When Levi heard the words "blessing of water," he finally realized what it meant:
"You're deliberately trying to provoke me."
When he saw his daughter being held by Victor, he couldn't control his emotions.
His previously trump card, the water magic without incantation, was directly exposed in his anger, leaving Viktor with nothing to see.
“The power of calamity manifests in many ways, one of which is…”
"Victot spoke. The intense flames around him suddenly rose up and transformed into a crimson seed waiting to bloom."
This fire magic doesn't even require the construction of a magic circle; it's released simply by Viktor's mental movement.
"It has a faster release speed than if you don't need to draw a magic circle."
A magnificent burst of flames erupted, forming a giant, blazing flower that exploded violently.
A powerful heatwave swept through the entire space, and the scene before Levi was even slightly distorted by the intense heat.
The intense heat enveloped everything, accompanied by a dazzling beam of light that almost pierced through the deep purple glow.
Viktor watched all this calmly, his hands in his pockets.
Soon, the fierce flames dissipated rapidly.
Only after the surroundings had completely returned to calm did he continue:
"Indeed, I still prefer using fire magic."
Levi exhaled and asked the somewhat leisurely man in front of him:
"And then, why do you need Erica...?"
Why do you think so?
Viktor replied indifferently.
Whenever calamity resurrects, Erica's body unconsciously gains the power of the calamity.
It's as if, when calamity is resurrected in nature, that force must pass through her body and leave some trace within it.
These traces have created Erica's unique physique.
"This is something even you don't know, right?"
Viktor said calmly.
Reeve fell silent.
He knew exactly what Viktor was talking about.
When the Calamity of Wood was resurrected, Erica was covered in flowers.
That was the natural energy that Erica displayed when the Calamity of Wood was resurrected.
But at that time, Reeves really didn't know what had happened.
After all, who would have thought of reviving a calamity and then striking it hard?
Not to mention, can ordinary people really overcome calamities?
Therefore, it is perfectly normal that Reve was completely unaware of the strange phenomena surrounding Erica.
It wasn't until later that Rivi learned about this from a friend in the Mage Council.
Viktor became a councilor because he single-handedly sealed away a monster that appeared in the deepest part of Endymion.
In terms of timing, Victor had just become a member of parliament at that time.
Therefore, Levi knew that the person could only be Viktor.
He recalled the scene of the volcanic eruption.
Then he understood what kind of being Viktor was fighting.
Calamity.
Thinking of this, Levi slowly began to speak:
"So, you've had your eye on Erica from the very beginning."
"Is that right?"
Reeve then realized that Viktor had been at it all from the very beginning, from the moment he confessed his love to his daughter.
He was already setting up the entire chess game.
Viktor paused for a moment, then responded with:
"Perhaps."
Upon hearing Viktor's words, Reeves chuckled softly:
"As expected of a genius from the Clavner family."
"Indeed, how could a genius easily fall into depravity?"
He believed that he had understood everything.
Viktor always kept his abilities hidden, causing others to overlook his strength.
He was meticulously planning everything, and this game required the most perfect piece.
That's Erica.
Victor kept himself hidden, waiting for Erica to appear.
Perhaps, because of Erica's special abilities, he was able to achieve his goal.
Reeves felt a pang of regret.
Was it his fault that his daughter was exposed?
Not necessarily.
At this moment, Viktor's gaze turned serious again as he looked at Reeves:
“Now, let’s get down to business, Your Grace.”
The Duke looked at Victor and nodded:
"certainly."
"I've been wanting to talk to you about this for a while now."
——
Erica gave up struggling in Victor's arms.
It wasn't because she didn't want to break free from Victor's embrace, but because she simply couldn't move.
Behind her was her stern father, whom she did not want to see in such a distressed state.
However, after giving up the struggle, she couldn't help but secretly raise her head and steal a glance at Viktor.
Professor... is so handsome.
Looking at Viktor so closely, Erica felt he seemed even more handsome.
Erica couldn't quite define what this feeling was; perhaps it was admiration, or perhaps gratitude.
The thought of the professor saving him twice from the clutches of the Wind Calamity and the Fire Calamity filled him with a sense of relief.
Viktor's aloof and handsome figure lingered in her mind.
After a moment of silence, Levi's calm voice suddenly rang out:
Erica.
Erica was jolted awake from her reverie when she heard her father call her name.
She quickly twisted her body and broke free from Victor's embrace, and this time, she succeeded.
Erica pushed Victor's arms away and glanced at him.
Then, with a hint of apology, he bowed to him and hurriedly returned to Levi's side.
Reeve stretched out a hand, shielding Erica behind him, then looked up at Victor:
