Chapter 1035: Come to me. 3
"I will make you move... Even if I have to destroy this damn moon." She pointed her palm at Victor, and a concentrated beam of destructive energy flew toward Victor.
Looking at that beam of light, Victor casually punched the air. For a moment, reality distorted, and the power that was coming towards him returned to Kali.
[... He just punched reality?] Amara spoke.
[Yes...] Roxanne nodded, clearly as shocked as her sister.
[That's nonsense.] Amara sighed.
[We all know that.] Roxanne sighed, too.
Kali vanished from her location and appeared behind Victor. Initially, that beam of light was just to distract Victor, but she didn't expect him to send it back like that.
'Can this still be called martial arts?' Kali thought incredulously, but she didn't stop her actions.
Opening her hands into claw-like shapes, the power of destruction manifested into two constructs resembling animal claws.
She attacked Victor, but the claws stopped three centimeters before touching his skin. Kali felt as if she had struck an extremely resistant material that not even her power could destroy.
"... What is this? This isn't just martial arts..." She felt her pride sting as she spoke those words. After all, it seemed as if she were throwing a tantrum or something, but she was too curious.
Knowing Victor, she knew that if he said he wouldn't use anything other than martial arts, he would keep his word. So the technique he used now must be some kind of martial arts she doesn't know.
"Over time, I've learned various martial arts, and I've also seen various martial arts through the memories of the beings I absorbed. Thanks to these experiences, I've managed to create my own unique style of martial arts, a style that has seven levels of mastery. This martial art is a combination of everything I've learned since I was mortal."
"What you just attacked was what I call the 'energy barrier.' By using my energy cyclically in my body, I create an infinite cycle of energy being renewed." A dark violet energy covered Victor's body.
"Of course, such a technique can only be used by supernatural beings with good regeneration because it demands a lot from the physical body."
"Isn't this different from using my divinity to protect myself?"
"Wrong, use your eyes, you'll understand."
Doing as Victor ordered, Kali saw that the energy was covered with a thin layer of Victor's soul.
"... Are you insane?" That was a genuine question. What kind of lunatic uses their soul like that!?
"There are only two things that can harm a soul, END divinity and soul manipulation." Victor assumed a martial arts pose, lowering his center of gravity and raising his right arm.
"What you're seeing now is level 7 of my martial art, the level where all my movements are covered by a thin layer of my soul." Even though it's just a thin layer, due to the properties of his soul, his soul was essentially the most resistant item in the universe.
"Remember, Kali. The difference between a genius and a madman is that one has results and the other doesn't." Victor's right hand darkened completely as violet veins of power covered his arm.
Kali widened her eyes when she couldn't move from her location! She looked down and saw that the entire ground was covered in an unknown violet energy, like spiderwebs.
'What is this!?'
"Grit your teeth, Kali, because this is going to hurt."
"Wait-."
BOOOOOOOOOM!
Kali felt her world spin.
Seeing Kali flying towards space, Victor flexed his legs and disappeared the next moment. He appeared behind her, still using his right arm, and punched her back.
Cough.
Golden blood spurted from her mouth, and she flew back toward the moon.
Victor could continue, but if he did, she would truly die, so he simply vanished and returned to the same spot he was in.
He sat in the air and began to meditate. The next moment, Kali fell onto the moon, forming a crater, completely unconscious.
'Let's wait for her to wake up. In the meantime, I'll close the space and slow down time.' Victor thought as he did exactly what he had in mind.
...
Rose, Morgana, Scathach, and Haruna were on Anna's personal balcony, looking towards the moon, specifically at Victor and Kali's fight.
"That... Darling... That..." Rose was utterly shocked.
"He hasn't even reached grandmaster yet, but he's created a martial art that can rival the status of a grandmaster... He's a damn monster." Scathach had a massive smile on her face.
"Aren't you shocked to see this, Scathach?" Morgana asked.
