Chapter 559: Dunas Potty Mouth (1/2)

Seeing Leon was from Duna's clutches, Aria finally dived into his chest before giving the female spirit a narrowed look over his shoulders.

However, Duna did not even glance back.

She continued to sit on the edge of the Great Wall with dangling feet and continued to observe the enormous rift below while listening to the wall's creaking sound.

”The Paragon-level Three-Legged Golden Crow and Blue Luan's battle came abruptly. We were unable to save everyone...” Aria shook her head and began answering Leon's question, ”Quite a few people have lost their lives, but we did what we could to save everyone that could be saved.”

”Un. Some casualties are expected when disasters strike so suddenly. As long as you know you did your best, there's no need to feel burdened by the inevitable,” Leon rubbed Aria's head, thinking she needed comfort.

”Mm.” Aria enjoyed Leon's caress for a moment before she hesitated, ”It's just that…”

”It's just that…?”

”Duke Ignis went missing.”

”What?” Leon shortly pulled away from Aria before gazing into her eyes directly with shock, ”Duke Ignis went missing?”

Aria nodded.

”Duke Ignis was believed to be working inside the nearby forges when the ground collapsed and swallowed by the rift.”

After hearing this, Leon fell silent.

However, it was not long before Duna suddenly uttered, ”Hey, there seem to be some people still alive down there.”

Leon quickly made his way to Duna's side and glanced down into the rift with narrowed eyes. He followed Duna's pointed finger towards the molten side before he noticed a few figures moving ever slightly.

”Duke Ignis might still be alive.” Leon exclaimed with surprise before he directed, ”Stay here. I will go down and check by myself. You two might get hurt by the golden flames.”

”Have fun,” Duna said casually.

Aria gave her glare before nodding to Leon, ”Be careful.”

”Rest assure, Aria. If a few blacksmiths can survive the golden flames and scorching heat down there, I should be fine,” Leon smiled.

He found it quite fortunate that the Paragon-level Three-Legged Golden Crow's awakened bloodline was not very high.

It had terrifying brute strength, but its golden flames were far from being on the same level.

Shortly after Leon descended down towards the molten side, the scorching temperatures quickly rose the closer he approached.

Blacksmiths were lucky to still be alive due to their cultivation at the 3-Star Ranked Awakener Realm, but their bodies were scorched badly.

As for everyone else below this level, it seemed that they did not make it.

Leon channeled Wood Energy in his hands and grabbed the few badly-scorched blacksmiths out of the molten soil and brought them back to safety.
