Chapter 55: Digging your own grave.
"I will start training Victor from today~."
Suddenly Scathach disappears and appears in front of Victor.
"Not that again!" Victor instinctively jumped back.
"You're still too slow to avoid me~" Scathach appeared behind him and lightly attacked his neck, but a small block of ice stopped her hand on Victor's neck.
Victor covers his body in lightning and kicks Scathach towards her face; every time he made these moves, he had a big smile on his face:
"Oh? You have good instincts, I like it~" She grabs Victor's leg, the lightning striking the ground was heard all around, and even the pressure of the wind made a hole in the wall behind Scathach; it just shows how much force Victor put in his attack.
"But it's still not enough," She decided to put on more strength, she squeezed Victor's foot tighter and pulled towards her.
Crack!
Victor grits his teeth and tries not to react to his foot being broken by Scathach's grip.
He placed an ice shield on his stomach, but this time, Scathach easily passed through the ice as he felt the punch connect with his stomach.
"Cough"
Realizing he was losing consciousness, he quickly bit down on his tongue; as soon as he felt his consciousness return, he quickly kicked the ground and backed away from Scathach.
"Hahahaha," Scathach started laughing when he saw Victor's reaction, she seemed to be enjoying herself, she lets go of Victor's leg and allows him to step away.
"Darling!?"
"Husband!?"
Victor raises his hands to his wives in a Stop gesture, and he looks at Scathach with a big bloody grin on his face:
"You don't have to do this to try to get me to go with you; I'll gladly follow you. I told you, right? I won't run away from you~."
Scathach's body visibly trembled, her cheeks turned a little red, and her smile grew, "Good, Good! That's the spirit I want! follow me."
As soon as she disappeared, Victor used his eyes and continued to keep his senses focused on Scathach, and he said without turning around: "I'll train."
"…" Lacus, Siena, and Ruby are just speechless. As Scathach alumni, they know it's not easy to do what Victor has done now.
He suddenly turned to Sasha, "Don't do anything reckless, okay?"
"I won't, don't worry, husband," Sasha said with a small smile.
"You too, Violet."
"Huh? But I never do anything reckless!" Violet felt a little sad to be parted from Victor.
"…" Everyone in the room rolled their eyes.
Victor walked up to Ruby, and he patted her head, "Take care of them, okay? I trust you."
"Mm"
Victor displays a gentle smile, then he disappears.
"…" The three wives clenched their fists tightly.
"… Fue? Where is Kaguya?" Pepper asked as she looked around, she was sure Kaguya was beside Maria, but suddenly Kaguya disappeared, and as a maid wouldn't leave without the master's permission, she thought it was weird.
"..." The three wives were speechless, but soon they exhibited a small smile:
"As expected of her," They spoke in unison.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Pepper asked.
"Nothing," The three spoke in unison.
"…" A moment of silence descends into the room, then Violet opens her mouth:
"I'll go back home..."
"Heh?" Ruby and Sasha were surprised.
"What's it?" Violet was upset.
"Nothing, it's just a surprise you want to part with Victor," Ruby commented.
"Indeed. I thought you were going to scream in rage or something," Sasha added.
"Believe me; I don't want to part with him... And I'm really angry too!" Violet's eyes went completely dark, "...But as long as that old witch is with Victor, I probably can't find him... Somehow, I'm jealous of Kaguya now, she can be with Darling all the time as if she were his shadow."
"..." Ruby and Sasha nodded in agreement with Violet's words.
"I'm going back home, and I'm going to train, I feel my power steadily increasing, and I don't have the confidence to control it like before."
"..." Siena, Lacus, and Pepper were a little surprised when they heard what Violet said. They know that for vampires to get stronger, they have to get older or train to learn new techniques and incorporate them into their fighting style. However, Violet just said that her power was steadily growing; that's theoretically impossible for vampires.
Violet's powers shouldn't have a power-boosting spurt until she's 500 years old!
"Oh, now that you mention it, I felt it in me too, but I ignored it because I can control it perfectly," Ruby said.
"..." Sasha looks at Ruby with a neutral expression, "That's because you're a small monster trained by an even bigger monster."
Ruby was a little annoyed, "... How rude to call me a monster."
