Chapter 21: The Duke's Daughter is Awesome
The magicians summoned from the capital gathered at the foot of the volcano and surrounded it in a circle.
The magicians raised their arms and connected their bursting magical power, gradually forming a huge magic array encircling the volcano.
Shimmering lights stretched magnificently for hundreds of miles.
Many magical steel nails affixed to the volcano were affected by the magic array, and the magical chains attached began to clank and penetrate deeper into the volcano.
Runes were carved onto the array, making the enormous formation increasingly dense, spreading endlessly towards hundreds of miles away.
Second order magicians stood below the third order magicians, continuously supplying them with magical power.
Until the first batch of second order magicians were exhausted, the second batch took over.
After the earliest batch of second order magicians had rested, they got back on the field, round after round.
Over a dozen third order magicians concentrated and began chanting towards the center of the array:
God of the Abyss weep! Gather the cold of the world!
Merciful Yellow God plead! Sing the tears of the underworld!

Although Erika was the Dukes daughter, she would not receive any special treatment.
She was also assigned to the ranks of second order magicians.
After the knights evacuated the civilians, they guarded nearby to protect the magicians from disturbance.
Magic attracts monsters, so they stood guard around the magicians, killing any monsters that approached.
The longer this magic array covers the entire Mount Vesuvius, the more powerful the effects will be.
As a third order magician, Duke Rivierre was doing his utmost to maintain the array, hoping this volcanos eruption could be delayed a little longer.
If this grand array could be maintained for a full day, it would definitely be able to completely block the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
And so it continued for an hour, the previous batch of second order magicians came down the mountain, replaced by the next batch.
Erica was among this batch of magicians, standing behind Duke Rivierre, she began chanting softly, channeling her power to her father.
While chanting spells and drawing the array, Duke Rivierre kept an eye on Erikas every move.
Seeing Erika hold her own, he felt somewhat gratified in his heart.
Erika, youve grown up.
The second batch of magicians came down, and the third batch was about to go up, but Erika did not come down.
She secretly drank a blue potion bought from Lia, and instantly felt her mental strength replenished.
Duke Rivierre saw Erika continuing on, somewhat surprised, and also very happy.
I didnt expect Erika to have so much mental fortitude.
At her age, I was far from comparable to her.
After another hour, the third batch of magicians came down. The fourth batch of magicians had already gone up.
Erika still stood in the array, continuing to channel power to Duke Rivierre.
She secretly drank another potion, her spirit fully restored again.
If Duke Rivierre was just surprised earlier, now he was completely shocked!
Erikas talent is actually so terrifying!?
Her astonishing mental reserves have surpassed many third order magicians already.
As Erikas father, he only just realized now how powerful his daughter was!
Soon, the fourth batch of magicians also exhausted their power and gradually came down to rest.
Erika secretly drank another potion and kept supplying power.
The raindrops hit rocks near the crater, causing them to shatter like bombs on impact.
All the mages and knights became alert. The mages immediately drew up temporary magic circles to deal with the crisis, while the knights used magic tools on their armor and silver swords.
Could the volcano erupt now?
Suddenly, a voice rang in Ericas heart:
It hurts, it hurts so much
That voice again! What on earth is happening?
She could clearly hear the voice coming from the top of the volcano. She really wanted to go up and take a look.
Moreover, maybeProfessor Victor was there!
Erica remembered the mages slandering Professor Victor.
She didnt want to see Victor as the culprit behind the volcano eruption.
But in this situation, anyone would suspect Victor.
The missing Victor, and the soon-to-erupt volcano.
No, I have to find a way to get to the crater!
Thinking so, Erica noticed the knight brigade guarding the magic circle nearby.
It was the only female in the knight brigade,
She was very beautiful, the second most beautiful woman Erica had seen after her mother.
The first was the lady at Clayvins shop.
Completely different from that ladys temperament, she was like a knight walking out of the ice, with a cold aura that made people feel distant.
Stay away, stranger.
Erica had heard that this knight was the current leader of the Royal Knights Brigade Gwen.
She planned to find this lady and ask her to let her out.
If I just tell her I want to go to the crater, she definitely wont agree.
Erica paced around and thought. Suddenly an idea popped into her head.
She rushed to Gwen anxiously, as she wished, her behavior drew the others attention.
Excuse me, Sister Knight, I need to use the restroom. Can you let me leave for a moment?
No.
Gwen rejected decisively.
I must ensure the safety of all of you here. Please bear with it, Miss Erica.
Hmph Cold and rigid knight, only knows how to follow orders.
Erica grumbled and went back sullenly.
But she became more and more anxious.
The voice from the peak, the missing Victor, everything seemed to be reminding her of something.
She must leave this place and head to the top!
At this moment, Duke Rivierre suddenly appeared next to her and patted her shoulder.
Eek!
Ericas body shuddered, like a startled little bunny.
Duke Rivierre said solemnly:
Dear, give me an explanation.
