A Sorcerer's Journey - Chapter 237
Chapter 237: The Shadow Calamity XIV
Perishing Volcano.
Since the war of the ancients, many years ago, the Amonros had regarded this land as the evil holy land for the Pyrodust World, and hence their goal was to completely destroy this abominable land of filth.
However, the Amonros had yet to succeed in their goal despite giving up countless talented Amonros’ lives in their struggle.
The Shadow Enigmatic Amonros call this evil sacred land in the Pyrodust World the Perishing Land. Merely entering this area, let alone performing enigmatic powers, would cause one’s body tissues to quickly disintegrate—inviting death as if the most powerful curse had been laid.
With the exception of the great Ancestral Amonro, any Enigmatic Amonro that was to appear in these lands would not last seven days before death befell him.
The lower level Golden Amonros affected by the effects would find it nearly impossible to annihilate the Lava Giants living in the Magma Lakes.
Due to this, the Amonros created a long term plan, it includes plans to control the Great Bloodfalls Lavawyvern, train a batch of Neon Green Amonros for special operations, as well as cultivating fallen Lava Giants, to name a few. In the near future, they would break on through into the land of filth that is plagued by the “Pollution Curse”.
Grimm found a Lava Giant embryo within the core of a volcano in the Crimson Sun World, uncovering the Amonros’ plans to cultivate and use Fallen Lava Giants.
If we take the Enigmatic Stormwind City as this world’s ‘Yin’ point, a symbol of darkness, then in contrast, the Perishing Volcanoes would represent this world’s ‘Yang’ Point, signifying light.
According to the Sorcerer World’s natural Theory of Cycles, this Amonro world’s current existence is part of a cycle—akin to the cycle between day and night. It’s just that the intermediate period had gone on for too long, and required a great amount of will to prime the cycle once again.
In each cycle, one species would thrive and prosper while the other species would go dormant.
Consequently, to name this mystical place the Shadow World is not far-fetched. Though, you can’t really blame the information failure of the Demon-hunting Sorcerers in developing coordinates.
Even the Grand Celestial Sorcerer had limited knowledge about this bizarre, infinite world—what more to say of mere Demon-hunting Sorcerers.
At the top of the Sacred Lava Mountain stood a Lava Giant more than fifty meters tall, head raised, both arms open. The flames danced around as if they were intoxicated, as raindrops of fire fell from the sky. Flame Energy from all directions flowed never-endingly towards its body.
It was the king of the remaining Lava Giants that continued surviving in this small world.
Only within the confines of this space, could he barely maintain Level 4 biological strength, which was the strongest Elemental Soul of Birth in this area.
“This is indeed a sign of the resurrection of the Sacred Lava Tarns! The gathering power of the infinite Pyrodust! I can feel it! The power of all the Crimson Sun Pyrodust is being forced into the core of the Sacred Lava Tarns by the infinite Shadow Enigmatic power!”
The lava giant shouted with uncontrollable excitement.
A thundering bang echoed as the Lava Giant King knelt down at the side of a mountain that was at least a few kilometers in height. Large droplets of flames came raining down from his eyes.
“Hey! Sacred Mountain! Sacred Mountain! Sacred Mountain…”
This colossal Lava Giant started yelling at the foot of the Sacred Lava Tarn. Majestic waves of red flame swelled and rolled throughout the area continuously.
Slowly, the Lava Giant King laid down his arms and the excited cheering under the Sacred Lava Tarn gradually calmed down.
.
“The Pyrodust World must have changed. Just like in ancient times, our great ancestors were forced to yield the power of the Sacred Lava Tarn in order to resist the invasion by the powerful Shura World. It led to the Crimson Sun Calamity, and sealed the world’s cracks which resulted in major catastrophes occuring. It also created the despicable Amonros from the lands of the Enigmatic Curse. As the power of the Shadow World grew stronger, they became more advanced and took advantage of our ancestors’ weakness…”
Roar!
The guttural scream echoed across the sky.
In a sad and hateful tone, the Lava Giant King said, “And now, history will repeat itself! Only this time, victory will be ours! We Lava Giants will take back our victory! I, Bugitamir, will be the Ancestral Lava Giant of the next generation! I will use the collective power of the world’s Crimson Sun Pyrodust and promote myself to become the true ruler of the world!”
“Ancestral Lava Giant!”
“Ruler of the world!”
The Lava Giant King started to absorb Flame Energy from his surroundings, the flames around him grew denser and denser. His golden flaming body started solidifying as his life force grew increasingly stronger.
“Jyoronshan [1]!” The Lava Giant King bellowed.
This was a Lava Giant with a height of three meters only. In the eyes of many other bigger Lava Giants, he was considered insignificant—a nobody.
What was surprising was that this Lava Giant was made up of two halves—Flame Energy and Enigmatic Energy. Two very distinct energy elements that usually separated like oil and water—blended harmoniously in one body.
“My king.”
The Jyoronshan Lava Giant congratulated the king. The breath emitted by the Lava Giant turned out to be a level three Biological Breath, nearly closing in on the energy level of the Lava Giant King, whose abilities are still expanding exponentially.
It seems that this Lava Giant variant was an extremely rare hybrid, born simply out of pure coincidence.
The Lava Giant King nodded as he eyed this hybrid Lava Giant. The King once thought in secrecy that he was indeed the future for the Lava Giants, their one and only true hope.
Gathering both the world’s Pyrodust Energy and Enigmatic Energy, his future has the potential to far surpass the achievements made by all the previous rulers of the world, leading the Lava Giants to regain their former glory.
As a result, the prestige that the Jyoronshan Giant held surpassed that of the King himself at some points.
Previously, the King would not harbour any harsh feelings, but as he grew more ambitious, hoping to grab the title of Ruler of the World, he could not help but feel jealous about the existence of the Jyoronshan Giant.
Perhaps it was time that he should disappear!
“Jyoronshan, you are the only one here that can break through the Enigmatic Hurricane Seal. If, after 365,700 heartbeats the gathering of Crimson Sun Pyrodust Energy here doesn’t stop, I will become the true World Lord. I command you to leave this place, scout the outside world and observe its happenings, see why the Amonros have triggered the Infinite Enigmatic Seal.”
If he were to become the World Lord, he could easily manipulate other species to kill the Jyoronshan Giant.
If he failed to become the World Lord, he could use the mission’s failure as an excuse to execute the Jyoronshan Giant with the help of his followers, leaving the future hope of the Lava Giants.
“Yes, my king.”
The Jyoronshan Giant’s Enigmatic eyes glimmered as he looked up at the tall, seemingly incomparable majestic Lava Giant King.
One day later.
“Lord Jyoronshan, I can only deliver you so far, you will have to go on without me for the rest of your journey,” said painfully by a Great Bloodfalls Lavawyvern the size of nearly a thousand meters.
“Understood.”
Jyoronshan, with his blend of Enigmatic and Flame Energy, wrapped himself up in a layer of Enigmatic Energy as he ripped open a tear in the Enigmatic Hurricane Seal. He silently walked towards the outside world, into the fierce stormwinds. These winds looked as if they would rip him into pieces but the Enigmatic Energy layer made him invincible to damage.
The Great Bloodfalls Lavawyvern suddenly yelled, “Lord Jyoronshan, I wish you a safe journey. You are the Lava Giants’ only true hope!”
In the next instance, the Great Bloodfalls Lavawyvern was unable to stand the force of the Enigmatic Hurricane any longer. It flapped its wings and flew back towards the interior of the Perishing Volcanoes. Jyoronshan felt the gusts from its wings hit him as he made his way forward into his harsh journey.
