Arthur’s eyes widened slightly.

"Not good," he said sharply. "Protect him immediately."

The Legendary Rank awakeners who were preparing to descend paused instantly afterward.

However, Victor merely laughed loudly while raising both hands toward the sky.

"Hahahaha! Come on!"

Two more of those horrifying spells appeared above his palms instantly.

The surrounding awakeners almost felt their scalps explode from fear.

He created those monstrosities again so casually that it looked completely absurd.

Victor threw both spells directly toward the charging monster armies.

BOOOOOOM!

Another pair of catastrophic explosions erupted across the battlefield.

Entire formations disappeared instantly.

This time, even many surviving Adept Rank monsters from the previous attack were annihilated completely.

Panic finally spread among the monsters. Nothing could stop those attacks.

Defensive barriers collapsed uselessly.

Water shields evaporated instantly.

Earth walls shattered apart.

Even the Elite monsters could only barely survive the outer shockwaves.

Victor continued laughing loudly amidst the destruction while creating more spells continuously.

"Hahahaha!"

"Begone, you filthy bastards!"

Another pair of catastrophic elemental storms formed instantly.

Then another.

And another.

Victor threw them toward every major monster group without pause.

The battlefield transformed into pure devastation.

Gigantic explosions erupted everywhere continuously while monster corpses rained from the sky like broken debris. Entire sections of the tide vanished repeatedly under Victor’s bombardment.

At one point, Victor casually took out several mana potions and pretended to drink them rapidly.

In reality, he merely stored them secretly inside a hidden space ring within his mouth.

External mana sources were extremely harmful.

If he actually consumed mana potions continuously at this level, his physical body would collapse quickly from mana poisoning. However, Victor’s infinite mana trait generated naturally replenishing mana far gentler than ordinary external sources.

That was why he could continue using these catastrophic spells almost endlessly.

A bizarre scene gradually appeared across the battlefield.

One Apprentice Rank mage was now suppressing the entire tide almost single handedly which even elite rank awakeners were having hard time with.

And he was doing it while looking completely relaxed.

The surrounding human awakeners stared at him like they were witnessing an actual monster disguised as a human being.

Victor suddenly turned his head toward the stunned academy geniuses nearby and roared loudly.

"What are you fools staring at?"

"Go deal with those Elite monsters!"

"Do not expect an Apprentice Rank mage to kill everything for you!"

His words instantly snapped everyone out of their daze.

Several geniuses almost coughed blood internally afterward.

"Now he remembers he is only an Apprentice Rank awakener?"

"Where were those thoughts when he vaporized entire armies of Adept monsters?"

Even some humans quietly felt sympathy for the monsters forced to face Victor’s horrifying spells.

However, nobody wasted time further.

The shattered monster formations had completely collapsed into chaos now.

Human awakeners charged forward once again with renewed morale.

The academy geniuses especially fought like starving beasts now.

None of them wanted to appear inferior after Victor’s overwhelming display.

A spear genius pierced through an Elite Rank monster’s skull directly. The assassin prodigy slaughtered weakened commanders continuously while mages unleashed devastating attacks into the disrupted formations.

Above the battlefield, Elyndros burst into loud laughter.

"Hahahaha! I knew this bastard was holding back!"

"He actually had confidence backing his arrogance!"

Even the other Sages visibly relaxed afterward.

Before Victor intervened, humanity’s situation had already started becoming dangerous. If the organized tide continued suppressing them further, the Sages themselves might have been forced to enter battle much earlier than planned.

But Victor completely overturned the battlefield alone.

Human morale skyrocketed instantly afterward.

Meanwhile, countless ordinary humans watching the battle through worldwide broadcasts erupted into celebration.

"I knew he was special!"

"Why else would the Sages treat him differently?"

"He is a monster!"

Ironically, many of the same people insulting Victor earlier for refusing to bow before the Sages were now cheering his name loudly from their homes.

Two hours passed rapidly afterward.

The second tide had already been completely suppressed.

Monster corpses covered the battlefield endlessly while the remaining surviving beasts retreated toward the distant ocean.

However, nobody paid attention to the retreating monsters anymore.

Every single gaze on the battlefield remained focused on Victor.

Because throughout the entire battle, he had seemingly consumed hundreds of mana potions continuously while unleashing catastrophic spells nonstop.

And yet he still looked completely fresh.

Not even a drop of sweat could be seen on his face.

At that moment, countless people felt the same thought appear inside their minds simultaneously.

Compared to Victor, the monsters no longer seemed like the true nightmare on this battlefield.

Suddenly a terrifying roar suddenly shook the entire battlefield.

The sound carried enough force to distort the air itself. Countless weaker awakeners felt blood leak from their ears while several apprentice rank soldiers collapsed directly onto the ground from pressure alone.

The expressions of the Sages changed instantly.

Far away beyond the endless ocean tide, a colossal shadow slowly emerged from beneath the water. Mountains of seawater rose into the sky around its body while violent mana storms spiraled across the heavens.

An S Rank monster had finally arrived.

At that exact moment, the atmosphere of the battlefield changed completely.

New presences began appearing throughout the monster army one after another. Vast auras descended like natural disasters while horrifying pressure spread across the battlefield continuously.

B Rank monsters.

A Rank monsters.

Equivalent to Legendary and Epic Rank awakeners.

The weaker awakeners immediately felt despair rising inside their hearts.

"So soon?" Lyria muttered with visible confusion.

However, her expression soon darkened in understanding.

Her eyes shifted toward Diana standing nearby.

"That lover of yours almost overturned the entire battlefield alone," she said teasingly. "What will you do now?"

Diana’s face instantly reddened slightly.

"Please do not joke around, Lady Lyria," she replied seriously.

Then her expression turned solemn.

"I have a bad feeling about this battle. Something is very wrong."

The surrounding Sages immediately became serious.

Diana rarely spoke carelessly.

When someone of her level sensed danger, nobody could afford to ignore it.

"Please order the Suicide Squads to prepare for deployment," Diana said coldly. "We must conserve our strength as long as possible."

Several Sages inhaled sharply afterward.

Even Arthur’s face darkened.

"You truly believe the Suicide Squads are necessary already?" he asked grimly.

"I do," Diana answered without hesitation. "And summon the top three teams as well. They will likely be needed."

Arthur stared silently toward the incoming monster tide for several moments.

Then he turned toward his chief officer immediately.

"Do as Sage Diana instructed," he ordered. "Tell them to prepare for battle."

The officer vanished instantly afterward.

Meanwhile below, Victor also sensed the battlefield changing rapidly.

Enormous pressures descended continuously from humanity’s side. The air itself seemed heavier while terrifying mana fluctuations spread throughout the frontlines.

Then new figures began appearing at the battlefield’s front.

Humans wearing massive battle armors stepped forward calmly. Some carried gigantic weapons while others radiated pure elemental energy powerful enough to distort space around them.

Victor recognized them immediately.

Legendary awakeners.

Epic awakeners.

Humanity’s true military backbone.

One man slowly walked toward the battlefield center while wearing black battle armor decorated with silver dragon patterns. His handsome face remained calm despite the overwhelming situation.

The moment ordinary soldiers saw him, countless people immediately revealed expressions of admiration.

He was the strongest Epic Rank warrior in Ethereum. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The army’s supreme general, Alexander Bell.

A genuine hero worshipped throughout the Federation.
