Chapter 300 Ready to fight
"How about you stop calling my sister a bitch. You act like a whore and nobody calls you that, so stop acting like you are better than anyone here!" Yvonne snarled as she slammed her flat hands on the table their group sat around.
The wooden table creaked in response before it broke down.
'Was that really necessary, girl?' Dilan thought, rolling his eyes while keeping quiet. He was more interested in the situation that unfolded than the wooden table.
"Whore? Did you just call me a whore?" Victoria roared, her voice laced with anger. The room's temperature decreased by several degrees at once and shards of Blood-Ice formed on Victoria's body.
She took a step forward and kicked aside the broken parts of the wooden table. The table was smashed into smithereens, while the wooden shards were blasted through the entire room.
Everyone tensed up and the Ascenders threw Victoria a wary glance wondering if it was necessary for them to fight this monster.
Victoria didn't release even a tiny bit of mana yet. She was solely relying on her physical strength and her vampire power to exert heavy pressure that weighed down on everyone inside the large room.
The pressure was not something that could affect Dilan but everyone else clearly felt the power Victoria possessed. She was a noble Vampire, a quite old one at that. Even without the power she gained from the Primordial Ascension, Victoria was not to be underestimated.
Adding the fact that she had quenched her thirst for human blood with Dilan's blood that she considered 'sacred', her vampire powers were more potent than ever before.
"Do you have a death wish?" Victoria gritted her teeth as she continued to march forward, turning the floor below her into Blood-Ice.
She had forgotten about Dilan's earlier request of simply provoking them the moment Yvonne called her a whore. Dilan noticed this but he didn't intend to intervene…not yet.
"I embrace death but I don't intend to die…maybe you want to get a taste of death?" Yvonne spoke in a defiant tone as she stared deep into Victoria's crimson glowing eyes. She was not afraid and took a step closer to Victoria as well, facing her head-on.
In the beginning, Yvonne was bothered by Victoria simply because she was too cozy with Dilan. Kathrine was jealous of every single thing Victoria did but Yvonne was just a bit bothered.
That was what she told herself, that she was just a bit bothered for her sister's sake. However, that was not the entire truth. Yvonne was not honest with herself and the glaring truth became apparent to her the longer the meeting lasted.
When her mind and the chaos of her emotions seemed to have died down, Yvonne was able to join the conversation in a seemingly calm manner. But it only took a tiny provocation that was directed at her sister for all of Yvonne's emotions to bubble up again.
Victoria had now turned into her mortal enemy, and her nemesis at once and Yvonne didn't want to lose out against her…for her sister's sake.
Even then, Yvonne was not entirely honest with herself but that was not something the young woman realized.
"Is that an invitation? Because I will happily oblige," Victoria gave a devilish grin as she revealed her fangs. Her fangs were also growing out of her mouth and began to glow crimson. Victoria's entire body revealed her intention to fight and obliterate her opponent. Bloodlust began to leak from her and shrouded Yvonne tightly.
At that moment, Kathrine appeared by Yvonne's side. She would never allow her little sister to fight the battle she would fight on her own.
Unfortunately, Kathrine was simply not strong enough to compete against Victoria. This was also why she had used her words in an attempt to stir trouble for Victoria, but that didn't seem to have worked well.
Victoria was ready to fight both sisters and not a single trace of hesitation could be perceived in her.
When the situation was about to escalate, everyone's gaze turned to Dilan. They knew that he was the only one who could prevent the worst from happening. Yet, when they saw Dilan's excited expression, they could tell that their leader had lost it.
"Is he really going to let them fight? Right here at that??" Williams suddenly asked. He didn't think that Dilan would endanger anyone else for the sake of his satisfaction. And that was correct!
When the tension reached a certain threshold, where only a tiny spark was required to initiate the start of the battle between Victoria and the sisters, Dilan cleared his throat as he got up from the ground.
Without hesitation, Dilan released his entire strength at once. The room that was already overflowing with Victoria's heavy pressure was replaced by Dilan's sudden influx of power.
Everyone felt a pressure that was three times stronger than before weighing on their body. Sven and the other weaker Ascenders were unable to move, while Victoria, Yvonne, and Kathrine flinched simultaneously.
Victoria turned around as she felt a terrifying sensation from behind her. It was as if death was lurking behind her, which instinctively forced her to calm down, otherwise, she would die for sure.
Even if it was Dilan, who released this sensation, Victoria began to understand that disobeying Dilan would end up devastatingly.
"Did he improve that much?" Kathrine suddenly mumbled as she started to breathe heavily. Her eyes were bloodshot due to the anger she had felt just a moment ago. However, right now, she felt a sudden wave of frustration and disappointment flooding through her.
Kathrine was confident that she had improved a lot during the last three days. She wanted Dilan to be proud of her progress when he returned. Little did she know that she would embarrass herself the moment Dilan revealed his true strength upon returning.
"If you guys want to fight, go outside. Killing and crippling are forbidden. Only Victoria is allowed to be severely injured," Dilan stated the rules before he retracted his powers. Several Ascenders slumped to the ground in response because their legs didn't want to obey them.
"He is so hot~" Victoria mumbled reflexively, not intending to hide her admiration for Dilan's strength and the way he acted. He was just perfect!
Dilan didn't hear what Victoria had said and he left the room to wait for the three women outside. He knew that they would fight once and for all to clear up their misunderstandings.
'Why do I feel like they're going to become best friends after this?' Dilan thought with a faint smile on his lips as he stepped through the door outside the room.
"It's definitely too hot in here…" Kathrine mumbled sarcastically while her body shivered because of the cold Ice-Blood, which had spread through the entire room.
Yvonne just lifted her eyebrow at the comments of the two women but she didn't say anything.
'I really lost my cool there…' She thought while clearing her throat to ask the most important question,
"So…are we still going to fight?"
"Of course. I merely provoked you guys because Dilan told me to but I still want to beat you into a pulp for calling me a whore. Nobody, who dared to treat me this rudely, is still alive! You can be glad that Dilan doesn't allow me to kill you," Victoria answered in all seriousness.
However, oddly enough, Yvonne could tell that Victoria didn't have the intention to kill her, not anymore.
"Wait a moment!" Kathrine suddenly exclaimed and everyone turned their heads to look at her as she continued to speak, "Dilan told you to provoke us? This…"
Kathrine couldn't believe that Dilan would do this to her. She began to question Dilan's intentions and her brain seemed to be clogged which prevented her from thinking properly.
"Calm down sis. He just wanted to see how you would react if someone stronger than you provokes you," Yvonne tried to pacify Kathrine but her eyes turned serious as well.
"But I cannot accept that either. Shouldn't we beat up Dilan instead…maybe?"
