Chapter 682: Volcano

Considering the rather long distance between the Mist Kingdom and Sharal¹, and that our army on the way to reinforce Sharal was stalled multiple times by beast ambushes, I already expected what I would see when I finally arrived in Sharal.

"…What a majestic scene…"

In the distance, I could see an erupting volcano. Large amounts of volcanic gases and ash mixed together to form a dense gray smoke. Even through all the smoke and dust, it was easy to see the shiny flames spewing from the volcano as magma slowly poured out and baked the ground.

The powerful eruptions caused the ash to reach all the way to the stratosphere. The larger chunks of ash would fall down with the force of meteors. Even from such a great distance, we could sense the majestic force of nature.

But, no matter what had been there originally, it was likely that nothing remained alive.
