The clear and pure sky had not a single cloud left, all of them had vanished like smoke.
Bright and glaring sunlight poured down over the deep blue sky, shining onto the already shattered white land, making it look especially dazzling.
A gentle breeze rolled across the ground, the wild grass swaying back and forth, moving with graceful and bright green figures.
Dust slowly rose from the white land, like a thin veil of mist, blurring the view.
The surging chaotic magic around them, after the deep black slash from the Goddess of Justice fell, had almost completely disappeared.
What remained around the floating island was orderly and softly flowing magic.
The former anger and chaos had been suppressed, and the entire Twilight Sky Domain returned to a peaceful atmosphere.
Ryan Kent looked confused as he watched Viktor silently put away the flashing black scale in his hand.
'What, you call that a magic material?'
That already went beyond the category of magic, didn't it?
He recalled it in shock.
He had never seen such a stunning spell, one that could even summon a deity.
Perhaps it could not simply be called "magic" anymore.
Compared to magic, it felt more like "the power of a god."
But at this moment, Ryan's thoughts were completely occupied by the grand scene of the Goddess of Justice descending, and that shocking slash that tore through chaos.
Ryan looked around at the already broken land and the picturesque blue sky.
If Viktor were not still standing in front of him, he might have thought he had already ascended to heaven.
He trembled as he stood up and asked Viktor curiously, "Vikto… Councilor Clavenna, how exactly did you do that?"
Of course, he meant the shocking magic that summoned the Goddess of Justice.
That power was truly unbelievable, seemingly boundless and immeasurable.
Viktor did not directly respond to Ryan's question.
In fact, that spell was still far from the true power of a real god.
Although it borrowed the power of the Goddess of Justice, it was only a trace of leftover divine power. Compared to the complete Goddess of Justice, the gap was countless times apart.
And to use that trace of divine power to summon even a residual image of the goddess required Vega's full assistance.
In short, it was still troublesome to use.
But its power was indeed not bad.
Viktor felt the rich magical aura around him, yet his heart remained extremely calm.
He looked into the distance, at the two floating objects in the air, and said, "There. The scales we need."
On that piece of off white floating rock, several pitch black and strangely shaped scales were bathing in the sunlight.
They flowed with dark luster, and within their irregular cracks ran chaotic purple patterns.
Floating beside the rock was a heart wrapped in a faint purple barrier.
The heart carried a sense of chaos, and its appearance looked like a tiny Chaos Dragon King sleeping within that barrier.
Viktor extended his palm. The two magical materials seemed to sense his magic power and slowly floated toward him, finally landing in his hand.
[Chaos Dragon Scale]
[Description: A powerful scale taken from the body of the Chaos Dragon King. The chaotic magic it contains is extremely dense and highly dangerous. An excellent material for forging weapons.]
[Chaos Dragon King's Gene]
[Description: A mysterious gene containing the power of an ancient dragon. It may be able to merge with an ancient dragon.]
Viktor calmly glanced at them and then put away the Chaos Dragon King's Gene.
To him, it was an extremely valuable item.
With it, the Yard Divine Tree could achieve another upgrade.
As for the other dragon scale, Viktor turned and handed it to Ryan.
Ryan was still a bit stunned, but he reached out and carefully received the dragon scale.
Then, to check it thoroughly, he used his white gloves to carefully polish his monocle.
He rubbed it repeatedly until it began to shine, then put it back on and examined the scale closely.
"Hmm… let me see!"
He studied the pitch black dragon scale, the purple patterns reflecting in his eyes behind the lens.
Ryan had touched dragon scales before. He had even killed a few true dragons himself.
But this was the first time he had touched such a special material.
The scale was uneven but not sharp. Instead, it felt like a strangely shaped gemstone.
Chaotic magic flowed within the patterns. When the scale rested in Ryan's palm, a drifting sense of disorder shook his hand.
He quickly traced the violent and cold scent drifting into his nose, as if it was pulling him back into that chaotic and terrifying environment again.
The patterns on the scale flashed rhythmically like a heartbeat.
That faintly warm "heart" resting in his palm trembled in waves, filling him with surprise and confusion.
'Could this thing really still be considered a dragon scale?'
At this moment, Ryan felt troubled.
