The Bored Immortal

Chapter 180 - Borin’s Fall

Borin didn't answer Viktor but instead called out in panic, "Oben, help me!"

"It's time I made a move…" Oben mumbled as he moved his fingers in a certain way, making his staff on the ground levitate on its own and shooting out a ray of black light towards Nyissa, who had to stop restraining Oben to defend herself since she couldn't risk not using all of her defensive powers to block Oben's attack.

"Grandfather, no!" Nyissa called out while putting up a defensive screen to stop Oben from attacking Viktor.

But Oben suddenly somehow broke the restraints around him and summoned his staff as black chains shot out towards Viktor, who sensed the chains shooting towards him.

He immediately tensed his muscles as he didn't let go of the hammer but instead used his other hand to grab the chains that were shooting towards him.

And just as he expected, the chains no longer affected him, and he tugged at the chains, taking Oben by surprise as he fell forward.

"It's time you went down!" Viktor remarked as suddenly a large ethereal image of a pair of glowing mystical blue eyes appeared above Viktor's head, which was staring at a trembling Borin.

"Wh-Wh...." Looking at those terrifying glowing pairs of blue eyes, Borin suddenly felt as if his bones were shaking and his limbs becoming numb in fear.

He felt as if his soul was being covered in an icy layer that froze all his thoughts and actions, including his hands which were trying to wrestle back control of his hammer from Viktor.

"Remember your greatest fear...for it shall mark your end…" These words suddenly echoed in Borin's mind, not knowing if Viktor said this or if it was this pair of terrifying blue eyes.

However, before he knew it, he was already remembering the day he died a gruesome death at the hands of General Raoul.

Before dying, he remembered how he was forced to watch his wives and daughters being ravaged by the Blood Demon non-stop right before him.

He remembered how that sight made his skin crawl, his nerves squeezed, and his heart almost felt like bursting.

But when the Blood Demon got bored with them, his worst fears came true as he remembered getting tortured brutally but slowly to increase the pain and suffering.

He never thought that he would wish to die so desperately in his life, but unfortunately, the Blood Demon only granted his wish after making sure he was mentally and physically broken.

And now, a sudden thought appeared in his head...What if he was made to undergo the same torture again?

This thought terrified him to the core and even caused his bladder to loosen.

But what was worse was that the memories of his most feared day continued to play in a loop in his mind again and again.

Before he knew it, he found it hard to breathe and was unable to form any coherent thoughts.

For Borin, this felt like an eternity, but on the outside, for everyone else and Viktor, only a few seconds had passed.

Viktor smiled, seeing that Borin's mind had already begun to break though Viktor himself was feeling quite exhausted mentally because of using his ability to its fullest on Borin.

Borin was no ordinary human being, so he had to use his ability longer to break Borin's mind.

Viktor easily lifted the hammer from Borin's hands and said, "Hope your soul gets destroyed forever by this!" Viktor raised the hammer high, and using his thigh, he broke the handle of the hammer into two as some energy burst out of its broken ends.

But after that, everything became silent. Borin's body completely froze as his terror-stricken eyes suddenly became lifeless before he slowly collapsed on the floor.

Oben, who had slowly gotten up after falling, was surprised to see that Borin's soul was destroyed forever by Viktor on his own, wondering how he knew it.

But then he looked at the unconscious Sae and realized that maybe she saw through it.

Nyissa couldn't help but have her lips arch into a relieved smile seeing that Viktor was able to take down Borin.

Viktor looked at Borin's corpse with a disgusted look, feeling that he should have made him suffer more though now that he had died anyway, Viktor decided to forget about him and focus on rescuing his people.

He was about to go towards the cages when Oben suddenly stood in his way and said, "I can't let you do that."

Viktor frowned, "Then you will have to go down too!" Viktor said as he charged towards Oben.

Oben quickly raised his staff and summoned dozens of crows with demonic red eyes that charged towards Viktor, slowing down his pace as he tried to fend them all off.

He took out his dagger and began to slash at them, cutting through their bodies and making them disappear.

Oben had already taken notice of the dagger in Viktor's arms since it belonged to his own clan.

However, now that Viktor was immune to flames, Oben knew that using any of his strongest cursed flame attacks would only cause a disadvantage to himself since Viktor would easily heal.

So he immediately began to draw a rune in mid-air with his staff to cast a counterspell that would undo Nyissa's spell while he continued to send out another wave of demonic crows towards Viktor to buy himself some time.

"Viktor, you have to stop him! He's preparing a counter-spell to make mine ineffective!" Nyissa shouted from within, making Viktor's brows pull together, though the demonic crows were just growing in numbers no matter how many times he tried to slash them.

He now realized that Oben truly lived up to his reputation as a powerhouse. Who would have thought that he would be able to cast simultaneous spells while preparing one?

Nyissa saw that Viktor was in a tight spot and decided to do something as she looked at the cage she was trapped in.. She felt that she could break out of this cage since Oben was distracted and busy preparing another spell.
