Chapter 118: The consequences of actions. 2
Victor exhibited a sad smile, "I killed William, your father."
"!!!" Sasha's body visibly trembled.
"...I see...That's why the girls, and even my mom, were silent about it, they were waiting for you to tell me about it." She spoke in a monotone.
'Natashia too? Well, it's really nice of her to do that. Wait, in just a few days, she knows me pretty well?' Victor thought.
Victor just continued stroking Sasha's head in silence. He avoided thinking about nonsense as much as possible and just waited for Sasha's reaction.
Sigh...
Sasha visibly sighed and snuggled closer to Victor. She closed her eyes and enjoyed this peaceful moment of hers; 'I missed it.'
Despite trying to stay calm and not think about bullshit, Victor couldn't. Outwardly, he appeared to be neutral, and he had only a gentle smile on his face.
But internally? He was in chaos.
And Sasha could feel those feelings of his through their connection, just proving the point that he was very concerned about his wife's reaction.
Sasha exhibited a gentle smile and felt happy to have someone who cares so much about her. She liked that, she felt warm inside... She felt loved.
"Darling..." She spoke in a soft voice.
"Yes?"
"What would you do if Adonis hurt Violet?"
"I would kill him." Victor's response was instantaneous.
Sasha lifted her head slightly and looked into Victor's eyes that were dark as if they were lifeless.
"Darling... Killing isn't always the answer, Violet would be sad, you know?"
"Ugh..." Victor made an annoyed face. He remembered that when he and Violet got back from his Date, Violet seemed worried about her father.
"Hmm..." He started to think of an alternative other than killing the individual.
"I'd cut off his legs and arms, and I'd lock him up in an ice prison somewhere hidden. By doing that, he wouldn't die, and my wife could still see him if she wanted."
"..." Sasha looked at Victor as if she didn't believe what he said, but after thinking for a moment, she said:
"Actually, that is a good idea."
"Right?" Victor wore an innocent smile. It didn't even look like he was talking about a scary topic.
"Hahaha~, I don't know how it feels to know that I have such a scary and yet so kind husband." She laughed.
"No need to think too much, Honey." He said as he raised Sasha's chin.
Sasha looked into Victor's red eyes.
"Just be happy." He displayed a gentle smile that seemed to light up the entire room.
"...Oh." Sasha was surprised for a moment, but then she flashed a small smile, "Just be happy, huh?"
"Yes." Victor chuckled as he released her chin and pressed his forehead against Sasha's.
While he had his face inches away from Sasha's, he spoke in all his honesty:
"I'm sorry."
Sasha flashed a sneaky little smile, "Sorry about what?"
"I'm sorry I had to kill him."
"Do you regret it?"
"Never."
"Why?"
"Because he hurt one of the most important women in this world to me."
"Heh~, I wonder who this woman is... Actually, I wonder who these women are."
"Violet, Ruby, Sasha, Scathach, and my mother."
"Your mother Too? So are you going to practice incest?"
"Hahaha~, don't be silly. You know, right? I'm a mama's boy. I can't live without my piece of walking honesty that speaks all its mind."
"A Woman of great character."
"Indeed."
Sasha slowly brought the rest of herself closer to Victor, and when their lips touched, they kissed.
It was a gentle kiss, a kiss that conveyed all her love.
"...I love you, you know?" She spoke as she kissed him.
"I know." He replied between kisses.
"No. You do not understand." She stopped kissing him, looked at Victor, and slowly her eyes began to darken.
"I really love you, really, really, really. My love is so big that sometimes I feel like I'm being smothered by it."
"..." Victor's body shuddered. Then, his smile slowly began to grow, and his eyes darkened completely.
"Sometimes, I have strange thoughts."
"Oh? Tell me your thoughts."
Sasha caressed Victor's face, "I think; 'I want him just for me.', 'I should kill the other women.', 'I should kidnap him'. Sometimes I feel such hatred when other women look at you, especially that princess..."
"Ophis?"
"Yes, I don't like her. I don't like feeling this way about a child! Ugh. Sometimes I don't know what to do... Tell me, Darling. What should I do?"
"You mustn't do anything."
"Huh?"
"Just be yourself. I like it when you're jealous, I like it when you love me your way, and I like it when you protect me."
"…" Sasha was silent. And slowly, a feeling that had been growing since she'd first met Victor began to release.
"Ah~. Darling~. It's unfair, you know! If it goes on like this, I feel like I can never let you go~." Her cheeks were a little red.
