I saw the thing causing all this noise. Calling this creature an atrocity would be an understatement. It was a giant pile of magma and molten rocks in a humanoid form. The bones and skulls of lives it had taken were stuck onto it's skin, showing off how many it had killed. It had menacing scarlet eyes and giant sharp horns. It appears that the creature float in the air as it has no legs with only a whip-like tail.
The creature burned anything in it's path, leaving nothing but ash behind. I realized that this creature looked similar from the description of a book I found on the cabin. I could feel the intensity of the creature's heat from such a far distance.
The creature had noticed my presence. I knew I was in danger and that I had to escape this island as soon as possible. I couldn't just die now. I still wanted to explore what the world outside the island. I had yet to know what lies beyond the horizon. Without a second thought, I sprinted as fast as I could to the direction of the raft.
"Target with Blessing spotted. Tracking down the person."
My feet were covered in blisters and thorns, not caring what I had stepped on. The only thing I had on my mind was to get to the raft as soon as I can before the abomination caught up to me. I had arrived to my raft on time. It seemed that the creature hadn't arrived yet.
However before I could even push the raft onto the ocean, lava rained down from the sky. The lava seemed to have been summoned by the creature. The lava directly fell onto my body. I screamed at the top of my lungs. My Blessing of the Phoenix should have activate, protecting me but somehow the lava had bypassed it.
My skin dissolved in the lava, my organs internally bleeding. All I could think of was the pain I felt throughout my body. The creature had reached where I was. It immediately conjured a molten blade. The molten blade was shining bright with dark aura surrounding it. The deity pointed it's sword towards me and threw it with great force. I tried to block the attack by trying to create a shield with my Blessing of the Phoenix but it couldn't even hold it back for a second. The blade had directly pierced through my heart.
That moment, I knew it was over for me. Everything I had done in my life, all gone.
But my consciousness wasn't fading. Was I still alive? I couldn't move my body nor even open my eyes. I still felt like I was still existing, as if I was between the state of the living and the dead. Something had ignited in my soul as if something was being set free but was still chained. My body filled with energy. I had finally had enough energy to open my eyes. I was in total disbelief. I was still alive, with my body being in the best condition it could.
All the wounds on my body had disappeared and I no longer felt pain. My body was filled to the brim with energy and the excess energy was used to summon enhancing flames that could boost my combat potential and amplify the output of my "Blessings" and provided me with a layer of protection that is highly resistance to extreme temperature and stop burns from occurring. These flames surrounded my skin and the air around me. The volcanic deity had noticed me once more. However this time, it was in a state of shocked. This didn't last long as I heard the deity speak for the first time.
"A second life won't save you from the wrath of my power. As I, the volcanic deity, am one of the seven Corrupted Apostles of The Lord of the Corrupted Zyrad, the corrupter of the all life forms."
Writer here: The next chapter is going to one hell of a fight. This will be the first major fight our protagonist, Kaliethe have had. By the way, he named himself when he was around 4 so I guess he isn't your typical child. After 1 more chapter, it would be the end of the island arc and the Guild arc is next! I am excited to write that arc. I write short chapters since I have school to focus on and want my upload schedule to be consistent. I plan on fixing the previous chapters as I feel like i have added too little detail to the surround and have failed to describe the scenes that occurred. I hope you have been enjoying reading this web novel so far. I plan on drawing a cover for my web novel in the future but I am too lazy to do it right now XD. Feel free to write anything I should fix or add into my web novel. :D -SeriousWrites
