Oben continued, "But still that doesn't explain how he has the ability to come back to life after dying. Anyway...it doesn't matter now as you two might get your wishes fulfilled."
Sae narrowed her eyes and said in a tone of concern, "Brother, at least, tell me now, why are you working for someone evil like him? I know you would never do it willingly for no reason, especially when you dedicated your entire life to eradicating someone evil who only became like that due to circumstances."
Nyissa also eagerly looked on as she said, "Grandfather, now that nobody is here now, why did you teach me the spell to help Viktor become immune to his weakness temporarily? I also know that you willingly let yourself get caught by my chains while Viktor fought Borin."
Before, when Nyissa and Viktor were trapped in a cage together, Oben had taught Nyissa certain spells mentally, and Nyissa was talented enough to pick it up through his instructions and even cast them right after.
Even though Oben's action confused her, she was relieved to know that her grandfather was still there and not some monster occupying his body.
*BOOM!*
Suddenly the floor shook, making everyone look at the huge hole in the ceiling, knowing that the fight between two beings of immense power could be quite devastating as they could see rubble falling down.
It was as if the whole mansion was slowly crumbling down because of the earth-shaking fight that was going on outside.
Viktor was astonishingly suppressing Bamir by leaving bleeding injuries on his body that made Bamir feel as if they were icy cold, spreading an excruciating stinging sensation and how even his normal healing factor wasn't helping to heal these claw injuries.
Viktor was literally unstoppable and was completely aggressive like a berserk wild animal. He wouldn't stop attacking, and even the Ranars that came to attack him all got turned to ice statues and smashed to pieces with just a stomp from Viktor.
Just like when he almost killed Nyissa, Viktor didn't seem to be exactly conscious of himself, but something wild and angry was instead controlling his body.
Viktor again pounced on Bamir, making him fall to the ground as he sat atop him and tried to claw his face as Bamir desperately continued to hold off Viktor's large claws from tearing his face.
Bamir said with gritted teeth, "You are just supposed to be a mortal...I can't let you come in my way…"
"GRRR…" Viktor only let out a low growl as his claws increasingly got closer and closer to Bamir's face.
Bamir was literally feeling as if his limbs had gone numb from the icy feeling enveloping his whole body.
"If only I had my real body…" Bamir knew he would have definitely stood a good chance if he were not forced to occupy this mortal body.
However, his strength was failing, and Viktor's mouth, dripping with his saliva, was increasingly coming closer towards his head!
"NO!" Bamir knew Viktor was trying to eat his head, but he couldn't find the strength to escape from this terrifying beast.
"GROWL!" Viktor let out an angry growl as an icy layer began to envelop Bamir's body, making his eyes widen.
Bamir desperately tried to use his flames to melt the icy layer, but his flames were constantly getting put off, and his energy was already at a depleted state because of the injuries he had suffered.
The icy layer suddenly began to spread over his limbs, and Viktor clutched them harder as they broke into pieces like glass.
"NO! I can't fail here!" Bamir wasn't afraid of dying since this wasn't his real body, but it seemed as if he didn't want to let Viktor defeat him here as well.
But Bamir was now completely helpless since Viktor smashed his limbs to pieces and could only helplessly watch as the icy layer continued to spread over his head.
Realizing that he was going to lose this body, Bamir's expression suddenly turned into an elated one as he laughed, "Haha, you may be defeating me here...but I will be taking your planet...I will turn it into hell just like this place...Next time we meet...you will be kneeling before me…" Bamir said in a dark tone before the icy layer covered his head, freezing his manic expression.
Viktor seemed unperturbed by his words and opened his large jaws wide, lowering his head to crush the icy head.
*Crack!*
The sound of glass crumbling sounded as Viktor crushed Bamir's head into small icy bits and got up, feeling satisfied by killing his prey. His surroundings were eerily silent without any Ranars in sight because he destroyed them all, and only icy fragments littered the land around him.
His radiant silver fur fluttered as the cold wind blew across his face as he continued to stand there in a daze, nobody knowing what was exactly going on in his mind.
Meanwhile, inside the mansion, Sae and Nyissa couldn't help but smile, seeing that Viktor had come out as the victor in the end. As if in sync, they glanced at each other, thinking that they should go see Viktor.
However, Oben's expression seemed complicated as he sighed, "So it has come to this...I knew it…"
Sae knitted her brows and asked, "What do you mean, Brother?"
Oben looked at her and then looked at the cages around him. He closed his eyes as he raised his staff and struck the ground as a wave of black energy spread in all directions.
Sae and Nyissa were confused by his actions, wondering what he was up to. But they were astonished to see the cages disappearing while the ones trapped inside were shining with a brilliant white light.
"You are freeing them…" Sae was the first one to realize what Oben was doing. She could see that Oben was freeing the souls from the fake physical bodies they were trapped in, resulting in the souls finally being able to leave their mortal prison.
"But why now?" Nyissa was relieved, but she had to ask out of curiosity, especially after everything Oben had done before to trap them.
