The waters of Padalenbu had been experiencing chaotic phenomena for an entire day.

The vast ocean continued to overturn violently while accumulated magma boiled in this tumultuous world. Layer upon layer of dark clouds shrouded the torrential rain, with wild air currents seemingly tearing apart the entire sky, gathering thicker and thicker as if about to collapse onto the ocean below.

Magma rose from the center of the ocean, forming towering black stone pillars that stretched into the clouds, as if supporting the faltering heavens above. Flames continuously poured from beneath Guledon's feet, endlessly rushing towards the black sea waves that were emanating from around Dozale's body.

A white misty vapor once again filled the arena enclosed by tree vines. Looking down from above, through the thick white mist, one could vaguely make out what appeared to be flames and giant waves of rain engaged in a fierce battle above the sea.

Guledon's crimson body was now marked with scarlet scars. Some of the magma on its body had hardened into obsidian, continuously falling off in fragments under the torrential rain, with pieces scattering onto the scorched earth below.

Dozale's body also flickered with several withered wounds. Blue fluorescence flowed into the ocean like blood, its breathing creating waves that crashed against the obsidian pillars with muffled booms.

Viktor squinted his eyes as he observed Dozale, whose body now bore several wounds. After an entire day of intense battle, its health had dropped by another 15%.

This was Dozale in its ocean domain - without leaving its home turf, it was absolutely invincible.

Of course, Viktor hadn't made his move yet.

At this moment, Dozale frantically thrashed its body. It stared at the top of Guledon's head, extremely enraged. After a day of offense and defense, Dozale finally realized - compared to Guledon, the more troublesome one was Viktor standing on top of it.

It submerged its body into the ocean, rapidly swimming beneath the cover of the downpour. The wind and rain suddenly became extremely chaotic, with waves gradually reversing from all directions and completely surging into the thick dark clouds.

The large raindrops gradually ceased, replaced by a terrifying thick water cannon. The water cannon, carrying horrifying ripples, burst down from the sky, shooting straight towards Viktor.

In that instant, the coat behind Viktor danced wildly as crimson patterns rapidly spread through the grooves in the fabric. The tail of the coat seemed to burst into wild flames, completely enveloping Viktor.

The next moment, Viktor raised his head, looking at the rapidly approaching water cannon, a fierce red glint flashing across his eyes:

[Fourth-tier Magic: Prison of the Blazing Phoenix]

The magic formation instantly materialized, immediately igniting countless rotating crimson arrays around Viktor. The arrays combined with each other as the patterns rapidly changed, slowly constructing a crimson phoenix in the center of the massive formation.

In this gloomy world, this huge crimson formation hung in the sky like a sun, completely consuming everything. The crimson patterns quickly began to bloom in the air, as if everything around Viktor had caught fire.

Countless raindrops continuously struck the high-temperature formation, rapidly turning into imperceptible water vapor before suddenly disappearing. The formation vanished, leaving only a sun-like flame barrier that completely isolated everything outside.

The flames continued to spread in the air, with countless sharp crimson energy strands swirling around Viktor. The terrifying high temperature had distorted space itself, the red magical flames illuminating heaven and earth, making even the ocean's ripples clearly visible.

Dozale, submerged in the ocean, sensed the extreme high temperature from above and roared out a massive whale cry.

"Wuhu—"

The next moment, the ocean instantly formed a giant vortex, rapidly spinning around Guledon. Dozale gradually revealed its ferocious face, seeming to brew a violent storm on the sea surface.

Heavy water cannons pierced through the rain curtain, violently pouring towards Viktor. However, upon contact with the protective barrier that descended like a red dome from the heavens, they all evaporated instantly like frost meeting heat.

Casting fire magic atop Guledon doubled its effectiveness. Those water cannons blocked outside weren't completely repelled, but rather regathered after being unwound. They came charging back in a purer energy form, straight at Viktor.

They crashed against the red protective barrier, bursting into a shower of brilliant sparks.

Bang!

Boom!

Violent air currents suddenly exploded from above, transforming into surging tides that rushed in all directions. The raging air currents struck the tree vines, causing the standing tree walls to sway unsteadily.

As the winds and waves calmed, the rain of fire gradually descended from the sky, those flame stars shining like starlight traced golden arcs across the night sky.

Viktor's gaze fell on Dozale as it surfaced, and he narrowed his eyes. He could see clearly now - Dozale intended to gather water elements to raise a storm and completely blow Guledon into the ocean.

Viktor raised his staff, suddenly drawing all the thousands of falling flames into his embrace. The crimson glow merged with the overwhelming ocean of magical power pressing down.

[Fourth-tier Magic: Sunset Rain of Fire]

The thousands of flames now transformed into a sky full of magma stars, pouring down along with the crazy rainstorm. Scorching flames mixed with steaming heat waves and storm rain rapidly struck Dozale's wound-covered body.

