Although they all knew that once something went wrong, the chance of rescue would be almost zero.

The temperature of volcanic magma ranges from several hundred to several thousand degrees, and the hottest magma can melt steel in a short time.

If things got out of control, Lisa's fate would inevitably be cremated on the spot.

To ease the tense atmosphere, Roland gently asked Christine, "Miss Saintess, the blessing you bestowed on her just now was?"

"Life Mark."

Christine calmly explained, "The Life Mark won't save her, but it can detect whether her life is still continuing."

Roland nodded, saying nothing.

Christine didn't approve of Lisa's adventurous act, but she did not say it outright.

Under everyone's gaze, Lisa walked towards the depths of the magma.

She took out the prepared iron shovel, intending to carve a new path through the magma, yet the shovel quickly twisted and deformed.

Fortunately, she anticipated the difficulties and had prepared more than one shovel.

After several shovels were rendered useless, Roland tossed over the last shovel.

This was a specially made Auric Shovel. Ultra heat-resistant, it won't deform below three thousand degrees.

If the Auric Shovel deforms, it also means she cannot continue forward, which was Roland's warning device to Lisa.

Before she ventured into the magma, Roland repeatedly admonished her to act within her capabilities.

There are plenty of opportunities to become stronger, but once dead, there's nothing left.

Lisa kept her head down, continuously digging, constantly replenishing energy for the pale-red protection shield.

She didn't have time to wipe sweat away, as it evaporated almost as soon as it was produced.

She was very sure she hadn't found the wrong place.

The summoning feeling grew stronger and stronger.

No doubt, it's here!

She clearly felt that this was the only opportunity equivalent to Sif's level.

If she missed this opportunity, she could only be a vine clinging to Roland, the big tree.

She didn't want to be the vine.

If one day she became a burden to Roland, she would rather leave quietly.

But she understood Roland; despite his carefree demeanor, he actually cared deeply about those around him.

He would never abandon her, even if taking her along would only slow him down.

If unsuccessful, she'd rather turn into a burst of fireworks and burn out in the depths of the volcano.

"Bang!"

A scorching stone spurted up from the bottom of the magma, spinning towards Lisa.

She swung the Auric Shovel to deflect the stone.

Volcanic activity was intensifying.

Roland saw the volcanic disturbance and called out Lisa's name loudly from above.

"Lisa, come up quickly, the volcano is about to erupt!"

"I know, it's moving! I found it!"

Roland's expression changed slightly.

Damn it, Lisa lied; it was the first time in all these years.

Before going down, she promised to leave in case of danger, but she broke her word after going down.

Roland understood very well the reason for Lisa's stubbornness.

She simply refused to admit defeat.

Lisa, who never had the heart of a strong person, was extraordinarily stubborn this time.

Roland rushed towards the volcano, but the heat wave pushed him back.

He didn't understand flame manipulation and couldn't get close to the volcano at all.

Now, no one could save Lisa except herself.

And Roland knew very well that if she couldn't find the sensed Divine Artifact, she'd rather die in there than voluntarily come out.

Roland turned his gaze to Anthony.

Watching Anthony, who was so tense that he didn't bother to wipe away his sweat, Roland already knew the outcome.

The mage was good at manipulating flames, which didn't mean he could withstand flame erosion.

The transcendent's fire attack power was not as powerful as the mage's, but they could move freely within flames.

The mage was powerful, the transcendent was precise.

That was their difference.

Roland looked towards Christine as if searching for a lifeline in the ocean, but she slowly shook her head.

The magma spread relentlessly, engulfing Lisa, her entire being trapped in the magma. She gripped the shovel tightly, watching the tip of the Auric Shovel twist and deform, making her heart tremble.

Going deeper, the temperature of the magma would surpass her limit of endurance.

With immense heat, there was no place to dissipate, and she could only rely on the protection shield to endure for a short time.

Could she fish treasures out of the magma in such a short time?

Could she return alive after retrieving the treasure? She didn't know either.

Her eyes flickered with resolve, and she suddenly looked back.

Amidst the scorching flames and thick smoke, Roland saw her mouthing clearly.

"Lisa!"

He couldn't help but cry out, and then he saw the Lisa who used to feel pain for half a day from touching hot food disappearing into the magma like a butterfly into the sea of fire.

Gathering his strength, he uttered a light shout to sustain the Divine Protection.

Under the Divine Protection's shelter, he could approach the volcano further but couldn't protect Lisa, who headed towards certain death.

"Whoosh!"

The long spear pierced through the night sky, landing accurately three meters in front of Roland, its tail still trembling.

This was the long spear thrown by Sif.

The spot where the long spear landed was the border between life and death.

Cross this line, even with Divine Protection, and one would still die sooner or later.

Golden light enveloped Roland as he continued forward.

Christine didn't stop him.

Adults have the right to make choices, and all she could do was respect them.

Of course, she only respected Lisa, who would risk her life in search of breakthrough.

If Roland was crazy enough to walk into the crater, that would be foolish.

Sif, standing guard not far away, felt her heart leap to her throat and almost exclaimed but held back.

She respected Lisa's choice and also respected Roland's will.

If Lisa were to die here, she would mourn for this brave girl. If Roland...

Roland had a brain, he wouldn't do anything stupid...

Right?

Sif's heart was racing.

No one is perfectly rational; if Roland really lost control, perhaps he would jump in.

If he jumped, what would she do? Sif's mind went blank.

Anthony stood on high ground, staring intently at the spot where Lisa vanished, his large hand tightly clenched, sweat beads continuously trickling down.
