Wizard's Journey

Chapter 241 The Shadow Catastrophe (19)

Two days later.

At the summit of the sacred mountain of the Fire Domain, the colossal shadow of a blood-red, cold, metallic spatial fortress, ten thousand meters in diameter, was cast upon the ground, obscuring the light of the sun that never sets in the sky.

Hundreds of thousands of lava giants, some several meters or even tens of meters tall, took flight, forming a boiling mass of flames.

Giant lava dragons, each hundreds of meters long, twisted their massive bodies and coldly stared ahead at the group of uninvited guests who had intruded into the sacred land of the Fire Domain. The aura of thick, bloody moss permeated the air.

"Great people of the Lava Giant race, we are wizards from the wizarding world, who have come to this world to spread the light of civilization."

The Holy Mark Wizards of Whispering Secrets, Tomb Words, and Tomb Whispers stood side by side, while tens of thousands of Light Wizard Legions and Dark Wizard Legions flew freely in the sky.

The Lava Giant of Nine Lava Mountains did not appear.

Compared to the lava giants, the wizards, except for a very few enormous soul slaves, were pitifully small in stature.

The leader of the lava giants in front of the hundreds of thousands of lava giants was a lava giant that was fifty meters tall. Its huge body was formed by the aggregation of the soul of the natural elements in this fire domain, and the steaming fire waves were as high as seventy or eighty meters, surging and sweeping outwards.

This is the leader of the remaining Lava Giants in the Shadow Mystery world, the King of Lava Giants.

The Lava Giant King's fiery eyes were fixed on the three Saint-Stigmata Wizards, somewhat incredulous. Three World Lords?!

However, at this moment, atop the sacred mountain of the Fire Domain, the King of Lava Giants, relying on the support of the souls of natural elements, also possessed the power of a level four creature.

"Proclaim the light of civilization? Hmph! The great Lava Giant race has no need to accept the will of the wizards. What benefit can wizard civilization bring to our great Lava Giant race?"

The King of Lava Giants roared, and hundreds of thousands of lava giants shouted in unison as he rose to his feet.

As the Holy Mark Wizard listened intently to the whispered words, he spread his illusory emerald wings and took flight, his robes fluttering. The voice of his soul was melodious and incredibly "sincere."

"The Wizard Civilization is the only civilization discovered among the tens of thousands of world clusters. For nearly three eras, it has directly and indirectly ruled countless large and small worlds. Obeying the will of the great Wizard Civilization is the only choice for the intelligent beings in this world cluster."

After speaking, the Holy Mark Wizard continued, "As for the benefits, the Lava Giant race will receive the support of the Wizarding Civilization and will once again become the rulers of this wonderful world, changing the Amonro World to the Fire Crystal World! From then on, the Lava Giant race only needs to obey the will of the great Wizard to freely travel to any place in this world, without having to live in this tiny place! They can live with dignity, die with dignity, and realize the historical legacy of the great Lava Giant race."

A great uproar ensued as many lava giants stared in astonishment at the holy-marked wizard listening to his whispered secrets, their voices clamoring amongst themselves.

To regain their status as rulers of this world is an unwavering ideal of the remaining lava giants, and the very meaning of their life's struggle.

For countless years, the lava giants, forced to hide in the Sanctuary, could only eke out a living, repeatedly attacked by Amonro in an attempt to completely annihilate and wipe out everything here.

However, the Lava Giants were unable to retaliate, let alone break through the mysterious hurricane seal outside the Holy Land.

The Lava Giants have sacrificed so much over the years for survival and for their dreams.

"Obey the will of the wizard? You mean, to allow the great Lava Giant race to revert to being the rulers of this world, on the condition that they accept the wizard's rule? Our great Lava Giant race will become the wizard's slaves?"

The King of Lava Giants, with a furious voice, roared sinisterly.

The Tomb Whisperer's voice was cold as he suddenly said, "The fundamental rule of the endless world lies in balance. To gain something, you must give something in return. As long as you obey the will of the great wizard, the Lava Giant race will regain its former prosperity."

The Tomb-Slaying Stigmata Wizard, his speckled hairs fluttering, advised, "Besides, the wizarding civilization has its own rules..."

"Roar! Enough! The great Lava Giant race will never submit to any power! You invaders from another world, leave the Holy Land and this world immediately, or you will face the attack of all the Lava Giants in the Holy Land! The great Lava Giant race will never sell its dignity!"

