Chapter 130 Chapter 129-The Dragon Fias Beneath the Lava(2nd update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)
Adam shivered slightly.
A demigod-level creature?
He suddenly wondered if there was something wrong with his hearing.
He must have misheard.
But looking at John's serious gaze, Adam quickly dismissed this assumption.
Galewind must indeed be referring to a demigod-level creature.
"Galewind, are you saying there's a demigod-level creature in the volcano crater at the mountain peak?" Adam asked.
John nodded calmly, "Correct, theoretically, that creature should still be in hibernation. But I suspect it may already be awake…"
Adam was taken aback.
My God, am I really this close to a legendary demigod?
To be honest, Adam didn't have a clear concept of what a demigod-level creature was.
Until now, the most formidable boss he had encountered in Godslayer was the Corrupted Dragon Beyvis from a side quest he had completed.
It was only after he had joined John on this expedition to Sunset Mountain that he had encountered such high-level bosses.
Normally, the highest-level bosses they could meet during team quests were all under level 100 and mostly elite-level bosses.
Encountering lord-level creatures was relatively rare, let alone a demigod-level creature that was still the stuff of legends.
Adam couldn't help but glance around anxiously after hearing John's words.
He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but it felt as if a pair of eyes were watching him from the void.
A shudder ran through him and he stammered, "You can't be serious. If it's a demigod-level boss, would it really let us prance around its territory so brazenly?"
John chuckled lightly, "Didn't I already tell you? It's supposed to be in hibernation and not easily awakened."
"But didn't you just say it might be awake already?"
John nodded, "Indeed, I suspect the corpse on the platform was its handiwork."
Adam was silent for a moment. His eyes lit up as a thought struck him. "Galewind, are you planning to solo that demigod-level boss?" he asked, excitement making his voice shake.
John looked at him curiously, "Why would you think that? The demigod-level creatures in this game are highly intelligent and fully capable of communication. They aren't like those foolish monsters."
Adam finally came to his senses.
Right, who said that demigod-level creatures would necessarily attack them?
These high-level bosses might have an intelligence that could surpass humans.
They could probably avoid conflict if they didn't provoke them intentionally.
Adam scratched his nose awkwardly, "I don't know why, but the moment I heard you were going to find that creature, I thought you were planning to take it down."
John: "..."
Well, aren't these guys full of misconceptions about him?
Do they really see him as some bloodthirsty tyrant who loves to kill?
John waved at the group and then slowly walked towards the mountain peak with Emma, under their puzzled gaze.
The figures of the two became smaller and smaller until they disappeared.
Jeanne leaned closer to Adam, "Guild leader, what are they up to?"
Adam kept a serious face, "Don't ask too many questions. They have their own business to take care of, let's just wait here."
Jeanne pouted her attractive red lips, clearly discontent.
She stared at John's disappearing figure, her gaze gradually turning dreamy.
She couldn't help but think, wouldn't it be nice if she was the girl who was being taken care of by him?
...
Emma's delicate hand was held tightly by John.
The two, step by step, gradually walked towards the still active volcanic crater at the top of the mountain.
The young girl looked back to see the rest of the group had halted and remained where they were, curiosity filled her face.
"Johnny, what are we about to do? Why isn't anyone else coming with us?" she asked.
John responded with a light laugh, "We're going to take care of a small matter. There's no point for them to come along, they'd just be a hindrance."
After a moment of thought, Emma looked a little uncomfortable, "Should I stay with them then? After all, I can't really help you with anything at my current strength level. Wouldn't I just be a burden too?"
A charming smile curved up the corner of John's mouth.
He gently ruffled Emma's hair, "Silly girl, you'll never be a burden to me. Having you by my side only eases my worries. Don't mention it anymore."
Emma latched onto John's arm, her face filled with joy and contentment.
John continued, "Besides, the main reason we're going to the top of the mountain is for you."
"For me? What do you mean?" she was still completely clueless.
