Viktor frowned slightly upon hearing Vega's words.
What kind of nonsense is going on in that crow's head?
He glanced at Vega indifferently, then slowly spoke:
"Because we'd better get back to the present world before that."
Hearing this, Vega, who was standing next to him, seemed a little puzzled.
Is a birthday really that urgent?
But Victor didn't offer any further explanation, instead turning to gaze at the fierce battle on the River Styx.
At this moment, Erica transformed into a dozen tiny red sparks, nimbly weaving through the overwhelming onslaught of dark purple soul fire.
Each wisp of crimson spark cleverly avoided the soul fire, eventually converging on the other side of the transparent deck.
Amidst the crimson flames, a violent tornado formed.
Through the scorching flames, the figure of a young girl gradually emerged.
She tossed her long golden hair, her eyes gleaming with confidence and composure as she stared intently at the crazed boatman Charon.
Erica now is undoubtedly a completely different person compared to before.
Whether it's the ability to handle crises, analyze opponents' moves, or exploit their weaknesses, there has been a significant improvement.
Before this, the frail Charon would have been completely powerless to resist his fury.
But now, after undergoing nine trials of hell, Erica has been completely transformed.
After all, she possessed Victor's power and had challenged countless gods of the underworld.
Having gone through countless battles, his combat skills and experience have undergone a qualitative leap.
If they can't even beat Charon, a boatman.
She herself didn't have much hope of passing the final trial.
Because Erica will soon be turning eighteen.
They need to leave the underworld and return to the capital before she comes of age.
During his time in the underworld, Victor learned about the human world through special channels.
After each trial, he would talk with Lia in the garden outside the Gates of Hell to learn about what was happening in the human world.
Now, many people in the capital are beginning to suspect Erica's disappearance.
As the daughter of a duke, she naturally attracted the attention of nobles and newspapers.
The Cleviner family has publicly announced Victor's death.
Erica, the capital's number one genius after Victor, is the empire's youngest third-tier mage.
But at this crucial moment, they mysteriously disappeared from the capital.
This sudden evaporation inevitably sparked conspiracy theories and suspicions.
Even though the Duke of Reeves astutely claimed in advance that Erica was traveling, such an explanation still left most people skeptical.
After all, how can one convince the public with only one side's story and without strong evidence?
For example, Aurelion, the new empress of the Karencia Empire.
She made it clear that the Empire was currently short of manpower and hoped that Duke Rivi’s daughter could assume a suitable imperial position ahead of schedule.
On the one hand, this was to replenish the empire's manpower and alleviate the pressure of government administration.
On the other hand, it was also to hone Erica's abilities and prepare her for a higher imperial position in the future.
But this statement is clearly just a probe, and it's possible that Aurelion has already discovered something.
It was only thanks to Duke Reeves's unreliable explanations that the matter was barely delayed for a while.
You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever.
Every year, the Duke of Riviera would throw a grand birthday party for his daughter.
Inviting people from all walks of life to participate in the grand event made Erica's birthday party a lively and extraordinary occasion.
And this year's banquet is even more indispensable.
This birthday signifies that she is about to become an adult.
If Erica is indeed absent, many VIPs will surely be suspicious and full of curiosity.
At that time, the Duke of Reeves will face an inexplicable problem.
Did his daughter also meet with misfortune like Viktor?
"We must get her home before her birthday."
This is Victor's promise to Erica and Duke Rivi.
Vega listened from the side, his face showing a thoughtful and serious expression.
It found Victor's reasoning quite reasonable, but at the same time, it felt that things were not so simple.
Erica's unique physical condition is extremely important to Victor.
After some consideration, Vega finally agreed with the statement that Erica was legally 18.
Viktor is cunning and sly; he certainly won't reveal his true intentions directly.
However, the truth seems less important now.
Most importantly, this battle will determine whether Erica can stand alone.
By this moment, Erica was extremely familiar with Charon's offensive tactics.
She was able to seize the opportunity to flip over and dodge when the opponent unleashed an attack that covered most of the deck.
Improving herself in battle was Victor's highest praise for Erica.
Taking advantage of the fleeting moment of dodging, Erica guided the surging elemental magic with both hands.
Dark purple lightning and azure water intertwined and surged in her palm, creating a dazzling symphony of colors.
The complex and intricate magic array rapidly twisted, with countless intricate patterns intersecting and intertwining.
The two chaotic magical energies merged into one and burst forth towards Charon once more.
The azure and dark purple magic twisted and merged, transforming into a long, raging serpent of lightning and water, which fiercely stabbed towards Charon.
boom--
With a deafening roar, waves crackled with electricity, accompanied by billowing smoke.
However, the consequences were self-evident.
As the water splashed to the ground, Charon remained as steady as a mountain, the countless gold coins on his body blocking the powerful magic.
