The entire process looked remarkably smooth, while the magma within the volcano seemed inexhaustible, as though it intended to drain every last drop of lava from underground.
But what moved Nahama was not the overwhelming scale of the lava, nor Sakazuki's improved control over it, but the invisible fluctuations radiating from the lava.
