LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 84: The Big One is Coming!
Aurelian stood stunned before the library-like maze.
But soon, a warm flow slowly surged to her heart.
This feeling was quite nostalgic.
She remembered having this feeling as a child.
Her father, the Emperor, had pointed at her heart, saying she possessed extraordinary talent and would surely make the Empire greater in the future.
As a child, Aurelian didn't understand her father's meaning. In her impression, she only needed to be an obedient and sensible child, as her mother had said.
So Aurelian always did just that.
From a young age, she followed the royal family's requirements, rarely leaving the palace or interacting with the outside world.
Even within the palace, she maintained a very pleasing image, being polite to her elder brothers.
These were all things she had to fulfill.
She still remembered the first time she brought back the corpse of a forest demon to the palace.
Her father wasn't afraid or scolding. He just happily patted her shoulder.
He said something that puzzled her.
"Child."
"I've protected you too well."
Her heart gradually warmed, as if feeling some kind of power.
As if possessed, she reached out a hand towards a floating book in the air.
Silver-white patterns flowed slowly on the book, gradually forming a pair of eyes.
The moment Aurelian's hand touched the book, she felt a daze. When she looked around again, it was no longer the library scene from before.
This place was like a world of magic.
The ground seemed to have disappeared, and the sky was indistinguishable. Two moons hung overhead and underfoot. Aurelian gently tapped the ground below her.
It was solid.
But when she looked down, there was nothing beneath her feet, as if she were standing on a faintly visible transparent bridge.
A long-hidden voice slowly sounded in Aurelian's ear:
"Welcome, child."
"This is your world..."
The voice faded away, and a flash of inspiration crossed Aurelian's mind, revealing the form of the magic in her consciousness.
It was magic that didn't belong to the six natural systems.
This powerful magic would only determine its power based on the strength of the user's soul and will, without the constraints of hierarchy.
Aurelian stood dumbfounded, recalling this special magic in her memory.
It was a giant blade that could connect with the user's soul to cause powerful destruction.
Chaos system magic beyond the six natural systems.
Named —
"Moonlight"
...
The huge green body twisted continuously in the void, continuing to spread intense pollen and summon those strange creatures.
The waist-high wildflowers and grass had long been devoured by flames, with raging fires burning in the air.
As if to burn away all the overflowing natural energy.
Those green plants seemed to start rebelling against the man with the aura of calamity before them, with two different environments appearing in the same void.
On one side, world-ending flames rose and engulfed everything; on the other, thick natural energy nurtured countless plants.
Viktor was wrapped in a layer of lava, with threads of fire flowing between the patterns. The eyes that appeared on his coat emitted a scorching light like the sun.
A huge wave of natural energy rushed towards Viktor.
"Is it coming?"
Viktor murmured.
Druja's body emitted a faint green glow, slowly opening its giant mouth, its three pairs of compound eyes covered in white.
Behind it, over ten green rings gradually appeared, as if a rippling lake had suddenly formed in the void.
"Thousand Arrow Barrage."
Viktor named Druja's most troublesome skill.
Thousands of green spears slowly revealed their tips from the ripples, aiming directly at Viktor.
In an instant, those thousands of blades burst forth, piercing through the void. As they entered the scorching area, the towering flames seemed to be pierced like fragile white paper by the long spears.
Viktor drew Urulust and held it in front of him, muttering incantations. A wall of fire appeared before him. The thousand spears seemed to strike a solid giant stone, penetrating fiercely but unable to break through.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
As the wall was continuously pierced, it became unstable.
Suddenly, as if realizing something, Vega stood on Viktor's shoulder, motionless.
But its thoughts had already begun to communicate with Viktor.
'Viktor, that little girl you brought has entered a strange place.'
Vega had kept an eye on Aurelian, ready to check if she would encounter any danger at any time.
"No need to worry about her."
Viktor responded to Vega while dealing with the skills raining down from the sky.
He calmly continued to build new walls behind the swaying fire wall, isolating all attacks outside.
"That's what she deserves."
Aurelian's 'Eternal Furnace' was a very bug-like talent.
This meant that as long as she saw how magic was used, she could learn it.
Because of this talent, she could even learn magic outside the six natural systems.
This was something players couldn't learn through normal means.
"You're being so kind? I find it hard to believe."
Viktor waved his wand, continuing to create powerful fire magic to burn away the small magical beasts before him.
Some spears passed over the towering fire wall, but Viktor merely moved his body as if taking a stroll, perfectly avoiding those stray attacks.
He could even spare time to calmly respond to Vega:
"I got paid."
Getting paid for the job was Viktor's principle as a power leveler.
However, one thing was indeed as Vega said.
Bringing Aurelian to the Mage Council to strengthen herself was beyond the commission.
In fact, without special class changes, players indeed couldn't learn magic outside the six natural systems through normal means.
But.
If an NPC who had learned magic outside the six systems was willing to teach you.
Then, Viktor only needed to pay some materials and Geo.
Although no one knew about this.
"Let's look forward to it, to see how much useful magic she can learn."
