Chapter 621 A Waste
"Huh? Nux?"
Ember frowned.
She then looked around, however, no matter where she looked, she couldn\'t find him,
"Is he talking to you right now?"
Ember questioned.
"Ask him how he is."
Felberta spoke with a worried look on her face.
"Yes, ask about the situation there."
Evane nodded.
"Guys…"
Amaya, however, didn\'t respond to any of them and called out.
"What is it?" Allura questioned.
Amaya then pointed at the battlefield and muttered,
"Nux…"
"What are you talking about?"
Ember frowned in confusion.
Soon, however, Riona\'s expression changed.
"T-That Mist…"
"Huh? Mist?"
Felberta frowned.
"Wait…"
Edda\'s expression changed as well as she pointed at the Sky.
"T-That\'s the Devouring Mist!"
Skyla pointed at the sky and exclaimed as well.
"Devouring Mist…" Lane muttered.
The light in her eyes suddenly increased.
"He succeeded."
A smile appeared on Amaya\'s face.
"We are going there." She spoke, however, this time, instead of running away, Amaya glanced at Evane.
"What are we waiting for?" Evane smiled.
Amaya\'s smile widened, she and the other women then rushed towards the battlefield.
Riona and Arvina, who were left behind glanced at each other and then decided to run and follow them as well.
The King Stage Cultivators of the Shadow Unit, General Phorus, Consort Iria, and some other King and Expert Stage Cultivators of the Skadi Kingdom and the Woods Dynasty started running towards the battlefield as well.
Amaya and the others appeared near the battlefield, soon, however, their expression changed,
The entire Battlefield was Black.
The Devouring Mist was surrounding everything, even though the sun was shining brightly, nothing inside the Mist was visible, the man-beast, Astaria, Nux, Alcimus, and his disciple, none of them were visible.
"The Mist has gotten stronger…"
Even though she was still standing away from it and wasn\'t really in contact with the Mist, Ember could still feel that its power has certainly increased.
"It has…"
Thyra nodded as well.
While they were talking, other soldiers arrived and stood beside them as well.
*Whoosh*
And as if waiting for this moment, the Devouring Mist moved and expanded even further, within a second, it engulfed Nux\'s wives and all the soldiers who had appeared here.
"W-What is it!?"
"What is this Black Mist!!"
"It\'s too dark here!"
"AaaAagghh!! I-I-It is eating away my Mana!"
"M-Mine too! It is eating away my Mana as well!!"
"T-This thing! Get away from me!"
"Everyone! Run away! Get away from this Black Mist!"
The Soldiers panicked.
None of them knew what this Devouring Mist was. However, all of them understood how dangerous it was.
Especially this new Devouring Mist.
Mind you, all the soldiers here were either Expert or King Stage Cultivators, they were the beings who could simply ignore the normal Devouring Mist.
For beings like them to actually panic when they are surrounded by the Mist, it just shows how strong the Devouring Mist has gotten.
"Why are they acting like this?"
Suddenly, Edda frowned.
She couldn\'t see anyone because even her vision was affected by the Devouring Mist, however, from what she heard, she knew that they were all panicking and the Mist was somehow affecting them, however, that was what confused her.
She was surrounded by the Mist as well.
"I don\'t feel anything at all…"
"I am the same as well… The Mist is not affecting me either…" Allura nodded as well.
"It is Nux\'s doing. He is purposefully avoiding harming us." Amaya explained.
The other women smiled as well.
"Even though I can\'t see you, I am sure all of you are smiling right now." Suddenly, Riona spoke up.
"…"
The woman didn\'t reply.
"Anyways, I am not as lucky as you, the Mist is Devouring my Mana, I need to get out of its range."
"Is it really that bad?" Suddenly, Ember questioned with a frown on her face.
She had a doubt.
Riona paused and turned towards Ember,
"It is not that bad, it is eating away my Mana yes, however, things are still manageable, and the devouring rate is a little slow. Of course, that is adjusted by the quantity of the Mist. It is this harmful when it is focusing on so many people, I wonder how scary it would be when it focuses on a single being."
"…"
Ember didn\'t reply.
Riona then ran out of the Mist\'s area, and Arvina followed behind.
"Ember, what happened?" Suddenly, Thyra questioned.
She could feel Ember\'s worry.
"The Mist has gotten stronger."
Ember spoke.
"It has indeed." Thyra nodded.
The other women frowned.
Wasn\'t it a good thing? Why was Ember acting like this?
Thyra, however, had a rough idea about what Ember was thinking about.
Unlike Riona, she knew how the Devouring Mist worked.
The quantity of the Mist was never the matter.
It doesn\'t have the option of \'focusing\' on a single target.
The current Devouring Mist and the Devouring Mist that will \'focus\' on a single target… both of them would have a similar effect.
"The Devouring Mist is barely affecting a King Stage Cultivator…
Nawdren is stronger than an Emperor…
Would… would the Mist really do… anything against him?"
Ember questioned with a worried look on her face.
Hearing her question, the other women\'s expression changed.
They now understood what the problem was.
The Devouring Mist has indeed gotten stronger, however, even now… it was still useless.
"That\'s not it."
Suddenly, Amaya spoke up.
Out of all the women here, she was the one who knew the most about the Devouring Mist.
"What do you mean?"
Ember questioned.
"This Mist…
It is nothing but waste."
"Huh?" A frown appeared on Ember\'s face.
"What do you mean Waste?"
Evane questioned.
"I mean what I just said.
It is just a waste.
This is not the actual Mist.
It is just the waste the has been released after Nux upgraded his Physique Level."
Amaya revealed and hearing those words, the women\'s eyes widened in horror.
"This… this is just a waste?"
"T-Then… what about the real thing?"
