Chapter 1603: Chapter 925: The Thing from the Depths of the Earth_1 Chapter 1603: Chapter 925: The Thing from the Depths of the Earth_1 “At that time, as a subordinate who put forth all their efforts to protect His Majesty King Roy, I witnessed the sharp axe blade whistling towards me, sparking a series of blinding flashes on my blood-soaked white armor, as chilling and penetrative as the scythe of the death.”

The White Knight’s calm voice began to falter and become unstable.

“In the end, the axe blade roared as it successfully tore through the armor, its powerful force ripping through flesh and shattering bones until it sent me flying.”

“Even today, I still vividly remember the ferocious face of my opponent filled with manic laughter, as well as King Roy’s eyes filled with blood and his outstretched hand.”

“Later, as I lay heavily on the ground, darkness loomed in front of me, and I nearly lost all my senses as the sounds of intense combat filled with wailing and manic laughter around me gradually faded away, as if there were layers and layers of doors separating me from them.”

The White Knight’s voice revealed a tinge of weakness as he continued to recount the past from a thousand years ago.

“I don’t know how much time passed, but just when I felt the last door was about to close and everything was about to vanish into nothingness, a sudden loud noise awakened me from the darkness.”

“I tried my best to lift my heavy eyelids and found that the surroundings had become like erupting volcanic vents, constantly gushing lava from the depths of the earth, slow and deadly.”

“The flowing lava was like huge, writhing red snakes, soon covering the palace gardens, shattered fountains, broken sword blades, and corpses of soldiers, until it reached in front of me.”

“The scorching heat near to me twisted the air, and the extreme heat that rushed into my face seemed like it could melt everything, reminding me of the wide-open mouth of a red snake.”

“But as I was already seriously injured and on the brink of death, I couldn’t move my body at all.”

At this point, the White Knight paused and took a deep breath, seemingly adjusting his emotions.

Seizing this opportunity, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.

During his second visit to the ruins of Loren Royal City, Leo Ray had learned through the story told by Mason Banks’ ancestor, Old Shane, about what had happened.

At that time, the besieged Loren Royal City was forced to use a special magic conversion technique from the Dwarf Clan that allowed them to resist the allies’ onslaught for half a year by utilizing an Absolute Defense Barrier covering the city.

The core of this special magic conversion method was to take advantage of the raging lava deep beneath the earth’s surface, providing a constant supply of energy.

However, this conversion technique, albeit effective, was extremely unstable.

Eventually, cunning enemies exploited this instability by injecting large amounts of magic power into the lava deep underground, causing the magic conversion barrier to suddenly overload.

This in turn triggered a massive explosion, destroying a quarter of the city along with its walls and allowing the enemy forces to enter Loren Royal City without any hindrance.

Thinking of this, Leo Ray nodded slightly and then asked, “White Knight, that being said, the explosion you witnessed must have been the aftershock of the initial massive explosion, right?”

“Indeed, Lord, those lavas filled with disorderly and violent power were definitely not the products of magic.”

The White Knight nodded and replied, “But even the massive explosion did not cause lava to flow out directly, as the depths of the earth were too far from the surface. Only the tumultuous magic storm resulting from the explosion instantly turned the city into ruins.”

“That’s true, an explosion in the depths of the earth would not directly impact the surface. If it really did, not to mention a city, this vast land would have ceased to exist.”

Jasper Richardson nodded thoughtfully and added, “The distance between the magma layer and the surface is like an unreachable sky or abyss, separated by a hard barrier that even Tier 5 Earth Magic Instructors cannot break through, let alone reaching directly.”

“It is said that only Tier 6 Earth Magic Instructors and skillful digging Dwarves can barely touch the depths of the lava.”

Jasper Richardson furrowed her brows and wondered, “And there are no volcanoes near Loren Royal City, so logically, the magma deep underground should not flow to the surface.”

“You’re right, but at that time, I was already dying and had almost stopped thinking, having no energy left to think about such things, until I saw that unforgettable scene.”

The White Knight nodded at Jasper Richardson and then turned back to Leo Ray, continuing to recount the situation at that time.

“Lord, just as the burning lava was about to touch me, I was astonished to find that the deep red molten lava flow suddenly turned deep blue, instantly crystallized, and formed a head-sized deep-blue orb-like object that hovered before me.”

“It seemed to be a creature with no facial features, much like an eyeball or an octopus-like demon beast without tentacles, with the deep blue energy inside it constantly surging, truly wondrous.”

“As the unknown creature became solid, it curiously stared at me, but I immediately felt a piercing coldness, as if the last drop of blood in my body had frozen in an instant.”
