Chapter 57: So it begins.

After finishing removing all of his clothes and leaving only a pair of boxers, Victor looked at Scathach. He didn't seem to have noticed the killing intent that was coming out of Scathach.

"I finished; what now?" Honestly, he was wondering why he should just wear his underwear, but that thought died the moment it was born; after all, he wasn't ashamed of his current body.

"Hmm," Scathach puts her hand on her chin as if thinking about something, she looks at Victor's body in curiosity. Then, she approaches Victor and touches her fingers to his body.

Seeing the firm, well-defined muscles, her eyes gleam a little, she seems to have come to some conclusion.

"Interesting~ looks like you'll take whatever I throw at you." Suddenly, she reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small, old-fashioned cell phone.

"Well-" Victor was going to say something, but he suddenly felt his body being pierced.

"Cough" He spits blood on the floor. He looks down and sees Scathach's hands across his stomach.

"Hold on," She spoke in a neutral tone, and then she started to churn Victor's stomach like she was looking for something.

Victor gritted his teeth; his body trembled in pain, but he just clenched his fists tightly and held on.

Scathach removed her hand from his stomach, and the moment she did, he felt something pulled out of his stomach.

"Cough, that's-" He almost fell to his knees on the floor, but the moment that sensation came, he quickly stomped harder on the floor and stood up, his pride not allowing him to kneel.

"Your gut" She flashed an innocent smile.

"..." Victor was speechless.

A few seconds later, something started to happen; Victor's intestines that were in Scathach's hand dissolved into blood and then disappeared, and at the same moment that happened, Victor felt something return to his stomach.

He touches his belly region, he doesn't feel pain anymore, and the cut on his stomach has also been restored. Even the blood he spat has disappeared.

"Impressive~" She smiled contentedly as she looked at her cell phone, "In less than 10 seconds, you had your whole stomach restored."

"Is this normal...?" Victor asked in curiosity.

"Of course it isn't." She put away her cell phone and began to explain, "For an ordinary noble vampire, it takes between 30 seconds to 1 minute to regenerate this type of damage. For a noble vampire descended from a Count clan, it takes around 30 to 40 seconds depending on the individual's potential."

"This kind of regeneration is only seen in the children of the royal family. For example, the youngest daughter of the king, she is a newborn, and her regeneration is around 10 to 15 seconds."

"You seem to know a lot about this."

"Of course I know. All the king's children that are born, I went to check whether they had potential or not personally."

'By potential, she probably meant beat up every one of them, huh?' Victor thought.

"They all have good talent, but unfortunately, they are useless; the mentalities of them are not like me. Because of that, though they have great talent, I never took any of them to train personally," she said with annoyance.

" ..." Victor didn't know how to react to this. After all, he never saw the king's heirs personally, and if Scathach judged them as 'unworthy', he simply lost interest in them.

He considers Scathach too much like him, and, because of that, he strangely trusts her judgment a lot.

Scathach exhibited a small smile, "You are indeed an anomaly~, your blood has made you special, it has strengthened all your bases, even your body is stronger than a common vampire noble."

"..." Victor exhibited a small smile; 'If I'm an anomaly, what are you? In less than 1 second, your whole arm was restored.' He compared himself a lot to Scathach, which was absurd, she is a vampire who had 2000 years to train, and he? He was just born.

"Follow me," Scathach started walking towards the coliseum wall.

Victor followed Scathach, as he was behind her, unconsciously he looked at her ass that looked like she was trying to hypnotize him; 'Thick ass... This outfit is against the rules... Not that I'm complaining, but it's weird looking at your wife's mother like that... I think.'

He stared for only a few seconds, and then he looked away; he noticed how beautiful the coliseum was. Which was a lie; he was reviewing what he saw in his mind and comparing it to Ruby; 'Scathach wins, although Ruby isn't far behind. Like mother, like daughter, huh?'

'Although, Sasha's legs are better~.'

