"Hahaha!"
Looking at the scene before him, everything was just as it had been back then. No surprises, and no ambush.
Moryo finally laughed out loud without restraint.
"Hahaha! My body! My power!"
Following Yomi's method, Moryo rapidly formed hand seals.
Another string of obscure, incomprehensible incantations was shouted out.
The entire cavern began to shake. The surrounding walls gave off cracking sounds, and countless rocks fell from above.
At the center of the lava, within the magic formation, a doorway suddenly opened. Black-purple light shot into the sky, spreading wildly in every direction and covering the entire mountain cave.
