Chapter 251 - Impact

They walked their way up the Staircase, to find their selves glaring upon a portal carrying a purple like colour, spanning 6 meters horizontally across the ground! If finding a portal here deep in the mountainside isn't interesting enough, its true colour is overwhelmed by the purple light the Ignite Gems are providing above their heads!

Yes the ceiling of this room is filled with them, perhaps it is what the Snow Ignites where after? One Ignite Gem can be sold for 100 Gold Coins, this place was made before the 100 year long war and its terrible 100 year aftermath, so trading wasn't neccesarily hard. The prices a few centuries ago perhaps were smaller but it still met the economy standards at that time.

Another sign that this specific room isn't modified, is the fact that there are no fancy over the top carvings. There is just rock and dirt around, nothing fancy about it. It portrays a normal cave. There are two possible options of what happened up here!

The first option, is that this portal was here before this domain was even made! It was probably stuck up here and the Demons had no where to go but to turn back or fight for survival. The second option, is that this portal appeared shortly after the Snow Ignites dug up here. A good sign about it, is that the staircase of which rises 20 meters is well constructed but everything else in this room isn't.

However that doesn't really matter now, they need to act before more demons puke out of this place. One thing that can work to their advantage, is that whoever is blasting these Demons through this portal probably figured it out that there is no effect, no good result. So he or she might not send Demons here, at least not before they find out a way to seal it!

"What the hell is this? Where is the hell hole?!" Asked Bittore with a shout, breaking the silence since the other two haven't spoken a word yet ever since they met with this unusual technology!

"Well... I think we should call this a fancy hell hole." Slowly spoke Mogranius in a low tone, as he looked around this cave to figure a way that would lead towards their success with termination.

"What the hell is a fancy hell hole?" Asked Bittore immediately feeling irritated, as she eyed the Ignite Gems above their head. There has to be over 10,000 Gold Coins worth of gems up there, that's a prediction. There are possibly more!

"Forget about hell, how do we shut this hell hole down?" Asked Eric, well more like commanded. Because as beautiful as this portal is, he doesn't want to see it nor fight off a wave of Demons.

"Stop saying hell, for hell's sake!" Shouted Mogranius, trying to tame the damage control of such a over used word in a matter of second.

Having a second look at the Ignite Gems above their head, Mogranius dared to ask something that at first appears like it doesn't meet this situation. "Can Fire brake an Ignite Gem?"

"What?" Shouted Bittore, feeling bewildered of this question. The portal has already grabbed her focus, she isn't one to focus on two confusing things at once.

"Can Fire break an Ignite Gem?" Repeated Mogranius trying to keep his tone low in aims of not grabbing attention from anything standing on the other side of this fancy hell hole.

"It can, but why do you ask that now?" She still didn't manage to catch up, the portal has taken a lot of her focus or otherwise a lady who can scheme as good as her would be able to sense the pattern of his plan!

"Can we use the Dragon Eye to blow this cave down?" The idea crazy indeed, but his face remained serious.

It threw Bittore into shock, and she immediately disagreed. "I'm not planning to blow this entire place down god damn it!" She yelled from the top of her lungs like a panicking boar. To sacrifice this much and to loose their win due to such a bizarre plan? "I won't allow this even if I have to fight you to death." She thought, but didn't speak it by word just yet.

"I don't plan too either. Keep your voice down god damn it, we have to use this silence to our advantage unless you want to fight another horde of Demons!" Loudly whispered Mogranius as he rubbed his teeth against each other firmly, making a rough squeaking sound. Obviously holding in rage he added, "Can we make a smaller blast? One that won't blow us into bits?"

"Um. Yes..." Mumbling her way through after she added. "I mean... I never... I never tried it but... we are only 3 people so... so very possible." She started panicking, because she doesn't quite know how to succeed in this situation and feels like the weakest here with her options limited. Her anxiety is sky high, even feels like she needs to go to a hole and let out a dunk.

"Let's do it and quick!" Mogranius let out a loud whisper. "Me and Eric can charge it quickly. Pull out the eye!"

Seeing that this can be their only option to completely block the portal or at least its surroundings, she pulled out the Dragon Eye and lifted it above her head. Nervous enough, indeed panicking internally she still could warn. "Take a few steps back and just blast continues fire." Letting go of the orb with one hand and using that hand to rub her temples until she can focus, she then added. "Count until 5 and stop blasting Fire, Eric count until 3 and then start blasting Fire. We can't let two sources stay together for two long or we can all die here!"

It is a mystery how she knows that specific piece of information even though she just tried it twice until now, but that's to think about later. At least they can ensure safety! "Done." Replied Mogranius and he swiftly took several steps back.

Without the usual sumo squat, he proceeded to blast Fire out of both his palms and without saying them out loud he started counting. "1, 2, 3."

Afterwards he saw Eric blasting a tremendous amount of Fire near him, it almost even dragged Mogranius along with the Fire considering how fast it passed through. "4, 5." He finished counting trying not to loose his focus.

A good show indeed, the massive amount of Fire was forced towards compression the closer it got to the Eye. Sparing Bittore her Fingers from being blown off, indeed a powerful tool... or body part. It makes one think that such technology indeed came from a powerful being.

3 counts after, Eric too stopped blasting Fire from his limbs. The Orb after began to shine in a fire like matter. With a dark shade of red and a mild shade of yellow, as if a Fireball has started forming on her hand.

Aiming at the bundle of Ignite gems after, and like the procedure requires she has to blast Fire from the hand possessing the Eye. Trying not to miss such an important shot, she took a few seconds to find a proper aim.

Finally blasting, she felt the force of the pole like concentrated shot shooting from the Dragon Eye. It didn't hit her directly but the force pushed her behind without an option of proper orientation!

The staircase was behind her, unlike the semi flat land that there used to be in front of the entrance, here she has to face a 20 meter drop! The shot although less impactful compared to several ladies charging it, it still blew her 5 meters behind before she was forced to meet with the rock hard clawed staircase. Because of it, Demon blood isn't the only type spread across them anymore.

Hitting her head on the staircase first and having her head punctured by some sharp rocks spread around the staircase, her knees hit the staircase after and the result was indeed troublesome.

She continued to tumble down, each round contributed to her reaching death closer and closer. If she was on a flat surface she would be able to orientate herself a lot easier but once the first hit took impact, the rest just went downhill.

Eric and Mogranius didn't notice her state, figured that someone as strong as her can't get that hurt! So spotting the blood red Ignite Gem around 7 meters above their head, he shot a 10 foot wide Fireball for once to assure absolute impact and success.

Knowing what will happen after a blink, Eric tried to form a Fire Shield as fast as possible to save himself and Mogranius from the blast. The Shield wasn't even half way from forming, but the Fireball has already hit the super charged gem.

The Shield protected them from having their limbs blown off, but it was shattered in a blink and threw them both against the staircase. However, their fate was a bit lighter. They only faced a couple of bumps and bruises through their tumbling, cuts as well but nothing serious.

Eric arose on his feet and saw the elevated room blocked by rocks completely, a lot of rock and dirt even covered the top portion of the staircase along with anything below it.

"Bittore we did it." Stated Eric as he let out a sigh of relief but got no reply. "Bittore?"
