Despite the monsters lurking in the shadows, Adam and Risha stayed on the path. As they moved forward, the light became less and less, and the auras became more and more numerous.
But, that didn't stop them from reaching the spacious lake. The dark layer of thick magma was barely recognizable, and only the bright lava flowing along the cracks helped them see the boundaries.
Unlike Adam who was staring intently into the middle of the lake, Risha was looking around, still afraid they might be attacked at any moment.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
A slight shiver passed across the surface of the lake as a massive object rose from the thick lava. Two amber eyes with vertical pupils slowly opened, while light ran across the hard scales of the huge serpent.
In a heartbeat, Risha slipped her hand into her pocket, clutching the Revelation Ring tightly. She was ready for battle, all she needed to do was summon her Nexus.
But... before the axe could appear in her hand, Risha froze.
