Chapter 80: Magma

Riku and Emma decided to get back in the Assima forest so they could find the materials they needed to create a gun powder.

__

In just a blink of an eye, they effortlessly reached their destination, thanks to his [Fly] ability. But this time, they weren't landed on the forest's entrance as they were heading to the place where the volcano existed.

Yes! Riku was aiming for the Sulfur first before the others. Why? He was just simply aware that the monsters in this forest were still active. So if he rushed there to get potassium nitrate, there's a high chance the monsters would be surrounded by them.

Rawr! Rawr! Rawr!

Under them, the entire forest was enveloped by the loud groan of the monsters. It seemed their scent was spreading in the forest and the main reason why the monsters started to be aggressive.

"Do you hear that, Emma? What do you think which monster that sound came from?" While looking straight and the cold breeze touching on his face, he asked her in a serious tone. It appeared, he was starting to teach her as he promised.

She looked at his face, then narrowly nodded her head at him as she was way confident to answer his question. "Of course, I spent several years staying inside the forest. I could say what kind of monster is that, and it's the wolves."

Somehow, he was impressed with her answer. But the followed up question was about to come. "Well, you're right. Yet, you could tell me what that monster could do?"

"I fought them a couple of times. This is a type of monster who had high agility that can kill a certain person in just the blink of an eye. Aside from that, their claws are dangerous since those things can slice a bone even concrete metal." She answered him without stuttering. Also, it was the end of her observation within the wolves.

Well, Emma described the exact thing that was inside his mind. Having an experience of that monster would have been a big factor since she knows how it would move, or easy to say, she had an idea how she was going to defeat this monster. However, there was a missing part in her knowledge and that was the ability or the skill possessed into it.

"There's no doubt that you're a real adventurer in this world. But the thing here, you have no idea about the power they could give. Just like [Crimson bite] and [Thorn thunder]." He spits out of his mouth, seeing that they were near to reach the volcano.

As usual, this was the first time she heard these words, didn't determine what are the purposes of that? Or how do they exactly work?

"Why are you always saying some words that I couldn't understand? Do you even notice? That I keep asking what is the meaning of that?" Her eyes were softened after seeing Riku's eyes were seriously looking at her.

"Why are you complaining? I thought you want to learn something from me?" He said in a deep tone.

"Sorry about that, Riku, I'm just confused with your terms. And yes! I really wanted to know more about the monsters that I would fight in the future." She apologized to him along with a broad smile on her face, knowing Riku could not take mad at her for too long.

He deeply sighed, then slightly raised his shoulders. "Fine. Those skills are the main power of that wolf rather say dire wolf. That is the process when the monster would use the mana pool inside its body and create a destructive power that could kill a certain person." He responded nonchalantly, then describe how those skills worked.

First, the [Crimson bite] was the skill when the dire wolves were using their fangs to inflict high damage. But the thing here was those monsters were utilizing magical power to sharpen their fangs, at the same time, increase their size by twenty centimeters. The second skill, [Thorn Thunder], was the skill where the monsters will transfer their magical power into their horn and create an electric shock. On top of that, that electric current would increase the monster's speed.

She was impressed with how Riku described those skills to her and what would happen when those skills struck them. "You're truly amazing, Riku. Sometimes I wonder if there's something that you didn't know in this world?" She had no idea how she was going to express her reaction right now.

"That's just a first monster, Emma, so you must memorize their skills, okay? The next lesson will happen once we have met them in this expedition." Since it was hard for him to describe the monster when he couldn't see, he decided to stop. But the true reason here is they have already reached the summit of the volcano, planning to land in the lower portion.

He stopped his black wings from spreading, or to be exact, he was using his wings to stabilize his landing and avoid a worst-case scenario that might happen.

"We are here, Emma." He said in a serious tone while his feet were touching the surface producing mild heat. "This volcano is active, I'm sure of that after seeing it from above. Well, I don't think it would strike right now."

To describe what his eyes were seeing, the whole place was surrounded by thick smoke and fogs. So it means, it was hard for them to notice the things in front of them.

"Stick with me, Emma. Since we didn't know when the monsters would attack us again." He advised since he doesn't want to repeat the same mistake that happened in the Mystical cave. Where the monsters suddenly occurred and looked that someone summoned them.

Even though some of the areas were visible for Emma because of her sharp eyes and also the too much experience she had in this type of situation. She decided to listen to him so they could protect each other from the sneak attack. "Yes, Riku, I'll do that. But first thing first, what is the outward appearance of the materials we are looking for?"

He was slowly rubbing his chin, recalling the Sulfur image. "It looks like a crystal but it had a yellow color." He replied and added. "We need to get higher, Emma, come on!"

At this point, she had an idea of the item they have needed to build gun power. So without wasting too much of their time, she headed first as she could easily detect if there was a monster that would approach them. "Just stay in my behind, Riku. You are my master, but my senses are greater than you have."

He admitted that as he didn't know to detect the magical aura that spreading all over the place. Or to be more simple, Emma was just using her ability to feel the monster's magical power.

"No worries, do what you want. I suggest slowing down your pace since we are not in hurry." He responded in a deep tone.

Two of them continued strolling in the active volcano surface. While walking there sweats came out all over his body as they were getting closer to the volcano's mouth. Aside from that, they have to move surely just to avoid the chance that this volcano released magma.

Flop! Flop! Flop!

As soon they were getting closer and closer, they wearing the sound of magma boiling under them, showing how dangerous this thing was.

Crack!

And all of a sudden, both of them stopped as Emma stepped something under her feet. So she took it and smells it. "It doesn't have any kind of smell."

"Oi! Emma! That's the sulfur we are looking for! Where did you get that?" He asked her in a high as he didn't realize that he made it several meters away from Emma.

She pointed her index finger under her without making any second. "Here-" She unexpectedly paused after seeing the numerous sulfur were lying on the surface.

Riku walked closer to her, eventually knelt to the surface to double-check if these were the materials they were looking for. "This is sulfur, Emma, I think the date today is going to our side."

"Hmm if this is an item, I'm going to get it and put it inside the pouch." She replied, then started to pick up the sulfur.

They took several minutes before they finished collecting the right amount of Sulfur needed for the gun power. "Here it goes, Riku, that's an easy job." She was clapping her hands to remove the yellows dust remained on his hands.

Boom!

Yet, the broad smile on her face easily faded away as there was a strong explosion that happened next to them. The explosion was strong enough to blow them away and lost their consciousness for a couple of seconds.

"Hey, Emma! What jus happen there-?" He didn't continue his world as he saw the monster hiding the thick smoke. "This is bad, the magma monsters are heading to our place!"
