The grayish-red color was the main theme of this world. The sulfur smoke that would cause ordinary people to cough to death was only the smell of their hometown that the giants were used to. The further down he went, the more careful Rorschach became.
Lava flowed on the ground right next to his feet. The thick smoke and the smell of sulfur made it difficult to see the path. Rorschach didn't want to accidentally step into the lava.
This was obviously not a path meant for ordinary people. There were deadly and harmful substances everywhere. Rorschach could only be more careful.
Although the environment was incredibly harsh, his companions didn't seem to feel it at all. They easily crossed four to five meters of gullies, boiling lava, and reckless giants.
If it wasn't for the fact that Rorschach had the Cliff Walker job, he would have already returned home.
Meanwhile, his companions easily crossed over all the obstacles, even though they were mages who were wearing mage robes and carrying giant staves.
The difference between them and Rorschach was imperceptibly obvious. These veterans had at least ten years of experience, but they were still on a completely different level than him.
The further down he went, the harsher the environment became. The temperature kept rising, and the hot dust in the air was even more uncomfortable.
"… Does the giants' leader not have any sincerity at all? Isn't it more appropriate for him to come out and greet me? Also, are they rats? What's the point of living so deep down? Aren't they afraid of earthquakes? "
Rorschach's complaints were met with chuckles from his companions.
"Ha, it's not that they're putting on airs. You'll understand later. After all, he's a volcano giant."
Volcano giant? Of course, there were volcano giants everywhere. What was so different about that?
But soon, a real volcano giant appeared in front of Rorschach. Only then did he understand what a giant was, and what a volcano was.
This was a pool of burning lava. A gigantic red stone statue was embedded in the lava. The statue's gigantic body occupied Roland's entire vision.
It was a face without any facial features. Only the neck was exposed to the outside, and there were scorched red stone pillars around it.
Red smoke filled the empty space above the statue. Numerous magic runes were embedded in the stone pillars.
Just how big was this statue? At any rate, Rorschach could only look up. He was probably smaller than a fly in front of this statue.
"Welcome, friend."
The deafening sound caused the entire cave to shake, and the source of the sound was the stone statue.
Rorschach originally thought that the Chieftain of the Giants would be an extra large Giant, but he didn't expect it to be an elemental creature.
But the next moment, his companion corrected Rorschach's mistake.
"No, he's not an elemental creature. He's a volcano giant, a volcano."
Roxia's intentional emphasis on the word "volcano" caused him to focus. Only now did he discover that even without the lava pool blocking his vision, the lower half of this gigantic stone statue's body was still deep into the cave. Roxia also felt that the statue's mana fluctuations were rather strange.
"It's not inside the stone statue. Instead, it's like … like it's all around us. Wait a minute, are you talking about a volcano? "
"Yes, a volcano."
The response from the communicator confirmed Rorschach's conjecture, but it also refreshed Rorschach's view of the world.
A volcano giant didn't refer to a giant who lived in a volcanic area with the fire element. Instead, it referred to an active volcano with a will similar to that of a giant.
This entire volcano was the stone statue in front of him?
No wonder he couldn't come out to greet us. This was his body. He probably couldn't move even if he wanted to.
"What about the giants outside?"
"They're his followers, or his subordinates."
"Then what about the nearby volcanic area and mine-free area?"
"Our airship entered his domain one day ago. Yep, this entire volcanic area is his domain. "
"… Just how strong is he? How strong is this mega life form? "
"That's hard to say. At any rate, we don't want to know how strong he is."
The meaning behind his words was quite easy to understand. Only on the battlefield would one be able to see how strong a mega life form was. But who would want to be enemies with such a life form?
His companion didn't answer, but Lori provided him with a series of data.
Only the legendary Main Gods would be able to match him in terms of magic power and combat strength. If he appeared in front of Vila Nova Dônia, the only logical choice would be to abandon the city and flee.
What surprised Rorschach was that this gigantic life form was surprisingly friendly.
"Haha, when you've been locked underground for three to four thousand years, you'll be happy to see a mouse that can't talk. Not to mention, you can communicate with me. "
His laughter still brought about earthquakes, explosions, and explosions of smoke and lava. Perhaps this was just a normal physical movement for him, but it made it difficult for the people inside.
Rorschach didn't ask any questions. The giants weren't considered people he could communicate with. The Eagle's Crown had already given him a new order through Lori.
The mission was quite simple. All he had to do was ask a few questions. However, the content of the conversation couldn't be changed at all.
But obviously, these mega life forms didn't want the Game Church to know too much. At the very least, they didn't want the Game Church to know too much at this stage.
"Everything you told us before was true."
"Of course, Unther wouldn't lie to a friendly little thing like you."
His words were filled with sincerity. There was even a faint hint of anger in the vibrating air, as if he was dissatisfied with being doubted.
"… Lies."
Fortunately, Rorschach's facial armor didn't only block his facial expression, it also blocked his voice of surprise.
The next question was also given.
"Do you have a friendly attitude towards us outsiders?"
"Friends from the outside, please don't make me repeat my previous declaration. You brought so many treasures and even helped Unther revive his kin. Of course you're Unther's friends."
Rorschach fell silent. However, the ear-piercing reply of the word "lies" told him that this gigantic life form in front of him had no possibility of being friendly at all.
"If we help you retrieve that item, will you help us as promised?"
"Of course."
It seemed that the gigantic life form was dissatisfied with being doubted. His short answer faintly revealed his anger. However, Rorschach once again felt that his words were filled with lies and hostility.
There was no need to ask any more questions. The answer he received was more than enough for everyone to adjust their battle plans.
Looking at the gigantic life form in front of him, Rorschach suddenly instinctively asked a question. It was a question that exceeded his expectations. It was a question that was lured out by his instincts of danger.
"Is your real name Unther? Are you really a volcano itself? Can a volcano give birth to an existence like you? "
"Ha, little fellow, it seems that you're truly a newbie. Although lifeforms like us are rare, we're still a miracle of creation …"
