The Bored Immortal

"Hey, if you can teleport us, how far can you make us go?" Viktor hurriedly asked Nyissa while fighting off the Ranars.

Nyissa wondered why he was asking such details but answered, "In our present situation, about fifty miles at best."

Viktor was astonished that she could teleport them all by fifty miles which would be more than enough for Little ghost's instruction.

"Okay, then quickly teleport us to any location 40 miles east from here! Damn these fuckers!" Viktor was finding it hard to hold off these resentful creatures since they knew no fear and were simply trying to jump on him as if trying to eat him apart.

If not for the fact that they turn to dust just as he kills them, he would have been buried by their corpses, especially since he didn't have the room to move much and was conserving his energy to not use his abilities to force his way through.

Nyissa was already planning to teleport them all to someplace else, which was as far from here as possible since she could see that holding off these thousands of Ranars would come at a great cost which she wasn't willing to take needlessly.

So even though she had no idea why Viktor told her such a specific instruction, she decided to put it into action anyway by instructing Ayana and her friends, "Quickly, layout the teleportation circle."

Ayana and her friends nodded as they stopped attacking the frenzied Ranars and quickly took out some black powder in their hands before sprinkling them on the ground to form a circle.

It took a minute for them to create an outline of a large circle with the powder, and after that, they began to chant something as they touched the black powder on the ground.

The black powder magically began to turn into a liquid that began to mystically glow, and Nyissa stopped attacking as well as she raised her hand and let a black beam of energy shoot out from her palm and towards the black liquid, which made it glow way brighter till it even started to discomfort the nearby Ranars as they steered away from the circle.

She then closed her eyes and opened them again after a few moments as the huge black raven from before manifested in thin air and rushed towards Viktor while setting flame to all the Ranars in its wake, turning them to dust.

"Quick! Come over here! I will hold them off!" Nyissa called out towards Viktor, who took a look in her direction.

Viktor saw the huge bird coming his way, and if it weren't for the fact that Nyissa called out a warning, he would have thought she was trying to burn him.

He could feel the searing heat from the mystic raven and saw how it was distracting the Ranars away from him, making a path for him to run towards Nyissa.

His clothes were completely bloodied because of the number of injuries he had sustained before but had already healed by now.

He was also confused why the Ranars he was trying to kill were not dying anymore as they began to regenerate their heads, making him wonder what was wrong with the dagger.

He still saw how there were too many Ranars crowded before him, and the blazing raven could only hold some of them off at a time and not all.

So he used his reserve energy to teleport ahead a few times till he reached before Nyissa, who was glad that he made it out quick since she knew that the longer they stayed here, the more Ranars would rush towards here.

Viktor got into the teleportation circle along with her while her blazing bird kept the Ranars at bay, preventing them from rushing towards him and the others.

Once everyone was inside the black circle, Nyissa raised her spear and struck the ground as a sudden blacklight enveloped all of them, and within a moment, they all disappeared magically.

*HRAARRR!!*

All the Ranars let out a vengeful roar upon seeing them disappear, especially Viktor, and continued to roar like frenzied demons.

Forty miles towards the east, a black light flashed in the midst of a broken-down town. And from the blacklight emerged Viktor, Nyissa, Ayana, and the other three.

"Phew...finally...we got away from that shithole," Viktor mumbled as he turned around to see Ayana and her friends immediately kneeling on the ground to rest while Nyissa was still standing upright like a proud swan. Still, a bead of sweat trickled down her forehead.

Nyissa was busy surveying the place and let out a low sigh of relief upon sensing no presence of Ranars or anyone else.

Viktor looked around and saw that it was a familiar town he had once been in all those years ago, though all the stone buildings were in a ruined fashion and the pavements were cracked with a rotten smell pervading the entire place though not as bad as the place he first landed upon.

He truly felt as if he went back in time to the long-gone past though this seemed more like a nightmare that came into reality since the original place was very bright and beautiful, with lots of people walking through this very market street while the stone buildings looked neat with various decorations adorning them.

"What is this place?" Ayana mumbled as she slowly got up, feeling a bit creeped out because of how gloomy and ominous the place looked.

"Just an old market street, I suppose. And you...tell me how did you know to come here or what made you think that this place was safe?" Nyissa asked Viktor skeptically as she looked at him while others also looked at him for the answer.

Viktor chuckled as he casually said, "It was just a nick of time guess since I was getting swarmed by those hideous things and isn't going somewhere far away from there, the smart move?"

Viktor didn't want to tell them about Little Ghost since he knew she was afraid of being found out by these people who supposedly were obsessed with hunting evil spirits. So even if he told them that Little Ghost was not an evil spirit, why would they believe him when this place only breeds evil ones.

Ayana and the others nodded as if what he said made sense, but Nyissa's expression didn't change one bit.

"You are hiding something...why?" Nyissa asked as she maintained her gaze.

Ayana and her friends were surprised why their mistress was saying something like that when they didn't notice anything.

Viktor inwardly sighed, seeing that this woman was too perceptive about things, and now he understood why she was seen as a leader figure in her own clan.

Still, he asked with a calm smile, "What makes you say that?"

Nyissa raised her chin and said in a doubtful tone, "Those Ranars back there...they didn't even pay us a single glance once they saw you. It was as if they had found their mortal enemy. And in case you didn't know, evil spirits always retain a part of their strongest memories or emotions subconsciously, and this could obviously include someone they hated to the bones before they died. But for all of them to behave the same and direct their resentment towards you is quite ridiculous unless there is one other explanation."

Ayana raised her brows, wondering where her Master was going with this, and now she also realized that the Ranars were behaving quite strangely even if she and the others were attacking them.

Viktor shrugged and said casually, "Maybe it's because I am the most powerful one among you. So maybe they wanted to go after the strongest soul or something."

"Hmph," Ayana snorted, seeing how Viktor was shamelessly proclaiming himself as the strongest and that too before her powerful Master.

Even her friends shook their heads, seeing how this guy could say something like that with a straight face. Still, inwardly they admired his strength and powers and felt that he did have the right to say something like that.

Nyissa didn't pay any mind to what he said, "You can choose not to say, but that doesn't mean that you can hide it from me. And the reason we are even in this place could all be because of you if what I am thinking is right. Otherwise, the Wailing Hills, which had remained relatively peaceful for all these years, has no reason to suddenly act up like this, especially the evil spirits. We had them in control, and this was the first time they were going out of control."

Ayana and the others also had this fact in their mind since they had never been into this place before, nor had they experienced such ominous signs in the Wailing Hills.

"Alright...what are you trying to say?" Viktor felt that there was no point in trying to fool her.

Nyissa narrowed her eyes and said, "I think you are General Raoul, the Blood Demon who massacred all 500,000 men during the Battle of the Frozen Lakes, and now....they turned into those evil things to seek your blood."
