The Bored Immortal

*Thump!*

Hawk Demoness' body collapsed on the ground as Viktor let go of her.

"Fuck!" But he fell to his knees as a sudden wave of exhaustion and fatigue struck him, especially in the head, making him feel a splitting headache and drowsiness.

He had to lean himself against a tree to catch his breath while looking at her corpse with a subtle smile, not expecting his Soul of Infinity ability to actually be better than he expected.

It was too easy to kill her once he took away her advantages before she could react. The element of surprise, coupled with making her unable to use her wings and her mace, just made it too easy.

But without this ability, he would have found himself at a loss and wouldn't have been able to defeat her in time.

"Ehh…what's happening…" Viktor suddenly felt a subtle burning sensation on his nape and touched it, wondering if Hawk Demoness had injured him there even though he never remembered her doing so.

However, the burning sensation faded away till he didn't feel anything at all.

"Was I imagining it?" Viktor mumbled as he tried to get up, but he felt like his entire body was feeling heavy and didn't know if he could really stop Dark Phoenix like this. That guy seemed to be even more powerful than Hawk Demoness based on how she acted around him.

"Viktor! Are you alright??" A woman's worried cry came from behind, and Viktor was surprised to see who it was.

"Taya? What are you doing here? Didn't we tell you to hide?..." Viktor said as he leaned against the tree while trying to keep his eyes open.

He didn't know when it started, but the scent of Taya's blood was making his stomach growl and his throat itch.

"Don't worry, I know how to avoid people who can kill me with just a single punch. But look at you now…Your face looks too pale and tired. I knew you would need my help," Taya said as she stood in front of Viktor and parted her snowy hair to the side to reveal her slender, fair neck, which made Viktor's blood surge.

Without even wasting a second, he brought her head closer and sunk his fangs into her pretty neck, letting them pierce into her soft skin as Taya grimaced.

He seemed more aggressive than usual, but the pain was nothing compared to the indescribable feeling of ecstasy she was feeling as the blood inside her body danced upon feeling Viktor's presence.

"Ahnn!~ Viktor~Hnn~" Taya mewled and moaned as she bit her lip, trying to stay focused instead of getting lost in this pleasure.

Viktor's eyes were crimson red as he eagerly drank her delicious blood. Even though Taya was just a Regular human, her blood always quenched his thirst while also making him feel quite good.

Taya didn't know why but this time, she wasn't getting easily tired as compared to before, even though Viktor kept on drinking. She felt she had to thank the special rainbow fruit Viktor gave her for returning her body to its peak condition.

Viktor's eyes were finally wide open as he felt his body and mind getting rejuvenated. But he felt Taya's body becoming weaker even though she wasn't saying anything, and he immediately took out his fangs.

"Taya, I am sorry…I think I overdid it. Are you alright?" Viktor asked as he gently cupped her slightly pale face.

Taya softly smiled as she gave a soft kiss on his lips, "This is nothing. Now go and stop him…I will be alright."

Viktor sensed that she would be alright soon and nodded with a smile, "I will be back."

Taya took a deep breath as she looked at his silhouette disappear into the forest. She never expected an adventurous short vacation to make them end up in this situation.

She then saw the corpse of Hawk Demoness, making her mumble, "Did he become a Champion now?"

*Splutch!*

The chilling sound of a head getting crushed to the ground by a heavy hammer echoed as Aelita crushed the head of the 50th pseudo-vampire.

Splotches of blood were spread here and there over her skin and clothes. But it wasn't her blood but the blood of the pseudo vampires she crushed.

None of them even managed to scratch her, though they succeeded in making her waste time by dealing with them.

However, the price she paid was not only time but also the energy she spent. Drops of sweat were trickling down her face and body as she used the heavy hammer to support herself.

By using her void force for so long, she was running on fumes. She knew that the man named Dark Phoenix purposefully used those pseudo-vampires to drain her energy.

But she felt hopeful since that mysterious man named Viktor had gone after him. She didn't know, but she felt like putting all her hopes in a man she had only met a few hours ago.

Still, despite feeling so exhausted, she looked towards Umilia, who was fighting the woman named Death Queen.

The two were still exchanging moves, and none of the two seemed to get an edge over the other.

"You don't seem as weak as before. I wonder what changed," Death Queen said with squinted eyes as she tried to clutch Saintess' face with her hand of death.

"It isn't wise to underestimate me," Umilia said coolly as she pulled her hand away by her wrist and blasted sacred light onto her chest, pushing her away into the air by a few feet.

"Ungh!" Death Queen groaned as she placed her hand on her chest, her eyes increasingly becoming darker with killing intent, "I can't let you live any longer," Death Queen was about to unleash a powerful attack when she saw Aelita running towards her, swinging her Void Hammer. At the same time, her eyes narrowed as if she sensed something.

"It seems now isn't your time to die," Death Queen curtly said before flying off in the opposite direction, making Umilia and Aelita look up, feeling surprised that she suddenly left.

Umilia knew Aelita was too exhausted to stand against Death Queen now, so why would she fly away without even being put into a disadvantageous situation?

"Let's forget about her and catch up with Viktor," Aelita said, feeling relieved that Death Queen left since it would give her the time to recover some strength.