He had high hopes for Aurelian.
After all, she was someone who was called the Eternal Witch when she ascended the throne at eighteen.
Aurelian's talent couldn't be judged by common sense.
After blocking the last wave of flying spears, Viktor turned, dodging the incoming natural energy, and refocused his attention on the Wood Calamity before him.
After fighting for so long, Viktor was still using fire calamity attribute magic to counter.
However, Druja, relying on its constantly reviving ability and its ridiculously high HP advantage, had barely allowed Viktor to cause much damage to it.
Looking at it this way, it might be very difficult to even get Druja to enter its second phase.
Viktor's voice sounded faintly.
"Haim, Cocotte."
The two people watching this epic battle behind him were stunned, as if waking from a dream, both quickly thinking:
Why did Viktor suddenly call their names?
"Reinforce the barrier a bit more."
"Isn't it reinforced enough as it is now?!"
Cocotte hurriedly shouted back, then Viktor's voice sounded faintly:
"At least to the degree that it can withstand war magic."
Haim and Cocotte were both dumbfounded.
"What did he say?!"
In an instant, numerous blue potion bottles flew into their hands.
These potions were completely different from what Viktor had sold before.
The bottles seemed a bit larger, and the color of the magic potion was deeper.
Because these were [Mana Potion (Intermediate)]
A batch that Viktor had remade after upgrading his crafting level.
"If you don't have enough mana, drink this."
"If you can't hold on, what happens to Endymion is no longer my concern."
This time Haim almost exploded, no longer wearing that gentle smile. After drinking a mana potion, he started cursing at Viktor:
"Damn it! Viktor!"
"If you blow up Endymion, I'll... I'll..."
But his mana suddenly recovered by a large amount, leaving Haim stunned.
Cocotte, standing beside him, said provocatively:
"You'll what? Say it."
"Tch, I thought you were brave."
Haim, enduring the sense of humiliation, once again divided into numerous identical phantoms flying to all sides of the barrier, continuously transmitting energy.
What could he do?
Could he beat Viktor?
He couldn't, so he might as well comply.
Cocotte also chose to trust Viktor, drinking the blue potion and recovering some mana.
Without time to marvel at the potion's miraculous effect, she lazily drew in the air with her slender jade hand. Instantly, a vast amount of natural energy burst out from within her body, rushing towards the dome.
The moment the natural energy touched the barrier, a huge green tree slowly descended from the sky, standing before Cocotte, supporting the constantly shaking barrier.
Soon, they both understood why Viktor had asked them to do this.
Suddenly, a surge rose from the scorching land, like flames breaking through the dome, rising from the ground.
At this moment, Viktor was like an enraged beast, allowing the lava coat behind him to swing wildly.
The black coat gradually became longer and larger, burning with layers of flames, turning into a fire cloud covering the entire sky.
Like a blazing sun, covering his body.
Terrifying pillars of lava completely changed the void, churning with thousands of fire pillars.
Vega watched this scene before him with great anticipation.
"The big one is coming!"
[Wrath of Flame Severance]
A surge of lava that seemed to completely submerge the entire space suddenly burst forth from the void, with the momentum to break through thousand-foot rocks, rushing towards Druja.
The heat waves made the void distorted and swaying, and the surrounding darkness seemed to squeeze out drops of lava, falling onto the dense forest, instantly burning a huge hole.
At this moment, Druja felt a strong sense of crisis. Its three pairs of compound eyes suddenly widened, gathering extremely thick natural energy at its snake mouth. Those lush plants were drained of energy in the blink of an eye, withering away.
The thousand-foot lava turned into a giant dragon rushing towards Druja, while the huge natural energy transformed into a giant python, forming ripples rushing towards it!
Boom!
The powerful explosion produced a huge scorching air wave that swept everything away. A sudden white light completely engulfed the surroundings, and the entire space fell into a long silence.
.......
A carriage slowly stopped in front of the Clavenna mansion.
Lia slowly got off the carriage, surrounded by servants.
As soon as she looked up, she saw a group of guards holding long shields standing in front of her family's mansion.
Lia was completely confused.
Only the royal family had such a grand display.
What was going on?
Could it be that the princess had come in person?
She quietly walked around the guards and entered the mansion.
The servant opened the door, and Lia plopped down on the sofa, stretching lazily.
Then she thought, at this time, Viktor should be in the study, and those guards also made her very curious.
She slowly went upstairs, preparing to greet Viktor.
"Viktor, those guards outside..."
She stopped in her tracks.
An unfamiliar female guard stood there. She looked at Lia, and Lia looked back at her.
"..."
After a few seconds of silence, Lia heavily closed the door and took out the magic crystal used for two-way communication from her waist.
Soon, a voice came from the magic crystal.
"Lia? Are you back?"
"Gwen, don't speak first, and don't be impulsive. I have something to tell you."
"...Hm?"
A confused voice came from the other side, and then Lia very seriously said to the other side of the crystal ball:
"It seems the princess has come to spend the night with Viktor."
