Chapter 522: A Volcano!?
It's been over a month since we left the Kadra Realm, during that time between the Aura pieces of training I've been doing, we've also made several stops at what Samira and I call tourist spots.
In addition to the beautiful waterfall where we had a delicious barbecue with everyone from the City of Shadows, we also stopped at a normal small rural village, stopped at the ruins of a small town that according to Lilian was destroyed during an Annual Monster Wave decades ago and stopped a town that was having a festival on the way.
I've never had so much fun, everything is so fun, so far I haven't seen any Humans, but I've seen a lot of Demi, there was even a talking Gorilla who worked in a bar, if I told this in my old world people would think it was the beginning from a joke, in addition, he prepared an amazing drink mix, Nolan mostly insisted that we stay in that city for a few more days, I allow it because I want him to learn from this Gorilla, I'm doing this out of pure selfishness and a desire to drink the best drinks you can.
After so much time spent on tourism that according to Ivan was wasted during the trip, we are finally close to the underground city I wanted so much to see.
As we were less than a day's journey from the city, I decided to put away the carriage and go riding, my mount was Ragnar in a less dazzling form, he now only looked like a Warhorse with a strange red crystal horn shaped like a blade.
I was riding Ragnar and the others were riding Shadow Horses which I summoned, as they are creatures I summoned I had to make a contract with them, but to my surprise, the terms of the contract were quite easy, this was to give them a place where they could live peacefully and follow Ragnar.
The Shadow Horses seemed to be very smart, I accepted their terms after talking to Ragnar, he seemed happy to lead a group of monsters, he said that his mother also had a lot of horse type monsters under her leadership.
It didn't matter to me as Sakura had already formed a community of Dryads, Incarnations of the Forest, and Nymphs before I knew it.
I knew that the Mountain Range Nymphs were always by Sakura's side since she formed a contract with me, but I didn't know that her charisma with monsters and plant-type creatures was so strong.
Several days ago when we were at the waterfall, Sakura had gathered a group of hundreds of plant-type monsters, using her power as Holy Beast she placed them all as her servants making many of them evolve and be better able to control their instincts.
With such strong mounts we could reach our destination fast but we went slowly while talking to everyone, the two races of Monster Horses were not able to speak the language of other races, but Ragnar and I could understand their language, Ragnar could understand all the Beasts and monsters, I could understand these two races because I made a contract with them.
During our trip I talked to Vanessa about the Oracle she received from the Goddess Selene, it seemed like I would have more things to do on this continent, but first I would have to know more details.
In this way, we continued until we reached the foot of a mountain, Lilian who had gone ahead was waiting for us on the road.
"Welcome, this is the place I promised." (Lilian)
"Are you sure this is the right place?" (I)
"Yes, the city is under that mountain." (Lilian)
I look at Lilian and then I look at the "mountain", I don't know how you can call it a "mountain", there's lava running down the side and smoke coming out of the top.
"But that's not a mountain, that's a Volcano!" (I)
I turn to the others.
"That's a volcano, right?" (I)
