If I’m not mistaken, this passage should be the entrance to the remaining section of the Lava Rock Prison.
"Let’s recover for a while, then save the progress."
"The next sections are estimated to be more dangerous, and we might not be able to continue exploring."
Rogel thought calmly.
He was well aware that with his current strength, reaching this point was already an achievent made through loopholes.
If he encountered a monster that he couldn’t possibly defeat, he’d be out of options.
"If I really can’t proceed, I’ll first take the keys and collect the equipnt from those two cells."
"Without the interference of the Prison Chains, I should be able to fly out instead of taking the stairs."
Rogel thought, and then he sat cross-legged on the ground, starting his visualization recovery.
[You begin visualization inside the hall, and your Spiritual Value starts to recover slowly.]
...
On the Gelin.
Noemi leaned against the railing, feeling sowhat bored as she watched a group of giant creatures fighting in the distance.
Lina and Yas were each training, while Mira frowned as she browsed through the Secret Scripture in her hands.
"Why isn’t the captain out yet..."
Noemi sighed as she played with a bone in her hand.
But suddenly, her ears twitched as if she heard so movent.
Noemi turned around, picked up her bow, and cautiously walked towards Rogel’s room.
At this mont, it seed like sothing in Rogel’s room was continuously bumping against the door.
Noemi hesitated for a mont before pushing open the door.
Then, she was shocked.
The Dragon Egg that Rogel had previously set down was now shaking constantly.
"Lin..."
Noemi was just about to call out to the others.
But at that mont, a sudden change occurred.
Boom—
Raging seawater surged forth like a massive dragon, extending from afar.
The scorching temperature of the Sea of Lava continually evaporated the seawater, hissing as it did, but the seawater nevertheless continued to increase, even more so.
Its destination was precisely the Lava Rock Prison in the distance!
"What’s going on?"
By then, Lina and the others were also startled from their training, ca to the deck and looked in the direction of the noise.
"It’s the traveling fish of Yudona!"
Noemi, at this point, couldn’t be bothered with the Dragon Egg, and pointed out to the seawater passage that had appeared out of nowhere.
"Why would Yudona suddenly appear in this place?" Lina frowned, pondering for a mont before issuing an order: "Change positions, don’t let them discover us."
She then picked up the Sound Transmission Conch, found a barrel of stored seawater, and sent a ssage to Rogel.
...
"Roar——"
Nearby, the Volcano Giant discovered the suddenly appearing water passage and roared angrily, racing through the magma.
Inside the traveling fish, Weinan observed the scene calmly, without showing any concerns.
Boom!
As if sensing the Volcano Giant’s approach, a massive water sphere suddenly launched towards it.
The Volcano Giant spewed magma, summoning lava to clash with it.
But, there was more than one massive water sphere.
The high-end combat power of the Lord Church wasn’t just limited to one mber.
Buzz.
Several massive water spheres soon subrged the Volcano Giant’s assault.
"Roar!"
In its angry roars, several massive water spheres converged into one, tightly enveloping the Volcano Giant.
"Foolish creature, feel the grip of the sea..."
Inside the traveling fish, the leading Lord Priest sneered, tightly clenching his glowing blue hand.
Whoa!
The Volcano Giant, already suffering from the massive water sphere’s embrace, reacted with rapidly forming bubbles as seawater interacted with its high-temperature body, its temperature steadily declining.
But with the actions of the Lord followers, an imnse pressure, far scarier than deep-sea pressure, suddenly emanated from the surrounding seawater!
"In the na of the Lord, there’s no escape for you."
Another Apostle calmly chanted, applying several layers of shackles on the Volcano Giant.
These sigils prevented the Volcano Giant’s roars and struggles from having any effect, even escaping was beyond its reach; it was entirely bound.
For a single cultist, the Volcano Giant would undoubtedly be a challenging opponent.
But the people of the Lord Church were not fools; how could they possibly engage in a one-on-one with this brainless monster?
With the deity’s authority, they ganged up and killed it.
The surrounding seawater kept increasing pressure, with its color turning from blue to pitch black.
Boom!
Ultimately, unable to withstand the terrifying pressure, the Volcano Giant’s body exploded into fragnts in the water.
The various high-temperature fragnts inside it rose as bubbles in the seawater.
The Volcano Giant was slain.
"Priest of Dashi Gu, there’s a Sea Wanderer over there."
A Lord follower beside him reminded.
"The Sea Wanderer remains unaffected; no need to provoke it." The priest withdrew his gaze, looking toward the Lava Rock Prison: "Keep paving the road, the Lava Rock Prison is almost here."
"Yes!"
...
[After so ti in visualization, your Spiritual Value has fully recovered.]
[Your Sound Transmission Conch has a response; it seems to be a ssage from Lina.]
Rogel, having just finished his snack, was sowhat surprised to see the ssage.
He then turned off the auto-exploration and listened to the ssage from Lina.
A mont later, his brow furrowed.
Yudona?
And one that can open a passage on the sea...
It seed they were no ordinary figures.
Rogel didn’t know what their purpose for being there was.
After pondering briefly, Rogel decided to ignore it for the ti being.
He originally planned to explore further into the passage behind the hall, but now that soone was causing trouble, he decided to retrieve the items from the two special cells first.
[You spread your Dragon Wings and used flight to return to the ruins in front of the prison.]
[In a crouched position, you avoided the Lamp-bearing Patrol and arrived again at the prison entrance.]
[You activated Nuduri’s Prison Lock.]
[Chains rose from the ground, directly binding the Prison Gate Guardian, applying the "Imprisonnt" effect.]
[The spirit and prowess of the Prison Gate Guardian were "Imprisoned."]
[The Prison Gate Guardian fell into disarray.]
[Taking advantage of the situation, you attacked the Prison Gate Guardian, which soon fell before you in its chaotic state.]
[You obtained: Warden’s Tongs ×1.]
[You obtained: Transformation Prison Key ×1.]
Nuduri’s Prison Lock was quite impressive; although it consus a lot of resources, its effect is strong, dispatching the level-53 Prison Gate Guardian instantaneously, ignoring any reasoning.
Rogel’s guess was correct; the prison key was indeed on the Prison Gate Guardian.
"Transformation Prison... Is this the official na of the prison?"
"It seems to be converting so prisoners into monsters within the Lava Rock Prison..."
Rogel pondered.
Subsequently, he examined the information on the two dropped items.
The Warden’s Tongs... was the weapon used by the Prison Gate Guardian, but it was killed before it could demonstrate its effect.
Not being very impressive, Rogel took a glance and set it aside.
As for the [Transformation Prison] key, it went without saying; the effect matched his expectation, able to open each cell within the Transformation Prison.
With this key, Rogel could retrieve the items from the two special rooms he had discovered earlier.
He might even free the blood race Maureen, granting it freedom.
But he wasn’t sure if the power sealing the stairs was still present.
Rogel quickly went to assess the stairs.
He was pleasantly surprised to find they were now traversable.
"First, make a sweep of the cells below, gather everything."
Rogel didn’t climb right away.
So of the cells on these levels were vacant, while others still held captive souls.
"Release them all."
Rogel thought; if these souls lingered, they’d eventually transform into guards.
[You unlock the cells one by one, seeking treasures while liberating several souls.]
[However, once they left the cells, they quickly dissipated into the air.]
[You wondered if they had actually perished.]
[Perhaps, they had gone to where souls are ant to go...]
