Chapter 461: A worthy opponent. 3
"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."
The gorilla assumed a defensive stance and defended itself from the spikes coming towards it.
'He's aiming for my eyes, fool. Do you think I don't know my weakness?'
Despite hurting his entire body, these wounds didn't cause mortal damage because they didn't have the anti-monster properties that those weapons had, so his body was regenerating from that damage easily,
A few seconds passed, with the gorilla just being defensive until he got angry.
"Enough!"
ROAAAAAAAAAAAR
He roared as he slammed his chest, and, with the thumps in his chest, the crash destroyed all the ice spikes.
The reaction was instantaneous, as the entire battlefield became 'bright' with tiny thin ice crystals falling around like snow.
"Finally an opening, motherfucker." Victor appeared in front of the Gorilla.
"...Eh-." And Victor's bloodthirsty grin was the last thing the monster saw before it got its eyes slashed.
SLIT
"GAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
'Looks like he just wasn't wasting energy, that whole show was for this moment, huh... Good.' Rose smiled in amusement.
"HAHAHAHAHA~, Now, things are going to get a little fairer." Victor kicked the monster in the head. He wasn't going to miss this chance, he was going to kill him!
The gorilla flew to the ground, and when he hit the ground, a gigantic crater was opened.
"Bloody bug!" The gorilla got up off the ground and tried to feel around, and soon he heard a voice behind him.
"How rude, if you're going to compare me to an animal, how about a leech?"
He roared angrily and tried to turn around to attack Victor.
Correct, he tried...
"Although, my master says that names of techniques help in the quick imagination of our abilities."
Victor disappeared and moved in front of the monster's giant head:
"I never gave a name to this technique whose creation was inspired by an attack by my beloved wife..."
The monster turned around and attacked Victor.
"Although it is a technique that reaches its full potential when I use my lightning, I can still use it in this form... Out of respect for a strong opponent that caused me a lot of difficulties, I will use my strongest Odachi technique to kill you."
He sheathed the Odachi and assumed an IaiJutsu pose.
He took a deep breath, and everything around him started to slow down. Even the fist coming towards him from the right seemed to take forever to arrive.
The moment Victor let out his breath, he unsheathed the Odachi at a speed invisible to the naked eye and slashed in front of him, and in the very next instant, he slowly sheathed his sword.
Time seemed to stop around the monster, as several white cuts appeared around and all over the monster's body.
The moment Victor sheathed the Odachi completely, everything returned to normal.
"Wha-..." The gorilla's body started to crack, not even feeling what had happened.
"You were a worthy opponent. You helped me realize my own weakness and powerlessness in this fight, you helped me get stronger, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that."
"Sleep tight, Old Friend." Victor turned around, and his transformation unraveled.
At that moment, the monster's entire body began to fall to the ground in pieces.
"...Scathach really made him a warrior of honor..." Rose flashed a small satisfied smile. Victor was a rare creature these days.
An honorable warrior, something seen only in the great heroes of the past.
'You really were born at the wrong time, Second Progenitor...'
Landing softly beside Rose, Victor placed the Odachi on his back and asked.
"Status?"
"The fight is almost over, the horde is not a problem for the girls, but these predators are annoying."
"Mmm..."
"What are you going to do now?"
"Rest, regain our strength, and continue."
"... Are you sure?"
"Yes." Victor said:
"But before continuing, we must make a temporary checkpoint."
"…Are you going to use this city?"
"Yes."
"In this fight, we learned a lot, and I agree with you. We cannot proceed recklessly." Rose learned from the near-deaths of the girls and from Victor himself.
And it looked like the man did too.
"Have you learned your shortcomings?"
"Yes, I have to learn a way to deal with space and time, I'll put that on my list of future worries…"
'Time, space, and Aphrodite's charm, things I can't get over without due time…' Victor felt like sighing now.
"… Just for your knowledge, even most Gods would have a problem with that monster. You did very well."
"My master would have frozen him along with space and time and killed him easily. That's still not enough."
"...She's not-..." Rose fell silent, rethought about Scathach's prowess, and spoke, "Actually, I think she would be able to do that."
"I should be able to do something similar to avoid this kind of technique in the future."
"... You charge yourself a lot, Victor. You have only been alive a few years."
Victor gestured as if he had no choice, "I have to do this, or I won't be able to defeat my master and have her as my wife."
"...." Rose choked on her own saliva, shocked by what she heard.
Looking at Judy and Julieta, who were having little problems with invisible enemies, Victor spoke:
"I'm going to give them a hand." He knew they weren't in danger. If given time, they could eliminate everything, but he didn't want to do nothing.
Looking at Victor's back as he jumped towards the girls, Rose didn't know what to think.
'Having a man become strong just to defeat you, and have your hand in marriage... Scathach, you bitch, you're so lucky!' Rose felt jealous now.
It might not seem like it, but that was a popular thing back then. It was like every strong woman's wet dream.
They all wanted to have a handsome, strong, and talented man chasing them.
The stronger a Supernatural woman grew, the higher her standards became, and this was the case for Rose as well.
So it was no exaggeration to say that she had this dream too...
"Judy, give me your gun." Victor said as he approached the girls.
"…Do you know how to use this?"
"Of course." He watched the woman using her weapon for a long time, and, despite not being able to use the weapon's special power, since it can only be used by the Adrastea bloodline, he could still use it normally.
"Okay." She tossed the two Deagle towards Victor and removed her daggers from her thighs.
"Sweet." Victor turned the weapons in his hand a few times, threw both weapons into the sky, grabbed the weapons again, then pointed the weapons at the monsters and focused his energy on the two Deagle.
"..." Judy pursed her lips when she saw the way Victor handled the Deagles, he was very casual.
Victor's violet eyes began to glow, and he located the monsters and their visible weaknesses. He smiled a little and spoke while pulling the trigger:
"Jackpot."
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Honestly, Victor expected a small beam of light like Judy, he didn't expect that.
A giant beam of red light passed through all the monsters in a straight line.
It wasn't as destructive as Judy's special attack, but it was still ridiculous.
"...I swear on all that is most sacred that I just put in a little energy." Victor quickly spoke to Judy, who was looking at Victor with a strange glint in her eyes.
"...So... This was just a casual shot...?"
"Yes... I mean, I just put in a 'little' energy, I know I shouldn't overdo it, or your Deagles will break."
"… Just how much energy do you have? Are you a fucking drummer?"
"I honestly wanted to know, then it would be a lot easier to train." Victor spoke with a sigh.
He had to base everything on 'feeling' and success and failure. It was stressful at times.
"Hmm?" Looking at the Deagles, he saw that both guns had overheated...
"...at least they're not broken." He whispered as he released some of the ice's power to cool the weapons.
