The Bored Immortal

A deathly silence filled the entire temple as Umilia, Aelita, Chief Tamo, and his people saw Dark Phoenix getting killed after all his attempts to fight or flee seemed nothing but child's play before the Nameless Knight.

Those dark silver flames, which could even turn iron to dust, didn't even faze the Nameless Knight. He didn't even extend his aura, and yet everybody felt goosebumps sliding along the back of their neck.

Aelita's heart rate was picking up as she felt an expanding feeling in her chest. She could hardly describe the intense emotions she was feeling right now. Her thoughts were also all over the place.

Chief Tamo and his people were uncontrollably trembling as they prostrated in whatever space they had. Never in their lives did they dream of living a day where they would get to see their god appearing before themselves, even if it was not his original body.

But how could they mistake the ancient dark purple light circling his entire being? This was Void Force at its purest and most powerful state that could very well be a danger to even gods.

Umilia slowly released a deep breath as she took a good look at her husband, who most probably didn't seem like he was aware of himself or in a trance after getting possessed by his own past.

By now, she was sure that he was no mortal in the past, which he couldn't remember. So was she looking at the Viktor of the past?

With an unblinking gaze, she kept staring at him with her hand on her chest.

"Ancient One…" Aelita mumbled as she tried to prostrate before him, but her injuries were making it quite difficult for her to even bend her back.

However, to her astonishment, she felt an overwhelming wave of power surging through her body, healing her injuries faster than she could fathom. Not only her but even her father and his people were also getting healed as well.

Umilia was also getting healed, and it didn't take them a second guess to know that it was the Nameless Knight's power healing them.

Chief Tamo and the others felt exhilarated upon getting blessed by their god. All of them laid down completely flat on the floor and shouted together in a fervid tone, "We, your servants, do not deserve the Ancient One's grace or blessing. But the Ancient One never forsook us and saved us and our world from a possible calamity. All we can offer in return is our souls for eternity and undying loyalty."

The Nameless Knight slowly turned their head to look at them.

Aelita couldn't help but meekly raise her head to take a peek, and upon meeting the gaze of her god, she felt something stirring in her soul.

But what happened next completely confused and surprised them as the Nameless Knight dug the Divine Voidbringers into the floor before closing his eyes and remaining still.

The next moment his armor began to turn into dark purple dust as his figure faltered and fell to the floor.

"Viktor!"

"Ancient One!" Aelita and Umilia both cried out in worry as they rushed over.

And when they reached him, Umilia wasn't surprised. Aelita placed her hand on her mouth to see Viktor lying unconscious. The heavy metal armor was all gone, and all that remained was this man.

The divine, imposing presence she felt earlier was also gone as well. It was as if she had never experienced it in the first place.

But even though it seemed like the Nameless Knight had left, Aelita helped Umilia turn over Viktor, wondering if he was alright.

She didn't know what exactly happened, but she was now sure that Viktor had a strong connection with the Nameless Knight. Maybe the prophecy was right all along.

"Viktor…" Umilia checked on his pulse to see if everything was alright, and to her relief, his pulse was strong.

"Make sure he wakes up. I will go check on Taya," Umilia quickly rushed over as she hadn't forgotten the serious blow Taya suffered to her head.

She desperately wished to use her powers. And as if her prayers were answered, she suddenly felt her odic force returning and channeling through her body.

Her eyes blinked in surprise, but she didn't wait and immediately flew over to Taya and used her senses to check her condition.

"How…" Her eyebrows raised in surprise as Umilia couldn't find a single injury on Taya's body. And then she realized that the Nameless Knight must have healed her just like the others.

Did this mean that Viktor still had some awareness? Umilia couldn't help but wonder since the last two times he went into a trance, he didn't seem to know who he was. All that controlled him was pure bloodlust or rage. She didn't know if him being in Naraka Realm at that time had an influence on him or something else.

"Nnmm…where am I…" Taya slowly stirred awake as her eyelids trembled before becoming wide open.

"Taya…fiuhh…you truly had us scared for a while," Umilia said with a relieved sigh as she helped her up.

Taya rubbed the sides of her temple as memories of what happened before she got knocked out flooded her mind, "The ring!" She suddenly said with a concerned look since the last thing she remembered was preventing Dark Phoenix from getting his hands on it.

Umilia softly smiled as she helped her up slowly, "Don't worry about it. Viktor handled it for us. Dark Phoenix won't be troubling us anymore," Umilia said as she pointed at Viktor, who was stirring awake as well with his head on Aelita's lap.

Taya's expression relaxed, and she was surprised to see that all this had happened while she was out. She could see Dark Phoenix's corpse not too far from Viktor, and right when she was about to ask how Viktor saved them, everybody was shocked to see Dark Phoenix's corpse suddenly bursting into dark silver flames.
