At this mont, Lokar faced two choices.
One was to cross the scorching lava tsunami and continue pursuing the ’human thief’.
With his strength, this was not difficult, but the problem was...
Once he left, the clan warriors he brought this ti would all turn to ashes under the attack of the ancient molten earth dragon.
Even his old friend, the High Priest Dughal, might not escape.
The second option was to retreat imdiately and rely on him and Dughal’s combined efforts to resist the molten earth dragon’s attack, to create an escape space for the young clan elites.
It was almost in an instant.
With an angry and resentful glint in his eyes, Lokar made his decision—
The second option!
It had to be the latter.
Sacrificing the strength of the Dark Furnace Clan to retrieve the epic warhamr "Counterattacker" was clearly not worth it.
If the Drow or Mind Flayers took the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack, the Dark Furnace Clan could be completely defeated and beco a subsidiary tribe of other Gray Dwarves clans again.
Possibly even erased from existence!
Such a cost was absolutely unacceptable to Lokar, the Master of the Dark Furnace.
"Whoosh!"
With angry and helpless eyes quickly sweeping across to the other side of the lava cave, where he could not see Raine and his companions, Lokar turned and sped back.
"Boom!"
The lava struck the rock wall!
Behind the lava was a ferocious giant creature.
Its dark brown scale armor was like spiked formations ford by cooled lava, completely different from the sleek, plate-like scales of the five-color dragon.
At this mont, red-hot liquid lava was flowing like hundreds of streams down the crevices of its spiked scales, converging and finally rging into the lava lake below.
The enormous earth-yellow vertical pupil flickered once, focusing on the most powerful figure on the scene, Lokar, the Master of the Dark Furnace.
"(Dragon Language) How dare you covet the great Smarag’s treasure, foolish Gray Dwarf, turn to dust!"
Before the Master of the Dark Furnace Lokar could even argue.
The opponent’s chest suddenly emitted a dim dark red glow, rapidly turning crimson, the light ball rising all the way from its chest to its neck.
"Damn! Get out of the way!"
As Lokar rushed out of the lava cave, an extrely hot fla followed closely!
The High Priest Dughal, with a solemn expression, clasped the magic staff in his hands, having just finished reciting the last line of an extended spell.
In an instant!
A dark energy wall, several inches thick, appeared in front of him, completely blocking the crevice passage ahead.
"Sizzle sizzle!"
Fierce energy opposition occurred outside the energy wall.
The wall of dark erosion, which completely blocked the dragon’s breath, also bore almost all the power within the passage.
Therefore!
Even with High Priest Dughal’s extraordinary level strength, he couldn’t prevent cracks from appearing on the surface of the wall of dark erosion!
"Retreat quickly!"
"Old friend, we must lure the dragon away."
Lokar, the Master of the Dark Furnace, spoke in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty!" Guard Captain Angrel said anxiously.
After all, how can a guard run first?
"Follow orders!"
As the wall of dark erosion cracked, Lokar and Dughal, the two extraordinary strong n, did not retreat but advanced, enduring the dragon’s fiery breath, and rushed into another rift beside them.
They did not let the elite of the clan behind them seize the opportunity to continue pursuing Raine and his companions.
Because Lokar knew very well, even if he lured the molten earth dragon Smarag away, the molten earth dragon’s spawn in the lava cave were equally difficult to deal with.
He had already completely abandoned this pursuit mission.
Sure enough.
As he expected.
Dozens of spherical elental creatures, looking like they were made of clay, of varying sizes, poured out constantly from the red-hot lava of the lava cave.
With the awakening of the molten earth dragon, these rare lava elental creatures also awakened.
These were the spawn of the ancient molten earth dragon Smarag—
’Those about three to four ters tall are Challenge Level Four and Five lava minions.’
’Those over four ters are Challenge Level Six and Seven lava elentals.’
’Finally, those over five ters are Lava Surgeons, at Challenge Level Eight.’
Unlike the five-color dragons, which mainly have dragon-man spawn, the ancient molten earth dragon Smarag, as a variant dragon, mainly commands these lava elents.
More importantly.
In the lava cave, the nest of the ancient molten earth dragon, all these earth dragon spawn gained so degree of power enhancent, approximately increasing a challenge level.
Therefore, facing such a large group of lava monsters, even if the elites of the Dark Furnace Clan could carve a bloody path and continue tracking, it would be utterly not worth it.
And about a hundred ters away from the Gray Dwarves, at a turning point of a crevice passage.
A blurred figure was crawling and lurking.
Forced by the overwhelming strength of the Master of the Dark Furnace and the High Priest of the Dark Furnace Clan, Freddy, who was trailing far behind, originally did not know much about the situation ahead.
Until that heavy and imposing dragon roar echoed, making Freddy’s eyes widen and instantly understand the situation ahead.
As the fiery dragon flas lit up the entire cave and passage, Freddy, even without dark vision, saw the entire situation clearly.
And with the lava surging.
That fleeting blue light residue made Freddy’s pupils contract!
’As expected!’
’Any Door!’
’Indeed, the Gray Dwarves ca all this way chasing the Counterattacker!’
’Dare to steal my stuff!’
