Full-Time Magister: Summoning Agumon at the Start

Following the passage inside the mountain, I don't know what height of this mountain we have reached. Hot molten lava began to flow out from the surrounding stone walls of the inner mountain path, and gathered into molten lava streams that flowed slowly along the ravines.

After continuing upstream along the lava stream for a while, Mu Nujiao suddenly said, "Have you noticed that this lava stream seems to be getting wider and wider?"

"Something's not right. Logically, molten lava, like water, should flow downwards and become thinner as you go up." Mo Fan also noticed something was wrong. As they continued upwards, the ravines on both sides were filled with molten lava, and it even overflowed, spilling onto the mountain path where Lin Chen and the others were walking.

"It's alright. Like you said, the lava will always flow downwards. The space below is so big, how could the lava above possibly block our path?" Zhao Manyan said nonchalantly.

"Everyone, head back! Hurry!" Lin Chen suddenly remembered something, shouted, and turned to rush down the mountain path.

Seeing Lin Chen turn and run without the slightest hesitation, everyone followed without question, even though they didn't understand what had happened.

"What happened?!" Zhao Manyan and Zhang Xiaohou, still thinking about the Fire Calamity Fruit, couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, we might be almost at the top of the mountain, it would be such a waste to leave now." Chen Ying couldn't understand either.

"This magma isn't flowing down from top to bottom; it's being poured down from top to bottom," Lin Chen explained to Zhao Manyan and the others as he ran downhill.

"Holy crap, it's really true! This place is completely filled with molten lava!" Zhao Manyan stared at the red carpet formed by molten lava that stretched out in front of them, almost blocking their way back.

Just now, when we passed through here, the lava next to us was a small stream. In such a short time, it has become so full. It seems that Lin Chen was right.

Fortunately, Lin Chen's reminder came in time; if it had been any later, everyone would probably have died from the molten lava.

As Lin Chen and his group continued their descent, they still hadn't reached the bottom. Instead, they discovered that many places had accumulated molten lava like pools of water, and the sound of lava pouring back from behind was becoming increasingly clear. If they were any slower, they might catch up with Lin Chen and his group.

"Twenty! The road ahead is blocked by demons!" Zhang Xiaohou, who was running at the forefront using wind magic, suddenly stopped and cursed.

At this moment, Lin Chen and the others also discovered that the narrow entrance to a wide mountain path below was blocked by a creature covered in flame armor.

The demon seemed unafraid of the lava. It lay there, its two armored heads peeking out, looking at the panicked Lin Chen and the others with a mocking and sinister gaze.

"BlackGatomon, Gatomon, take it down!" Lin Chen shouted.

Immediately, BlackGatomon and Gatomon jumped off Garurumon.

It darted out into the flaming armored monster in the lava.

The monster looked at the two tiny creatures that were attacking it, a mocking smile on its lips, as if it simply did not believe that Gatomon and BlackGatomon could harm it.

However, the monster's smile had barely begun when BlackGatomon and Gatomon rushed in front of it. The two Digimon leaped nimbly, directly over the molten lava in front of them, and appeared above the Flame Armor Monster's head.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

BlackGatomon and Gatomon swooped down and stomped heavily on the head of the Flame Armor Monster. The thick armor on the monster's head cracked under the powerful blow, and cracks appeared on the armor, eventually splitting it open.

Meanwhile, Black Gatomon and Gatomon used the recoil from the Flame Armor Monster's head to land back on the mountain path that was not yet covered by lava.

The fire-armored monster, suddenly struck by heavy damage, stared at the two small, thin figures before it.

A look of terror flashed in its eyes. It didn't know if the creatures in front of it were afraid of fire. If they weren't, it might die a miserable death at their hands.

Just in case, the fire-armored monster sank directly to the bottom of the lava and disappeared in a flash.

After the flaming armored monster disappeared, the ever-expanding pool of lava poured downwards, widening the path ahead considerably.

Lin Chen and his group didn't dare to linger and quickly passed through the narrow opening, rushing downwards.

Finally, Lin Chen and the others arrived at an extremely wide cave at the bottom of the mountain path.

The molten lava continued to pour down from another direction in the cave, clearing out the space where Lin Chen and the others were.

To prevent the molten lava from overflowing towards their hiding place, Zhang Xiaohou and Chen Ying used earth magic to create a rock barrier to block their path.

Zhao Manyan then released a Guangyou-Huabi to reinforce the defenses.

After doing all this, the wolf-fox-clad group, chased by the scorching lava, collapsed onto the ground.

"Lin Chen, thank goodness you're here, otherwise even if we had escaped first..."

"We'll be trapped there by that fire-armored monster," Mo Fan said, panting.

"Fortunately, that demon wasn't stubborn; it ran away after being injured, otherwise, it would have been hard to say what would have happened," Lin Chen said frankly.

As time passed, the molten lava finally showed signs of receding.

The anxiety that had been hanging over Lin Chen and his group, who were hiding in the cave, finally subsided.

Although the cave was relatively large, after a while, there wasn't enough oxygen for everyone to breathe, and the molten lava constantly transmitted intense heat through the mountain walls.

Aside from Lin Chen and Mo Fan, it was also very difficult for everyone else.

"The lava has receded, but let's wait a bit longer. There's not much air coming in from outside, so the lava is probably still slowly flowing downwards," Zhao Manyan said.

They waited for the lava to run dry, and when air began to flow in from the cave's vents, Zhao Manyan, Zhang Xiaohou, and Chen Ying withdrew their magic and returned to the mountain path.

Once back on the mountain path, Lin Chen and the others continued their ascent.

Along the way, they discovered many solidified molten lava stones near the mountain path, as well as many fragments of fire-type spirit seeds.

"Looks like we're in luck. We escaped the molten lava flow and it's time to reap the rewards," Zhang Xiaohou said.

He was right. Unlike before, when they had to deliberately search for spirit seed fragments in the mountain path, now the spirit seed fragments were as easy as picking them up. These spirit seed fragments were simply exposed on the very surface of the molten lava crystals.

And so, amidst the joy of their harvest, Lin Chen and his group emerged from the mountain path and arrived at a dense forest.
