บท 2310: 2310. Ancient Problem

Looking carefully, Walker could tell that the lava flowing from the volcano had lowered. It was being held back yet again by something. Whether a blockage or whatever he had sensed changing the flow of earth and fire mana, it didn't matter. He and Ignus were nearly at the top so they could handle this. 

There was a shaking here and there though. Like the earth could feel the pressure which shouldn't be there and was building up even more than before. While this could be somewhat true, Walker felt that it was all a precursor. A warning that things had gotten worse again. 

Along the rim of the volcano, Walker spotted cooling crystals and ores. They had been stuck there when they were forced up through the magma. Then they fused to the edges creating a whole ring of ores which normally would not be mixed together.
