At this moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard was as still as ice, as if all the noise and sounds had been frozen in the air.

At first, Viktor's appearance undeniably brought a sense of reassurance to those present.

But when the illusory screen phenomenon appeared before everyone's eyes, the tranquility of the courtyard instantly turned into chaos.

Especially the nobles of the kingdom in the arena, they were extremely anxious and their eyes were bloodshot.

During these days, these noble lords almost unanimously tried to curry favor with Victor and befriend him.

Although Viktor never gave them a chance, they continued to do so.

But they never expected this in the end.

Victor actually has a grudge against the kingdom!

What the hell is the point of making friends here!

Which brain-dead nobleman would send a kingdom warrior to infiltrate Victor's house?

Not only did they go into hiding, but they also got caught!?

Almost all the nobles present were dumbfounded, even August was stunned and couldn't say a word.

Although the elite warriors in the arena all wielded anti-magic stones, the calamity-level magic of Victor truly shocked the nobles.

Why are so many people afraid to mess with Victor?

Viktor was only a fourth-tier mage. In theory, a group of fourth-tier warriors could easily defeat him.

But nobody dared to gamble.

The problem is that Viktor's strength is completely inconsistent with his rank!

Whose magic can be as terrifying as Victor's?

A normal, powerful fourth-tier spell is enough to completely destroy everything within its range.

But Victor is different.

Victor can blow up a city.

Although the war magic last time did not destroy the entire royal city, it does not mean that he lacks the ability to do so.

After all, he had destroyed a canyon mountain that straddled the border between the two countries.

No one wants to mess with Viktor, even if he could actually defeat Viktor.

But unless he has a 100% chance of winning, Viktor will definitely unleash that terrifying and violent magic.

Such a large-scale explosive magic would be unbearable for any country.

Therefore, even though August had prepared everything and even filled the surrounding area with anti-magic stones.

But when Viktor placed the image in front of him, he still felt fear.

Just as those noble lords had in mind.

Now, Victor and the Kingdom are enemies.

If you have a grudge, you must take revenge.

The magic Victor uses is already outrageous, so it's not surprising that he can ignore the anti-magic stone.

August's expression was grave. He swallowed hard and nervously spoke to Victor:

“Congressman Victor, there must be some misunderstanding between us.”

"I have never sent anyone to assassinate your family members."

Upon hearing August's explanation, all the nobles present fell silent.

Although that's what they say, everyone actually knows the truth.

Since Victor has made this matter public, the Kingdom of Kant must bear the consequences, whether it is true or false.

Because regardless of the circumstances, the Empire did indeed capture a Kingdom warrior.

What? They want Viktor to provide evidence of his family's assassination?

What more evidence do we need? This is clearly a reason.

A reason that Auguste had to admit.

The noble lords understood this, and therefore chose to remain silent.

August's actions had eroded the trust of all the noble lords present, and no one was willing to support him anymore.

On the contrary, they were more eager to see August fail.

With Viktor around, they might still be able to survive.

August understood this as well.

He was equally clear about the situation, even with Viktor's lack of response.

It seems the other party won't let this go so easily.

“Lord Victor, since this matter involves our Kingdom of Kant, I am willing to compensate you.”

He spoke slowly and deliberately, then turned his gaze to Viktor.

However, Victor didn't seem to appreciate it.

He listened to August's apology, his expression remaining indifferent:

"compensation?"

"But I don't need any compensation."

At that moment, August fell silent.

He stared at Viktor for a long time before finally managing to utter a single sentence.

"Mr. Victor, are you going to stop me?"

Victor didn't answer; he showed August his answer through his actions.

His figure slowly emanated magical power, and behind him, in mid-air, a magic circle gradually formed.

The magic swept across the pale patterns, intertwining and crisscrossing in mid-air.

Complex and obscure runes gradually appeared on the edge of the hexagram array.

Upon seeing this, all the nobles present were immediately intrigued.

They gasped in surprise, their eyes sparkling with anticipation and joy.

Even Aurelion stared in astonishment.

"Teacher...can you still cast spells even under the influence of the anti-magic stone?"

August's breath hitched slightly as he sensed the immense magical power, which reminded him of the war magic Victor had used at the auction.

He couldn't help but tremble slightly, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

Could it be that Victor can really ignore the anti-magic stone and use magic?!

Suddenly, the formation behind Viktor paused slightly.

The white patterns no longer intertwined.

As if the magic had been severed, the surge gradually ceased.