"But that's what you are; you've been trained by Scathach since you were little. You're a little monster." Sasha smiled.
"..." Ruby turns to face Violet and ignores Sasha:
"How are you going to get home? We are in the North, you know? It's a long trip to the southern territory, which is where you live."
"I will run with the power of my fire; I can boost myself to get back faster," Violet spoke.
"This is stupid... That is just a waste of energy." Ruby said, "Why don't you use an airplane or something? it's easier."
"It's too slow."
"..." Ruby couldn't deny it's slow, but it's better than wasting energy.
"Why don't you call that maid? Speaking of the devil, where is she?" Sasha looked around but couldn't find Natalia.
"Hmm, she said she's on vacation until Violet goes back to the human world," Luna said.
"…Explain." Ruby looked at Violet.That maid's contract is only for life in the human world; that's all I can say," Violet spoke neutrally.
"Sigh, what is your family thinking of getting involved with that Clan?" Ruby sighed.
"Although my mother is a narcissistic bitch, she still has a good head on her shoulders, she got a deal with the king to employ someone from that Clan as a Maid."
"... Why did she risk so much?" Sasha asked.
"She wanted to shop in the human world easier."
"..." Sasha looked at Violet sympathetically, she put her hand on her shoulder, "It's hard to have a mother like that, right?"
"Yes…" Violet sighed.
"…" Ruby didn't say anything. Despite Scathach being the way she is, she was still a good mother… At the limit of the possible, of course. She was strict, kind, and never let her crazy things affect her daughters, she was also very overprotective of her daughters.
And she was always there when her daughters needed her.
Overall, Ruby had nothing to complain about her mom, she just had trouble getting close to her mom, she always seemed so far away... Because of that, she feels a little envious of Victor, who managed to bond with Scathach very easily.
And that's a thought that is shared by all three of Ruby's sisters...
"What are you two going to do?" Siena asked Ruby and Sasha, and then she got up from the table along with Lacus and Pepper.
"I'll train too, although I don't think I need it; it's always good to go over the basics," Ruby said.
"Me too, unlike these two freaks, I'm not a genius," Sasha said.
Ruby and Violet rolled their eyes.
'train and use the Count Vampire Transformation even for a little while. If that's not being a genius, I wonder what is' Ruby thought.
Not even Ruby could access the Count Vampire form yet, and Sasha and Violet could already do that.
Although different from the two women, Ruby had two elements that were essentially the same element. Ruby's ice and water were much more challenging to train than Sasha's lightning bolt and Violet's fire.
"And you two?" Siena asked Pepper and Lacus.
"I'm going to watch anime; I saw that a new season was out." Pepper chuckled silly.
"!!!" Ruby reacted to Pepper's words, "Tell me a little more about this," She said.
"Of course!"
"..." Siena sighed and looked at her middle sister:
"I'll go to sleep~" She smiled, then she disappeared.
"Well, I'll go back to my job. I predict my mom will be confined for six months with that man..." Siena smirked, then she spoke in a shocked voice, "Wait, this isn't a bad thing for you guys? After all, you saw what happened, right? I wonder what will happen if my mom is alone with that one for six months~."
"!!!" The eyes of the three wives began to glow, and a suffocating pressure began to leave their bodies.
"Hiiii!" Pepper, who was close to Ruby, quickly fled and got behind her older sister.
"Forget what I said; I'll get my Darling!" Violet quickly changed her mind.
"Indeed," Ruby said in a cold tone.
"It's dangerous to leave that woman alone with Victor," The three look at each other and then nod to themselves; then they disappear, leaving traces of their respective powers.
"HAHAHAHA," Siena laughed, she finally got a little revenge, she was also very petty like Victor.
"Big Sister…" Pepper whispered.
"Hmm?" She looked at Pepper.
"Our mom isn't going to like this, and if she finds out it was you who came up with the idea... Well." Pepper couldn't finish the sentence, she just looked sad.
"Oh Fuck," Siena's face darkened, she felt that every time she tried to provoke Victor, she was digging her own grave.
as she held her trembling arms.
Chapter 56: I can't contain myself anymore~.
Inside a coliseum, Victor and Scathach were in the center of the arena looking at each other; at some point, as Victor ran after Scathach, the red-haired woman disappeared in front of him and came back wearing a tight-fitting outfit that clung perfectly to her body.
