Chapter 18: You Dare Show Your Blood Bar In Front of Me?
Scorching lava dripped down from Guldons body and splashed into the volcano, sending magma flying several meters high.
Guldons appearance shrouded the volcanic sky in burning black clouds, with specks of fiery ash floating in the air.
After being exposed to intense heat for a prolonged time, the hard armor on its body took on a dazzling crimson glow.
Its thousands of fangs seemed ready to devour everything on the volcano.
The beast roared to the heavens, making even Mount Vesuvius itself tremble.
Veega! Establish a link with me!
What? Establish a link? Are you kidding? Dont tell me you really want to fight it?
I dont want to die!
Veega flew in the air, shrieking at Victor.
Beyond distraught, if only she had known earlier that Victor was so insane, she would never have made a contract with him even if it killed her.
One of these days, following Victor could very well get her killed for good, and forget about being reborn!
Forget it!
Weve already come this far, I guess theres no other way if I dont establish contact with you.
Reluctantly, Veega reached out a wing and touched Victors forehead.
Instantly, a clearer connection appeared in Victors mind.
Establishing link with evil god Habbie, syncing
Sync successful
Victor saw a raven icon appear under his status bar, immediately realizing the link was successfully established.
Why dont you take this chance while were linked to enhance your teleportation magic and just get out of here! Dont blame me for not warning you!
Veega flew around him, chattering nonstop by his ear.
Victor paid no mind to Veegas suggestions to flee, feeling excited instead as the scorching heat from the crater washed over him.
Run?
Victors face revealed an arrogant smile. Veega thought he must have lost his mind.
But Victor wasnt crazy at all. He had been wanting to challenge this Calamity for a while now.
Ever since he heard the name Mount Vesuvius, he knew he had to come here.
It was exactly as he imagined the Furnace Beast Guldon was sealed at the lowest level of the volcanic crater.
This was a separate dimension. No matter how large-scale a battle they waged here, it would barely affect the outside world.
It was a natural fighting pit.
After Guldon was first defeated, it was re-sealed in this space, becoming something like an instance for players to challenge.
So the Guldon sealed here now was not much stronger than the one in the instance.
Victor looked at the sky-blotting beast before him yet remained very confident.
He didnt know how many times he had defeated this guy already.
And now, he was using Victors even more powerful body, with skills superior by a notch.
Additionally, he had a cheat like Veega.
There was no lie in what he said Veega was an indispensable powerhouse assisting Victor.
Infinite mana, this cheat was advantageous beyond compare no matter which class used it, even more so for a mage.
Veegas single eye began glowing with a faint blue light. Victor felt his body filling up with magic power like a vast ocean, watching his mana value in the status bar shoot up crazily.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Victor knew this was the maximum mana this game could withstand.

With this much magic power, things would go smoothly.
She immediately recalled that Victor had said he needed these crystals to craft magic items, and became a bit concerned.
Everyone, remember to collect these crystals whenever you encounter monsters like this!
She held up the red crystal to let the knights memorize its appearance.
Yes!
The knights responded in unison.
After all, Victor had helped her a lot last night, so she didnt want to owe him and thought to help collect some materials for him.
Rumbling sounds came from the mountain peak, travelling to every knights ears.
Gwen suddenly looked up towards the crater, and saw a trail of black smoke slowly rising from the peak.
An astonishing roar suddenly rang out from the summit, shaking heaven and earth.
She looked seriously towards the peak and asked:
Did you all..hear that? That titanic roar?
Gwen couldnt be certain herself, it just sounded like a massive roar.
The knights looked at each other and mutually shook their heads.
Knight Commander, you must have misheard. It was probably just the noise of ash erupting from the volcano.
Hearing his words, Gwen shook her head, disagreeing. In her heart she thought:
Could it be that only I can hear it?
Just what is that thing?
As Gwen was pondering, a flash of insight suddenly came to her mind.
Victor had said he was going to the crater.
Could he have discovered something over there?
All knights! Hurry to the volcanic crater! Search for Victor!
Receiving the order, the knights quickly organized themselves and uniformly marched towards the crater.
But after circling the crater, the knights didnt find anything.
They told Gwen that the surroundings were becoming hotter and hotter, with the temperature already abnormally high.
Spread out and search!
Seeing this, Gwen immediately ordered them to split into five teams to look for Victor.
After a long time, the knights gradually returned, each one tired and out of breath, drenched in sweat.
Knight Commander! The five teams didnt see a single person! The horses cant take the heat anymore and are resting halfway up the mountain.
Sweat covering her forehead, Gwen was also feeling somewhat dizzy. Why had this volcano suddenly become so scorching?
Could this damned volcano really erupt?
She shook her head, lacking the extra strength to think further.
Whether it was the horses or the knights, they had all gradually become unable to withstand the rising temperature, and could only descend the mountain to rest.
Even with the special fire-resistant enchantment on her armor, she still found the heat extremely hard to endure.
Gwen had just been about to lead the knights away when she saw a pillar of fire suddenly spray towards her from the crater.
Everybody get down!
Hearing the order, the knights didnt understand why but nimbly dropped to the ground, with even the horses obediently kneeling at the mountains waist.
Gwen turned her head. The fire pillar gradually dissipated into specks of sparks that fell to the earth. The astonishing heat made everyone feel stifled beyond compare, even making it feel like their airways were burning when breathing, not very smooth.
The crater? How could it erupt something like this?
The more Gwen thought about it, the more puzzled she became. But there was no time for her to ponder any further right now.
The volcano is extremely likely to erupt, hurry and evacuate the townspeople below the mountain!
She waved her hand to issue the order, and the knights hurriedly descended the mountain towards the town.
Watching the increasingly restless volcano, Gwens heart was filled with worry:
Victorjust where did you go!?
