As Delkora expected, even if there was something wrong with this magic array, its disconnection mechanism was still there, and after a while, the fire element at the source point began to boil, and in a violent fluctuation that seemed to erupt, the two things were thrown out of the source point with sparks, and the originally violently turbulent fire element gradually subsided.

After waiting for a moment to make sure that the magic circle was no longer in danger of exploding, Asshas carefully picked up two items - through the gauntlet - and signaled the hole. Light Body and Feather Fall came to him, and he leaped back to the ground with a leap of magic.

At this time, the temperature in the cave was already more than ten degrees higher than outside.

"It's not a pleasant experience," the dusty Assas glanced at Del Cora, "and I'm going to have to go through it three more times." ”

“...... The situation is special, and those who can work hard," Delcora snorted and looked at Assas's hand, "What did you get?

"I didn't pay attention, see for yourself. Assas tossed what he was holding, and Delko stretched out his hand to take it, then shook it off with a snort.

"Whew, hot!"

"Please, that thing is soaking in the fire elemental stream," Assas looked at him like an idiot, "where did your brain go?"

"The brain is still in the illusion gem...... My bad," Delkora smiled awkwardly, pulled out a pair of glove belts from the spatial ring, and picked up the jellyfish ore and another item.

To Delkora's disappointment, the magic item that served as the core of the cycle was actually a hedron as well. It is twice the size of the jellyfish ore, and the shape is a relatively standardized prismatic crystal with a faint red glow - the spar is still emitting heat after the jellyfish has gradually cooled, and it does not appear to be failing.

"Volcanic crystals?" Satya appeared at some point, looking at the gem in Del Kora's hand and she didn't seem particularly satisfied, "It's just a high-grade spar—to be honest, it's quite easy to find in the volcanic mountains." It's disappointing. ”

"To be reasonable, this is the most logical, after all, we are almost certain that this sealing circle is shoddy, and the circulation core must be found casually. Delkora smacked her lips and said with regret, "This thing can be used to make high-level fire-attribute equipment, or to be used as an adjunct to heat up the forge - do you need this?"

Both shook their heads.

"Then keep it and use it later when we need to forge equipment. Delcora put away the volcanic crystals and jellyfish stones, and said with emotion: "I think it's because we have too much and we don't lack suitable equipment that we are so picky." If I didn't have the Sage's Gift, and you didn't have the Knight's Creed and the Fangs, this volcanic crystal would be enough to drive us crazy. ”

“...... This is nonsense. Satya rolled her eyes, "Or can I take your staff and all your equipment?" ”

“...... Please don't. ”

The illusion technique, which had been maintained for nearly ten minutes, had brought Del Kora's mental power consumption to the limit, and he had to end the illusion technique early and put away the illusion gem. The beasts in the forest, who had been on guard for ten minutes, suddenly lost their purpose and suddenly became more frenzied, but fortunately, Satya explored the road again in advance, and after clearing some obstacles, she also found the safest path. The three of them remained hidden and left the jungle, and behind them, several irascible monsters had already begun to fight. The roar of the beast resounded throughout the forest.

The rest of the process is the same, Del Kora uses illusions to attract the attention of predators, Assas cooperates with Del Kora to dig up the earth to break the seal to get the core of the loop, and Satya clears the obstacles to ensure the retreat route. However, because after each end, Delkora's mental power was on the verge of limit, so in order to seek stability, they still slowed down, digging one point a day, and by the fourth day, they had reached the core of the last circle.

And in the past four days, Del Cora has never sensed the invasion of spiritual power from Mocarus again.

This is the last time. Thinking so, Assas threw the hard-earned jellyfish ore into the source for the fourth time.

This is already a familiar plot. He stood by and watched as the fire elemental clogged, the circulation line broke, the core item popped out with the jellyfish stone, and then it was time to get back to the surface-

Suddenly, the ground shook.

The sudden tremor startled Assas. But before he could react, the light body and levitation spells from the cave entrance were already hanging on him, and Delkora forcibly interrupted the illusion and concentrated on pulling him to the ground. And when he stepped on the earth again, Assas came back to his senses and noticed the magnificent scenery in the distance.

Smoke billowed from the farthest mountain from Yutou Peak. The crimson ashes rose into the sky, tumbling and spreading to the surrounding area, and the pass lit up with a conspicuous red. Immediately after, lava erupted.

The volcano erupted.

