A blue formation appeared out of thin air on the top of the volcano, and a figure gradually became real from it.
It's Erica.
Without interrupting the magic circle, she also increased the casting distance of the magic circle.
It has to be said that this is indeed the most effective method she can think of now.
The biggest difference between a second-level mage and a third-level mage when using teleportation magic is the difference in magic power reserves.
The reserve of magic power also determines the distance of transmission.
Erica took a sip of potion and recovered some of her magic power, then she was able to barely release a teleportation array with a sufficient distance.
And now, she had reached the top of the volcano.
In front of us is the mountain pass.
The temperature on the top of the mountain was no longer within human reach. Erica had just stepped onto the ground when the scorching heat instantly made her dizzy.
If she hadn't used some anti-inflammatory magic in advance, she would have fainted instantly from the alarming temperature.
She patted her chest and looked at her feet, looking frightened.
She clasped her hands together, and a white magic circle began to rotate in her hands, with a hint of chill emanating from it.
She used magic on herself, barely keeping her body at a constant temperature.
After doing all this, Erica looked around.
There was nothing nearby.
Only the crater of the volcano looked as if it had just erupted, and the heated rocks around it were as red as red-hot iron.
Under the scorching heat, even the air became distorted.
Erica was eager to find some answers at the top of the mountain, but the scene after reaching the top was not what she expected.
The heat made her dizzy and the feeling of weakness spread throughout her body.
"No... maybe I need to leave here."
She still had enough magic power to support herself to cast the teleportation magic and leave. Even if she could only go down the mountain for a distance, it was better than just standing on the top of the mountain.
Her hands glowed faintly, and a magic circle took shape on her hands.
Suddenly, Erica's heart skipped a beat.
The magic circle that had just been formed dissipated in an instant.
A low, mournful wail came from the mouth of the volcano.
The pain seemed to be transmitted to Erica's heart, and she knelt on the ground in unbearable pain.
The high temperature of the ground also caused terrible burns on both knees.
"What... is going on..."
Erica uttered these few words with difficulty. She felt as if her heart was being strangled by something and was in great pain.
The wailing sound that only she could hear continued.
In a trance, the volcano began to shake, and a stream of magma burst out from the crater.
Looking at the slowly flowing red magma, Erica thought it was like blood spurting out of a volcano in pain.
And now, it is about to become the weapon that takes Erica's life.
Erica gritted her teeth.
Between life and death, she made a quick judgment.
The remaining magical power all poured out and turned into a barrier, isolating her from the flowing magma.
She didn't want to die yet, at least, she didn't want to die so unclearly and so miserably.
But the little magic she had left was not enough to support this barrier.
The magma penetrated into the barrier and was about to flow to Erica's legs.
Her body was shaking uncontrollably.
Almost the next second.
Within sight, a beam of white light seemed to burst out from the crater of the volcano.
Erica seemed to have forgotten the impending crisis, and her eyes were fixed on the white light at the crater of the volcano.
"What is that...?"
…
The mages and knights in the town of Sanchel and on the hillside of the volcano all noticed the violent movement of the volcano at this moment.
"This is a sign that the volcano is about to erupt!"
A wizard suddenly shouted, but everyone could see it now.
The lava erupting from the mountain pass is the most powerful proof.
All the third-level wizards had solemn expressions on their faces, standing on high alert, ready to instantly unleash this terrifying war magic at the command of Duke Levi.
Powerful war magic is enough to completely suppress this volcano!
Duke Levi was very confident. He was about to cast a spell and even planned to let Erica continue to supply him with magic.
"Erica, can you still hold on?"
He asked habitually, but no one answered him.
When Duke Levi looked back, Erica was nowhere to be seen.
"Erica!? Erica?"
Duke Levi was now anxious. He searched everywhere in the base but couldn't find Erica.
"Why are you gone at this time!?"
Duke Levi became anxious and uneasy. At this critical moment when he was about to activate the war magic, he disappeared.
If you run to the top of the volcano, it would be extremely dangerous.
Duke Levi was unwilling to believe that Erica was so reckless, so he could only continue searching halfway up the mountain.
All the wizards waiting to release magic were stunned. Why did Duke Levi suddenly stop the operation of the magic circle at this critical juncture?
Many third-level mages looked at Duke Levi and said anxiously:
"Your Excellency the Duke! If you don't activate the formation, the volcano will erupt completely!"
"It's too late!"
The Duke almost shouted at them:
"No! You must not activate the formation!"
"Your Excellency the Duke! What on earth is going on?"
Everyone was puzzled and could only ask quickly.
"Erica is missing!"
When Duke Levi told everyone the news, everyone was stunned.
If Erica was at the top of the mountain at this moment, then the moment the magic formation fell, she would probably be torn into pieces by the powerful magic pressure.
But if you don't cast magic.
The eruption of a volcano will evolve into a huge disaster.
Duke Levi's eyes were bloodshot at this moment.
If he had to make a choice, he would rather give up his own honor and status and even not save those innocent lives.
He also wants Erica back.
At this critical juncture, everyone was persuading Duke Levi.
Even if we can be one second ahead of the volcano, we can prevent the disaster from happening!
However, Duke Levi, the leader of magic, did not speak.
The magic circle will just stay there.
Suddenly, a beam of white light shot up into the sky, instantly bursting out from the crater of the volcano and soaring into the sky!
