Chapter 171 - Bell Attacks Draven
The moment she saw Nexus’s imposing appearance as he made thousands of people collapse, Nyx immediately replaced him with herself in her imagination.
She imagined that one day she would be lying there doing nothing while the enemies who saw her would all kneel down before her. That feeling must be absolutely wonderful.
"Wait... wait a moment! Go easy!"
Because Nyx grabbed him and shook him so hard that his brain was about to fly out, Mark couldn’t catch his breath, let alone speak normally.
Mark was crying loudly inside right now. What the hell had he done to deserve this, that he was always the one getting hurt?
Even in a safe place like the American Hunter Academy, on his very first day, he was almost shaken so hard by an S-rank hunter that his neck nearly broke. He was just too unlucky.
Perhaps Mark had really used up all the luck of his life in exchange for the chance to become Nexus’s disciple.
Nyx saw that Mark really seemed to be in pain, so she let go. She had only awakened not long ago, so she really could accidentally injure someone because she forgot how strong she was.
"Speak. So I can consider whether I should learn this thing called cultivation or not. If you intend to hide any information, then..."
She stopped halfway and looked at Mark. Even though she was wearing a sleep mask and her eyes couldn’t be seen, Mark still felt like some kind of monster was glaring at him, making him swallow.
"Okay... okay. If you keep hitting me, I’ll really die, so be a little careful."
He had faced terrifyingly powerful beings like Cerberus before, but Mark actually felt safer around Cerberus. At least Cerberus had very good control over his strength instead of doing things recklessly like Nyx.
While the two of them were talking about cultivation, the heavy atmosphere in the plaza still hadn’t disappeared.
It was truly heavy in the literal sense because thousands of students were feeling the suffocating pressure from Nexus pressing down on them.
" I don’t like the way you people look at me. You’re nothing but lowly mortals who don’t worship the great Nexus, yet you dare look at me with fearful eyes. That’s completely unacceptable."
With that, Nexus increased the pressure again. This time, no one was even capable of kneeling before him anymore.
Nexus’s wonderful equality made it so that whether they were men or women, everyone was now lying flat on the ground.
This helpless and embarrassing posture, if photographed, could be considered one of the most humiliating moments of these young prodigies.
This had been going on for far too long. Even though Lailah had deliberately ignored it, at this point she couldn’t really do nothing.
She rummaged through her magic bag and took out a magical gadget. This gadget was called ’Angel Wings’.
Angel wings were a pair of small white wings that looked like jewelry. When attached to her back, they allowed her to fly even though the wings didn’t flap. Simply put, she could fly in a completely illogical way as if she were using magic.
She had used this thing to fly into Bell’s office the first time the two of them met.
After attaching angel wings to her back, Lailah immediately flew toward Nexus. She couldn’t let him continue causing trouble like this anymore.
Seeing her fly over, except for Bell and Nexus, everyone else was extremely surprised.
They were surprised by her extraordinary courage, as she had a completely calm expression when facing so many powerful people, and they were also surprised by how absurd the magical gadget and magic bag were.
Only someone who was blind wouldn’t be able to see that Lailah’s physical body was far too weak compared to the extraordinary ability she possessed.
Seeing a beautiful blonde girl as pretty as an angel flying over with a lollipop still in her mouth, Draven’s heart skipped a beat.
He had slept with hundreds of different girls before, yet this was the first time Draven felt that someone could be this pure and adorable.
If someone tied Lailah up, even drugged her until she passed out, and then threw her into Draven’s room, he wouldn’t do anything at all and would just stare at her sleeping.
Just now, Draven had been too arrogant and didn’t bother looking at anyone. Otherwise, if he had tried to find Nexus like Nyx, he might have seen Lailah and wouldn’t have said those crazy things.
"Little... little angel... Truly a little angel..."
For the first time in many years, Draven actually buttoned up his shirt instead of leaving his chest exposed. He quickly fixed his appearance to look a little more proper, no longer looking like one of those spoiled young masters with too much money.
This action of his made both Bell and Nexus feel extremely annoyed. Even though the reasons they were upset were different, their common goal was to beat up Draven and make him understand that Lailah was not someone he could touch.
"You’re asking to die!"
Bell immediately transformed into the Wind Wolf King and charged forward, throwing a punch toward Draven.
The moment the fist approached, Draven’s muscles swelled up. A layer of glittering golden dragon scales covered his body, and in the blink of an eye he had transformed into the Golden Dragon state.
The flexible, stretchable outfit made from special materials did not tear because Draven grew larger. Two cuts large enough for his huge golden wings to grow out and move freely had been prepared on the back of his shirt.
With lightning-fast speed, Draven immediately turned around and counterattacked. The fists of two combat-type S-rank hunters collided so hard that they created a shockwave.
This shockwave could easily injure ordinary people, but Lailah had Nexus protecting her, so whether this shockwave existed or not, it couldn’t even touch a single strand of her hair.
Even though he had to counterattack from a disadvantageous position, Draven showed no signs of being inferior and was even somewhat stronger than Bell.
The two struggled for a moment before pulling apart. Their human eyes had transformed into the eyes of terrifying monsters. They stared at each other with extremely hostile gazes.
