The soul-nourishing potion, does it say that this thing can greatly enhance a wizard's spiritual power, helping him cross the last hurdle to becoming legendary?!
Amos'ta was amazed and excited by the possibilities he guessed, but a sharp sound suddenly came from his ears, causing Amos'ta's face to slightly change. He immediately turned his head and saw that the green barrier blocking the magma had turned into a beam of light, disappearing into the nearby magma lake!
What is Slytherin planning to do?
These changes made Amos'ta dizzy and confused, unable to guess what Slytherin was thinking.
But he didn't have much time to think, after the barrier broke, the lava outside was pouring into the treasure house, Amos'ta's body beside the Sun of Senguo once again appeared, preparing to leave this treasure house, and as he took a step, the ground under his feet shook violently all of a sudden, and the terrifying roar of lava outside made Amos'ta completely pale!
After Amos'ta left, the cliff walls, as sharp and steep as blades, were left with only Aemilia and Bogrod.
There was no desire for conversation between the two of them. They were both staring down at the vast and fierce-looking lava lake below, gazing at the turbulent and boiling surface of the lake, silently without saying a word.
Aemilia looked worried, although she had already witnessed Amos'ta's supernatural strength, and she also believed that Amos'ta would not act rashly. He must have had enough confidence to decide to go for a walk in the lava. But, she couldn't help but worry.
Bogrod, like Aemilia, was worried about Amos'ta, but the reason for his worry was different from Aemilia's.
The small handcart they had just ridden on had already slid into the lava, and now the stone platform they were on was in an awkward position, not near any village or town. If Amos'ta Blaine encountered any mishaps, who would take them out of the lava area?
Time ticked away second by second, the rumbling and violent sounds of the lava surging and crashing against the walls tormented Aemilia's soul. She clutched her fists tightly, struggling to overcome her fear and the urge to break down.
"How long has it been?"
Time perception became blurry at this moment, Aemilia couldn't determine how long she had been waiting, in her senses, at least several hours had passed!
"Five minutes."
Bogrod wiped the sweat from his forehead and said that Amos'ta Blaine's magic barrier had effectively isolated the heat from causing damage to them, but the fear of death made Bogrod involuntarily feel nervous.
"Five minutes, huh?"
Aemilia took several heavy breaths, her dry and pale lips moved feebly, saying in a dazed manner.
"We'd better pray that Mr. Blaine can return safely, otherwise we two will be dead. The defensive magic in Goblin Grotto prevents both elves and wizards from Apparating, the little cart also can't reach our location, we can only rely on him"
The old elf said in a low voice.
It was indeed true, but the old elf's words made Aemilia feel uneasy. This old elf, Bogrod, cared about Amos'ta only because Amos'ta was the only one who could take it away from here. But couldn't it be said that this wasn't Amos'ta's fault? After all, it was Goblin Grotto's responsibility for the client's treasure room that caused Amos'ta to take such risks.
"What is that?"
Aemilia's gaze turned cold as she looked at Bogrod, preparing to say something. But her eyes never left the lava when Bogrod suddenly screamed.
"I saw a green light flash on the surface of the lava lake!"
"A green light?"
Aemilia was puzzled; she was about to ask, but then suddenly--
Bang!
It was as if a nuclear bomb had exploded in the underground cave, Aemilia and Bogrod were horrified to find that the world in front of them suddenly trembled violently, and the amplitude of vibration increased.
In the continuous tremors, the lava beneath the ground swayed like water in a half-filled cup, driven by the vibrations. Worst of all, under the mysterious force, the lava lake below roared fiercely, with streams of molten rock being flung into the air like whips, lashing everything!
Bang!
A bursting column of lava by the side terrified the old elf, causing him to almost lose his soul. Even Aemilia couldn't help but emit a short, high-pitched scream.
The splashing lava instantly emitted a blinding light and cracked against the milky magical barrier with a crackling sound. Fortunately, the magical barrier left by Amos'ta was sufficiently reliable and no accidents occurred.
"Be collapsed" Bogrod suddenly said out of the blue.
"What?"
Aemilia shouted, looking at the direction indicated by the elf's finger, her face, which was already pale with fear, turned completely white - just under the rock wall where they stood, a gaping hole had appeared as a result of the impact of the lava column, and even more terrifyingly, this gap was spreading continuously under the tremors!
If they continued to wait like this, even if Amos'ta's method could withstand it, the stone platform they were on couldn't!
Aemilia immediately pointed her wand at the crack, hoping to make some compensatory measures, but the tremors of the mountain, the upheaval of magic, and fear caused her several attempts at casting spells to fail.
"Let me do it!"
Bogrod shouted, but just as he clenched his fingers, another lava column crashed down--
Crack, falling stones rustled!
The mountain body split into terrifying cracks from top to bottom at that moment, the platform collapsed, Aemilia and Bogrod were flipped out!
Phew!
The fierce wind followed, and the intense heat made Aemilia and the old elf, Bogrod, briefly dizzy.
Are we going to die?
Just as Aemilia thought that, the scorching heat that had been tormenting her suddenly dissipated, replaced by a sense of coolness that quickly restored clarity to both her and Bogrod's minds.
After a moment of blurred vision, Aemilia and Bogrod found themselves at the edge of a passage jutting into the rock wall at the very top of a huge underground cave.
"Stay here --"
Gazing at the dancing flames like tendrils below and the rapidly rising lava lake, Amos'ta's expression was extremely solemn. He twisted his wrist, holding the wand, and took a step forward, but Aemilia grabbed his robe.
"Don't go, Amos'ta, it's dangerous!"
A few strands of hair were stuck to her cheeks by sweat, Aemilia's pale face was red with anxiety, her expression wild.
"What's going on here?"
"The lava is in upheaval, the cause is hard to say--"
Amos'ta's voice was grave,
"But I have to go and deal with it, or Diagon Alley will be destroyed!"
With these words, Amos'ta let go of Aemilia's grip and leaped back into the lava, finally hovering above the boiling lava as if it were a pot on the stove.
The underground cave was vast, like a universe, and compared to it, Amos'ta was as small as a speck of dust. Now, he must use his own strength to stop the upheaval of natural forces.
Crack!
Thunderous lightning appeared in the air, striking the lava lake that was continuously casting giant lava tendrils like hands. In Amos'sta's magical vision, the magic of nature was stirring the lava below in a strange way, causing it to emit similar explosive power as a solar storm.
Bang, bang, bang!
Amos'ta waved his wand vigorously, and golden flames constantly surged in the air around him, rushing towards the lava pillars thrown out by the lava lake to counteract them. In the vast underground space, there were continuous booms that shook the space and explosions so intense they could have melted anything.
Facing the might of the cosmos, Amos'ta's expression had never been more solemn.
Amos'ta tried his best to erase those lava columns that were shaking the structure of the underground space, but he couldn't stop the rising surface of the lava lake. If this continued, in no time, the lava would fill the entire underground space. At that point, the sealed space would further accelerate the power of the lava, and it might destroy Diagon Alley entirely in a single eruption!
But to stop the lava from rising--
That would require resistance against the entire natural force, and Amos'ta currently possessed no such power. Unless he could truly step into that level, there was a chance!
"Cross the barrier. Wait!"
A flustered Amos'ta was startled, and then looked surprised!
