Victor’s situation was really bad. He was not sure if the fated one was a scion or just a normal person. But his gut was telling him it was the former.
What shit luck! Throughout his previous life, he only ever met two scions in person. One of them was the one who killed his family. And now, this guy would be the third one he meets after Tom and Alex. It was as if the world itself was throwing them at him.
He didn’t have many tools to use against this guy. He couldn’t enslave him as his blood slave slots were already full. And if he tried to kill him or hurt him badly he would suffer a lethal backlash as his fate shield was still in cool down.
Victor turned his head and looked at the surprised Alpha. His earlier words shocked her.
"Don’t worry! I meant, I am screwed for now. You will be screwed too, but later,” he said. Making Alpha, who had completely understood him blush. "Pervert!" she spat as she looked away. She couldn’t understand why she reacted like that. She hadn’t even flinched when Titus kept calling her dirty names.
Victor noticed her reaction to his teasing, and that made him wonder. Maybe, after he made her his blood slave their fates became interconnected. Maybe, Just maybe there's a chance. But this girl was no fool. Victor tested her the previous day when he ordered her to shower in front of him. She obeyed him without complaints. And that was unnatural, considering her first reaction when she met him, and the fact that she seemed to hate all men, especially after what Titus did to her. How can a cold proud girl like her become docile just like that?
Victor knew perfectly what was going on in her little mind. She was planning to obey him temporarily, to use him for revenge and maybe to rebuild her family, then get rid of him after that.
All slavery skills have a fatal weakness. If the the Authority if the enslaved grows much higher than the master, the seal can be broken. And Alpha, as a Von Richter heir only needed to level up to raise her Authority. She believed that one day she would have enough Authority to break his blood seal.
Poor Alpha didn’t know that all her plans were destined to fail the moment she licked his blood. But now he needed to know more about his future enemy.
“Did you meet anyone besides me and Alex here?” he suddenly asked her.
“No, I didn’t venture deep. The spiders seemed to become more poisonous the deeper you go. And there are some very sticky webs. There were some corpses in those webs though. They were wearing modern clothes, so I suspect that they were the first ones who found this place.” She answered while wondering about what he discovered.
Victor nodded, as he pondered about the current situation. It means whoever this savior is, he only entered the dungeon recently.
This girl was a damsel in distress. Locked in here alone in the dungeon and was fated to be rescued by a hero. Who would help her rebuild her family that sooner or later would become his.
It seems that Tom’s fate brought him here by chance to save him from Baron. His fate will properly not affect Alpha’s fate. Destiny would have not brought him here if it did.
Victor was like a hacker who used Tom as a Trojan horse to enter Alpha’s and her fated one’s destiny. If he didn’t fix the current situation, the world would turn this guy into his enemy sooner or later.
"What kind of guys do you like?" he asked her again after pondering for some time, making her blush.“I don’t want to answer that,” she said as she turned her head to the side. Victor didn't force her to answer. He was just curious what kind of person her fated one would be.
“What did you see? I know you were looking at my fate.” Alpha asked him suddenly, making him look at her in surprise.
“Do you know about fate?” he asked.
“Not a lot. My family tried to grasp it but failed. I need to warn you though. Those looking at fate don't usually live long.” She said,
Victor nodded, he already knew that. people usually died from fate's backlashes. But he had his fate weaver class and his massive authority. So, if he played his cards carefully, he would be able to cheat the system.
“Do you really want to know what I saw?” he asked her.
“Yes!” she answered firmly. While knowing fate is usually not a good thing, she was in a very bad situation at the moment,
“I can’t tell you. I would suffer a backlash. But I can say that there is something dangerous waiting for us here,” he said.
Before Alpha could question him further, they heard Alex’s high-pitched scream coming from the back. So, he looked at Alpha and quickly headed to Alex’s position with her, while taking out his dagger.
Alex, who seemed to have put on her clothes in a hurry, was standing with her hair still dripping wet in front of the fountain. A door with a flight of stairs going down into the ground had appeared in the wall behind it.
“What did you do?” asked Victor as he inspected the new door. This girl couldn't be left alone even for a minute without creating some kind of trouble.
“I… I.., I saw a drawing of a spider in the fountain. So I screamed and instinctively hit it with my spear. Then the wall opened up,” she answered with some embarrassment.
“And you still call yourself a man!” Alpha spat at her as she inspected the doorway, too.
Alex didn’t say anything, she just shot Alpha a glare. And was about to ask Victor what to do when he suddenly threw a towel at her head.
“Dry your hair, I will go in with Alpha while you guard the gate. There may be spiders in there.” Victor said. He quickly washed his face and eyes then gestured to Alpha to follow him as he entered the secret door.
Alex was a little surprised but quickly felt warm inside. Her young master really cared about her. But she didn’t know that Victor was just afraid, she would cause more trouble. And he needed to discuss some things with Alpha in private.
