At this moment, the noble lords watching the battle clearly understood that this fight was almost one-sided.
And the one who gained the overwhelming advantage was Viktor.
At this time, the nobles had mixed feelings.
They were happy because they no longer needed to worry about being threatened by those two tiger-men.
They were disappointed because they couldn't see where Viktor's limit actually was.
Perhaps he had no limit at all.
Despite being a mage, his close combat skills had already overwhelmed everyone present.
Perhaps only those powerful veteran marquises might have a chance to cross swords with Viktor in close combat.
Was he really a mage?
Suddenly, many noble lords of the kingdom recalled Princess Aurelianne's performance in the previous arena battle at the Royal Academy.
The master and apprentice were truly alike.
Though both were mages, they both favored close combat.
After hearing Viktor's words.
The two tiger-men exchanged glances for a moment, as if making some decision, and nodded slightly.
They bared their teeth, simultaneously stepping back with both feet. Their giant tiger claws' joints bent slightly as their aura suddenly surged.
The elder tiger's aura became subtle and swift as the wind. With one foot lightly touching the ground and both hands crossed in front, its nimble figure intertwined perfectly with the stirred water waves.
Meanwhile, the female tiger beside it gradually raised both arms. The surrounding wind seemed to become violent in its hands, with air currents focusing on its limbs like whirlwind blades.
Brilliant light burst forth from the eyes of both tiger-men, as if the power of wind and flowing water began to merge through the 'qi' around their bodies, gradually enveloping them completely.
At this moment, their power was fully unleashed, and even that bestial nature of being half-beasts was half erased.
"What is... this power!?"
The nobles present were shocked by the strange aura emanating from the two tiger-men.
Could they manipulate the world's elements for their own use merely through their physical bodies and the subtle qi within?
They clearly didn't know.
The rarity of the Warrior profession meant none of them understood Warriors.
A Warrior's qi would quietly accumulate during normal times, only bursting forth with all accumulated power at crucial moments.
And once they unleash all their qi, Warriors could even strike beyond their own tier.
Two orange figures suddenly sprang from the ground, with storms and water flows perfectly merged between them. The qi surged on their bodies, finally concentrating in their solid arms.
Finally, carrying this intense aura, they threw an earth-shattering punch toward Viktor across the space.
[Martial Technique: Hurricane Flowing Water Break]
Whoosh—! Boom—!
As the punch was thrown, that enormous qi wrapped in terrifying water waves and vast hurricanes quickly gathered around Viktor, continuously collapsing.
The smooth and shining qi was compressed to the extreme, and everyone watched as Viktor was gradually engulfed by these two elemental forces.
The next second, that violent chaotic power completely exploded, with wind and sea waves striking in all directions, fiercely impacting the swaying golden walls.
The powerful aura shot straight into the sky covered by dark clouds, revealing the clear starry sky above.
Feeling this magnificent power, it was as if they themselves had sunk into a vortex stirred by storms.
The nobles nervously leaned forward, arms protecting their faces, struggling to resist this violent aura.
Boom—!
The overwhelming power shook the entire space, seemingly enveloping the whole hall!
The mighty windstorm swept through the entire auction hall, and the enormous qi devoured the entire golden venue.

Countless people staggered from the strong wind, with sharp water droplets' airflow nearly tearing past everyone.
Gwen and Aurelianne's silver hair quickly rose and danced in the air.
The two of them quietly gazed forward, letting that terrible force brush past their faces.
Augustus widened his eyes, his body trembling non-stop from this terrifyingly powerful force.
Until the devastating power gradually dispersed and the wind slowly calmed down.
Fine rocks continuously fell from the golden hall, and besides this, extreme silence filled the entire hall.
The nobles lowered their arms that had been shielding their eyes, staring blankly forward.
"Is it... over?"
They looked toward the auction venue, where the golden wall facing the tiger-men had completely collapsed.
Following the wall's collapse, an even more shocking sight appeared before them:
A huge fist imprint appeared on the ground of the auction hall.
It started from the collapsed wall, deeply embedded in the ground, extending outward for several miles.
They widened their eyes and gaped, completely unable to believe the scene before them.
Their bodies also trembled continuously with fear, seemingly no longer able to maintain their original composure.
They had never imagined that two half-beasts would possess such formidable strength.
If they were the ones facing this strike, probably no one present could have withstood it.
At this time, the two tiger-men had also retreated to their original positions.
Their bodies trembled as they panted heavily, with water drops constantly falling from their foreheads, unclear whether it was sweat or rain.
But on the faces of the two tiger-men, their mouths curled slightly, as if showing victorious smiles.
At this moment, cold sweat streamed down the nobles' faces.
