The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick-Chapter 414: The Power of the Damn Bear!
In the dark, profound depths of the cave, a pair of emerald snake-like eyes flashed with sharp menace.
Those piercing eyes gradually retreated from Viktor, their diminishing green glow trembling slightly in the darkness.
Sapphirose's pale form blended perfectly into the shadowy blackness as her eyes slowly closed.
With a subtle disturbance in the air, her silhouette darted swiftly through the cavern.
Soon, her breathing steadied, and the entire cave descended into absolute silence.
The moment a water droplet struck the rocky floor, Sapphirose crouched low, the muscles in her bent legs coiling with tension.
In the next instant, she opened those dangerous green eyes.
Her feet pushed against the ground with tremendous force, launching her pale form like an arrow carving through space as she rushed toward Viktor.
Viktor's left hand, entangled with wooden vines, swiftly moved a wooden blade backward to block her attack.
Ding——!
"Not bad strength," he remarked.
Before the echoing sound faded, his blade pivoted to block in another direction.
Ding——!
Another crisp echo reverberated through the cave.
In the blink of an eye, the entire cavern filled with the sounds of their collision.
Bright sparks erupted continuously, illuminating Sapphirose's pale form and Viktor's black coat in fleeting flashes.
He focused intently on Sapphirose's suddenly revealed figure, carefully listening for the direction of her next attack.
Viktor casually commented on her offensive maneuvers:
"Your speed has improved considerably since our last encounter."
Despite the encompassing darkness, he seemed to perceive with perfect clarity from which direction his opponent would strike.
After a period of crossing blades and flying sparks, Viktor spoke calmly:
"That's enough."
As the words left his lips, Viktor raised his wooden sword, deftly flicking away Sapphirose's cold blade.
Sapphirose leaned back, her emerald snake eyes reflecting a crimson light, vertical pupils dilating slightly as she sensed impending danger.
She instantly retreated to a safe position.
At the same moment, flames ignited in Viktor's hand, as if drawn from the very stone beneath them.
The fire rotated in his palm, instantly illuminating the entire cave.
In the next second, the flames scattered outward, flying toward the surrounding rock walls.
The previously pitch-black cavern became clearly visible in the bright light, revealing even the finest cracks in the stone surfaces.
Meanwhile, Sapphirose's emerald snake eyes gradually dimmed, her pale body now fully exposed before Viktor.
She wore a tattered robe and held a sword without a guard in her hand.
Her long hair cascaded down to the rocky floor like a flowing silver river.
Her muscles were taut and defined, body lines distinct like a masterfully carved sculpture, displaying both strength and primal beauty.
Clear abdominal muscle lines were visible on her tight stomach, and her arms were firm and powerful.
Her legs were full and solid, displaying the raw power honed through high-speed combat.
Yet her face showed no sign of fatigue—or rather, she displayed no emotion whatsoever.
At this moment, Sapphirose pressed the long blade against her skin.
Her flesh, as if alive, slowly writhed and opened a fleshy crevice, drawing the long blade back into her body.
Only then did she slowly straighten up, bowing slightly to Viktor.
"Yes," she acknowledged simply.
Viktor's gaze unabashedly examined Sapphirose.
Having just crossed blades with her, he could see her level.
Level 45.
The last time he'd encountered Sapphirose, she was only at level 41.
It seemed Helnersen's training methods were proving highly effective.
When not in combat mode, Sapphirose stood like an exquisite doll—motionless and eerily still.
Even if someone were to touch her now, she might not show any reaction.
In truth, Viktor had always been curious about Sapphirose's background and origins.
In the game's storyline, Sapphirose had only one brief introduction:
The ultimate human weapon created by the Reiser family.
Eventually, the Reiser family was eliminated by Empress Aurelianne, and information about Sapphirose became even more scarce.
So where did Sapphirose actually come from?
Why was her body so technologically advanced?
Even a legendary dwarf craftsman like Ryan Kent couldn't create a humanoid weapon comparable to what the Reiser family had achieved.
Strictly speaking, Sapphirose belonged to the realm of biotechnology—a field that seemed impossibly advanced for this world.
Although magic was prevalent here, and technology flourished with magical assistance, this level of biotechnology seemed far too sophisticated.
