Volume 1: The Poem of Departure Chapter 30: The Last Seal

Many people who have never seen a volcano may imagine lava as some kind of catastrophic continuous damage, turning an area into a magma lake or something. But in fact, the temperature of the magma drops very quickly after leaving the volcano or leaving the crater, turning into rock in just a day or even a few hours (no, it doesn't turn into obsidian, it doesn't work with water, and there are no weird blue squares under the magma), and the heat caused by rock transpiration will dissipate in a shorter time. The scene covered in magmatic rock will last for a long time, knowing that the rock has weathered into soil, and it is possible for plants to live on it again. But with ash cover, the process may be shortened.

In any case, the damage caused by a volcanic eruption will basically change to a controllable and acceptable level within five or six hours, at least for adventurers, as long as they pay attention to the lava pits that are not completely compacted under their feet, and at the same time prepare for cooling and hydration, such an environment is enough to support them to carry out many tasks. Including saving lives.

Unsure how long Moccarus would last, Del Cora urged the two to leave the cave as fast as they could, and although they were still covered in ash, Del Cora did not use magic to clean it up. He didn't even use light body techniques and levitation techniques, but hurried to the top of the mountain with Assas Shatya, stopping on the side of the crater.

The summit of Yutou Peak is an irregular crater with a diameter of about 500 meters. If you look down from the pass, you can see a very distinct red and orange color - it is lava gushing.

In fact, under normal circumstances, only large areas of black rock that are close to cooling can be seen from the top of the mountain, but obviously the volcanic eruption on the other side caused the lava of Yutou Peak to start surging as well, although it is not yet to erupt, but the heat from the mountain pass makes the hair of the three people dry out a little.

"My current pure spiritual power release distance should be one hundred and twelve meters, and if I manipulate the undead, the limit distance is probably about five or six hundred meters, and the distance should be enough," Delkora calculated the steps, "The distance from here to the entrance of that cave should be reached, and there shouldn't be anyone who puts spiritual power at the door of the sealing secret room to interfere with the magic circle, right?"

Delkora pointed the spatial ring in front of her, and a one-meter-two-tall fish head with hands and feet fell out.

"You still have him with you?" Satya was stunned for a second, "I thought you lost it." ”

"This is a silver-tier fish-man skeleton, and even if I can't manipulate him into battle, it's enough to use it as a meat shield. And the silver level is the highest level of bones I can control, and such a handy undead is hard to find. Delkora took out the Bone Assembler, infused the fishhead skeleton with death energy once more, then closed her eyes and began to manipulate the undead with full concentration.

The fish-man skeleton shook his head, moved his hands and feet, shook the hand holding the three phalanges, and suddenly turned his head to look at Assas, the jaw of the fish-man skeleton twisted and twisted, as if to say something, but only brought a string of bones rubbing.

"What?" said Assas, frowning instinctively. The impact of this picture on normal people is still quite big. And it's really hard to get used to.

"Oh, it has no weapons," said Delkora herself, as if remembering that the undead could not speak, "and what about the long sword you used before, let him arm himself." Dress him in another set of heavy armor. ”

Assas flipped through the spatial ring, quickly throwing out a spare set of knight's heavy armor and the standard longsword of a silver coin. But what is very embarrassing is that Assas is 1.7 meters tall, and the fish-man is only 1.2 meters, and the long sword used by Assas becomes a super-sized giant sword in his hand, and Assas's armor is even more impossible to wear on him. In desperation, he could only wrap a short cloak of Asshas around the fish-man and wrap the fish-man in its entirety, leaving only two hands with weapons exposed.

"What are you doing?" asked Satya, curious.

"This skeleton is the strongest undead in my hand, and I had to use it, but this is the skeleton of a Kraken. Delkora spread his hands helplessly, "You say, a kraken who has been sealed for a thousand years, is close to madness, and is unbearable by the heat, and when he is about to break away from the seal and is excited, he suddenly sees the bones of his own race being made into undead spirits and appears in front of him......"

Assas and Satya thought for a moment, and then shivered together.

"Actually, I'd like to wrap it in full-body armor and disguise it as a dwarf or goblin, but I don't really have equipment of that size. "Now it's all about taking risks." I just hope he's too busy waking up to notice the fact that he's really malicious, and we'll just activate the lava and kill it - that's the best I can think of. ”

The fish-man undead with the light body technique and the feather falling technique attached to it stepped on the raised rocks on the mountain wall and fell step by step. The temperature inside the cave was high, but it was nothing for the undead - neither the undead nor Delkora could detect the temperature change, and the silver bones themselves were resistant to high temperatures, so it didn't have any negative effects. Delkora manipulated the undead to jump left and right with agility, and finally found the hole when he had fallen more than four hundred meters and the rock steam was almost spraying on his face.

Because the entrance of the cave is not hidden at all, it looks like a huge gap that has been dug casually, and it seems that there are still engraved magic patterns on it, and several magic patterns have been extending from the wall, deep into the mountain wall at a high place, and it is estimated that it is used to communicate with the formation of the outside world. This sealing room was just lonely and concave in the rock wall, without any shelter, without any concealment, and there was not even a sense of a defensive magic array. A few thick veins of the outside world were exposed, and if Delkora wanted to, he could now induce lava to destroy these veins—

But he didn't dare.

