Chapter 281: Damn, That Was Cool as Hell!
Two vast and hollow voices suddenly resonated in Erica's mind.
Almost simultaneously, she froze in place above the sea surface.
Her body began to tremble slightly.
Suddenly, Viktor's voice rang out:
"Helnersen."
ROAR——!!!
In an instant, a bear's howl as fierce as a berserker's rage thundered across the sky.
Helnersen, who had somehow already approached this location, instantly leaped out of the sea.
His form was continuously expanding, his entire body suffused with surging energy.
At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten his usual composure, transforming into a rage-consumed bear, as if ready to incinerate the entire world.
Violent energy continuously overflowed from his body.
Stepping on the ocean that had been split in two beneath his feet, he charged fiercely toward the two Disasters.
When Lorelei saw Helnersen, her mind went completely blank.
But then she heard Heim Horn's heavy voice beside her ear:
"Keep chanting, don't break the magical connection!"
Lorelei quickly snapped back to her senses and continued channeling magic.
Duke Levi stood at the center of the magic formation, his eyes tightly closed.
Similarly, waves of magical energy emanated from his body, layer after layer, extending toward the sky.
By now, Helnersen had already charged in front of Dozale.
He leaped high from the sea surface, his fist transformed by rage as he suddenly smashed forward, directly targeting Dozale in the ocean.
BOOM!!!
Waves suddenly surged up hundreds of feet high, as if a massive hole had been punched into the entire ocean.
Dozale's entire body was thrown into the distorted sea.
The damage wasn't high, but the insult was extreme.
Reales reacted, letting out a roar as endless lightning suddenly burst forth from around its body, transforming into long serpents of electricity striking at Helnersen.
The bear-man let out a howl, just about to take the lightning head-on, when Viktor gently tapped his staff downward.
[Castling]
The next second, both Helnersen and Viktor transformed into shadowy figures.
When they reappeared, Viktor was standing where Helnersen had just been.
And those two lightning bolts were now heading straight for Viktor!
As the terrifying lightning descended, Viktor pressed his staff downward.
Vines suddenly shot up from the underwater forest at his feet, frantically piercing through the ocean, wrapping around Viktor's body and completely blocking the endless lightning.
Yet even in such a dangerous situation, Viktor still didn't stop his chanting:
"[The words of the contracted life shall shatter the illusory dream.]"
"[Wielding the blade, tear apart the slander]"
The magic formation expanded another layer, its rotation becoming even more rapid.
Seeing Viktor, Erica seemed to snap back to her senses.
She finally remembered the task her father had given her, and hurriedly called out to Viktor.
"Professor! This formation needs you to lead it..."
"I know."
Before Erica could finish speaking, a reassuring voice sounded in her ears.
Viktor didn't turn back to look at her, simply standing in front of her.
Taking her place, confronting those two terrifying Disasters.
His coat whipped wildly in the fierce wind and rain.
Erica just stood there, staring at Viktor's back.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Her gaze gradually became somewhat entranced.
At this moment, the Disasters finally came to their senses.
After taking the bear-man's punch, Dozale just shook its head.
Then it moved its body, rising again from the ocean.
But that punch had already bought enough time.
At this moment, Dozale and Reales were enraged to the extreme.
They looked at Viktor with utter fury.
Because they knew that in the previous battles, this man had constantly harassed them like a fly.
Otherwise, that long worm and that flightless one...
How could they possibly be their match?
At this moment, terrifying pressure radiated from both Disasters' bodies.
With the Wind Disaster's disappearance, two domains suddenly rose up.
[Billion Volt Charge]
Instantly, lightning spread, filling the entire thick cloud layer.
The air became so dry it seemed sparks could fly at any moment.
[Void Ocean Reversal]
Above the clouds, the thunder-filled dark clouds seemed even more profound.
Torrential rain poured down, as if to devour all existence.
And the rain falling from those thunder clouds seemed to create some kind of mysterious combination.
The black clouds suddenly burst with chaos-filled raindrops glowing with fluorescent light, completely engulfing the entire world.
[Surge Wave Lightning Glory]
At this moment, the domains of the Lightning Disaster and Water Disaster merged together.
The violent tremors seemed about to shatter everything completely.
Lightning continuously burst forth between Reales's wings, wrapping around the flickering raindrops and rapidly launching terrible arrows forward.
The horrific power was enough to pierce through the entire sea region.
[Radiant Lightning Arrow]
Around Dozale's body, waves rose up again as thick water elements began rapidly overflowing from the thunder storm,
The next second, the azure waves began to distort, flashing with yellow-green lightning that rolled the waves forward in attack.
