The Bored Immortal

"I knew it…" Viktor shook his head as he saw a pretty face he had seen before. She was dressed in a shiny yet sexy blue dress and had a spear pointed at him, "My, my…If it isn't for the rich rabbitma—Ah, I mean, human. How surprising…" Narin said as she scanned Azu top to bottom and continued, "Surprised I am here?"

Viktor smirked and said, "I knew that bitch would try to kill me the first chance she would get. So if she can't kill me in her room, then why not order her guard dog to kill me?"

Viktor expected Ara to do something like this and understood why she seemed quick to give in when he told her that he was leaving with the fruit. Somebody like her who knew how important this fruit was to Mevron wouldn't give it up so easily, even if it meant her secret might get exposed.

"Did you just call me a…guard dog?" Narin asked with a high chin. She was one of the strongest adventurers in this town, and being belittled by a fraud was just a slap on her face.

However, she realized she was getting worked up over some nobody and scoffed, "I was planning to make your death quick and easy. But since you have a big mouth, I will rip out your tongue first before you die," Saying so, Narin swirled her spear as she confidently walked towards Azu.

She wasn't the least bit worried about taking care of him since she had already used her senses to figure out he was just a powerless human. There was no hint of odic force in his body, and this only made her realize that the so-called Goblin Slayer was a fraud indeed who was basking in the achievement of a dead adventurer.

But what puzzled her the most was what he was doing in the room of her boss and why her boss even let him steal the fruit in the first place. However, she was, in the end, her subordinate and had no business in finding out the cause for all this.

All Ara ordered her was to finish him silently the moment he came out and take back the Fruit of Youth.

Viktor wasn't worried about her since he got the fruit and also signaled Sera to leave as soon as possible. But what he was worried about was if he could escape out of this place quick enough before Ara or someone else tried to hunt him down.

He was sure Ara wouldn't sit still after she realized the fruit was still with him.

"It's been a while since I killed a woman. What a shame," Viktor nonchalantly said as he flexed his neck, making Ara feel a grave sense of danger for a split second. But she shrugged off this feeling, disappointed at herself for getting intimidated by a Regular.

She only thought that he was still trying to act cool before he died as a pathetic attempt to scare her off.

Narin said as she raised her spear, planning to stab right at his mouth, "I am going to cut right through your mouth. You won't die quick, but—"

"I don't have time to listen to your crap," Viktor said in a bored tone as his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, much to Narin's shock.

Before she could react, he was already standing in front of her, his crimson eyes looking at her as if he was looking at a dead person.

"Blechhhh!" Narin suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood, and the blood just kept on coming, though what made her body go weak was when she took a look at her chest and saw a huge gaping red hole.

*Tu-tump…Tu-tump…Tu-tump…*

The sound of her own heart beating so loudly within her made her feel a sense of coldness spreading through her chest.

"Ugh, now I have to clean my hand," Viktor said casually as he walked past before sprinting off. He couldn't bother to waste any more time here.

He couldn't believe someone like Narin was a top adventurer. Real warriors never underestimate their opponents, especially when they don't know who the other person really was. This made him realize that simply having prowess of using odic force wasn't everything,

Narin would have lasted longer if she had her guard up, but Viktor took advantage of her arrogance to finish her off nice and quick before she could even think of getting serious.

Narin's eyes were still widened to their extremities as she looked at the bloody hole on her chest. Before she could even process what just happened, her body collapsed on the ground like a piece of log, her eyes still open as all signs of life left them.

Meanwhile, a minute or two ago, Seraphina was giving it her all to suppress her anxiety and worries, especially since it seemed like it had been a long time since Viktor left.

Mevron also had left the hall, and she did send a signal to Viktor before but still got no response even till now.

But right when she was deciding on whether to use her powers to check Viktor's whereabouts, she received a signal on her bracelet, which confirmed to her that Viktor was alright and that he had the fruit as well!

A sense of heat radiated through her chest as she felt that the fate of her realm was no longer bleak. She controlled her tears of happiness when Yanah patted her arm and said, "It seems that your husband has completed his mission. You can leave now. I can see that whatever you came here for was quite important to you."

Seraphina didn't know what to say as she saw Yanah looking at her with a smile.

"Come. Let's go out towards the hall together, so nobody will suspect that you left a slave all alone," Yanah said as she handed over the chain to Seraphina, who softly nodded as she began to head towards the exit.

Seraphina knew the Siren Queen was formidable, but still, she wondered if she would be really alright, especially with Mevron and so many enemies standing here. She still didn't know what Yanah planned to do here, but since it was her wish, she decided to respect that.

But right before the two were about to leave few guards suddenly rushed in and blocked the exit,

"Sorry for the inconvenience, everyone. But the President has ordered that nobody shall leave until a criminal who broke into our union building gets arrested," The guards announced in a loud enough voice as Seraphina clutched the ends of her dress in nervousness, "No…"
