One after another, violent streams of lava rose from the ground, spewing out scorching heat.
Hot rocks fell from the surrounding rock face, crashing like meteors into the shattered earth and lava ravines.
Victor weaved through the lava, wielding his sword to cleave falling crimson rocks in two.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of this volcanic valley where lava flows, a massive magic circle slowly lit up, its patterns radiating a dazzling light.
[Third-Tier Magic: Realm of Magic]
This is a continuous magic circle used to restore a mage's mana.
Although the mana regeneration speed provided by this magic circle is very slow, it cannot compare to Vega's, and it is even slower than mana potions.
But its strength lies in its stability.
Moreover, this is currently the only way Victor can restore his magic power.
However, surprisingly, no magic was used throughout the entire battle.
Only the clash of swords and the mesmerizing flames, and the pure, direct collisions in various close-quarters combats.
At that moment, Victor skillfully avoided a stream of lava erupting from a fissure in the earth and dodged a falling, scorching rock.
Then, wielding his magic greatsword, he slashed fiercely at Gulerton's two enormous, pillar-like legs.
Swish—swish—swish—
Each strike sent a flurry of rock fragments and molten liquid splashing around Guleton's ankle.
His steps were light, like a phantom emitting a deep blue light, moving back and forth in the narrow space, constantly tearing apart the giant beast's body.
Every attack that Gulerton felt felt like a deep cut to his skin.
Although not fatal, the stinging sensation intensifies with repeated exposure.
No matter how it tried to grab its ankles with both hands or deliberately stomped its feet to splash lava, it couldn't touch the annoying "bug".
On the contrary, the intense movement put even more pressure on its already injured ankle.
It couldn't understand why it was suddenly awakened by a human "bug" while it was sleeping peacefully.
Despite its frequent attacks, it was unable to hit its opponent.
Frustrated by his inability to reach the other party, Gulerton finally snapped.
It stood still and roared.
The reddish magma on his body melted, and the outer layer of rock armor became soft, but it was still scorching hot.
Feeling the intense heat wave coming towards him, Viktor quickly took a step back, rapidly creating distance between himself and his opponent.
He still held the sword in one hand, and the black trench coat behind him fluttered and danced in the blast of air, yet not a single burn mark was left.
"This is already phase two?"
Victor looked up at Gulerton, who was encased in lava, and smiled mockingly.
"I feel like you're much weaker this time."
"Or am I just too strong?"
Meanwhile, Gulerton's joints emitted a shimmering, burnt yellow hue, and the intense heat swirled around him like a swirling storm.
The land beneath the volcano became unbearably scorching, with lava eruptions becoming more frequent, and the air thick, oppressive, and scorching hot.
Around Viktor, endless patterns and runes were drawn out in the air, combining and splicing together with each other.
Under his manipulation, the magic array became increasingly complete, and the light emanating from its patterns was dazzling.
The rich magical aura made the surrounding stuffy air even more somber, but it didn't feel hot or scorching.
This spell seems to be deliberately controlled by Victor and has not yet been fully released.
"But it's alright, you're still that clumsy guy who can't fly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the giant beast seemed to become even angrier after hearing those words.
The raging fire that engulfed his body became even more violent, with fire serpents licking the air, trying to completely engulf Viktor.
Faced with this scene, Viktor showed no fear whatsoever.
He gripped the sword with both hands, holding the magical blade upright in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, the second magic array appeared to be meticulously drawn in the air by an invisible hand.
Every line was precise and every rune was flawless. His movements were neither hurried nor slow, yet he appeared exceptionally composed.
At this moment, Victor once again used all the magic power he had just recovered to inscribe those spells.
Its purpose is obvious.
"Wait a little longer."
"I'll beat you so badly you'll have to call me 'Dad' right now."
