Viktor slowly opened his eyes and watched the place where he was still half asleep, until he remembered what had happened and a desperate look flashed on his face before quickly getting up from the bed where he was and running to the door of the small room.
The boy opened the door and found Lilith outside the room, still reading her little book. The boy's expression was one of hate when looking at Lilith, and he instinctively attacked him in anger.
The boy was not stupid, he clearly knew that there was no way he could defeat someone who defeated his parents, but the anger and sadness he felt prevented him from thinking clearly, which led to this stupid decision.
Seeing the boy jump towards her, Lilith didn't even bother to move and a red aura threw the boy to the ground quickly, making Viktor scream in pain.
After throwing Viktor to the ground, the red aura tied him like a rope, trapping him and covering his mouth to prevent him from speaking.
Lilith didn't give the boy a second glance before turning around and slowly dragging Viktor with her out of the house, where there was a large yard with high walls surrounding the house.
The boy could only observe everything with hatred and helplessly follow Lilith against her will.
Arriving at the yard, Lilith closes the small book in her hands and looks at Viktor with an expressionless face, before extending her hand and her red aura enters the house and quickly returns with some objects that range from swords to instruments, from books to plants. , and a number of other miscellaneous objects, which she lined up in front of Viktor, before releasing the same.
Upon release, Viktor did not attempt to attack Lilith again, nor did he attempt to flee.
He wasn't stupid, and although he still had a great deal of hatred, he wasn't as blind as he used to be and knew that trying to attack or flee would be futile now.
He just looked with cold eyes at Lilith without saying a word.
Lilith's expression didn't change after releasing Viktor, but anticipation flickered for a second in her gaze seeing that the boy really didn't act like his age.
She silently approved, as knowing how to adapt was important if you wanted to survive in this world.
If Viktor had chosen to attack Lilith a second time, she would have been really disappointed in his stupidity, but he followed her expectations.
"Choose one of these and tell me you feel something special about one of them." She spoke in an indifferent voice as she looked at Viktor.
Viktor followed Lilith's instructions after some hesitation. He might take some risk in picking up an object, but he knew the risks of something happening to him were greater if he refused to listen to Lilith. He was someone smart, and he knew that it was not yet the time for revenge.
Viktor first took out a large sword, which was one of the weapons that he found most attractive among the objects. He lifted the sword easily, and was surprised to find that despite looking sturdy, the sword was extremely light.
Despite that, he didn't feel anything unusual as Lilith had said and turned his gaze to her, and she waved at him for him to continue.
PViktor then dropped his sword and picked up a small dagger, and was surprised again to find it difficult to lift it. Despite being several times smaller than the great sword, it was also several times heavier.
But again, nothing unusual happened, so he just continued to pick up and drop all the objects, starting with the weapons, as he instinctively felt that was what would help him the most.
But even after going through all the unusual weapons, nothing as special as Lilith described had happened, so he reluctantly started picking up the most common objects, ranging from brooms to mirrors.
After going through some objects, when picking up a black candle that seemed to be by the way, something unusual finally happened. The initially extinguished candle lit up with a small red flame, which surprised Viktor to feel his body get tired just holding the candle.
Seeing this, Lilith's expression didn't change, but a great relief washed over her as she saw the candle light up.
She was surprised and dismayed to see Viktor go through all the weapons, which numbered more than a hundred, without showing the slightest affinity with any of them.
Even the objects had been almost a hundred before Viktor showed any affinity.
She was initially worried that he had no affinity for relics, which would make her immediately give up on taking him as a disciple.
Viktor was only a human, so no matter how strong his body is or how cunning his mind is, it would all be useless if he didn't have any affinity for the relics.
Humans were naturally different from Vampires, with their natural magic, or Wolves, with their physiques that were many times stronger and tougher than humans, or even Demons with their summons.
Humans were just weak! Even the strongest human wouldn't be able to fight an average wolf if he relied on physical strength alone.
Humans were weak, but they used relics to compensate for their weakness, and only because of that they were able to stand in front of other races without facing their extinction.
Relics!
That was the key to human survival!
No one knew how or when, or even where the relics were created. All people knew is that they exist for humans, as only humans had an affinity for relics!
Of course, the other races also had uses for relics, but it was far from comparable to humanity, who depended on relics to survive in this dark age.
Lilith was relieved to notice Viktor's affinity, and without changing her expression, she reached out her hand and a red aura pulled the black candle towards her, relieving Viktor's burden that he had activated the unconscious relic and was expending great energy to maintain it. active.
As it left Viktor's hands, the candle immediately went out.
"Go ahed." Lilith spoke with a calm voice and a serene look as she looked at Viktor, who stopped for a few seconds still in shock from the quick events.
The candle rising by itself shocked Viktor, but not nearly as much as feeling all of his energy draining away from it. Only a few seconds had passed since the candle lit up and Lilith took it from his hands, but that had already exhausted him, so automatically the idea of continuing to pick up another object scared him, but he knew there wasn't much he could do, and just took a deep breath and continued as Lilith ordered.