The words of the Lava Giant King seemed to ignite the emotions of hundreds of thousands of lava giants behind him, who roared in unison, spewing waves of fire, and a powerful momentum that suggested an imminent battle.

As a result of this action, the numerous demon hunters facing them formed formations, while the light wizards subtly activated their magic. At the same time, hatches opened one by one at the base of the space fortress, and the space airships were ready to go into battle at any moment.

"Bugatamir, you have no right to make such a decision on behalf of the Lava Giant race! Your actions are leading the great Lava Giant race to destruction."

On one side, there were scorching waves of fire; on the other, there were shadowy mysteries. In the sight of many demon hunter wizards, the mysterious lava giant that had sincerely sought cooperation with the wizards a month ago stepped forward.

The Nine-Metal Mountain, only three meters tall, stared directly at the King of Lava Giants, which was tens of meters high, without backing down.

"Nine Melting Mountain King!"

"How is this possible, Nine Melting Mountain King?"

The lava giants gasped in disbelief, staring in shock at the Nine Lava Mountain King, who was loudly accusing the Lava Giant King. Their initial high morale was shaken by the Nine Lava Mountain King's authority.

"You! Jiu Rongshan, what do you mean by this?"

The Lava Giant King, filled with murderous intent, coldly said, "You dare question my decision?"

King Nine Lava Mountains remained unmoved. Instead, he looked at all the lava giants present and said sincerely from the bottom of his heart, "Great people of the lava giant race, Bugitamir's decision will cause the lava giant race to lose what may be the only chance for revival in millions of years! Perhaps, for everyone present, obeying the will of the wizard is unacceptable, a decision that sells one's soul and dignity. But the world is cruel. If we do not give up some dignity in today's opportunity, then tomorrow we will pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold price for today's foolishness, and may even perish!"

Behind the wizard legion, in an inconspicuous corner, beneath the mask of truth, Grimm's eyes suddenly revealed a gleam of intelligent contemplation.

Green had always thought that those corrupt Amonroes were all fools, and thus he was coerced and lured by the wizards to establish the Shadow Empire, and even once sincerely mocked them.

However, in retrospect, there may be some truly wise individuals among the fallen Amonro who attempted to "save" the Amonro race.

In the face of absolute disparity, attempting to resist will only lead to self-destruction, which is true folly. On the other hand, making necessary compromises can preserve a glimmer of hope and give one a chance to change their fate.

"Roar! Nine Lava Mountains! How dare you spread alarmist rumors before me, harm your entire race, and betray the dignity of the great Lava Giant race! All Lava Giants, heed my command! Attack! Kill this traitor of the Lava Giant race, along with him!"

Enraged to the extreme, the Lava Giant King waved his hand, pointing it at Nine Lava Mountains and numerous demon hunters, causing waves of fire to scatter.

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

Tens of thousands of lava giants obeyed the command of the Lava Giant King and surged toward the Origin Space Fortress, accompanied by the massive bodies of giant blood waterfall lava dragons.

However, a considerable number of lava giants hesitated due to the appearance of the Nine Lava Mountains, and a small portion of them, who seemed to be followers of the Nine Lava Mountains, actually took the initiative to block the other lava giants.

For a time, the Lava Giants were in complete chaos, with less than 40% obeying the Lava Giant King's orders.

"Like throwing an egg against a rock!"

"Overestimating yourself!"

"court death!"

After the three Saint Mark Wizards roared, with a boom, the rolling elemental power was rapidly drawn out and gathered together, instantly transforming into towering elemental giants. They scattered thousands of lava giants from the sky and pressed down on the lava giant king.

"Scatter them!"

Within the Dark Wizard camp, upon receiving the order, numerous Demon Hunter Dark Wizards, like meteors falling from the sky, charged towards the scattered lava giant legion, their wizards shielded by the rolling waves of fire in the Dead Zone.

"A significant proportion of this race possess the souls of natural elements! It seems we must go all out this time to collect as many of these precious resources as possible."

A glint of greed flashed in Green's eyes, who was still in shock.

The other demon hunters who discovered this also became excited, their greed flashing briefly.

The Ming Wizard Legion and the remnant Soul Slave Legion did not launch an attack, seemingly because of the fact that the Lava Giants' side, including the Nine Lava Mountains, did not resist the Lava Giants, and thus they took this opportunity to ease tensions and remain in the rear.
