It's been three more hours, but Erix was still in the volcanic region and entered deeper after resting for half an hour at a small cave he found a while ago.
When he arrived at a valley amidst volcano mountains and jumped down, he alerted a group of grotesque monsters with rocky carapaces and strange tendrils at their octopus-like heads.
This was a seething landscape of molten rock and cascading flames. The air was thick with the acrid scent of sulfur, and the ground radiated heat like an inferno's embrace with the horde of monsters that woke up and rushed towards Erix, each one above level 90.
"One more hurdle, eh? No matter," Erix grinned as his cells trembled in excitement to battle again.
He tightened his fists, eyes narrowing as he surveyed the approaching horde of flame and magma monsters, each one a grotesque fusion of lava and sinew.
