Golden light gradually emerged from Viktor's body, and his eyes shimmered with a golden glow.

As the breath circulated, the surrounding air began to tremble, rippling outwards like waves.

Feeling the power flowing through his body, Victor experienced an unprecedented sense of comfort.

【Victor: Clavner】Lv: 43 - lv: 45 【Upgrade in progress - Time remaining 1:59:50】

HP: +5000 [Equip Gaia]

MP: /

It's hard to imagine a mage having a stat that's significantly higher than their mana.

He carefully felt his relaxed body; in terms of attributes, almost every aspect had been enhanced.

It's probably a two-level improvement.

With the experience points he had accumulated, he could use this ability to temporarily reach level 45 in attributes.

This is Lady Kasanna's ability [Upgrade].

However, it now belongs to Vega.

Even the power of the Temple of Inheritance can be stolen by Vega.

Lady Kasanna's abilities were merely a gift passed down from her thin line of divine blood.

The soldiers trembled as they watched Viktor's morale rise.

The man standing in front of them was already very powerful. How much more powerful will he become under Lady Kasanna's "upgrade"?

They simply couldn't imagine it.

Victor didn't care what the soldiers thought. He turned around and looked at Elsa lying on the ground.

He bent down, reached out a hand, grabbed Elsa's chin, and forcibly lifted her head.

Looking at the expression on her face, a mixture of humiliation, hatred, and resentment, I felt nothing.

"So what are you still struggling with, Elsa?"

Victor's devilish voice rang in Elsa's ears, gradually eroding her psychological defenses.

"You are going to sacrifice yourself to save everyone here."

"Or should I say..."

"Make everyone here pay with their lives?"

The words had barely left his mouth when the door suddenly opened.

Outside, another batch of new soldiers rushed in.

They were well-equipped, their bodies encased in various forms of magically enchanted steel armor, and they wielded firearms that shimmered with light.

Aurelion couldn't understand any of these novel things; she could only watch helplessly as the warriors gathered nearby, pointing their dark gun barrels at Viktor.

A burly man covered in tattered armor slowly walked in.

Those were the guards who had been outside the door just now, and their bodies also exuded an extremely powerful fourth-tier aura.

Blood energy gradually emerged from his body, causing it to swell slightly, making him look exactly like a wild beast.

The two powerful forces collided, causing the surrounding air to bend slightly.

Soon, his gaze swept around.

The first batch of soldiers who came to provide support all lay prone on the ground, like puppets that had lost control, completely sinking into the ground.

Lady Kasanna's eyes were unfocused, and she knelt there listlessly.

Elsa's chin was also grabbed by Victor and lifted up, as if she were being forced.

Seeing this, the man understood what was happening.

He looked at Viktor, who exuded a faint aura of power.

"Victor Clavner, you are guilty of heinous crimes! Surrender now!"

With a wave of his hand, his subordinates, clad in fine armor, immediately went on alert, their guns glowing with a blue light.

"Do you want to experience being riddled with bullets?!"

Viktor didn't turn around, but merely glanced coldly at the soldiers waiting behind him.

"It seems they didn't give you a chance to save them."

He lowered his hand, letting Elsa limply sink back into the soil.

The cloak on his body burst into flames under the slightly trembling golden light, and the extremely fierce flames shot towards the sky, gradually revealing red patterns.

Red lines gradually climbed up his skin, across his shoulders and neck, and down to the area around his eyes.

"Then, there's no need for me to continue playing around with you guys."

Suddenly, an incredibly powerful aura burst forth with intense heat, filling the entire space.

Before Viktor could even turn around, the fourth-tier warrior sensed an unparalleled crisis, his eyes widened, and he gave orders to his soldiers:

"Quickly! Launch the attack!"

The words had barely left his lips when countless soldiers pulled their triggers, and the blue flames shot into the sky, flashing wildly.

Endless projectiles, tinged with the faint glow of magic, mingled with the scorching air, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

The blue bullets traced smooth trajectories in the air as they hurtled towards Viktor at high speed.

However, Viktor simply waved his hand casually.

A wall of flames rose out of thin air from the ground and stopped in front of Victor.

The blue bullets were completely incinerated into powder the moment they touched the wall of fire, and then dissipated into the air.

But the soldiers did not stop attacking; whether out of fear or excitement, they became even more fanatical.

Even the bullet loading process has become much faster.

The firelight continued to flash, and the attack never stopped.

Aurelion crouched behind Victor and covered her ears with her hands.

Even with my ears covered, the deafening sound continued to penetrate my ears.
