Two hollow and dull voices suddenly rang out in Erica's heart.
Almost at the same time, Erica froze on the surface of the sea.
Her body began to tremble slightly.
Suddenly, Viktor's voice sounded, "Halnarsen."
Roar!!!
In an instant, a bear's roar like violent fury resounded through the sky.
Halnarsen, who had somehow already approached this place, leapt out of the sea.
His body was constantly expanding, air currents filling every part of him.
At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten his past steadiness, like an enraged bear burned by anger, as if he wanted to burn the whole world to ashes.
A violent aura kept spilling out from his body.
He stepped on the ocean that had been split into two beneath his feet and charged fiercely toward the two calamities.
The moment Lorelei saw Halnarsen, her mind went completely blank.
But then she heard Haim Horn's heavy voice ring beside her ear, "Keep chanting, do not cut off the magic link!"
Lorelei quickly came back to her senses and continued supplying magic.
Duke Levi stood at the center of the formation, his eyes tightly closed.
Likewise, waves of magic energy surged from his body layer after layer, spreading toward the sky.
At this time, Halnarsen had already rushed in front of Dozale.
He leapt high from the sea surface, his fist formed from anger smashing forward violently, aimed straight at Dozale in the ocean.
BOOM!!!
Layers of hundred meter high waves suddenly rose, and the entire ocean seemed to be smashed open with a huge hole.
Dozale's entire body sank into the twisted sea.
The damage was not high, but the humiliation was extreme.
Riles reacted, roaring as endless lightning burst from around its body, turning into long serpents that shot toward Halnarsen.
The bear man roared. Just as he was about to take the lightning head on, Viktor lightly pressed his staff downward.
[Castling]
The next second, Halnarsen and Viktor both turned into afterimages.
When they appeared again, Viktor was already standing where Halnarsen had just been.
And the two bolts of lightning were heading straight toward Viktor.
Terrifying lightning spread down. Viktor pressed his staff downward.
Vines suddenly surged up from the ocean forest beneath his feet, crazily piercing through the sea and wrapping around Viktor's body, blocking all the endless lightning.
Yet even in such danger, Viktor did not stop chanting, "The words of life's contract will eventually shatter the illusory dream."
"Holding a sharp blade, tear apart false slander."
The formation expanded another layer, and its rotation became even faster.
The moment she saw Viktor, Erica seemed to come back to herself.
She finally remembered the task her father had given her and quickly shouted to Viktor.
"Professor! This formation needs you to lead it…"
"I know."
Before Erica could finish speaking, a voice that made her feel at ease sounded by her ear.
Viktor did not turn back to look at her. He simply stood in front of her.
In her place, he confronted the two terrifying calamities.
His windbreaker flapped wildly in the storm and heavy rain.
Erica just stared at Viktor's back.
Her eyes slowly showed a hint of fascination.
At this moment, the calamities finally came back to their senses.
After taking the bear man's punch, Dozale only shook its head.
Then it moved its body and floated up again from the sea.
But that punch had already bought enough time.
At this moment, Dozale and Riles were furious to the extreme.
When they saw Viktor, they were filled with rage.
Because they knew that in the earlier battle, this man had been like a fly, constantly harassing them.
Otherwise, how could that long worm and that one that could not fly possibly be their opponents?
At this moment, terrifying pressure spread from the two calamities.
With the disappearance of the Wind Calamity, two domains suddenly rose.
[Trillion Volt Pressure]
In an instant, lightning spread and covered the entire thick cloud layer.
The dry air felt as if it could spark at any moment.
[Sunken Sky Reverse Sea]
Above the clouds, the dark thunderclouds that sparked with electricity seemed even deeper.
Heavy rain poured down as if to swallow all existence.
And the rain falling from beneath those thunderclouds seemed to create some strange fusion.
The black clouds suddenly bloomed with chaotic raindrops glowing with pale light, completely swallowing the whole world.
[Heavy Wave Radiant Thunder]
At this moment, the domain of the Thunder Calamity and the Water Calamity merged together.
Violent trembling felt as if it would completely shatter everything.
Lightning kept vibrating out from between Riles's wings, carrying flashing raindrops as it shot terrifying arrows forward at high speed.
The horrifying power was enough to pierce through the entire sea region.
[Radiant Flash Thunder Arrow]
Around Dozale's body, waves were once again stirred up. The heavy water element rapidly overflowed from the thunderstorm.
The next second, the deep blue waves twisted, flashing with yellow green lightning as they rolled forward.
[Ocean Origin Star]
The ultimate skills of the two calamities swelled and lit up, while Viktor was still chanting.
Seeing this moment, Erica's mind instantly went blank.
At this moment, she seemed to forget that she was in danger.
"Pro… Professor!"
She stepped forward.
But just as she stepped out with her right foot, Viktor stretched out one hand and pulled her into his arms.
Immediately, the two forces of destruction intertwined and rushed violently toward Viktor.
The moment they were about to hit Viktor and Erica, everything around fell into endless silence. Only a sharp ringing like tinnitus slowly rose, then slowly faded.
Memories from the past suddenly surged through Erica's mind.
It was said that when a person is about to die, their brain quickly flashes their past memories.
"So this is… the life review?"
She was going to die here together with Professor.
