Only Gwen managed to fight her way back to the capital, but she too was seriously injured.
The mission failed, though no one blamed Gwen.
However, since she was the only one who returned, Gwen's mindset was still affected.
The knights almost never saw her smile again.
Mount Vesuvius was also designated as an extremely dangerous zone by the empire, with the emperor personally issuing the order.
He ordered the army to quickly relocate all villages around the volcano and forbade anyone from setting foot on this dormant volcano that could reactivate at any time.
A permanent blockade of Mount Vesuvius was imposed, and it was strictly monitored to ensure that it could be detected in time before an eruption.
So much has happened in just one week.
Erica, however, remained unchanged.
As a natural inheritor, Erica should have shown obvious changes once the calamity awakens.
This further convinced Victor that this incarnation of Erica was also unrelated to the natural inheritance.
After realizing this, Viktor felt exhausted.
Aside from gambling on the chances with Erica, searching for a natural inheritor in this vast world is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Victor had already tried it in his previous life.
Therefore, in this life, without a natural inheritor by his side, even though Victor defeated the calamity, he was still unable to absorb its source power.
He stopped paying much attention to Erica, to the point that Erica herself could sense it.
It seems like Viktor isn't as enthusiastic towards her as before?
Although I wasn't particularly enthusiastic before
But she could still clearly sense that Viktor had cared about her quite a bit before.
Thinking back to his confession at her seventeenth birthday party,
Could it be... that Viktor doesn't like her anymore?
That's a good thing; Erica no longer has to worry every day that Victor might bother her in class.
Although they never harassed her.
However, for some reason, she always felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
But she quickly put that feeling out of her mind.
Because soon after, an even bigger and more shocking incident occurred at the school.
One of the college's professors, Devon Reiser, has gone missing.
Everyone knows who Devon Reiser is, including Erica.
The Raiser family is the most influential and wealthy family in the southern part of the empire, and also has royal connections.
Because of the Emperor's sister, Kardashian married into the Reiser family, forming a marriage alliance between the royal family and the Reiser family.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Devon Reiser was the emperor's nephew.
Regardless of whether the emperor acknowledges this nephew or not,
Since he's missing, we have to send people to look for him.
However, a teaching assistant named Hennie also went missing.
However, no one remembered this invisible teaching assistant, so naturally no one cared whether she had disappeared.
Only Erica remembers Henney.
Because she was Professor Victor's teaching assistant, they had a fairly good relationship.
However, Erica was puzzled as to what connection Devon Reiser's disappearance had with Henney.
Not long after, even Viktor mysteriously disappeared.
From then on, the whole incident became even more perplexing.
No one knows what happened during that time.
...
The hill behind the college.
A gigantic, mountain-sized, ink-colored toad, under the cover of night, trudged up the broken rocks in the dense forest behind the mountain.
The ink-black color gradually spread across large swathes of land, giving rise to a deep, somber atmosphere.
It lay prone on the ground, trembling with fear before a man in a trench coat, too terrified to move.
From a distance, it would be almost impossible to recognize it as a creature.
"This...sir, I am truly sorry."
"I just wanted to avenge this cute little girl. That witcher attacked me without any explanation, so I..."
The man had his hands in his pockets.
He stared calmly at the three bodies on the ground.
His teaching assistant, Henny, was lying on the ground.
Her body was covered in ancient magical runes, which wriggled and emitted thick black smoke, making her look extremely eerie and creepy.
Of the other two bodies, one is an extremely greasy, obese person with piles of fat.
That's Devon Reiser.
Unsurprisingly, in this life, Devon Reiser also begins to bully the helpless Henney.
He deliberately caused trouble for Henney out of pure hostility towards Victor.
Although Henney did not show any demonic behavior, she was indeed a demon in essence.
Demons are drawn to each other, and the demon of greed followed this aura to this place.
Just then, Kefla returned to the capital in pursuit of the demon of greed, and took the opportunity to comfort Gwen, who was feeling down after her previous mission failed.
And so, the story unfolded once again.
Just as the Demon of Greed was about to kill Devon Reiser, Kefla appeared.
But how could Kefla possibly defeat a primordial demon alone?
so……
On the far right, there's a woman who's barely alive, with one eye closed, her whole body weak, her breathing faint, and it looks like her bones are almost all bent and broken.
It was Kevlar, Gwen's sister.
This was one of the key factors that led Gwen to completely lose her emotions and ultimately become a god.
To be honest, this time, Victor intended to watch Kevlar die.
But, even knowing the plot beforehand, why would they allow someone they knew to be brutally killed by a demon?
Viktor still finds it hard to accept.
So he stepped in and saved Kefla.
"If you want to thank someone, thank them for knowing the real me."
As soon as he finished speaking, layers upon layers of complex magic instantly lit up around him, and countless magical patterns flowed freely across the entire back mountain of the academy.
