Electus - Chapter 503

The 3 grand masters seated their selves near the lava, Ignite gems glowing under their knees and the lava illuminating harder.

Huna, the only grand master in this town, softly spoke. “Start.”

Although her tone projected at a low volume, everyone heard her considering the silence stretching across this cavern.

Eric’s group along with Qutalis are waiting behind them, about 10 meters away and are ready if anything goes wrong.

Although typically a King wouldn’t be harmed by his subjects, they don’t even know these people for a week so granting too much trust doesn’t rule out the chances of a catastrophe.

And so, Justak the long haired grand master that stood on the lady’s right, grabbed a hold of an Ignite gem below him with his left hand and remained in that position.

“Ready.” Justak informed as his focus remained alured towards the blazing hot lava.

Upon acknowledgement, Rashlam the nearly bald man who also carried a short trimmed white beard, repeated what his friend did but just used the right hand instead, finally uttered with his tone calm. “Ready.”

“Jaluuti.” Huna called out, her tone slightly stronger this time which signified that the procedure was advancing.

And so without saying a word, Jaluuti began to float forward, holding Eric on her arms as if holding a baby and flying towards the lava.

It was fair to say that the young King rejected the idea of being cared like a child but the lava spirit didn’t ask for permission, her dedication towards helping Ignis almost sugar coats the fact that this was suicidal for her.

As for Eric, it was nice being carried and this portrayed the highest motherly comfort he experienced although they both hate each other and he could barely feel Jaluuti’s form.

The lava spirit swam about 30 meters towards the lava pool, floating slower for the sake of observing the last seconds of her unliving life.

Most who saw her could understand why she did it and none would want to go against it, only few would be willing to sacrifice their selves.

Finally, Jaluuti stopped moving forward and turned around to face the little crowd.

At that moment, Huna grabbed a hold of two Ignite gems beneath her and thundered. “Now!”

The gems they grabbed a hold of started losing their purple colour, captivated by a raging yellow colour.

Lava didn’t burst out of their palm but we can’t say that the manipulation these grand masters managed to manifest was comparable to what they were doing to the gems.

The lava in front of them raged to the left and right, a fine line pierced through the middle of the pool and pushed lava aside, making a canal of dry space.

That canal continued to grow bigger, now wide enough for someone to just drop down 10 meters below there and walk like a little bear without getting killed.

That 10 foot wide canal reached all the way to where Jaluuti along with Eric was floating on and revealed what was underneath the lava.

Ignite gems, a whole lot of them that glew strong enough to out match the lava’s illumination, granting what this group had never seen before, 2 walls of purple lava.

The Ignites gems however, shortly became out shined with what equals even in illumination but stands out like a zit thanks to its form and where it was located.

Right under Jaluuti stands a throne, big enough to fit a Calidum Lutum and encrusted with Ignite gems.

It’s a blur how the lava didn’t burn a new colour on the Ignite gems, they illuminate equal to the rest of its brothers that captivate the bottom of the pool, equal if not more.

Jaluuti slowly descended towards the throne, slipping her palms under Eric’s shoulders to set him down on the throne.

Although not nervous towards lava, Eric still mumbled through a question. “Do I uhhh… is this another crowning ceremony.”

Unwilling to start and banter while lava walls stand on their field of vision, Jaluuti shortly answered. “It is.”

Afterwards Jaluuti floated in front of the throne, her organless feet met the ground and the lady synced into a bow, that same bow that would make one look like a cat stretching.

What Eric witnessed next was something that he expected from an extra ordinarily skilled illusionist but not this way.

Jaluuti’s form started decreasing, descending towards the lesser as her form floated a few feet above the ground and made its way towards Eric, who’s feet can’t touch the ground because the throne was too big.

Her head deformed first and shifted to a thin wave like shape that took a couple of loops before it brushed Eric’s head.

The lady’s chest started deforming after and that took a few more seconds because she wasn’t a thin lady but carried curves that any sane man would crave.

From that point Eric’s vision became blurry, the boy couldn’t see what stood around him and that might be a good thing as seeing the big tough lady deform wasn’t so easy on the conscious.

But yet, as his vision became dim, the only thing he could think of was. “This throne poked holes in my butt.”

Before he knew it, vision became clear once more but such luxury wasn’t used more than a split second as the lava walls collapsed around him.

Luckily the pool was only a few meters deep and the lava’s heat can’t scorch the life out of Ignis. That rule remained the same be it here or in the old Lan Zhe.

For a few seconds, the little crowd in this cavern couldn’t see the young King, being submerged 10 meters deep in lava wasn’t so light.

As his head poked out of the surface, lava around him forced in all directions, arose 5 feet high and formed a few waves.

A simple boy’s body can’t have such an impact on the lava alone. No no, further power had encrusted his soul, Jaluuti’s sacrifice wasn’t without a reason.

As Eric put an attempt to swim, he could notice that the lava around him flopped around in such a pace that one would think a giant rock was piercing through the surface of the pool at earth shattering speeds.

This proved it, screams volumes even, the young Electus can finally manipulate lava!

Eric has finally become a level 3 lava controller, a magician!

Jaluuti’s sacrifice was well worth it, let’s just hope it won’t escape under appreciated.

As he arose out of the lava without causing any casualties, Ada rushed for a hug and afterwards pointed out. “Eric, why is your crown bigger now?”
