Suddenly.
The surface of the boiling red magma swelled upward as a whole, rising higher and higher. When it reached a height of ten meters, a faint sound like a bursting bubble rang out. The next moment—
With a deafening boom, the magma within the Volcanic Crater shot into the sky, rising more than a hundred meters high. A massive black cloud rapidly formed overhead, spanning dozens of kilometers. The pitch-black sky should have plunged the surrounding world into darkness, but the red magma illuminated everything in crimson.
Thunder rumbled within the clouds, and lightning streaked across the sky like spiderwebs. Even Rednight had to keep his distance from such terrifying power. Just as he was about to contact Lu Yang, a hundred-meter-tall red flaming giant emerged from the surging magma.
Its head alone was nearly ten meters long, and its features vaguely resembled Lu Yang's. When the flaming giant stepped out of the magma and onto the rocks at the edge of the Volcanic Crater, the rocks collapsed, and magma burst forth like a ruptured dam.
"Roar~!"
The flaming giant let out a furious roar, and the magma from dozens of nearby volcanoes seemed to answer its call, erupting wildly at the same time. In an instant, the world turned completely red.
Even more terrifyingly, when the flaming giant spread its arms, the black clouds in the sky instantly turned scarlet. Rednight looked up and saw hundreds of molten fireballs, each more than twenty meters in diameter, appear within the clouds above the giant's head.
A piercing whistle tore through the air as hundreds of fireballs streaked diagonally toward Dan City's main urban district several kilometers away. When the first molten fireball landed, it raised a mushroom-shaped cloud of flame. Then, hundreds more fireballs crashed into the same area.
