9 THRONES

CHAPTER 79: THE CHANGE OF THE FIRE LIZARD

At the front of the Magma Pillar, the 2 guards who were inspecting Vann as well as his comrades were going to lunch.

The guard couldn't help but ask the senior who warned Vann just now "Senior, why did you tell that person to be careful? Is there a problem with the group he is following? Hadn't the Laken Group had gone to the Magma Pillar for years and they had never experienced any happenings? Not only that, every member of them always came back alive, at most there were only a few injured people".

Staring at his junior, the senior shook his head "You're still new here so you might not know, but I've been guarding the door of the Magma Pillar for 20 years. The Laken group did not have any problems at all, rather only 1 person was in trouble between them. But we don't have any evidence and the man has never made any trouble, so nobody has caught him".

"1 person in trouble? Wh who? Did Yazer? I heard he was the most recently joined person except for the 1 new kid earlier" said his curious junior.

"You fool, look at how good Yazer is! Too good to be easily taken advantage of by the bad guys!", said his senior sighing "The person I mean is Theresa, who is the, there were not many disciples who knew of his identity but almost all of the teachers and teachers who were in the 4 great powers of Talper Province knew that the woman was from the Monster Laboratory! If it wasn't for Guru Githa protecting him by saying don't judge someone from their past, rather they should be given a chance to change, no academy would accept that woman".

"What's? Monster Laboratory?", his junior shouted in disbelief as he learned how troubled the name was.

In other provinces, they may not know or fear the name Monster Laboratory. But in contrast to those in Talper Province because the name had almost rattled the entire Talper Province, more precisely bringing 1 province almost to destruction.

...----------------...

Vann and Yazer immediately climbed to the top of the volcano where the top of the mountain was the area where the fire lizard lived. As the strongest force around the volcano on this floor, it was not strange if the fire lizard was at the most peak location.

Even so, actually Vann is now still at the most basic layer of the Magma Pillar.

According to the cultivator who had once passed the furthest floor in the Fire Pillar, he had managed to reach the 50th floor but the Fire Pillar had not finished at all, he had yet to meet the ruler of the pillar which made him retreat due to lack of food.

Through the result of the cultivator's experience, everyone knew that the earliest 10 floors of the Fire Pillar were only a ground floor compared to all pillars that had 50 or even hundreds of floors.

Together with Yazer, Vann always avoids the monsters they encounter along the way.

They are able to fight the monsters, but the loss they receive will be too big to feel tired before meeting fire lizards or injured.

Therefore, they decided to avoid the monsters as they did in the lava pool.

As Vann and Yazer got closer and closer to the top of the mountain, they heard the sound of a fight that made Vann say "Be careful, lest you make any sound that could catch the enemy's attention. After all it was likely that Laken and the others were fighting against the fire lizard, they could not return empty-handed as it was considered a failure and would receive punishment from the academy".

Yazer nodded, they climbed to the top slowly and did not make any sound.

When they reached the top of the mountain, they hid behind a rock and saw what was going on amid the noise of fighting on the top of the mountain.

Just as they were trying to see, a loud explosion occurred.

"Booooom!".

When Myro and Yazer tried to observe again about what had happened, the entire area of the fight had just been covered by the smoke of an explosion that left them unable to see anything.

"What happened?" said Yazer staring from behind the rocks where they were hiding.

"Yazer, don't talk too big or the enemy might know our whereabouts! Although we do not know if the explosion just happened due to an enemy attack or someone else, but it never hurts to be careful. After all, everyone on the pillar can die at any time" Vann said, using a small voice so that no one else can hear them.

Yazer nodded and joined in speaking in a small voice "I understand, my friend-".

Before Yazer could finish his words, a shout rang out from the explosion of smoke just now "No, don't come any closer! I can't die here! I was supposed to be a great cultivator in the academy, I had to stay alive-".

Vann and Yazer look back from behind the rocks again, they find Laken escaping from the smoke of the explosion.

Laken who had previously looked extremely strong was now covered in wounds, even a large part of her clothes were shattered which showed how difficult the fight she had gone through was, after all Laken was the strongest level 5 Qi Fondation figure in their team.

In Laken's hand was a broken iron sword, Vann's eyes became sharp while observing Laken's iron sword because it was a low-grade level 1 artifact. Even against a tier 2 artifact, a tier 1 artifact would not break like that, at most it would only lose to a tier 2 artifact.

Vann immediately thought of the possibility that Laken's opponent was extremely strong and used something as high as a grade-3 artifact to break Laken's sword.

Finally the truth was revealed, the smoke behind Laken disappeared and the figure of a lizard with silver-colored scales appeared behind it.

The silver lizard looked sharply at Laken like it was observing its prey, then it rushed towards Laken without hesitation.

"Shelf!".

The silver lizard that ran directly ate Laken's head, it had a body as high as 2 meters so the silver lizard did not need to jump to eat it.

Laken's body fell weakly to the ground, he who had lost his head was unable to continue surviving and instantly died on the spot.

The giant silver lizard ate Laken's head full of pleasure before it began to eat her body.

"The Silver Fire Lizard? How come? Such a powerful monster should not be here!", Yazer said in disbelief, fortunately Yazer held back his voice which made the silver lizard unaware of them.

"What is the Silver Flame Lizard?", asked Vann who returned to the back of the stone, he knew the matter this time must be very troublesome.

The Fire Lizard was famous as a powerful monster, now its name plus the word silver, Vann was sure the addition of the name was not without reason but rather because the Silver Flame Lizard was stronger than the normal Fire Lizard.
