At this moment, the mage who called himself "The Illusion of a Thousand Faces" had already fallen to the ground.
His large, square head rested on the ground, his eyes displaying a dizzying, stagnant image.
His back was pressed against the ground, and the cracked earth radiated intense heat from where he fell, while thick mist rose up.
At this rate, the monk's body will be roasted to a crisp.
At this moment, the Goddess of Justice did not even draw her sword from her waist, but simply gripped the scabbard tightly.
Clearly, in the battle just now, the Goddess of Justice easily subdued the fifth-tier mage who was blocking her way using only her sword sheath.
Vega's single eye widened, its pupil filled with astonishment as it stared at the scene before it.
"Wait, what's going on here?"
It was very puzzled, because it knew the mage in front of it all too well.
Isn't this one of Victor's tools, the chief member of the Mage Council?
Ah, don't misunderstand.
This wasn't directed at Heimhorn, but rather at all the members of the Mage Council in relation to Vega.
They were basically just Viktor's tools.
Why did this little helper suddenly go crazy today, insisting on running into the goddess of justice?
Of course, the goddess of justice didn't take it seriously.
In his haste to catch up with Viktor, he even struck the senator on the head with a blunt object.
Heim Horn, the renowned fifth-tier mage, was knocked unconscious before he could even put up a fight.
Ever since the Goddess of Justice accepted the so-called 'efficient justice,' her path of justice has gone further and further astray.
As a result, the entire process only took less than five minutes.
Thinking of this, Vega felt even more speechless at Heimhorn lying on the ground.
If you don't have the skills, why would you take on a job you can't handle?
But if such a short time is wasted, could Viktor have already disappeared?
When Vega looked back, he saw that Victor, who had been in the crater, was indeed nowhere to be seen.
At this point, it couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"What? It's done already?"
Is Viktor that fast?
That wretched Mage Council, they ruined my plans.
Yes, Vega did it on purpose.
It also knew that the Goddess of Justice was nearby, so Victor and Kokot certainly wouldn't dare to make any big moves.
Vega kept urging the goddess of justice to stop Victor and Kokot, actually just to make her make a mistake.
When the goddess of justice makes a mistake, she will have more doubts about the justice she upholds.
This would make it easier for him and Victor to fool her.
As it turned out, Vega almost succeeded just now; he nearly fooled the goddess of justice into a trap.
Unexpectedly, the mage suddenly appeared, disrupting its plans.
Those mages are all scoundrels.
Who exactly ordered them?
Vega flapped his wings angrily, his face full of displeasure.
Then, the 'Gwen' beneath him also heard Vega's words.
She promptly sheathed her sword.
"Chase."
She said it crisply and decisively, then took off running in the direction where Victor had disappeared.
Seeing this, Vega was pleasantly surprised.
This time, the goddess didn't even ask for its opinion; she went after Victor on her own initiative.
What does this tell us?
This means she's feeling threatened!
Unexpectedly, through a series of unforeseen events, they successfully fooled the goddess of justice.
"Yes, yes, yes, let's chase them!"
"If you don't hurry up and pursue him, your husband might become someone else's husband!"
The goddess of justice didn't even refute, moving so fast that she almost transformed into a silver whirlwind and quickly disappeared from the spot.
Soon, the man and the bird broke through the volcano's territory and arrived at the other side.
Towering, robust trees stand here, their dense foliage almost completely obscuring the sky, with only sparse sunlight filtering through the gaps.
At the same time, all sorts of strangely shaped plants have roots growing in the forest.
The thorns with eyes twisted into a ball, or the giant royal flower opened a hole, emitting a strong stench.
This is the realm of wood.
Although its appearance is very similar to the Elf Forest, the feeling it evokes is completely different.
Although the Elf Forest is also a forest, the natural energy it contains includes chaotic air of the six major attributes.
For example, the sun high in the sky represents the fire element, while falling rain or morning dew hanging on branches belongs to the water element.
Earth, storms, and thunder—these elements have all become part of the Elf Forest.
However, only the element of "wood" exists here.
The sky was completely obscured by dense trees, and the only sensation underfoot was softness.
This is quite different from the hardness of the earth.
This firm yet slightly elastic feel is reminiscent of a pile of leaves stacked together.
Clang—Clang—
Suddenly, the sound of hammering came from ahead.
Vega and the Goddess of Justice looked in the direction of the sound.
Just then, a dwarf councilor was seen sitting by the fireplace, his hammer constantly striking the blade against the red-hot anvil.
As soon as the goddess of justice arrived, Ryan Kent stopped banging.
He spat out a spark and placed the forged weapon into a large bucket filled with clean water.
Sizzle—
A cloud of smoke rose, and Ryan Kent's gaze, though hazy, locked onto the direction of Vega and 'Gwen'.
His gaze was resolute. He shouldered the newly forged weapon and spoke:
"Not bad, you actually managed to defeat the [Thousand-Faced Illusion] and get here."
