I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1082 - Chapter 1082 Chapter 1084 King of Flames_1

Chapter 1082: Chapter 1084: King of Flames_1 Chapter 1082: Chapter 1084: King of Flames_1 Song Jian, riding his spider mount, charged straight into the volcanic region, where molten lava flowed sluggishly everywhere, and the temperature was extremely high. The sky was filled with a thick layer of volcanic ash clouds that hung oppressively low, creating a very suffocating feeling.

Glancing back, he saw a cloud of dust rising behind him. The number of monsters chasing him had probably exceeded a thousand. If they surrounded him, Song Jian feared his only option would be to hide inside Divine Country, waiting for them to destroy the robot Nafiboja before he could return.

“Brace yourself, we’ll break through this area in one fell swoop!” Song Jian said in a low voice, controlling the spider mount to dash swiftly between the volcanoes.

This volcanic region seemed devoid of any monsters, but Song Jian could feel strong bursts of energy fluctuating around him. Clearly, powerful monsters were lurking nearby, which worried him.

However, the spider mount was incredibly fast and had impressive Fire Resistance. Even if its legs plunged into the flowing magma, it wouldn’t be harmed. At this pace, in no more than three days, Song Jian would leave the volcanic region and reach the edge of Scorching Gorge. That place had been searched countless times by adventurers, and no dangerous monsters were left, nor any precious minerals or herbs.

After charging past two dead volcanoes covered in volcanic ash, the number of monsters following Song Jian greatly diminished–from thousands to less than a hundred–and they were still doggedly pursuing him.

Upon inspection, Song Jian noticed that the chasing monsters were of high level, and all were of dominion rank, meaning he had several dozen dominion rank monsters on his tail.

“If I use the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation, I wonder if I can eradicate all these monsters!” Song Jian felt a sudden temptation. After all, if he could really kill all these dominion rank bosses, his level might jump up two levels, not to mention obtaining a huge number of treasures. Dominion rank bosses had a chance to drop epic-level treasures.

It was extremely rare to encounter a dominion rank boss, and coming across even one was a stroke of luck. Now, dozens were chasing him, and Song Jian had the power to annihilate them. It would be a lie to say he wasn’t tempted.

Just as Song Jian’s eyes were fixed on the rear and he was about to make his move, a roaring sound suddenly came from a volcano on his left spewing thick smoke. The ground within a few hundred meters started to shake slightly. All the bosses chasing Song Jian stopped in unison, their faces showing fear, and then turned tail and fled even faster than when they were chasing him.

Song Jian’s heart sank. He could feel an immense presence emanating from that volcano, as if a colossal creature was awakening within.

“Let’s get out of here, quick!” Song Jian controlled the spider mount to turn around, intending to head in a direction away from that volcano. But just then, a gigantic hand emerged from the mouth of the volcano. The hand had only three fingers like those of a wild beast, and was covered in thick wrinkled skin. Its sharp claws glinted like blades.

The giant hand reached for Song Jian as if it were a titanic pillar.

Alarmed, Song Jian could not help but think of jumping off his spider mount to flee into the distance. At that moment, the robot Nafiboja behind him also seemed to sense the danger. Its parts made a “click-clack” sound as they shifted, transforming it back into a humanoid form.

As it resumed its humanoid shape, it tightly grasped Song Jian’s shoulders from behind and shouted, “A King Level boss, a level 120 King Level boss! It has almost stepped into the Legendary Tier, an existence we cannot contend with. We must flee quickly…”

Before he could finish, Song Jian felt his entire body freeze, seemingly bound by a mysterious force. He couldn’t move, and even Soul Wander couldn’t help him escape.

“This is…” Song Jian’s heart sank. He was all too familiar with this sensation because the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation, once activated, would have the same effect. It was a special effect that directly targeted the soul. Against an attack with such an effect, one could only withstand it face on. There was no escaping or dodging.

The world before his eyes went dark as Song Jian saw a claw as large as mountain ranges directly grabbing him and his spider mount; before his eyes was just one of the claw’s fingers. It was then that he saw clearly, among the wrinkles of the massive palm, runes emitting a faint dark glow everywhere–they were like unique tattoos covering the entire massive claw.

“What kind of monster is this, to possess such terrifying power…” Song Jian was scared stiff; a single palm filled the entire mouth of the volcano, so how immense must the body of this King Level monster be?

Click-click-click~

The robot Nafiboja began to reassemble and transform its body, from its original humanoid state to a strange mantis-like appearance, complete with three pairs of wings thin as cicada wings on its back.

Hum~

A slight vibration and the robot Nafiboja flew straight up from the spider mount, gave Song Jian a deep look, and then immediately turned and flew away.

“Damn it, you actually have the ability to fly…” Song Jian’s expression instantly turned ugly; though Nafiboja never explicitly said it couldn’t fly, it always implied to Song Jian by other means that it didn’t possess the ability to fly.

For example, when seeing Song Jian reveal his steel wings, it would always say with a tone of regret, “I’m so envious that you can soar freely in the sky…”

Over time, Song Jian came to believe that Nafiboja simply couldn’t fly. Had he known it could, they would have flown all the way here and probably saved a lot of time.

At this moment, the spider mount let out incessant “squeaks.” With its strength, it had no way of breaking free from the giant claw’s grip. Song Jian, having no choice, lightly touched the back of the spider mount and spread his steel wings, dodging toward the side.

Crack~

A bursting sound followed, and Song Jian turned his head to see that the spider mount he had just acquired was directly crushed by the giant claw into a pool of thick green liquid, slowly trickling down the claw.

Song Jian felt a surge of rage in his heart. You see, this spider mount boasted a powerful devouring attribute and was extremely fast; it was a premium existence among mounts. If cultivated continuously, its future achievements would be boundless, but now it had been crushed to death by this monster, resulting in a heavy loss for Song Jian.

“Damn…” Song Jian couldn’t help but grip the Sky-breaking Sword, wanting to unleash the Thousand Swords Art on this massive arm, but before he could execute it, the giant claw that had just burst the spider mount opened again and pressed down toward the robot Nafiboja.