The moment they contacted Dozale, the originally azure ocean suddenly turned crimson, as if the entire space had been set ablaze. Explosions and air currents rapidly spun as terrifying power began to quickly detonate.

Faced with such powerful magic, Dozale immediately interrupted its gathering of water elements and dove back into the sea. Yet that nimble vortex didn't stop. The entire ocean spun at high speed, completely merging with the frenzied air currents.

As Dozale's figure gradually concealed itself, Viktor squinted his eyes, staring intently at one spot in the ocean. Above Dozale's head, its health bar had dropped by 20%.

And once a Disaster's health was attacked to this level, it meant...

"Wuwu——!!!"

From the deep sea came a shocking whale cry. Accompanied by an azure light shining from the seabed, two shocking beams of light spread out from the ocean floor.

Those were Dozale's eyes.

Countless azure stripes gradually covered its body, faintly glowing in the grooves of its body patterns. Its body became more elongated compared to before.

Then, its rapidly swimming body broke through the surface again, leaping into the air. That azure body was completely covered in countless flickering blue patterns. Gathered under those two giant lamp-like eyes, it looked quite imposing.

A terrifying pressure spread across the entire sea area as the surrounding rain and waves grew wild again. And this time, they would not cease.

Dozale's second phase.

[Source of Tides]

However, under this shocking pressure, Viktor merely looked calmly at the transformed Dozale. He smiled faintly:

"Not bad, but..."

He raised his staff, and in the next second, terrible patterns gradually formed behind that wild coat. The patterns rapidly spread as horrifyingly high-temperature fire elements began creeping towards Guledon's body.

"We have that too."

The moment those words fell, the obsidian on Guledon's body suddenly shattered into dust. The flames on its body gradually began to concentrate as crimson energy frantically collided together, transforming into complete magma.

Crimson patterns also began appearing on its body as terrifying magical power poured in. The vast scorched earth beneath its feet was also completely ignited, with scorching flames seeming to continuously spread outward, attempting to devour the entire ocean.

Above those dense clouds, a blazing sun seemed to break through, flashing with golden light. The two Disasters fully revealed all their power, with chaotic and overwhelming auras constantly colliding.

Heaven and earth lost color as all things fell silent. Waves frantically lifted the world while magma completely stilled the raging elements.

In the ocean, countless creatures felt panic. Even breathing while hiding in the seawater seemed to become an extremely difficult task.

"Viktor, that's about enough."

At this moment, Vega's voice sounded in Viktor's ear. Above its head, that drop of water gradually became dim and lightless. Yet just before, it had still appeared bright.

Hearing Vega's words, Viktor's crimson coat fluttered with wild heat waves behind him. Looking at Dozale suspended in the air, he calmly said:

"It seems your time is running short."

Almost as soon as those words fell, a brilliant blue light suddenly burst from Vega's eyes. At the same time, blue light also erupted from Viktor's eyes.

[Link Successful!]

Feeling the overwhelming magical power filling his body, Viktor raised his staff toward the sky.

"Hum——Hum——Hum——!!!"

Countless mysterious magic formations rose behind Viktor, and in the next second, that massive heterochromatic formation spanning hundreds of miles completely opened up.

Ten thousand patterns completely interwove together, forming a huge magical net that fully linked countless formations together. Numerous runes, like dense clusters of souls, gathered around Viktor.

The formation seemed to cover half the ocean, extremely terrifying. High temperature and scorching heat continuously rose around Viktor.

Amidst that disturbance, Viktor's voice slowly rang out:

"Sin of withered life, terrible existence of peaceful rain.

The world pours gloom into the sky, chaos and hatred transform into crimson roars, all things reverse as heaven and earth lose color.

Despair emerges here, and I exist here."

Terrifying magical power continuously gathered within Viktor's body, constantly overflowing with crimson magical power from that staff. Several heterochromatic formations were now completely inlaid with more exquisite formations.

This was formation within formation.

At this moment, it seemed as if everyone sensed something.

Erica and the crew looked up to see that shocking huge net woven in the sky. Levi, transformed into water flow, wandered in the water. At that moment, he sensed the shocking magical power coming from the sky.

Helnersen stopped his swimming motion, and at the same time, the mermaid councilor following behind him also stopped behind her.

She raised her head to look at the sky, suddenly widening her eyes.

"Wait, this, this is..."

"War Magic!?"

She had heard that the council recently admitted a new member - a madman who liked to frequently use war magic for indiscriminate bombardment!

Finally, the sky lost all its color. The earth also shook frantically as the entire ocean seemed to boil, completely raising white foam.

From above the bright sun burst a scorching flame, penetrating through the thick clouds, completely rushing towards the ocean.

Viktor looked toward Dozale, who was about to be enveloped in white light, speaking evenly:

"Well then, let's start with my favorite appetizer."
