“Hmm?” Victor had opened the evolution panel just to see the numbers, but unexpectedly, he found out something that was interesting. The Fire-Imp form he just gained some days ago actually possessed the potential to grow stronger. Originally, Victor was going to replace the Fire-Imp form with a minotaur, but now he was eager to see the benefits he would gain after evolving.
Once again, for the another hundredth time, Victor had to change his plan. Though exaggerated, he had altered his original plan so many times at this point.
He was on a new mission now to gain more evolution material from the Fire-Imp and advance its evolution. Needless to say, ever since Victor came to this world, he hadn’t really had a moment of rest. He headed straight to the fire-imp territory and started killing imp after imp as he ate their flesh after their death.
As he headed deeper into the territory, he started to notice the strange absence of monsters in the area, and since he hadn’t gotten past their territory, he could immediately see that something was wrong. Instead of turning back, Victor continued forward. If there was something that could kill the fire-imps, then it was only beneficial to him. While advancing forward carefully, Victor on the inside couldn’t shake the possibility of the ones responsible for the absence of the fire-imps to be the humans he had seen earlier.
“If it’s them, it might be better to just turn back.” Victor said to himself. Death wasn’t his problem. Not only did he not fear death, he also was sure of his resurrection after he died. The issue lied on the fact that the possibility of him being reincarnated back on the first floor was above 90%, not something he wanted.
Despite this, Victor kept walking forward, and by the time he had gone a few minutes into the fire-imp territory, he picked up something with his ears. It sounded like someone breathing heavily, but a bit subtle. With no doubt in his mind, Victor could tell who the breaths belonged to; it was the two humans he encountered earlier. The thing this time was that they seemed to have just gotten out of a pretty hard fight.
Victor continued down on the path, and the thought he had at the back of his mind was the possibility of him winning the fight if he engaged them at that moment of exertion and exhaustion.
The closer he got, the clearer the breathing became. Now he was just one corner away from appearing before the humans and he could already feel their presence, as he also predicted they could. Victor without pausing, as he had no fear in him, took the corner, but what he saw before him was a bit unexpected.
Different from the image he had in his head, the humans before him were in a totally different predicament.
The mage lady was lying on the ground, while the warrior sat just beside her, and from the exposed part of their skin, he could see just how darkened it had become. The colour of their skin like a mixture of purple and green, and the colouration was deep. Without a doubt, they had been poisoned, but what monster could produce such strong poison.
Victor didn’t need anybody to tell him that his enemies were in a weakened state, he could see that and was going to end them quickly, but then, when he looked at then, he couldn’t help but hesitate a bit. He looked at them a little more as he walked closer, and immediately confirmed his suspicions. They weren’t as weakened as they seemed, it was most likely bait.
‘Oh? They want to play huh? That’s all good with me.’ Victor said in his mind.
Victor immediately knew what to do. He took in a little breathe, and as he poured out the built in air, he consciously activated his skill ‘fire breath’, and aimed it at the humans by the side. They were well within range, and he was sure the skill would do some damage, since he had experienced it himself. Though the skill sounds like some magic that grants natural flame throwers to the wielder, it was pretty strong, and the flame really did damage. The moment the fire reached one metre away from the humans as it had merely left Victor’s mouth, the warrior lady jumped backwards a couple feet avoiding the magic, while the other lady must have used some magic that protected her form the flames, possibly a shield.
‘Well, not dying now, are they?’
“It didn’t work! Get behind me and ready for a fight!” The warrior lady shouted.
The mage must have used a magic to hasten her movement as she dashed behind the warrior with a speed that far surpassed what a mage should be able to show. The mage lady held out both hands with one palm facing the staff she was holding and started mumbling to herself as she casted different spells that seemed to be support magic, and plenty at that. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖
“Get rid of that thing! I don’t want to spoil my eyes with the image of a naked monster. How does one even exist?” The human mage said. It was then Victor remembered that he was naked.
This didn’t faze him though, it wasn’t like it mattered to him. The warrior dashed towards him immediately with some of the light surrounding her body still slightly glowing. She came in fast as her movements were fast, and so were her strikes, carrying power in them. It was taking quite a lot to protect himself and dodge the lady, and he had to be careful as he could sense a strange energy around her body and sword.
This energy was strange, but at the same time oddly familiar. He could tell that what he was feeling was holy energy, and for that amount, the other lady hiding behind was sure to be a holy mage that specialized in holy magic.
“Its compulsory now, this might be tougher than I thought.”
