Victor, who was preparing to use some very nasty method to end the situation, slowly opened his eyes wide as he sighed in relief. He slowly put the strange-looking talismans in his hand away then wiped the blood off his finger.
This was a really close call, he almost used that nasty bug… it would have been a real waste to use it on those weaklings though!
Thankfully, he was right! His waiting had paid off!
After Rebecca attacked him earlier, he plotted many different scenarios. Finally, he decided to bet and stall for time waiting for this moment… Too bad, the moment he waited didn’t come! And when Mana hurried to help her young master, she didn’t realize that she was limiting Victor’s options, because he would have to take her into consideration. She really tied his hands!
Victor didn’t really blame her as he knew how much she loved him! But he would have to punish her later no matter what.
Victor slowly stood up as he leveled up, filling up his Mana and Health bars. Yes, he leveled up!
Ever since that midget told Victor that there was no boss on this floor, he felt that it was strange as he could clearly see the hall that was clearly a boss chamber on the map!
All the pieces fell into their places when he saw Gustave!
Victor had been waiting for this moment when the pouch was completely dissolved by the green goo. It was then the Skeleton queen who was in it perished! Yes, as Victor expected, that bastard Gustave should have subdued her earlier wanting to use her against the lich king, or other players.
And as the one who caused this, Victor Von Weise earned a ton of experience and leveled up immediately. Thanks to his upgraded System, he didn’t have to wait until the dungeon was cleared!
Leveling up not only reset his attributes but also removed all temporary effects. Paralysis to be exact. He was still poisoned though so he quickly took another antidote pill as he quickly glanced at his log!

Victor smiled and nodded, this is more than he had anticipated! Now it was payback time!
…
Rebecca frowned and then returned her eyes to the clearing. She didn’t expect the first boss to be eliminated at this time, never mind, she needed to finish here then disappear forever with Victor’s head!
She coldly watched as the skinny man, who seemingly didn’t care a lot about the announcement, slowly approached and grabbed Mana by the neck then… he vanished… not just him, everything around her in the clearing Vanished!
She was surrounded by a white emptiness!
“Illusion!” she yelled then activated her area inspection…. It didn’t work! She quickly prepared for an attack, but it came from an angle she never expected! The sword in her hand suddenly became alive and began shaking at her, forcing her to throw it away… It vanished… Sh*t, she made a mistake, this was definitely Victor moving it….
Rebecca got flustered as she reached for her storage pouch to take her dagger, but her pouch was not there!
Suddenly she felt something go around her neck… It was some kind of a wire! She tried to pry it off or to kick the attacker behind her, but it was to no avail… It was as if she was kicking empty air!
In her last seconds of clarity, she could barely see the bloody handsome face of her strangler. He was like a ghost floating in midair! His purplish black eyes were like an endless abyss, and his cold smile came straight from hell!
Moments later, she passed out! She was lucky though, because she didn’t get to hear the bone chilling screams that followed!
…
Martin, The Von Zwei patriarch, casually stepped out of his practice cave just as an elder ran toward him in a way that was not fitting for a man his age.
“Master…. Thankfully you are out! We are in trouble! Wa ha hm …” He yelled then began to cough as he tried to catch his breath.
“Zamika, I always told you to stop smoking… It is not good for your health! Look at you gasping for breath after a slight effort!” Martin scolded as he watched the old man calm down.
“Ah…. Ma .. Master! Mas...er….u… Gust….AAA... have ... dead!” Zamika coughed a little more.
“Guss? The gardener? Why should I care?” Martin raised one eyebrow, "Did he touch the hybrid poison ivy? I warned him about it...."
“No, master, Gustave, not Guss… Gustave, the Undead King! He is dead! His soul jade had just broken moments ago!” Zamika interrupted.
“What?” Martin gasped, Gustave was one of the five nightmares, the pillars of the Von Zwei family!
“Who did it? Where was he?”
“We don’t know…. Master Gustave always acted secretly when he went out to collect new servants…”
“Damn it…” Martin yelled, “Call the other four nightmares… We need to talk!”