John chuckled lightly, "Do you recall, before we left, I mentioned that I'd bring you to undertake a Class Change Quest?"
Furrowing her brows, Emma pondered for a bit before finally remembering, "Oh right, I think you did mention it..."
John lifted his gaze to the smoking volcano, a profound look in his eyes, "Your Class Change Quest, it's inside that volcano..."
With only Emma to consider, John's footsteps were noticeably lighter.
Soon, they reached the summit of the Twin Volcano.
The peak was just a vast cavity with dense smoke pouring out into the sky.
Looking down the edge of the crater, they could see a river of slow-moving, red-hot magma.
John reached out his hand to feel the air.
Just being near the crater, the temperature was already a shocking hundred degrees or so.
One can only imagine the heat of the magma below.
Suddenly, John flashed Emma a brilliant smile, "Girl, dare you to jump in with me?"
Without a second thought, Emma nodded, "Of course! As long as Johnny is with me, I'll brave any dangers."
John roared with laughter. Holding Emma's slim waist, he jumped in, taking a leap of faith into the seething magma.
With the acceleration of gravity, they descended quickly.
Within a few seconds, they were touching the surface of the magma.
Emma's eyes were wide open, staring at the magma before her.
Even at this moment, she didn't feel a hint of fear.
It seemed like as long as she was in John's arms, her courage was boundless.
"Splash!" It was like a giant rock plunging into the sea.
They hit the magma with force, splattering a shower of sparks.
To Emma's surprise, she wasn't melted by the magma, which was hot enough to melt gold and shatter jade.
Instead, she felt a cooling sensation.
It was as though the magma around them had no temperature at all.
Emma looked around in surprise, noticing a thin layer of light blue shield surrounding them.
This fragile-looking barrier was actually strong enough to block out the thousands of degrees of heat.
[Seashield (Divine Talent): A gift from the god of the ocean. When activated, it forms a constant temperature area that's immune to all fire attribute damage...]
Before John had jumped into the volcano, he had already activated the Seashield.
He couldn't even remember at what level he'd unlocked this divine talent.
He'd rarely used it, but in this situation, this seemingly trivial skill turned out to be quite handy.
Applying a slight force beneath his feet, John gradually descended with Emma into the magma.
The deeper they went, the hotter the magma became.
Its red color deepened, turning almost black-red at the end.
After a while of sinking with Emma in his arms, John pulled back his energy and stopped descending.
The two of them just floated in the depths of the magma sea.
Looking straight ahead, John smiled, "Finally found you..."
Emma was currently nestling her head in John's chest.
Hearing John's words, she was a little confused.
Following John's gaze, the sight before her made her gasp.
Good heavens, what was she seeing?
Right in front of them, within the magma, a creature a kilometer long was quietly floating.
The beast had fiery red scales, two horns on its head, and two massive wings tightly attached to its back.
Sharp spines ran down its back, and its long tail just casually trailed behind it.
Its mouth was closed, but it couldn't hide the rows of sharp fangs.
Was this creature... a dragon?!
Emma instinctively rubbed her eyes.
When she had seen a Corrupted Dragon before, she thought it was already a remarkable creature.
But compared to this colossal, sleeping red dragon, the Corrupted Dragon Beyvis felt like an immature dragonling.
The massive dragon just casually lay in the magma, allowing the high-temperature lava to flow slowly over its body.
Not only was the dragon unharmed, but it even seemed to be enjoying it.
It was as if soaking in the magma gave it a sense of comfort.
Without making any moves, John suddenly shifted horizontally, positioning himself right in front of the dragon.
Staring at the dragon's closed eyes, John spoke calmly, "Since we're face to face, don't pretend to sleep anymore. I don't know how you've awoken, but the energy fluctuations inside you can't deceive me. Open your eyes now..."
John waited for a moment, but the dragon remained motionless, as if still engrossed in its dreams.
