...

Erica stood beneath the crimson blood moon, allowing the fierce wind and snow to cut across her cheeks.

She stared blankly at the towering red demon, which seemed to have gone mad, tearing open a rift in the gloomy sky and brutally tormenting the two giants as tall as small mountains.

In its hands, the two giants were like mere insects, being toyed with back and forth.

Until they were torn to pieces.

The red demon held the huge, blood-dripping bodies in both hands, letting out a victorious roar to the sky.

That posture was as if it was showing off to people, flaunting its strength and cruelty.

Several visions flashed through Erica's eyes.

She touched her slightly hot forehead, feeling a bit dazed.

She understood the terror of demons better than anyone else.

Because she had once faced such an existence.

Almost powerless to resist.

At the moment the demon appeared, she had also felt confused.

Why would a demon appear here?

Like Gwen, Erica unconsciously associated the demon incident that occurred on the back mountain of the academy with Viktor.

She clearly remembered that the terrifying existence of the Greed Demon, like a black mountain, had appeared on Henie's body.

Henie was Viktor's teaching assistant.

Since she fell into a coma, she had only heard about the aftermath of those events through hearsay.

No one mentioned Henie in that demon battle; instead, the one they mentioned most was actually that pig-headed professor from the Reiser family.

Devin Reiser was described as the vessel for the demon in that incident.

She had been confused before, as the person possessed by the demon was clearly Henie.

Yet no one mentioned her name.

Behind this incident, it was as if there was a hand controlling everything, arbitrarily shifting the focus of the event.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Erica's mind, making her instinctively look for Viktor.

While others were cheering for the demon that had destroyed the two giants, only she looked towards that farthest point.

Those two figures.

Erica's pupils contracted slightly.

She was very familiar with that figure and could not mistake it.

Professor Viktor.

Was the person in his arms Knight Commander Gwen?

Erica watched as Gwen lay in Viktor's arms, the two in an intimate pose.

"..."

What exactly were the two of them doing?

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared before her eyes, and her attention seemed to be forcibly shifted to Viktor's shoulder.

A crow's single eye flickered with blue light, turning its head to stare intently at Erica.

As if guided by the eerie blue light, Erica involuntarily fixed her gaze on the crow.

Suddenly, an extremely violent aura came towards her.

It blew her golden hair, dancing irregularly on this snow plain.

In her eyes, it was as if invaded by a strange scene.

The snow plain under the red moon began to become unstable, starting to tremble like the surface of a rippling mirror lake.

In the blink of an eye, a pure white scene jumped out before her eyes.

At this moment, she was standing on a cloud, with several towering pillars rising from the boundless white.

A golden sun hung in the far sky, its warm essence shining on Erica, as if she had instantly left the snow plain.

A huge white temple slowly appeared from among the giant pillars, and an extremely large bird constantly flapped its wings in the azure sky, circling around the temple.

The huge airflow lifted Erica from the clouds, constantly rotating her in the vast space, flying freely.

As if in an instant, freedom was grasped in her hands.

Clear power gradually merged into Erica's body.

Under her golden eyes, a white rune slowly appeared, a rune symbolizing wind.

Inheritance—

A lightning bolt suddenly flashed through Erica's mind, and this word appeared subconsciously.

In her daze, she saw that black crow, feeling her light body.

And the crow's mocking laughter gradually began to echo in her ears.

"It's this power again."

Erica was a bit confused.

She still remembered that in her dream, this self-proclaimed evil god had given her that inherited power.

And this time, it was wind.

Erica slowly stretched out a hand, as if testing, gradually mobilizing the wind elements within her body.

Without needing to engrave runes or formations, a powerful airflow instantly gathered from all directions, constantly swirling in her palm.

Divine power of wind.

When she raised her head again, trying to look at the crow,

Erica was slightly stunned, and Viktor had already turned his head back:

"They're not wrong, I did cripple Angus and his heir with my own hands."

Hearing Viktor state the facts, Erica suddenly became very excited.

"They deserved it!"

Staying here for a few days, she also knew how infuriating the actions of those Northern Border knights were.

However, from a certain perspective.

No one could find fault with Angus.

He did indeed fulfill the task of guarding the Northern Frontier, preventing the barbarians from attacking the empire's northern border.

As for those people close to the northern border?

Who told you to live in such a dangerous place?

Erica could even recall the ugly and contemptuous faces of those nobles when the lives of the people in the northernmost border were threatened and they sought help from the capital.

If they had the ability to leave the Northern Frontier, who would be willing to stay in this godforsaken and deprived place?

They were just talking without experiencing it themselves.

Erica always believed that Viktor had done nothing wrong, even if he was wanted by all the knights of the Northern Frontier.

"Is that so."

She couldn't see Viktor's face, but she could hear a faint smile in Viktor's tone.

"But even so, they still stay comfortably in the Northern Frontier, living a carefree life."

"The barbarians have been completely eliminated, whose head will this merit fall on?"

Erica was stunned.

The existence of the Pale Mage Association was not decided by the royal family.

The group that was officially in charge of guarding the Northern Frontier was still those do-nothing Northern Frontier knights.

Under Angus's influence, the nobles in the capital naturally prioritized believing the Northern Border knights.

This was also inevitable.

Even if Angus's actions of ignoring the people's pleas for help were exposed, he had not failed in his duties according to the law and his responsibilities.

Even if the emperor looked down on him, he couldn't arrest Angus for this reason.

Moreover, Angus had also once been the emperor's subordinate.

That old emperor who valued old relationships wouldn't strip Angus of his position for such a reason.

Then, where could they find a powerful reason that could convict Angus?

Suddenly, Erica thought of something and stood there stunned.

"...Demon?"

The demon, carrying all the anger of the people of the Northern Frontier, incarnated on the ice plain, eliminating all the barbarians.

Then where did this anger of the Northern Frontier people come from?

It wasn't just those barbarians.

There were also those Northern Border knights who did nothing at all.

But, would the nobles really believe that the demon appeared because of Angus?

At this moment, Erica blankly thought of the conversation between the evil god and the demon.

"Professor, so that demon, is it actually because you..."

"Keep it a secret for me."

Viktor's voice was faintly hidden in the heavy snow.

Suddenly, on the snow cliff, a howling gale suddenly blew, making it difficult for Erica to keep her eyes open.

She tried to control the wind elements in her body to stop the wind and snow, but it was ultimately futile.

"What's going on..."

Suddenly, a white rune slowly lit up on Viktor's windbreaker collar.

In Erica's gaze, a white mist slowly formed around Viktor.

Within the mist, the shadow of a creature seemed to take shape.

It was a white giant bird.

It soared in the sky, flying in the sky full of falling feathers, like the king of the sky.

At some point, Viktor was already standing on the giant bird.

Erica widened her eyes, watching the giant bird stirring up violent whirlwinds.

The gale rose, and in the blink of an eye.

It penetrated the pale clouds, with the violent airflow carrying thick air currents.

Disappearing from Erica's sight.

She stood alone on the snow cliff, watching Viktor's departure.

Lost in thought for a long time.
