Free Web NovelChapter 1540: Chapter 940: Chaos Ruins Izaris_2
A few days ago, the guild leader of the adventurer’s guild in the Imperial Capital contacted them, hoping they could explore the Giant Tomb, as the information about that place was relatively complete.
Temude agreed, but the warriors under his command did not.
So, everyone tacitly came to the Demon Relics.
Fifteen berserkers gathered together and used [Summoning Star] against the Monsters. How many Monsters could withstand such intensity?
Even elite Monsters could possibly be killed in one hit!
This overpowered berserker team bulldozed their way here like a steamroller, not even exploring thoroughly, missing several bonfires.
"Your Highness the Prince, we have cleared everything; let’s move," said the warriors as they came over, their pouches bulging, "everyone’s in top form now."
"The daughter of the Izalith Witch is so beautiful; she must be even more beautiful herself, I can’t wait any longer."
"What if she’s an old hag though?"
"Shut your mouth!"
The banter and laughter of the warriors made the Demon Relics feel less oppressive. Temude smiled, waved his large hand, and said, "Let’s go, move out now!"
Instead of retracing their steps down the stairs, everyone chose to leap down heroically to the lower level.
Previously, when the continuously decaying creature was still alive, the ground here was covered with burning rotten flesh, making it impossible to tread. Now with its death, the rotten meat disappeared, leaving just a slightly warmer open space.
The Fog Gate behind the Boss Monster finally opened its arms to everyone.
"Ahead lies another unknown region, everyone be careful."
Temude gave a reminder and led the way, walking at the forefront. The two Shattered Star Greatswords in his hands crossed in front of him like a sturdy shield. If it were a physical attack, he would withstand it with the Dual Swords. If it were a magic attack, he would use Gravity Magic to deflect it. This is how they played.
If one overlooks the Demon Relics, it appears as an ancient architectural complex, inconsistent with modern style, not particularly large. Occasionally, one can see flowing lava, and the environment is relatively tolerable.
However, as soon as the leading Temude passed through the Fog Gate, the steaming heat rushed in!
He instinctively pulled out the cold drink he had prepared and downed it. This specialty from the forest region temporarily protected him from high-temperature damage, although it didn’t mean he was insulated from the high heat’s effects.
"It’s so hot! It’s several times hotter than the Demon Relics!"
"I can barely hold my weapon; the armor is getting scorching!"
"Is this really a place for humans to be?"
Feeling this unprecedented heat, the warriors all exclaimed. Besides drinking the cold drink, they also pulled out the Ice Scrolls. After tearing them, magical cooling was applied to all, enveloping each in a layer of chilling magic shields.
But this theoretically half-hour lasting Ice Shield quickly evaporated at an alarming rate, reducing the duration to less than half right before their eyes.
Looking at the new region before them, Temude couldn’t help but say:
"What the hell is this place..."
Presented before him was a land of flowing magma, red to the point of being almost blinding.
Magma, magma, magma, everywhere was glaringly bright red magma, as if it was a sea formed by lava!
The few structures present appeared to rise and fall in the sea of magma, with the magma almost constantly washing over the open ground.
On the other side of this sea of magma, at least three or four kilometers away, stood a cluster of black architecture full of spired buildings, as if scorched by flames.
A giant bluish tree grew from the cluster of buildings, its massive form even penetrating the overhead rock strata, extending to where no one could see.
The strange giant tree’s numerous branches spread out like tentacles in all directions. There were quite a few branches that appeared larger than bridges throughout the sea of magma.
The branches wantonly grew in places beyond mortal sight, embedding into the map’s edges in this lava-filled area. Some branches, under the reflection of magma, appeared black-red in color, exuding a particularly sinister aura.
However, beside those branches seemed to be a considerable number of... things that didn’t resemble twigs.
The key point was, even the magma appeared powerless against these massive plants, as the giant tree’s branches showed no sign of burning in the magma!
These sprawling branches formed a bridge upon which everyone could stand, but a closer look revealed that many branches lacked connections, and any carelessness could result in falling directly into the magma.
An ordinary person with sanity would definitely want to avoid touching magma.
"The end goal of our adventure must be that cluster of buildings," someone pointed towards the building cluster rooted by the giant tree.
"Yes." Temude nodded; he could feel an extraordinary aura emanating from that building cluster, surely concealing something.
Indeed, anyone with normal reasoning coming here would assume the giant tree structure cluster is the Boss Monster’s dwelling, as its appearance was too conspicuous.
"What’s that?" freewebnoveℓ.com
A warrior pointed into the magma, and everyone followed his direction.
They saw in the bubbling magma, a huge rotted body was slowly moving its steps. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Every step caused rotten flesh to fall off, the highly decayed flesh hanging on the half-remnant body, appearing particularly horrific.
"Wait a minute, could that be... a dragon?"
"A rotten giant dragon with only its lower half?"
Temude frowned deeply, admitting he’d never seen such an absurd sight.
The top half of the body was gone, with only the lower half moving in the scarlet magma, the interior hollow, not emitting any smell even under the high temperature’s roasting.
What’s most eye-catching is that such rotten dragons with only half a body were more than one.
"One, two, three... eight, nine, ten, there are too many to count,"
The warriors voiced their amazement. Such dragons were not few in number, merely based on their number seemed to fit as "minions" of this region.
Even if they were just rotten dragons, their original physical attributes were still there, surely not something to casually deal with.
At least they were elite level Monsters.
Upon seeing these powerful and numerous Monsters, adventurers would absolutely opt to cautiously avoid them, with discretion being to use Invisibility Technique coupled with Enemy Attraction Skull.
However, whether the Enemy Attraction Skull would have any effect on this half-bodied rotten dragon army was unknown.
Temude suddenly heard the warriors’ breathing behind him grow heavy.
"I knew it, you guys really are..."
He shook his head with a smile, immediately understanding the meaning of these berserkers.
"Charge! Let’s face them head-on!"
The warriors became collectively excited, raising their Great Swords high and charging at the nearest rotten giant dragon!
[Chaos Ruins Izaris]
The name of the area appeared before them, but it didn’t halt the warriors’ steps.
They sprinted swiftly on the branches, not at all considering what would happen if they accidentally fell into the lava, their minds filled with the challenge of the rotten giant dragons. Not even a necromancer could create such wicked entities.
But at that moment.
"Rumble rumble——"
The branches beneath everyone’s feet suddenly started to tremble slightly.
As if, they were about to start moving!
