This dramatic change halted Angel's original intention to detour for the time being.
Greerwu, clutching the ship's edge, looked down at the Mandigu worm corpse slowly being covered by the gushing magma with a speechless expression.
He could still hear Popota's mockery in his ears as Greerwu silently said, "Although Mandigu worms live near volcanoes, they are actually not fire attribute magical creatures. They're only active around volcanoes because they need certain substances emitted by them. Moreover, they fear high temperatures and fire..."
Even though Mandigu worms fear fire, no one expected that they would be pierced and killed in a single strike.
What was even more surprising was that the volcano erupted only for an instant.
It had now actually stopped?!
It was as if the eruption had been deliberate, solely to kill this particular Mandigu worm.
