Luke’s face instantly turned pale after sensing the horrifying aura erupting from the newly formed chimera.

His hands trembled uncontrollably while cold sweat formed across his forehead. Even the experienced vice commander felt genuine terror crawling up his spine.

"No... no... no. How is this possible?" he muttered hoarsely.

The soldiers across the defensive camp revealed similar expressions.

Despair rapidly spread throughout the battlefield.

Everyone understood exactly what an A Rank monster represented. Such creatures were walking disasters capable of destroying entire military divisions alone. Even heavily fortified cities could fall if proper reinforcements failed to arrive in time.

More importantly, Victor himself had previously requested Epic Rank support if an emergency situation appeared.

That single fact terrified them the most.

If Victor had specifically requested support against Epic Rank threats, then it meant even he recognized limits to his own strength.

Which meant he should not have been capable of fighting an A Rank monster alone.

A captain nearby suddenly grabbed Luke’s arm desperately.

"Vice Commander, please contact Sir William immediately," he said with a trembling voice.

Luke nodded quickly.

"I already informed him the moment the monster transformed. However, he still needs approximately two minutes to arrive here."

"Two minutes?" another captain whispered blankly.

Then his face lost all color.

"No..."

The man collapsed onto the ground in despair.

Two minutes sounded incredibly short during ordinary situations. However, against an A Rank creature, two minutes could determine the destruction of the entire battlefield.

Meanwhile, the three headed chimera slowly stepped forward.

Boom.

The ground cracked beneath its enormous claws.

Black energy continuously leaked from its body while the surrounding mana became violently corrupted. Even the air itself seemed unable to withstand the pressure radiating from the creature.

The soldiers instinctively retreated several steps backward.

Some weaker individuals even began coughing blood from the overwhelming aura alone.

However, Victor remained standing calmly.

His purple eyes quietly stared at the chimera while countless thoughts flashed through his mind rapidly.

Then suddenly, he raised one hand.

An immense pressure erupted from his body.

Boom!

The atmosphere around Victor distorted violently as dark purple energy gathered above his palm.

A strange sphere slowly formed there.

The surrounding soldiers widened their eyes in disbelief.

"What element is that?"

"I have never seen anything like it before."

"It feels wrong..."

The dark purple sphere radiated an indescribable pressure. It did not resemble fire, lightning, darkness, or any ordinary elemental power known within the world.

Some soldiers remembered seeing Victor merge elemental spells before.

Perhaps this was another fusion spell.

However, this time felt completely different.

Within a hundred meter radius around Victor, the surrounding air began cracking violently. Space itself appeared distorted as black fractures spread briefly through the atmosphere before repairing themselves again.

The scene looked terrifying.

Unknown to the soldiers, Chaos Element did not belong to this world.

It was an existence fundamentally rejected by the laws of reality itself. The natural space around Victor continuously attempted to erase the chaotic energy leaking from the sphere.

Victor’s expression gradually turned colder.

His instincts continuously warned him something was wrong.

The timing of this mutation was too suspicious.

Humans were involved. His sixth sense was telling him that those hooded figures were involved.

Victor never ignored his instincts.

That was exactly why genuine killing intent finally appeared within his eyes.

"Die," he roared coldly.

The next instant, lightning exploded across the battlefield once more.

Crack!

Crack!

Violent thunder echoed throughout the sky as another gigantic lightning eagle formed above Victor.

However, this time was completely different.

Victor directly infused Chaos Element into the spell.

The eagle instantly transformed.

The previous purple lightning rapidly darkened into a terrifying dark violet color. Chaotic energy flowed throughout the eagle’s enormous body like living destruction itself.

Then the pressure changed completely.

Until now, the lightning eagle had merely radiated Legendary Rank pressure.

But now—

Boom!

A horrifying shockwave erupted across the battlefield.

The soldiers behind Victor nearly collapsed instantly from the pressure alone. Even the ground beneath their feet shattered violently while countless cracks spread across the defensive walls.

The expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

Because the aura erupting from the eagle had surpassed the Legendary Realm completely.

Chaos Element amplified the spell’s destructive power nearly one hundred times over.

And an Epic Rank existence was approximately thirty five times stronger than an ordinary Legendary Rank being.