"Hahaha, I wasn't planning on leaving."
"That's good, I feel if you disappeared, I would chase you through the seven hells if I had to."
"You wouldn't be the only one to do that."
"Indeed, Violet, Ruby, and Scathach would go along too."
"My master too?"
"Yeah." Sasha looked at Victor's reaction.
"Hmm, I think she would go along too. After all, she didn't finish my training."
"…" Sasha was silent, but inside she thought: 'My husband is strange, for some things he is extremely perceptive, but for others, he is as dense as a diamond… Although this applies to Scathach too .' Somehow she couldn't help but laugh amusedly.
"Hahahaha~"
"What?"
"It's nothing, I just think you're pretty cute at times."
"C-Cute?" Victor felt that he was suddenly deaf.
"Yeah~." Sasha laughed even harder when she saw Victor's reaction.
She rested her head against Victor's chest.
'Cute... Me? When? Where? How? Has my wife finally gotten crazier?' Victor's mind was in chaos.
"Darling...you know."
"Hmm?" Victor snapped out of his thoughts.
"I really don't care about my dad."
"..." Victor was silent.
Sasha closed her eyes and talked about the past, "The only memories I have of my father... Are the times he used to sleep in his room, or when he 'trained' me with my mother."
"He always had that lazy face. He always had that bored face. He looked more like a sloth than a vampire."
"He wasn't very memorable in my life."
"In a way, my mother was more present in my life than that man who was always sleeping. After all, despite appearing only to train me, she occasionally took me to a few places just the two of us together."
"..." Victor felt that man was very useless. If he had a daughter as cute as Sasha, he would always stick around her like a hawk.
"If you asked me; 'Who was your father in your life?'"
"I'd answer: He was just a man I saw occasionally, something like an acquaintance I saw from time to time."
Sasha was completely honest. She didn't have a lot of feelings for her father. That man named William was very cold to her and just treated his daughter like a tool.
He didn't care about her existence, and because of that, he never tried to get close to her since she was born.
"...well-." Victor was going to say; 'I'm glad I killed him then' but he was silent. That would just be disrespectful to Sasha. Even if that man meant nothing to Sasha, he was still the sperm donor that made it possible for a woman as amazing as Sasha to be born. He deserves at least a little bit of respect.
'William, you have my respect. I respect you just as I respect my elementary school teachers. After all, you taught me something useful today...' Victor looked at the bedroom ceiling; 'If one day I have a daughter... I'll do my best to be close to her and not be like you.'
'Umu, rejoice, you were useful for something.'
What was that about Victor's teachers from elementary school? It was basically something along the lines of; 'they taught me the A, B, C, D. They have my respect.'
But the question is: did Victor remember them? Of course not. If the respect he had for Scathach was something like 100. The respect he had for his teachers in elementary school was 1.
It's something like, 'Thank you, you taught me something useful... Anyway...' Soon Victor got on with his life and forgot about the man.
"...So, Darling." Sasha opened her eyes and looked at Victor with a gentle, loving look.
She gently caressed Victor's face:
"No need to blame yourself, or feel responsible."
"Thank you so much for getting mad for me..."
"I love you." Sasha smiled. Her smile was so bright that it was like he was standing in front of a gentle goddess who forgave all his sins.
"..." Victor displayed an expression of shock, and somehow he felt more... relieved. It was as if a huge weight had been removed from his chest.
Unconsciously, small tears began to fall from his face.
"No need to cry, Darling. My god, what do I do with you? You're so cute sometimes. Keep this up, and I might fall even deeper in love with you~." She laughed and kissed Victor's lips.
"...?" While kissing Sasha, he touched his face and saw that he really was crying.
Sasha stopped kissing Victor and looked at his shocked expression:
"What is it? What's with this look of someone who has just discovered the truth of the world?"
"N-Nothing... It's just been a long time..."
"Long time since what?"
"Long time since I last cried."
"Oh, is that a good thing?"
"I don't know, but..." He clenched his hand tightly, "I'm glad I made that expression just for the one I love."
"...You're weird sometimes, Darling."
"Hahaha, get used to it."
"I will."
This time, Victor took the initiative and kissed Sasha. A war of tongues happened, and it lasted for a few minutes until...
"VICTOR!! COME HERE, NOW!" Scathach's voice was heard by everyone in the mansion.
Crack, Crack.
Her voice was so loud that some of the glass in the room Victor and Sasha were in cracked.
"She sounds angry," Victor spoke.
