Chapter 840: Nightmare Tower. 4

Unlike Ruby, Violet couldn't make progress on her second attempt. After all, unlike Ruby, Violet hadn't been trained by Scathach Scarlett, and her 'foundation' wasn't as solid as Ruby's.

And just as Victor had said, she relied more on her flames for most things, which was why she was struggling so much in the tower.

Her mistakes were being exposed blatantly, and even though Violet wanted to deny it, she had to acknowledge that what she was doing was wrong.

Because of that, on her sixth attempt, she tried something different.

Instead of relying on her flames, she would rely on her basic vampire powers... and her special eyes.

Standing in the middle of a green forest, Violet sighed.

She instinctively realized that this place was dangerous to use her power in. The leaves seemed normal, but she was sure that just a spark of fire could make this whole place explode.

Due to her previous attempts, she had become quite paranoid in this tower. She didn't trust anything anymore, not even the 'rest' area where she woke up when she died.

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm This feeling of never being able to let her guard down... Honestly, it was quite stressful.

With the steel sword in her hand, Violet crouched a bit and dashed forward.

She began running through the forest, using the agility of vampires to her advantage.

ROOOOOOOOAR!

Several loud noises echoed around, proving that whatever these animals were, they had just woken up.

But even though she heard it, she didn't stop running. Jumping through the trees, using the trunks for support, Violet was doing parkour in the forest.

At one point, she saw a large tree and used its branch to support herself and took a huge leap upwards.

When she was above the trees, Violet's violet eyes began to glow slightly. In that moment, she could see 5 seconds into the future.

...

"Victor... This is..." Agnes held Victor's arms.

"Yes. She's using that," Victor nodded.

"This girl... She really doesn't listen," Agnes sighed.

"Well, if she listened, she wouldn't be Violet," Victor smiled.

"... The way she's using that power, can you do it too?" Natashia asked.

"Yes, I can, but I don't," Victor replied.

"Why?"

"Because it hinders me," Victor stared at Violet's screen for a few seconds. "With my reaction time, with my speed, predicting 5 seconds into the future is irrelevant when I can react to almost everything at extreme speed."

In the 1 second that Victor would spend 'looking' into the future, he could use that time to close the gap with the opponent and kill them.

People underestimate how broken speed can be.

But for someone like Violet who doesn't have that advantage, this tool was very useful.

Proof of that was the next scene that just happened. In mid-air, Violet turned her shoulder to the left, and a moment later, a four-legged animal appeared, biting at the 'air' instead of her shoulder.

This animal looked like a canine race of humans, but its entire skin was covered in plants, making it look more like a monster than an actual animal.

Instead of attacking the wolf, Violet's entire body turned into a swarm of bats, and she flew away.

In the next moment, 5 more plant wolves appeared, biting at the air.

"... Huh? Since when can she do that?" Agnes asked.

"That was something she learned while playing with Ruby and Pepper in the past," Siena answered Agnes.

"... She could shape-shift from a young age?" Once again, Agnes was surprised.

"Yes...? I thought you knew that? I mean, she's your daughter, right?" Siena spoke.

"...." Agnes obviously didn't know. What Violet had just done was a racial ability, but despite being a racial ability, you had to fully master your shape-

shifting to do this.

"Not to mention it wouldn't be surprising if they knew how to do this, after all, they are the women who have been drinking Victor's blood from the beginning," Kaguya pointed out.

Agnes blinked twice...

"That's true..." Agnes knew how powerful her husband's blood was; one proof of this was Natashia, who overcame her lightning weakness just by evolving after drinking his blood.

The swarm of bats that was flying above the trees suddenly began to descend towards the ground, they started to gather, and in the next moment, Violet appeared.

A loud crash was heard, and the ground beneath Violet shattered, giving her the momentum to fly towards the wolves.

Sensing danger, the wolves scattered, leaving only one in the middle, surrounding Violet, and attacking in a pincer formation.

Two on each side, and one in the middle.

Violet didn't stop her attack; she kept advancing. When the wolves were about to bite her, she turned into a swarm of bats again and appeared behind the first wolf, effectively putting them all in her line of sight.

With a horizontal swing, she slashed all the wolves, killing them instantly.

