986: None of them can defeat him either.

None of them can defeat him either.

"There is no need of taking any extreme steps.

I accept my defeat."

Elijah spoke with a slight smile on his face.

Then, he glanced at Nux and extended his hand,

"You are one of the strongest Great Sages I have met, Nux."

Nux shook his hand with a smile on his face, then, he raised his eyebrow and, "One of the strongest?"

His question was clear, 'Not 'the' strongest?'

"Hahaha~"

Hearing that, Elijah laughed out loud.

"Well I was just trying to act arrogant, you are indeed the strongest Great Sage I have ever met."

"Better." Nux nodded. "The hell I have been through was all worth it."

"It must have been hard huh… Walking on the road of complete cultivation, it is much more difficult and complex compared to normal cultivation.

But you became a complete Great Sage, I am sure you must have worked hard." Elijah spoke as he sympathized with Nux.

"Oh, I worked hard alright." Nux nodded, then, he glanced at the box his wives were sitting in and with a playful smile on his face, "I definitely worked hard."

"But that was not the hard work I was talking about right now."

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"I was trained by Father-in-law and Mother-in-law this past month." Nux replied

"Ah, right, Aunt Ambrosia did mention that. I guess she was right about her student being strong."

"Well, of course, I cannot shame my teacher, now can I? Not to mention all my wives were watching the battle as well." Nux smiled.

"You seem to love your wives a lot."

"Can you possibly hate them? I am the luckiest man alive."

"Hahaha~ That's a good answer!"

Elijah laughed out loud.

The tense atmosphere completely disappeared. Seeing that the son of the Vampire King, the Vampire Hero, and the Strongest Vampire in the younger generation of the Vampire, being defeated and acknowledging Nux completely changed his image amongst the crowd.

Did Nux not deserve Lady Melia? If he didn't, then who did!?

Also, wasn't Lady Melia free to choose who she wanted to marry? Who were these people to doubt her decision?

"Nux Leander!!"

"Congratulations Nux Leander!"

"Lord Elijah! Don't lose hope! You are still our role model!"

"Lord Nux!"

Soon, the entire stadium which was absolutely silent all this while erupted in cheers, the crowd showered their love to both Elijah, who was defeated, and Nux who had defeated one of the Seven Heroes and had proved his worth.

Elijah and Nux glanced at each other before they glanced at the crowd, then, Elijah raised his hand, waving at the crowd, this welcomed another wave of cheers. Then, Elijah placed his hand on Nux's shoulder and,

"Though I have many things to say, I won't ruin your moment more than I already have. Please continue the event, though I highly doubt anyone would challenge you after this."

"Well, maybe those who think they can defeat the Vampire Hero might." Nux joked.

"Heh." Elijah laughed. "Maybe the event would proceed as to how it was meant to proceed, creating more, stronger couples."

Saying those words, Elijah flew away and stood next to his father.

"Are you sure about this?" Ambrosia questioned as she glanced at her nephew.

"I lost fair and square, Aunt. Don't worry, I am not that petty. I know how to acknowledge my loss."

"It is not just about your loss, you know?" Alaric glanced at his son as he commented.

"Heh, it's not like I am the only Hero who will be defeated by that man." Suddenly, Elijah chuckled. Then he glanced at his fellow heroes who stood next to their respective leaders and, "Other than Vedier, who is now a Semi Saint, none of the Seven Heroes here can defeat him."

"Talk about yourself, Elijah." Suddenly a woman with greyish skin, long raven hair, and eyes spoke up with an emotionless look on her face.

The woman was standing with her arms crossed, her arrogant but reserved nature could be seen by all.

She was the Hero of Demons, a Shadow Demon, Norana Nightshade.

"That is correct, it is not our fault that you are weak," Lucious Celestria, the Human Hero spoke up as well.

"Heeh? It is amusing how the two of you are acting like you are stronger than me." Elijah chuckled.

He may have lost against Nux, but this didn't mean he was weak. Nux was just an absurdly strong being, not to mention all those mysterious abilities of his.

These people, however, were different, Elijah was confident that other than Vedier Blaze, the Dragon Hero, he could defeat any of the other Heroes.

"Acting like? I am stronger than you." Norana replied.

"Why don't we test it out?" Elijah was quick to challenge.

"I do not wish to defeat someone who hasn't even recovered from his previous wounds, and to think your race flaunts your regeneration, heh."

"Right, I completely forgot I was injured and challenged you."

Elijah laughed as he scratched the back of his head.

Ambrosia and Alaric frowned when they saw him acting like that, then, however,

"Or maybe it's because you are so weak that I don't feel threatened enough to actually prepare before fighting you."

Morana looked into Elijah's eyes.

"Alright then, let's see just how weak I actually am." Morana was ready to have a go at it.

"Come to the sta-" Elijah was about to agree as well, but then,

'That is enough. I allowed you to move independently but this doesn't mean you are allowed to fight amongst yourselves.'

The Seven Heroes and all the Leaders heard a voice in their heads and their expressions changed.

'Continue the Event.'

The Voice ordered. 2

Orpheus glanced at Esme and nodded.

Esme took her cue, then, she stepped forward and,

"Not that was what we call an amazing battle! I do not know about you guys, but these two participants were the strongest Great Sages I have ever seen, it was so blinding that I feel embarrassed when I think that I am a Great Sage as well, hahaha~

Anyways, I highly doubt there is anyone who would like to challenge the Groom after this, so rather than wasting time by calling all the registered challengers one by one,

Let me end this with one question,

Is there anyone who wishes to challenge Nux Leander?"
