Chapter 616: One fight, one training, and two progress.
There are many ways to wake up in life. Victor, since he'd married three beautiful Vampire Wives, usually woke up to some kind of sexual contact.
Yes, he had an active life.
But that wasn't the only way Victor woke up. Sometimes, when Victor advanced in his strength, he usually woke up in a particular way.
The way of 'Scathach'.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
A body flew through the trees, destroying several in the process.
"... Well, this is a good way to wake up." Victor muttered as he found himself lying in a crater with no damage to his body.
Scathach appeared in front of Victor with a big smile on her face.
"I wonder how you managed to get past my senses, Master." Even while sleeping, he kept his senses open for possible attack, this was something Scathach had always taught him.
"Ahh~, my foolish disciple, there are thousands of ways to trick one's senses."
Victor looked neutrally at the woman: "... I call that bullshit."
"Hahaha, you really underestimate how big the world is, my foolish disciple. I also trained to be an assassin, I can be as stealthy as I want. The only one who can match me in the Art of Assassination is Oda Blank, the First Leader of Clan Blank."
"..."
Being able to match someone practically born to be a killer was bullshit!
And to make matters worse, this wasn't even her main trade. Scathach really deserve the title of best 'teacher'. Just how many Arts of War is she experienced in?
'Well, why am I surprised? She's had 2000 years to improve.' Victor asked as he slowly started to get up.
Scathach watched with interest as Victor rose and destroyed the surrounding terrain through his lack of control.
"Okay, foolish disciple. You will fight me just using physical strength." Scathach cracked her neck a little.
"I will beat you so hard that you will learn to walk again." She spoke with the same big smile on her face as she cracked the bones in her hand with a monstrous grip.
"Well, that was pretty sexy." Victor smiled.
"... But."
Scathach's eyes widened when Victor disappeared from in front of her, and appeared beside her.
"Don't underestimate me... Just because I can't control myself."
Scathach instinctively placed both arms in front of her to defend herself.
BOOOOOOOM!
A monstrous punch landed on her crossed guard.
As the older woman flew, she was delighted when she saw the result of Victor's punch, her arms had been broken.
'Interesting~' The woman's blood red eyes flashed.
It wasn't the first time Victor had dealt damage to her, it had happened many times in the past, but she had never taken this much damage from the man as she did in this exchange.
Usually, she just suffered minor cuts, or minor bruises, but two broken arms? All while he was in his base form?
Scathach's smile grew even wider, her smile became more bloodthirsty, she felt a numbing sensation inside her.
... She was excited.
Regaining her center of gravity, Scathach dropped to the ground while looking straight ahead, specifically at Victor who had just arrived.
"Well, Well~, it looks like our training fights from today onwards will be more interesting, my foolish disciple~" Schathach's tone was predatory and seductive. She was looking at the man in front of her as if he were a very succulent piece of meat, a slab of meat she would feast on in every way possible.
Scathach was delighted when she saw Victor's euphoric gaze on her. She felt her insides twist even more as his smile grew, and he spoke:
"Not just our training matches, Master. Remember that you and Aphrodite are the only ones who can handle my full strength right now… Which means our nights will be even more… destructive."
Scathach's face changed to one of shock, and soon changed to realization as she realized what he meant. The image of Victor using that strength while they were 'training' in bed flashed through her mind.
And just with that thought, she realized that the trainings in bed will be even more violent, just the way she liked... Her arousal grew even more, and she started leaking liquids from her private part.
'Fuck, he's going to destroy my cave... He really knows how to cheer me up! As expected, he is the best!'
"That's it... You've achieved your destiny now. You won't get rid of me until I'm completely satisfied" Scathach's long red hair slowly started to float, and the air around her started to get heavier, and suffocating.
Victor had awakened something terrible.
Victor's smile grew when he saw Scathach's condition:
"My beloved master, you took the words right out of my mouth… You won't be getting rid of me any time soon."
Master and disciple looked at each other, pure desire seen in their eyes, excitement radiating from their every pore, competitive spirit exuding from their very presence, and above all, fighting instinct exploded with their every breath.
In the blink of an eye, the two disappeared and crash into each other.
