"Whew~ finally ran out smoothly."

Erica was very happy.

She knew that she would never be able to get rid of Gwen if she used normal means.

In order to prevent being caught, she deliberately began to prepare teleportation magic early.

Wait for the time when Gwen doesn't come back to her senses, and launch it instantly!

Luckily, Professor Victor taught her how to use teleportation magic properly when she first came to the Academy.

Although she couldn't teleport dozens of kilometers away like a third-order mage, she could still do it within a range of a few kilometers.

"I'm afraid Gwen will think I'm going to teleport far away."

Instead of teleporting to the top of the mountain, Erica crossed several kilometers halfway up the mountain, which was equivalent to running to the other side of the mountain.

The surrounding scenery is still a bit barren and hasn't changed much.

Erica began to walk towards the top of the volcano, and the higher she went, the more she could feel the temperature around her rise a lot.

She hadn't gone far before she felt the heat unbearable.

The surrounding rocks emit water vapor, which is evaporated by the high temperature.

Further up, you can even see all sorts of stone fragments that have burst due to the heat.

Looking at the surrounding scene, Erica was terrified, but she continued to walk up the hill despite the heat.

At the same time, she has not forgotten to add several heat-resistant states for herself.

She was a mage and knew that this was due to the phenomenon caused by the fire elemental filling of the volcano.

"I knew it wasn't a simple volcanic eruption."

"How could a normal volcanic eruption lead to so many magical elements."

Erica verified her conjecture that she could only see more if she went up the mountain.

And the father only knew how to use magic to isolate everything, and did not think about solving the problem from the root at all.

"Brainless old mages."

She muttered a few words, and then remembered Viktor, who was also a third-order mage.

The youngest third-order mage, no one has been able to surpass his record until now.

'Volcanic Anomalies...... Is it really caused by Victor'?

Kala–

As she pondered, the sound of a stone being trampled heard from behind her.

"What's that!?"

She jerked around and looked back, and a red hedgehog emerged from the dirt, wrapped in faint flames, and rushed straight at Erica.

"Second-level monster! Flame hedgehog. ”

Erica casually rubbed out a magic circle and aimed it at the monster.

【Second Order Magic: Water Cannon】

With that, a huge water bomb spun in Erica's hand and burst out in an instant.

The fire hedgehog was knocked back dozens of meters away and fell to the ground, with its feet facing the sky.

The flames on his body completely evaporated, like coke.

Apparently dead.

The strength of the second-level monster is naturally not comparable to the elite mage who has been cultivating all year round.

Spike is also reasonable.

"It's that simple."

Erica couldn't believe it, this was the first time she had defeated a monster in the wild.

It turns out that I'm not weak.

She was proud of her bravery.

Vesuvius is a dangerous place.

Fire monsters have a wider distinction.

The higher you go, the more monsters will be.

Not only that, but in proportion to the number, there is also the strength of the monster.

At first, she was able to cope with it easily, but later on, it began to struggle a little.

The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the stronger the monster becomes.

Erica was able to figure it out, but she always felt that something was wrong.

"Obviously, these monsters have known each other in the academy, but why is there such a big gap between the strength and the strength described in class?"

Another flaming hedgehog popped out of the ground, and this time, it took Erica several spells to get rid of it once and for all.

Its claws have become sharper than the monster in front of it, and the flames on its back have become more vigorous.

Naturally, they became more aggressive.

"These monsters, strengthened?"

The thought crossed Erica's mind.

"The rich fire element around them makes them stronger."

It is no accident that the flame element becomes rich.

She wanted to go a little further up the mountain, because Erica felt that there would be the answer she wanted at the top of the mountain.

But the terrifying temperature had already begun to make Erica feel a little trance, and the gradually powerful monsters also discouraged her.

Even magic was gradually unable to withstand the heat of the flames.

Erica stood where she was, deciding to take a break and figure out a way to get to the top of the mountain.

Suddenly, she remembered the only bottle of magic potion left in her bag.

She looked at the magic potion and looked up in the direction of the top of the mountain.

A flash of inspiration.

"I've got a way!"

At the same time, on the other side of the mountain.

Gwen kept sprinting towards the top of the mountain, even though the heat around her was so hot that she was sweating.

The silver sword in her hand was like ice, cutting off one monster after another that stood in her way.

"First Victor, and now the Duke's daughter."

"Why do they like to ask for trouble."

Wouldn't she want to go to Victor?

No, of course she thought, to be precise, she was going crazy.

She wanted to find Victor and ask him face to face if he was responsible for the volcano's disturbances.

If the other party said yes, then in the next second, her fist would hit Victor in the face.

However, Gwen must obey orders, and she must protect all the mages and protect the inhabitants.

"Victor...... You wait for me. ”

Gwen quickly cut off the head of the monster that stood in front of her, and ran towards the top of the mountain, as if she had entered a no-man's land.

Soon, she also ran into obstacles.

In front of her, an astonishing amount of magma gushed out from between the cracks in the surface of the volcano.

It's as if the volcano is wounded and bleeding.

In this way, she simply could not move on.

The scorching heat of her armor made it unbearable for her, and she could only take a few steps back, looking at the top of the hill and thinking of a way.

……

"Seriously injured...... It was definitely seriously injured. ”

Vega kept sighing.

In front of it, the shell of the Fire Calamity fell off, and a shocking amount of magma flowed from the wounds on its body.

