They slowly set foot on the path leading to the Magic Ravine.

Viktor stared at the distant solitary bridge, where various elemental magical energies were swirling together. The depths of the ravine were covered with all sorts of strange plants.

Viktor knew very well that the depths of this ravine were far from as peaceful as they appeared.

Various violent elements could be felt even from afar, one could only imagine how terrifying the magical power must be deep within the ravine.

The moment Aurelianne stepped in, she suddenly felt her breathing become incredibly heavy.

But she still stubbornly followed behind Viktor.

Viktor walked on the solitary bridge, his expression unchanged. No matter how terrifying the chaotic magical aura was, it couldn't move him in the slightest.

Soon, a heavy roar came from deep within the ravine. Viktor stopped in his tracks, his eyes fixed firmly ahead.

In the blink of an eye, a gray figure lunged at Viktor from the depths.

The magical beast looked like a fox, but its body was covered with hard stone shells, between which burned raging black flames.

Seeing this, Aurelianne's body trembled slightly.

Her experience on the Milute Plains last time made her instinctively want to use magic to attack when she saw the magical beast.

But no matter how she tried to mobilize her magical power, there was no response.

The chaotic magic in the Magic Ravine prevented her from using magic.

The power of mages was greatly restricted here!

But almost the instant the magical beast appeared, a silver card whipped out from Viktor's waist.

It moved so fast that one could only see a flash of silver light before the silver iron card sliced across the magical beast's throat, causing a spray of fresh blood to gush out.

But this was just the beginning. The silver iron card flashed with a red light of flame, as if spreading like a combustible medium, and the beast's body was instantly engulfed in flames.

Soon, it turned pitch black and fell into the abyss below.

Aurelianne stood dumbfounded at how easily a magical beast had been dealt with.

In the Magic Ravine, she couldn't even mobilize her magical power.

Yet Viktor seemed completely unaffected, effortlessly disposing of that monster.

And that iron card, what was it?

So this was how a mage should really fight?

Cocotte, on the other hand, showed no change. She sat on her cloud and yawned.

It was normal for some magical beasts to appear at the entrance of the ravine.

Viktor's performance didn't surprise her, although his methods didn't quite seem like those of a mage.

But as they went further, Cocotte became increasingly puzzled and confused.

Why did she feel that this human was even more familiar with the path through the Magic Ravine than she was?

He didn't even need her guidance or reminders.

But that wasn't the main point.

Theoretically, as one went deeper into the Magic Ravine, there should be fewer magical beasts, but correspondingly, the strength of the beasts should increase.

However, the number of magical beasts actively seeking out Viktor was increasing.

At first, it was just one or two, but now...

Cocotte forced open her sleepy eyes, and the scene before her was hard to believe.

Magical beasts were pouring towards Viktor like a flood.

They trampled over each other, frantically approaching Viktor, completely disregarding their fallen comrades in front.

Countless magical beasts surged on the solitary bridge. Due to limited space, the frenzied beasts were constantly falling into the ravine below.

Yet they still swarmed forward eagerly.

Soon, flying beasts also emerged from the darkness.

Fanged praying mantises, sulfur flies with green slime in their mouths, and even green bats with four pairs of compound eyes covering their heads darkened the already gloomy sky as they flew towards them.

And the target... was naturally Viktor.

"This... this could almost be considered a small-scale beast tide..." Cocotte said lazily, but with a hint of shock in her tone.

This level was already a 'sudden situation' for the Magic Ravine.

Theoretically, as a council member, she should be helping Viktor at this point.

But...

Cocotte looked at Viktor.

At some point, dozens of iron cards had begun spinning around him, forming what seemed like an impenetrable iron wall.

The moment those fearless magical beasts touched the iron wall, they were instantly shredded as if caught in a blade of wind, turning into a mist of blood without even leaving a corpse behind.

Whether beasts on the ground or insects in the air, their fragile bodies were like blank paper before Viktor.

Viktor walked forward with his hands in his pockets.

Wherever he passed, not a blade of grass remained.

