After the Hero's Victory
Alibaba stared at the frozen mountain.
"...It worked."
"This spell was designed to imprison dragons..."
"...titans..."
"...even legendary monsters."
"I never imagined..."
"...its first true success..."
"...would be against you."
Several long moments passed.
No movement.
No sound.
Nothing.
Alibaba slowly relaxed.
"So..."
"You truly are no longer Demon Lord Anos."
"Like I said..."
"Your pride became your downfall."
"I can't believe..."
"...I was afraid of someone like you."
He cautiously approached the mountain.
Just as he reached it—
A calm voice echoed behind him.
"That was pretty good."
Alibaba froze.
His emerald flames shook violently.
"A wide-area spell."
"One that leaves no escape."
Victor's voice remained relaxed.
"Normally..."
"...that would've been my end."
"But unfortunately..."
"...you're far too predictable."
"I knew you'd finish with an ice spell."
"So..."
"...it was the easiest thing to prepare for."
