Chapter 460: A worthy opponent. 2
“Let’s Dance.” Victor vanished and appeared in front of the monster, and soon the claws and Odachi clashed.
BOOOM.
An explosion of air was heard all around.
At the same moment, giant mirrors appeared around the gorilla.
“….” The gorilla opened his eyes in shock.
‘Again, space was frozen… But.’
Victor’s body started to slow down.
And the gorilla punched Victor in the face.
BOOOOOM!
Victor flew to the ground and shattered like an ice statue.
The gorilla looked at this sight with strange eyes, he didn’t feel the same feeling as before.
“So predictable.” A voice was heard behind him.
“!?”
“GAHHHHHHHHH!”
Four cuts were seen on the Gorilla’s back.
“Damn, what did you do!?”
Victor didn’t respond and just commented:
“… Impressive, I was intending to rip you to pieces.”
The gorilla turned to face him, and Victor felt the time around him slow down again, but, as he did before, he let his mirror reflection appear, and he felt the influence of time returning to normal. In the same second, he used his speed and disappeared, leaving behind an ice clone of himself.
Something he can only do only in this form. After all, the Vampire Count form was where a Vampire became one with their own power.
As the gorilla needed to ‘see’ Victor for the power to work, by fighting in this way, he could slightly decrease the power of the time effect and act.
‘But it’s just a thoughtless measure, this strategy can easily be destroyed.’
ROAAAAAAAAAR!
The gorilla broke the ice mirrors and threw them at Victor.
Victor waved his hand, and the pieces turned into thorns and returned to the Gorilla.
‘I can’t get him back to the ground either, he’s being cautious…’
With the Vampire Count transformation, he’d managed to lessen the influence of space on the gorilla’s power. He didn’t know exactly how it worked, it was just something he imitated after all.
He used all of his abundant energy to ‘freeze’ the air around him.
Which somehow prevented the gorilla from teleporting too close to him.
‘I’m glad I saw that fight with Inari and my master…’ Victor was a quick learner. He wasn’t a genius who mastered everything when he saw the technique only once, but he managed and had enough wisdom to get out of a bad situation and make situations advantageous.
“Valkyries, let’s clean up these monsters. Use the weapons on the ground.” Rose gave the command.
“Yes!”
Alexa was the first to move as she grabbed an ice spear.
She threw it so hard that all the monsters in front of her were pierced.
‘…This Spear is so durable!’ She was shocked by the strength of this ice.
Wasting no time, she used her speed and easily killed the trapped behemoth.
The girls around were doing similar things Alexa did.
They knew that these weapons couldn’t kill the monsters permanently, but they didn’t need to. They just wanted them to stand still and become lambs to the slaughter.
“…” Slowly a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the faces of all the Valkyries present.
They were loving it. It was so easy, like gutting a helpless chicken.
And it can be said that the woman who was most happy with this development was Eleanor.
She jumped through the hordes of monsters, picked up any random ice weapons from the ground, and threw them at the monsters, momentarily paralyzing them, then used her Greatsword and split the monsters in half.
“Hahahahaha~” Disgusting blood fell on her face, but she didn’t care. She was loving it.
‘As expected, it was the right choice to bring him to this place!’
Alpha’s appearance? Wasn’t completely unexpected. That gorilla and the other monsters she’d never seen in the entire history of Clan Adrastea? A little impressive.
But nothing was more important than to kill these creatures.
And for the first time ever, she and the Valkyries crossed the 30,000 km limit!
She was so happy that her body was occasionally shaking.
‘He won’t stop here, right? Right!? He has to go on, wrong… We have to go on.’ She was so wrapped up in her murderous thoughts that she didn’t realize the implications of her words.
Another girl who was utterly enjoying this situation was Anrietha.
As she wielded her strange greatsword that used her shield as a scabbard, she reveled in slaying the monsters.
With Victor in the group, she didn’t have to focus entirely on support, and only she knew how happy she was about that.
While the Valkyries were ecstatic for the pleasure of slaying monsters,
Rose was looking at the fight between Victor and the gorilla.
‘His Odachi skills are decent, but… He lacks intention, if it were me, that gorilla would have disappeared from the face of these lands…’ Rose thought.
‘…As expected, he has a lot of potential and a lot of destructive power, but most of his techniques are green, require refinement, are young, and are not completely mastered. He has so much power that he must spend most of his time trying to control that power and improve it…’ By calmly analyzing Victor’s fight with the Gorilla, she could tell what the boy lacked and everything he needed in time.
‘It’s amazing that he reached such a level at such a young age… Who am I kidding? This is monstrous, this much talent is ridiculous.’ She looked around and saw a whole white landscape.
‘It’s like I’m watching the power of Scathach.’ Turning her attention to Victor.
“…This monster should definitely be cataloged. The power of teleportation and stopping time around its body and field of vision is too dangerous to ignore.”
Rose was pretty sure that if it wasn’t for Victor fighting, the girls wouldn’t have an easy time since he’d taken the most troublesome opponent for himself.
She believed that only she or Eleanor could handle this monster, her because of her sword skills that have reached absurd levels, and Eleanor because of the very nature of her powers.
Of all the houses of Vampire Counts, Eleanor’s power was the most dangerous if stretched to the limit.
It could literally destroy an entire continent by moving the planet’s tectonic plates causing seismic tremors that would extend across an entire continent.
ROOOOOOOOOOAR!
“Damn creature, stop dodging like an annoying insect!”
“…” Victor flashed a cold smile when he saw the gorilla’s state. He had cuts all over his body, and even though these cuts were slowly healing, it was still very slow compared to the normal regeneration of higher level monsters.
“How about no?” He laughed as he pointed his finger at the gorilla, and suddenly, thousands of ice spikes appeared around him.
“How about some harmless rain?”
“…Harmless…” The gorilla felt like choking when he heard Victor’s words, a demonstration that Victor was capable of making even a stone spit blood due to how shameless he was.
“Go.” With a little order from Victor, all those ice spikes flew towards the Gorilla.
“Humpf, don’t underestimate me.” The gorilla raised all four of his hands behind him and clapped all four hands together.
BANG.
FUSHHHHHHHHHHHH.
With the pressure caused by the monster’s palms, all the ice spikes were evaporated from existence.
“…Oh?” Victor’s smile grew.
“In that case, what are you going to do about this?”
Victor snapped his finger, and thousands of thorns appeared again.
Now, this time it was a little different.
The entire space around the gorilla, be it front, back, bottom, top, right, or left, was completely filled with sharp spikes.
“… This is ridiculous.”
“Get used to it.”
“Fuck you!!!”
“A very foreign word to hear coming from a monster.” Victor laughed, and with a wave of his hand, all the spikes flew towards the Gorilla.
“It seems that the act of swearing is something universal.”
