Chapter 189 - Ravage
Argus gaped at the sharp bolt; he realized he couldn’t even cry if he wanted. He couldn’t imagine how a dignified level-16 Archmage like him could end up so miserable. If he could, he would rather not have come to the Fire Plume Ridge by himself, nor send someone to keep watch on the Silver Hand camp.
Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything…
Argus was a piece of meat on their chopping board at present; the only thing he could do was to look pitifully at the fellow resurrected from death, hoping that the latter could be gentler with his actions later.

If he remembered correctly, there was a type of creature called the Ore Devouring Beast that liked to make its appearance in this way…
“Run!” Lin Li yelled. He pulled Sean with him as he planned to leave this place.
But as soon as he moved, he saw the splattering of a monstrous firelight. A lump of lava spurted out, blocking the way of the two men like a wall of fire. An extremely striking red shadow was in the midst of that lump of lava…
