Chapter 459: A worthy opponent
When the light blue pillar fell apart, Victor's appearance was revealed.
His armor, at some point, exploded because it couldn't handle Victor's power.
His entire body was pale white, ice claws could be seen on his hands and feet, his ears became sharper, and long bat wings were spread out behind him.
A kind of white scales were spread all over his body, protecting the important parts and creating something like an ice armor.
"...That's how it feels, huh... And to think that this is just the initial transformation..."
Victor could feel it in his gut, the output of the power he could now use was incredibly high. There was the familiar euphoric feeling that all transformations had, but this one seemed to be more special.
After all, Victor, from the start, was more proficient in the power of ice.
Because it was the first power he had fully trained under a master like Scathach.
The rest of his powers he'd learned by watching, and didn't have a teacher to teach him.
Raising a hand to the side.
FUSHHHHHHHH.
The odachi that had fallen from Victor's hands returned to his hand, and the moment he picked up the Odachi, the entire Odachi began to change, just like it did when he transformed into the Vampire Count form of the Fulger Clan.
The Odachi was covered by the matched element, this case being ice.
He raised his sword to the side.
"Girls, predators are coming from the opposite side."
Eleanor and Anrietha were the first to react, they disappeared from where they were and appeared on top of the stone castle, and they saw invisible 'footsteps' on the ground.
"Tsk, sneaky, they split his forces, huh..." Anrietha narrowed her eyes. It didn't take a genius to figure out that those predators Rose was fighting weren't the entire pack.
"Anrietha." Eleanor raised the Greatsword and prepared.
"Leave it to me." Anrietha whispered some incomprehensible words and increased all of Eleonor's abilities.
"We can't let them leave this place, the fight will become problematic if they join the others."
ROAAAAAAAAAR!
As Eleanor said this, she heard a gorilla roar.
She looked up and saw the gorilla teleporting behind Victor.
"Freeze." Cold air shot out of Victor's back and exploded on the Gorilla's body.
"...Huh?"
"I have some things to take care of... I'll deal with you later." Victor spoke in his usual cold voice, and soon he turned his face to the girls who were fighting the monster horde.
Specifically, he looked underground. He saw something while he was fighting the gorilla before, and he needed to confirm it before something went wrong like this again.
'Centipedes?'
'Shit.' Victor disappeared, and moved in front of Alexa, grabbed the woman unannounced like a sack of potatoes, and quickly jumped towards the sky.
"V-Victor."
A monster popped out of the ground just as Victor grabbed Alexa.
'Acid...' Victor thought when he saw the color of the hole. Now he understood how the centipedes moved underground.
"Girls, there are some sort of centipede monsters in the ground." Victor's voice resounded on the spot as he casually swung the Odachi, and the Centipede's body was split in half, then rapidly frozen.
"... I know what it is." Rose appeared on a building next to Victor.
"It must be the children of that centipede monster. No wonder that monster was so weak, it was just a monster capable of spawning other monsters…"
"I see..." Victor put Alexa down:
"A Spear user should always pay attention to her surroundings, like a sphere around herself." Victor's cold voice took Alexa by surprise.
But understanding that he was giving advice, she nodded.
"When I get back, I will ask my master to train you. She is an expert in the Spear after all.."
"…Eh?" Why are you throwing me under the bus!? What have I done to you!?
"I know, it's an honor, etc." Victor misunderstood Alexa's shock.
"...." The woman's lips twitched.
"Vic-" Before she could argue, he vanished and appeared in front of Dorothy.
And again, the scene was repeated as he lifted the woman onto his shoulders.
He disappeared from the place after killing the monsters with a casual swing from Odachi.
And appeared next to Alexa.
"…Eh?" It was so fast that Dorothy didn't notice a thing.
"These sneaky tactics are getting old."
"This is how monsters fight, we just have to adapt."
"Wrong, we must force them on our ground, just as Eleanor did." The cool air around Victor started to cool even more.
"C-Cold." Dorothy quickly walked away from Victor.
"Valkyries gather behind me. You too, Eleanor and Anrietha!"
"...." Anrietha and Eleanor, who were about to clash with the predators, stopped in their tracks and quickly used their speed to get back to Victor's side.
When all the girls were behind Victor, Rose included.
Victor lifted the Odachi to the sky.
"A world of weapons... A world of ice..."
"Ice World..."
FUSHHHHHHHH
"That's definitely not the power of a young Vampire." Rose commented aloud when she saw the scenery that was changing.
All the buildings, trees, monsters, mountains, everything turned to pure ice, and, soon after, various types of weapons began to emerge from the ground.
The other girls behind Victor could only look at the man's back with shocked faces.
Eleanor, however, was curious about something.
'This power is similar to mine, with one difference, it's creating ice, I'm manipulating the earth. I can also create earth, but it's more efficient to manipulate what you already have, you spend less energy...'
'Speaking of energy … Just how much energy does he have to cover the entire city with pure ice?'
They knew they were just fine because the environment around Victor wasn't affected as much as the rest of the city. Victor's bat wings were protecting them.
Victor approached an ordinary sword, grabbed the sword, and threw it at the monster that was coming out of the ice cocoon, and soon the monster's entire body was frozen again.
"...This is how these weapons work, prey on the monster in the ice, and eliminate them-."
ROAAAAAAAR!
"...." Victor looked up and saw the gorilla on top of a building beating its chest, a clear display of defiance.
His intent was so clear that even a stone could understand.
"Okay..." Victor's smile grew:
"Let's Dance." Victor vanished and appeared in front of the monster, and soon the claws and Odachi clashed.
BOOOM.
