Chapter 136: Chained to the wall
"What is going on up there?"
Irwin stood at the edge of the roof, staring at the distant volcano. The stream of Imps had reached the halfway point, while the explosions continued at the top.
Who are they fighting if the Imps aren't there yet, he thought before turning to Ignalia.
The heat that radiated from the distant volcano seemed to make her feel much better.
"Let's continue up. Can you use your teleport skill if you have to?" Irwin asked.
"Definitely," Ignalia said.
"Then let's continue and see what's going on."
Taking a look over the edge, he saw there was no sign of any Imps, so he jumped forward. Slamming into the ground, he felt the tremors. Followed by Ignalia, they ran after the Imps, staying out of sight by keeping to the rougher areas to the side of the path that led up. Although it slowed them, they were still faster than the Imps, and half an hour later, Irwin slowed down.
They had caught up to the Imps, and they were now closing in on the area of explosions.
First, the fighting when we entered, now this… he thought as he tried to see what was causing the ruckus. Sadly, the billowing plumes of yellow gas dust and debris that burst out with each explosion made it impossible to see.
Focusing on the Imps, he noticed that the Pale Imps were moving along the sides of the main force while two Brutal Imps stood at the back. At times, some of the normal Imps seemed to get distracted or interested and rushed away from the line, only for the Brutal Imps to shout orders, keeping them in line.
"What do you think is going on up there?" Irwin asked.
