A dark phantom with ethereal wings flew through the dense ash clouds, hiding the forgotten cinder cone. Past the ash clouds, a vast expanse of rocky plains, jagged crags, and volcanic ash fields were visible.
This type of area was difficult for anyone not familiar with this treacherous landscape. Furthermore, not too far away from the cinder cone in the west were large, imposing signs, and written on them were stern warnings about restricted access and potential dangers ahead.
However, the dark phantom didn't seem to be deterred and headed toward the restricted area without hesitation. His speed was extremely fast, and he traveled hundreds of miles within seconds.
When the phantom was almost a thousand miles deep into the restricted area, the landscape started to change.
