Then, Victor spoke again, his voice calm and firm:
"Two minutes left."
"So? Have you found a solution?"
Representative Heim has shown her the way to solve this problem with his life.
The answer is that the Dark Mage must be left behind.
However, given the circumstances, it was almost impossible for her to stop Victor by herself.
Aurelion understood that, apart from the goddess of justice, no one could rival Viktor.
But in Hyjal, and indeed in all of Endymion, the only one capable of fighting her is herself.
Erica remains in a deep coma, and the exact cause is still unclear.
Although I had some suspicions in my mind, these were ultimately just thoughts lacking supporting evidence.
Aurelion could not determine the cause of Erica's coma based solely on these vague guesses.
After sorting out her jumbled thoughts, Aurelion took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart.
Her mind was still filled with turmoil.
Although she had made up her mind to no longer rely on Viktor and no longer call him teacher,
But when the moment actually came to face Viktor,
Aurelion discovered that she did not still harbor regrets or the sadness of turning against someone she was once close to.
Even stronger was the fear of Viktor's change of role.
He went from being a beloved teacher to a terrible enemy.
She feared Victor's power, a power capable of destroying the entire world and disregarding even the gods.
Just as the other party once said,
If you're a student, then be a good student.
So, can students never surpass their teachers?
Aurelion was unwilling to accept this.
She clenched her fists slightly, a strong sense of frustration welling up from the bottom of her heart.
On what grounds?
She was already the Empress of the Empire before Victor returned.
He is a top powerhouse in the empire, and even the entire world.
Her power instilled fear in neighboring countries, and no one dared to offend her.
Until Viktor's return,
She seemed to be constantly suppressed by Viktor.
Whenever it involves Victor, she is always the loser.
Is it because she's too persistent?
Obsessed with surpassing Viktor, obsessed with obtaining Viktor.
But essentially, Aurelion just wanted Viktor to know.
As his student, she did not disappoint him.
However, to this day, she has failed to produce any compelling evidence, and instead appears increasingly defeated in front of Viktor.
Ultimately, her heart was filled with Viktor's image, and she couldn't shake it off.
Her existence seemed solely to prove herself to Victor.
She gradually lost herself and was no longer the person she used to be.
"One minute."
As Viktor's emotionless words fell once more, Aurelion felt as if a resounding bell was ringing in her ears.
This instantly awakened her slightly dazed, even somewhat confused, mind.
Yes, she must be as resolute as she was in the oath she swore before the throne.
She didn't come here for any particular person.
Rather, as the ruler of humanity, she came to protect everyone here.
Even when facing his former teacher, Viktor.
Viktor is no longer a special person, nor should he be her teacher.
He has become a disaster, an enemy.
Thump, thump, thump—
A violent pulse emanated from the Eternal Forge.
A heavy roar erupted from within, echoing throughout Hyjal, as if tearing the sky apart.
The rhythmic sounds struck the ears of all the mages, bringing them back to their senses from their dazed state.
Following the direction of the voice, their gazes focused on Aurelion.
As the fear in Aurelion's eyes gradually faded, Victor raised an eyebrow slightly.
"So you're finally going to stop me, huh?"
Before she finished speaking, Aurelion had already started walking towards Victor.
She did not cast any spells, but the air around her was filled with burning magic from the forging of the Eternal Forge.
A blazing, azure flame ignited around her.
Aurelion's eyes shimmered with light, and dazzling azure sparks erupted from the curved stars.
Like an empress sweeping away darkness, she penetrates deep into the heart of darkness with absolute power.
The moment she stepped inside, the dark magic floating in the air felt like sharp blades cutting through Aurelion's skin.
The intense pain constantly assaulted her body and put immense pressure on her mind.
But Aurelion paid no heed to the pain, and even in agony, she persevered.
Under the astonished gazes of many mages, and amidst a sea of expectant eyes, Aurelion resolutely approached Victor.
Even as countless murky magical forces tried to stop her, Aurelion was undaunted by pain.
At this moment, she is the messenger of hope, venturing deep into the heart of darkness.
Despite the magic's corrosive effects leaving her covered in wounds and her clothes torn.
Her fair skin was covered with hideous scars, and her clothes were stained with blood.
The burning magic around them flickered constantly, as if it might completely dissipate at any moment.
Aurelion continued to persevere through extreme pain, overcoming the deadly magic that even high-ranking mages could not endure.
Until she stood before Viktor, looked directly into his deep, obsidian-like eyes, and resolutely raised her head.
At this moment, her eyes held no other emotion.
Only one person, exuding an aura of pure imperial dominance, stood before Victor.
“Victor.”
"I'm here to stop you."
