“What are you?” Victor asked, and for the first time since Werzelya knew Maggie, she felt a trace of emotion from her.

‘What was that just now? There was definitely something.’ Werzelya thought in her mind. As far as she knew, Maggie never seemed to even have any emotions in her. She just was incapable of it.

The atmosphere seemed to tense up for a bit as Maggie and Victor just stared at each other with blank expressions, but then just some seconds later and the tension disappeared.

‘Too dangerous. He is a threat.’

In a split second, Maggie who was standing still before Victor moved in a zip and her hand was just about to pierce Victor’s chest, but he managed to dodge the attack by turning his body sideways and guiding her hand away with one arm. The speed at which she moved was almost untraceable by Victor, but thanks to his skills that made it possible to keep up in such situations, he was perfectly fine.

‘That movement, can he read my attacks? That easily?’ Maggie thought to herself.

It did take some effort to dodge the speed Maggie used, but with the help of his sixth sense skill, Victor was able to tell that she was going to attack just a split of a second before she did, and began shifting his body on time.

As soon as Victor avoided that surprise attack, he didn’t waste anytime before he activated his perception skill. With this skill activated, Victor’s perception of time became even slower than it already was, and he could read now, where Maggie was going to attack or do next.. except, that was how it was supposed to be.

His analytical skills that came with the perception skill proofed to be almost useless, as the way it worked was for him to read the different movements of the opponent’s body movements, from muscle contractions, breaths, facial expressions, change of balance, and all that, and with all that information, he would be able to tell exactly where or what the person was going to do next. Of course, this skill had it’s limitations, but that was only if the opponent knew Victor had this skill, and even when they knew, if they have not at hand the method to counter it, their knowledge is useless.

The problem now however, was that Victor couldn’t read any of the things he would normally be able to. From muscles, to facial expression, to breathing, and every other thing that he normally looked out for, Maggie seemed not to have any of those. ‘What did I even expect from a plant monster that evolved in a weird way?’

Maggie being the evolved plant monster that she was, she didn’t have things comparable to a normal creature’s physiology.

All these deductions, Victor made in his mind, all in that moment where he dodged the stab Maggie made with her fist.

As Victor leaned back a bit and to the side, this time a lot more comfortable than he was when he evaded the attack initially, he delivered a kick of his own. Now, unlike Victor who dodged, Maggie couldn’t evade such a fast attack at such close range, so she was blasted away by Victor’s kick.

‘I did put enough power into it.’ Thought Victor, as he saw that Maggie had seemingly broken, literally, after he kicked her away.

Before he completed that thought though, and before Maggie even met the floor, her body that than broken apart into at least five pieces sprung out vines, and by the time she hit a metal pillar, she was back in one piece.

‘Now that’s the regenerative capability I’m looking for.’ Victor said in his mind, all the while his face being none expressive, and so was Maggie’s.

In that moment where Maggie’s body hit the metal pillar, and she was just falling to the ground, Victor seamlessly appeared out of nowhere as he disappeared from his previous position, and in that moment stood in front of Maggie. But then, something unexpected happened, as Victor was not the one to attack, instead he was the one who retreated.

Just then, as soon as he appeared, Maggie’s body began to deconstruct into something alien, and from all corners of her body, different plant monsters and different parts sprung out from her into existence. This time however, it could not be counted as a surprise attack, as Victor could detect the contortions in her body, and had even expected an attack, just not one of this nature. It was as though a wave of water was heading for him, but in this case it was plant monsters and some grotesque looking parts.

Before the different things got to Victor however, he once again disappeared from that position and appeared beside Werzelya. Following that, Maggie restructured and came back to her normal form, slowly, as each separate plant monster that came out of her went back into her like they were being dragged back to hell.

It took some seconds before she was back to normal, and immediately after that, she launched herself once again at Victor, unexpectedly, only to fall before him.

‘Death Gaze.’ Victor activated the skill in his mind as he locked eyes with Maggie for a split second.

It was really wonderful that he learned to control his passive skills to not be as passive as they were meant to. Maggie had piqued his interest when he first saw her name, but at this moment, after she released whatever the thing she just did was, Victor’s interest Peaked.

Werzelya on the other hand couldn’t believe what she just saw. She was strong in her own rights, but she had never been one for physical fights that much, that’s the whole reason she relies on her enchanted armours and gears. The highlight of the entire thing was simple in the end, Victor still had a calm and almost cold expression, but Maggie on the other hand had a face of one who was in fear. She couldn’t even raise her head, and just remained lying on the floor not daring to move.

Every single person present at the hanger also couldn’t believe what was happening before them. It was just unreal for those who didn’t understand what was going on and the power play at hand, and to that it was all of them.

Victor just looked down on Maggie as he spoke in a calm and bordering cold tone.

“You’ve piqued my interest. Now, answer my question. What are you?” Victor asked slowly.
