Chapter 340: Chapter 340: Giants and Red Dwarves
When Malcolm and Syed saw the black stone pillar, their faces turned full of urgency and worry.
“Hurry, we’re running out of time. Codex is almost out of control!” Syed shouted.
Aiden looked at the black stone pillar. Rather than a pillar, it looked more like a huge finger.
“So this is Codex? A giant finger? Or is this just one finger that Codex has stretched out?” Aiden guessed to himself.
He was standing at the edge of the magma, fairly close to the huge black finger.
A strange feeling came over him. Even though sweat was running down his forehead, Aiden felt cold.
“Killing intent? Yes, that’s definitely killing intent. It feels a lot like when I faced the strongest killing intent in the remnant soldier trial,” Aiden thought, his eyes suddenly lighting up.
This intense killing intent was actually a good thing for him.
After all, he had understood the law of slaughter, and his body had also been strengthened by the remnant soldier of killing intent, giving him the ability to absorb killing intent.
“Stop spacing out and release your Divine Golden Sunflame!” Malcolm urged.
Aiden looked at the huge black finger in the magma with some regret, then nodded.
Boom!
Golden flames burst out in an instant.
As soon as the Divine Golden Sunflame appeared, the sweat on Aiden’s forehead quickly vanished, and the magma around them seemed to become less violent.
Under Aiden’s gaze, Fiona’s brother, Karls, also released his special flame.
Buzz!
A blue-black flame quickly gathered in front of Karls.
It was clear and crystal-like. Even though it was burning, it gave off a cold and eerie feeling.
So this was Bonerot Ghostflame. It really was unusual.
Right after that, Syed and Malcolm also released their special flames.
Aiden had already seen Syed’s special flame before, but Malcolm’s flame made him curious.
How should he describe it? Malcolm’s flame was blood-red, as if blood itself had taken the shape of fire and was swaying nonstop.
“Slowly control your flames and follow my lead!” Malcolm said quickly.
His blood-red flame quietly split into three thin strands and stretched toward the other special flames.
Karls’ flame and Syed’s flame did not react much.
Only the Divine Golden Sunflame in front of Aiden suddenly trembled.
“Aiden!” Malcolm took a deep breath and continued, “You need to feel your flame. Don’t try to control it. Feel it, then communicate with it!”
“Otherwise, it won’t work with me!”
Aiden quickly nodded. Before this, he had always treated Divine Golden Sunflame as just an attack skill. He had never thought about communicating with it.
The Red Dwarves’ understanding of fire really was one of a kind.
“Relax, relax.” Aiden closed his eyes and breathed in and out slowly.
Understanding flame should be similar to understanding the Force of Laws.
Aiden had already understood two kinds of Force of Laws, so using the same method now to communicate with Divine Golden Sunflame was actually not too hard.
“We need to buy some time,” Malcolm said with a serious expression as he looked at the huge black finger in the magma. “It’ll probably take Aiden quite a while to make Divine Golden Sunflame obey.”
But just as he finished speaking, Aiden opened his eyes again.
At once, Karls and Syed both turned to look at him.
“Did it fail?” Karls asked.
“Don’t worry. Just try again and take it slow,” Syed said to comfort him. “Your level is lower, so your soul strength probably isn’t that high, and you don’t have any experience with this. Failing is normal.”
Aiden looked at them and said quickly, “Well, my level is low, but my soul strength isn’t. And I’ve had similar experience before.”
“We can do the guidance again.”
Malcolm, Karls, and Syed all widened their eyes.
Only a few seconds had passed, and Aiden had already succeeded in communicating with Divine Golden Sunflame?
How was that possible?
But looking at Aiden’s expression, he clearly was not joking.
Anyone with common sense knew this was not the time for jokes.
“Did he really do it?” Malcolm’s eyes shook with surprise.
As a Red Dwarf, even his first time communicating with fire had taken half an hour.
And Aiden was human. He had no inherited knowledge about the study of fire at all.
But in this situation, they could not afford to waste more time.
“One more time!” Malcolm took a deep breath and chose to trust Aiden.
When the strands split from his blood flame truly made contact with Divine Golden Sunflame, Malcolm could not help widening his eyes. He stared at Aiden as if he were looking at a monster.
Karls and Syed looked just as shocked.
“Using fire as the medium, gather the power of flame…” Malcolm forced himself to calm down and began guiding the other three special flames.
An invisible vibration instantly appeared.
