*Knock* *Knock*
"Who is it?"
"It is me, Nux Leander, Lord Orpheus."
Nux replied with a respectful look on his face.
"Hm? Nux? Enter."
Orpheus ordered and Nux walked in.
"I heard the Hunt was successful and you got what you wanted."
Orpheus spoke.
"I got more than I wanted, Lord Orpheus. Lady Ambrosia was unreal, everything went exactly as she predicted. I have never seen a more one-sided battle than this.
And we took down Two 12 Star Beasts as well."
Nux replied, still in awe.
"Well, it is Ambrosia, so I am not surprised." Orpheus nodded with a smile on his face, then, his expression changed and he glanced at Nux,
"But I am sure you are not here to tell me how amazing my wife is, correct?"
"That is correct,
I am here because I need your help."
"Huh? My help? Are you calling in another favor?"
Orpheus questioned.
"That is not it,
I am here because I want to ask something, and I cannot think of anyone else who can answer my question."
"Not many people have the option of going to a Divine Stage Cultivator when they are confused."
Orpheus commented.
"Personal connections are important, I agree." Nux nodded.
Hearing his response, a smile appeared on Orpehus's face as he nodded with a satisfied look on his face,
"What do you wish to ask?"
"How did I defeat Melia?"
Nux questioned.
"Huh? What kind of strange question is that?" Orpheus questioned back, however, from that light smile on his face, Nux realized that he wasn't as surprised by his question as he showed.
It was as if he expected something like this.
"I have been observing her in the Wilderness for 2 months and I can only destroy her as a Slaughter Machine.
The number of beasts she hunted down was too high to even keep a count.
She, as a Great Sage Cultivator, fought against numerous 9 Star Beasts, alone, and still came out with only a few scratches.
This was simply absurd…
Her Aura was completely different compared to what it was when she fought me.
I know she held back that time, but that wasn't a change a simple limiting one's Cultivation could explain.
How was someone like her defeated by me that easily?"
Nux questioned.
"That easily? You were in bed for a long time after the battle ended, child."
Orpheus smiled.
"That is not what I am asking."
Nux's reply was quick.
"It was a Duel, not a Battle."
Orpheus answered.
"…"
Nux turned silent, waiting for Orpheus to explain what he just said.
"You didn't use Mist because you didn't wish to harm Melia, correct?"
"Yes."
"Melia was the same,
She couldn't use her full strength against you because she couldn't hurt you.
Melia is a child who looks up to her brother.
She may not show it, but she often compares herself to her brother, she often has duels with people stronger than her, she is used to throwing whatever she has in a fight. So most of her moves aim for her opponent's lives.
However, in front of you, she had to hold back, not only her Cultivation, but most of her moves were restricted as well.
She is inexperienced when it comes to fighting an opponent without giving her all.
Her opponents are either too strong to even take her best and still come out fine, like her brother, or too weak for her to not use most of her strength and still win, like her subordinates.