If he wanted to use this to forge a staff, he did not even know how to integrate it.
As for the other item Viktor had put away, Ryan did not understand what it was at all.
Although it might have appeared together with the Chaos Dragon Scale inside the Chaos Dragon King's body, it was still his first time seeing the Chaos Dragon King killed.
Besides, it was Viktor's spoils of war. It was not his place to ask.
Now the Twilight Sky Domain beneath their feet was no longer dim. It was left with only dazzling white, like an ordinary floating island.
That made Ryan feel a little regretful.
He loved the diversity of environments. Even if it was full of danger, he did not wish to destroy it.
The meaning of everything's existence lay in its existence.
Ryan always told himself that.
Even when he needed materials to craft items, he would try his best to avoid damaging the environment while collecting them.
Once the environment recovered and new materials appeared again, he would set out once more to find them.
He enjoyed this way of not completely wiping out any material source.
For this friendly attitude toward the environment, Ryan felt very satisfied.
However, the magical creatures of the Twilight Sky Domain had been completely destroyed because of this.
Thinking of this, Ryan's heart sank, feeling a bit lost.
He shook his head and let out a long sigh.
It was also normal. After all, he was the one who made the request first, and that was why Viktor had cast several war level spells in a row.
Viktor's strength had already deeply impressed him.
In short, this time, Ryan was completely satisfied.
Viktor glanced at Ryan, as if he had long expected this reaction, and said, "The Chaos Dragon King will regenerate."
Ryan listened to Viktor's words with a blank expression.
'Huh?'
He did not really know what the Chaos Dragon King was.
From the beginning, he had simply thought it was just a true dragon.
Viktor's voice sounded in the quiet air.
"This chaotic magic will continuously accumulate in space, and eventually condense into a physical form on this floating island."
The chaotic magic would gather and form a new Twilight Sky Domain. Then the Chaos Dragon King would gradually take shape within the overflowing magic until it was fully reborn.
The Chaos Dragon King Viktor had dealt with had absorbed chaotic magic for far too long.
So much that the chaos within its body had accumulated over endless years, and its power had grown stronger and stronger.
That was why the Twilight Sky Domain looked so dangerous and chaotic.
In fact, if the City of Mages had regularly sent people to handle the accumulated magic here, the Chaos Dragon King would never have become so powerful.
However, Haim Horn had never noticed that the Twilight Sky Domain contained overly dangerous factors, and the Chaos Dragon King had never left the floating island.
So the issue of magic accumulation had never been handled.
As a result, the Chaos Dragon King's strength accumulated day by day, eventually developing into one of Endymion's famous dungeons, the Twilight Sky Domain.
The more Ryan listened, the more confused he became.
He felt it was strange. 'How did Viktor know such detailed information?'
The more he listened, the more curious he became about how Viktor knew so much.
It was as if he had killed this Chaos Dragon King more than once.
He seemed completely familiar with this island and the giant dragon.
But no one answered his doubts.
Viktor glanced at the position of the sun and said, "About time. We need to prepare the other materials."
Ryan frowned, confused.
'Other materials…'
He remembered that to make the staff, besides the dragon scale, they also needed Magic Vein Dragon Blood, Blazing Lava Rock, and Hurricane Steel.
Magic Vein Dragon Blood was fine. It was just blood from a fourth tier magic dragon or above, and he had some himself.
As for the remaining materials, the requirements were far too harsh.
To find a volcano that was currently erupting, and a raging typhoon.
And obtain the hardest lava and steel from within them.
Just thinking about it sounded unbelievable.
At that moment...
The windbreaker behind Viktor gradually became covered with lines of flame, like a mass of blazing fire.
White heat spread through the air, and flames leapt wildly around them.
Under his feet, even the surrounding land seemed to be wrapped in red streaks.
The air gradually became scorching, making Ryan Kent feel absolute shock.
Then, cloud white patterns slowly climbed onto Viktor's windbreaker as well.
In that instant, the wind stopped.
As if brewing some extremely terrifying power, the clouds in the sky gradually thickened.
A violent wind began to rise.
Within this raging environment, Viktor still stood with both hands in his pockets.
As if completely unaffected by the surroundings, his voice calm and clear, "First step."
"We use what's right here."
