The mages summoned from the royal capital gathered on the hillside of the volcano and surrounded the volcano.
The mages raised their arms high, and the magic power that gushed out connected with each other, gradually forming a huge magic circle surrounding the volcano.
The light is sparkling and magnificent, stretching for hundreds of miles.
Many magic steel nails nailed on the volcano were affected by the formation, and the magic chains on them began to jingle and move, going deeper and deeper into the volcano.
Runes were carved on the formation, and the huge formation became thicker and thicker, spreading continuously towards a hundred miles away.
The second-level mages stood one level lower than the third-level mages, supplying them with a constant supply of mana.
Until the first batch of second-level mages were unable to continue, the second batch took over.
Wait until the first batch of second-level mages have rested and come back on the field, round after round.
A dozen third-level mages concentrated their minds and began to chant towards the center of the magic circle:
"The God of Naraku cries in pain! Gather the chill of the world!"
"The Kind Yellow God begs! Sing the sorrowful tears of the underworld!"
...
Although Erica is the Duke's daughter, she will not receive any special treatment.
She was also assigned to the ranks of second-level mages.
After the knights evacuated the people, they stayed nearby to guard the mages so that they would not be disturbed.
Magic will attract monsters, so they will guard the mages and kill any monsters that approach.
"This magic circle covers the entire Vesuvius. The longer the spell is cast, the stronger the effect will be."
Duke Levi, a third-rank wizard, tried his best to correct the magic circle. He only hoped that the eruption of the volcano would be delayed.
If this large formation is allowed to repair for a day, it will definitely be able to block all eruptions of Mount Vesuvius.
This went on for an hour, and then the first group of second-level mages went down the mountain, and another group came up.
Erica was among this group of mages. She stood behind Duke Levi and began to chant in a low voice, transferring her magic power to her father.
Duke Levi chanted spells and drew magic circles while observing Erica's every move.
He felt relieved to see that Erica could stand on her own.
"Erica, you've grown up."
The second round of mages went down, and the third group was about to come up, but Erica did not go down.
She secretly drank a bottle of blue potion she bought from Leah, and instantly felt her mental strength replenished again.
Duke Levi was somewhat surprised, yet very happy, to see that Erica was still going on.
"I didn't expect Erica to have so much mental power."
"When I was this age, I was nowhere near her."
Another hour passed, and after the third group of mages went down, the fourth group of mages came up.
Erica was still standing on the magic circle, continuing to supply magic power to Duke Levi.
She secretly drank another bottle of potion and her spirits were restored to full strength again.
If Duke Levi was just surprised just now, he was completely shocked now!
"Erica's talent is so terrifying!?"
"This amazing mental power has surpassed many third-level mages."
As Erica's father, he only now realizes how powerful his daughter is!
Soon, the fourth group of mages also used up their magic power and went down to rest one after another.
Erica secretly drank another bottle and continued the delivery.
All the third-level mages around Duke Levi noticed Erica.
It's already been four hours. Where does she get so much magic power?
Could it be that in the heart of this genius girl, there is an ocean called "magic" stored! ?
These mages couldn't help but ask the Duke:
"Duke Levi, is your daughter a monster? She has such a terrifying mental reserve."
"That's right. I've never seen any cow plowing the land for such a long time."
Duke Levi began to worry. He was afraid that his daughter was being too stubborn and causing irreversible damage to her body.
But when he saw that his daughter seemed quite relaxed, he took back what he was about to say.
What is going on?
He couldn't figure it out.
Five hours later, the first batch of mages in the second round had gone down the mountain to rest, and the second-level mages who were supposed to be in the same team with Erica reached the top of the mountain again.
As a result, they saw the duke's daughter.
She was still standing in the magic circle under Duke Levi, like an amazing light bulb, radiating magical light all over her body.
???
Don't you need a rest?
Yes, Erica would secretly drink a bottle of potion after each batch of mages went down to keep her mana at a relatively relaxed level.
