Chapter 540 His True Strength?

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

"Legendary figure? I am flattered, haha," Viktor laughed as he leaned against the balcony rails.

"What? You said that the vampire king made you a general. And since you seemed like a diligent and hardworking boy at that time, I felt like you would have definitely become someone powerful and well-renowned. I only hope you were able to save your family later on as well. It seems unfair the treatment all of you got just because of their backgrounds," Taya said, feeling bad for Viktor's blood family. She also couldn't help but feel angry when thinking about it.

Viktor's expression also became complicated as he thought about it. But he had yet to know more about his parents.

"A very long time must have passed since then. Let's pray they are at a good place," Umilia said with a soft smile as she caressed Viktor's face.

Viktor smiled as he held her hand and kissed it.

Umilia smiled, but then she remembered something and said, "What Taya said may be true after all. I also have yet to tell you something. I should have told you sooner, but at that time, I didn't know if it would be beneficial for you or not."

"What are you talking about?" Viktor asked with a confused look as Taya also looked on in puzzlement.

Umilia sighed before pressing her finger against Viktor's forehead.

He wondered what she was going to show him when suddenly a number of memories raced through his mind. The more he saw, the more his eyes widened.

"This can't be…How is this possible? I should have known or at least remembered something, right?..." Viktor mumbled with a blinking expression. He was not only shocked but also anxious since the first thing he saw was turning into a being that could control dark flames and even almost killed Nyissa. He thought he got knocked out by Nyissa after she accidentally killed him, but he never expected that he actually transformed into a dark entity he couldn't recognize and cause destruction on a large scale he never thought would be possible.

The second thing he saw was when he faced that fallen god in the Naraka Realm and instantly got crushed before he could even put up a fight, or he thought. Only now, he learned that he actually resurrected into a giant, terrifying werewolf that kicked the ass of that fallen god. He even had the ability to manipulate ice which was news to him. Was this why his body and blood always became cold whenever his werewolf bloodline was active?

Fire and ice…he never knew he could manipulate these two elements of nature, and that too in a frightening way.

"What are you feeling now…" Umilia asked after seeing his confused expression.

"What did he see? Umi, show me as well," Taya eagerly asked as she couldn't contain her curiosity. Umilia nodded as she pressed her finger against Taya's forehead.

"Oh my god…Viktor…" Taya mumbled with an astonished look, and for a second, even she couldn't believe the playful and charming Viktor could transform into such terrifying beings that radiated strong killing intent.

Even if she was seeing it through someone else's memories, she could see that the Viktor she saw in those memories was not the Viktor she knew at all. All she could see was uncontrollable bloodthirst and rage that couldn't be satiated.

She found it a miracle that Nyissa and Umilia managed to bring him to his senses before the worst could happen.

"If…this is your true strength, then I don't think no force on Earth could truly stop you. Not even those Champions we came upon," Taya said with her eyebrows still raised.

Viktor blinked his eyes as he shook his head slowly and said, "I…I still find it hard to believe those two are me. Never did I ever experience becoming like that. If I had that much power in me, shouldn't I have known already?"

Umilia shook her head and said, "Not necessarily. Our subconscious can hide secrets we might never even realize, and that includes your memories and your true potential as well."

"Then, can you help me tap into my subconscious?" Viktor eagerly asked.

Umilia shook her head with a sigh, "Sorry…Most probably only you can do it, especially since it is highly possible that your subconscious might not be intact or must be sealed by something we might not understand."

"That is what Sera said as well. She says she can't look into my soul because something is blocking her. I wonder what it is. The frustrating part is that I have no idea how to figure out what is wrong with my soul or whom to ask for help," Viktor said with a shake of his head.

"Don't worry too much about it. You remembered fragments of memories without you expecting them. Maybe more will come to you in time," Taya said in a reassuring tone.

Viktor softly smiled as he nodded, "Let's hope it does. I have never felt so restless about learning my own past like this."

"Maybe the Nameless Knight didn't possess you, but you are the Nameless Knight. It's just that you don't remember your past. The fact that you know the native language only makes sense with this theory. You also used dual swords in the past as well and practiced Void Arts. Everything adds up," Umilia said with a narrowed gaze as Viktor furrowed his brows.

He also felt that her theory may be plausible.

*Boooong!*

Suddenly, all three heard the loud sound of someone striking a drum. The three turned around and looked towards the west and saw a small gathering around what seemed similar to a campfire. Only upon closer look did they see sets of piles of logs stacked beside each other which seemed like a cremation ceremony was going on.

"They must be paying respects to the people they lost today. Let's also go and offer our respects as well," Umilia said as the other two nodded.