The outfit was black with golden and red details. At first, glance it looked like a tight full-length bodysuit, but looking closer, he realized it was something like a battle suit.
To be honest with himself, Victor was having a hard time looking at Scathach; that voluptuous body was just too unfair. And, since she looked like a more mature version of Ruby, who was his wife, the temptation was much greater.
But despite being feeling it, he kept a poker face with a slight smile on his face; he didn't want to be rude. His mother always said not to stare at women's bodies too much; after all, they felt the eyes of men.
He still remembers her words, "Look once, observe, appreciate, and commit the image to memory, don't be staring at the woman like a weirdo!"
Scathach flashes a small smile when she sees Victor's gaze, and her smile grows even wider when he keeps a poker face and doesn't stare at her body like a dog in heat.
She nods contentedly; like a woman who considers herself old-fashioned, she quite appreciated Victor's attitude.
"First of all, we should start training your resistance to pain." A small ice stake appears in front of Scathach, "Don't dodge. You can take it easily, right?" She said.
Soon she throws the stake into Victor's heart. Realizing the stake will pierce his heart, Victor grits his teeth and doesn't move.
Soon the ice stake pierced his heart, and he felt pain throughout his body, he felt like screaming, but he gritted his teeth harder and resisted.
"Good~" Scathach complimented, "As expected, you didn't disappoint me."
Victor takes the ice stake that pierced his heart and pulls the stake out, his body was shaking, and it was visible that he was hurting, but he didn't scream. Something inside him wouldn't allow it; he'd rather die than demonstrate a pathetic action like screaming and acting like a little girl.
"Heh~"
Victor throws the stake into the ground.
Scathach nodded in satisfaction once more as she began to explain, "The vampire is a physically weak breed compared to werewolves, but in compensation, we have regeneration that is far superior to that of wolves, and, in combat, we get hurt a lot. Because of that, we must train resistance to pain."
As she was satisfied with Victor's previous action, she demonstrated with actions what she meant.
Scathach shows her right hand, then her hand hardens and becomes sharp, she extends her left arm and suddenly cuts it!
Blood fell to the ground, and yet the smile never left Scathach's face, and she never stopped looking at Victor.
Her arm fell to the ground, and in less than a few seconds, her arm disappeared from the ground, and appeared in her hand again. In less than 1 second her arm has completely regenerated!
"!!!" Victor was surprised by this demonstration, he touched his heart, and at some point, he could feel that his heart had already healed.
"See? In time you will be able to do this."
"Pain resistance, that's what we're going to train first. And that skill is the most important for our fighting style."
"Okay," Victor spoke in a neutral tone as he began to undress.
"Oh? Aren't you going to ask why we shouldn't train with weapons, or powers, etc.?" She spoke of the complaints her students always made.
He stops undressing and looks at her; he replied in a neutral tone, "You are the master here; I just have to follow what you order me to do."
"…" She didn't expect this answer.
"And..." He smiled a little, "I trust you; I know you won't make me do something useless. After all, just like me, you want me to get stronger quickly, right?" When he finished speaking, he started to undress again.
"!!!" Scathach's smile slowly grew distorted, her eyes were glowing blood red, and her teeth changed and sharpened, and an immense pressure of murderous intent left her body.The birds around the coliseum started to flee in fear; they feared for their life, they could feel that a predator had arrived, and this feeling was felt by all the animals that were around.
Victor's shadow began to shake violently, and soon the shadow seemed to leave his body and fled out of the coliseum.
"Ah~, as expected, I can't contain myself anymore~" She put both hands on her face, her cheeks turned red, and her breathing became ragged. She loved the answer he gave her!
"I don't want anyone in the way…" Her killing intent grew bigger and formed a dome around the coliseum:
"For six months, I will cut this diamond any way I want." Somehow she felt her private parts a little wet.
"W-What is this?" Violet fell to the ground while breathing quickly, she was very terrified.
"T-This is M-Mother…" Ruby was leaning against the tree as she stared at the coliseum that had turned into a dome of murderous intent.
"W-What happened? Is she angry?" Sasha asked as she held her trembling arms.
"L-let's step back a bit."