The ash spread quickly, the sunlight was blocked, and the midday sky became dark. The smell of scorching sulfur was in the air, the earth was trembling, and the forest was shaking—the frightened beasts ran wildly, and Delkora hurriedly pulled the two into the sky, but the panicked beasts no longer paid attention to the intruders who had intruded into their territory.

There are many powerful magical beasts of silver, gold, and even epic rank among them, but in the face of the great power of nature, the power of individuals seems so small and inconspicuous.

In order to prevent accidental injury, Delkora once again raised the position of the three of them, at the cost of poor air quality, and between breaths, there was always volcanic ash to drill into the nose. Delkora then built an air chamber around the perimeter - a series of continuous magic that stretched his already scarce mental strength even harder. He struggled to maintain the stability of his magic, and led the three of them to land in the direction of Fish Head Peak.

The eruption was still five or six kilometers away from Yutou Peak, but the scale of the eruption was huge, and the lava flowed downstream, swallowing up the woods, meadows, and the lives that lived in it that had no time to escape. Del Cora even saw that there was already a pouring of lava in the core of the magic array that had been dug up before, and the cave dug by the trio was instantly filled with magma, and of course, the magic pattern circle below that had lost its circulating core and was disconnected was completely destroyed.

Most magic arrays can't maintain stable operation in magma, and neither can the fire attribute - although the temperature of the lava itself is not too high (the maximum temperature of naturally occurring lava does not exceed 1400 degrees Celsius, while the internal temperature of pure fire elemental fluids can reach about 1500~2000 degrees Celsius, and the forging furnace of master dwarven blacksmiths can reach 3000~). 4000 degrees or higher), but the lava will affect the structure of the cornerstone material of the inscription circle, and if the magic circle is inscribed on a stone item, the cooled lava will assimilate to the cornerstone item to a certain extent, distorting the shape and structure of the magic pattern, making it completely useless - the fire elemental fluid can flow obediently in the cornerstone item because of the mage's restraint and the neutralization of other precious materials, but not any cornerstone material can withstand temperatures of 1400 degrees Celsius.

After all, the magic array still has to be engraved on the cornerstone, and the cornerstone material here seems to be just a solid rock that has been temporarily condensed.

The magma was still spreading, chasing the lives of the unlucky ones who couldn't escape, but the three people who had landed halfway up the Yutou Peak barely guaranteed safety. The surrounding temperature was very high, and the steam and heat wave made everyone very uncomfortable, but Del Cora was forced to interrupt the maintenance of the bubble room due to the depletion of mental power, and immediately began to meditate to restore mental power. But in this hostile environment, meditation has become a difficult thing to do—Del Cora forces himself to calm down, but the effect of the recovery is less than a quarter of what he usually is.

"Let's go up, the temperature at the top of the mountain may be a little lower," Assas looked up at the top of the mountain, Fishhead Peak is a regular cone-shaped peak, the slope is not steep, and it is not difficult to climb, "When the temperature drops, think about the rest - I hope that Mocarus will not die in the magma and the earthquake." ”

Walking up the ridge, all three covered their faces with cloth to block the ubiquitous volcanic ash. Fortunately, the eruption did not take long, and the magma finally stopped devouring life after flowing through several peaks, and gradually cooled down. Volcanic ash was scattered in a fluttering manner, obscuring the sky in the air and a gray color on the ground.

Once again, Assas used his strengths, digging into a thick-looking rock face, and with the little mental power that Del Cora had recovered, he created a cave where the three of them could rest. In this cave, the environment finally stabilized, and Delkora also seized all the time to start recovering his mental strength. Because of the high temperature, Assas did not light a fire, but summoned several orbs of holy light for lighting, and after opening the shadow space at the entrance of the cave and storing the falling volcanic ash in it, Satya turned to look at Del Cora with a worried face.

"He's been overloaded these days," Satya said worriedly, "with his current strength, forcibly using arcane magic would be a great burden. It's fine if it's okay after that, but if there is another fight, his state will make him dangerous. ”

"You're saying we're going to guard against that Mocarus?" Assas understood what she meant.

“...... I hope not," Satya thought for a moment and shook her head, "Actually, there won't be much danger, it's just that once Mocaros strikes at us, the 'protectors' will intervene." Del Cola didn't want that to happen. ”

"He's a man who values rituals, and the involvement of the 'protector' will make him lose his identity as a mercenary. Assas looked at Del Kora, "Hopefully everything will go as he wishes." ”
