The moment the gate opened, Victor felt it.
His expression sharpened as the air around them shifted.
The other professors sensed it too, their faces pale with realization.
"They did it…The demons… they're here."
Professor Aldric murmured.
Victor cracked his neck, stepping forward toward the barrier once more.
"Well then. I guess I should really get to work now."
He muttered, his golden eyes glowing.
The air around him crackled with power.
With a single motion, he placed his hand against the forcefield—
And shattered it.
A deafening boom rang out as the barrier collapsed, sending ripples of magic across the land.
The teachers gasped in shock, but Victor was already moving.
Without hesitation, he stepped into the dungeon.
"Victor—wait! What are you going to do?!"
Elara called after him.
Victor glanced back over his shoulder.
His usual smirk was gone.
His expression was cold.