An explosion erupted from their point of impact, a crater formed below them, and once again they disappeared, and appeared in another place, this time clashing against each other's right legs in a devestating kick.
The Martial Arts of the two were mirror copies; they were Master and Student, after all.
The exchange of blows began to get stronger and more destructive.
Their rationality was no longer in control, all that was left was...
Instinct!
The purest, most primal instinct!
"Well, this is ridiculous." Natashia, who was standing on top of a tree, commented as she watched the fight taking place.
"Is that just their physical strength? Damn..." Natashia prided herself on her speed. She believed that, in the Mortal World, there were no Beings capable of matching her speed, and if there were a Being capable of matching her speed in the future, they would be her husband.
"... He's going to be a monster when he masters that strength and applies his speed." Natashia broke out in a cold sweat.
Even if she was crazy, and obsessed with that man, even if she was blinded with love, she still had enough rationality to understand how ridiculous this was.
She had enough rationality to understand how ridiculous the sight before her was.
"A Vampire that hasn't even achieved his first 100 years of life is on a par with Scathach in strength! A woman who has spent over two millennia training!" Natashia could see it. The red haired woman wasn't holding back her strength. She was going all out, and yet... Victor was following after her, matching her strength.
The very feat of matching Scathach's strength in her base form was something to be amazed at. It's a feat only the strongest Alpha Werewolves could achieve, and they were Werewolves! Their Race specialized in Body Physique. They were naturally superior to Vampires in Physical Strength.
Natashia loved Victor with all her heart, she would easily sacrifice an entire planet for his sake, but even she, in all her insane glory, knew that what she was now witnessing was just bullshit!
"... I wonder what would happen if he used his Full Vampire Count Form..." Natashia thought of Victor using his current power combined with the Full Vampire Count Form she'd used in her fight against Niklaus.
And it only took a few seconds for her to understand that she couldn't predict the amount of strength he would have.
After all, the Complete Vampire Count Form multiplied the users strength by 4x. Not to mention that the 'output' of the Power that the user could use was greater. Do not forget the fact that the physical body also gained a great boost of strength and resistance.
After minutes of thinking about this subject, she realized that she couldn't imagine Victor so strong. After all, what she was already seeing now was ridiculous enough.
Sounds of explosions echoed through the area. Trees and land were destroyed, but Scathach and Victor's fight never stopped. The two looked at each other with intensity, and at that moment, only the two existed in their little world.
A world that was made just for them.
"...She seems to be having a lot of fun..." Natashia murmured, and a feeling grew in her heart as she continued to watch this scene:
"So jealous..."
Even though she wasn't as obsessed as Scathach, she still liked to fight. She liked the feeling of getting stronger. But on top of those feelings, she liked being with her husband, and because of that, her feelings of envy couldn't help but rise.
"… Hmm, maybe I should fight him later? Using only our Bloodlines?" Natashia was a practical woman, and who knew what she wanted, she was always faithful to her own desires.
When she felt envy, and wanted to fight Victor in the same way that Scathach was doing now, instead of wasting time on feeling envious, she thought of the training she was going to do with Victor in the future.
After all, she knew her husband well enough to know he would never turn down a fight.
"Hmm? His movements are getting more refined..." Natasha looked on with shock at Victor: "That's fast! Is he already getting his control back?"
Focusing even more on the fight, she noticed something else as well: "Scathach is getting better too..." A cold sweat began to break out on Natashia's face.
In Schathach's case, her amount of progress was imperceptible, but Natashia could see with her senses that saw the world more slowly.
With each exchange of blows, with each fight, Scathach's physical strength and control increased at the same time.
Slowly but steadily, Victor's attacks were no longer breaking Scathach's body, and, while they were leaving bruises, her body was getting stronger the more she was beaten.
Scathach's Martial Arts, that the two combatants practiced, were evolving and improving step by step every second that they clashed, right before Natashia's eyes.
Much to Scathch's pleasure and delight, her and Victor's roles had reversed. It was no longer Victor who was left with a broken body, but Scathach herself.
"... I see... She's utilizing the strength she gained from drinking Victor's blood. I thought she had Mastered that extra strength before, but it seems I was wrong."
