Chapter 440: Melty
The [Creatures] tab scrolled endlessly, becoming a blur of mundane icons and forgettable names. Kaiden swiped downward until the moment the interface changed.
The pale grey border framing the [Common Creatures] menu suddenly warped into a darker hue. The icons pulsed with deep crimson. Even through the interface, the presence of what lay below felt heavier.
[Abyssal Creatures]
The list reorganized itself with a single pulse. Gone were the direwolves and goblins. The new entries oozed pure menace.
The very first one stole Kaiden’s attention.
[Abyssal Salamawyrm]
Base Level Range: 1–99
Cost: 1 DMP (Lvl 1) → 500 DMP (Lvl 99)
Description: A lava-born predator that swims through molten rock as easily as water. Its body is scaled in volcanic minerals, with blood hotter than magma itself. Known for ambushing prey from beneath molten rivers, it devours both flesh and soul alike.
Kaiden’s grin spread ear to ear.
"Oh, jackpot already. Or maybe the system showed me exactly what I was searching for?"
Indeed, Kaiden didn’t believe that a mere magma river was enough to stop all invaders. He knew that some humans were much scarier than monsters. Furthermore, he was not just dealing with strong awakened, but also great awakened crafters. Maybe one of them could create magma-resistant suits in preparation to invade his land.
