The Bored Immortal

Chapter 179 - Borin’s Lifeline



But thinking about the dark orange flames Borin possessed, Viktor still had no idea how to circumvent his weakness.

Nyissa saw the look on Viktor's face from afar and was able to understand his worries.

"Viktor, you don't have to be wary of any flames. Destroy him without holding back," Nyissa shouted, whose words astonished Viktor, though he then realized that Nyissa must have put some spell on his body to make him immune to magical flames when they were in the cage together.

But he knew this was probably temporary, and it would wear off soon. He realized he would have to take down Borin before her spell wears off.

Borin's eyes shook as he heard Nyissa's words since her words were like the words written in his death warrant.

He suddenly lost half of his confidence in killing Viktor since he was depending on a vampire's weakness to flames to kill him.

But if Viktor no longer had such weakness, then wouldn't he have any more advantage over him?

"No...I still have the Esteemed One's power. You are not a match for it," Borin said with newfound confidence as he looked down at Viktor.

Viktor could see that Borin had some kind of inexplicable confidence in this 'Esteemed One' and was curious of their true identity and why they were helping this pig.

Viktor narrowed his eyes and scoffed, feeling a wave of confidence and determination filling his entire body and mind since he could fight without holding back without worrying about getting burned.

Razor-sharp silver claws began to extend from his nails, making Borin feel a bit confused since he didn't expect a vampire-like him to have such long sharp claws.

Just a look from it made him feel goosebumps all over and he had no doubt that it could slice through iron like butter.

Viktor immediately lunged towards Borin, who was almost four meters tall to claw at his neck.

Borin immediately swung his blazing hammer at Viktor to smash his head. But Viktor skillfully grabbed the head of his hammer and, using it as a support, he raised his right leg and gave a powerful kick towards Borin's face, making his skin ripple with the immense force behind his kick.

However, Borin only stumbled back by a meter, much to Viktor's surprise, who realized that the power Borin gained from the so-called Esteemed One was no joke.

He could see that Borin was many times stronger than before and was not only as strong as a huge monster but was also literally looking like one.

Borin squinted his eyes, deciding to use one of his strongest attacks as he raised his hammer high with both his hands as waves of dark orange energy began to swirl around his hammer.

Viktor suddenly felt as if some force was trying to lock down his body, especially his movements but resisted as he stepped backward, though his movements looked sluggish.

Viktor frowned, seeing that he was too near to Broin and his hammer's imminent attack seemed like Borin was going all in. Borin's heavy hammer seemed to have grown even larger in size as the flames continued to become bigger and wilder till it was scorching hot as the sun.

"Haha, you are trapped, General!" Borin let out a frenzied laugh as he brought down his blazing heavy hammer on Viktor.

Sae had momentarily become unconscious though her eyes seemed to move behind her eyelids as she tried to wake up after gathering whatever strength was left in her.

Nyissa, who had her hands full with restraining Oben, called out, feeling a sinking feeling in her chest, "Viktor!"

Viktor clenched his teeth as he saw that his movements were too sluggish to dodge in time and had no choice but to put up his arms to block Borin's powerful attack.

*BOOOM!!*

*CRACK!*

The blazing hammer struck down on Viktor as waves of dark orange energy spread in every direction, making the ground shake as well.

The sound of the ground under Viktor's feet cracking and crumbling echoed, and when the dust cleared away, everyone was surprised to see that Viktor blocked the hammer with his own two hands though most of the flesh of his arms was burned away.

Borin was shocked that his strongest attack didn't even crush Viktor but only burned away his flesh till the bones.

However, his arms already began to heal rapidly, which shocked Borin even more since he never expected vampires to have such powerful healing abilities. Sure, they could heal fast as well compared to ordinary beings, but not fast enough like this, especially after getting burned by magical flames.

Within just five seconds, Viktor's arms were already back to normal, and Borin realized that Nyissa wasn't joking when she shouted out to Viktor about not having to worry about getting burned.

Nyissa's expression relaxed, seeing that her spell worked and Viktor was no longer affected by flames. At least for now.

Viktor curled his lips as he held the head of Borin's hammer and continued to press down on it with all his strength.

Borin frowned, wondering what Viktor was up to and why his grip was so damn strong.

"Ngh!! What the hell are you trying to do?!"

Borin clenched his jaw as he exerted all his strength to shrug off Viktor's hands away from his hammer.

But Viktor scoffed as he continued to hold the hammer with his hands, and cracks started to appear surprisingly.

Borin's eyes quivered, seeing cracks forming across his hammer. It was as if he considered it even more precious than his life.

"NO!!" Borin roared, seeing that the cracks were spreading on his hammer, and Viktor smiled, realizing that what Sae told him was indeed true.

"This hammer is your lifeline, right? No wonder you were healing like that? As long as this hammer stays intact, so will you....don't tell me your soul is inside this hammer?" Viktor asked as his lips curved into a dark smile.