Proving that the wolves were easy to kill, but complicated due to their unique composition and abilities that 'countered' Violet's 'main' abilities.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

A portal appeared near the group of wolves.

Violet looked at the portal and began walking towards it. When she was about to reach the gate, she suddenly crouched.

A wolf emerged from the ground and bit at the air where Violet's neck would be.

"You fucker, did you think I would let my guard down with such an obvious trap?" Violet growled as she used her sword to pierce the wolf.

"....." Pepper, Lacus, Siena, and Scathach watched this.

"... Well, at least she didn't make the same mistake as Ruby," Lacus scratched her head.

"Unlike Ruby, she failed more times, so she was more on guard," Scathach said.

"Humpf, Scathach's 'powerful' daughter who is more 'capable' than my daughter let her guard down twice, so I can say that my 'incapable' daughter has surpassed her," Agnes snorted.

A vein popped on Scathach's head, but she didn't say anything because Agnes was right; Ruby letting her guard down was against everything Scathach had taught.

"See? Even you—" When Agnes was about to say more to Scathach, her mouth was covered by Siena, Pepper, and Lacus.

"Agnes, you idiot. Stop provoking my mom; it will only backfire on us!" Siena whispered strongly with blood-red eyes.

"Don't you know her mood is chaotic because of her transformation? Do you want to be turned into ashes!?" Lacus whispered. "Or better yet, do you want to turn us into ashes!?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Pepper strongly supported.

"HmmhHmmm!" Agnes tried to say something, but nothing was understood because her mouth was covered.

"It's my daughter's turn now," Natashia smiled.

"Are you confident?" Hestia asked.

"Of course, unlike Violet and Ruby, I've been training with my daughter a lot lately. I bet she won't give a shameful performance," Natashia said.

Victor just shook his head while stroking Roberta's long hair. He wondered when this had become a competition for these 'mothers.'

"As I said, Darling, you don't need to worry; they're not in any danger," Roxanne spoke.

Victor sighed. "I know, but it's hard to control these feelings."

Roxanne just smiled; she knew very well that it was impossible not to make him worry. After all, that was his nature.

The screen changed, and soon a blonde woman appeared, sitting on the ground with 30 daggers in front of her.

"Hmm... These daggers are very subpar; there are visible imperfections." She picked up a dagger and examined it.

Rumble, Rumble.

The dagger was covered in golden lightning.

"Although they are quite sensitive to energy... Hmm."

"Maybe it's the properties of the metal? After all, iron is a conductor... or something my husband added?" Sasha touched her chin while thinking.

"Speaking of which, I haven't checked this room yet." A static field began to be created with Sasha at the center, spreading throughout the room.

"A bed, a bathroom, a fridge, hmm?" Sasha picked up a dagger and threw it towards a wall.

But instead of piercing it, it got stuck.

"Oh?"

Sasha approached the wall and gave it a strong kick, breaking the wall.

Soon, Sasha saw a whole new room with better weapons.

"Hmm..." The static field entered the room, and she looked at the weapons. "I can use this." She smiled.

"Static field? What's that?" Agnes asked.

"It's something that Sasha and I developed recently. We realized that compared to Victor, our spatial senses are quite limited, so we use our lightning to create a field where we can sense everything within it," Natashia explained.

"... Isn't that too overpowered?" Agnes said.

Those words only made Natashia smile. "Of course it is." She looked back at her daughter.

"Seeing Victor use our lightning better than us made me realize that I was limiting my way of thinking too much. Originally, my family was of lightning spirits; our power comes from that ancestry, so it's understandable that our mastery of lightning can be equal to or even surpass that of the spirit, depending on our own development."

"So my daughter and I spent hours trying to improve our ability." Natashia finished.

"... And you didn't invite me." Victoria suddenly spoke.

"....." Natashia choked.

"To be fair, you only awakened your lightning recently when you finally stopped being annoying and decided to follow my advice."

"...." These words didn't make Victoria's gaze lose its coldness. In fact, they made her look even colder.

"... But doesn't this fit the same problem as Violet and me?" Agnes spoke after thinking for a moment.

Finding an opportunity to escape her younger sister's gaze, Natashia looked at Agnes and said:

"Not exactly."

"Unlike your fire, the use of our lightning is more versatile."
