The Bored Immortal

Nyissa again took a deep breath, feeling that she might lose her clarity of mind the more she interacted with this person.

Ayana rolled her eyes with an incredulous look, wondering how Viktor could still remain so casual and carefree without having any worries about fighting her Master.

She wondered if it was because Viktor had no idea how powerful her Master was and unconsciously hoped he did not underestimate her since she had personally seen how insanely strong her Master could be whenever she became serious.

And right now, she could see that her Master was very much motivated to bring Viktor down.

Still, she was looking forward to seeing how strong the legendary Blood Demon was and if the stories would do him any justice.

Viktor looked at Nyissa's spear and then looked at his small dagger, making him sigh inwardly, thinking why he didn't pick up a weapon from one of the Ranar's on the way.

He knew with a dagger it wouldn't be very effective against a spearwoman unless he could get close, but obviously, those who know their way with spears would keep their opponents from getting close so that they could maintain their freedom of attacking.

Nyisaa saw the way Viktor was looking at his dagger and squinted her eyes as she said, "Ayana, give your sword to him.. In a duel, I would rather fight on equal grounds."

Viktor raised a brow seeing how this woman was so honorable but crazy at the same time as well. He couldn't help but think how her personality was a weird combination.

Ayana didn't seem surprised as if she knew the ways of her Master and took out her curved, single-edged sword and walked over to Viktor to hand it to him.

Viktor wasn't one to refuse free favors and took the sword. He was confident of himself, but no matter what, he wouldn't want to be complacent about things.

"I thought you were ready to do anything to defeat me, and here you are talking about fighting on equal grounds. Did anyone ever tell you what a peculiar woman you are?" Viktor smirked as he took a stance.

Ayana tried to warn Viktor with her eyes not to further antagonize her Master, but he didn't seem to pay any mind.

Nyissa also took her stance with one of her legs forward and the other behind while holding the spear with both her hands.

Hearing his words, she pinched her lips, "You talk too much. After this, I doubt you will have the luxury."

"Bring it on, woman. You are not the first warrior beauty I have fought. In fact, every single one of them couldn't help but fall for me after I defeated them. I wonder if you will follow their example. Sigh, being too handsome and talented can be a bane sometimes," Viktor said with a weary sigh.

Ayana and her friends couldn't believe their ears since they never expected Viktor to flirt with their Mistress, especially in this situation.

Only they knew what happened to the ignorant men who tried to pursue her and had their egos crippled. After that, no one else ever tried, and even the patriarch didn't seem to comment about it.

"How insolent!" Nyissa, for the first time, fumed seeing how this man was continuously talking down to her to the point of assuming things before her own disciple and people.

For someone like her who followed strict values and traditions considered any talks about their purity a sacred matter, especially since she was not married.

So she obviously did not take Viktor's words kindly and charged forward with a dark expression.

Ayana and the others quickly stepped back by at least a dozen meters to not get caught in the fight between two powerful figures.

Viktor smiled, seeing that he got her riled up and moved forward to meet her spear.

Nyissa's face expressed her complete focus as she performed stabbing motions with her spear to keep Viktor from getting near while trying to land hits on him.

Viktor deflected her attempts at trying to stab him with his sword but was finding it hard to get near her, and her strength was totally on a different level compared to humans.

Otherwise, the moment he deflected her spear, she should have fallen back because of the force he put into his attack.

But she barely flinched and only took a backstep to maintain the distance between them.

Viktor now realized why Ayana and her friends were literally worshipping this woman since she was no ordinary human and he had never fought one like her.

As minutes passed on, Viktor and Nyissa had exchanged more than fifty moves, and neither of them still were able to get the upper hand.

Nyissa was literally moving like a war goddess, her movements fluid while each of her attacks was precise and deadly.

Viktor inwardly sighed, wondering how to defeat her using only his combat skills since she was not only strong but extremely talented as well with her spear.

'900 years of training is no joke as expected…' Viktor felt that her skills only showed how much she had trained for all these centuries. This was the first time he truly felt as if he found a worthy rival to fight.

His eyes were moving extremely fast to track her movements, but so were her movements keeping up to match his reflexes.

Ayana and her friends had a baffled expression seeing the epic duel between these two since this was the first time they were seeing their Master unable to get the upper hand even after exchanging so many moves.

With each of their exchanges, ripples of shockwaves were spreading in all directions, bringing down even the stone buildings near by while blasting away all the stones and reddish sand on the ground.

At the same time, they were also amazed to see how the Blood Demon was keeping up, especially his sword skills, which seemed profound yet simple while his movements looked like the battle dance of an immortal prince.

But then again, Viktor was not using the fullest of his abilities, especially teleportation and his speed, since he wanted to see what tricks Nyissa had in her hand before expending his energy needlessly.

He had seen before how she could manifest those strange black flames that had a suffocating pressure and knew he should steer clear from such flames.

Nyissa was also having the same thoughts since she had seen how insanely fast he was and how he could teleport as well. So she was waiting for him to make a move first using those abilities so that she could know to counter them beforehand rather than exhaust herself before.

Both had initially planned to take each other down using only their pure fighting skills. But only now they realized that it was more difficult than they thought.

"Not bad...as expected from a 900-year-old beauty…" Viktor remarked in an impressed tone as if he was genuinely complimenting her skills while exchanging a stare-off with her.

But Nyissa frowned, knowing that his words were nowhere near a sincere compliment, and regretted mentioning her age before.

Still, she couldn't simply remain silent after all this and said, "Likewise...as expected from the Blood Demon who devours the blood of innocent men and women."

"Sigh...you really know how to make a gentleman seem like a villain…" Viktor shook his head with a disappointed sigh though inwardly, he was seriously considering using his vampiric abilities to quickly defeat her and get back to finding a way to save his parents.

Nyissa snorted after hearing his words while she was also inwardly considering if she should use her true abilities to quickly defeat him since they knew fighting here for too long wasn't good.

Viktor finally felt that he didn't really have time to spare to play the waiting game and suddenly teleported behind her to strike her back.

But to his surprise, she immediately turned around and blocked his strike as if she had a pair of eyes on her back.

"How…" Viktor mumbled but didn't give up as he again teleported to her side to deal a quick strike, but she again reacted too quickly and blocked his attack again while pushing him backward with her spear.

'Let's see how long she can keep up…' Viktor still decided to keep on trying as he continuously teleported near her while trying to attack her from different angles, but each time she was somehow able to react to his attacks, blocking his sword with the sturdy shaft of her spear.

Ayana and her friends found it hard to keep up with the duel between the two since all they were seeing was a blur manifesting near their Mistress at different angles each time Viktor disappeared and how she was able to defend against him even when it seemed like Viktor almost landed a surprise attack on her.

"This is futile...no matter how many times you try to land a surprise attack, you can't," Nyissa said with a faint proud smile since this was the first time she felt it good to see her opponent's baffled expression.
