"Astaria…

Hear me out…"

Nux called out with a nervous smile on his face.

"…"

Astaria didn't say anything and just glanced at Nux. Nux took this as his cue and started,

"You are a hurdle in my way."

Astaria narrowed her eyes.

"As a warrior, I wish to overpower you, defeat you, and leave you behind. Just like I have done it before, starting from a mortal to Beginner Stage Cultivators, then Advance, Masters, Grand Masters, Experts, Kings, and then the Emperors, I have defeated them all.

And I do not wish to stop here.

The main continent.

Yrniel.

I wish to do the same there as well.

However, you are different from other 'hurdles' I have encountered or will encounter in the future.

You are someone I wish to obtain. I want to carry you with me when I encounter future hurdles.

You are someone precious to me, you are someone I cannot leave behind.

Look, I am not some great warrior like you who has an unextinguishable flame inside her, wishing to reach the peak.

I am just a normal man, who wants to live a long, happy life with my family, and in this world, where the strong rules, I have to keep defeating everyone, I have to keep destroying all the hurdles, the Sage Stage, the Great Sage, and the stages after that, I have to surpass them all.

I need to reach the peak as well, however, the force driving me is different.

I wish to reach the peak together with the people I love,

And that includes you.

And since I plan to take you the peak with me,

I cannot do something that would harm you."

Nux's expression turned serious, he looked into Astaria's eyes and,
