Chapter 561: Exploration
He retreated back into a tunnel and recovered in the Warp Worm for a while before heading back into the cavern and zeroing in on what hed felt earlier. A flow. In the tunnels he couldnt feel it, but now that he was in the area of higher power density he could sense a directional flow to it. Just like finding the direction of an up and down stream in a river, it gave him some clues as to where he was or where he might need to go. A few tests later, he found the up stream, where the more concentrated energy was coming from. With that bit of guidance, he was no longer bumbling around blindly and every so often theyd run into another large cavern and kill more red worms before checking the flow of power and heading towards the place of greater concentration.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.
It was somewhat risky, heading towards the place of greater and greater danger and damage, but Sage wasnt just here to hide inside the Tortoise. There was a greater prize at stake and he could feel they were getting closer. This tortoise lived quite a blessed life, it had come upon two great fortunes in its life. First, the relatively safe area that it first consumed enough natural treasures to elevate itself into a Spirit Animal. Second, and most importantly, the treasure gave it its second qualitative leap into a true Demonic Beast. The obsidian heart was no simple object, and as soon as he saw it, Sage knew why the damned tortoise had been awakened.
The Heart of Eruption.
The Warp Worm had entered a huge chamber and that heart shaped piece of obsidian was at the core of the room. The molten core inside it gave off light that rhythmically shifted between high and low intensity, like a glowing heartbeat. Unfortunately, it was surrounded by what could only be described as a waterpark in hell. Lava shot out from holes in the wall, creating arcing streams of burning heat. The floor of the circular chamber was completely flooded with more of the liquid stone, filled to a depth that Sage could only imagine. It swirled slowly, creating a gentle whirlpool effect around the obsidian heart so that somehow the water level at the edges of the room was higher than that in the center. More amazingly, was that the streams of lava spouting from the walls were pouring into the huge lake, but instead landing on what looked like stone slides. Obsidian waterslides that curled gracefully around the room, circling the room while slowly descending.
A crystalline sphere appeared in his hand. It was a brilliant blue color, a bright cyan, but glowing with a bright yellow light. The Sovereign Stone. The yellow glow surrounded him and he flew out over the burning lake, avoiding the spouts of lava arcing through the air. The molten lake beneath him suddenly exploded. Spurting burning fragments towards him. Sage pushed his spiritual hand downwards and focused the yellow light downwards. The light around him repulsed the burning lava, affecting the trajectory of the lava and knocking it aside. He flew closer to the core and one of the lava streams traveling down the spiral ramps was suddenly diverted. The ramp reshaped itself and directed the flow of lava towards him. Sage held up the Sovereign Stone to deflect the flow, the glowing light barrier acting like an umbrella to block the spray.
Then another one of the spiral ramps reshaped itself and another lava stream flew towards him from behind. Has the Tortoise realized how close I am, or is this just the Heart of Eruption trying to protect itself?
Regardless of the cause, he was still going to get cooked by the flows of lava. The second stream hit him from behind and the light barrier around him visibly dimmed. A third lava ramp started to shift and Sage wasnt going to test his defenses any further. He fled. Retreating back the way he came, he dashed out of the way of the stream of lava, the third flow had been coming from closer to the core so he had to get out of its range. Unfortunately, it only got worse. There were at least a dozen of these lava slides around the room and all of them started to change shape.
While dodging the now moving streams of lava, he sunk towards the lake and was met with an explosive fountain. The lava burst from the surface and sprayed through the air, the burning droplets spattering against the light barrier and obscuring his vision while the larger streams tried to pour down upon him. He quickly fled upwards, dodging more lava streams. The lava poured in from near the top of the chamber and along the walls, so the higher he was the less of them could spray towards him. Lesson learned. Dont go down near the swirling lake. Only problem is the heart is basically sitting on top of it!