Everyone looked at the white light that tore through the dark clouds and illuminated the sky, and were attracted by this scene.
In an instant, the sky revealed its original appearance and illuminated the earth. The warm moonlight pierced through the haze and sprinkled on everyone's shocked faces.
Tick-tick-tick——!
Soon, raindrops jumped down from the sky one by one like elves after a disaster.
The rain poured down, hitting the top of the mountain and hitting the flowing lava.
As if by magic, it fell on Mount Vesuvius.
At this moment, the volcano lost all power.
The astonishing temperature dropped sharply.
The entire volcano is like high-temperature molten iron watered by a basin of clear water, emitting violent steam.
No one will feel hot anymore.
On the contrary, they shivered in the sudden heavy rain.
The flowing lava gradually solidified at this time, and the flints gradually turned into their original black color.
"…The eruption of Mount Vesuvius has been stopped?"
A wizard expressed the shock in the hearts of everyone present. The rain wet Duke Levi's hair. He squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky. No one knew what he was thinking, and his expression was extremely complicated.
Near the top of the mountain, Gwen felt the raindrops falling, looked up at the sky with bright moonlight, and breathed a sigh of relief.
She was very close to the white light and clearly felt the terrifying power.
The magma blocking the road has cooled by now.
She stood up, holding the silver sword, and with a firm mind, she rushed towards the top of the mountain.
…
Erica stood there in a daze, staring at the sky, her mind going blank for a moment.
When the magical power appeared, she was closest to it.
That is definitely not a magical power that humans can possess.
She knelt in the rain, closed her eyes, and let the rain soak her.
At this moment, no crisis exists.
Under that amazing magic, it seemed that all crises were completely resolved.
The eruption of Mount Vesuvius was like a wonderful joke played by God on everyone.
Its repeated jumping made everyone think it was about to erupt, and in the end, everyone was nervous and alert.
When the atmosphere reached its peak, the volcano subsided.
Its prank was successful and attracted everyone's attention.
Two lines of tears flowed from Erica's eyes, and even she herself couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears flowing down her face.
She was scared.
She almost died on this volcano.
It was so close that even her body couldn't be preserved.
She almost paid the price for her pride and arrogance...
The crying attracted a fire hedgehog. In this amazing rain, it exuded steam soaked by the rain, blending perfectly with the environment.
It showed its fangs.
The distance to Erica was very close. It only needed to burst out the strength of its legs and make a short sprint to bite off the opponent's throat.
Erica's magic power had been used up at this moment, and she was even mentally exhausted. She no longer had the ability to resist.
She just kept crying there, not knowing that danger was approaching.
The next second, the flaming hedgehog pounced towards her, letting out a terrifying cry.
Erica reacted, but her weakness did not allow her to resist.
She will die.
"dad..."
boom!!!
A fire snake as hot as magma brushed past Erica's cheek and hit the fire hedgehog.
All this happened in the blink of an eye, and the Flame Hedgehog was instantly reduced to ashes, without even a trace left.
Erica stood there in a daze. She forgot to cry and just stared at the scene.
But I heard a familiar voice behind me.
"I should have taught you."
"Master, always put your own safety first."
She turned her head sharply and saw Victor staggering.
"Professor! You..."
She was extremely surprised, but before she could say anything more, she suddenly saw amazing magma flowing on Victor's body.
The magma fell to the ground, cooled rapidly, and plumes of steam floated up.
The next second, Victor fainted and fell directly to the edge of the crater.
Erica was stunned. She quickly ran to Victor and reached out to touch his body.
"Hiss… it hurts."
Victor's body is so hot that just touching it will cause burns.
"Victor! What's wrong with you? Victor!"
She didn't care about the risk of severely burning her hands. She used up the last of her magic power and only put a thin layer of ice on her hands to help Victor up.
The heat made her hands hurt, but she tried her best to help Victor up regardless of her own safety.
The next second, Erica's burned legs could no longer withstand the pressure.
With a bang, both of them fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the temperature of the volcano has dropped completely, otherwise, the two of them would have been burned into meat patties.
In an instant, Erica felt resentful from the bottom of her heart and she began to hate herself.
I hate my own arrogance, and I hate my incompetence even more at this moment.
Everything I learned in the magic academy seemed to have become a burden.
But she stubbornly tried to help Victor up again and again, even though her whole body was burned by his temperature.
Erica hated her own weakness, but she would not regret reaching the top of the mountain.
If I wasn't there, who else would notice the seriously injured Victor?
He will definitely die here.
Erica tried again and again, getting up, falling down, getting up, and falling down.
Even though the distance she could move was barely two meters, she still continued.
Without magic power, you can only rely on your own body.
Victor saved her, so now, she has to save Victor too.
"Little girl."
An abrupt voice sounded in her ears, and Erica, who was struggling to help Victor up again, was suddenly stunned.
She looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.
But no matter how hard she looked, there was no one on the top of the mountain.
Only, standing at the crater, there was a one-eyed crow.
That is Victor's pet, and he is always with him.
Erica once fed it.
Suddenly, Erica's eyes widened.
No matter how hard the rain falls.
The crow's feathers never touched a drop of rain.
Its feathers seemed to be polished and smooth, and in this rain, it seemed to be a unique existence.
The one-eyed crow opened its ugly beak, and a blue light flashed under its single eye, revealing a sense of wisdom.
"Do you really want to save him?"