Which meant Victor’s current spell had forcefully stepped into the realm of Epic magic.

The battlefield became deathly silent.

Even the three headed chimera froze instinctively.

Earlier, the creature had radiated arrogant confidence after evolving into an A Rank monster. Its crimson eyes overflowed with violent dominance.

Now fear appeared inside those same eyes.

Meanwhile, far away within the wilderness, the hooded figures observing the battle revealed horrified expressions.

One of them stepped backward unconsciously.

"What kind of monstrosity is this bastard?" he shouted.

"This is unfair!"

Another figure cursed violently while staring at the enormous eagle in terror.

"That aura should not exist in a Novice Rank mage."

However, before they could react further, the eagle moved.

Boom!

The gigantic dark violet eagle instantly disappeared from its previous location.

Its speed surpassed sound itself.

The chimera barely managed to react before the eagle arrived directly in front of it.

Awoo!

The chimera released a terrified whimper.

The enormous monster that previously radiated overwhelming pressure now resembled a frightened puppy facing certain death.

Its survival instincts completely overwhelmed its pride.

The chimera immediately turned around and began fleeing toward the wilderness.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The eagle was far faster.

Victor calmly lowered his hand afterward.

Then the eagle attacked.

Boom!

The collision resembled divine punishment descending upon the earth.

Dark violet lightning exploded across the battlefield while chaotic energy devoured everything nearby. Mountains in the distance shattered from the impact shockwave alone.

The chimera screamed painfully.

Its three heads desperately unleashed dark elemental attacks while trying to resist.

However, resistance proved meaningless.

The moment the eagle pierced through the chimera’s body, the monster instantly began disintegrating.

Not burning.

Not exploding. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Disintegrating.

Its flesh, bones, mana, and even life force were completely erased by the chaotic lightning.

Within seconds, the enormous A Rank chimera vanished entirely from existence.

Nothing remained behind.

Silence descended afterward.

The battlefield became completely frozen.

Every soldier stared blankly at the empty sky while their minds struggled to process what they had just witnessed.

An A Rank monster had died instantly.

Not defeated.

Not suppressed.

Instantly erased.

Victor slowly exhaled afterward before sitting down heavily on the ground.

Until now, adrenaline had continuously pushed his body forward.

Even though his Chaos Grade Mana Circuit had significantly improved his endurance, forcing Chaos Element into a Legendary Rank spell still placed enormous stress upon his body.

Pain immediately surged throughout every muscle and mana pathway within him.

Victor quietly gritted his teeth.

Blood slowly trickled from the corner of his lips afterward.

The soldiers immediately rushed toward him in panic.

"Commander!"

"Are you injured?"

"Call the medical team immediately!"

However, before anyone could approach him closely, another immense aura suddenly descended from the sky.

Boom!

A powerful pressure spread throughout the battlefield.

Then a man carrying a massive sword appeared in the air above the camp.

It was Sir William.

The Epic Rank swordsman stared toward the destroyed battlefield with disbelief visible across his face. His gaze slowly moved toward the empty location where the chimera previously stood.

Then he looked toward Victor.

"You just killed an A Rank monster?" William asked slowly.

For the first time in years, slight trembling appeared within the swordsman’s voice.

Victor did not answer immediately.

Instead, he calmly wiped the blood from his mouth before looking toward the distant wilderness.

"Go there," Victor said coldly.

William frowned slightly.

"Search for traces of black hooded figures. I am certain they are connected to this mutation."

William’s expression instantly turned icy.

The existence of humans capable of artificially creating A Rank monsters represented an unimaginable threat.

Without asking another question, William immediately disappeared toward the wilderness like a streak of light.

Meanwhile, Victor finally relaxed slightly afterward.

The soldiers surrounding him still stared at him with expressions filled with awe, fear, and disbelief.

Today, they had witnessed something impossible again.

A Novice Rank mage had erased an A Rank monster completely alone.

That kind of achievement sounded absurd even in legends.

Victor ignored their gazes.

Instead, he slowly took out his communicator.

The screen flickered briefly before connecting.

"Diana," Victor said tiredly.

"Can you meet me today? I need a favor."

After speaking, Victor finally lay down directly on the ground motionlessly.
