58 [Bonus chapter] Arch Human lll
Through out the fight, Victor had yet to speak, but the lady didn’t need him to. She could tell that he wasn’t even trying, and that he had been easily deflecting and blocking her attacks, and though she herself saw many openings when he could have attacked, she saw that he didn’t. It was quite clear that there was no way he didn’t see those openings, so-
‘Is he just toying with me? Am I not enough for him to take serious?’ He questioned in her mind as her facial expression spoiled a bit.
The way she switched weapons, she would be holding one weapon in hand, and the very next moment it would disappear and another one would appear in its place. Victor was quite curious how it worked, but it was not like she would tell him if he asked to begin with.
She took out her fan this time while putting away the weird looking sword he was holding. The metal fan opened up and expanded, then a sword appeared in her other hand, and she placed it upon the fan. The two weapons fused together seamlessly as though they were always part of the same piece, then she extended her hand backwards before throwing it towards Victor.
The speed the weapon travelled with was great, but for some reason Victor didn’t feel the least bit threatened by it, and remained totally calm, even for himself. As the weapon approached almost immediately, he just moved sideways a bit evading it, then using his hands redirected it back towards the lady. The whole movement happened smoothly and in one fluid motion as he spun his body around like a move born out of some tai chi technique.
With the same speed, the weapon travelled back to the lady, but as it got close to her the weapon slowed down, then-
BOOM!
‘That shouldn’t be enough to damage her.’.
From what Victor had summed up, she had abilities that had to do with weapons. She could bring out weapons from where ever, could use various weapons, could fuse weapons, and from the actions of the fan Victor just sent her way, he could control her weapons remotely it seemed. All these didn’t matter though, Victor decided he had seen enough of her show.
‘Why not try asking her, she might just tell me.’ He said in his mind.
The explosion was so unexpected and sudden that it threw the lady off her footing a bit, and as she leaned backwards from the explosion, Victor’s face appeared from the smoke and came just before her. For her, he was so fast, enough that she felt he would be be able to land a few blows on her if he wanted. At that moment of helplessness, her vigilance rose above normal as she felt vulnerable before Victor.
“What is the power you possess?” Victor asked.
He grabbed her by the waist like some grand royal dance feast spotlight couple would, and her leg even happened to be raised to fit the pose well. Maybe it was because of the battle and she was absorbed in it, but she didn’t notice this immediately, but neither did she answer Victor. She just stared at him while her body crashed down on the floor, as it went limp.
“Well, guess I’ll find out later.” He said.
Victor then turned to look at the leader that was still standing at the same spot. He bent down to pick a small piece of rock, and then as the leader began coming forward, he threw the rock as fast as he could, but the leader was still able to deflect the rock, but then instead of the rock, Victor appeared before him and placed his hand on his face. With one of Victor’s leg behind the leader’s legs, Victor pushed the leader backwards and got him off his feet because of the speed.
DOOM!
The sound of Victor bashing the leader’s head into the ground rung out, but in the end it didn’t matter as he used Touch of Death after the head smash just in case.
After fighting with the lady, one thing Victor noticed was that there was little difference between the normal humans and the so called Ark humans. He wasn’t even sure if they themselves knew that their race had changed a bit. The Ark human would probably just live longer and become a little stronger at most, maybe have more potential than normal humans at most. Nothing too out of the ordinary.
“Whatever, heh…”
Victor dragged the body of the leader back and and on the way grabbed the lady’s body also, then using his teleport, he appeared on the spot he set his mark earlier.
“Time to gain some evolution materials.” He said while digging into the flesh and swallowing it piece by piece.
Before eating it this time, he made sure to take off the clothes he was wearing and wear the one the first guy he ate was wearing, in case blood got on them, it would be ok since he would abandon the clothes later. The original one he had on was just that good that he didn’t want to spoil it.
After he finished taking all the evolution material he could by savaging every single piece, Victor checked his list of evolution materials.

“This should be good enough right? Or would it be better if I just build the form anew. Which would bring out the most benefits?” Victor asked himself.
“The last one worked, so this time there shouldn’t be too any problem either, right? Let’s believed that.” Victor said, as he felt it good to be positive from time to time.
“System, begin evolution process.”