Victor slowly descended the stairs while Alpha was illuminating the path using a flashlight he gave her. At the bottom, there was a hall with a huge mural on the wall and a dusty stone table with two artifacts on it.
The ground was covered with many interlocking lines as if they were some kind of alien formation.
“Be careful!” said Victor as he slowly used his appraisal skill on everything around him.
“It’s safe.” he said after his scan found no traps, and he walked slowly into the room.
“Are those the dungeon’s rewards?” Alpha asked in surprise while looking at the stuff on the table.
“No, Do you know what dungeons are?” he asked her.
“According to my family's research, they are protective measurements taken by the world to contain invaders.” she said,
“No, not only invaders.” Victor contradicted her. This information he knew was only discovered after the reckoning. "Hostile dungeons make up only 1% of all the discovered ones. Most of them are just powerful creatures or domains that somehow entered this world. Think of it like a big planet attracting asteroids and space dust. Most of it will burn on entry. But the strong ones succeed, and the world creates a dungeon around them,” he added.
“This dungeon must have been created to contain a sealed world shard that entered our world. This mural tells the tale of a demon Arachne who was sealed here. This temple was constructed as a base for this world shard.” he said as he looked at the two treasures.
“Those two are the locked world catalyst?” Alpha asked while pointing at the two artifacts quickly figuring it out.
“Yes!” said Victor as he looked at them with a frown.
| Arachne slayer’s Spear / S Rank Critical damage against INSECTS. | Horas’s Jewel / SS Rank Effect: Mask presence. Depends on the Authority of the owner. Current Owner = NONE ( OPTION SET = DEAD ) OPTIONS AVAILABLE 4/10 |
Those things were probably fated to be discovered by the scion. And that Jewel was amazing.This was the key that she would have used to leave the dungeon if he didn’t come here.
“The spear is meant to be used to kill the Black Widow, While the tiara is a disguise artifact. It’s the reason why no spider is entering here. The array on this tower is amplifying its effects to the entire temple.” Victor said as he Took Out his phone and began to take photos of the Array.
“Ah. Wouldn’t the black widow be very powerful?” Alpha asked as she slowly watched the mural, where many warriors faced the Arachne then entrapped her in a hole in the ground, then build this temple to seal everything around her forever.
“Probably not. There are no living beings here for her to eat. And this dungeon is only E-ranked. So it must be weakened considerably.” He said as he took some samples from the ground and the walls.
“Go up, This place will no longer be safe after I take those things. So I need you to help Alex in case some spiders suddenly attack.” He said, making Alpha nod then leave here after giving this hall one last look.
Victor quickly took out a bottle from his ring and applied its contents to the tip of the spear. This bottle was the one he inherited from the late Nick.He doesn’t know if this would be useful but this was the best he could do for now.
After that, he quickly grabbed the spear and the Jewel before following Alpha. When he reached the top, He was surprised to see that Alpha was blocking the door, while Alex was standing there, facing a newcomer with a frown.
He was a boy, about 12 - 13 years old. He was wearing a robe and carrying a staff while glaring at Alex with vigilance.
Alpha was frozen in place as she looked at him. This boy was very cute, especially with his brown hair and hazel eyes.
Victor, who was behind her, quickly noticed the situation and frowned as he used his appraisal skill from his hiding place behind Alpha in the shadow of the stairs.
| Sebastian Silver LEVEL: 51 ABNORMAL STATUS: Eternal Martial arts side effect (slow aging) CLASS: Battle Mage AUTHORITY: 6 Strength: 65 Luck: 35 Order: 19 SKILLS : FATE STATUS: S+ (SCION) |
Victor quickly docked his head and stepped back a little to hide himself. This guy is definitely not a kid and was the most dangerous enemy he has ever met after his return. And looking at Alpha’s reaction, he could tell that this bastard was her type. His plan was not finalized yet, but he had to improvise it seemed. He doesn’t need to be that guy’s enemy.
He quickly activated his disguise skill, changing his appearance before hiding the Jewel in his storage ring.
As for the spear, he held it proudly then walked out of the secret door after pushing the astonished Alpha a little then ran to Alex’s side while screaming.
“Young master Alex, look what I found.” He screamed excitement as he ran to the side of the astonished Alex.
“Sorry, Alex. But the best way to beat a scion is to face him with another.” Thought Victor.
“Ah, who is that cute kid?” Victor suddenly asked in astonishment while pointing at Sebastian who looked back at him with hidden lust in his eyes.
Victor was no longer a man. He was now disguised as a female. Using the looks of a very famous movie star from his previous life. Her looks would score 50% on the Lily scale.
“Sorry Alpha, I will be stealing your man.” He thought as he flashed his sweetest smiles.