Erica felt the shock and surprise in their eyes and felt very proud of her behavior.
'Thanks to the potion made by Professor Victor, I can still hold on!'
"My father will definitely look upon me with new eyes!"
She was still thinking in a daze, but Duke Levi's roar was like a hammer that woke her up.
"Erica! Get down and rest!!!"
Erica: "…."
It was the first time she saw her father so angry with her. For a moment, she was a little scared and shrank her head and walked away with her head down.
However, her reputation has spread throughout the ranks of second-level mages.
"Who knows? She's a pervert! She didn't leave when I went downstairs for the first time, and when I came back the second time, she was still up there!"
"You mean the daughter of Duke Levi? I've seen it too. Her mental power is comparable to that of a third-level mage..."
"Even Victor would have a hard time competing with her."
Erica had good hearing, and she felt a little proud when she heard these words secretly praising herself.
Some people even compared her with Victor. When she heard this, she couldn't help but cheer for joy.
But Erica also knew very well that if it weren't for those potions, she would not be able to hold on for such a long time.
That magical potion was made by Victor...
Thinking of this, the kind words praising her made her feel surprisingly ugly.
Sure enough, she is no match for Professor Victor.
I'm afraid that she will never be able to see the other person's back in her entire life.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!"
A deafening roar was heard again from the pass of Mount Vesuvius, rolling rocks began to collapse, and ashes in the air flew towards the earth.
The black clouds above the volcano seemed to be shattered with cracks, and the cracks were burning red.
The mountain began to tremble and the magma inside the volcano began to become restless.
"Look! What is that!?"
A knight pointed at the hot raindrops that kept falling from the sky.
Countless fire rains hit the area near the crater, and pieces of rock burst like bombs when they touched the raindrops.
All the mages and knights were on alert. The mages immediately carved temporary magic circles to deal with the crisis, and the knights began to use magic items to add effects to their armor and silver swords.
Is the volcano about to erupt now?
Suddenly, a voice came from Erica's heart:
'It hurts, it hurts.....'
"That voice again! What on earth happened?"
She clearly heard that the sound came from the top of the volcano, and she really wanted to go to the top of the mountain to take a look.
And, who knows... maybe... Professor Victor is there!
Erica remembered what the wizards had said to slander Professor Victor.
She didn't want to blame Victor for causing the volcanic eruption.
However, in this situation, anyone who comes will suspect that it is Victor.
The disappearance of Victor and the volcano that is about to erupt.
"No! I have to find a way to get to the crater and take a look."
Thinking of this, Erica noticed the knights guarding the formation nearby.
She was the only woman in the Order.
She was very beautiful, the second most beautiful woman Erica had ever seen besides her mother.
The first was the sister in Cravenna's store.
Her temperament was completely different from that of her elder sister. She was like a knight walking out of the ice, with a cold aura. Just standing there made people feel alienated.
Keep away strangers.
Erica heard that this knight was the current leader of the Royal Knights - Gwen.
She planned to find this sister and ask her to let her out.
"If I tell him directly to go to the crater, it will definitely not work."
Erica paced in place, thinking, when suddenly an idea popped into her head.
She rushed to Gwen in pretended anxiety.
As she wished, her behavior really attracted the other party's attention.
"Um, Knight Sister, I want to go to the bathroom, can you let me leave here for a while?"
"no."
Gwen answered firmly.
"I am here to ensure the safety of all of you, Ms. Erica, so please be patient."
"Wow... a cold and rigid knight who only knows how to follow orders."
Erica muttered something and went back angrily.
But she became more and more anxious.
The voices from the top of the mountain and the disappearance of Victor seemed to remind her of something.
She had to get out of here and head to the top of the mountain!
At this time, Duke Levi suddenly appeared beside her and patted her on the shoulder.
"Ying!"
Erica trembled like a frightened little rabbit.
Duke Levi said solemnly:
"Give me an explanation, dear."
