Chapter 838: Nightmare Tower. 2

"Victor... Is this just the first level? You're not being too harsh, are you?" Hestia asked.

All she received was Victor's serious gaze in response.

"They wanted Power. They wanted to get stronger quickly. And Power like that doesn't come without consequences."

"But..." Hestia was about to say more, but Victor interrupted her.

"Keep your senses sharp, keep your guard up, assess the environment, assess the people, always be ready to grab your weapon and kill the enemy."

"Always be ready for possible betrayal."

"Always be ready for anything."

"That's the mindset of a warrior, and that's how I've lived to this day. That's how I became so strong."

Non-stop training? Victor did it. Always seeking stronger opponents? Victor did it. Almost dying multiple times? Victor did it.
