Without warning, a section of the ground twenty meters ahead exploded violently. Columns of lava shot upward like geysers reaching dozens of meters high, the molten rock spraying in every direction.
"Move!" Caelus shouted.
They barely dodged to the side in time, the heat from the eruption washing over them even from a distance.
Another eruption occurred behind them seconds later without any warning pattern.
"It is random!" Sylvia yelled over the roaring lava.
"The volcano itself is trying to kill us," Caelus replied, his eyes scanning constantly for the next eruption.
The lava from the eruptions began moving unnaturally. Small Fire Spirits emerged from the molten rock, taking vaguely humanoid shapes made entirely of flames. They were not particularly strong compared to other monsters they had faced, but their presence added another layer of danger.
