The high-rise mansions gradually collapsed, and smoke and dust rose, covering the huge courtyard with a layer of swirling brown dust.
Victor stood behind Jess Reiser, watching him coldly.
His trench coat billowed in the dust, the white runes on it glowing faintly, repelling all the dust that rushed towards him.
Hearing that familiar voice, Jess's heart skipped a beat.
It was as if a huge boulder had been suddenly lifted and lodged in his throat.
He didn't even realize when Victor had appeared.
It was like a gust of wind that suddenly appeared behind him.
Jess's face stiffened, as if several steel nails had pierced his muscles, but he still tried to remain calm and said:
“Vic... Senator Clavner.”
"I don't understand what you mean."
Victor's eyes remained completely calm.
Didn't you understand?
A spell rose from behind Victor, and the formation rapidly shifted.
A white light flashed, and Cindy, who was lying on the ground, seemed to be covered by a white film. She floated up from the air and drifted to Jess's side.
"You should remember this person, right?"
"I did the call."
Upon hearing Viktor's words, Jess shuddered violently.
Looking at the unconscious and seriously injured Cindy in front of him, he assumed that the bear-man had attacked her and caused her serious injuries.
But to my surprise, it was Viktor who did it!?
His face remained tense, his eyes darted around, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
But... what about that bear-man?
Jess found it hard to connect the enormous bear-man with Victor.
How could a bear-man possibly obey human commands?
But what he saw next completely overturned his understanding.
Viktor shouted at the rising dust:
"Helnarson".
The moment the words fell, a burly bear-man gradually emerged from the smoke and dust.
His body was unharmed, only his clothes were torn in a few places.
A powerful aura emanated from his every breath, and the pounding of his heart sounded like the beating of giant drums, reaching Jess's ears.
As its massive body stood in the sunlight, the thick smoke and dust gradually dissipated.
The enormous ruins behind them were revealed to everyone, with rubble constantly falling and crashing into the broken walls that had been pulverized into sand and gravel.
The dilapidated building looked as if it were about to collapse in mid-air.
The pool that was just gushing water has now split in two.
The water was still gushing out, but it flowed into the ruins.
The massive, twisted iron gate was also hanging on the ruins, creaking and groaning.
As for the family knights and maids? They've vanished without a trace.
As a result of the battle, almost all of them disappeared in that attack.
This huge courtyard was completely buried by broken stones and broken wood.
Only Helnarson, his tall figure with his back to the collapsed ruins, remained calm and composed.
Upon seeing this, Jess's mind went blank.
"Why...?"
He looked at the magic cannon he was holding with difficulty, his hands trembling.
That shot just now clearly hit the bear-man's body.
Under that towering white light, no living thing could survive.
Even the bear-man...
But... what exactly is this bear-man?
Jess's eyes trembled incessantly in their sockets, as if in despair, and he loosened his grip on the magic cannon.
He slowly lowered his head and looked at his hands.
Those hands were trembling uncontrollably with fear and shock.
Perhaps overwhelmed by a terrifying sense of fear, he felt a sudden darkness engulf him, his body went unsteady, and he landed hard on his backside on the shattered floor.
Are you surprised?
Viktor said calmly.
With heavy steps, Hainarson approached Jess Reiser.
A strong sense of crisis surged into Jess's heart. Jess raised his head and stared tremblingly at the terrifying bear-man.
The giant bear-man placed his thick arms on his chest, stood firmly in front of Victor, and gave a slight bow.
"Master of the family."
Jess's mind went blank for a moment.
House...head of the house?
This bear-man... he's actually one of Victor's men!?
How did he do that?!
Jess's body trembled even more as he asked Victor:
"Is he... a demi-human slave?"
Hearing this, Helnarson lowered his head and looked down at Jess:
"Please allow me to introduce myself, Mr. Jess."
“I am Helnason, the butler of the Clevner family.”
His words were filled with a politeness and respect that seemed incongruous with his physical appearance.
But beneath Helnarson's refined demeanor lay a robust physique that gave Jess an extremely ominous feeling.
It was as if it were a warning to him.
Just one punch.
That's right, one punch to the bear-man in front of him.
That would be enough to kill him.
Jess's eyes widened and his mouth gaped open.
"housekeeper?"
The Clevina family actually appointed a demi-human as their butler?
Moreover, it was a bear-man!
How is that possible?
The brutality of the bear-men is unimaginable to ordinary people.
In the minds of all those who have seen bear-men, they are completely incapable of communicating with humans.
They are like real wild beasts, possessing strength even greater than that of a real giant bear.
