The Bored Immortal

"Kill…Kill me…" Viktor's weak voice struck Seraphina's heart like a thousand blades. And his words only hurt her even more, even if she was not the one enduring the pain.

She cleared her throat as she softly shook her head, "N-No…I-I can't…Please…Please don't give up. I will find a way. I promise."

The pain was making Viktor feel like tearing his nerves out, but he was able to hold on to a fraction of his senses to hear what Seraphina said, making him think that she was just afraid to take a life even if he couldn't die.

Seraphina could feel what Viktor was thinking without him saying it and was about to say something when Yanah suddenly swam inside with a sigh as she momentarily took a glance at Azu.

"You are able to use your powers again, and yet you didn't even bother to heal yourself. Do you really care that much about him?" Yanah asked as she motioned her fingers to use the water around her to heal Seraphina's wounds she had sustained from Mevron's attack and while trying to escape.

Seraphina sniffled as she said, "He is like this b-because of me…If only I had been more careful and—"

Seraphina stopped when she felt Viktor gripping her hand tightly, "Don't…say that…It's not your…fault…" He said with glassy eyes while his facial muscles were constantly squirming in pain.

Yanah had a look of astonishment, seeing that he was capable of even speaking despite being under so much agonizing pain. Most would have succumbed to the pain and lost their minds, with the worst part being that they wouldn't die immediately.

Yanah placed her hand on her forehead and said with her other arm crossed across her chest, "Look, Sera. It's wrong to keep him like this. I heard what he said earlier. He wants it too. Then just grant him his dying wish if you really care about him."

"You don't understand…" Seraphina shook her head as she added, "He cannot die…If he does, it might only get worse."

Viktor was puzzled by her words, just like Yanah was as she asked, "Huh? What do you mean by that? I mean, I know it would be very hard on you to see him die, but—"

"No. That's not what I meant. I said it's impossible for him to die. He can't even if he wanted to. He truly possesses immortality…A true immortal," Seraphina said as she pressed her lips together, while Yanah had a flummoxed look, her eyes blinking in disbelief and confusion.

She knew someone like Seraphina wouldn't lie, but still, she again took a good look at Viktor, trying to make sense of what he really was. She still couldn't believe that she was looking at a true immortal. It just was not possible.

Even if vampires usually can live a long life and were considered potentially immortal, they still could die either due to external causes or from old age upon fulfilling certain conditions.

However, her eyes had a certain glow upon thinking about it.

"I know his existence seems impossible. But I don't know about his true origins, and neither does he due to his memory loss. But what matters now is that I can't kill him even if it is to end his suffering. The Blade of Hatred is an ancient divine weapon that hurts the soul itself. If he comes back to life, his soul might not be whole as it was before. Losing memories again won't be the worst thing. He might not be…the same person anymore. We also can't tell if the poison won't come back again with even more vigor," Seraphina said with a difficult expression.

Viktor's breath shuddered in pain and shock upon hearing that he might be really put into eternal suffering. Death seemed like a paradise compared to that. Mevron didn't even know about his immortality, and yet his words about begging for death were true.

'No…I have to hold on…I can't leave them behind…' Viktor shook off these despairing thoughts as he remembered his women. He can't believe he almost gave in to the pain and thought of giving up. He had a lot of regrets, especially about those whom he lost and outlived. So how could he do the same willingly to his women?

"Ha…no wonder the Blade of Hatred is considered to be a forbidden weapon that didn't deserve to exist. I don't even want to know how Mevron got his hands on it. Getting the Blade of Love is out of the question as well. He will even kill a fly that enters the wrong door," Yanah said with a head shake.

Seraphina had a vacant look, wondering if Viktor would really suffer for eternity. She couldn't even imagine how tormenting and nightmarish it would be for him.

Not even she would be able to live peacefully while knowing he was in constant suffering.

"What if there is a way to save him?" Yanah asked with a certain glint in her eyes.

Seraphina's eyes immediately lit up as she grabbed Yanah's hands, "There is? Please…tell me!"

Even Viktor felt a bit relieved hearing her words since he thought he was a goner for sure.

Yanah's expression became slightly awkward as she said, "Don't get too excited. First, hear me out. There is no guarantee this would work or if it might make things worse for him. Also, this might seem rude of me, but there is a price for this."

"No matter the price, I will pay it," Seraphina said with firm determination without any hesitation.

"No, no, no. You don't have to pay anything," Yanah said as she shook her finger, but then her gaze landed on Viktor as she said with a subtle smile, "He will be the one to pay for it."

Viktor, who was barely conscious, was still able to listen to what she said and felt that this woman was up to something. However, he felt his consciousness slowly fading away as a pure stream of energy began to flow through his system.

"And what might he have to do for you?" Seraphina innocently asked.