As the final boss of the third chapter, there were undoubtedly many more secrets to be uncovered about Sapphirose.
'Perhaps I need to extract some information from the Reiser family,' Viktor thought.
As he pondered this, a gentle footstep sound emanated from outside the cave.
The sound was as faint as a mosquito's wingbeat, even lighter than the water droplets falling within the cavern.
This barely perceptible footfall slipped silently through the air into Viktor's ears.
Yet he sensed no aura accompanying it.
Had Viktor not been fully attentive to even the slightest disturbance, he might have overlooked this nearly undetectable intruder.
Sapphirose remained motionless as a puppet, apparently unaware of the approaching presence.
Viktor merely glanced briefly toward the source of the sound.
Only when a towering figure appeared before Sapphirose, blocking the faint flickering firelight, did she finally react.
Those green snake eyes narrowed into vertical slits as she stared at the muscular form before her.
"You still failed to detect me," a deep, resonant voice declared.
A massive bear-man appeared before Sapphirose, his majestic eyes fixed upon her with intensity.
Sapphirose's normally expressionless face finally showed gravity, as if registering a genuine threat.
The bear-man's overwhelming presence made even her formidable heart tremble slightly.
In Sapphirose's consciousness, there existed no concept of "master" or "teacher."
She identified the bear-man before her solely as an enemy—an opponent.
Before she could fully mature, the bear-man would continuously battle with her.
She had meticulously recorded every encounter between them:
[99 battles——99 losses, 0 wins]
In these nearly hundred confrontations, she had never once emerged victorious.
Even when she had exerted her full strength—power that threatened to tear her own flesh apart—even when she could feel herself growing stronger with each defeat...
Every time, her opponent would effortlessly overcome her.
At this moment, Helnersen bowed slightly to Viktor.
"Master," he acknowledged. "I've brought what you instructed."
Viktor nodded, then addressed Sapphirose:
"I've arranged a battle for you."
Hearing Viktor's words, Sapphirose's vigilant expression shifted to one of confusion.
She appeared to be processing this new information.
Viktor continued: "If you win today, I'll allow you to leave this place."
"You can go find whoever you wish."
[Information Processing Successful]
After a moment of contemplation, her eyes flickered back to the bear-man's imposing form.
Then, she lowered her head and stated firmly:
"But target character—[Invincible]."
This was Sapphirose's final assessment of Helnersen after ninety-nine battles.
No matter how powerful she became, the outcome remained unchanged.
Invincible.
This bear-man possessed strength that seemed to have no upper limit.
But Viktor shook his head and replied calmly:
"Your opponent, of course, is not him."
As his words hung in the air, a powerful roar thundered from outside the cave.
AWOOOO——!!!
A tiger's roar echoed through the stone tunnel, reverberating throughout the cavern.
Sapphirose's snake eyes instantly locked onto this new prey, her pupils contracting vertically as her body crouched low, muscles surging with terrifying power.
A pale blur shot forward as Sapphirose instinctively summoned her blade, which emerged through her skin into her waiting palm.
BANG!
The long blade and tiger claws collided with tremendous force.
The two combatants were locked in a deadlock, their weapons grinding against each other, continuously throwing off sparks.
In this contest of pure brute strength, neither side yielded an inch.
Viktor observed the standoff between the tiger-man and Sapphirose with narrowed eyes, asking with casual interest:
"Who do you think will win?"
"I apologize, Master," Helnersen replied in his deep voice, his tone tinged with respectful deference:
"Even ants have the possibility of tripping elephants."
"Until everything is settled, I cannot be certain of either side's victory."
Viktor smiled faintly:
"I like your philosophy. After all, you are the strongest martial master."
Helnersen closed his eyes and bowed slightly, offering no further comment.
His massive form blocked the sunlight that would have fallen upon Viktor.
Viktor slipped his hands into his pockets, studying the confrontation with serious interest before making his decision:
"Alright, let them battle here for a while."
He turned to face the giant bear-man:
"There are some things I've never quite understood."
"Take me to the cemetery, Helnersen."
Helnersen opened his eyes, his authoritative gaze meeting Viktor's directly.
To Viktor, that serious look resembled a defensive wall rising tall before him.
"There are questions I wish to ask him alone."
"That—former master." """ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