"Is this... really a mage?" Cocotte questioned her century-long life as a mage for the first time.

Viktor's way of fighting was unheard of to her.

Many powerful mages had passed through the Magic Ravine before.

But without exception, every mage would choose to navigate carefully, and even when encountering magical beasts, they would avoid combat due to magical restrictions.

Or they would use geographical advantages, using magic to make the beasts fall off cliffs on their own.

Mages had a thousand and one tricks, but she had never seen a mage like Viktor.

It was as if he was born for battle.

He wasn't limited to just using magic; Cocotte could see at a glance that this attack method was monotonous.

It was merely using iron cards made of special materials and releasing a bit of magical power to control them.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

As exquisite as...

A machine with a well-programmed algorithm.

The group walked through the ravine, during which everyone was very quiet, extremely silent.

Aurelianne didn't dare to approach and disturb Viktor, fearing she might distract her teacher and cause him to lose focus.

After all, in this situation, if a mistake were to occur, the consequences would be unimaginable.

She had Viktor's help to constantly 'revive', but Viktor himself didn't.

She always remembered that she was brought out by Viktor to broaden her horizons, not to be a burden.

As they went deeper into the ravine, the surrounding vegetation gradually disappeared, replaced by more violent thunder and lightning and unrestrained black flames.

The lightning was like countless vipers becoming agitated under the urging of war drums, flicking their tongues to threaten the group.

The lightning instantly engulfed the low-hanging dark clouds in the sky, and before them, there seemed to be nothing left but endless lightning.

"This is the Storm Land."

"It's constantly filled with thunder and lightning, one of the more dangerous areas of the Magic Ravine."

Cocotte stroked her floating cloud, seemingly soothing its uneasy emotions, as she explained to Viktor.

"Further ahead, the magical beasts are no longer ordinary ones."

"They're more like elemental aggregates."

Viktor didn't respond, as he had known all this from the beginning.

A magical beast flickering with lightning emerged from nearby, but before it could make any move.

A flaming iron card tore through the surrounding air, turning into a blazing arrow that flew at high speed towards the elemental beast.

In a second, the iron card had sliced through the magical beast hundreds of times.

The elemental beast, subjected to such powerful cutting force, vanished in a single pass, dissipating into wisps of smoke without a trace.

The lazy elf, watching Viktor's marvelous techniques, straightened her back and marveled inwardly:

'Even the magical beasts here are instantly annihilated, how powerful.'

In fact, she still didn't understand why Viktor possessed such terrifying strength.

Being in the Magic Ravine, even she felt her magical power restricted, making it difficult to use some complex and demanding powerful spells.

If she were in Viktor's position right now, frankly speaking, she couldn't do it.

Vega stood on Viktor's shoulder, constantly pretending to be an ordinary yet not-so-ordinary crow.

After all, normal crows couldn't enter the Magic Ravine.

Feeling the chaotic magical power of the Magic Ravine, Vega inwardly sighed.

'What a monster.'

Although it had marveled many times before, Vega was still shocked by Viktor's abnormal combat abilities every time.

As they walked, Viktor suddenly stopped.

Cocotte, seeing Viktor suddenly halt, asked puzzledly:

"Viktor, why have you stopped?"

Storms raged around them, with lightning pouring down from the sky in torrents.

Viktor looked at the blue lightning streaking across the sky, narrowed his eyes, and said calmly.

"All the spoils from killing magical beasts in the Magic Ravine will belong to me, right?"

The two didn't quite understand Viktor's words, but Cocotte thought for a moment and said:

"Hmm... indeed, there's no problem with that."

She couldn't understand what Viktor meant by this, but in the next second, her drowsy eyes widened.

At some point, the red patterns on Viktor's coat began to flash on and off, suddenly brightening, as if lava was gradually flowing.

Feeling a suppressed and scorching aura beginning to burst forth from Viktor.

Cocotte hurriedly rubbed her eyes.

Did I see wrong?

But in the next second, Viktor's aura made her even more certain of this feeling.

It was as if a world-shaking magical beast was reawakening, a harbinger of its reemergence into the world.

