As they went deeper, the temperature rose sharply. The extreme heat was unbearable.
"Just how much further do we have to go in?" Alice asked while sweating profusely.
"A little more. I can see the stairs ending." Shin replied to which Alice got extremely happy.
"Really?" She was fed up with these stairs.
"Yeah, only about 300 more steps." His answer made her frown.
"Shin, I can't take it anymore. Use your gravity control on us." The heat was very irritating.
"I think that's a good idea. Gravity control." Both of them started floating and slowly descended the steps.
As they walked through that tunnel they soon came to an open space. Once they looked around they found themselves inside a volcano.
"No wonder it was so hot." Both Shin and Alice covered themselves with Mana layers. It worked as insulation for them.