"Yes..." Sasha made an annoyed face, she was having a good time now!
"Hahaha~, don't make that face, Honey… Or I'll fall in love with you more." He kissed her cheek.
"Ugh…" She pouted.
Victor pats her thigh, "Stand up. We need to go. If my master called me like that, it's because something happened."
"Oh, that might be true..."
Chapter 119: The king of all vampires.
The king of all vampires, the Progenitor, the strongest creature on Earth, the being that has walked the Earth for over 5000 years, the king of immortal creatures, the true immortal. He has many titles that beings have given him, he has many forms, and few people have seen his true form.
As the Progenitor, all vampires came from him. He is the beginning of everything, the strongest vampire in existence.
The creature that even hunters don't dare fight if they do not have all the generals together, and even if it brought together all the generals and pope to fight this monster, the chances of killing it was almost nil.
In fact, people wonder if it's possible to kill this man... Wrong, this monster.
In his lifetime, he had many names that he gave himself over the millennia. As a creature that outlives all other beings, he saw no need to have only one name in his long existence.
But that all changed the day he met a certain man, and while interacting with that man for a while, the strongest creature alive finally decided to choose a name for himself.
Vlad Tepes, King of the Vampires... And that's how he's been known till this day.
And this man, this king, was calling... Wrong, he ordered a certain man to come to his castle today.
In a ridiculously large castle that looks like it was made millennia ago, a man and a woman were walking towards the king's throne room.
"Victor, don't attack the princes. And especially don't look at the princesses." Scathach ordered him.
"Yes, I know. And I would never look at princesses, I'm married." Victor smiled and replied to his master.
"No, you don't know..." She sighed when she saw his smile. Did she know he wouldn't look at the princesses but attack the princes? That's another matter entirely.
She regrets a little now that she influenced him a lot, just a little...
She looked straight ahead and assumed an annoyed expression. She clearly wasn't enjoying being in this place, though the reason she wasn't enjoying it was...
'I need to keep the princesses away from him…'
"HmmHmmmHmmm~" Victor had a big smile on his face as he walked calmly behind Scathach. He was so excited! How could he not be!?
He gets to see the strongest creature alive on Earth!
His eyes glowed blood red. He wanted to see it... He wanted to see a glimpse of the top, he wanted to see in person the man that even Scathach respects.
Scathach looked at her disciple again and flashed an approving smile. She knew immediately what he was thinking. How did she know?
Because she felt the same way when she visited this castle 2000 years ago. She was very excited. She wanted to see the top. She wanted to see the being that everyone, even in her time, respected as the strongest.
'Well... Maybe that's not a bad thing... If my disciple sees that man, maybe he'll be more excited about training, and if he gets stronger, maybe...' She thought of something at the end, but she shook her head, denying her thoughts. She looked straight ahead again with a serious face:
'I'm hurrying, it's still too early for him. No matter what kind of monstrous genius he is, the time barrier cannot be overcome.'
Biologically, every 500 years, a vampire would experience a boost in power and potential, and this was something that could not be easily overcome by younger vampires. They needed to get older. They needed to train and improve their skills, and just like that, they got stronger.
...
Vlad Tepes has seven children he sired with several different women. He has four sons and three daughters, all of which were present today in response to their father's call.
"It's rare for Father to call upon all of us to gather together like this…" Lucas Tepes, the second prince, spoke.
"…" Saul Tepes, the third prince, looked at his father, who was sitting on his throne. 'Why did he call us? He only does this when he wants to show us something...'
"Silence, Lucas." Theo Tepes, the first prince, ordered. He was the eldest of the king's sons.
"Tsk, don't boss me around." Lucas clicked his tongue and glared at his brother, with his eyes glowing blood red.
"Are you planning to fight? In the presence of our father?" Adam Tepes, the fourth prince, asked. Despite being the youngest son, he was the wisest of the four princes.
"..." Lucas was silent and quickly calmed down.
All princes were over 1000 years old except for the fourth prince, who was the youngest.
The first prince, Theo Tepes, is 3000 years old and one of the eldest vampires.
Next, we have the second prince, Lucas Tepes, who is 2000 years old.
Then there is the third prince, Saul Tepes, who is 1000 years old.
And the fourth prince, Adam Tepes, who is the youngest of the brothers and has just reached adulthood. He is 500 years old.
"Princes, please maintain the appearance expected of royalty." Suddenly, they heard the voice of a man standing beside the king. The man had bright golden hair and was wearing an immaculate white suit.
