Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2301

After a while, Sunny appeared from the swirling smoke, torrents of dazzling magma dripping from the jade exterior of his dark armor. He flicked it off his arm, then glanced at Kai.

"It's finished."

Sunny breathed out slowly.

"It appears the Tyrant had been developing in the core of the volcano for ages. Previously, only its servants would have ventured to the surface, but with the expanding community of Ravenheart, the aroma of human souls must have caught its interest. It's fortunate that we handled the creature before it cracked the ceiling of the magma chamber trying to ascend."

A Corrupted Tyrant was a formidable opponent for Kai, and it might still present some threat to Sunny — but only if Sunny wasn't attentive. Since Cassie had briefed him about what abilities the monstrous entity possessed, he managed to slay it both swiftly and efficiently.

In truth, he had devoted most of the time simply exploring the interior of the volcano, not fighting the monster.

There were many fascinating things to investigate there.

Sunny weighed his words for a moment.

"At first, I was somewhat puzzled that you didn't accompany me down, Nightingale. But once I plunged into the lava, I comprehended… even with my Supreme physique, remaining alive down there wasn't simple. I nearly got roasted alive. This isn't a normal volcano, is it?"

Kai gradually shook his head.

"No, it isn't. My own physique as a Dragonslayer grants me substantial resistance against various forms of attacks, particularly those related to fire… but even for me, the heat inside this volcano is excessive."

He sighed.

"You must have reviewed the accounts Lonesome Howl and her scouts brought back. The territories west of Ravenheart are a frozen nightmare — the chill there is so extreme that even Saints cannot endure. But actually, those territories hadn't always been frozen, and the hypothetical ocean beyond them wasn't frozen either. The remnants of fallen civilizations she uncovered, trapped in ice, are evidence. Furthermore…"

Kai's demeanor became grave.

"The chill must have extended eastward gradually, judging by the remnants. And it is my conviction that it would have continued to extend, eventually transforming the entire Dream Realm into a frigid, frozen, lifeless world — if not for this mountain range and its mystical volcanoes, which act as a shield against the deadly cold. It is thanks to them and the ash they release that people can dwell in Ravenheart, the earth here is so productive, and the strange entities that inhabit the snow can't pass over from the frozen wastelands."

He paused for a moment and added with a slight smile:

"It is also my conviction that these volcanoes had been formed, or at least enhanced, by the Jade Palace and its Component. Well… in a sense."

Sunny lifted an eyebrow.
