Chapter 155 - Salamander (1/2)
”There!” Albert shouted while leaping back from a bird that almost cracked his head open with its beak.
The bird raised its body again and avoided hitting the ground. Then, it moved toward the gap between Albert's legs and passed through it.
Suddenly, the bird was hit to the ground, giving Albert the best opportunity to deliver the killing blow.
Bonk Smasher.
Albert finished the bird with his Bonk Smasher due to how low the Bonk Bites he needed to consume to use the spell. And the bird didn't have any extraordinary strength either, allowing him to crush the bird's head easily.
After killing the bird, Albert sighed and looked at the crack that he had found previously. ”Still, what should we do with this?”
”Let me explore this crack. Although I still have a physical body, I shouldn't have any problem entering the crack. I'm not very sure, but because of the continuous shakes that we had experienced in the last few hours, the crack looked bigger.”
Albert thought for a moment and asked, ”What if there's a powerful monster inside? Even my Bonk Eyes can't see through the ground.”
”If we don't take a risk, we won't find out whatever is inside. Besides, I'm invisible. There should be a few seconds of response time. Although I can't see in the darkness, I can still sense powerful existences residing inside… if there's any.”
Albert thought for a moment and nodded. ”Fine. If you find something, immediately go back.”
”Understood.” Shella acknowledged Albert's order and started descending.
Meanwhile, Albert looked around, guarding the crack against making sure there were no external threats.
But for an unknown reason, the moment Shella went down, there was a huge roar coming from the ground, followed by the roars coming from the beasts in their surroundings.
”!!!” Albert widened his eyes and turned to the crack without hesitation. ”Shella. Go back!”
Shella also heard the roar and immediately slipped through the gap, returning to Albert's side. There was only one thought in her mind. Something was indeed down there.
The moment she came out of the crack, numerous monsters were coming directly at them.
Albert frowned and commanded. ”We're going to retreat while killing these monsters. At the very least, we need to get away from this crack.”
”Understood.” Shella acknowledged Albert's order and started floating around him.
Albert then ran away as the monsters started chasing after him.
Some monsters took a deep breath before letting out a breath of elements. There were fire breaths, water breaths, or even pure shock waves.
Albert and Shella waved their bats at the same time.
Bonk Wave Emission.
Both of them used the same spell to neutralize all those breaths. Although the spells were nowhere enough to stop all those attacks, the Bonk Wave Emissions still exploded and engulfed the remaining breaths.
Looking at this situation, Albert said while moving away. ”There's something inside there. I don't know. To my knowledge, the volcanic eruption is a natural disaster. But there might be someone that can cause such a phenomenon.
”What do you think? Can Lilith actually cause a volcanic eruption? No, can she cause a disruption that can affect the stability inside the volcano?”
Shella pondered for a moment and shook her head. ”The first question, no. The second question, I believe she can. I don't know how big the effect is, though.”
”I see.” Albert's expression became grim while fending off the monsters' attacks.
However, a big change occurred inside the forest. A huge flame pillar emerged from the ground and soared to the sky.
The pillar was only thirty feet wide, but the length reached as far as half of the mountain.
”Holy shit.” Albert widened his eyes. ”It seems we have done something we shouldn't…”
”That's not necessarily true.”
Before Albert could reply, the trees started melting and falling down. Suddenly, a huge reptile head entered their sight.
The head seemed to be made of molten rock. There were some black crystal rocks scattered all over the head as they had yet to melt.
When the trees completely melted, they saw a long and huge body along with a long tail. Their appearances were exactly the same as the head. In addition, the molten body was set ablaze.
”What the fuck…” Albert drew a gasp as he realized that the monster before him actually controlled all the monsters in this forest.
Shella also confirmed that no monsters moved when this huge lizard came out.