After her mosquito like whisper stopped, the power like a nuclear explosion seemed to completely destroy this world.
Under the white light, all sound disappeared.
The whole world seemed to fall into absolute silence.
But then, a low magnetic voice, as if carrying an echo, suddenly resounded through the white light.
"Vega."
The one eyed crow opened its eye.
That dark and deep single eye burst with shocking pressure.
Almost instantly, the aqua blue gem above Vega's head shattered.
Completely broken.
The hundred thousand souls sealed inside poured out, turning into thick white smoke and rushing toward the sky.
These were the souls of the hundred thousand sea people who had polluted this ocean and had been forced to remain in the sea, forced to become part of it.
And now, they had a chance to atone.
The floating souls turned into a hurricane, blocking the two terrifying attacks completely.
The thunder ocean was completely shattered by the returning soul storm. The soaring white souls burst apart and scattered to the four directions of the world.
After the soul storm broke apart, Erica widened her eyes.
The white light was not blinding, but the glow dispersed into smoke with a heavy chill and flowed into the sky.
Viktor placed one hand over Erica's hands.
"Erica."
"Lend me your power."
Erica's body trembled slightly. At this moment, she remembered what Professor had said.
Professor… needed her.
"I… what should I do?"
"Just believe in me."
Viktor's large hand held Erica's hands and slowly raised them.
Obscure spells continued to echo from his mouth, and the formation behind him lit up again.
Above the sky and sea, the elements that Doragon and Guleton had dissipated now attached themselves once more to Viktor's body.
Around Viktor, three different colored energies surged constantly, wrapping around him.
They also wrapped around Erica.
It felt as if some power was being drawn out from Erica's body.
Erica suddenly felt extremely weak and could not help collapsing softly into Viktor's arms.
Her eyes were unfocused, breathing heavily. Even her cheeks gained a few red flushes from weakness.
Viktor held Erica and supported her to keep her from falling into the sea.
Then, facing the massive power that was about to break through again, he spoke.
"Vega, connect with me."
As his words fell, 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 one hundred thousand believers!"
Viktor's windbreaker surged as he said calmly, "Relax."
"I can give you one million."
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of blue light passed through Viktor's eyes.
[Connection successful!]
Feeling endless magic fill his body again, Viktor showed a satisfied smile.
He raised his staff. The three colored energies behind him climbed along his windbreaker and reached the very top of Ulust.
As the elements faded, the windbreaker gradually became colorless and invisible.
Then the three energies slowly merged together.
"However."
Viktor raised his staff.
"It has to be after this ends."
His mana value dropped rapidly. The ocean of magic instantly hit bottom, as if it had been drained dry and could no longer surge.
But that was not all.
The control of the formation was instantly taken over by Viktor. Almost at the same time, countless mages supporting the formation felt their magic being crazily drained away like streams rushing through mountains.
Even Rachel felt as if she had aged several years.
If this continued, she probably would not have many years left to live.
Haim Horn widened his eyes and said in shock, "As expected, it's that feeling of being drained dry again."
Because he had experienced this irreversible draining of magic before.
Last time, it had also been Viktor's doing.
Lorelei was stunned beside him.
"Again!?"
"Haim, tell me, what have you been through!"
But there was no more time for them to keep chatting.
Riles and Dozale roared again.
White light suddenly lit up, and the formations behind Viktor finally linked together.
Countless patterns seemed to gain self awareness, becoming extremely violent yet strangely harmonious.
Three streams of natural energy connected around the huge formation, continuously injecting more chaotic power.
Feeling the vastness and pressure coming head on, countless people raised their heads in shock, looking at that soul piercing terror.
What was that?
It looked like three giant beast phantoms of different colors, gradually tearing apart their own bodies.
Turning into light, completely merging together.
The bright white light slowly faded, and a terrifying giant beast towering between heaven and earth appeared in the world.
The beast's claws carried thick lava. Its scales were as hard as burning rock, wrapped in cold white mist.
A pale white serpent body coiled above the sea, and fierce blazing light burned on its huge pale dragon head.
Behind it, countless towering forest like giant hands coiled and twisted.
When facing this monster, Riles and Dozale suddenly froze.
The patterns on their bodies flashed wildly.
They could feel that this terrifying monster before them
was an existence born from the same source as them.
At this moment, a sense of crisis spread wildly.
But it was already too late.
The fused terrifying existence opened its abyssal mouth, and unbelievably heavy natural energy began to gather.
At this moment, a crack split open on Viktor's staff.
"Overloaded?"
"So be it."
With a casual flick, the staff in his hand gradually turned into shining fragments and scattered into the air.
Viktor held Erica and raised her hands.
As if using her body as a medium, he made the final chant, "The crimson imperial star can overturn the universe, the bright daylight radiance will shatter the void, dusk cuts down all things."
The huge fused calamity released all its energy completely.
The vast and deep energy cannon drowned everything. Space completely lost its meaning. Even the void became extremely fragile.
The ocean was completely split apart. Ten thousand zhang waves truly broke through the clouds, and the black gloom collapsed entirely.
Temperature no longer felt cold or hot, but stayed in an unclear eternal constant state.
The world seemed to completely shrink, and all senses were stripped away.
Only one voice slowly echoed.
"The collapse of all living elements! Void Day Three Phases"
