Chapter 249 - Mistaken as a Demon

"You sure do know a lot about such sensitive information." Pointed out Eric, trying to find the actual source of her never ending knowledge. This isn't exactly things you can find in a book here, in fact he didn't even see any books in Maleemia so far. Perhaps there just used to be books based on ill.u.s.tratian history, it isn't a shock if the snow Ignites threw them(The books) down the mountainside.

"The King loved to boast about Snow Ignite history often, even about sensitive information like this one. As for finding this place, it was partially from rumours but mostly won out of a conversation Medea Grivas had with the King. They wanted to storm this place for this precious dark blue ore." She definetly isn't hoarding information, as if they all put the past behind and are looking towards cooperation. Although he threatened them, Mogranius does want to seal that portal in any way possible. If not for this group of people, he wants to seal it for the rest of Ignis. These demons destroy everything in sight and are in search of Demonite too. "I'm sure we will run into it."

Pulling out the dagger he stole from the deceased King, he boasted. "You mean ore of which this Dagger is made off?" You would think that the ladies would take it from him when they knocked both of these men out, but no he stuffed it down to his fur clothing near the crotch. Stupidly dangerous but at least he still has it. "I stole the King's entire bag of this dark blue ore and products out of it, but i left them at the former cave."

"No way to get in now." Joked around Bittore with a laugh, but indeed did show care too. "A pity really, we could have borrowed them to make their production easier."

"So you killed them all for the ore?" Became Mogranius more direct than ever, not that he cared for the Snow Ignites, the feeling of connection with them is far gone. They turned out to be more evil than the ill.u.s.tratios, Mogranius doesn't remember them being like that. He didn't become dramatic about it either, he just casually asked it as they continued to walk in aims of reaching the end of the second section.

"Well not exactly, but I suppose it is a nice bonus." She stated with a good wide smirk, proud of her own work and gains. "Making a few full sets of armour out of these ores will grant us superiority in defense in case of attackers, I suppose it worked out well even though it had many ups and downs."

"Or explosions." Added Mogranius as a joke but his tone remained firm. So far throughout this task, one eye of his has been on the structure they are at and the other eye is on Bittore. Well not that way! He is just expecting her to stab their backs sooner or later.

"Haha true." Bittore laughed, but her joy was cut short when she noticed a unique creature down here. Did I say unique? I meant disgusting!

At first its red eyes shone in the through the dark, making her think that more of these Demons are coming! She was quite ready for battle, blasting Fire out of her palms and shooting towards it.

When the Fireball gave the place illumination, they figured out that she didn't exactly shoot a demon but this creature sure looks like it came from hell. "Squeak squeak squeak!" The creature shouted as half of its upper body was burned into a crisp by the 3 foot wide short tailed Fire Ball.

The illumination made the rest see a group of these creatures a few meters away and they indeed began to charge when they saw their pack member burned into a crisp, two of them though stopped and began to feed on the carcass.

"Kill them kill them kill them kill them kill them kill them!" Bittore repeated in anxiety as she flew 10 meters above the ground to avoid these creatures.

Running out of the shadow and reaching Mogranius' illumination radius, Eric finally managed to have a better look at these creatures for a split second before he shoot 5 down with a 6 foot wide long tailed Fireball.

The shot also victimized three others behind, it burned their faces badly and some lost their feet. They weren't dead but sure started running around in panic thinking that they will outrun the pain. Good enough Bittore, shot down those injured creatures from above.

Eric managed to see a rat like face, even saw a red like tail at the end of them. This sure portrays a rat or anything similar, but this jackass is 2 foot tall! Imagine seeing a rat as big as that! To make it a lot worse, these rats appeared to have these bug like legs at the side of their waist. Considering what he saw, he hoped he was blind for that moment or hallucinated. This is the last thing he wanted to see, he never saw anything like it though.

"No wonder Bittore is scared of them." He thought as he rubbed his tongue against the roof of his teeth to hold in the laughter. These creatures are disgusting but the all powerful Bittore being scared of these over grown rats? It is beyond hilarious, he would laugh from the top of his lungs if he wasn't shooting these rats down at the moment.

Putting this pac of rats to an end, Mogranius shut down the torch like Fire on his palm once he got a good sign of where they exactly are and afterwards shot 3 Fireballs in a row. Starting it with the left hand, he shoot a 4 foot Fireball. A split second later he shot with the right hand a 2 foot wide long tailed Fireball. For the final shot he joined his hands together, locked his fingers and shot as he slapped the floor beneath him with both of his feet.

A plate like 7 foot Fireball blasted from his fists and blew the remaining over grown rats against the wall close by. One would think that this is a Fire ball who would knock the daylights out of you, it was only half a foot thick but indeed powerful.

Still flying high, Bittore asked. "Are they all dead?" She got even more scared now that there is no illumination below.

To give her relief, Mogranius lit a bit of Fire on his hand to grant illumination and raised his tone. "Yes yes they are dead." Just to bring her down, giving out a little laugh after when he thought of how scared she was of creatures who are this easily killable.

"God I hate these Ratbugs." She stated when her feet met the ground and walked away from them as much as she could.

"Look at this thing, it has to be 20 Kilos." Stated Mogranius as he approached one of the carcasses. "Is their meat edible?" He asked as he grabbed his stomach who is now roaring that he is smelling torched meat.

"Yes but it tastes incredibly sour, it will make you thirsty." She stated as she stood behind Eric to avoid the carcasses as much as possible. Its not like they will explode but she clearly doesn't favour these creatures to a point of a phobia.

Quite used of eating random creatures in the Forest due to his intense curiosity which led to months long exploring, he knows how to use a dead animal to its bone. "That's what the blood is for I think I should point out." Mogranius explained as he used his unique dagger to cut off the pair of legs that aren't bug like.

Raising the leg over his head after, and trying to catch the dripping blood with his mouth to quench his own thirst. "Gross why would you eat that while you still have Blue Eagle meat in your bag!" Shouted Eric as he almost hurled across the floor, this scene is indeed disgusting and he is having it hard to keep his food on his stomach.

"I'm curious!" He explained before he swallowed a mouthful of blood and yelled enough for his tone to echo across the tunnel close by. "Hiyuuuu!" He shouted like a man who jumps in cold water. The taste came in quite as a shock of course, I mean common it is Ratbug blood.

"This tastes worse than wild boar blood." He stated as he started torching the leg with his other hand To cook it for later. It is interesting how far appetite would push a human being, or at this case curiosity.

"Then why the hell are you cooking it?" Asked Bittore, but more had a goal of scolding him. She sure wanted for him to drop this leg down.

With a voice much like a child who is trying not to get his or her toy taken away, he explained. "I never tasted Ratbug meat."