[Vast Sea Source Star]
As the two Disasters' ultimate skills expanded and lit up, Viktor continued chanting.
Seeing this moment, Erica's mind instantly went blank.
At this moment, she seemed to forget she was in danger.
"Pro...Professor!"
She took a step forward.
But just as she stepped out with her right foot, Viktor reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
Immediately after, two destructive forces intertwined and suddenly rushed toward Viktor.
In the instant before they were about to hit Viktor and Erica.
Everything around them fell into boundless silence, leaving only a sharp ringing sound that gradually rose and then gradually subsided.
Memories of the past suddenly surged in Erica's mind.
They say that when people are about to die, their brains rapidly flash through their memories.
"Is this... the death flash?"
Going to die here with the professor.
After those mosquito-like words ceased, the nuclear explosion-like force seemed to completely destroy this world.
Under the white light, all sound disappeared.
The entire world seemed to fall into absolute silence.
But then, a deep magnetic voice, as if carrying reverberations.
Suddenly, it rang out between all the white light:
"Vega."
The one-eyed crow opened its eye.
That pitch-black and profound single eye burst forth with shocking pressure.
Almost instantly, the azure gem above Vega's head burst.
Completely shattered.
The hundred thousand souls contained within suddenly poured out, transforming into thick white smoke shooting straight into the sky.
These were the souls of the hundred thousand Sea People who had polluted this sea, were forced to be trapped in the ocean, forced to become part of the sea.
And now, they had a chance for redemption.
Those floating souls transformed into a hurricane, completely blocking those two terrible strikes.
The lightning ocean was completely shattered by the reversing soul storm, the towering white souls suddenly burst apart, scattering completely in all directions across the world.
After the soul storm broke apart, Erica's eyes widened.
The white light wasn't dazzling, but its radiance accompanied by thick coldness dispersed like smoke into the sky.
Viktor placed one hand on top of Erica's hands.
"Erica."
"Lend me your power."
Erica's body trembled slightly, and at this moment, she remembered what the professor had said.
The professor... needed her.
"What... should I do?"
"Just believe in me."
Viktor's large hand held both of Erica's hands, slowly raising them.
He continued chanting obscure incantations, the formation behind him lighting up again.
In the sky and sea, the elements dispersed by Doragon and Guledon now reattached to Viktor's body.
Around Viktor, three different-colored energies continuously emerged, entwining around him.
And entwining around Erica as well.
It was as if some force was being drawn from Erica's body.
Erica suddenly felt extremely weak, and couldn't help but collapse in Viktor's embrace.
Her eyes were unfocused as she panted heavily, even her cheeks flushed red from weakness.
Viktor held Erica, supporting her to prevent her from falling onto the sea surface.
Then, facing that about to break through again overwhelming force, his voice rang out.
"Vega, connect with me."
As the words fell,
A blue light flickered in Vega's single eye.
After two days of rest, Vega's mana had recovered.
And this time, it was mentally prepared.
"Viktor, after this ends, I want a hundred thousand believers!"
Viktor's coat billowed as he said calmly.
"Don't worry."
"I can give you a million."
As soon as the words fell, instantly, a flash of azure passed through Viktor's eyes.
[Connection Successful——]
Feeling endless magic power refilling his body, Viktor smiled with satisfaction.
He raised his staff, the three-colored energy following his coat, climbing to the very top of Uruste.
His coat gradually became colorless and formless as the elements withdrew.
Then, the three energies gradually merged together.
"However."
Viktor raised his staff.
"That'll be after this ends."
His mana value plummeted rapidly, that ocean of magic power suddenly bottoming out, as if being quickly drained, unable to surge up again.
But it didn't stop there.
Control of the formation was instantly seized by Viktor, almost simultaneously.
Countless mages supporting the formation felt their magic power being frantically drained away like streams rushing through mountains.
Even Rachel felt she had aged several years,
At this rate, she probably didn't have many years left to live.
Heim Horn's eyes widened as he said in shock:
"Sure enough, it's that feeling of being completely drained again."
Because he had experienced this irreversible magic drainage before.
Last time, it was also Viktor's doing.
Lorelei was dumbfounded beside him.
"Again!?"
"Heim, tell me what you've been through!"
But there wasn't enough time for them to continue chatting.
Reales and Dozale roared again.
White light suddenly lit up, and the formation behind Viktor finally linked together.
Countless patterns seemed to gain self-awareness, becoming extremely turbulent, yet with an eerie harmony.
Three natural energies connected around the massive formation, continuously injecting more chaotic energy.
Feeling the overwhelming pressure coming head-on, countless people looked up in shock at that soul-deep terror...
