Chapter 25. I understand the truth, but why is the crow so big?
Erika stared blankly at the crow in front of her and didn't react for a moment: "Crows... can talk?"
Vigar protected his wings in front of his chest and bowed politely. Looking like a gentleman made Erika a little dazed, but she still couldn't ignore the fact that it was a crow.
"Allow me to introduce myself briefly for a while, miss."
"I am the evil god - Habika."
"Evil god Habika?" Erika murmured this name, but obviously, she had never heard of this name. She is very clear about the empire's history and there has never been such a god recorded.
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't know me. You can call me by my current name, Vigar."
"Then, allow me to ask again."
"Do you really want to save Victor Klevenner?"
Erika finally reacted. At this moment, she completely doesn't care who the other party is, what identity it is, and doesn't care if the other party has the ability. Like grabbing the last straw at the edge of despair, she kept nodding, just wanting the evil god in front of her to save Victor.
Vigar closed his eyes and chuckled.
"The ceremony is not over yet. If you want to save him, you need your strength."
"Believe in me and become my believer, and I will help you fulfill your wish."
The black magic circle is like poisonous snakes spitting out their tongues one by one, spreading on the ground and gathering at Erika's feet. Black aura began to rise around the magic circle and surround Erika. She had never seen this kind of magic or this kind of magic circle before, and she felt very bad. Because it is... an evil god?
Erika had no other choice. She could only nod and agree to the other party. As long as she became its believer, she could save Victor. This was Erika's only thought at present. Without the slightest hesitation, she hurriedly said: "I promise you, believe in you, and become your believer."
Looking at the pious Erika, Vigar's single eye exuded the arrogance of success.
"Very good. I have recognized your sincerity."
His gaze glanced at Victor who had already fallen into a coma. Sighed in his heart.
'Surprisingly, a girl can do this for you, Victor.'
'You really have unknowingly gained some precious things.'
In an instant, mist spread from Vigar's body, as if injecting some magic into the magic circle on the ground. The black magic circle seemed to start swaying wildly. Tiny tentacles extended from the edge and danced on the ground. Then a burst of light shone and enveloped Vigar and Erika.
In the next second, the light was like a broken mirror, and the magic circle disappeared.
Erika opened her eyes and tried to find any abnormal feeling on her body. However... nothing happened. There wasn't even a mark on her body. Is this the ceremony for making a contract? If Vigar knew what the girl in front of him was thinking, it would definitely laugh off its beak. Because it has no teeth. Making a contract is never just a casual talk. This dark magic circle is just a one-way connection for believers. Want to make a contract with it? At least a formal contract like Victor's is required!
"Is this... all right?"
Erika looked at it doubtfully, with obvious anxiety in her tone. Can this save Victor? She must be thinking this way.
Vigar looked at her and smiled without saying a word. With narrowed eyes, he asked: "Before saving him, I need to ask you a question."
"Why are you here?"
Why are you on the top of the volcano?
Erika paused. After pondering for a while, she finally had to tell the truth.
"I heard that the volcano was wailing."
"It said it was in pain."
"Oh?"
Vigar glanced at Erika with interest. Suddenly, he understood everything.
He narrowed his eyes and chuckled, as if guiding the other party step by step with words.
"And then? What else can you hear now?"
Hearing Vigar's question, Erika frowned and shook her head.
"I can't hear anything anymore." she said.
This is a matter of course.
Vigar turned his head. In his heart, he couldn't help thinking:
'Because the fire disaster has been put to sleep by this terrifying man...'
It may never forget that scene.
When the final 'Magic Ark' fell to the bottom of the volcano.
The surging and boiling pillars of fire and magma seemed to freeze and stagnate.
The 'Ark' devoured everything, including Groudon.
In fact, Groudon could have withstood that kind of attack.
If it were in its prime state, it wouldn't be scratched by that kind of war magic at all.
But at that time, Groudon had already been seriously injured, with magma flowing all over its body. Its proud defense power was less than one-tenth of what it used to be.
Groudon finally turned into a lifeless rock block, collapsed inside the volcano, and fell into a forced sleep.
As for why it is sleep rather than death.
Because disasters will never die.
As long as there are still magic elements in the world, disasters will always exist.
As for Victor being in his current state, it is not really being injured at all.
Having witnessed his battle with the fire disaster, it doesn't think there is anything that can hurt Victor now.
At this moment, he is in a state called "magic overload".
Victor used the magic borrowed from it to continuously fight Groudon for three days and two nights without any burden.
But that power is not Victor's own after all.
The magic that Vigar allows him to use is not unlimited. There is 注定 a threshold.
Normally, the consumption level would not reach the threshold at all.
But Victor is definitely not normal.
So at the last moment after his magic was used up, his connection with Vigar was forcibly interrupted.
But this still isn't enough to make Victor faint.
Even more insanely, before Groudon fell asleep, he pulled off a 'magic source' from Groudon's body and forcibly fused it with himself.
This is why it seems that magma is flowing on Victor's body.
Because his body is digesting Groudon's magic source.
Victor himself had already used up his own magic power, and he also forcibly accepted an astonishing external magic source.
If he doesn't faint, who will?
But it's not a big deal. At most, he just needs to rest for a few days.
At present, what interests Vigar even more is the girl in front of him.
'Interesting, interesting...'
'A girl who can talk to disasters. I'm afraid she doesn't even know how astonishing her value really is!'
This is a great gain.
When it was still happy, suddenly, it heard a rush of footsteps.
'Someone is coming?'
Vigar looked at the hillside with a smile. With its astonishing eyesight, it saw a silver figure.
It naturally knew who the other party was, but now is not the time to expose itself.
In order to avoid trouble for itself and Victor, it flapped its wings and came to Victor's side.
The beak picked up Victor's collar.
But the voice still sounded in Erika's ear as usual.
"You saved Victor. I will let him know about this."
"Little girl, see you next time."
As soon as the words fell, in front of Erika, Vigar's body suddenly began to expand. The pitch-black crow instantly turned into a huge black-feathered eagle.
It picked up Victor's collar with its beak and flapped its wings. In an instant, it flew up.
A gust of wind blew, and all the surrounding gravel was blown away. In almost an instant, it disappeared in front of Erika.
"Victor..."
The pitch-black figure became smaller and fainter in the sky, and finally faded out of her sight.
Gwen, who arrived late, missed her chance. She didn't get to catch Victor as she wished and ask him carefully.
Instead, she saw the gradually disappearing black spot in the sky, and her face was extremely heavy.
"Victor? What on earth is going on..."
Then, she noticed Erika.
There were many burn marks on Erika's body. She knelt on the ground and tried her best to squeeze out a smile for herself.
As if using up her last strength, only a plop was heard, and she fainted and fell to the ground.
Gwen: "..."
She walked over and slowly picked up Erika.
When looking up at the sky again, there was only the continuous rainstorm left.
