Chương 31: The Scorched Flats

The cracked, blackened ground of the Scorched Flats hissed beneath Arthur's claws as he made his way across the desolate landscape. Each step echoed with a dull crunch, releasing puffs of sulfur and ash into the air. His wings lay tucked against his back, his 75-foot-tall frame casting a monstrous shadow over the jagged terrain. The heat was oppressive, with waves of molten air warping the horizon like a mirage, making the world ahead look distant and dream-like.

Arthur flexed his claws, feeling the scalding ground beneath his feet, and activated [Analyze]. The system hummed in his mind, flashing information across his vision in faint green script.
