The Bored Immortal

Nyissa doubtfully looked at him and asked, "How?"

"I don't know if you saw it or not. But there is a large, broken-down mansion where some souls are being held hostage by the one responsible for us all being here. That being is known as the Abominable Fiend, and we have to destroy it if we want to get back to our real-world before it does something worse," Viktor explained.

"Abominable Fiend?" Ayana mumbled with a confused look as she glanced at her Master and her friends.

Nyissa squinted her eyes and asked, "And if this is true, how do you know this? If I am right, you must not be familiar with the Naraka Realm or this Naraka Bridge at all. After all, you yourself told us how you lived all along as a Regular."

Viktor knew that living like a Regular meant living like a normal human being. However, suddenly he heard the girl's voice in his head and nodded slowly.

"Alright. It's time someone else answered all your questions.. But you all have to promise me not to act impulsively or do something stupid because of your rigid rules or beliefs, just like how you tried to capture me. Is that clear? I am asking you specifically, Nyissa," Damien asked as he maintained his gaze with Nyissa's, who petulantly looked away as she nodded.

Ayana had a baffled look seeing her Master agreeing so fast and even acting a bit like....the rest she did not dare to think.

Viktor smiled after getting her agreement and said, "Okay, Little Ghost. It's safe to show yourself."

Everyone looked at Viktor, wondering who he was talking to, but suddenly a bright white flash manifested beside Viktor as Ayana and her friends stumbled back with startled expressions while Nyissa continued to stand in the same spot, though her brows pulled together seeing this ethereal teenage girl with no face.

"A spirit...is she a—"

"Before jumping the gun, let me say that she is not some evil spirit or anything. Consider her a good one, and I am sure you all only detest the evil ones, am I right?" Viktor asked with crossed arms while Little Ghost timidly hid behind him as if she was afraid of getting wiped out by the witches before her.

Nyissa said in a skeptical tone as she activated her Odic Vision, "A good spirit? Then what is she doing in the Naraka Realm where spirits like her aren't supposed to exist? How do we know that she is not a higher evil spirit masquerading around as a good one?"

"That is possible?" Viktor mumbled as he looked at Little Ghost, who frantically shook her head and said in a low voice, "I am not...I promise. I have no other way to prove myself."

Viktor was new to all this, so he didn't know that what Nyissa said could be possible as well.

But still, he remembered what Little Ghost did for him and said, "No, if she really was one, there would have been no need for her to help me out. If she wanted to fool me into some trap, she would have done it before. And so far, whatever she told me, makes sense."

"And what did you tell him? Most importantly, who are you? You still seem to have some of your identity left," Nyissa asked Little Ghost.

Little Ghost explained to her everything she told Viktor, and finally, she and the others had thoughtful expressions as they thought about it.

Although Viktor was looking alright on the outside, inwardly, he was feeling a slight stinging sensation in his head though physically, he was feeling quite alright.

Before, when it was still day in this place, he was feeling the opposite where mentally he was feeling alright, but physically he had a slight discomfort.

Though, for now, he found it bearable.

Nyissa finally said as she nodded, "What she said may be right since I sensed a high concentration of evil spirits in a single place the moment we arrived here. Anyway, I was planning to go there and settle things since I speculated that the only way we could get pulled here is if someone forcibly brought us here."

Ayana worriedly asked, "Then does it mean we have to fight something more frightening and powerful than the Ranars we faced?" Hearing the ominous name, Abominable Fiend, Ayana had a bad feeling about fighting such an entity.

"Probably. But that doesn't mean we can't defeat or destroy it. If it was too powerful, we should have been dead already. It must have a good level of intelligence as well, which means we have to be smart about going to the mansion. The best way would be to distract the mindless Ranars surrounding the mansion and make our way in," Nyissa said as she formulated her plan.

"How about using one of your witch bombs as a distraction? I am sure the Ranars would get attracted to the sound," Little Ghost proposed.

Nyissa nodded, "That is a good idea."

Viktor shook his head slightly, seeing that these witches were quite well equipped with all sorts of things in their arsenal.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's move," Viktor said as he walked out. He couldn't wait to destroy the Abominable Fiend and get out of this place after saving his people.

They all decided to walk the whole way since using a teleportation circle could be flashy and alert the enemies.

As they traveled towards the mansion silently, Little Ghost whispered in his mind, "So you and Nyissa...I saw everything, hmph."

"Why do you sound a bit jealous?" Viktor asked with a raised brow.

Little Ghost hurriedly shook her head, "I am not! I was just wondering how you still prey on other beauties when you already have some in your present life."

"Wait a minute. You have been spying on me the entire time?" Viktor asked with a strange look.
