Chapter 344 How Many Immortals Like Me Are Out There?
Viktor said in an understanding tone, “It’s fine…especially after everything your race went through…it’s understandable if you want to be cautious. There is nothing I want to hide anyway. But after looking through my life, did you learn what you wanted?” Viktor could feel that Seraphina didn’t have any bad intentions in looking through his life, and even if she did, she could have simply not told him.
Seraphina gently nodded as she said, “I learned that you would never hurt us even with a past like that. Even if you had blood on your hands, it was never really because you chose to. You just always ended up in bad circumstances to the point I wonder why fate has been so cruel to you. And the main reason is that death cannot conquer you. How strange…I have never seen anyone like that, but I did hear about one like that…”
Viktor’s brows furrowed as he immediately asked, “And who might be that?”
”Our Spirit Guardian…that is what we hail him as. He was the one who saved our realm from destruction during the ancient times,” Seraphina said with a hint of worship and respect in her tone.
”Can you tell me more about him?” Viktor felt interested since he heard another name that was supposedly an immortal like him. He never knew there could be so many like him.
Seraphina smiled as if she was happy to answer him and said, “He is someone we fairies pray to daily other than our Holy Godmother since even if he is not present among us physically, we believe he is still looking after us from afar. According to our ancient records, he was actually a guest like you…someone who didn’t belong to our race or anything. However, when our realm got in trouble, he appeared and saved our realm and was so powerful he used his divine abilities to split our realm to make it separate from others. He did that so our world can exist separately, away from those filled with greed, seeking death and destruction.”
”He sounds like a badass,” Viktor was awed that this guy could split entire realms just like that and curiously asked, “After that, what happened to him? Where is he now?”
Seraphina’s face became a bit dull as she said in a doleful tone, “Nobody knows. He suddenly just left though we still eagerly await his return. But we are not sure about what really happened since all this was millions of years ago…very far back in time.”
”Oh…” Viktor felt that all these three immortals he learned about seemed to have existed very long back in time. At the same time, he remembered that the place he had been sleeping for centuries was also millions of years old and wondered why he ended up in that place.
”Do you have any idea why I am immortal? I just could never figure it out,” Viktor said with a sigh.
Seraphina looked at him as she gently said, “I am sorry. I am unable to see why death is afraid of you. But one thing I am sure of is that your body emanates the purest aura I have ever felt, even if it is very faint. I have never felt this from any other being. And even this realm seems to have formed a harmony with you even though you might not realize it. I don’t know if this is the reason why the Holy Godmother wanted you to stay.”
”Then, can you find out how old I am?” Viktor always was confused about his own age and wanted to know the exact number so that he could get an idea of how old he truly was.
Seraphina nodded as she faintly rotated her palm in the air in front of Viktor. But the next moment, her soft pink lips slightly parted as if she was surprised to learn something, “I…I don’t know how this could be…your odic aura seems to be only a few months old. It is as if you were only recently born.”
”Like a baby? What the…Is this bad?” Viktor had a dumbfounded expression since he never expected to hear that he was only a few months old, even though he obviously didn’t believe that. He thought that maybe this had something to do with how he died in the Naraka Realm a few months ago, and since he came back to life, it was probably like a rebirth or something.
Seraphina immediately shook her head and said, “No…this is, in fact, good in a way. Everybody knows that the more pure your aura is, the higher potential you will have to grow. That is why babies have the highest potential to develop since they need it. But seeing it in you…it just seems so strange. Maybe this has something to do with your special case of immortality.”
Viktor nodded, agreeing to her statement, and then asked, “Do you happen to know about anyone else other than your Spirit Guardian that was or is immortal like me? Could be in the past and the present as well.”
Seraphina’s expression became contemplative before saying, “I am not actually sure since we are living in a realm far and separate from others, but from what I heard, the deities the vampires and werewolves worship were said to be unkillable, though it was all in the ancient era. Ah, there is also a figure greatly feared by the humans, including the mages and witches. He went by the title the Crazed Immortal of Death. The humans feared him so much that the ones who still know about him don’t even dare to mention him lest they get struck down by his wrathful hellish power. They didn’t even mention him in their historical records as they felt that even that was no different than courting death. So they decided it was best if everyone forgot such an immortal existed, and that is why most of them now don’t even know such a terrifying figure even existed.”
Viktor took a deep breath as he wondered if this was why Nyissa never knew about this being that not only her people but every human once feared in the past.
He then decided to ask her something he had been keeping in his mind for a while, “Do you know who Eli or Tara is?”
