Boom!
Another deafening explosion echoed throughout the Vermillion Flame Realm.
The enormous volcano shook violently.
Cracks spread across nearby mountains.
Rivers of magma erupted into the sky.
Yet the ancient gate hidden beneath the volcano remained standing.
Unmoving.
Unshaken.
Unyielding.
Situ stood before the barrier with a serious expression.
His clothes were torn.
His fists were covered with blood.
Even his breathing had become slightly heavy.
For three days and three nights, he and Goro had continuously attacked the seal.
Neither had rested.
Neither had stopped.
But despite their efforts, the barrier remained intact.
Only the ripples on its surface had grown slightly larger.
Nearby, Goro sat atop a giant boulder.
His enormous chest rose and fell heavily.
The giant was exhausted.
His countless punches had shattered mountains.
Yet the gate remained unharmed.
Goro scratched his head.
"This thing is harder than rocks."
Situ laughed.