Around Aiden and the others, a mysterious law suddenly formed.
The four special flames began to vibrate rapidly and merge together.
At the same time, the pieces of scarlet crystal were pulled by an invisible Strength and gathered into one place.
Soon, a scarlet crystal covered in cracks appeared in front of everyone.
Then the fused flame swallowed that scarlet crystal whole.
As time slowly passed, the fused flame gradually faded away. When it was gone, a complete scarlet crystal was floating quietly in the air.
Malcolm and Syed both looked delighted and finally let out a sigh of relief.
“We did it. Next is—” Syed had only gotten halfway through his sentence when the black finger in the magma suddenly moved.
Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
Endless shouts instantly rang in Aiden’s ears.
It was as if he saw a giant hundreds of meters tall roaring at the sky, pouring out all the anger in his heart.
But then, countless long black arms suddenly appeared in the sky and wrapped around the giant.
After that, those black arms kept taking something from the giant.
Then the giant’s body quickly began to shrink, until in the end it was only about one meter tall.
“Aiden! Aiden, are you alright?”
In his daze, Aiden heard Malcolm’s voice.
He opened his eyes in confusion and found that he was still standing where he was. Meanwhile, the huge black finger in the magma was slowly sinking back down into the magma.
“Was that just an illusion?” Aiden felt confused. He was wearing the Psychic Bracelet, which should make him immune to all illusions.
But if it was not an illusion, then what was it?
Could it be that he had just seen what happened to the Red Dwarves’ ancestor?
“Is Codex really your ancestor?” Aiden could not help asking.
If the thing that had appeared in the magma really was Codex’s finger, then Codex’s size should have been the same as the giant Aiden had just seen.
But Fiona, Malcolm, and Syed were all only a little over one meter tall.
Just from their size alone, they seemed to have nothing at all in common with that giant Aiden had seen.
While Aiden was still confused, Malcolm spread his arms helplessly, sighed, and said,
“Are you wondering why just one of Codex’s fingers is so huge, while we are so small?”
Aiden quickly shook his head. He knew that calling a Red Dwarf small was a serious insult and a provocation.
“It’s fine. A lot of creatures in the Abyss think the same thing. We all know it,” Malcolm said slowly.
He explained that Codex really was the ancestor of the Red Dwarves, but as for why the Red Dwarves were so small, he did not know either.
“Tall and mighty, brave and fearless—those words have been used to praise us since a very, very long time ago. They are already carved into the bones of us Red Dwarves,” Malcolm said with a smile.
For now, the problem had been solved, so he was in a very good mood.
Aiden nodded. Every strange thing had its own special reason behind it.
At that moment, Syed suddenly said, “Since Codex has stabilized, the earthfire will not go wild again. Aiden, you can keep going deeper.”
“When you see the giant hammer formed by flame, you will be able to become a Forgemaster. Of course, that is only if you have a Second Class Scroll. Otherwise…”
Before Syed could finish, Aiden took out the Second Class Scroll he had prepared long ago.
After learning how powerful Divine Golden Sunflame was, and after Syed said he would give him the forging notes, Aiden had become even more eager to become a Forgemaster.
He still had a large amount of High-tier materials on him, which meant he could quickly become a powerful Forgemaster.
Maybe before long, he might even be able to forge a full set of Mythic Rank equipment for himself!
“Just thinking about it is exciting!” Aiden’s eyes flashed with excitement.
He took a deep breath and continued walking deeper into the volcano.
But after only a few more meters, Aiden stopped, turned around, and asked,
“By the way, you said there is a small amount of fire Force of Laws deep inside the volcano?”
Malcolm and Syed both nodded. Syed seemed to think of something and asked,
“You want to try to comprehend fire Force of Laws?”
“It’s worth a try. If you can comprehend fire Force of Laws, you will be able to control Divine Golden Sunflame even better.”
“But don’t push yourself too hard. A level 50 level is still a bit too low.”
Aiden smiled and nodded. He had already comprehended killing Force of Laws and dark Force of Laws, so comprehending fire Force of Laws deep inside the volcano should not be too difficult for him.
“I have a feeling that if I raise my level to level 90 and use Apprentice’s Heart to strengthen my soul, I might be able to trigger the divine ascension tribulation in the shortest possible time,” Aiden thought to himself.
He took another deep breath and kept walking deeper into the volcano.
About ten minutes later, Aiden stopped once again and frowned as he looked ahead.
