Chapter 1151 Moving To The Volcanic Lands
—–
My daughters got themselves some accessories, Benladra got some earrings, and Kate got herself a necklace. The earrings didn’t need her to pierce her tiny ears though, so Benladra easily equipped them.
They had the shape of beautiful drops of water. With all the equipment they have gotten, they now have some power over Nature, Life, Sands, and Water and Time… Though I don’t know how strong are their own equipment, it shouldn’t be so different than mine, but adjusted to be accessories and the like, right?
The trident also seems to be similar to the knife, but instead of agility boost, it has attack and piercing damage boost, which is not bad at all, all things considered. With that said, suddenly, we heard a voice just when we were beginning to relax…
“As their greed never ended, they took down the Guardian of the Oceans of Time, controlling the oceans that dictated the endless blow of time through its waves…”
FLAAASH!
And as those words whispered to us, a beautiful blue jewel emerged before us, in the shape of a wondrous blue orb, which fell into the palm of my hands.
Ding!
[You acquired the [Blue Orb of Oceans (??? Grade)]!]

[Blue Orb of Oceans (??? Grade)]
A mysterious Blue Orb imbued with the mystical power of Water itself. It contains a primordial power within this world, and it might react with the Tree of Yggdrasil once you collect the other four Orbs.

“This is the fourth orb! We’ve got the last one left.” I sighed in relief. “Alright, let’s get to it everyone!”
“Yeah!” Benladra said.
“Yay!” Kate said happily.
“So where do we go now- Ah, the Volcanic lands, right?” Miranda saw at the distance, an enormous volcano was surrounded by a barren land with several rivers of boiling lava.
“Yep, that should be the last place of this small continent~” Benladann said. “We’ve never visited such a hot place before though… Can we handle it as Ice Beings?”
“Come on Benladann, we are gods at this point it doesn’t matter.” Sighed Miranda.
“But I am still worried about my little babies… What if they get something like… a fever?!” Benladann’s motherly instincts were kicking off strongly.
“No feva!” Said Benladra.
“Muh!” Kate agreed.
“See? They’re saying they won’t get fever.” Said Miranda.
“I think it would be a bit exaggerated, they’re also half-dragons, so that’s kind of impossible.” I sighed. “Relax for now, Benladann, everything’s alright. Let’s go beat the last Field Boss so we can finish this and see what’s at the end of the road.”
Like that, we flew through the skies rapidly. It hasn’t even been an hour since we got here, so we’ve been sweeping through all the bosses rather easily, although with a slight amount of challenge, which made it more fun than anything.
“Come to think of it, aren’t we going to Muspelheim next?” Asked Miranda.
“Yep.” Benladann said. “Can’t wait to go there and meet the fire dragons!”
“But isn’t that place filled with fire too?” Asked Miranda again.
“Huh?! It is?!” Benladann asked worriedly.
“Yes, Muspelheim is the Land of Fire. Volcanoes decorate most of the landscape, rivers of lava flowing everywhere, and big hot jungles. Oh, and of course, tons of natural hot springs~!” I said while imagining going to a natural hot spring.
“Oh, I had kind of forgotten about it. I wonder if the Fire Giants adapted as much as we did with our freezing temperatures? Also the hot springs don’t sound bad at all. In fact, doesn’t it sound nice? I guess I was being a bit irrational.” Benladann said. “Sorry about that, dear.”
“Don’t worry. I think there might actually be some natural instinct within the genes of the Ice Giants that put them nervous about going to Muspelheim. After all, the Ancient Conflict between Ice Giants and Fire Giants was a thing that happened long ago, in the Era of the Gods.” I said.
“Oh I remember it… It said that both Fire Giants and Ice Giants once had a war to decide the ownership of Jotunheim, the land where all Giants originated from.” Benladann said. “It was a battle so massive that two other barren realms were devastated by their elemental powers, turning into the Land of Endless Fire, Muspelheim, and the Land of Endless Snow, Niflheim.”
“What about the Mountain Giants?” Asked Miranda.
“Oh those are not mentioned… Mountain Giants are like Fire and Ice Giants… but of Earth. Because they’re more peaceful by nature, they often wander around mountains and never really got into big confrontations.” Benladann said. “Or that’s what my parents told me… I don’t really know if this all true.”
“I have yet to talk with a true titan yet, I have spoken with the Frost Queen, the closest to them, and she doesn’t seem to have any clear idea either. The other gods that protect Jotunheim are also titans but don’t possess the Ancient Bloodlines, which would make them ageless like us dragons.” I said while thinking about it.
“Interesting… The whole lore of this world is always intriguing, but right now we should concentrate in what’s in front of us right now… We’ve arrived.” Miranda said, pointing at the Volcanic Lands, the enormous Volcano in the middle of these lands was overflowing with large quantities of lava and flames pouring everywhere…
We slowly descended into the hot ground, as Benladann looked around, quickly beginning to sweat. It was indeed quite hot even for us gods… this whole place, like the others, was imbued with extremely rich quantities of fire attribute divine power…
“Ugh… Phew… It is indeed hot here…” Benladann sighed.
“Y-Yeah, I feel like I might melt…” Miranda began to literally melt.
“G R R R R R R H H H H…!”
And just as I was about to conjure a spell to relieve them, the roar of a gargantuan beast reverberated across the volcanic lands… it emerged directly from the depths of the volcano.
