Divine Mask: I Have Numerous God Clones

Lucy ventured deeper into the heart of the Death Volcano, the oppressive heat licking at her skin, the rivers of molten lava flowing like veins in the earth. It was as if the volcano itself welcomed her, its searing heat an old friend rather than a threat.

But as she continued her path, a subtle shift in the atmosphere made her slow her steps. The air grew heavier, denser, and the ground trembled faintly beneath her feet.

She narrowed her eyes, scanning the fiery caverns ahead. Then, from the shadows, hulking figures emerged, their massive forms illuminated by the glow of lava dripping from their bodies. Their eyes burned with a malevolent, orange light, locked onto her with a singular focus.

"Lava Golems..." Lucy muttered under her breath, her voice calm but sharp with focus. Her expression was unreadable, though her posture remained relaxed, almost as if she welcomed the challenge.

There were many of them, their bodies made of molten rock, radiating intense heat. Some were six-star, lumbering slowly with the weight of their enormous frames. But there were a few—larger, more imposing—whose power reached seven stars.

"There are quite a few," she mused, her eyes sweeping across the golems that had now begun to close in, each step they took cracking the ground beneath their weight.

Lucas, perched safely a few paces behind, noticed the tightening of his sister's grip. "They think they can stop her with this?" he thought, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.

He leaned against a jagged rock, his arms crossed casually, watching the scene unfold. His amusement was evident in the playful glint in his eyes.

"Stay back, Lucas," Lucy said firmly, her voice steady and unwavering, though she didn't bother turning to face him.

"As if I'd interfere," Lucas responded with a chuckle, nodding as he shifted his weight. "You seem like you're about to have some fun, sister." His tone was light, but there was a knowing edge behind it.

Lucy's lips curled into a faint smirk. She flexed her fingers, and in an instant, her hands ignited with fiery energy. Her Volcanic Dragon Claws sprang to life, glowing a deep red as the heat in the air shimmered around her. "This won't take long."

The golems, sensing her readiness, lumbered forward, their massive fists raised to strike. The ground shook beneath their advance, but Lucy remained unbothered.

With a swift, graceful motion, Lucy lunged forward, her claws crackling with molten energy. The first golem barely had time to react as her claws slashed through its rocky form, its body shattering upon impact. Lava sprayed across the ground, hissing and bubbling as the golem collapsed into a heap of rubble.

"Too slow," Lucy muttered, her voice cool and composed, as though she had merely swatted away an insect.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But the other golems were undeterred. Two more advanced, their massive fists raised high, glowing with the same molten energy that coursed through their bodies. They struck with earth-shattering force, their fists crashing down toward her in tandem. Find adventures at m_v l|e-NovelBin

Lucas's eyes narrowed as he watched, but there was no trace of worry in his expression. If anything, he seemed entertained. "They'll regret that."

The golems' massive fists came down—but the moment they touched Lucy, the lava coating their hands splashed harmlessly against her skin. The molten rock dripped down her arms, but not a single burn marred her. In fact, her skin seemed to absorb the heat, leaving her entirely unscathed.

Lucy's smile widened as she stood amidst the fiery onslaught, the heat of the lava feeding into her rather than harming her. Her eyes glinted with amusement, and with a quick flick of her wrist, her Volcanic Dragon Claws tore through another golem, its body crumbling to dust.

"Is that all?" she said, her voice dripping with mock disappointment. The seven-star golems, sensing the danger, hesitated for a brief moment, their molten forms flickering as if questioning whether to continue. But it was too late.

Lucy dashed forward, her claws glowing even brighter as she ripped through the seven-star golems as easily as she had the others. Their once-imposing forms fell apart with each strike, their molten bodies splattering uselessly at her feet.

From the sidelines, Lucas leaned back against a jagged rock, his arms casually crossed, a playful grin tugging at the corners of his lips. He watched the spectacle unfold before him—Lucy was tearing through the lava golems with such ease it seemed like a game to her.

"Sister Lucy is really just playing with them," Lucas murmured, his tone dripping with amusement as he raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed on her flawless movements.

The system's voice cut in, brimming with arrogant pride. [Playing? That's an understatement, host. She's toying with them like a child pulling the wings off insects.] It let out a smug chuckle, clearly enjoying itself.

[You know why, don't you? That special physique of hers—Molten Lava Core—makes her immune to anything volcanic. These poor fools are practically fueling her with every hit.]

Lucas chuckled softly, his eyes glinting with humor as he watched yet another golem fall to Lucy's molten claws. "Fueling her, huh?" he echoed, a smirk playing on his lips. "Guess they're making things easier for her without even knowing it."

[Naturally,] the system continued, its voice dripping with shameless glee. [It's almost sad... almost. But, hey, they wouldn't stand a chance even if they knew! She's not just a step ahead, she's leagues beyond them. Too bad they're too slow and stupid to realize it.]

Lucas stifled a laugh, shaking his head at the system's mockery. "You're enjoying this way too much."

[And why shouldn't I?] the system shot back, its tone filled with gleeful arrogance. [You mortals rarely get to witness such effortless domination. You should be grateful I'm here to narrate it for you. Without me, this would just be a silent massacre.]

Lucas rolled his eyes, the smile never leaving his face. "Right, right. Let's just sit back and enjoy the show then." His tone was light, but the satisfaction in his eyes mirrored the system's smugness as he continued to watch his sister make quick work of the remaining golems.
