The Bored Immortal

"This is not time for us to entertain your questions, nor does asking them to do you good. If you value your own life and your grandfather's, you have to leave now. We will try our best to save these people, so you don't have to worry about your grandfather," Nyissa said as she maintained her gaze.

Viktor shook his head as he said flatly, "I am not going to leave my grandpa in the hands of some strangers with weapons. You either tell me a way to help him, or I stay and then find out myself whatever the hell is going on here."

"Don't be foolish! This isn't a situation where you can do as you please. Ayana, get him out of here," Nyissa ordered, and Ayana immediately stepped forward to grab Viktor's arm.

But Viktor scoffed and caught her wrist, much to her surprise, and before she could shake him off, he twisted her arm and pushed her away, making her stumble onto her people.

"You!" Ayana's face became red in anger and shame since she never expected him to resist by grabbing her wrist and pushing her away right in front of her Master.

Nyissa raised one of her eyebrows, seeing that this young man was quite skilled since even if Ayana was caught off guard, it was not easy to push her away before she could react.

Ayana gritted her teeth, thinking that it was only because he caught her by surprise. She clenched her fists and rushed towards him again in order to redeem herself for the humiliation she just experienced.

In her eyes, Viktor was just a civilian, and for her to fail the simple task given by her Master was a disgrace for her, feeling afraid that she might look down upon her.

Viktor smirked, seeing this girl rushing towards him with a dark expression. He decided to remain in his human form to not accidentally kill her.

"Hya!" Ayana jumped into the air, and with a shout, she took a mid-air stance as her fist closed in on Viktor's face.

Viktor raised his brows, seeing that this girl was indeed skilled, seeing the stance she was able to make in mid-air, and brought forward his arms to deflect her arm.

The visibility was low because of the thick fog, but both of them seemed unperturbed by it, as if they were used to fighting in low visibility, even if the two could only barely see each other within the fog.

Ayana was surprised by how quickly Viktor reacted as he pushed her fist away with the back of his forearm just as her feet touched the ground.

But she didn't let these surprises distract her since she was trained to adapt according to her opponents' skills instead of leaving her guard open by being awed by his skills and just considered him to be someone who knew some martial arts.

So she immediately took a step back to grab his arm and punch him in the stomach.

Viktor was surprised by her quick movements, but he could still see it coming and grabbed her fist easily before twisting her arm around and pushing her away, making her almost stumble onto Nyissa.

Ayana panicked when she saw that she was about to stumble onto Nyissa and quickly balanced her body to root herself to the ground.

She didn't dare to look at her Master's expression since she was afraid whether she would see a disappointed expression and immediately rushed towards Viktor again, deciding to take him on with full seriousness.

"Girl, you better stand down," Viktor said in a firm tone which irked Ayana even further because she felt he was looking down on her.

Viktor inwardly sighed in frustration, seeing her trying to hit him again with her palms open straight.

Viktor saw that she was using her form of martial arts and stepped forward to parry her moves.

*Thk! Thk! Thk!...*

The two began to exchange moves with their arms while the sound of their arms clashing against each other echoed.

Even though Viktor wasn't completely serious, he had to put some effort since he realized that this girl's expertise was even above some of the best experts he had fought against.

She was so good that if he got distracted for just a second, then she would definitely land a powerful blow. That was why he had to at least put in some focus on her moves, as her barrage of attacks was too quick and powerful for a human.

If it weren't for his heightened senses, he would have been having a hard time defending against her.

Still, her attacks were powerful enough to make his arms feel numb, and likewise, Ayana was also shocked to see that this man was able to keep up with her even if she was using her hand-to-hand combat skills to the fullest.

Viktor was feeling pissed off by these people's attitudes thinking that they could just drag people out no matter what, and decided to end this.

In between their exchange of attacks, Viktor quickly feigned an attack and slapped her cheek lightly with the back of his hand, which startled her enough to distract her mind for a second, allowing Viktor to easily subdue her by his arms and kicked one of her back knees, forcing her to kneel down before him.

Kneeling before him like this in a humiliating position made the extremities of her limbs shake as her pulse began to elevate from rage.

She had never been slapped in the face before, and she could still feel the blood rushing to her slightly reddened cheek.

And the fact that he was holding both her arms together while making her kneel in her Master's presence only made her vision cloud from anger.

"I told you to stay down, and you wouldn't listen. What a shame…" Viktor said with narrowed eyes as he felt a bit of pity looking at this kneeling beauty, who almost seemed as if she was about to cry.

Ayana felt her nerves twitch as she slowly looked up at him and tried to lunge forward, "You...bastard!"

Viktor was surprised by her frenzied attempt at attacking him and felt that he pitied the wrong girl and kicked her stomach, making her eyes widen from the impact as she got thrown off her feet and fell back by a few feet.

"Ughh!"

"You!" Nyissa raised her voice for the first time as ripples of anger appeared in her eyes.