Interestingly, this man kept his eyes closed as he 'looked' towards the princes.
This man's name was Alexios Alioth, the right hand of Vlad Tepes and also the father of Natalia Alioth.
Interestingly, the trusted right hand of the king of all vampires was a human.
"...Yes, Alex." The three princes, except the first prince, spoke at the same time.
"Well... That's not a good sign." Elizabeth, the second princess who was beside her brothers, said. She was very nervous. This was the first time she had seen her brothers all together.
"..." Ophis, the third princess, ignored everything and looked at her father, who was sitting on his throne. 'Father...' She wanted to go towards him but was too scared to do so.
After all, her father never paid attention to her...
"Snif..." Unconsciously, small tears threatened to fall from her face, but she was a strong girl. She wouldn't cry about it! She was used to it...
Quickly, she wiped her eyes and looked away and decided to ignore everything.
"Boring... I thought something interesting was going to happen, but nothing happened. Maybe I'll go back to sleep..." Muttered a woman with long black hair like pure darkness that flowed to the ground. She had violet eyes and a sinful body that looked like she was the offspring of a succubus.
She was Elizabeth's older sister, and as perceived by the woman's appearance, seeing as she was nearly identical to Elizabeth herself, it was obvious that they shared the same mother as well.
This woman's name was Lilith Tepes.
"Countess Scathach Scarlett and her disciple Victor Walker have arrived!" They heard an announcement.
"W-Wh-" Elizabeth didn't know what to think. 'He's coming here!? That crazy man!?'
"..." Ophis looked at the door with her eyes glowing blood red; 'Father...'
"Oh...?" Seeing her sisters' reaction, Lilith was a little interested.
"S-Scathach…" The third and fourth prince stuttered at the same time.
"That monster... Is she coming?" The second prince spoke as his body seemed to be shaking a little.
"Disciple... A new one?" The first prince spoke in a low voice.
Soon, everyone could hear footsteps, and a woman with long red hair accompanied by a tall man was seen.
The man had a big smile on his face that showed all of his sharp teeth. His eyes were blood red, and he was just staring at one specific place. He was ignoring everything and everyone.
The princes looked at Victor with curiosity, evaluating the new disciple of Scathach. After all, they know that woman does not accept teaching people who lack talent.
'Wait... Isn't he that man who fought in the arena?' The princes immediately recognized Victor.
'That vampire who has the three powers of the Counts...' Lilith's eyes sparkled with curiosity.
Scathach stopped at a place far from the king along with Victor and spoke without bowing or showing respect:
"Hey, old man. I brought him." She looked at the man who was sitting on the black throne with red accents. He seemed to have his eyes closed, and a shadow was hiding his face.
Everyone was used to Scathach's lack of respect, and they didn't dare question the woman. They didn't want to go through hell again.
The King opened his eyes and looked at Victor with his blood red eyes.
"!!!" Victor's whole body visibly shook, he could feel... He could feel it!
The king did nothing. He just looked at him. But with just that one look, he knew. That man... Wrong, that monster was powerful! Extremely powerful.
"Ahhh~, I knew it~... I knew it!" Victor ignored everyone and walked towards the king.
The man still did nothing. He just continued to look at him. But still, with just that look, he knew. That man… that monster is really, really powerful!
The king raised his eyebrow in amusement. Somehow this scene reminded him of something that happened in the past.
"…" The hall was silent. All that could be heard was the sound of Victor's footsteps approaching the king. No one could utter a word. The only thing that crossed the minds of the princes and princesses was, 'Is this man crazy?! Does he have a death wish?!'
"Insolence! What do you think you are doing? Return to your position at once! To dare show such disrespect before His Majesty!" Two royal guards suddenly appeared and tried to stop Victor, but Victor just walked past the bodies of the guards as if the two guards didn't exist.
"H-Huh?"
The two guards quickly turned around to try to stop Victor again. However, when they touched his body, the guard's hand phased through Victor's body, like he didn't even exist!
"Heh~" Scathach immediately understood what Victor was doing; 'He matched the lightning speed with my technique. To everyone, the guard seems to be going through his body, but actually, Victor was just too fast.'
In an action of milliseconds, Victor took three steps backwards and returned to his original position. When he did, everyone thought he was intangible, but it was just a simple speed trick.
'Tsk. Natashia's blood had unexpected effects, huh?' She clicked her tongue in annoyance.
Victor arrived in the distance where the king's first son stood.
