Chapter 97: Two new weird friends.
"And to think that he would enter the forbidden forest and approach a demonic beast without knowing it," Kaguya commented as she watched Victor exchange punches with the gorilla.
"Ora, Ora! Come on, Big Guy! Show me all your strength!" Victor was attacking his armor several times.
ROOOOOOOOAAAAAAR!
The gorilla roared and walked away from Victor, and then, after grabbing a tree, he removed the branches from it and used the tree as a spear. Slowly the tree he held began to be covered with the same black material he was using as armor.
"Oh? Are we going to switch to sword fighting? In that case!"
Victor created an ice greatsword and then raised the greatsword in front of him.
"Let's go!"
Victor jumped towards the gorilla and started attacking him again.
"...Didn't he notice that the monkey looked different and much stronger than the one he had seen before? My God... My master is incorrigible." Kaguya sighed.
Beng!
The sound of metal on metal was heard.
"Ugh." The noise was too loud, and Kaguya put her hands to her ears in pain.
And suddenly.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
An explosion happened on the spot, rocks and trees started flying around, this was just the result of the clash between the two!
"KEKEKEKEKEKEKE!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
A demonic gorilla and a vampire started laughing like crazy as they fought.
At first, the fight was at a normal pace, but...
Slowly, their speed began to increase.
And little by little, they became images that untrained eyes could not see.
"Holy Fuck... Is this really a fight between a gorilla and a vampire?" Kaguya, for the first time in a long time, spoke a bad word, she was just in total disbelief. When a normal vampire and a demonic creature fight, that kind of thing doesn't happen!
And especially this gorilla! Why is he so fast!? It doesn't make sense for him to have this speed at this size!
BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM!
Several explosions happened every time Victor and the gorilla collided with each other. And this fight attracted the attention of other predators, some demonic animals that were in the vicinity began to approach, seeking the opportunity to kill them both.
"This is getting dangerous. I better hide." Kaguya disappeared into the shadows.
A fox-like creature with horns approached Victor and tried to attack him.
ROAR-
"Fuck-off! Don't get in my way!" But Victor just punched the fox in the face! The punch was so hard that the fox flew far away!
A similar situation happened with the gorilla when a wolf tried to bite his neck.
ROAAAAAAAR!
But the gorilla just punched the wolf towards the fox.
"Auuuuu! Kiiiiii!" The wolf and the fox wept in pain.
Victor created a gigantic fireball and threw it at them both!
BOOOOOOOM!
An explosion of fire happened.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the gorilla stepped on the ground and created a thorn with the same black material and threw it at the two beasts.
Pierce!
Soon the sounds of fox and wolf disappeared completely.
The thorn with the black material made by the gorilla has pierced the fox and the wolf!
A demonic beast skewer was created!
"Did they plan this...?" Kaguya, who was watching from the shadows, asked in disbelief.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"KEKEKEKEKEKEKE!"
Soon the two jumped into battle again.
"... I do not think so."
...
A few hours later, Victor was lying on the floor, breathing heavily. He looked quite tired, had some parts of his clothes cut off, and even had a wound that wasn't healing.
Despite being in this state, he had a big smile of satisfaction on his face as he looked at the moon:
"Ahh~, tonight is a beautiful night."
Next to him was a giant gorilla with several pieces of broken armor, also breathing heavily just like Victor.
"I haven't been so tired in a while." Victor was honest. The only times he got tired was when fighting Scathach.
And, just like in the fight with Scathach, he only needed to rest a few minutes until all his wounds regenerated, as well as his vigor.
"I'm thirsty..."
And just like in Scathach's fight, he always got thirsty when he was completely exhausted.
Victor looked at his body and saw that his body was completely healed, but he didn't feel like getting up.
The gorilla got up and sat down.
Victor looked at the gorilla and saw the gestures he was making.
"Urru, Urru." He pointed to himself and to the large tree that was surprisingly undamaged by their struggle.
"Yeah, I know. I'll tell her." Victor had an idea what he was talking about, from what he could understand was something like; 'don't let that girl come near the tree.'
"Urru!" The gorilla got up and walked towards the tree, and every step he took made the earth around him shake, so he sat on the ground leaning against the tree trunk.
He looks at the moon, then closes his eyes.
"He's tired, huh?"
Victor stands up, "Well, I won't judge him. I'm also a little tired."
Victor soon started walking in the opposite direction from the gorilla, "Oh, I forgot something."
"Hey, Big Guy."
The gorilla looked at Victor.
"I will be back." Victor flashed a smile.
"Grrr," The gorilla snorted and turned away.
"...?" Victor didn't understand the gorilla's reaction.
But soon, the gorilla gives a thumbs up with his hand.
"Pfft… Is he shy? This is unexpected coming from you, Big Guy."
ROAAAAAAAR!
"Yeah yeah, I'm leaving. I'll be back later to visit you two." Victor spoke.
Victor exhibited a small smile when he saw the tree swaying its branches as if it was saying goodbye to him.
...
Walking out of the forest where he was, Victor met Kaguya.
"Master-..." Before Kaguya could say anything.
"Are you okay?" Victor spoke as he started looking at every corner of Kaguya's body.
"M-Master, I'm fine." Kaguya wasn't used to this sudden attention.
Sigh...
