The Bored Immortal-Novel

"An Elder vampire. They are the only ones rumored to possess such terrifying powers and strength, especially because of how old they are, said to exist for more than 10,000 years at least. But even though they exist, they rarely show their face outside, and from our clan, only the patriarch had ever seen them. Not even I came upon an Elder vampire before," Nyissa said as her gaze continued to linger on the man covered in blazing cursed flames, seeing the two tornadoes slowly receding and becoming smaller.

"An Elder Vampire?" Ayana was astonished since she had heard rumors of their powerful feats and how offending one of them was no different than a death sentence.

It was said that Elder Vampires had the capabilities to wipe out entire towns without breaking a sweat, and this made her gulp, wondering if Viktor would wipe them out as well for revenge.

Still, she was confused since Viktor himself told her that he was only above a thousand years old. But then her eyes gained some clarity when she remembered him saying that physically he didn't have any idea how old he was, which only puzzled her even more.

She saw Viktor making those two blazing black tornadoes recede in size and mumbled, "But how is he able to control flames, especially our cursed flames?"

Nyissa still had a dumbfounded expression as she slightly shook her head, "I....I don't know...I don't understand how...There has never been any vampire in history who had the ability to control flames since fire is their natural enemy."

Because of how everyone was so shocked, they even forgot that they were supposed to run away the moment they got a chance.

It was only when the tornadoes disappeared, and Viktor turned towards them, did they come out of their stupor, feeling his gaze that was as heavy as a mountain.

"V-Viktor…" Ayana mumbled with quivering lips, although inwardly, she was glad that Viktor easily took care of that army of Ranars though now their situation wasn't looking much good either.

After seeing how easily he disintegrated those Ranars, Ayana and her friends were having their whole bodies go cold in fear since if before they were ready to face Viktor then now they couldn't muster any battle intent since they realized how vain their efforts would be against a monstrous vampire like that.

"Go, Ayana! This is not someone you all can fight just to die in vain," Nyissa said in a firm tone as she took a battle stance seeing Viktor approaching them again with casual steps, not too slow nor too fast.

Ayana knew this as well and asked in a feeble voice, "W-What about you, Master?" She liked her Master very much and didn't want to abandon her as well.

Since Ayana's parents died an early death, Nyissa was more than just her Master. She was like an elder sister to her as well, teaching her a lot of things and guiding her from when she was just a small child.

"I can probably hold him off for a while to let you all escape. After that, I will get away from here. Don't worry about your Master. It's time I faced someone strong...to see where I stand," Nyissa said in a determined tone.

Ayana looked at her friends and then nodded with a bitter expression as they all reluctantly left, making Nyissa let out a sigh in relief.

She then looked at Viktor, whose expression was totally emotionless, as if he was looking at someone insignificant being, though his glowing blood-red eyes seemed as hot as the lava of hell.

"Viktor...is this the real you?" Nyissa asked with a complicated expression since she felt that the man she interacted with before fighting him was a totally different person.

She now wondered if she set something off in him by fighting him and made a very bad mistake.

The fact that he wasn't acting casual, funny, or teasing her and simply looking at her with a cold-blooded expression was what unsettled her.

She remembered his words about how he was no longer the man he was before in the past and felt that because of her own emotional thoughts, she considered his words as a lie and also because of her blind belief about her clan's duty.

She wondered if she set off a calamity by bringing out the true Blood Demon and if this was how General Raoul was like back in the past.

"Why aren't you saying anything? And here I thought you had a big mouth…" Nyissa said with knitted brows, and before she knew it, she was already wishing for him to go back to how he was before since she wasn't confident of defeating someone as strong as him, especially when her cursed flames wouldn't affect him.

Otherwise, she would have still been a lot more confident, even if she was really facing an Elder Vampire.

Ayana and her friends didn't leave but hid behind one of the stone buildings a few dozen meters away to see how their Master was faring since they didn't have the heart to leave her, nor was there any point in running away since they would still be stuck in this hell.

"Will Young Mistress be a-alright?" One of Ayana's friends asked from behind, to which she could only give her a worried look before saying in a low voice, "If the patriarch was here, then maybe...we would have better chances."

Nyissa activated her Odic Vision just as Viktor got close and lunged forward to attack him, trying to take advantage of the fact that he didn't have any weapon though she had to look out for his cursed flames, having no idea how he would use it against her.

However, one baffling thought appeared in her mind, 'Is he getting stronger every second?'

Viktor's expression didn't change, and he easily dodged her attack as if he already saw it coming.

Nyissa didn't give up but tried to land attacks on him from different angles, but each time Viktor was casually evading them without even teleporting.

Nyissa frowned, wondering how he suddenly got so better at dodging her attacks when previously he did know how to dodge but for some of her attacks, there was no choice but to meet her spear with his sword.

But now, it seemed like he wasn't even putting in his full concentration while evading her attacks.

She decided to make a quick stabbing motion at him, but Viktor caught her spear this time, making her unable to stab him.

His grip was as strong as iron, making her unable to wrest her spear from his hand.

"Ngh!" Nyissa grunted as she tried to use her strength to the fullest to free her spear from his grip, only to realize how futile it was.

Viktor pulled the spear forward, making her stumble towards him, and brought forward his arm to punch her stomach.

His punch created shockwaves that rippled through the air, decimating some of the already broken down stone buildings near them.

"Argh!" Nyissa's eyes widened as she felt as if his punch knocked all the wind out of her body, making her unable to breathe while she was sent flying towards one of the stone buildings with blood spewing out of her mouth.

"Master!" Ayana worriedly called out but decided to stay put since she knew if she rushed over there, then her Master would definitely try to protect her as well, which could lead to more distraction.

But this only made it even harder to hold back her urge to check up on her Master and see if she was alright since this was the first time she was seeing her Master getting beaten one-sided like this.

Viktor continued to walk towards the building where Nyissa crashed into, only to see her stumbling out with blood dripping from her mouth, making her state look quite pitiful.

Nyissa gritted her teeth and clenched her fists as she raised her spear while a mystic black essence began to cover it.

"Hya!" With a desperate shout, she hurled the spear towards Viktor, which shot towards him faster than a bullet though he didn't bother moving from his place.

Nyissa eagerly looked on as she saw how Viktor wasn't bothering to move, and the blade of her spear found its mark as it struck against Viktor's chest.

But...

*TWANG!*

The sound of metal hitting against something akin to iron echoed as her spear ricocheted after hitting Viktor's chest without leaving a single scratch on his skin.

But before her spear was about to ricochet elsewhere, Viktor caught it and casually hurled it right back at Nyissa, making her expression filled with despair.

She hurriedly poured all her energy to create a quick black ethereal shield in front of her to stop the spear.

However, the spear broke right through her shield like paper though she was able to slow down its momentum. But...

"Agh!" Nyissa grimaced in pain as the spear pierced her body, near to the left side of her stomach, which she removed before throwing it away in her angst. But a gush of blood was escaping from her wound, making her condition look quite bad.

"How…" Nyissa mumbled with quivering eyes seeing how her strongest physical attack did nothing to him, especially when he took it head-on. Instead, her attack backfired, and he used her own spear against her.

Viktor's expression still remained cold as his cold-blooded crimson eyes without any change as he continued to walk towards her, his eyes seemingly thirsting for her blood, making Nyissa feel as if she picked a fight with the wrong demon.
