Awooooo—
The deafening roar shook the entire volcano, its sound like a deep, angry roar before an eruption, causing the entire mountain to tremble and rumble.
The sound was so clear that even the monks at the foot of the mountain could hear it clearly.
All the monks raised their heads in surprise and confusion, their gazes fixed on the direction of the mountain pass.
The roar from the volcano just now almost made the magic array they were drawing tremble, nearly causing it to lose its stability.
Seeing this, Reeves quickly issued instructions:
"Stay calm and continue to maintain the magic."
The mages all realized what was happening and their gazes converged on where Rivi was.
Seeing that a blonde little girl next to Levi was still persisting in maintaining the magic without wavering.
Upon seeing this, many of the middle-aged monks smiled awkwardly.
After all, they were veteran mages with decades of experience. Now, not only had their magical skills been surpassed by a young girl, but their temperament was also not as composed as hers.
Many mages blushed and quickly regained their magical power, continuing to channel it into the massive formation.
Now, everyone must maintain a stable supply of magic in order to cast war magic.
If someone interrupts the magic supply due to fatigue or negligence, the entire formation will collapse completely due to the lack of magic, resulting in failure.
To this end, they have prepared multiple batches of monks for rotation.
Once someone becomes tired, another group will quickly take over, continuously supplying magic power to the war magic.
The unique feature of war magic is that each use requires a massive amount of magical power.
This accumulation process usually requires a long period of preparation.
Historically, no mage has ever been able to cast war magic alone.
That's right, never.
After the group of mages readjusted, Levi gave Erica a satisfied smile.
Erica saw that smile and felt her father's approval, and her heart filled with joy.
Overjoyed, he put even more effort into channeling his magic.
They felt no curiosity whatsoever about the roar coming from the mountaintop, nor did they hear any other strange noises.
It was as if the so-called monster at the bottom of the mountain had nothing to do with her.
That's just how it is.
At this moment, the mage Beck, who was not far from Revy, also turned to Revy and said:
"It seems that the sound just now must have come from the monster at the bottom of the volcano."
"But why did it suddenly roar?"
This situation is clearly not quite normal.
Could it be that their preparations for war magic alerted that guy?
Their magic isn't ready yet.
However, Reeve looked up at the volcano, as if he had some guesses in his mind.
Just then, Gwen's knights, riding white horses, came speeding down the mountainside.
Soon after, Gwen, who was in charge, quickly dismounted, went to Revy's side, and urgently reported:
"Report: The temperature on the mountain has risen significantly. Combined with the previous roars, it is highly likely that the monsters beneath the volcano have awakened."
Reeves nodded knowingly and continued to ask Gwen:
Where is Viktor?
Upon hearing this, Gwen frowned slightly, her expression showing some worry.
"According to my subordinates, Victor went to the top of the volcano alone, and shortly afterward, a roar was heard and the temperature on the mountain rose."
I estimate...
Gwen didn't finish her explanation, but Reeves had a general idea of what was going on.
"It seems that the place where the monster was hiding was easier to find than I thought."
"Go into the crater and you'll find the monster directly."
However, it's clear that it's too late to go in now.
On the one hand, they are all mages, and while they want to maintain the magic circle, it is difficult to use other magic to lower their own temperature to resist the high temperature on the mountain pass.
On the other hand, the monsters have awakened, which was clearly caused by Viktor.
They should take advantage of this opportunity to continue preparing war magic while Victor is entangled with the monster.
Once Victor lures out the monster, they can activate magic to destroy it directly.
“I originally wanted Victor to be the leader of war magic.”
Reeve sighed.
After all, Victor was a fourth-tier mage, the strongest mage among them.
Let him dictate the flow of magic and control the magic array; the power of war magic will only increase.
But Victor, who is clearly a mage, went off to fight the monsters at the bottom of the mountain.
But this is for the best. If Victor can defeat that monster, they won't have to activate their war magic.
Although this would waste a lot of magic power, war magic itself is a guarantee for eliminating monsters.
At this moment, Reeves noticed Gwen's worried expression and comforted her:
“You don’t need to worry too much, Knight Commander Gwen.”
“Victor is the strongest among us. If even he is no match for that monster, we will be unable to provide any support.”
"Moreover, his knowledge of the monsters at the foot of the mountain further demonstrates his confidence in solving the problem."
Reeve's words make a lot of sense.
Since they are unaware of the true power of the monster at the bottom of the mountain, they should continue to maintain the magic circle and prepare war magic.
Even if Victor cannot solve the monster problem, war magic can still serve as their backup plan.
Hearing this, Gwen, though still somewhat uneasy, nodded.
At least, she was willing to believe her husband.
