In an instant, the wild grass became incredibly lush, the greenery seemingly washing away the despair of the moment, and a sense of nature filled the surroundings.
The elves who had been secretly observing were equally astonished when they saw this forest that had suddenly grown out of nowhere.
Amazement, admiration... a variety of emotions surged from their bodies in an instant.
A rich, natural energy washed over her, and Kasanna looked up at the miraculous greenery.
The surrounding flames seemed to gradually dissipate under the greenery.
It was as if a battle had never taken place here.
Viktor smiled faintly:
"Even if you can defeat me, so what?"
"Since I can get in here, I can leave here at any time."
Kasanna did not respond to him.
Because she knew that what Victor said was absolutely true.
If Viktor hadn't deliberately revealed himself, she would never have been able to spot him.
A fourth-tier mage who can appear before her anytime, anywhere.
This is undoubtedly a very serious potential threat to the Raiser family.
Kasanna's voice trembled slightly:
"What exactly is it that makes you so hostile towards the Raiser family?"
"lady."
Viktor narrowed his eyes and looked at her coldly.
"Even you are willing to give up everything for your family."
"..."
Kasanna fell silent instantly.
But Viktor's voice continued.
My conditions remain unchanged.
"Once I've gathered everything I need, I'll return your son to you."
Victor put one hand in his pocket, picked up the stunned Aurelion with the other, and turned around.
"By the way, your guards are quite good."
"Now, she's mine."
Elsa stood up shakily, gave Cassandra a very guilty look, lowered her head, and followed Viktor slowly away.
Kasanna weakly raised her head and looked at Viktor's back.
Suddenly, she noticed the raven perched on Viktor's shoulder.
It slowly turned around and stared at Kasanna with its single eye.
In its eyes, a golden light flashed.
In a daze, she could only see a mocking glint in the crow's eyes, as if it were chuckling.
Just like...
A fraudster stole everything from her.
And then he would mock her wantonly in front of her.
The next second, a black wind suddenly began to blow without warning.
Its color grew even deeper, as if it were about to completely engulf Victor and his group, sweeping them away.
Kasanna stared blankly at the black hurricane.
Until it gradually disappeared, the sunlight shone down again.
Viktor's figure seemed to be accompanied by that black wind.
They vanished without a trace.
Kasanna looked at the spot where Viktor had disappeared, recalling the glimmer of light in the raven's eyes before it left.
She stretched out a hand, trying to activate her abilities in mid-air.
However, no power answered her call.
At this moment, Kasanna's feelings became incredibly complicated.
It felt like a relief, yet also like a loss.
Perhaps the curse etched into her bloodline was finally removed, and she no longer had to participate in those wars she loathed so much because of this damned ability.
Or perhaps it was the dissipation of this power that made her yearn for the glory that once belonged only to her.
It was as if a tangled net had enveloped her, leaving her nowhere to go.
Kasanna lowered her head and sat down on the ground.
He hugged his legs with both hands, looking utterly dejected.
The surrounding greenery began to grow gradually, and countless elves peeked out from the trees in all directions, walking towards Cassandra.
They surrounded Kasanna and watched her silently.
A sense of sorrow and loneliness gradually enveloped them.
Under the interplay of sunlight and greenery, it seems to have progressed even further.
...
"Teacher, I... feel a little unwell."
Outside the Raiser family's gate, Aurelion finally couldn't contain her emotions and spoke to Victor.
She was never a cruel or heartless child.
When I saw that cruel scene, and saw Aunt Cassandra's desolation.
She was speechless with reluctance.
But Aurelion understood that the hatred between the Raiser family and her teacher was irreconcilable.
But……
"Teacher, why is this happening?"
Aurelion lowered her head, feeling dejected.
“I originally thought that if I came back with my aunt, I could stop the conflict between you.”
In the end, there was nothing I could stop.
Suddenly, a strong hand landed on Aurelion's head.
A strong sense of security filled my heart as the teacher's voice gently rang in my ears.
"Because she is your family member, you will subconsciously protect and defend her."
Viktor gazed ahead at the advanced city, which remained brightly lit even at night.
Even though the Leiser family suffered casualties, it did not affect its operation.
Surrounded by lights, it was as if he had returned to a world he once knew.
"But I'm the same."
Lia is also his family in this world.
Therefore, within our capabilities.
Viktor would not allow anyone to wrong her in the slightest.
Aurelion looked up blankly at Victor's cold, stern face.
Without realizing it, she herself didn't know why.
The question suddenly came out.
"Then... will you protect me for the rest of your life?"
"..."
For some reason, the wind started blowing again.
It seemed to carry a hint of melancholy.