Since both tiger-men were still standing there, what had happened to Viktor?
He was a mage after all... after suffering such an attack...
Perhaps...
Thinking of this, the nobles' hearts raced faster, holding their breath, focusing their gaze where the dust was slowly dispersing.
Suddenly, as if sensing something.
The smiles of the two tiger-men came to an abrupt halt.
Similarly, countless nobles widened their eyes in shock.
They stood dumbfounded, looking with disbelieving eyes toward the gradually dispersing dust.
What first came into view was that completely undamaged coat.
The blue and pale stripes still flickered slightly on that windbreaker.
And Viktor, likewise seemingly unaffected, calmly walked out.
Between the wind streams, the coat rustled.
At some point, on his shoulder, that black crow stood, peacefully preening its feathers.
Viktor calmly looked toward the two tiger-men and spoke in a steady voice:
"Not a bad attack."
"Perhaps I should consider letting you two become assistants to my butler at my home."
The nobles' gazes gathered on Viktor, their expressions frozen, standing there utterly shocked.
"How... how is this possible..."
"How did Viktor manage to emerge completely unscathed from such terrible power?"
Everyone present wore looks of disbelief, as if they had witnessed the appearance of a miracle.
The two tiger-men were equally shocked, dragging their powerless bodies two steps backward.
"This... this is impos... sible."
Viktor slowly raised one hand.
The moment they saw Viktor raise his hand, the two tiger-men's fur suddenly bristled, as if in the next second, an incredibly terrible crisis would descend.
However, Viktor merely reached out to dust off his shoulders, appearing extremely relaxed.
It seemed that terrible attack from earlier was nothing worth mentioning to him.
After dusting off his shoulders, Viktor glanced at the black crow standing on his shoulder.
Then, his gaze returned to the two tiger-men, his expression blank.
"That was truly an enjoyable battle."
Viktor put away the wooden sword, with the vines gradually retreating along his arm.
"However, now it's my turn to strike."
After hearing these words, the gathered nobles stood dumbfounded.
A blue magic array slowly appeared in the air, and Viktor reached out to draw from it a jet-black bird-headed staff.
Seeing Viktor take out his staff, the nobles present couldn't help but feel their hearts tremble.
Some nobles even exclaimed in surprise:
"He's actually a mage!?"
The noble lords stood frozen in place, looking at each other, like a bunch of foolish eyes meeting.
What was Viktor, who suddenly took out his staff, going to do?
Even Augustus stood up, watching Viktor's actions with widened eyes.
Wait a minute, it couldn't be...
Was he planning to...
At this moment, Augustus suddenly remembered.
All those rumors about that Councilor from the Kravina family.
Only Aurelianne remained quietly seated in her chair, displaying a confident smile.
Almost instantly, a blue light flickered in Vega's eyes.
Similarly, a blue mana strand appeared in Viktor's eyes, flowing slowly.
Connection successful—
The next second, countless arrays flickering with blue light slowly appeared in the air.
The huge array patterns began to intertwine rapidly, with arrays of varying sizes appearing behind Viktor.
Complex runes were engraved on the edges of the arrays, constantly rotating and cycling.
The brilliant light shone in the nobles' eyes, filling their vision.
Buzz buzz buzz buzz—
In an instant, dozens of arrays large and small spun rapidly behind Viktor like gears, with deep resonances rising like great bells.
Seeing these terrifying arrays that shot straight to the dome, countless nobles stood frozen, staring dumbly at the complex arrays.
Feeling this horrifying power about to erupt, their bodies had already begun to tremble uncontrollably.
The two tiger-men looked at that incredibly fantastic magic, their eyes widening even further as their legs went weak.
They clearly felt the arrival of true crisis.
But their previous attack had already depleted their strength.
Facing this terrifying attack again, their limbs were like stone, frozen in place.
Suddenly, within those magic arrays, a blue tiger with pale patterns slowly climbed to the top of Viktor's head.
Under countless shocked gazes, that pale tiger raised its head and roared to the heavens!
The sound waves from the roar impacted the enormous golden venue.
At this moment, all the nobles couldn't help but cover their ears.
But even so, the fierce roar still made their ears ring.
That terrifying sharp roar made them unable to hear anything else.
Echoing in everyone's ears was only the piercing rumble that penetrated their hearts.
And that chanting from within the arrays.
"Feel it, this true—"
Instantly, dozens of arrays suddenly burst.
Heavy waves of mana devoured the earth, white radiance exploded out from the tiger's body, spreading in all directions.
The golden ground rose together with deep soil, and even the air became stagnant and heavy.
The terrifying momentum carried power capable of destroying an entire city.
Along with Viktor's voice, it echoed together:
"p-o-w-e-r—"
