Orgaz had his eyes almost pop out upon seeing the champion of his race crashing into a tree from just a punch.
Even if he is a vampire, how could he put out such strength behind his attack? Could he be really older than he thought?
But what worried Orgaz even more was that he failed to inform Mevron that Azu was not a human but a vampire.
However, it was not his fault. He did try to inform him, but Mevron had cut him off earlier, saying that he would deal with it himself.
Still, he wasn't worried about Mevron, while Seraphina wasn't as surprised as Orgaz since she knew Viktor's potential better.
Still, the hint of worry never left her eyes while her hands were subtly moving as if casting a spell.
On the one hand, she didn't want to let Viktor fighting Mevron be in vain and save her realm, but on the other hand, she didn't want to leave him.
Mevron immediately sprang back on his feet with a confused yet dark expression, feeling humiliated and angered that he had let his guard down like an amateur.
He never expected Azu to be a vampire, and even if he knew it, he never would have expected him to be a strong one.
But in the end, he wasn't worried as he jumped forward and landed near Viktor.
Viktor had a casual expression, but inwardly he was surprised to see this guy getting back up just like that, without even the slightest scratch on his face.
Even when he punched him with almost all the power he could gather in a split second, he felt like he was punching an iron body. How strong must his body truly be? Were all dragons like this?
Mevron gave a cold smile as he said, "You had me there for a second. A vampire? No wonder…Which realm are you from, and what the hell are you doing in my realm?" Mevron was genuinely surprised since he clearly sensed no odic force in Azu before. He also wanted to know how this vampire and the Fairy Queen were connected.
"I am a rogue vampire, and what I am doing here should be quite obvious by now," Viktor said as fangs slowly extended from his teeth.
"I won't make the same mistake twice," Mevron scoffed as he suddenly lunged at Viktor and put forward his fist to punch Azu's abdomen.
Viktor saw it coming and brought forward both his arms in a cross to defend himself.
*BOOM!*
*Crack!*
"Ugh…" Viktor grimaced as his arms bent inwards before his entire body flew back like a kite before crashing down a bunch of trees and rolling on the ground for a few meters before coming to a stop.
"Azu!" Seraphina felt pain in her chest seeing Viktor being sent flying as shockwaves spread in every direction, shattering some trees in the process as well. Some smaller bugs and animals exploded just like that.
Even though she knew he couldn't die, she didn't like him enduring pain for her sake.
Mevron subtly frowned, seeing the look of worry and concern on Seraphina's face. Of course, he knew all fairies were kind in nature to the point they would even be concerned about a stranger.
But the expression on her face was not something a fairy like her would show to a stranger. He could feel the pain in her voice as she cried out his name.
Viktor got up as his bones began to mend themselves and stood straight while being surprised by how strong Mevron was. He didn't even know if this was the full force punch from him.
'Why am I coming upon people stronger than me these days,' Viktor inwardly grumbled. He felt disappointed since he used to always enjoy being the strongest back on Earth, but at the same time, he was feeling a dangerous sense of excitement because of not feeling bored from this.
He could finally try and push his limits which were not possible before.
Mevron again had a slight look of surprise as he saw Azu walking over, his arms no longer broken.
He knew vampires had healing powers, but most of them couldn't heal this fast. Not from a punch like that.
"Now I see why you are confident. You think your healing powers will save you?" Mevron asked with a mocking look.
"Oh no, no. I am not really putting all my faith in my healing powers," Viktor said with a shake of his head.
"We will see," Mevron said with a narrowed gaze as he charged toward Azu, who also charged toward him.
The two of them clashed in the center as they locked their hands with each other, trying to overpower the other.
Viktor's muscular biceps were fully flexed as he gritted his teeth, trying to bend Mevron's arms. Even his feet began to sink into the ground as cracks spread over it.
However, it was like he had locked his hands with a pair of immovable hands, and he really couldn't even try to push back Mevron's arms even by an inch.
He then recalled Umilia's teachings as he tried to draw upon the odic force inside his body and let them spread over his arms, granting more power to his muscles.
Mevron felt a rich yet pure odic force spreading across Azu's arms which yet again surprised him since vampires were supposed to be one of the last beings to have such pure odic force inside their bodies.
He could feel Azu's strength gradually increasing, making him put even more strength into his arms.
Did the Fairy Queen have something to do with this? This was the only explanation Mevron could think of. But his mind refused to believe it…There is no way…She wouldn't…
Mevron got distracted from his thoughts when he was shocked to see Azu successfully pushing his arms back by an inch.
"Impressive…You are actually forcing me to become a little serious," Mevron mumbled as his blue eyes shone.
