Immediately afterwards, Victor appeared with a speed that Priscilla could hardly catch, easily blocking the attack.

But Priscilla understood that Miss Gwen's target was not the goddess of justice in the sky.

Instead, it was the raven surrounded by light, treasured in her palm.

That's Viktor's prized possession. How could he possibly stand by and watch Gwen attack the crow?

So much so that his sudden step forward made it seem as if he had helped the goddess fend off a fatal attack.

Clearly, this was something even Viktor himself hadn't anticipated.

He also forgot that countless eyes were watching the sky above Shulburne, and that his actions were exactly as if he were helping believers.

Now that things have come to this, even if Priscilla were to tell the residents the truth, they probably wouldn't believe her.

Instead, they might see her as defending Victor.

What did you say? The believers summoned their goddess and ended up summoning Victor's pet raven?

Doesn't that further confirm that Victor is the cult leader?

Perhaps that raven is an evil god, and Victor has been nurturing this evil god all along.

That's why he faked his death for ten years, just to develop this group of cult members.

Now that the evil god has been cultivated, Victor no longer needs to act!

For some reason, this explanation seems quite reasonable.

At this moment, Priscilla, suspended in the air, was so anxious that her mind went blank, and the three pairs of wings on her back flapped more and more frequently.

She racked her brains trying to figure out how to salvage Viktor's reputation in this situation.

However, perhaps the urgency of the situation made her forget the essence of the problem.

Or perhaps she didn't know Viktor well enough.

after all.

...

"Does Viktor need something like reputation?"

When the members of the Mage Council witnessed this scene, their reactions were completely different from Priscilla's.

Instead of feeling worried, they felt a strange sense of relief.

Therefore, when Kokot said this, Heim Horn and the natural sparrow on his shoulder both nodded in agreement.

That's right, but what use is reputation to Viktor?

Or did he even care about this thing?

Everyone in the Mage Council knew that their Councilor Victor acted primarily on a whim.

Sometimes I might do a good deed on a whim, and other times I might blow up a city without thinking.

But every time he bombed a city, he could always find a perfect opportunity and reason, and he never had to pay compensation out of his own pocket.

Logically speaking, the Mage Council would generally refuse to invite a mage with such unstable moral character to join.

The problem is, he is Victor.

He's amazing!

Currently, apart from the archmages who have been missing for over five hundred years and have long been deemed dead by the Mage Council, there are no other archmages among them.

Even if Viktor claims to be the world's greatest mage, the second person to jump out will simply agree and tell the others:

'Victor is right!'

Sorry, being powerful means you can do whatever you want.

Therefore, instead of worrying about how to restore Viktor's reputation...

They should be more concerned about whether the poor, ignorant residents of Shulbourne will provoke Victor.

Then Victor might not only blow up the city, but might also take all the residents with him.

The Council of Mages is not worried about all of this happening now.

Rachel had previously intended to ask Haim Horn what to do next.

Now, Heim Horn doesn't even need to say a word; they all know what to do.

"Stand by and see how Viktor plans to handle this."

Heim Horn was once again surrounded by phantoms and replied to the natural sparrow on his shoulder.

It seems that what the believers summoned was indeed Victor's pet raven.

This also suggests that the raven that Viktor always carries with him is definitely not a simple creature.

Even if it's not a goddess of justice, it must be some strange thing.

After all, it was summoned by believers using ten divine tokens.

Given the current situation, the Mage Council cannot act rashly.

They couldn't possibly help Gwen attack Viktor, nor could they help Viktor fight back against Gwen.

In conclusion, they can only wait and see for now.

And now, what intrigues Haim Horn the most is...

He slowly raised his head, casting his deep gaze upon the holy light and chaos before him.

And there were Victor and Gwen, facing each other under the light.

He watched as the couple, who had been getting along peacefully just moments before, suddenly turned on each other with swords drawn.

Unconsciously, a bold guess surfaced in my mind.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Goddess of Justice,"

"They're back."
