"What I want is Hyjal; as for the Dark Archmage, he is irrelevant to me."
Upon hearing this, Erica, who was standing behind Viktor, felt a chill run down her spine.
What's going on? The professor didn't come to rescue her?
Is she less important than a big tree?
At the same time, the other mages also understood the true meaning behind Victor's words.
Hyjal refers to the sacred tree that floats on the floating rocks, the same sacred tree that the Dark Archmage currently relies on.
That was the first tree, according to legend, planted by the gods themselves.
But what does Viktor want with this tree?
Wait a moment.
Hyjal is the energy source that keeps the entire Endymion suspended in the air.
Even if Hyjal is taken away, Endymion's fate will still be to fall from the sky.
In the end, does Victor still intend to let Endymion crash directly into the entire world?
Thinking of this, countless people turned pale, their expressions became blank, and a strong sense of despair and confusion flashed in their eyes.
If it were simply the Dark Archmage breaking the seal, then they would still have a chance to stop him.
Now that Victor has arrived, even if all the councilors are present, who can stop him?
Aurelion was also plunged into despair.
She had originally thought she could defeat the Dark Wizard here, save everyone, and successfully stop Endymion's calamity.
In this way, the entire world, and even the entire Karencia Empire, will be protected.
Everything should have been a fait accompli thanks to her efforts; she was about to become everyone's hope.
Everything was going smoothly.
Until Victor appeared.
The moment the black figure appeared out of thin air, Aurelion froze on the spot, motionless.
Her body was stiff, her eyes vacant.
Although my gaze remained fixed on the other person, my mind couldn't find peace.
It was as if a monster was whispering in her heart, disturbing her thoughts.
Her trembling wasn't just due to the emotional turmoil she felt upon seeing Viktor.
More so because of her and Erica's experience around the Shulbon Tree, and the shadow Victor left in her heart at that time.
Whenever Aurelion faces Viktor, she is reminded of that terrifying super-tier magic.
That light seemed to always be flashing in her vision, and that terrifying pressure never seemed to truly leave her.
Instead, it remained lurking deep within her, continuously influencing her spirit.
Now, what Victor brings her is not only regret, but also a profound inner demon.
The enemy was right in front of her, but Aurelione dared not make a move, nor even entertain the thought of challenging him.
Now, she can't even muster a shred of the courage she once had to challenge Viktor.
At this moment, Victor also noticed Aurelian's dazed reaction.
Those empty eyes were filled with fear and self-doubt.
Was it because I put too much pressure on her last time?
Victor had assumed Aurelion would directly challenge him.
After all, she was the only one on the field who had the power to stop it all.
The appearance of this great demon king should have been stopped by her.
She showed no fear even towards the prophesied Dark Archmage, displaying a courage that greatly pleased him.
However, when she faced him, she suddenly backed away.
That won't do.
He could understand Aurelion's mindset.
After all, in such a suffocating situation, any wrong step could lead to irreparable consequences.
This turned this sky city into a disaster for all mankind.
Victor could see that although Aurelion was eager to stop his plans,
However, the pressure made her timid and unable to act as she pleased.
However, time waits for no one.
To ensure the smooth progress of the upcoming plot, Viktor can no longer wait for Aurelion to grow up.
Therefore, he slightly raised one hand.
This seemingly unintentional action went unnoticed by anyone at that moment.
They were all immersed in despair and sorrow, and had no time to pay attention to Viktor in front of them.
The next second, Viktor calmly looked at Aurelion and said indifferently:
You have to treat me as an enemy.