Apparently, he had plenty of free time to think about bullshit, and Scathach noticed it too when she felt Victor's gaze on her ass, but she didn't care, she was feeling satisfied for some reason.

Stopping at the coliseum wall, Scathach lightly touches the wall, and soon a new wall with various training weapons appears.

"Choose a weapon you like," She pointed like a saleswoman who was selling an item, "Don't worry, all weapons are tough enough; they've been enchanted by witches~."

"Hmm," Victor looked at the weapons curiously. He saw that she had several weapons of all varied types, eastern, western, and even firearms.

Victor didn't think too much; he wasn't experienced in using any weapons, so he just chose what he liked personally. He liked the Spear and Greatsword, but in the end, he chose Greatsword. After all, he still has memories of watching a movie with his father about a barbarian who used a Greatsword, and, since that day, he has always been fascinated by the Greatsword.

He looked at the sharp blade of the sword with curious eyes; the Greatsword was simply too big, he was currently 195 cm tall, and the sword blade was almost the same size as himself.

"Greatsword, as expected of a man, I think?" She laughed.

"I was in doubt about the Spear and the Greatsword, but I just chose the one I liked best." He spoke while swinging the Greatsword with extreme ease; he even felt like the sword was made of paper, it was so light.

"Heh~" Scathach's eyes sparkled a little when she heard that he liked the spear. Despite being a master of all weapons and having completely mastered them, the weapon she first practiced with was the Spear.

"Since we have little time, your torture/training method is simple, a fight to a near-death state." She wasn't even hiding anymore that it would be torture for him, although Victor doesn't seem to mind.

Victor looked at Scathach, his smile growing disproportionately when he heard what she said, "As vampires, we're going to abuse regeneration, huh?"

"Oh? You got it fast~" She smiled and explained, "Usually, I would start by taking it easy. I would teach you the basics step by step, and I would apply a little torture to get you used to the pain, just like I did with my daughter... But..."

She walks to the wall and picks up a spear, she makes some moves with the spear and points the sharp part of the spear at Victor:

"You woke me up, and now... I want to have fun~" Her smile grew distorted, sharp teeth began to show on her face, and her eyes began to glow blood red.

Just like Scathach, Victor's smile grew:

"Then? What are we waiting for~? Let's start."

He swings the Greatsword horizontally and attacks Scathach.

Scathach uses the spear hilt and defended Victor's attack. The swing of the Greatsword created a gust of wind, but despite all that strength, the spear didn't even move when receiving the attack. She then used the tip of the spear and pierced Victor's stomach.

A small ice shield appears on Victor's stomach but is easily pierced by Scathach's spear.

Victor attacks again with the Greatsword, but Scathach pulls the spear out of Victor's stomach and slashes his legs at inhuman speed.

"Ugh,"

"Lots of useless moves; try to simplify more. The way you use the power is correct, but..."

She waits for Victor's legs to regenerate, and when she saw that he had recovered, Scathach covers her legs with ice and kicks Victor in the stomach! "You need to use the powers with more density. Your ice looks like glass that is easily broken; try to make it more resistant."

He flies backward, using his fire as a support; he manages to reposition himself in the air.

Scathach runs towards Victor at moderate speed, and slowly her speed starts to increase, she covers the spear with ice and attacks the air.

A wall of ice began to be created on the ground and headed towards Victor.

"What!?" Victor covers his arm with fire, then he punches the air, and a blast of fire flew into the wall of ice.

BOOOOM!

An explosion happens when ice and fire collide.

Scathach appears at Victor's side, "Bad decision. If you don't have experience fighting, limiting your field of vision is—" She turns her head slightly and dodges the Greatsword's blade.

She looks at Victor and sees his eyes glowing red, "Your eyes... They're special, huh? I didn't know that~."

"I didn't say," Victor flashed a small smile.

"Oh? Are you hiding more stuff from me?"

"Who knows? How about you try to find out for yourself?"

Scathach's face turned a little red at Victor's response, she smiles sensually as she licks her lips, "Hehe~, don't worry, soon, I'll know all about you~."
