Chapter 642

"This is really... speak of the devil!"

Facing such a scene, even Sister Yanfei, who was known for being optimistic and cheerful, couldn't muster any energy and twitched the corners of her mouth.

The others naturally noticed the sudden change and simultaneously looked at the restless, pitch-black mountain range with vigilance.

They saw that the bare mountains, which had almost no vegetation, were covered in fire-red blood lines and were becoming increasingly irritable.

Vaguely, the settled giant rocks began to tremble, and the constant rumbling sound gradually grew stronger, even causing the ground to begin to vibrate.

In just a short time, this change escalated to a state that caught everyone off guard.

At a certain moment, the vibrating mountains erupted with a bang after a momentary pause; scalding flames and lava spewed out from the mountain passes continuously, flowing down along the curves of the mountains.

Not only that, but giant rocks accompanying the eruption also fell from the sky, smashing randomly in all directions.

"Are you kidding me, what kind of ghost place is this?!"

Arataki Itto below was stunned; the temperature around them had suddenly risen again.

That scalding lava, one look and he knew it couldn't be touched, otherwise the outcome would likely be no better.

"Everyone, retreat quickly!"

Miss Yelan immediately called for everyone to withdraw along the road they had come from.

The road ahead had been completely blocked by the mountains; moving forward was almost impossible.

Lumine hesitated: "But behind..."

If she remembered correctly, dodging the giant waves just now was only the first difficulty; there were still a large number of monsters following behind. If they turned back now, they would definitely run into them head-on.

Sister Yanfei took over the conversation and smiled bitterly: "No choice, we have to make some trade-offs."

As soon as she finished speaking, the group was just about to turn back when they saw the water marsh world, now free from the shroud of black mist, reveal its true form.

The giant waves from earlier had already disappeared without a trace, but an almost boundless pitch-black tide was surging toward them.

The hideous monsters in the first row had even come into view, less than a mile away from the volcanic land.

"It's over, caught between the front and back, we can't run!" Paimon hid dejectedly behind her owner Lumine, secretly praying for that guy Luo Li to hurry over.

Letting out a soft breath, Sister Yanfei opened her codex and focused her gaze entirely on the monster horde behind them.

In any case, compared to a volcanic eruption comparable to a natural disaster, these monsters were a bit easier to deal with.

Just as they were standing by in full readiness, a dazzling radiance that was hard to look at suddenly erupted from the volcanic mountain range behind them.

Dozens of volcanic craters formed a shocking formation, surrounding each other, as if they were incantations to break some kind of seal, or keys to awaken some existence.

The crimson light dyed the gray sky magnificently, and countless eerie runes emerged, reflecting the slender figure standing in the midst of it like blood droplets.

Behind her, wings of flame that threatened to cover the sky spread out, like a legendary phoenix reborn from the fire.

She was stained with flames all over, wearing a mask that seemed to be inlaid with cloud patterns, and two blood-red pupils devoid of any sanity bloomed from her eyes, filled only with ferocity and brutality, and a desire to destroy all things.
