After two relentless weeks of flying non-stop, Cain finally reached the mighty Hellgaping Belt, the volcanic range that acted as a natural barrier between the South Coast and the mainland of the Helix Continent. The Hellgaping Belt was a monstrous, almost otherworldly sight.
Towering mountains stretched into the sky, their peaks constantly spewing plumes of ash and smoke that choked the upper atmosphere, making it impossible for even the strongest Stellar Abyss Legends to navigate the skies above. The very air was thick with the stench of sulfur, and the heat radiating from the bubbling lava rivers beneath the jagged landscape was suffocating.
This mountain range was more than just a natural barrier—it was a living, breathing force of nature. The active volcanoes erupted frequently, their violent outbursts shaking the earth for miles around. The ground itself was unstable, shifting as molten rock seethed below, threatening to tear open at any moment.
