The Bored Immortal

Chapter 147 - A Prime Vampire?



Ayana had a confused look, wondering what he had to talk about with her Master, but she didn't ask and was happy that he agreed to help her when she didn't have much confidence if he would.

Little Ghost let out a sigh of relief inwardly, seeing that Viktor was getting along with the Fujo Clan people, and silently followed them from a distance.

She felt that Viktor might indeed succeed getting Nyissa's help since he did help out her people and hoped everything would be alright soon.

Ayana's friends slowly got up and looked at the handsome man with a certain devilish charm walking beside Ayana and asked in confusion, "Ayana, who…"

Ayana explained, "He is a vampire, and we can use his help to find our mistress. But first, let us take care of our fallen ones," Ayana said with a pained expression as she looked at the two dead bodies, a man and woman.

Since she was brought up in a close community circle, she was well acquainted with everyone, if not most, at least the ones who trained with her.

Ayana clasped her hands together and closed her eyes as she began to mumble something.

The others, meanwhile, placed the two bodies next to each other and waited for Ayana.

Within a few moments, black flames burst out of Ayana's palms which he directed towards the two corpses, which immediately was set aflame.

Viktor knitted his brows, wondering if they usually cremated people like this, and asked, "You people don't bury the dead?"

Ayana answered as she stared at the burning corpses, "We believe that burying bodies may only encourage the souls of the dead to not leave the earth and increase the likelihood of becoming an evil spirit. Besides, burying their bodies in a hell like this would be just torture for them, and they might even turn into Ranars. We definitely wouldn't take that chance."

Viktor nodded, feeling that it made sense, and then looked at the corpses which had already turned into black dust and disappeared into nothingness in such a short amount of time.

He became even more curious about these strange and powerful flames since ordinary flames wouldn't be able to reduce a human corpse to ashes so fast.

Still, seeing how Ayana and the others weren't breaking down, he felt that either the ones who died might not have been that close with them or that these people were used to seeing people die.

However, Viktor was interested in visiting their clan some other time out of curiosity.

"You have to move quickly. I can see some Ranars coming your way after sensing the commotion," Little Ghost's voice suddenly echoed in Viktor's mind, who knitted his brows as he said to them, "We have to go. There are others coming our way."

"How do you know?" Ayana asked in a confused tone.

"It is a personal secret. Rules, sorry," Viktor said with a shrug as he walked ahead.

"Hmph," Ayana pinched her lips as she gestured to her friends, "Let's go. We can't afford to get attacked by a mob of Ranars again," Ayana knew she had no choice but to follow Viktor, and seeing his excellent fighting capabilities and powers, she felt that he was their ace card for now.

The five of them quickly left the shore and entered the barren woods since the Ranars were apparently only walking near the black river and also the place Viktor first arrived at.

It was as if they were standing around to guard something because Ayana explained that Ranars are not usually organized and simply roam wherever they could to attack any souls and devour them.

Viktor learned that the Ranars were a strange species, powerful in a weird way who had the capability to feed on souls.

So if an ordinary dead soul was found to be around these evil species, then their soul would be torn apart by them, causing even more misery or might get turned into one of them.

"So, how old are you?" Ayana curiously asked since he was a vampire while her friends also perked their ears as if they had rarely or may not have come upon a vampire before.

They were also impressed by how skilled and fast he was while fighting all those Ranars on his own. It was as if they were seeing a war god.

Viktor smiled and said, "Isn't it rude to ask a man like me his age?"

Ayana pursed her lips, "Fair enough. Forget I asked, hmph."

Viktor amusedly chuckled and said, "Physically, even I am not sure, but mentally I am over 1000 years, you could say."

Viktor then knitted his brows as he suddenly sensed their steps ceasing and looked behind to see them looking at him with a stupefied look.

Ayana squinted her eyes and said in a tone of disbelief, "You must be messing with me. There is no way you can be a Prime."

"Prime?" Viktor asked with a confused expression since he was hearing that term for the first time.

"A Prime Vampire. Usually, the older a vampire is, the more powerful they are, and those who are 1000 or more years old are known as Prime Vampire, and they are quite rare. Also….Wait a sec...if you are really a Prime Vampire, how come you don't know these things? Hmph, I knew it! You are just a rogue vampire who may not be even a hundred years old," Ayana asked in a doubtful tone.

Viktor, however, was busy thinking about the things she said other than her last sentence because he just found out that they were indeed other vampires walking the earth.

But what puzzled him was how come he never came upon any single one of them. He knew if they were keeping tabs, they would have got wind of his supernatural abilities all those years ago when he was only learning to control his powers.

But he wondered why they never tried to communicate with him or at least let him know that there were others like him. He felt as if he purposefully got ignored, and this made him curious.

"Well, I am actually kind of a lone wolf. So I have not really been in touch with any other vampires. Where do you think they might be now?" Viktor asked casually.

"No way...even if you are a banished one, you would have still known the common knowledge every vampire knows unless...you have been an outcast from birth and made to walk through the lands like any other Regular," Ayana said in a thoughtful tone.

Viktor inwardly sighed, seeing that he couldn't hide his lack of knowledge from her since everything he heard just now was new to him.

He still asked, "Alright, you are right. I don't know any other vampires out there. How do I find them?" Viktor was keen to meet other vampires so that he could learn more about himself, especially the memories he was desperately seeking for all these years.

Ayana shook her head as she said in a firm tone, "I can't say that since you are basically a Regular since you seem to have lived all these years as one. And as per our clan rules, we shouldn't involve Regulars in matters that they are ignorant of."

"Are you serious?" Viktor had to admit he was getting quite frustrated about their stupid clan rules, especially when he was no ordinary being.

Ayana shrugged, "Sorry, I am already under enough heat from my Master for kicking you like that before. But since you are not a human, I hope she will be lenient with her punishment later," Ayana said with a worried sigh.

Viktor could see that if there was one thing she was afraid about, it was her Master, Lady Nyissa.

He wondered how someone that young who didn't look much older than Ayana herself could be her master unless…

'Haa...the world is way weirder than I thought,' Viktor inwardly sighed. 

He also noticed how Ayana's friends had grimacing expressions as they continued to sweat profusely while Ayana relatively seemed in way better shape.

He knew that it was the environment here that was making them uncomfortable, but he guessed that they had some secret method to mitigate the harsh effects of this hellish environment.

"So, any idea where to find her? As far as I know, this place is way too big for us to search every corner," Viktor still was feeling a bit restless because of not only the uncomfortable feeling inside his mind but also the fact that his foster parents might still be undergoing torture in the mansion.

Ayana squinted her eyes as she said, "Master is near. I can feel it."

"You can feel it? You really talk weird but won't explain anything to me. How strange…" Viktor shook his head with a sigh.

Ayana subtly smiled with her eyes closed but didn't say anything as they continued to walk.