"Of course I am, but I'm also very excited," Scathach spoke.
"When did he create these martial arts? I didn't see him training." Haruna asked the most crucial question. As someone who created her own martial arts, she understood very well that it took an immense amount of practice to create something.
"Victor was the only one who fully utilized the 2000 years of seclusion we spent because he spent most of the time training and teaching. Remember that in teaching, the master himself learns something. I know very well what it feels like to improve just by observing the ideas and thoughts of your student." Scathach said. There's a reason she trained so many talents in the past.
It's because these talents always taught her something. The perfect example of this was Victor himself; even before becoming so strong, Scathach managed to progress because she observed his ideas and thoughts.
"I can understand that feeling. It was only when I trained the Valkyries that I could see the 'other' side to becoming a grandmaster." Rose spoke.
"Don't forget the fact that Victor has the life experience of billions of beings much older than him, and you know the 'space' within Victor where the true form of our sisters and our two daughters reside." Anna began to speak. "Combining this fact, as well as how our brains work, and Darling's genius, creating a martial art that serves only him is an easy thing to do."
The women present absorbed Anna's words in silence for a few minutes. They had nothing to add to the words of the second Empress, everything she said was correct. At the same time, as they had these thoughts, they watched Kali's fight and how Victor ended it.
"Even though we are both dragon gods, with the lineage of a blood dragon, Victor is the most abnormal of us all. He is not only our progenitor but also an Eldritch God. None of us knows exactly what kind of power this other side of him has. After all, he is still a child compared to our sister Azathoth." Finishing her explanation, Anna fell silent.
The women present absorbed Anna's words in silence for a few minutes. They had nothing to add to the words of the second Empress, everything she said was correct. At the same time, as they had these thoughts, they watched Kali's fight and how Victor ended it.
When Victor began to meditate, Scathach spoke. "I need to learn that."
"The master learns from the student, and the student learns from the master. You taught him your martial art, then he took that martial art and created something completely unique," Rose spoke. "It's time for you to do the same."
"Exactly." Scathach smiled excitedly. The prospect of getting stronger always got her excited.
"Unfortunately, this martial art doesn't seem to fit my fighting style." Rose sighed.
"We can't be 100% sure of that," Haruna spoke. "Remember his words. He used 'all of his experience' to create these martial arts."
"And as far as I know, Victor is a master in various blade martial arts. I'm sure he would make a martial art that could fully utilize Junketsu."
"... That's true... Darling doesn't do half-baked jobs."
"Hmm, I wonder what the name of this martial art is."
[The Seven Arts of the Blood Dragon Primogenitor.]
The women were startled when they suddenly heard Victor's voice.
"Victor!?"
Victor appeared floating in front of them.
"Hello." Victor smiled.
"What-..." Anna looked at the moon, then back at Victor.
"How are you in two places at the same time?"
"You're looking at a mirage of my past self, honey." Victor chuckled.
"... Your past self... Oh, you're manipulating time again."
"Ugh, time nonsense again. It's really hard to grasp the intricacies of time sometimes." Haruna grumbled. She had so many questions about how this was possible, but she didn't bother and just let it go.
"How does your martial art work, Victor?" Scathach didn't bother with that nonsense, and she went straight to the important stuff.
Victor smiled lightly when he saw Scathach's enthusiasm.
Scathach blushed slightly when she felt Victor's emotions and saw his gaze, but she didn't care; she wanted him to explain!
"In simple terms, the 7 levels of my martial art are divided into 3 phases. The first three are where I use my body as a weapon."
"Hmm, I'd better show you personally."
Victor snapped his fingers, and the next moment, they were in an open plain.
"The first three levels use a blend of various martial arts to create the perfect close combat martial art." Victor assumed a pose with a low center of gravity.
"The first level trains your gravity control and teaches you to stand on any surface." Victor began to execute his martial arts movements slowly.
The women's eyes were glued to his body, and they felt like children again as they trained with their respective masters.
