Chapter 304 [0301] Fire! Fire! Fire!
Kalya did want to prepare a temporary test for Lux - but considering that Lux had seen through his idea, Lux successfully passed the test before it even started.
So, Kalya simply chose to tell everything he knew.
The power that Bakay, who had protected the Oil Silk Oasis for generations, was pursuing did come from a fragment of a monolith.
And the monolith was the ultimate weapon built by the Shurima Empire to bridge the void rift - this is a giant floating fortress made entirely of elemental magic. The inorganic fortress can resist the erosion of the void to the greatest extent, and the commanding attack can also avoid the void creatures from interfering with the operator of the monolith as much as possible.
Relying on the super-reinforced magic circuit, the Shurima Ascendants gathered their power together and launched a desperate battle with the void face to face.
This floating city, which represents the highest achievement of Shurima civilization, finally successfully completed its mission, forcibly cleared the nearly endless void creatures pouring out of the void rift, and closed the void rift bit by bit.
However, victory was not without cost.
Before this void channel was closed, the terrifying energy of the void plane delivered the final blow to the Monolith. A beam of light that was enough to crack all existence passed through the Monolith Fortress and completely destroyed this huge floating city.
Even though this fortress used the most stable and solid materialized rock element as its foundation, it still fell apart in an instant under the cracking of this light.
Although defense preparations had been made, when the Monolith Fortress was destroyed, the Ascendants who provided it with power were still eroded and infected by the void. As long as they were swept by that ray, no matter how powerful the Ascendants were, they were instantly distorted and reduced to darkborn.
"So, you were there at that time?"
"Yeah, I was lucky. I was just scratched a little. At least my brain was not burned by the void." Kalya's tone was quite open-minded. "After that, the Monolith Fortress was broken into pieces and turned into countless pieces of rubble. Some of them filled the crack, and some were scattered in the desert."
"And the Bakay here got a piece?"
"Yes." Kalya affirmed, "Although I don't know how he got this monolith fragment, it is a very dangerous thing. It contains high-purity compressed rock elements and may also be attached with residual void energy."
"So, the test you prepared for me is to get back this monolith fragment?"
"No, it's not that simple." Kalya smiled, "If only If you only want to retrieve the fragments of the monolith, then this test is not difficult at all - I hope that you can get the fragments of the monolith without affecting the lives of the oasis survivors. "
"Don't affect their lives?" Lux asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"The fragments of the monolith have the ability to manipulate rocks, sense vibrations, and defend against spells." Kalya explained, "Although Bakay's use of this power is likely to cause his own elementalization and turn him into a stone man, I believe you can understand how important these are to people living in an oasis."
"Yes." Lux nodded, "If the fragments of the monolith have the functions you said, then without this fragment of the monolith, I'm afraid that these desert survivors will lose their early warning and defense once they encounter danger!"
"So, I hope you can think about it. A way to solve this problem."
"Since you were once an ascender, don't you know how to use the monolithic fragments correctly?" Lux thought for a moment and asked, "You are a witness of that war!"
"That's why I said you passed the test in advance." Kalya said helplessly, "I wanted to pretend that I didn't know the monolithic fragments, and then guide you to explore its characteristics little by little, and then find a way to control it, but you reacted quickly..."
"So what I have to do now is to wait for these guys on camels to leave, and then take the initiative to talk to Baka here?" Lux understood what Kalya meant, "and then take away part of the monolithic fragments and leave a small piece?"
"So smart!" Kalya said in a tone that was teachable , "A fair and reasonable transaction. A piece of stone that is too big is difficult to control and operate. It's better for you to take one. This will be good for everyone."
"It sounds good. If I hadn't guessed it, it would be just like the kind of passionate and kingly story in the novel." Lux couldn't help but snorted again, "But, Karya, I'm too old to read such stories!"
"Ah, right, right!"
"What's your attitude... Wait, did I see it wrong? Over there, it seems to be on fire?"
"You're not wrong." Karya, who noticed something was wrong, put away his attitude of playing bad, "It's indeed on fire over there."
"You seem to have told me that it's difficult to extinguish the oil silk once it's on fire?"
"That's right." Karya said solemnly, "This is definitely someone's deliberate arson!"
"Who set the fire?" Lux finally stopped crawling to hide her figure, but stood up suddenly, "No, there's no time to think about this, I'll call Ino to put out the fire now! ”

The raging flames were like a rolling dragon. Since they appeared, they spread hundreds of yards in the blink of an eye.
The oil-rich leaves of the oil silk plant are difficult to ignite when they are not burning, but once ignited, the flames will be unstoppable.
Although this camel cavalry team still maintained its formation, when the fire hit and the hot air brought by the high temperature swept through like a physical body, the originally docile camels suddenly became manic.
Even though the owner was right next to them and even though the riders tried to appease them, the camels still started to run wildly, trying to escape from the sea of fire.
In this situation, even an elite force that obeys orders will inevitably fall into chaos, not to mention that this camel cavalry regiment currently has no leader and has lacked training for some time.
So, as if the camp was blown up, the soldiers who were originally in neat formation, after finding that they could not appease the frightened camels, could only scramble to climb onto the camels and rush to the east and north.
This place cannot be left, go quickly!
Of course, there were a few people who were still thinking about Kaf. They approached the direction of the lake and tried to pick up their leader, but before they came to the lake and found tools to cross the water, the calm earth under their feet suddenly trembled.
After the flames were lit, the ground shook.
Kalya's Little Classroom·Butterfly Effect:
Because of Kalya, the battle of Icathia has changed a lot, and Malphite is not the only one left with the fragment of the monolith.
PS. I failed to grab the sofa, and there is another chapter in the evening.
Wow, what should I do if I can't grab the sofa, wow!
