boom--

The giant rock erupted with a deafening roar, sending clouds of dust flying in all directions.

Aurelion, engulfed in flames, fell straight down from the cracked rock surface.

Bang!

She landed heavily on the ground.

The dull thud as the object landed made everyone present's hearts clench.

It was as if the hands that gripped Aurelion's body were also squeezing their hearts.

It left everyone heartbroken and utterly desperate, as if even the last glimmer of hope had vanished.

Then, Victor looked around.

Looking at the surrounding dark magic still carving out the boundaries of Hyjal, he spoke calmly:

"It seems you only have half a minute left."

Upon landing, Aurelion felt her bones tremble with intense pain.

Her muscles were tightly contracted after the intense impact, filled with soreness and stiffness.

Nevertheless, she used her arms to prop herself up and shakily stood up again.

He gathered his magic once more, transforming it into a ball of azure flames surrounding his body, and resolutely walked towards Victor.

Even as she traversed that darkness, she continued to endure extreme, agonizing pain.

The wounds on my body kept bleeding, the blood evaporated quickly and scabbed over, only to burst open and bleed again.

Victor calmly watched Aurelion walk forward and said serenely:

"I have to tell you something real,"

“Here, there are no stories where you can defeat the villain by relying on bonds and courage.”

"The gap in strength cannot be bridged by these two factors alone."

After saying that, Viktor raised his hand again.

The dense, dark magic behind him surged and coalesced rapidly, beginning to gather.

Even the natural magic in the surrounding space was drawn in and surrounded him.

They quickly constructed a complex formation, inscribed with obscure runes.

The complex formations began to overlap and merge under the connection of pure magic, as if the entire space had been drained of its magic in an instant.

Under his control, countless formations spun and swirled rapidly, condensing into a chaotic triangle composed of various magical forces.

Then, while maintaining his casting posture, Viktor continued:

"Do you want to have enough power to save the whole world?"

"Then let's first soberly recognize reality."

His eyes were icy, and his cold words were like ice covering the sun.

"No one can grow by relying solely on the help of others."

"Including your father."

As soon as she finished speaking, Aurelion stopped in her tracks and stood still.

She slowly raised her head, looking at the magic hanging high above Victor's head, her eyes no longer showing any fear.

Thump—thump—thump—

The Forge of Eternity burned ever brighter within Aurelion's heart.

A clear and deep vibration echoed continuously, shaking the surrounding darkness and spreading throughout the entire Hyjal.

All her burning magic was compressed to the extreme at this moment.

Aurelion then clenched her fist.

Seeing this, Viktor's gaze returned to calm.

He waved his hand gently, and the heterochromatic triangular object floating behind him shattered.

It transformed into a torrent of countless magical flying stones, which fiercely attacked Aurelion.

The terrifying, strange color became even more extreme and violent under the influence of pure magic.

The immense power nearly crushed the entire interior of Hyjal.

Sound and smell seemed to be torn apart by magic in an instant, and vision blurred under this terrible impact.

The air stagnated, and a sense of nothingness arose.

Chaotic spatial rifts flashed through the darkness, passing over Aurelion's body and striking the magical barrier she had previously created.

Erica, leaning against the edge of the sacred tree, felt as if her body was bearing a weight of tens of thousands of pounds.

Compared to Victor's previous magic, the power of this wave was a hundred times more terrifying.

Aurelion was caught in the torrent, the flames around her twisting and churning with each impact.

Even at the very end, Aurelion's gaze remained resolute.

Enduring the violent impact that was almost unbearable for the space itself, it stood still, allowing its heart to surge with even greater power.

Thump—

The sound of his heartbeat, like the booming of a giant drum, pierced through the heavy atmosphere.

At this moment, the chaotic sounds reached their peak.

Even amidst the most oppressive turbulence, the torrent broke free of the silence, rushing towards the void, towards the entirety of Hyjal.

A deafening roar erupted towards the vast Endymion and the heavens, shaking the hearts of countless people.

Finally, the compressed magic transformed into gold, wrapping around Aurelion's clenched right fist.

She gathered all her magical power and prepared for her final attack.

Not a single drop of blood flowing from her body was wasted; it was all transformed into her magic.

At this moment, Aurelion's Eternal Forge had exhausted her last drop of blood.

Yes, this is the true, complete magic—

Aurelion Sol

HP: 1

[MP: 0]

She abandoned all her fear.

Despite the strange power gathered by Victor, he threw his final punch.

Thump—

In an instant, the whole world fell silent again.

This time, not only did the sound disappear, but all forces perceptible to the human body vanished completely within a single second.

The pure golden light surged forward as Aurelion's fist struck.

Awooo—!!!

The light, in a sudden, extreme burst, transformed into a roaring, majestic golden dragon.

It opened its gigantic, chaotic maw, revealing sharp, pointed teeth, and mercilessly tore through the darkness.

It suddenly rose into the sky, drawing a golden streak that stretched for thousands of miles.
