The thick grass wall blocked out all the sunlight, turning the once bright garden into a dark and menacing place.
Looking at the garden in this state, Victor couldn't help but frown.
Lia glanced at Viktor, who was frowning, and explained helplessly:
"This place has been like this for the past two weeks."
“Every day, a lot of thorns and flowers grow, and if you’re not careful, they can fill the whole garden.”
"All I can do is ask the maid to water the flowers and trim the outside every day."
Her gaze drifted into the pitch-black depths, where the thorns were so thick that they could not be cut by human hands.
Even Henny couldn't get in.
She couldn't possibly call Helnald over to trim it, could she?
Viktor frowned slightly, but still spoke calmly:
"You go back first, I'll go in and see what's going on."
"Huh? How are you going to get in...?"
Before she could finish speaking, the trench coat behind Victor was suddenly enveloped in a crimson light.
Stripes resembling surging lava cover the back of the trench coat, and the hem seems to be ablaze with intense heat.
Flames burned on his body as he slowly walked into the thicket of thorns.
Wherever it goes, the thorns and vines blocking its path will be burned by the flames.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into scattered ashes.
After burning away the vines and thorns, the flames will extinguish themselves, ensuring that they do not harm the surrounding flowers and plants.
With each step, a crimson footprint appears on the road, carrying a scorching heat and light.
The red and green colors mingled together, reflected in Lia's eyes.
She stared blankly at Viktor, who had a smooth journey, and then wisely shut her mouth.
That's true. If even Viktor can't get in, then probably no one else in the house can either.
As Viktor ventured deeper, the flames on the ground gradually died out.
The wind rose and dispersed the ashes completely.
Seeing this, Liya mustered her courage and tentatively stepped inside.
But the residual heat from the ground hit her in the face, startling her so much that she quickly took two steps back.
This immediately made Lia give up the idea of going forward.
She could only stand there, watching Victor's figure gradually disappear.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"He's quite handsome..."
Looking into the depths of the darkness, where a few streaks of light still lingered, she couldn't help but drift into a daze.
Lia gently stretched her neck, pouted, leaned forward, and peeked inside.
But the lingering heat still made her feel a little hot.
She quickly stepped back, shrugged, took one last reluctant look, and left.
...
The deeper you go into the garden, the denser the thorns become.
But none of this affected Viktor at all.
Wherever he went, flames engulfed the land.
Those growing thorns had no room to survive.
Vega, perched on Viktor's shoulder, spread its wings to cover its nose, and a muffled sound came from its beak:
"This taste is getting more and more disgusting."
"This is definitely the one I hate the most."
demon.
The only thing that could evoke such intense disgust in Vega is a demon.
"Demons attract each other."
"Perhaps it was because of Lightton that another demon appeared as well."
With his hands in his pockets, Victor calmly continued his journey deeper into the maze.
However, the garden is so dense that it resembles a forest maze, making it difficult to discern the way.
Sunlight couldn't penetrate; only darkness grew rampant among the heavy green leaves and thorns.
It was as if some terrifying monster was lurking in the deepest part of it.
But Victor paid no attention to the flower walls and thorns around him.
There's no road?
Just force one open.
Flames started burning in the middle of the flower wall and gradually spread.
After expanding to a circle large enough for one person to enter, the flames gradually died down.
Victor easily traversed the ashes of the flower-covered walls and vines, venturing deeper into them.
This time, however, he stopped.
After passing through the flower wall, the surroundings feel particularly spacious.
Thick, brown vines entwined the ground, twisting and turning as if they were alive, occasionally swelling up.
The flames illuminated the darkness before them, revealing the entire scene within the deep garden.
A huge flower bud was closing, trembling slightly, as if it were breathing.
Victor stood there, looking up and down at the pink flower buds supported by huge green vines.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, the flower bud abruptly opened its five huge pink petals.
Among those flower buds lay a fairy.
Her limbs were bound by green branches, with a thick branch running through her thighs and arms and wrapped around her chest.
Suddenly, countless vines shot up from the ground, swinging wildly in the air, disorderly and aggressive.
The earth began to tremble slightly, and the thick vines that sprouted from the soil and the man-eating plants with their mouths wide open turned towards Victor.
Their sharp teeth dripped foul-smelling saliva, and a long, purple tongue swept across their enormous petals.
Countless vines and carnivorous plants mingled together, resembling a giant army of vegetation, eagerly awaiting the next feast.
Viktor's lips curled slightly upward as he muttered to himself:
"After becoming a fifth-tier mage, even sleeping will involuntarily release magic power?"
The moment he finished speaking, the red stripes behind him froze, and a vibrant green suddenly took their place.
In an instant, a pair of thick vines also rose up beneath Victor's feet, as if two giant hands were tearing apart the thick wall above.
The bright sunlight slanted down through the cave entrance, dispelling the deep darkness.
As the wind howled, an astonishing magical ring rose from behind Victor.
At this moment, he unleashed the full power of a fifth-tier mage.
Victor continued to look at the sleeping Coco, and gave a faint smile:
"But it's a pity."
"I am also at the fifth rank."
