NOVEL NEXT Chapter 276: Useless Thing, I’ll Find You More Followers Next Time
Above the churning black sea of clouds, two colossal Calamities hung suspended in the air.
Dense air currents violently collided as terrifying power suddenly erupted from the heights, like a massive mountain bearing down upon the earth.
Beneath the clouds, Guledon and Dozale faced off against each other, neither willing to yield.
Two immense forces intertwined, with scorching and heavy energy repeatedly hammering at Dozale's heart.
Damp and frigid gales like countless sharp blades pierced fiercely into Guledon's molten core and bones. A sensation of weakness instantly flooded through his body like seawater, permeating his limbs.
Swimming back and forth in the sea below, Lorelei watched this scene while nervously clutching her head. Her eyes widened with terror as she cried out:
"W-w-what's happening!!! Is this the end of the world!?"
Just moments ago, she had experienced firsthand what it meant to feel the crushing pressure of a Calamity up close.
When the two ultimate skills collided, it felt as if the world itself would be devoured, filling people with an overwhelming sense of shock and despair.
The waves had surged into the sky, as if some deity had completely lifted the vast blue expanse from the earth, attempting to empty the ocean entirely.
The air had completely stagnated as several piercing, dazzling lights merged together and exploded before their eyes.
Though everything around had fallen into silence, the explosive sound still detonated in their hearts along with the blinding light, making their internal organs tremble.
Only after her heartbeat returned to normal did Lorelei's consciousness slowly recover.
When she regained her senses and looked skyward, her vision instantly went dark.
It felt as if the entire world had turned upside down.
How did two more appear?
Weren't the previous two enough?
At this rate, this maritime region might truly be doomed.
Of course, even if Viktor wanted to summon another Calamity, it would be almost impossible now.
Because Vega, perched on Viktor's shoulder, had feathers that were gradually turning deathly pale.
Its body swayed precariously, looking as if it might fall from Viktor's shoulder at any moment.
With its bird head drooping, it spoke to Viktor in an extremely weak voice:
"Viktor, next time you want to pull off something this big..."
"Please... give me some advance notice..."
With that, it lost consciousness and could not be roused.
Viktor used magic to secure the crow on his shoulder, then turned his gaze toward the four great Calamities ahead.
The surging ocean transformed into countless rising waves, accompanied by waterspouts that continuously flowed around Dozale's body.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
The scorched earth beneath Guledon expanded, as flames surged up from the ground, forming towering walls of fire that reached toward the sky.
The high fire walls licked at the gloomy black clouds, attempting to completely block out all traces of ocean waves.
The sky above the black clouds was equally terrifying. Doragon was completely enveloped by smoky white storms, with space itself constantly distorting under immense pressure.
The white wind waves merged completely with the black clouds, forming horrifying giant claws that could tear apart anything.
Summoning a complete Calamity was still somewhat strenuous for the current Vega.
Viktor knew this, but he still had to summon it.
Because...
He looked up at the sky.
Opposite to Doragon was a purple-black dragon with blue patterns covering its entire body.
Its massive limbs hung in the air, with muscular definition clearly visible even among the clouds. Behind its pitch-black body were sky-covering dark wings that gently flapped in the air.
Those huge dragon pupils emitted bright light, with an aura of majesty constantly flowing out and merging with the air.
Yellowish-green lightning mixed with purple thunder constantly flickered between the clouds, as if able to instantly destroy everything in its path.
The Lightning Calamity - Reilis
Perhaps because all other Calamities had entered their second phase, Reilis refused to fall behind.
Thus, patterns gradually appeared on its body.
Its form began to grow slightly more elongated, and its limbs transformed into shocking horn-like armor covering its entire body.
Its arms became more muscular, as if gripping lightning itself, carefully forged.
Its massive tail, like an engine, glowed with purple-black electricity, endlessly spinning rapidly in the air.
[The Lightning Forger]
The surrounding lightning and thunder seemed to gather all the world's storms, with countless razor-sharp blades of lightning rapidly rotating around it, quick flashes of particles illuminating the entire sky.
The air trembled abnormally under this terrifying lightning, and the surrounding winds grew chaotic in response.
A numbing sensation constantly transmitted through Doragon's scales, as dry energy surged into its body.
It felt as if lightning was coursing through its bones, flesh and blood vessels.
Viktor watched the flickering lightning in the sky, his body trembling slightly, his eyes revealing a trace of frenzied excitement.
His heart pounded as all the blood in his body seemed to surge wildly in this moment, triggering an inexplicable sense of pleasure in his brain.
Yes, this was it, this was it.
This was the first time.
This was the first time Viktor had encountered a true challenge in this world.
A special situation he had never encountered even in the game before.
Four Calamities gathered together.
So now, Viktor was extremely excited.
The appearance of the Lightning Calamity was very sudden.
It could truly be called an absolute accident.
In this battle, Viktor hadn't considered the Lightning Calamity.
Moreover, Vega had fainted from exhausting its magical power.
Because Viktor had used all the magic power to resurrect Doragon.
So before Vega recovered, he had no more magic power reserves to use.
Of course, if he hadn't summoned the Wind Calamity, this battle would likely be even harder to fight.
"Indeed, the power is still not enough."
The bright blue in Viktor's pupils gradually faded, transforming into starlike points that dispersed in his obsidian-like eyes.
"Next time, I'll find you more followers."
The just-withdrawn Uruste once again transformed into countless shards glowing with clear green light, dancing in the air.
But soon, those countless emerald fragments began to gather again, grasped in Viktor's hand.
"So now..."
"Let me face this myself—"
The four Calamities roared at each other, their heaven-shaking sounds like four giant drums striking simultaneously.
The muffled sound echoed in all directions.
The world's four great elements, in this moment, became exceptionally chaotic and agitated.
The entire world suddenly trembled as space transformed into colorless rifts, constantly spreading countless overflowing natural energies throughout the world.
Four thick health bars rose simultaneously, quickly extending towards the horizon for thousands of miles.
Fire Calamity - Guledon [Magma Form]
Level 60
Water Calamity - Dozale [Source of Tides]
Level 60
Wind Calamity - Doragon [Sky's Tomb Guardian]
Level 60
Lightning Calamity - Reilis [The Lightning Forger]
Level 60
Viktor stood between the four great Calamities, like a black pebble mistakenly dropped amidst these four extreme environments.
Wild winds constantly howled in his ears, his coat behind him struggling as if it wanted to break free from restraint, pulling at Viktor's body and lifting backwards.
But Viktor's smile remained supremely confident - even among these four great Calamities, he appeared completely at ease.
As if he held this entire world in his hands.
"This precious gift."
