Chapter 417: Natural Disaster
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma TranslationsAfter another small-scale earthquake, Jia Wei said, “It’s too dangerous if a volcano like this were to erupt. We can’t let the group proceed any further.”
Ferdinand said, “But Lord Xingjian is just right inside. We need to sign the authorization for the Rebirth Sword Technique today.”
“Let me go along with him.” A white armored warrior in his twenties stepped out and said, “Team leader, I cultivate the Earthly Flames Divine Sword and have been training in volcanoes since the age of ten.” The young warrior smiled and looked at Jia Wei. “At this place, my abilities are double that of my usual, and I should be the most knowledgeable with regard to surviving around a volcanic region.”
Jia Wei frowned. He looked at the volcano which was flaring up at an increasing rate, as well as the sky which was covered in volcanic ash. He nodded and said, “Ferdinand, let Ben bring you there.”
The young man, who was called Ben, was also a talented second transition Conferred Knight. He was at level 24 and had the experience of cultivating in volcanoes starting from a young age. This allowed him to be able to move around here with great ease.
Ben grabbed onto Ferdinand, and with a dash, they headed toward the volcano’s peak.
On their way up, lava started to flow down, and the ground under their feet became like scorching steel plates. Occasionally, large pieces of rocks were also being splurted out.
However, despite this, Ben continued to move on at rapid speed. It was true that he was very familiar with such an environment. Bringing Ferdinand along with him, he avoided numerous dangers, and in the blink of an eye, they had already gotten close to the volcano’s crater.
Ben pointed to the figure above the volcano’s crater and asked, “Is that Fang Xingjian?”
Ferdinand nodded. “It’s him.” At the next moment, he shouted loudly, “Xingjian!”
Up in the air, Xingjian was originally looking down toward the volcano’s crater. However, when he heard Ferdinand’s shout, he looked back, and in the next moment, soaring sparks gushed forth toward him.
Amidst Ferdinand’s and Ben’s astonished gazes, the volcano erupted again. The soaring lava and rocks swallowed up everything, and the entire world became completely dark in that instant.
Terrifying explosions rang out, surging to and fro in the atmosphere. Ferdinand’s ears seemed as if they were going deaf.
“No!” With an astonished cry, Ferdinand wanted to dash over, but he was pulled back by Ben.
“Are you crazy? Even if we go up there, we’ll just be courting death.” As Ben said that, he drew out his longsword and activated the Earthly Flames Divine Sword.
It was only then that Ferdinand saw the surrounding situation clearly. The ground below his feet continued to crack, and lava spurted out from all directions.
Ben swung the longsword in his hand consecutively, hitting large chunks of rocks into the surrounding lava.
It was as if everything before them had turned into a sea of flames. Ben activated the Earthly Flames Divine Sword at full power, putting up a fight against the surrounding lava. Simultaneously, he dashed down the volcano while holding onto Ferdinand.
However, the explosive force of this volcano was beyond his imagination. The lava pounced toward them like a tsunami, and they were surrounded in blazing flames in all directions.
In merely a few seconds, several hundred thousand tons of substances spurted out from the volcano’s crater. Even Ben was unable to fend off even a small portion of it.
His Earthly Flames Divine Sword once again collided with the wave of flames. Then with a thunderous rumble, Ben spewed out a mouthful of blood and flew out while grabbing onto Ferdinand.
As the two of them seemed like they were about to land into the sea of flames, a hint of desperation flashed in both Ben’s and Ferdinand’s eyes.
