The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

The emergence of heroes is often accompanied by time constraints.

The time limit for Heroic Moment is three minutes.

Three minutes later, the power will be completely stripped from the user, the body will rapidly decay, and lifespan will quickly pass.

This is the price of being a hero.

Given Victor's age, if Heroic Moment were activated, his lifespan would likely be reduced to zero on the spot once the effect ended.

In other words, death.

But now, Victor and Shuna have been driven to the brink of despair and have no other choice.

He took off the badge from his collar, a badge he had worn since childhood, and clutched it tightly in his hand.

The next instant, a dazzling light burst forth from the badge!

The world created by the value of time is completely submerged in brilliance in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, Victor saw his entire life!

Children and their mothers play and frolic in the forest.

"Victor~ Mommy's here!"

The father and the boy practiced their swordsmanship continuously in the manor.

"Hey, Victor! Swing your sword hard, you can do it!"

The young man and his magic instructor were learning how to cast spells on the playground.

“Victor, your magical talent is very poor. Perhaps the theoretical approach is your only way out.”

Late at night, the young man, unwilling to accept the injustice of fate, repeatedly unleashed magic on the deserted playground.

"Why should I! I want to fight too! I want to become an excellent mage too! I don't want to be some kind of theorist!"

In a dark corner, the young man was beaten black and blue by teenagers much younger than himself.

At that moment, he realized the reality and felt only sorrow.

"Why! Why is God so unfair to me?!"

"Is there really no way out through hard work alone?!"

The ideals of youth gradually fade away, leaving only aimless living.

Finally, the youth turned into middle age, his hair turned white, and his body became hunched.

The mother lay on the hospital bed, gently stroking Victor's wrinkled face.

“Victor... from the moment you were born, you will always be my hero…”

A fierce flame blazed in Victor's eyes!

This flame is enough to devour everything!

The hero's power continuously converged in his withered body, giving him the energy to be reborn.

"I am Victor!"

"I dream of becoming a hero!"

"A hero who protects the good from the harm of the bad!"

"to this end!"

"I am willing to give everything!"

The childish vows transformed into boundless energy.

Flames shot up into the sky!

At this moment, all seven magic circuits within his body erupted simultaneously!

The eighth magic circuit was formed under the scorching heat of the flames!

The scorching heat even forced the Heart Eater, which had already hidden itself, to come out!

He didn't understand what the old man with the white beard had done!

With a sharp crack, the world began to split open.

The Heart Eater was startled; if it didn't do something, the value of its time would be shattered in the next second!

He hurriedly activated his magic, attempting to manipulate the value of time.

However, the power of the flames erupted from Victor's body first!

The world has completely collapsed!

Countless watch faces shattered into countless magical fragments, which dissipated in the cold wind.

The world has recovered once again.

Amidst this boundless magic, Victor, in his thirties, stood tall in the snowstorm, cradling the unconscious Shuna in his arms.

Flames burned all over its body.

Not a trace of coldness could penetrate this heatwave and reach the woman in his arms.

The value of time has been utterly destroyed and cannot be repaired.

For the first time, the Heart Eater showed a look of terror.

Impossible... This is impossible!

Despite the Heart Eater's repeated denials, the magic within Victor relentlessly tore apart his reason.

Eight circuits, made by the Great Element.

How is it possible!!!

Victor looked at Huna, whose eyes were closed, in his arms, his eyes filled with tenderness.

The heroic moment lasts only three minutes. Once those three minutes are over, you may never be able to hold onto this wonderful feeling again.

However, he does not regret it.

Because he protected the woman he loved most.

Gently placing Shuna on the ground, Victor walked towards the Heart Eater.

With each step, the flames left a dark footprint on the ground.

The Heart Eater realized something was wrong and could no longer maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, so he turned and ran!

He is a person who is very good at judging and weighing things.

If something happens to the enemy that he cannot understand, the best option in that situation is to run away!

What honors, what gentlemanly conduct? They're all bullshit in the face of life and death!

The Heart Eater had no time to think; a whirlwind rose beneath his feet, carrying him rapidly into the distance.

But he had only been running for a short while when his foot was grabbed hard.

Looking back, it was Viktor in his younger days.

At this time, he no longer had a white beard or white hair; his face was rugged, his figure tall, and his eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

The Heroic Moment brings a power boost that goes beyond just magic; it's a comprehensive and seamless improvement.

Strength, experience, combat skills, magical knowledge, and even life insights are all multiplied under the effect of magical tools.

In this state, the heart-devourer has no chance of winning.

"Pay the price for your arrogance!"

Victor grabbed the Heart Eater by the leg and slammed him hard to the ground!

Then, without giving him any chance to catch his breath, Yan Quan charged straight ahead!

The Heart Eater, of course, would not sit idly by and wait for its death; it stirred up a fierce wind and instantly widened the distance.

But before he could even steady himself, a scorching heat hit him.

Upon closer inspection, it was Victor's fist wreathed in flames.

He anticipated his own position!

Damn it! ! !

The fist was already upon him, and the Heart Eater had no way to dodge it. He could only raise his arms to prepare to defend with magic.

However, just as the defensive network was formed, his back was suddenly burning hot!

Victor anticipated the Heart Eater's movements once again, moved behind him in advance, and punched him in the back!

The raging flames burned the clothes on his back to ashes, and the intense heat left horrific scars.

That punch almost paralyzed him on the spot!

The Heart Eater was unable to maintain its footing, and the attack on its lumbar spine even caused its breathing to temporarily stop.

Before the Heart Eater could react, his arm was firmly grabbed.

Flame Fist aimed at his handsome face and slammed down hard!

His nose was shattered, and several of his teeth were broken.

His handsome appearance is gone.

Victor wanted to give chase, but the instinct for survival made the Heart Eater unleash unprecedented speed, instantly putting distance between itself and Victor.

Covering its blood-soaked face, the Heart Eater roared madly.

"You bastard!"

The Heart Eater had lost all composure, becoming like a mad beast with bloodshot eyes.

Or rather, at this moment, he is truly himself.

So-called gentlemanly manners are nothing more than a mouse wearing a suit and pretending to be noble.

But a mouse is, after all, just a mouse.

Dirty and ugly.