Suddenly, the king's eyes seemed to glow a little brighter.
And soon, the world around Victor grew heavier.
Crack, Crack.
The ground around Victor began to crack.
"This is..."
"Father…" The second and third princes gulped.
.....
"…" Still with a smile on his face, Victor ignored the king's pressure. In fact, it only made him more excited.
He stepped forward and started walking again.
He needed to see the king's might. He needed to get a glimpse of the 'top'.
"Stop!" The guards tried to catch Victor again.
As the guards were about to touch Victor, Alexios Alioth raised his hand in a stopping gesture.
"Yes!" Not questioning the decision of the king's right hand, the two guards disappeared.
Why did he do it? It's simple; 'I haven't seen this expression in a while.' Alexios thought as he looked at the small, almost invisible smile on the king's face.
'Looks like the king wants to show us something. Let's see what happens.' As a faithful servant, it was his duty to understand his master's intentions.
Again, Victor started walking.
'Come on, come on, come on! Show me! Show me! I want to see it!' His eyes glowed blood red.
The smile, the expression, and the whole atmosphere around Victor indicated that he was just another suicidal madman.
That was what the princes and princesses present thought, except for three people.
Scathach, The First Prince, Theo, and the King himself.
They understood Victor's feelings now.
'Walking is not enough.'
Rumble, Rumble.
Suddenly Victor disappeared, leaving behind a golden beam.
The king lightly touched the throne with his finger.
And as if the scene repeated itself, an overwhelming pressure fell upon Victor.
Crack, Crack.
Victor stopped running. He was only a few feet away from the king.
Cough.
He coughed up blood on the floor.
'That smell…' Lilith's eyes glowed blood red.
And this scene seemed to be repeated by all the princes and princesses.
Seeing the blood on the ground, the king spoke for the first time, "I see..."
His voice made the atmosphere even more tense, as he ignored Victor and looked toward Scathach:
"Are you crazy?" His question seemed to contain several hidden meanings.
Scathach looked at the king and displayed a big, distorted smile that showed all her sharp teeth:
"... Pfft... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA~" Her laugh echoed throughout the castle.
Her laugh sent shivers through everyone who had ever fallen victim to this madwoman's clutches.
"And I still bothered to ask..." He closed his eyes slowly.
"..." A silence fell in the area. He seemed to be thinking about something.
"Very well, let's see if he's worthy..."
'Worthy? Worthy of what!?' That's what all the princes thought.
Making a decision, The King rose from his throne, and for the first time, Victor saw the man's entire body, unhidden by the shadow of his throne.
He was tall, roughly 210 CM tall, with pale skin, black hair slicked back, appearing as a thirty year old man in general... He looked like an ordinary salary man you could see anywhere.
Seeing Victor's shocked face, the king spoke in a voice that made everyone shiver:
"Shape and looks don't make any sense to me. I can be whatever I want, whenever I want." To prove what he said, his body began to be covered in blood, and soon a man wearing medieval black armor appeared in front of Victor.
"I can be a medieval king who fought thousands of wars." His voice was deep like an experienced warrior. Then his appearance changed again.
This time, a blond man with green eyes appeared, "I can be a holy warrior who fought for god, and was betrayed by him." Soon his body was covered in blood again.
And this time, the king has turned into someone he knows very well.
"F-Father?"
"Boy, I'm not your father, didn't you hear what I said?" The king's form changed again, and this time it was for his friend Andrew.
"...I see. You know my family, huh."
"I'm glad you understand fast." He spoke in a voice similar to Victor's friend.
"..." Scathach's expression wasn't pretty now. She looked up into the shadows. 'I made sure I blocked all information… Those annoying bugs…'
"..." The vampires who were hiding in the shadows broke out in a cold sweat when they saw Scathach's gaze.
"Hearing that from my friend makes me pretty uncomfortable, you know?" Despite his neutral face that indicated he didn't care, the air around Victor was anything but gentle.
Scathach decided to ignore it for the time being and instead looked at what was going on in front of her.
The king's form changed again, and this time, he returned to the appearance of the salary man.
"Come." He gestured for Victor to come towards him.
"!!!" Victor's killing intent exploded and engulfed the entire king's castle. Victor's smile grew while the gloves on his hand began to glow madly.
"..." Just for a few seconds, all the princes gulped as they sensed Victor's killing intent.
The one who was suffering the most from feeling Victor's killing intent was the fourth prince, who was only 500 years old.
