Chapter 563: Dire Straits
With only one limb remaining, the Blacksilver Knight was in a terrible position. Sure, the strength of the Blacksilver creations was their rapid regeneration, but could it regrow its whole body before falling a dozen feet into the swirling lake of lava? Not a chance.
On the other hand, their trip here had given Sage some ideas.
The Second Skin Barrier disappeared and Sage threw all of his Spirit Power into pulling things out of the Inner World. Huge boulders appeared rapidly, one after the other. Stones the size of a small car were tossed out beneath the Blacksilver Knight. They were at the verge of destruction, deep inside the body of a mountain sized tortoise, trapped in a huge cavern filled with lava. A cavern the size of a large sporting arena, yet could it compare to the immensity of an entire planet?
Faced with the giant lake of lava, Sage took the most wasteful and inefficient path to success. Filling it in. So what if the tortoise could melt stone and turn it into its liquid state. That burning lava beneath him was quite intimidating, but there was still a limit to its size! Wind can fan flames, making them larger and stronger, but if the winds were overwhelmingly stronger, the flames would be snuffed out. So what if the Heart of Eruption could melt stone into lava. As long as he threw out enough stone theres no way it could keep up!
More and more stones flew out of him, he told Ruanfu to smash up a mountain and due to the time difference, it was done almost instantly. They poured out in an endless tide, releasing the next stone as soon as the last one had fallen far enough for gravity to make room for it. The Blacksilver Knight had to push off the stones that he released beneath them, hopping upwards to stay nearby the Heart of Eruption. Sage kept on pulling rocks out and dropping them nearby wasnt enough so the Knight got involved, using its one good arm to hurl them into the distance. Even then, that wasnt enough to keep up and the Soul Clone flew out to join in, using the Third Hand technique to hurl the rocks out into the lava lake.
For just a few seconds Sage didnt throw out any rocks, building up some Qi and then releasing a flood of rocks once they reached the surface of the lake. The Knight pushed off the falling stones and halted its dive in time to watch the boulders plopping into the lava again. The increased depth put a hamper in their plans, but for Sage it just meant it would take longer. Just give up, little jewel. This stupid turtle is not deserving of you.
The Knight returned to its previous pattern, hopping off one stone and then tossing the other at the lava spouts to keep them from reforming properly. They engaged in an aerial battle in a room of stone and fire, but the Heart of Eruption didnt have any more tricks. It had already blown off one of the Blacksilver Knights' arms, but its other two defensive mechanisms were defeated. One of them was constantly getting interrupted, and the other was expended. Sage didnt know if the Heart of Eruption could detonate like it did last time, but in order to test that again he had to find the obsidian heart again.
The lake slowly filled up once more, and the island appeared once more. It continued to slowly increase in size and the Knight leapt down to it. Now on solid ground, it didnt have to keep leaping off stones and threw every one he brought out. The island didnt grow as quickly, but the stone chutes were devastated. Not just wrecking the ends as they reformed, the Knight started targeting the support pillars and the connections to the walls, causing the stone slides to start falling down, one by one. As the island grew larger, the heat in the chamber started to drop, which was good because the Blacksilver Knight was only half the size it started at. The interval between stones had also lengthened, because Sage had to redirect energy into regenerating the Blacksilver Knight.
There was only one problem. Where was the Heart of Eruption? With the island covering where that obsidian core had been, he was forced to start excavating. He had to slowly make the island large enough to become a mound, and then the Soul Clone came out to psychically smash the rocky ground up. He was worried there would be lava just beneath the surface, with the Heart of Eruption just waiting to melt him, but there wasnt. Bashing their way into the ground, he found the piece of heart shaped obsidian just where it had been, but now completely surrounded by rock. It was in a perfectly spherical chamber, which had molten lava at the bottom of it.
Trying to burn yourself out again, huh? Too bad. Now be a good little jewel and come with me.
