The mages summoned from the capital gathered on the mountainside of the volcano and surrounded it.

The mages raised their arms, and the magical power they unleashed connected with each other, gradually forming a huge magic circle around the volcano.

The light shimmered and shone, stretching for miles.

Many of the magical steel nails driven into the volcano were affected by the formation, and the magical chains on them began to clang and tremble, penetrating deeper into the volcano.

Runes were inscribed on the array, and the massive array grew increasingly thick and heavy, spreading outwards for hundreds of miles.

The second-tier mage stood a level below the third-tier mage, continuously channeling magical power into them.

When the first batch of second-tier mages were unable to continue, the second batch stepped in.

Once the first batch of second-tier mages had rested, they returned to the field, one round after another.

A dozen or so third-tier mages concentrated their minds and began chanting towards the center of the magic array:

"The god of abyss weeps! Gathering the chill of the world!"

"I beg the compassionate god! I sing of the sorrowful tears of the mortal realm!"

......

Although Erica is the Duke's daughter, she does not receive any special treatment.

She was also assigned to the ranks of second-tier mages.

After evacuating the civilians, the knights stayed nearby to protect the mages from being disturbed.

Magic attracts monsters, so they stand guard around the mages and slay any monsters that get too close.

"The longer the spell is cast, the more powerful the magic circle that covers the entire Mount Vesuvius becomes."

Duke Rivi, a third-tier mage, did his best to correct the magic array, hoping that the eruption of the volcano would be delayed.

If this great formation were allowed to rest for a day, it would definitely be able to completely stop the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

This continued for an hour. The first group of second-tier mages went down the mountain, and the second group took their place.

Erica was among the group of mages. She stood behind Duke Rivi and began to chant softly, transferring her magic to her father.

Duke Reeves chanted incantations and drew magic circles while observing Erica's every move.

Seeing that Erica could stand on her own, I felt somewhat gratified.

"Erica, you've grown up."

The second batch of mages went down, and the third batch was about to come up, but Erica didn't go down.

She secretly drank a bottle of blue potion she bought from Lia, and instantly felt her mental energy replenished.

Duke Reeves was both surprised and delighted to see Erica still continuing.

"I never expected Erica to possess so much mental energy."

“When I was that age, I was nowhere near as good as her.”

Another hour passed, and after the third group of monks went down, the fourth group of monks came up.

Erica remained standing on the magic circle, continuing to channel her magic power into Duke Reeves.

She secretly drank another bottle of medicine, and her spirits were fully restored.

If the Duke of Reeves was merely surprised before, he is now utterly shocked!

"Erica's talent is terrifying!?"

"This astonishing mental strength has surpassed that of many third-tier mages."

And he, as Erica's father, is only now realizing how powerful his daughter is!

Soon, the fourth group of mages also exhausted their magical power and went down to rest.

Erica secretly drank another bottle and continued the transfusion.

All the third-tier mages around Duke Reeves noticed Erica.

It's been four hours already, where does she get so much magic power from?

Could it be that within the heart of this genius girl lies a vast ocean called 'magic'?

These mages couldn't help but ask the Duke:

“Duke Reeves, is your daughter a monster? How can she have such a terrifying mental reserve?”

"Exactly, I've never seen anyone's oxen plow the fields for such a long time."

Duke Reeves began to worry, fearing that his daughter was pushing herself too hard and causing irreversible damage to her body.

But seeing that his daughter seemed quite relaxed, he took back what he was about to say.

What exactly happened?

He couldn't understand it.

Five hours later, the first batch of mages in the second round had already descended the mountain to rest, and the second-tier mages who should have been in the same queue as Erica climbed back up to the mountaintop.

As a result, they saw the duke's daughter.

She remained standing beneath Duke Reeves's magic circle, radiating magical light like a dazzling light bulb.

? ? ?

Don't you need to rest?

Yes, Erica would secretly drink a potion after each group of mages went down to keep her mana at a relatively easy level.

Erica sensed the shock and surprise in their eyes and felt extremely proud of her actions.

'Thanks to Professor Victor's potion, I can keep going!'

'My father will definitely look at me with new respect!'

She was still lost in her daydreams when Duke Reeves's roar jolted her back to reality like a hammer blow.

"Erica! You go and rest!!!"

Erica: "......."

This was the first time she had ever seen her father so angry with her. For a moment, she was so scared that she shrank back and went downstairs with her head down.

However, her fame had already spread throughout the entire ranks of second-tier mages.

"Who knows? She's a pervert! She didn't leave when I went down the first time, and when I came back the second time, she was still up there!"
