The Bored Immortal

But he thought that if all these witches were so pretty, then he should definitely pay the Fujo Clan a visit in disguise just to spend some time during his vacation.

"Wait...are you using some beauty spell to maintain your looks?" Viktor asked skeptically..

Nyissa\'s face reddened as she said with a pinched expression, "Of course, not. This is how I really look. Unlike ordinary humans, we have a mystical force flowing through our body which keeps us younger while making us stronger."

"Aha...no wonder Ayana was able to give me a nasty kick before," Viktor now realized why these people were so strong and why they were able to produce strange flames.

"What about you? You are a vampire, but how do you walk around like a human? Back when we were walking through the hills, your body was entirely human. I am sure of it. But I have never come upon any vampires or other non-human beings who could evade my eyes," Nyissa asked with knitted brows since she knew that no vampire could disguise themselves so perfectly as a human before her.

Even her father had mentioned that no matter how powerful a vampire was, they could never pass off as a complete human before a trained eye.

Viktor shrugged, "I don\'t know. I can just kinda turn it off. I only become a vampire if I want to."

Nyissa became even more confused, wondering what kind of a vampire he truly was, especially one who could turn himself into an ordinary human whenever he wanted.

"Even when you were using your vampire abilities, your body was warm, unlike how icy cold a vampire\'s body should be, and how you weren\'t affected by my cursed flames. Only now your body is as cold as it should be..."

She was already starting to feel that he was no ordinary vampire but a very powerful one with strange abilities without the conventional weaknesses of other vampires.

"I have the same questions you do," Viktor shrugged and continued with a wink, "If you could help me get some answers without letting anyone else know, I will owe you one."

Nyissa narrowed her eyes and said, "I will think about it."

Viktor smiled, "But tell me one thing...after living for so long, don\'t you feel bored?" Viktor curiously asked since Nyissa was the first person who experienced life almost as long as he did.

Nyissa knitted her brows, "Bored? Why would I be bored? There is always something for me to do."

"Like?" Viktor asked with a headshake.

"What else other than protecting my land, hunting down evil beings, and training myself to become stronger…*to defeat you*..." Nyissa said as a matter of fact though the last few words she mumbled in her mind only, making Viktor feel as though her life sounded quite busy and....interesting, especially since he never had involved himself in these kinds of things or come upon beings that possessed extraordinary abilities like him.

However, when Nyissa said these things, she accidentally realized some things she didn\'t before.

"Sounds like you are quite the guardian of these lands. I can only pity the evil beings that come under your radar. But I have to ask...am I still evil in your eyes, or do you want to still capture me?" Viktor casually asked.

Nyissa gave a side glance towards him and said in an evasive tone, "There is no need for that now. Since you seem like you have changed for good, I guess there is no need for drastic measures."

But the memory of Viktor destroying the armies of Ranars with her cursed flames and almost killing her flashed in her mind though she decided to take a leap of faith and believe in his words.

She knew that if she didn\'t force him to fight, then none of that would have happened.

"So...you are not going to report to your father or someone else?" Viktor asked with a narrowed gaze.

Nyissa blinked her eyes as she said, "No need for that for now...as long as you continue to be how you are now. Till then, I will personally see if you are not up to anything good."

"Ohh...I love it when things get personal…"

"You!" Nyissa had no idea why she was getting unsettled over every word that was coming out of his mouth.

She then asked the one thing that had been bugging her for a while, "You...how did you survive my blade to your heart? I am quite sure I saw you die."

Viktor smiled and said, "Are you really sure? Maybe even your magic blade is not effective against me, and my heart simply healed."

"That cannot be…" Nyissa mumbled with a perplexed expression as she thought back to the moment Viktor supposedly died and was sure he was unable to heal at that moment.

Still, the proof that he was sitting before her made her think otherwise.

She thought that if a vampire-like him was impervious to all the weaknesses of vampire-like magical flames and blades, then wouldn\'t that make him quite a terrifying character to deal with, especially when it seemed as if there was no way to kill him.

This was also the reason why she decided to not escalate things by reporting Viktor since she didn\'t want a repeat of what happened before and put her clan or the world in danger.

However, for reasons oblivious to her, a certain seed of determination to hide his identity had begun to sprout in her heart.

She was sure that if Viktor continued to be the bloodthirsty person she saw before, then the world would turn into a purgatory of its own.

"They are here," Nyissa suddenly said with a slight smile.

"Master!"

Ayana\'s voice echoed in the small building as Viktor and Nyissa turned their heads to see Ayana and her friends coming in with jubilant expressions after seeing that their Mistress was alright.

They were heavily panting as if they were running around for a long time, but at the same time, they unconsciously stumbled back, seeing Viktor sitting beside Nyissa as if they were old friends.

Nyissa saw their expressions and immediately said, "Ayana, it\'s fine. We are safe for now."

Nyissa subtly gestured to Ayana with her eyes to not act too scared before Viktor.

Ayana got the cue, and even though she was extremely confused while wondering what happened between these two in the meantime, she changed her expression into a normal one while elbowing her friends to act normal as well.

She also knew that Viktor was being himself again, so there was no need to worry for now. However, inwardly she and her friends were fearful of Viktor and considered him as someone they shouldn\'t offend.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Nyissa slowly got up and said, "We have to move now and find a way. It\'s my fault that we wasted so much time here."

Viktor also got up and said, "Nyissa, would you believe me if I said I knew the way to get out of here?"
