The Bored Immortal
chapter-532-30041322

"No…wake up…" Viktor gritted his teeth as he endured the pain of his broken bones puncturing his flesh while trying to crawl toward Taya. Everything around him seemed to dull away, and all he could see was Taya lying motionlessly and saw a small pool of blood under her head which made his heart shudder.

He didn't even dare to imagine that the worst had happened to her. He can't afford to lose her like this.

He wanted to check her pulse, but his vision was becoming blurry as blood continued to drip out through his mouth.

His body was becoming number and number from the pain as death was preparing to claim his life once again.

Umilia also saw the blood under Taya's head and lost focus as she became even more worried about her. But Death Queen took advantage of her distraction and punched her in the stomach, making Umilia bend her back with a muffled groan as she clutched her stomach.

"You are done," Death Queen curtly said as she smashed Umilia to the floor using one of her feet, putting her in a barely conscious state.

Aelita felt as if the world was coming to an end after seeing Umilia also getting downed by them. Now, there was now on one to stand up to these people, and she couldn't help but firmly hold her father's hand as she mumbled, "Will we be the reason for the doom of our world, father? They got their hands on our sacred treasure…" Tears of disappointment and pain trickled down her cheeks, thinking about everything that had happened.

Her brother died for nothing. Taya, whom she considered as a big sister, might not even be alive. Viktor, who was friendly and kind enough to help them, was close to dying, with his wives' condition no better than his. And now these outsiders have got their hands on the Void Ring, which would make them unstoppable one day.

Chief Tamo's hands were shaking as he cupped her hand, "We might have lost today, but…they will never get their hands on something that they aren't worthy of."

"Father…" Aelita felt confused by her father's words and didn't understand what he meant.

"Death Queen, you may now grant them mercy by ending their pitiful lives. We got what we came here for but too bad, we lost Hawk Demoness and Blight. Who would have known that we would suffer such great losses for a mission that was supposed to be simple," Dark Phoenix mumbled while caressing the Void Ring.

However, his gaze shifted towards the snowy-haired woman lying beneath the statue, and he stood still as if he was deeply thinking about something or had gotten lost in his thoughts.

"It will be my pleasure," Death Queen said coolly as she slowly walked towards Aelita and her people trapped in her net.

Aelita's breathing was heavy and sluggish as she weakly gripped her Void Hammer. She tried to lift it but grunted as her strength immediately dispersed due to having no energy reserves at all, coupled with the injuries she sustained.

"The Nameless Knight will curse you all for eternity…" Chief Tamo said in a trembling voice as he and his people prepared themselves to die.

Death Queen softly scoffed as she took out a long dagger from the side of her pants, "Curses of the dead mean nothing."

She raised her dagger high to first slit Aelita's neck but,

*Rnnnnn*

A subtle rumbling sound echoed from behind as she squinted her eyes and turned around to look at the statue.

Dark Phoenix also heard it, especially since he was still standing on the knee of the statue. With a confused turn of his head, he took a good look at the statue, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

A minute ago, Viktor desperately wished he knew how to use his Void Force so that he might still stand a chance of saving Taya. Otherwise, even if he dies and comes back, how will he be able to get out of here?

His eyes were red, trembling in anger and pain upon seeing his lover lying with a pool of blood under her head.

But his organs were failing one by one, and he couldn't even find the strength to crawl toward her anymore.

However, his body collapsed on the floor as he felt his life force leaving him. In his desperation, he was still trying to remember the memories he got as a vision where he was using Void Force. At the same time, his hand rested on the feet of the giant statue.

'Everything will collapse into the Void…The power of the Void can only exist in a place where there is no darkness nor light, no heaven nor hell, no chaos nor order…Reach that place, and you shall become one with the Void…'

Viktor didn't know why but suddenly, these words echoed in his mind, and the next moment his body became lifeless.

Umilia, who was half-conscious, saw Viktor die and was hoping for him to come back to life. But seconds passed, and he was still not waking up. This made her breathing quick and shallow, fearing for his life for the first time. She knew he would instantly wake up right after he died, every single time. But that wasn't the case now.

*Rnnnn*

But a subtle rumbling sound echoed from the statue as her gaze shifted toward it.

Everybody heard this echo and looked at the statue. Dark Phoenix was about to come down, thinking it was nothing, but suddenly dark purple light flared from behind the visor of the statue.

Everybody was shocked as it seemed as if the giant statue was coming to life, and before they could process their thoughts, the stone swords sheathed on its back began to crumble and break down.

Aelita had a look of disbelief while Chief Tamo mumbled with widened eyes that were shining with a fervid light, "Praise the Voidborn…" Saying so, he and his people immediately kowtowed on the spot.