Victor sighed in relief.
"Master-"
Victor placed his hand on Kaguya's head.
Kaguya thought he was going to headpat her, she was looking forward to it, but the headpat didn't come!
Crack!
Victor squeezed Kaguya's head tightly.
"M-My Head!" Kaguya screamed in pain.
"Kaguya," Victor spoke in an extremely serious voice.
"You wanted to stay, right? Did you forget about the contract?" He was talking about the previous situation.
"…" Kaguya was silent.
"But-..." She was going to say something, but Victor stopped her.
"No, but… Remember, don't mind me. Your safety is more important to me."
"I hope that doesn't happen again."
"..." Kaguya was silent, but she nodded.
"Good." Victor displayed a gentle smile as he started walking in front of Kaguya.
Seeing Victor's back, Kaguya thought wistfully; 'It's hard not to care about your safety, master...'
"Kaguya."
Suddenly, Kaguya heard Victor's voice again, and soon she woke up from her thoughts.
"If you want to protect me, get stronger."
"..." Kaguya opened her eyes a little.
Victor looked at Kaguya, "But even if you get stronger, and you can protect me. I ask that you always prioritize your safety."
"...This is a contradiction, Master..."
"Hahaha~" Victor laughed gently, "Indeed. But that's the way I am." He started walking again in front of Kaguya.
'I ask, huh?' She realized he hadn't ordered her. He'd just made a request, so it's up to her whether she'll follow that request or not.
...
Rumble, Rumble.
"Huh? It's raining?" Pepper looked out the window, and as usual, the skies over the capital were cloudy, but it didn't seem to be raining.
"Impossible. The capital does not have rain." Lacus replied.
"But what about these lightning noises!?" Pepper asked.
"Must be your imagination," Lacus replied.
"It's not my imagination!"
RUMBLE!
The lightning noise got louder.
"See!?" Pepper smiled with a victorious smile.
"…Why are you showing that smile! Don't be a child!"
"Hehehe~" Pepper laughed.
RUMBLE!
Suddenly everyone heard the noise of lightning hitting the ground.
"Hiiii! That was near here!"
"... Pepper... Do you have chicken brains?" Lacus asked her younger sister a genuine question.
"Fuee?" Pepper didn't understand.
Lacus elaborated, "Think with me; It's impossible to rain in the capital, and who is the person who has lightning powers outside the mansion now?"
"Oh." Pepper opened her mouth.
Soon everyone hears Victor's voice:
"Girls, I'm back!"
"It's Victor!" Pepper exclaimed.
"Yes." Lacus smiled.
"He likes an extravagant entrance, huh? Can't he arrive normally?" Eleonor appeared at Siena's side.
"Oh? I thought you were gone?" Lacus asked.
"I had some matters to settle with Siena, and I need to talk to that man."
Suddenly Eleonor heard Victor's voice behind her.
"I have a name, you know~."
"!!!" Eleonor jumped back, her heart beating too fast, "Don't do that... It scared me."
"Oh?" Victor exhibited a small smile. He didn't expect this reaction from her.
"Ugh, Victor. You reek of wild animal." Pepper put a hand to her nose.
"Yeah, I was fighting a gorilla in Eastern Territory."
"Oh, those four-meter monkeys?" Eleonor asked.
"Wrong, the biggest ones."
"Eh?" Eleanor.
"What?" Lacus.
"Fue?" Pepper.
"Huh?" Siena.
The four women thought they heard something wrong.
Kaguya suddenly stepped out of Victor's shadow, the four women looking to the Maid for answers.
"Yes, he fought a demonic gorilla, the one who protects that strange tree in the forbidden forest..."
"Eh...? Huuuh!?"
"You're crazy…." Lacus said.
"Hahahaha, thanks for the compliment." Victor scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"That wasn't a compliment! What was on your mind, fighting that beast!?"
"Well, it was fun... Why not?" Victor displayed a sincere smile.
"Y-You... Sigh... You're incorrigible." Lacus gave up.
"And? And? How was the fight!?" Pepper looked more animated than usual.
"I want to hear too, that gorilla is a very famous beast. Few vampires were able to fight him and survive, and those who survived had quite severe mental trauma," Siena spoke with curiosity.
She even remembers that in the past, her mother fought the gorilla, but Scathach refused to give any information to her daughters, she was very curious about this matter.
"..." Victor looked at Siena with a strange look.
"What?"
"Did you eat something bad, woman?" He didn't understand why she was acting so 'docile' with him. Wasn't she the woman who kept saying he was just cattle?
A vein popped in Siena's head, "You know what!? Nevermind! Humpf!" She turned her face away and walked towards a spot.
"…What was that tsundere reaction…? Did she eat something bad?" Even Pepper doubted her older sister.
Coming out of her initial stupor, "...You came at a good time, I need to talk to you..." Eleonor suddenly spoke, and her voice caught everyone's attention, even Siena, who was leaving.
Victor looked at the woman who was almost the same height as him with curious eyes.
Eleonor puts her hand on her chest and makes a noble gesture:
"Victor Walker. I, Countess Eleonor Adrasteia, invite you to come to my territory as a special guest."
"Oh? Okay, I will."
"Eh?" Eleonor and Siena were surprised at how easily Victor accepted it.