"Y-Yeah," Sasha nods and then leaves the coliseum area.
Seeing that Violet was unable to move, she seemed more affected since she was closer to the coliseum when the explosion of murderous intent took place.
"Sasha," Ruby said.
Sasha turns and looks at Violet, she bites her lip, resists her fear, and covers her body in lightning, then she appears beside Violet. "Let's go."
"Y-Yes" Violet didn't refuse, she was too numb, she had never felt this feeling before in her life; 'Was I teasing this monster all along?'
Only now did she understand why Scathach was called the strongest female vampire in the world.
…
At a considerable distance from the Coliseum, the three wives were on top of a mountain.
"What in the seven hells is this?" Sasha asked, she was looking at a black dome, she could feel all the negative feelings in that dome; instinctively, she knew that if she approached that place, she would be killed.
"That's my mother's killing intent …" Ruby commented in disbelief, she had seen her mother's killing intent before, but it was nothing like what she saw now.
"Just how many beings has she killed…? Sasha can't help but ask, "Just how many? How many lives do you have to take to have such frightening pressure?"
"I don't know, but she participated in all the wars she found interesting. With just those wars, you can imagine the huge number of beings she killed," Ruby added.
Suddenly Violet's shadow begins to tremble, and then it leaves the ground as Kaguya coughs.
"Kaguya!?" The three women spoke.
"What happened?" Violet asked.
"I got kicked out; I couldn't stand it. I felt like I would die if I stayed in that place... I'm sorry, Lady Violet."
"And Darling!? What happened to him!?" Violet started to shake Kaguya, who was trying to recover.
"Calm down, Violet," Sasha spoke, she took Violet's hands.
Violet glared at Sasha:
"My mom won't kill Victor. Remember she took him to that place to train, she probably doesn't want to be interrupted." Ruby added.
"..." Violet sighs, and she says, "I'm sorry, Kaguya, can you tell us what happened to make Scathach act like that?"
"…" Ruby and Sasha were a little surprised that Violet could listen to them so easily.
Kaguya nods, and soon she starts to explain.
Some minutes later:
"So it's Darling's fault...?" Violet didn't know how to react.
"I don't think so," Ruby said; she was the one who understood a little more about Scathach.
"All her students always complained about her training; even I was like that. But Victor is different, and he seemed to be willing to accept whatever my mother threw at him; that must have been the trigger that made her act that way." Ruby finished the explanation.
"She was always obsessed with being stronger and training. And my husband is a lot like her." Sasha spoke.
Violet bites her lip, just thinking that Victor is going to be stuck with Scathach for six months; her body trembles with jealousy and rage!
"Don't think about it," Ruby warned her.
"Huh?" Violet didn't understand.
"I can read your superficial thoughts, have you forgotten?... But I don't even need to read your thoughts to understand what's going through your head right now. So again, I repeat, don't think about it, or jealousy will consume you."
"My mom isn't interested in relationships; she's just excited that she's found a potential disciple for her to train any way she wants.
"…" Violet bites her lip.
"...Are you 100% sure she's not interested in a relationship?" Sasha asked.
"…" Ruby was silent. Realizing that Ruby didn't respond, the two women became more concerned. Honestly, Ruby didn't know. Her mom never talked about it, and she never saw her mom get in touch with anyone either.
One time 14-year-old Ruby asked her mother that had received a marriage proposal from a Clan:
"Mother, why don't you get married and hook up with someone?" She asked her mother, who was on top of the wreckage of the Clan that the man who sent her the marriage proposal was from.
Scathach exhibited a face of disgust, "I'm not interested in trash; these men are just unworthy of my attention. They're just pigs to be slaughtered by me." the vampire's entire body is covered in ice until it becomes a statue.
Ruby looked at it with cold eyes and asked, "So which man is worthy of you?"
"I do not know."
"…" Ruby was speechless.
Scathach looked at her daughter and showed a small smile, "But I'll know when I meet this man in person; my instincts are always correct."
"Then I'll wait patiently for the day I have a father," Ruby said coldly, but her mother could see the sarcastic tone in her daughter's words.
"Kakakakaka, that day will probably never come. My standards are too high and almost impossible to meet," She laughed, then she jumped towards the street and started walking towards her mansion.
