Chapter 506 Birthday?
Chapter 506 Birthday?
This time, Viktor didn’t give up but put all his focus on maintaining his soul body. Since this extra body was forged from his own soul, he felt it would be right to call it that.
His mind felt like a mountain was pressing down on it, the pressure burrowing into his skull. But he endured it as he stood up, and at the same time, his soul body stood up as well, making him give a shaky smile upon achieving his first step.
He tried moving his arms and his legs and even tried speaking, which his soul body did the same as well, and he could experience it himself.
After some time, he could feel exhaustion settling in his head, but he still pushed on as he wanted to make his soul body do some other actions that were different from what his original body was doing. Only if he could do this successfully would he be able to use this technique to its full potential.
He gritted his teeth as this level of multitasking was taking a huge toll on him. It felt impossible, just like making the eyes look in two opposite directions at the same time.
But he pressed on, and finally, he was able to make his soul body slap his face while he simply stood still.
‘I did it…’ Viktor sighed in happiness, but from that slap, he collapsed as his mind was struck with intense fatigue.
Viktor was feeling very exhausted for the first time in a long time. He never had to push his limits like this, especially mentally, and he felt like his senses were quite dull.
Not long after, he somehow dragged himself to the bed before dozing off for good.

Viktor woke up with a groggy expression and was surprised when Umilia and Taya were standing in his room with bright yet secretive smiles.
He was still feeling better than yesterday night but was still feeling a bit sleepy.
“Happy birthday!” Both of them wished him happily with glowing faces.
Viktor finally came to his senses as he mumbled, “Happy birthday? What are you two talking about?” He also noticed that it was quite early, considering it was 6 am, and these two were wearing summer clothes one would usually wear outside and even seemed to have combed their hair nicely. Were they planning to go somewhere?
Taya rolled her eyes as she sat down beside him, “Did you really forget your own birthday? I know you don’t know the real date you were born but remember how I gave you a birthday based on the day you woke up when my parents found you? Guess what…today is that day,” She said as she held his hand.
Umilia lovingly caressed his face as Taya reminded him. But she knitted her brows when she sensed that Viktor’s odic force flow seemed quite irregular compared to usual.
This made her ask, with a hint of concern in her voice, “What’s wrong, Viktor? You seem a bit out of it.”
Taya’s excitement got toned a bit upon wondering if Viktor was not feeling okay. She got too swept away in her plans for him and didn’t realize that he seemed quite silent after waking up.
The Viktor she knew would have teased or flirted with her the moment he woke up.
Viktor realized that his sleepiness was already making these two overthink and quickly got off the bed as he said in an energetic tone, “It’s nothing. I was just training the new technique I told you guys about.”
“Oh…” Umilia sighed in relief as she understood that this was normal, considering he was practicing such a powerful technique. In fact, it was astonishing that he was still standing.
“But…I am still feeling a little bit bored and sleepy. So since it’s my birthday, I wonder how you two plan to treat me and make me feel on top of the world?” Viktor asked mischievously as he stroked their beautiful cheeks.
Taya and Umilia shyly glanced at each other before Taya whispered in his ears, “You are coming on a weekend trip with us right now, and your gift from us is that you may get the wish you want,” Taya couldn’t believe she was suggesting something so embarrassing while Umilia couldn’t stop blushing, especially upon seeing Viktor’s lips curve into an evil smile as he eyed them both like a predator.
“You two are serious? This is not something like an April fool, right?” Viktor wasn’t expecting these two to offer themselves together on their own like this, especially when they seemed hesitant yesterday.
“Come with us and find out,” Taya said with a seductive smile as Viktor asked, “Alright. You two succeeded in getting my attention, but you both gotta keep your words cause I won’t go easy on you two, even in public. You two ready for that challenge?”
Taya harrumphed as she said, “I know you like the back of my hand. That’s why I planned a trip to a remote country where nobody knows us, and we will be back right after the weekend ends.”
Viktor could guess they must be really going to some rural area for Taya to seem so confident since her face was well known around most parts of the world.
“Then what about Tia and Saya? Won’t they ask questions?” Viktor asked with one of his brows raised.
“Brad is taking the two to some mega park for entertainment. Those two always enjoyed such trips, so they wouldn’t even notice our absence,” Umilia said with a smile.
“You two really all have it planned out. I can guess this was not some impromptu plan,” Viktor said, feeling glad he had such lovely, thoughtful women.
He rubbed his hands together with a smile, “Then, let this be a memorable birthday for me.”

“Where did you two take me?’ Viktor asked with a puzzled look as he found himself standing in a mountainous region with lots of beautiful greenery and fields. Umilia used some teleportation spell to bring him and Taya here.
He squinted his eyes and even saw small settlements here and there, each of them built from simple materials like wood and ordinary stones.
He took out his phone and saw that there was no cell coverage, making him feel certain this was a very remote area indeed.
But hearing no response, he turned around, only to have his eyes sparkle.
