Shortly before Kyrian left the small cave where he had remained hidden for the past five days, the four leaders and the enormous group of cultivators finally arrived at the region where the Five-Horned Lava Lizard had last been seen.
The young man guiding the way slowly stopped.
His face paled slightly as he observed the dark mountains around them.
The landscape was different from the rest of the Intermediate Area, more desolate, more destroyed. As if something of immense power had passed through recently.
"It was here..." he said quietly, pointing toward a specific area between the rocky formations.
"This is where we last encountered the lizard."
He swallowed hard, his eyes scanning the terrain as if expecting the beast to emerge from underground once again.
"Honestly... I still don't know how we managed to escape alive."
The groups immediately slowed down.