The elf stood stunned, suddenly understanding something.

From the moment they entered the ravine, whenever Viktor released an attack, those red light stripes on his coat would constantly flash.

At first, she didn't think much of it, after all, she had always felt that Viktor's coat was no ordinary item.

It could be a special mage's robe.

Now, she suddenly realized something.

Why were the magical beasts of the ravine so eager to attack Viktor?

Magical beasts have a sense of territory.

The more powerful the magical beast, the less it allows other magical beasts to invade its territory.

She didn't understand how Viktor was mimicking this terrifying aura, but now in her eyes.

Viktor's aura was like that of a powerful fire beast capable of destroying the world.

Cocotte hurriedly sat up straight.

"No way, is he really human?"

What human would emit the scent of a magical beast?

As an elf, Cocotte could sense more things.

This aura, compared to a magical beast, was actually more similar to—

Pure, raging fire elemental energy.

No wonder Haim's letter could be burned, this completely solved the mystery.

She seemed to realize something:

Why did Viktor suddenly reveal this ferocious aura in the Storm Land?

And what did he mean by what he just said?

"Roar——！！！"

A violent roar tore through heaven and earth, the surrounding lightning suddenly shed like thousands of vipers shedding their skin, transforming into countless small dragons, frantically swaying.

The rubble in the Storm Land began to fall continuously, and strong whirlwinds rose again from the bottom of the ravine.

A pale giant hand gradually extended from the bottom of the ravine, clinging to the surrounding mountain body, and dust immediately filled the entire sky.

Behind that vast dust, blue lightning constantly excited under the shadows, and a giant head slowly revealed its outline.

As lightning split the sky, everyone saw clearly the world-devouring magical beast before them.

Cocotte's eyes widened, her previous drowsy demeanor completely gone, her face now full of seriousness and concern:

"The Storm Dragon King!? Why on earth did you provoke it?!"

The crow on Viktor's shoulder suddenly spoke, using the storm wind so that only Viktor could hear:

"Viktor."

Hearing Vega suddenly speak up, Viktor naturally understood what Vega meant.

Magic link.

But Viktor shook his head and said:

"Not necessary."

Viktor wanted to use his own peak strength to deal with this terrifying boss.

The lord of the Magic Ravine's Storm Land - the Storm Dragon King.

An ultimate magical construct synthesized from magical power, it wasn't a true dragon.

Facing the terrifying magical beast before him, Viktor suddenly said:

"Aurelianne."

Aurelianne, whose robes were almost flying up in the storm behind him, suddenly came to her senses.

The chaotic magic of the Reia Ravine made it impossible for her even to open her mouth.

She could only prick up her ears, listening carefully to Viktor's words under the raging storm and flashing lightning.

"This is the lesson you need to learn today."

"Remember to write a report when we get back."

Viktor flung two cards towards the sky, and instantly, one hundred and eight iron cards began dancing in the air.

They spun frantically around Viktor, forming a towering storm of cards.

The interplay of red and green colors looked so dazzling under the gloomy dark clouds.

But this was just the beginning.

Gradually, his entire body was enveloped by a scorching red energy.

The body under that coat was gradually covered with a solid shell interspersed with lava.

On the coat, it was as if a pair of giant beast eyes had opened.

Two rays of light as bright as the sun burst forth, like a sun piercing through the gloom in this Storm Land.

His whole body radiated light, like a descending demon god.

The lightning and hurricanes of the Storm Land gradually subsided, replaced by a red burning sky and a heat that melted everything.

The scorching heat suddenly enveloped Viktor, and the ground beneath his feet immediately squeezed out spots of lava.

Aurelianne's face flushed slightly as she covered her mouth, looking at Viktor.

Teacher, he's...

So... so cool!

Seeing this scene, Cocotte froze for a few seconds.

"The long-standing abnormal chaos of the Magic Ravine, actually changed by Viktor!?"

This kind of magic that could change the environment... was a power that humans absolutely couldn't possess.

Suddenly, as if realizing something, she blurted out in a daze:

"Calamity?"