At the level of Scathach, for her to Master something, she needed to fight with all her strength, only then would she progress. Which was difficult. After all, you could count on one hand how many people were strong like Scathach in her basic form.
"...No wonder she's so happy now. She's feeling that heady feeling of getting stronger while fighting the man who will be her Husband, and mate."
Natasha laughed in amusement. If she were told that she would be with the same man who would be Scathach's Husband, and her daughter's Husband, she would call the person who told her that crazy, and would laugh as if it were a joke.
"... Haha, things have really changed, huh?" Natashia thought wistfully. Looking at the smiling man who was exchanging blows with Scathach, she couldn't help but mutter:
"I'm really glad you came into this world, Victor…" She couldn't imagine a world where she didn't meet this man. She was so happy and satisfied that sometimes she wondered if it was a dream.
She had her daughter back, and she had someone who was able to understand her, and accept her for who she was, not what she represented.
It was because of reflections like this that Natashia had some thoughts of leaving her entire Clan in Victor's hands.
'He will take good care of them, I know he will... I wonder what face my future daughter will have when she finds out that her sister is also my Husband's wife.' She laughed in amusement thinking about the future of her messed up family, and was content.
Scathach dodged Victor's blow, and punched him in the stomach. For a moment, Victor felt his breath leave his lungs, but quickly ignored that, and punched her in the face.
Blood sprayed from the woman's face, but her smile never left her.
'This is so much fun! He's better! My Husband is the best!'
Scathach punched Victor in the face, and was surprised when she felt him feel even denser than before.
She removed her hand from his face to see a small layer of Ice on his skin, as if it were an extra layer of protection. But that was not what shocked her. She knew that Victor also improved her Martial Arts by training with her daughters. She could also do the same thing. What shocked her was that a whole half of Victor's face had been frozen.
'He's crazy... Isn't he afraid of freezing his brain? It's okay that he'll regenerate, but still.' Scathach narrowed her eyes, and realized that Victor did it unconsciously, because the moment she pulled away, the Ice on his face disappeared, and he was back to normal.
'His body is reacting on its own... Is the World Tree's Energy helping to enhance his Bloodline's Powers? Because of that, he didn't feel anything when he turned half of his face to Ice...?'
Scathach disappeared again, and attacked Victor's back, and she was shocked when she saw a layer of Ice appearing on his back.
'That was too fast! I can only do something like that when I'm in my Vampire Count Form where the output of my Powers is easier...-'
Scathach's eyes widened in shock as she realized something: 'Is he using his Elements as if he were in his Vampire Count Form?'
The pieces in Scathach's head began to fall into place, and suddenly, she smiled even wider:
'Damn monster! Is this really possible!? Damn, he's breaking common sense again! And the worst part is, he doesn't even realize what he's doing!'
'... Do I try to do the same? After all, unlike him, I already have complete control of my Count Vampire Form...' Scathach started to draw the same Power she had when she transformed into her Count Form, and she was surprised that for just a few seconds, it covered her entire hand on ice.
And that included the insides of her hand. But soon after, her hand returned to normal, which was normal; she had never done this before, but that's not what she was shocked about. Tt was that she didn't feel any pain with this feat.
It was very different from what happened when she used Ice through her Martial Arts. This method felt more…natural.
Scathach's heart was beating wildly. She saw a possibility, a possibility to get stronger, all thanks to the man in front of her.
She looked at Victor with eyes that were more predatory and passionate than before.
'Fuck, I love you so much!' A whole new world of possibilities had opened up for Scathach, and she couldn't help but jump like a little girl who'd been given a gift she'd wanted so badly.
The Strongest Female Vampire was progressing to this day... still getting stronger.
And the best part of it all? She was getting stronger by herself, by her own effort, and training. That prospect made her heart sweet as a woman in love.
...Gods have mercy on the fools who will tease her because of it...
Victor turned around, and started attacking Scathach again. He didn't know why Scathach seemed more excited than before, and more bloodthirsty, but he didn't care, he was having so much fun that he didn't care about anything right now, he just wanted... To fight!