“Master… while you were in your closed practice cave, another one of the nightmares was killed…” Zamika said after some hesitation, “It was master Alvar…”
“What? When? Wasn’t he at the Wiren Mansion supervising that kid Troy?” Martin asked as he checked Zamika’s expression, making sure that he was not joking.
“Master… master Troy was killed, and the mansion…. It blew up with a nuclear bomb… It was about a month ago…”
“What….” It took Martin 10 whole minutes to get all of this… Zamika had just told him that the family had lost half of its hidden cards in just two weeks!
“Who was it?” Martin asked finally as his eyes turned red and his shoulders began to shake. One must know that Alvar was not only his uncle, he was one of the elders who supported him!
“We don’t know yet…”
“THEN FIND OUT!” Martin yelled, “And make Levi come see me!” he hissed angrily as blood seeped from his squeezed hand. His son would need to readjust his plan!
…
Lily stealthy landed in the devastated clearing, followed by Mina who quickly began to inspect the surroundings with shocked eyes… This was a bloody massacre!
Not only were there random body parts and blood splotches around, but she could spot eleven freshly dismembered corpses! Three were in the center of the clearing while the rest had seemingly been caught sneaking or lurking around.
All the corpses had one thing in common. They had bloody holes dug in their nether regions.
They were fresh as blood was still seeping from them! Maybe 15 minutes or less!
“What monster did this?” Mina asked with an ashen face as she looked around in vigilance.
“The Nutcracker!” Lily replied she knew who it was…. Her young master!
He was the one who told her to blow the crotches of anyone who dared to touch or even look at her improperly! She took it metaphorically as just kicking their balls off. She didn’t expect Victor to mean it literally!
“What? The nutcracker?” Mina asked. Was it a monster? She heard that name before, but she had no recollection of when. It must be at the academy. “We should leave, what if it was still lurking here?” she said as she began to look around nervously.
“Don’t be afraid, you will be ‘cracked’ by him sooner or later…” Lily said with a smile, “No one can escape his grasp!” she added as she began to giggle. Her mood had just super improved after noticing a mark on a nearby tree. The young master was close!
“Whaaa….” Mina didn’t get it at first, but after witnessing how Lily began to giggle as she started to hurry in a certain direction, she understood… “Oh….” she blushed, then awkwardly touched her cut hand. Will the young master accept her like this?
She didn’t have to wait long to know, as Lily quickly found Victor’s trace and began to follow it until they reached a very dark and ominous place in the forest…
Lily said nothing as she walked forward then vanished from Mina’s sight. Mina, knowing that this must be a safe area, quickly followed.
The darkness vanished and was replaced by a small clearing.
Victor was sitting there with Mana. They were scamming two poor girls into signing some shady contract.
And a girl they knew, Margret, was tied and hanging from a tree with a burning hot campfire below her!
“That slut finally got her due!” That was what Lily thought as she smiled and ran to her young master then threw her nimble body in his embrace as he stood up to welcome her. She took a deep breath, filling her lungs with his sweet smell!
“Sister, what happened to your hand?” Mana suddenly asked. Ruining the harmonious atmosphere.
“One of the guys before….” Mina began to tell her sister the story.
“Young master?” Lily asked as she felt Victor's body tense up and release a murderous aura that she never felt before in her life… she slowly let go of him and stood to the side as she knew what this was about… She was not the one who needed his hug the most!
“Come here!” Victor said as he reached for Mina who was looking down and pulled her into his chest then embraced her hard.
“Don’t worry…” He said, “No matter what, you are still mine. I will find a way to fix you up…” He whispered in her little ear.
“Um…” She said as her tears began to tear up, she feared that Victor would not like her now that she became like this.
“Is that bastard still alive?” Victor asked slowly.
“Probably….” she whispered as tears began to fall from her eyes.
“Don’t worry, You are still my sweet Mina!” he whispered and kissed her hair, reassuring her again.
Mina didn’t answer as she began to weep, she had been holding it all this time. She was just a teenager after all!
“Don’t worry….” he kept saying as the two girls, who had just been forced to sign their lives away, began to shake from the very scary cold look in his eyes.