However, this also completely confirmed his conjecture, the sealer did not intend to make a long-term maintenance sealing circle at all, but maybe his own strength was too strong, and Mocarus's luck was too good, in a place like the Sunset Mountain Range, where the geological changes are frequent, this magic circle really did not be destroyed for a thousand years......

In fact, it was really Mocarus who was lucky, because it seemed that Yutou Peak should have not had an eruption record in a thousand years, otherwise the surging magma would be enough to destroy the few magic patterns that extended out, directly cutting off all the energy supply of the sealing chamber, and Mocaros would have become a grilled fish long ago.

So what did the sealer think? did he want him to die or didn't want him to die? Why did he toss the fish so much?

Delkora sighed as she manipulated the fish-man undead. I don't know if Moccarus has the good luck to hold on until he saves him.

The entrance of the cave was still a bit far from his straight line, but with the help of the Light Body Technique and the Feather Fall Technique, plus the fact that there was no such stagnation in manipulating the humanoid undead, it was not difficult to land there. The moment it landed at the entrance of the cave, Delkora was ready to be confused by all kinds of hidden defensive circles, but there was really nothing at the entrance of the cave.

Aside from the fact that it's really high and a bit of a scary temperature.

If you want to fight in your main body, I'm afraid that a water barrier that has been maintained for a long time is inevitable. In this kind of place where the fire element is strong, this is really not an easy matter.

The fish-man undead used his long sword to split through the stones in front of him, a rare way to physically break the barrier, which made him feel very fresh. He went all the way and cut all the way, and walked forward for about two or three hundred meters, and then he vaguely saw the end of the road. If it weren't for the fact that the road was sloping upward, I'm afraid Del Kora's maneuvering distance might not be able to keep up.

But even so, this is almost the limit of Del Kora, the images transmitted back from the undead have occasionally blurred and stuttered, and the fish-people's movements are not so flexible.

But no problem, it is not expected to defeat the enemy anyway. The fish-man undead wrapped his cloak around his body, covering all the obvious traces of the fish-man, and came there with a long sword.

At the end, what blocked the way was not the imaginary combination of the gate and the magic pattern, but a wall of fire made of pure fire elementals—or flame passages. The passage was about twenty meters long and three meters high, and the entire passage was filled with the fire element that was so dense that the crimson light even obscured the scene on the other side of the cave entrance. These fire elementals were imprisoned by the myriad magical patterns engraved on the walls and ground, and Delkora picked up a small pebble and threw it in, which quickly turned into lava and flowed on the ground.

"No wonder Moccarus didn't dare to escape...... If no one solves this flame passage, he'll definitely be grilled to dried fish by this thing. Delkora nodded in realization, looking around through the eyes of the fish-man undead, looking for a solution.

Simply relying on the fish-man bones to rush into it is definitely the stupidest way, not to mention whether the silver-level bones can withstand the baking of high concentrations of fire elements, and the spiritual power connection between Delkora and the undead will also be weakened in this environment. Delkora searched around, looking for the pattern that would power the fire elemental channel—a costly defense that would either draw heat from the lava to sustain it, or have a separate magic array for power. Delkora searched for a long time, and finally found a magic pattern that extended from the outer wall of the passage to the magma.

The part of the pattern that extends into the magma glows with a pale golden glow, but this glow is almost entirely obscured by the crimson color that belongs to the magma, which is so similar to the surrounding rocks that Del Cora almost ignores it. This golden glow is undoubtedly an alloy of Adamantite and some kind of metal, and only the Demonic Pattern Cornerstone material mixed with Adamantite can absorb heat in the lava without being melted.

This is probably the most valuable part of this huge circle that covers the entire Fish Head Peak......

But again, this thing seems to be completely unguarded.

Delkora easily sliced through the entire wall of rock along with the surrounding pattern. The magic pattern was suddenly cut off, and the heat filled with it suddenly poured out, smuggling the fish-man undead - but there was no problem, the knight's cloak blocked some of the damage, and the remaining heat, the damage caused to the bones of the undead, was completely within the scope of bearing.

After all, Delkora himself doesn't hurt.

As expected, this fire element channel did not set up a second energy supply magic pattern at all, after the essence gold magic pattern was cut off, the magic pattern in the fire element channel was also broken one after another, the channel was an inward shrinking shape, and the magic pattern was broken from the outside to the inside, so there was no oolong incident where the rich fire element poured into the secret room and directly roasted Mocaros. The surging fire elemental undoubtedly confused the fish-man undead again, but the scattered fire elemental was not as lethal as the condensed one. They didn't do as much damage as the severed Magic Pattern, but they only destroyed the Knight's cloak a little more.

Not a big problem.

Delkora manipulated the fish-man undead, and when the fire element finally dissipated, she stuck the knight's sword on her body, and walked into the sealing chamber with the essence gold magic pattern.
