Chapter 234 - The Black Roots

Celia nodded and said to him : "Of course he has one, Arthur's blue flame is different from ordinary fighters' blue chakra flame, I can't wait to see what kind of energy it will be.

But Arthur is still too young, he has to learn to have a better control over his chakra before I can attempt anything."

Flame smiled, it was Arthur himself who had asked him to ask Celia this question.

Arthur wanted to help them too, and he truly hoped to have a special energy like Daniel that could help them during the final battle.

He was going to be thrilled to learn that he just needed to improve his control over his chakra so Celia will be able to find and use his energy.

Celia motioned again with an encouraging look for her brothers to stand up and she opened the two transdimensional portals that would lead them to Inferno.

Once arrived on Inferno Celia did not expect this scenery, the sky was gray and lightning flashed across the clouds, the ground was blood red in color and looked totally barren, there were trees around them but they all seemed dead.

'If Inferno was the same everywhere, how the demons had managed to survive until now,' Celia thought.

And that's when she had a revelation, she had always wondered how it was possible that the demons had managed to find some loopholes through Clara's seals, but in reality it was Clara who had left openings for them, otherwise she knew she was condemning them all.

Jeremy told her then : "Cel, do you feel that ? It's like this world is calling for help."

Celia looked at him puzzled but she has a totally faith in her brothers so she closed her eyes to concentrate better.

And indeed, Celia was starting to understand what her brother wanted to tell her, it was as if this world was dying and crying for help.

Celia opened wide her eyes, and bent down to touch the blood red ground.

Her brothers were looking at her curiously and they saw a silvery glow shining in her eyes, the ground around her started to change and red and orange sprouts were coming out of the ground all around Celia.

Her brothers had no idea how she was doing this, all they knew was that she wasn't using the earth element.

Suddenly, they saw their sister stiffen up, and it was never a good omen when she reacted like that.

When Celia had bent down to touch the ground, she had done it instinctively.

She just wanted to alleviate the suffering within it, and when she felt that it worked, Celia didn't get the time to celebrate it.

Because she just had had one of her visions which allowed her to see the danger few seconds in advance before it happen.

In this vision she saw her brothers being pierced by black roots that sprang from the ground, apparently someone didn't want her to heal the ground.

Celia wasted no time in thinking and used her spiritual energy to send flying four evolved instant teleportation portal spells at her brothers and Flame.

She opened the portals and yelled at them before throwing them inside : "Think of Caleb !"

Her brothers had just enough time to see the black roots coming out from the ground and rushing towards them before they disappeared inside the portals and found themselves in front of Caleb and Daniel.

Flame immediately said to Caleb : "Cel is in danger, we have to go right now."

Caleb looked at Celia's brothers and said to them : "Don't move from here, we'll bring her back."

Caleb, Daniel, Flame and three of Caleb's men instantly vanished using the instant teleportation portal spells Celia had left for them.

When Caleb got near Celia he saw her struggling against black roots that kept coming out from the ground.

He saw that these black roots were imbued with darkness energy, 'could it be the demon god attacking her straight through the ground ?'

Celia felt that Caleb and the others had arrived, she had no time to waste to play with these roots imbued of darkness energy, she had more important things to do.

She gave a signal to Caleb to make him understand not to intervene, she was going to deal personally with this attack which could have cost the life of her brothers.

She used her green papers filled with universe energy to immobilize these roots and then she used the earth element to find the source of this attack.

As she had guessed it properly, this attack was too weak to come from the demon god herself, it had to be one of her minions.

Once she found the source, she sent a massive attack of universe energy through the roots and wiped out whoever launched that attack against them.

The black roots immediately disappeared and Celia said to Caleb : "I was hoping for a better welcome, brother."

Caleb walked over to her and after making sure she wasn't hurt, he hugged her and said to her teasingly : "Come one, I don't want you to feel bored."

He pulled away and asked her seriously : "how are you ?"

Celia replied with a smile : "I'm fine don't worry."

Daniel then asked her curiously : "Cel, was it you who did this ?"

Celia looked in the direction that Daniel was pointing at and that was where the red and orange stalks had sprouted from the ground.

She said to him : "Yes, it's me ! And that's why we were attacked.

I'm sorry I didn't think too much about it when I did it, but the dimension that holds prisoner this demon god is on Inferno, so she must still have a lot of minions working for her here."

Caleb nodded and said to her : "Congratulations, you're barely arrived and you have already been spotted, apparently my brother to repeatedly telling you over and over not to provoke your enemies doesn't work at all, looks like you can't really help it."

Celia chuckled and said to him : "It's true, but this time I promise, I really didn't do it on purpose."

Caleb nodded and said to her changing the topic : "The lands of Inferno are mostly barren, there is very little place where we can cultivate.

Water is also a problem for us, maybe when the war will be over you will be able to help us with that too."

Celia replied with a smile : "Of course I will, no worries."

But right now was not the time to talk about it, she added quickly : "Let's go now, my brothers must be worried."