This is the Calamity of Fire, and a large amount of magma flows out of its body.

That is its "blood".

"What a horrible guy."

Vega sighed constantly.

It's talking about Victor.

[Third Order Magic: Rainstorm Tear]

[Third Order Magic: Sandstorm and Mudslide]

Various formations hovered in the sky, and five formations continued to output magic in the air.

The volcano below is also churning with magma, and a little lava has collapsed from the surrounding rock walls.

Victor casts spells, adding various negative buffs to Gulleton's body.

After the damage accumulated to the point of serious injury, Gulleton's movements became extremely slow, and even the chance of grazing Victor was no longer there.

This battle is enough to change Vega's cognition.

It didn't care about the burning feathers on its body, and it didn't blink its eyes.

"No, it's really going to win, right?"

If Victor wins, then he is willing to call Victor the strongest human it has ever seen.

No, it's not.

Even if Victor does not win, his strength is already unimaginable.

To be precise, what he has is not the strength to crush.

The gap between Gulleton and Victor is like a moat.

It was so large and powerful that it only took one attack on Victor to kill him once and for all.

However......

It can't do it.

Obviously, Victor needs to win it countless times, and it only needs to win the next one.

But this kind of disparity in the battle made Victor make it possible to make it possible with his own hands.

The fierce battle lasted nearly three days and two nights, and Gulleton only bruised Victor once.

On the other hand, Victor?

In the battle, he walked leisurely and leisurely.

In his eyes, Gulletun's attack seemed to have slowed down more than ten times, and some of the attacks were non-essential, and he didn't even need to teleport to dodge.

It only takes a few steps to dodge the way.

The injuries he had suffered before didn't seem to affect his state, but instead boosted his fighting spirit.

In the time since his injury, he has been able to use his magic more fluently!

Finally! Someone was the first to fall into a state of weakness.

It was not Victor who was weak, but Guletun.

For the first time, a catastrophe that could not be overcome by mankind was driven into a desperate situation by a human being.

Its HP had dropped to thirty percent, which was an absolute state of weakness.

The shell no longer shines, and the power and speed are much reduced.

Vega was stunned, in that amazing state just now, it couldn't even rub Victor.

And now, it is in a state of weakness again.

Doesn't it mean that Victor has won?

Vega looked at Victor, only to find that the other party didn't think so.

Instead of relaxing, he had a solemn expression and waited for the battle.

There are still words in his mouth.

"That attack is coming."

That attack? Which attack?

Vega was stunned for a moment, and then, an astonishing vibration shook in the air, making it almost unable to control its balance.

The volcano shook wildly, and even the ground trembled.

The earth began to crumble, the lava gradually stopped, and a giant began to soar into the sky from beneath the layers of magma from the volcano.

The entire volcano crumbled, and Gulletun's eyes glowed like two suns.

The pillars of fire broke through the layers of lava and melted the rocks, covering the sky.

Countless flints wrapped in magma fell everywhere, like meteorites.

"[Anger of Yan Xuan]."

Victor knew exactly what it was, and slowly said the name of Gulletun's final move.

Vega dodged the rapidly falling flint in the air, and at the same time looked at the pillar of fire in front of him that was about to break through the constraints of the diameter of the crater, and cursed in his mouth:

"Fire Calamity! You can't afford it! ”

How do you dodge this kind of thing?

"Hide?"

Victor sneered.

He never wanted to hide!

Almost at the last moment, Victor's eyes lit up with a surprising blue color.

Terrifying magical elements envelop the entire volcano at the bottom!

In an instant, a phantom castle appeared in the sky, as if it was about to completely suppress the entire mountain pass.

The castle lit up with multiple huge circles.

Buzz - Buzz - Buzz -

Together..... Two ..... Three ways!

The magic circle with three barriers quickly began to build, and the formations were linked to each other, and the lines of the three-layer magic circle gradually intertwined with each other, forming a heaven-lifting ark in the center of the huge magic circle, like a sacred tree bud suddenly blooming.

Infinite power allows Vega to feel danger even in the middle of the volcano.

The magic circle that covered the sun slowly fell, breaking through the layers of haze and mist, and suddenly, it seemed to reveal a large area of clear blue sky.

A powerful coercion hangs over all living beings except Victor.

The huge Gulletun's feet sank into the ground, and it was difficult to lift his head.

Vega was also shocked by this coercion, and it happened to fall on Victor's shoulder.

"War magic!? Fuck, when the hell was it set!? ”

Vega watched as the huge circle fell from the sky.

The flints that carried the lava vanished like pebbles in the face of the magic of war.

Stuck on his shoulder again, unable to spit out a word again.

I can only complain in my heart: 'Doesn't the war circle need a group of mages to be released?' ’

'This pervert, one person can be released, isn't it too much! ’

In the next second, a pillar of fire rose from the ground and collided with the ark in the sky.

The two devastating attacks collided together, and Vega could no longer hear the sounds around them.

There were only dazzling light waves, and there was a momentum like Ling Tian.

The powerful attack hedged and even completely tore the sound apart, and the air flow broke through the mountain and collapsed wildly.

In a trance, it seemed to hear Victor's chanting in his ears.

"[Magic Imperial Capital - The Fall of the Apocalypse Ark]"

——!!!

The white light rushed to the sky, enveloping all things—
