Chapter 61: • Vulcan Path

Streams of molten magma snaked through the terrain, and casted an ominous crimson on the surroundings. Waves of heat washed over them relentlessly and the sense of danger was well... undeniable.

Smoke billowed from cracks in the earth, obscuring their vision and adding to the oppressive atmosphere of the place. And even the sky above was suffering from the hideousness of this path.

Swirling masses of clouds tinged with the fiery hues of the molten rivers below. Thunder rumbled in the distance, and mountains erupted with bubbles of magma.
