1289 The Dawnshade House.
"Whoa…"
Nux exhaled in surprise as she stood in front of an imposing mansion.
Now Nux wasn't a clueless child, he had seen his fair share of Grandeur, especially the Vampires, when it came to showing off their wealth, the Bloodsuckers didn't hesitate and their King stood at a level higher.
The Vampire King's castle was one of the Grandest, if not the Grandest Castles Nux had seen in his life, just like the Vampires, the Dragons didn't hesitate when it came to showing off their wealth.
The Dragon Lord's castle, although not on the level of the Vampire's, was still unnecessarily grand, and Nux, who had pretty much visited every major power in Yrniel, had seen it all.
But even then, the sight in front of him was hard to believe.
The sheer size of the mansion in front of him left him speechless. Its impressive structure loomed over him, the walls decorated with elaborate pillars and excellently crafted balconies that hinted at the sheer wealth of its owner. The well-maintained gardens that spread all over the place, decorated with vibrant flowers and majestic old trees only added to the overall aura of majesty.
Nux couldn't help but compare the Mansion in front of him with the Vampire King's Castle, and surprisingly, the Mansion didn't fade out.
It was a sight that exceeded mere wealth; it was a display of Power.
Power that the Dawnshades didn't hesitate to display.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Dawnshades were the part of the Beastmen, similar to other Beastmen, they ruled over a City, the Head of the Dawnshades is the City Lord of the city Nux was currently in, City of Miracles.
However, unlike other Beastmen Cities, this place wasn't majorly dominated by Foxkins, it was like an entirely different kingdom in itself with all sorts of races, be it humans, elves, dragons, vampires, demons, dwarves, and other beastmen living together in harmony.
It was as if the City was a small Yrniel in itself. Honestly, Nux couldn't even begin to fathom just how the Dawnshade was managing such a City.
It was a place that could very much become the center of Chaos and Destruction.
At the same time, Nux also couldn't believe how a place like this wasn't well known throughout the Yrniel.
The natives of Yrniel knew about the Dawnshade House and the City of Miracles, but not many knew about just how different this place is compared to the rest of the Beastmen Cities.
'Welp, I guess it is time to meet my friend.'
Nux chuckled inwardly as he then activated his Essence and hid his presence.
He walked through the guards standing in front of the Gates and entered the Dawnshade Mansion, obviously, the guards who were merely Semi Saints couldn't possibly sense his presence.
Nux walked around, expanding his senses as much as he could and even though he had just started, he could already sense a Divine Stage Cultivator's presence.
What was shocking was that he hadn't even entered the main Mansion yet, he was still walking through the path that was surrounded by vast gardens.
As Nux continued to walk, his expression got solemn.
He had come prepared, all Dragon Slaves were at his disposal, even Arcturus was here if something went wrong here, he could call the Slaves and deal with it.
Honestly, with the manpower he had, there weren't many places in Yrniel that he couldn't visit.
Even the Vampire King's Castle was no exception. If Nux wanted, he could very much make a mess out of that place to the point where it would take centuries to restore it to its former glory.
Nux firmly believed that as long as he was in Yrniel, he could do whatever he wanted and still come out unhurt, However…
He was wrong.
The Dawnshades proved him wrong.
In terms of appearance, the Dawnshade House was similar to the Vampire King's and Dragon Lord's Castle, however… when it came to security… It far surpassed the two.
For normal people, other than being extravagantly grand, they wouldn't find anything wrong with the place, there were only some gardeners that were working on the gardens and other servants walking around the place, Nux however, could sense already sense 30 Divine Stage Cultivators. Their presence was faint, Nux couldn't see their body type, race, gender, or their appearance, he only knew those people existed.
And the only way he could tell that was because Essence was reacting differently around that particular area.
It was reacting as it reacted around a Divine Stage Cultivator.
That meant… that if it wasn't for Essence, Nux wouldn't even know anyone was there, and since no one else other than him had Essence, no other person could sense these Divine Stage Cultivators that were hiding all over the place.
Mind you, Nux still hadn't entered the main building yet.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm What was even worse was that he couldn't sense what was inside there, every time he tried to look in, his senses were cut off.Obviously, some sort of artifact was preventing any sort of probing, and since the artifact was working on Nux even when he was using Essence, guessing its strength wasn't difficult.
Honestly, Nux dreaded what was inside the Mansion when there were already 30 Divine Stage Cultivators who were outside, acting as mere guards.
With a solemn look on his face, Nux turned into his Shadow Form, passed through the closed doors, and entered the mansion… or a dark place where nothing was visible.
Nux frowned in confusion.
'Do they not have lights or something?' he couldn't help but wonder.
Everything around was pitch black. He couldn't even see his own body, [Sense] was working so he could still stand around without hitting different things, but the absence of light did creep him out a little.
"You shouldn't sneak into someone else's house, you know? That is quite disrespectful."
"!!!"
Nux widened his eyes in horror.
His worst fears came true, his presence was revealed. Not only that,
"Hmm?" The unknown voice suddenly frowned, then, it finally realized and praised,
"You are quite cautious, it is a good thing.
Your cloning ability is quite envious."
