Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 1022 - 174: Molten Fire Venerable

The Molten Lava Fire Lord’s glare was harsh, and when it saw the true face of the intruder bothering it, its already unattractive face twisted even more.

"A lowly dark magic plant, daring to disturb the Guardian’s peace, I will shatter you into pieces," the Molten Lava Giant, created with the power of volcanic lava, had a quirky temper and was prone to rage.

Its arms moved with a crackling sound, quickly condensing a blazing rock spear, ready to hurl it at the insolent dark magic plant.

But at that moment, a magical wave emitted from the dark magic plant’s body, making even the Molten Lava Lord shiver.

This was the magical wave of the Summoning Demon Hand.

The Molten Lava Lord was created by the first Pope, fused with the power of the Summoning Demon Hand.

Like seeing a long-lost relative, fiery tears rolled down from the Molten Lava Lord’s eyes.

"Master, you’ve finally returned. Little Fire has waited for you for thousands of years!"

Little Fire...

Yun Sheng and the Anemone King, nestled within the Anemone King’s tentacles, couldn’t help but shudder when they heard a nearly ten-meter-tall Molten Lava Lord refer to itself as "Little Fire."

"I’m sorry, I’m not your master. I just happen to possess the Summoning Demon Hand and encountered your awakening," Yun Sheng coughed a few times.

Seeing the Molten Lava Lord about to get angry earlier, Yun Sheng, in a hurry, recalled the Summoning Demon Hand.

The Molten Lava Lord was commanded to guard the Volcano Seal, recognizing no relatives except the first Summon Emperor.

The Summoning Demon Hand inside the Beast Language Ring was the right hand of the first Summon Emperor, containing the first Summon Emperor’s aura, which might pacify the Molten Lava Lord. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

With a mindset of just trying, Yun Sheng used the Summoning Demon Hand. Unexpectedly, the Molten Lava Lord, feeling the familiar aura of the Summoning Demon Hand, broke into tears, looking as though it wanted to hug Yun Sheng and cry.

"No, you are indeed Little Fire’s master. The first master said that if one day the Summoning Demon Hand acknowledges a new master, that person would be Little Fire’s new master. Noble master, please forgive Little Fire’s rashness. Earlier, Little Fire mistakenly thought you were in league with that evil Shark-man to destroy the Volcano Seal," the Molten Lava Lord’s emotions stabilized but remained excited.

Guarding the Volcano Seal alone for many years, it was lonely, always wishing for someone to talk to, but its ugly appearance and powerful strength deterred even the Penglai Sea’s sea beasts from venturing to these deep waters.

For thousands of years, the Molten Lava Lord drifted underwater, half asleep, half awake.

After soothing the Molten Lava Lord, Yun Sheng inquired about the Shark-man and the Volcano Seal.

In a rough voice, the Molten Lava Lord explained the situation of the Volcano Seal and the Shark-man to Yun Sheng.

The Molten Lava Lord was the Guardian Beast of the Volcano Seal.

This was known throughout the Summoning Court, though few knew the Molten Lava Lord’s hiding place.

For thousands of years, the Summoning Court believed it slept beneath the Volcano Lake.

So, for many years, no one disturbed the Molten Lava Lord.

But about fifty years ago, a powerful Shark-man intruded into this area.

The Shark-man was cunning, initially disguising as a shark, wandering around the deep sea, occasionally chatting with the Molten Lava Lord.

The Molten Lava Lord, lonely and friendless over the years, naturally lacked vigilance towards this intruder. But the Shark-man’s witty words and extensive knowledge won the Molten Lava Lord’s favor.

In such back-and-forth, the Shark-man gradually earned the Molten Lava Lord’s trust over about a decade.

The Molten Lava Lord talked to him about everything, even revealing the weaknesses of the Volcano Seal and its own blind spots in attacks.

Once the Shark-man learned about the Volcano Seal, he soon revealed his true colors.

He used powerful Frozen Magic, a great nemesis to the Fire Element Guardian Beast, the Molten Lava Giant.

Thus came the earlier scene where the Shark-man used the Ice Peak Trident to attack the Volcano Seal and the Molten Lava Lord.

Upon discovering the Shark-man’s true nature, the Molten Lava Lord was furious, itching to kill the treacherous Shark-man.

However, the Shark-man not only wielded magic but was also swift in escape.

Every time he successfully damaged the Volcano Seal, he would promptly escape, making it impossible for the Molten Lava Giant to catch him.

Though the Volcano Seal’s magical power was strong, it could not withstand many Frozen Magic attacks. Recently, the color of the Volcano Seal has dimmed, and the Molten Lava Lord has weakened.

"You mean that over the past few decades, the Fishman has been coming back constantly to damage the Volcano Seal?" Yun Sheng was astonished.

"Yes, Little Fire failed to heed the old master’s instructions, trusting a deceitful villain, leading to the Volcano Seal’s current state," the Molten Lava Giant looked regretful.

As the Guardian Beast of the Volcano, the Molten Lava Giant was intertwined with the Volcano Seal; if the Volcano Seal were destroyed, it would eventually disappear as well.

The Molten Lava Lord had already sensed its life could dissipate at any moment. Once the Volcano Seal collapsed, the volcano within Fire Island would also erupt any time.

Upon learning this news, Yun Sheng was also taken aback.

A volcano sealed for thousands of years, if erupted, would annihilate not just the Summoning Court but the entire Penglai Country.

Yun Sheng was frightened by this terrible thought but also realized that the purpose of the Summoning Court’s Summoner was likely to destroy the Volcano Seal, thus achieving the destruction of the Summoning Court and Penglai Country.

For nearly fifty years, the Shark-man had been hidden in the Summoning Court as the main Summoner.

While he held significant power in the Summoning Court, he intermittently went into the deep sea to damage the Volcano Seal, a sinister plan and a malicious intent!

Yun Sheng pondered and concluded that this person must be a spy.

This mysterious main Summoner was likely a spy from other forces, most probably the Eight Desolate Beast Clan.

Having clarified the abnormalities with the Volcano Seal and the potential eruption, the water beast mass death incidents in the Demon Beast Forest could also be explained.

The demon beasts in the Demon Beast Forest, especially those living near the Volcano Lake, probably sensed the climate change.

Yun Sheng recalled hearing in her past life that before significant geological disasters like volcanic eruptions or earthquakes, sensitive animals living locally would display unusual behavior, like suicide.

The Demon Beast Forest’s demon beasts were likely the same, sensing danger and making almost suicidal actions in panic.

By appeasing the beasts’ emotions, Yun Sheng believed the mysterious beast death incidents could also be resolved. However, before addressing the beasts’ deaths, Yun Sheng had to find a way to solve the Volcano Seal issue.
