The Bored Immortal

"Ayana, put some sense into your Master\'s head," Viktor said with an exasperated look. He wondered whether it was a bad idea to involve himself with these people, especially Nyissa.

But then again, he never knew how deep their determination, especially Nyissa\'s, would be to get rid of him. And he also knew that without their help, he might not stand a good chance of saving his people.

Even though Ayana was feeling wary, she felt that Viktor didn\'t seem to be like the frightening Blood Demon she had heard of and said timidly, "Master...maybe Viktor is right, he—"

.

"Silence! You know nothing," Nyissa made Ayana seal her lips by shooting a glare towards her before turning towards Viktor, "Don\'t drag my disciple into this. For all these centuries, I was trained to fulfill our clan\'s only mission, and that is to bring you down the moment you show up again on our lands. And not only me but even the ones who lived before me and even my own disciple, Ayana, are still being trained to face you. But her generation and today\'s people think that you are just some made-up legend told by people to scare children though only people like me know the truth."

She continued with a determined tone, "So it is my sacred duty to honor my ancestors and our clan\'s wishes and bring justice for the sacrifices they made. Leaving you alone will only make me disgrace my clan and everything it stands for."

Viktor shook his head, feeling a headache, and knew that people like her were very sensitive and steadfast when it came to their traditions, rules, and especially the honor of their clan, even if the decisions they made wouldn\'t seem sensible.

Viktor dryly chuckled, "It\'s all in the past, and I am not even the same person anymore. The person you want to kill does not exist anymore. So why don\'t you act sensibly and put that spear back? Sticking to your rules and beliefs blindly wouldn\'t bring you or your clan any benefits."

"Wrong...people don\'t change…Your beguiling looks and actions might deceive others but not me," Nyissa said as memories of her mother flashed in her mind, making her gaze intensify even more.

Viktor really didn\'t want to fight her since it had no advantages but only disadvantages and said, "Nyissa, I don\'t take pleasure in fighting beauties but don\'t make me."

Ayana inwardly snorted, hearing his words while unconsciously caressing her cheeks.

Viktor continued, "This is not the time and place for it. What you are doing is not going to help us now. Alright...if you are that adamant, how about we fight it out after we get out of here?"

Viktor couldn\'t understand why Nyissa was being so adamant about putting him down when she didn\'t even know him personally and wondered if her clan brainwashed her for all these centuries to take him down.

"Not going to help us? Do you know that the fastest way to destroy evil spirits is by placating their spirits? The only reason they are even tied down to the Wailing Hills is that you are still alive. So, once we give you to them, then everything will return to normal since they wouldn\'t have any more reason to remain as evil spirits in our lands. Their vengeance would be fulfilled, freeing their souls. But...I am not going to do that. I am going to capture you and bring you before our clan to exact out justice together. Only that way can you be truly punished."

"No offense, but that sounds stupid. It will be an easy way for your clan to get a combo ticket to the Land of Eternal Peace. I think you are quite emotional about this without thinking reasonably," Viktor patiently said since he didn\'t want to unnecessarily fight with her and ruin his chances of saving his people. So he wanted to try and see if he could convince her to change her mind.

He knew that the Abominable Fiend was probably the one who brought him here, and if the Ranars were giving him enough trouble, then he knew the Abominable Fiend would be an even more difficult entity to kill.

Ayana had a hard time trying to remember what this Land of Eternal Peace was and why he mentioned it.

"I believe in my sacred duty and my ancestors\' teachings. If you mistake it as me being emotional, then feel free to do so," Nyssia coldly said.

"I can\'t blame you for believing your ancestor\'s words, but he must be one among the other fools who believed that bastard Borin to be his benefactor. I am sure that pig only helped him for his own reasons," Viktor said with a shrug casually and couldn\'t help but say it since he was starting to get annoyed by how their clan\'s ancestors were considering Borin to be some kind of saint and how people like Nyissa were blindly believing them though he did not find it surprising since she was not the only kind of person he had come across who had blind faith in their teachings.

However, inwardly he was feeling a bit disconcerted about Sae Mou after hearing the probable reason why she tried to kill him.

In fact, he set out to kill King Borin just like her after his family and people were brutally killed. So, in the end, he felt that she was no different than him, who seduced her way in to get to him just like how he slipped into King Borin\'s ranks to break him from within.

He knew that he must have probably massacred her clan since, at that time, he made sure to destroy every clan associated with King Borin to destroy every trace of his kingdom and root out the weeds.

Thus, he suddenly didn\'t know what to think about her and was having complicated thoughts.

Ayana felt a cold bead of sweat trickling down her forehead, hearing how Viktor blatantly badmouthed their ancestor and that too in front of the daughter of the clan\'s patriarch, no less.

In their clan, if anyone spoke against the patriarch or spoke ill about their ancestor or their benefactor King Borin, then they would be met with severe punishment though rarely did any unfortunate soul happen to receive these punishments throughout the years.

Even though King Borin wasn\'t their ancestor, he was like their benefactor since, without him, there might not have been a Fujo Clan in the first place.

Nyissa tightened her grip on the spear as she said with a dark expression, "As expected from the Blood Demon, you showed no hesitation to vilify our respected ancestors and benefactors. And since you seem to carry hatred and anger for them based on your past deeds and present acts, you are a mortal enemy of our clan who can\'t be allowed to roam free across the earth."

Viktor let out a frustrated sigh and said as he flexed his neck, "Alright, I had enough of this bullshit. Since you want a fight that badly, I will give you one. But no matter how powerful and skillful you are, you will never be able to truly defeat me. So, better think twice before you do something you might regret later."

Nyissa harrumphed as she receded a few steps to take a battle stance as she readied her spear, "It seems you underestimate us due to not having proper knowledge of who we actually are. And based on what my disciple said, it seems like you never had any communication with people of your kind or any other people who are not Regulars. But that\'s your problem which would cause your downfall as well."

Ayana and the others backed away hurriedly, seeing that these two powerful people were about to fight each other seriously, though Ayana inwardly hoped that her Master goes easy on Viktor since she felt that he truly seemed like a different person compared to the one she heard in the legends and stories.

Viktor furrowed his brow, knowing that he only recently found out that people like the ones before him existed, especially other vampires based on what they said.

He knew he might have missed out on a lot of important things because of not having touch with people like him, and thus he had no idea what Nyissa meant by saying that he was underestimating her.

He knew she was not the kind to brag but felt that there was a good reason why she seemed so confident despite seeing his fighting skills earlier.

Still, Viktor smirked, "We will see about that. If I wanted you or your people dead, they would have been dead already. Sigh, I should blame myself for being such a goodboi at times, especially when beauties don\'t appreciate it," Viktor said with a heavy sigh as he took out his dagger.
