Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave

The cave was dark, with only the faint light filtering through the entrance behind him, making it difficult for Zen to see ahead.

He had no time to consider what could be hidden in the dark recesses of the cave with his biggest problem behind him and moving closer.

As she made her way into the cave, the queen blade locust smashed stalagmites and stalactites chasing after Zen.

Only the heavens knew whether or not the queen blade locust had a keen sense of smell or Zen was leaving marks behind him. Whatever the case, it seemed easy for the giant insect to find him, even in a maze of caves like this.

The further down they went, the thicker and more pungent the sulfur odor became.

As he rushed into a connecting cavern, Zen discovered a red light illuminated the spacious cave.

Before Zen was an underground lake of magma surging. One after another, dark red flames burst up from the lake only to explode in a 'poof'.

This was the fire of the Earth's core!

It was recorded in ancient times that the fire came from the Earth's core.

The weapon refiners much preferred the fire of the Earth's core, because it was more primal, raw than the fire of life vitality that was in the refiner's body. The fire of the Earth's core had a miracle effect when refining certain special magic weapons.

Undoubtedly, the sulfur smell emanated from this pool of magma.

"Boom, boom..."

A low sound of rumbling thunder echoed through the cavern.

The queen blade locust was getting nearer again.

"Damn!" Zen blurted out uneasily.

He saw a passage at the side of the lake of magma, and he ran over to it.

The bank of the lava lake was heated by the fire from the Earth's core. Therefore, the ground was like a hot frying pan under Zen's feet.

All he wanted was to run for his life right then, so, he went through the heat at high speed not turning back.

"Ka-blam!"

The sound of exploding magma spurted fire through the air, splashing it in Zen's direction.

Without hesitation, Zen dropped and rolled, avoiding being splattered with the fires.