Unconsciously, Victor prevented his killing intent from reaching Ophis, and as Elizabeth and Lilith were close to Ophis, they too also felt nothing.
Victor rose up from the ground, and again, he ran towards the king.
He was now 5 meters away from the king.
The King snapped his finger, and soon an even greater pressure descended on Victor.
BOOOOOM!
Crack, Crack!
Sounds of broken bones could be heard as Victor fell to the ground again.
"HAHAHAHAHA~." Despite being broken all over, Victor laughed.
Despite his whole body being broken, he still started to get up.
Crack, Crack!
Every effort he made caused more damage to his body, but he didn't care.
"This man... he's crazy..." The fourth prince muttered.
The third and the second prince could not help but agree with their brother's words.
'Victor...' Although he was a hateful guy, Elizabeth didn't want to see him get killed. She looked at his master and saw her with an indifferent face.
'Why isn't she doing anything?'
"Father!" Ophis suddenly yelled. Her voice rendered the entire hall into a deep and tense silence.
"Father...?" Lilith didn't understand.
"..." The king raised an eyebrow and looked at his daughter. He thought she was talking to him.
Soon something occurred that left everyone stumped. Ophis teleports to Victor's side.
Not wanting to hurt his daughter, the king released the pressure.
Feeling a small hand tugging at his clothes, Victor turned his face, "Oh... Ophis, what is it, my daughter?"
"...Huh...?"
Everyone who didn't know about Ophis' relationship with Victor could only say that...
He just called the king's daughter 'my daughter'!?
"Father...Hurts." Ophis had never seen Victor so hurt, and this was very different from the fight he had with Tatsuya and Einer.
"Oh, this?" Victor's wounds began to regenerate at high speed.
"This is nothing, see? I'm brand new." Victor kneels down and strokes Ophis' hair, "Don't worry, okay? Just go back to your sister's side."
"B-But..."
"Please? I promise I'll play with you later." Seeing Victor's gentle gaze.
Ophis bit her lip and said, "Yes, Father..."
She just took orders!? What the fuck is going on here!? The princes could not believe what they were seeing, and neither could the king himself.
'I received a report about this before... But I never thought they were this close.'
"Good Girl," Victor laughed gently and patted her head.
"Hehehe."
Seeing Ophis smile, Lilith can't help but open her mouth in shock, "Is my little sister who always seemed to be lifeless, smiling...?" Her interest in Victor started to grow again.
The princes were more surprised that Victor touched Ophis, and he didn't suffer anything! Everyone in the king's family knew about Ophis' special status.
When Ophis returned to Elizabeth's side, Victor stood up. He cracked his neck a little and looked at the king.
He flashed a small smile, "I'm sorry, my daughter interrupted our business."
"…" Again, another uncomfortable silence descended around.
This man is crazy! He just provoked the king!? He will die!
"Heh~" Scathach liked Victor's response.
"You daughter...?" The king's voice sent shivers through the princes and his subordinates who were present.
'It's decided. He's dead.' That's what everyone thought.
"Yes."
"Kid-" The king was going to say something, but he stopped when he felt the whole atmosphere of Victor change.
"Hey, Vlad." He smiled at the king as if he were talking to a childhood friend who hadn't spoken to each other for a long time...
"…" What is this feeling? What is this unsettling feeling? That's what all the princes thought.
'Victor... My stupid disciple, I didn't bring you here for you to kill yourself.' Scathach ignored what Victor suffered a few minutes ago, why?
She went through the same thing in the past when she was a naive and arrogant young woman. So when she caught a glimpse of the 'top', she finally had a clear path to follow and get stronger. She hoped that would happen to her disciple too.
'I will not let you die. The only one who can kill you is me.' Scathach's lifeless eyes stare at Victor's back.
"Have you ever been asked this question before in your long life?" Victor's glove's magic circles began to glow brightly.
"A noble and brave warrior once asked me, are you an honorable fighter or a monster cursed by god?"
"..." The king's eyes narrowed a little
"Hearing the noble warrior's question; Do you know what I answered?" Victor's body began to lose shape, and he turned into something dark. He turned into an entity that the only thing that could be seen was his big smile and blood red eyes.
"Yes, I know." The king spoke, and for the first time, he displayed a small smile on his face.
"…" All the king's sons were in shock when they saw their father's smile.
The king's answer took the smile off Victor's face. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't stop the enchantment now that it had started.
"I am a monster created by god."
"You are a monster created by god."
The two spoke at the same time.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
