During Victor's coma after defeating the calamity
Because he was severely exhausted and had suffered fatal injuries in multiple parts of his body,
Duke Riviera then led his entourage away from Mount Vesuvius at full speed, arriving in the capital in less than half a day.
During this time, several mages continuously cast healing spells on Viktor in an attempt to heal his injuries.
But no matter how hard these mages tried, using the most advanced healing magic, they could not cure Viktor in any way.
Therefore, upon returning to the capital, Duke Reeves immediately sent Victor to the most renowned hospital in the empire.
They also brought in several physicians with considerable expertise in healing magic to treat him.
However, all the doctors who treated Victor could only shake their heads helplessly at Duke Reeves, indicating that there was nothing they could do.
Ultimately, the emperor personally issued an order to search the entire world for someone who could cure Victor.
The Mage Council accepted the task and dispatched Kokot Yad, the councilor with the most outstanding healing magic.
On one hand, Cocoy was already deeply interested in this human who had single-handedly defeated the calamity.
On the other hand, nature spirits are indeed far more sensitive to life energy than other races.
So Kokote came.
However, even with Kokot personally involved, the final conclusion was still disappointing:
"I cannot heal your injuries, and I think you know why."
Koko stared at Viktor's chest, pursed his lips, and looked rather helpless.
Upon hearing this, Viktor also reached out and tore open his hospital gown, revealing his chest.
The well-defined muscle contours were indeed impressive, and the skin was exceptionally smooth and fair.
But the gruesome burn in the center of his chest would send chills down the spines of anyone who saw it.
"Those are the wounds left on you by the Calamity of Fire, not ordinary burns."
The flames of calamity are no ordinary flames, especially since Viktor was not subjected to a simple attack.
Viktor was struck by the ultimate skill of the Fire Calamity.
[Yan Duan's resentment]
In the specific terrain at the base of the volcano, this skill left Victor with virtually nowhere to escape.
At that time, Victor had only just accumulated nine spells.
If he successfully accumulates the tenth spell, he can complete the war magic and confront the final skill of the Fire Calamity head-on.
At the same time, resolve the calamity of fire without causing harm.
but……
Viktor was out of time.
At that time, he felt a profound sense of powerlessness.
He realized that he wasn't a player, but just an NPC in the game.
There is no player panel or player inventory.
There are no skills that can be triggered in an instant, and the enemy's health is impossible to see.
He didn't even have a single potion to restore his magic.
All Victor possessed was the memory of countless victories against the calamity of fire.
At that time, the only correct way for him to overcome the calamity was to tough it out.
Delay the time, gather the tenth spell, and complete the war magic.
Viktor did it.
He used his remaining little magic to create a thin magical barrier that could protect him.
Although this barrier is very fragile, it at least ensures that Viktor will not be instantly killed by the Fire Calamity's abilities.
Even so, he was still inevitably injured.
Just as the calamity of fire was unleashed by the powerful force of the volcanic eruption,
The severely injured Victor secretly gathered enough magic power underground to complete the tenth spell.
He successfully unleashed war magic and defeated the calamity of fire.
However, he paid a heavy price for his victory.
"This is also why I don't understand it at all."
Kokot slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed on Viktor, who remained unusually calm even knowing he was about to die.
In a low voice, she voiced the question that had been lingering in her mind.
Why are you so determined to defeat the calamity of fire?
Kokot already knew that Victor had been fighting the calamity of fire for three days and three nights.
During those three days, Victor could have left the bottom of the volcano at any time and chosen to retreat.
Because he could not endure the burns caused by the fire calamity indefinitely and continue fighting his opponent for so long.
This indicates that Viktor was actually uninjured during those three days.
However, Viktor did not choose to leave.
Similarly, he left himself no way out.
He would rather directly endure the attack of the fire calamity than fail to defeat it with all his might.
It was as if he had some special reason why he had to overcome the calamity of fire.
Kokote found this hard to understand.
"You are clearly such a genius, and you are only 29 years old. You still have the potential to improve further."
"Your achievements are already the best in the world, so why?"
"Is victory that important to you?"
His gaze gave Coco a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had known her for a long time.
This kind of gaze left Cocote quite puzzled.
Clearly, this was their first time meeting.
Then she heard Victor continue speaking:
Let me tell you a story.
"However, just as I agreed to keep it a secret for you, you must keep it a secret for me as well."
Being stared at by that familiar yet indifferent gaze made Cocot feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
But she was very curious about the story she was about to hear, so she nodded.
"You, you tell me."
