets start with the basic." He jumped to his feets and dragged Nux outside. They moved through the small town they were in, left through the gates and entered the forest ahead. There they found an open area they could stay in and began their training. Aegis hovered fifty meters above their heads and began to spin on his axis, generating Mana in the process and forming a dome that covered the surrounding hundred meters."Rising Pillar is quite a simple Spell to be honest, and the aim of the Spell is to create a pillar of fire beneath your target. But first..."Master Joe went ahead and performed a movement sequence, then he suddenly stomped his foot on the ground, and out of the ground, five meters away from him, a pillar of Blue and Green energy rose up, shovin
"Now that you've successfully learnt the Spell, I want you to perfect it and be able to apply in battle, so keep casting the Spell until you run out of Mana. In the meantime... Natalie come out!" Master Joe called out. It took a few seconds, but Natalie finally came out shyly, her head lowered, and her hand behind her back. She had been hiding there for quite some time now, and she had been spotted by Master Joe. "Your training would begin now, and I want you to give your all." Master Joe said and went ahead to begin teaching Nux and Natalie from that day onward. Nux was taught some of the Spells he had purchased from the Limitless Sea Academy together with Crazed Arrows, the Spell he had won from Gregory. He was also taught some Techniques that could be used in hand to hand combat, and he easily learnt them.Nux didn't slack off for a second. Though this period was supposed to be a time for him to rest, he didn't neglect his training either. And so time passed, and Nux was able t
Nux knew that he wasn't fast enough, and the terrain wasn't to his advantage. His opponents were aerial too, further worsening the situation. "Doesn't mean I'll loose though." He acknowledged. He came to a grinding halt and turned around in one smooth motion, he faced his palms towards each other and placed them by his side, close to his hip. Fire began to charge in between them, and as the birds got closer, he compressed the flames that had gathered and threw his palms out, unleashing a beam right at them. Large swathes of them dropped to the ground, dead, but a large number of them remained. Nux didn't slow down after that first move and immediately attacked again. His punched out, and a short burst of flame went out and killed some birds again. The birds were weak individually, and their strength lied in their large Numbers, so each burst of flame took out at least two to three birds. Some seconds later, Nux realised that his efficiency was lacking, and his Mana was draining
Nux stayed shocked for just a second before he acted out, punching out and shooting flames around. The Orange flames lighted up the cave for a second, and he was able to see around, giving Nux a vague idea of where he was. He wasn't a hundred percent sure, but he wasn't in the Beast's belly yet, and he also wasn't in it's mouth. He didn't understand how that was, but all Beasts came with their own unique mutations, quirks and mind-blowing Abilities. Nux, after falling for some seconds, finally landed on a soft squishy part. Goosebumps erupted over his skin as his phobia for soft, wet and squishy things came up. He reigned in the urge to step away from the place he stood on and clenched his fists. His arms lit up with Orange flames, and he raised them up, pointing it around and looking for a clue that could help him escape from the place he was easily, without blowing the Beast up. He noticed, after a while of searching, that the ground was pulsating, further agitating his phobia.
The Shark Queen glowed brightly as the Red and Gold rocks entered her body. The light turned so blinding Nux had to squint his eyes. The phenomenon occuring was one he hadn't seen before, and he therefore didn't know if it was dangerous or not. He considered retreating and reporting his sightings to Master Joe, but something in his mind was telling him to stay, and so he did. The Shark Queen let out a loud noises one last time and suddenly exploded. The explosion wasn't destructive, and the shockwaves, flames and rocks that shot out did little to no damage.Nux stood all through the explosion, only his pants and long black hair ruffling while he stood unmoving. When the explosion was almost over, all the particles, rocks, flames and whatnot that were pushed back by the explosion suddenly paused midair, as if time was stopped, and they began to flow in reverse, going back towards the origin of the explosion.Now Nux was truly intrigued. The fire first condensed to form a humanoid f
"Were...were am I?"Grabbing his head and trying to seat up, Nux reeled and fell back to the ground with a loud thud, earning him more pain to his already battered body.He glanced at his hands that was slowly being healed and sighed."So that vampire actually killed me huh? It didn't feel nice to have my blood being drained out of my bo... WAIT!!! MY HANDS ARE HEALING!!!" Nux exclaimed in shock. Indeed, his hands were healing at a frightening speed, and on a closer look, he realized that his beerbelly that he usually sported was no more. His skin was pale and a long blue hair kept blocking his view from time to time, annoying him greatly. After a while, he was able to sit up and access the situation properly. He felt different, as if he wasn't himself, and by himself he meant his bodily structure. He was known to be fat, too fat for his age even. But his pale skin, lithe body and blue hair that kept annoying him were new to him.Getting up to get a good look, a sudden headache ass
Nux stared with shock at the look alike of the Infinity Gauntlet. Why was it so similar? If it actually was the Infinity Gauntlet, did that mean that there were Infinity Stones somewhere in this world? Who was this prince that was meant to be given this Treasure? It has to be Prince Naveen right? Did he have some of the stones already? What were his intentions? Nux didn't have any answers to any of the questions he asked himself, he just kept staring at the wooden interior with his mouth agape ."I have to take this back with me, I can't give it to that prince if I don't want Aragoth to fall. The wars between the Empires might escalate anytime soon and that prince might just be a traitor, he has a bad reputation anyways, so who would trust him with this kind of weapon. Sigh!! I suddenly feel stupid for trying to actually find a way to give the prince the gauntlet, why didn't I realize that it was Prince Naveen, there isn't any other prince in the next kingdom.Nux got to his feets a
With his eyes fluttering open, Nux woke up to the sound of water pouring, and the sound of a clothing being squeezed. He looked to his side and saw the delicate, smooth and unblemished hands of a woman move to his head. He tried to resist, but he was too weak to even lift a finger. He felt numb, and cold too. Soon, he felt the clothing rest on his head, a warm feeling washed over him, he felt his eyes clearing and feeling return to his body slowly, then he began to feel his fingers twitching.He opened his eyes finally to see a hand resting on his head and releasing a warm green glow, the hand obscured the person's face, but he could make out the details of a feminine figure.The hands resting on his head had two bead jewelries on them. He saw the clean off-white silk clothing worn by the woman and tied by the waist with a beautiful root like rope. At the neck, the cloth was parted to reveal large cleavages that he definitely knew were as soft as marshmallows. The parted area of th
