Chapter 246 - Sentiment

"So these are the three ways you've mentioned earlier?" Asked Bittore once a portion of her team flew up the entering, this isn't at all what the entire team expected to find behind that natural wall but their morale still remains in tact. "We shall not give up, I am certain that the hidden Snow Ignite Kingdom is deep inside."

The rest just agreed, here dungeons aren't so common. It is the same concept at Meridionali Ignis, so they aren't exactly used to such infrastructure. "The Snow Ignites surely made it a bit difficult to reach just in case of intruders, so their people wouldn't be easily attacked." Complimented Mollara her theory as she patted Osira's shoulder to help her feel better. "All our work can't be for nothing, we all contributed to this freedom."

"Mollara is more than right, but first we need to find where these Demons came from!" Bittore stated, but her wordplay indeed captured some attention. Every girl here is more paranoid than the other due to the fact of facing so many of these Creatures earlier and that they are naturally smart.

"Demons? What do you mean Demons?" One asked in paranoia, awaiting further explanation only to hear another follow.

"The Snow Ignites are corrupted with l.u.s.t but I doubt that they have association with Demons." That of course is where this topic led, all their lives they have heard the sentence of Demons being associated with Ignites, women targeted primarily but a lot of men were slaughtered too. It isn't a surprise to see the word reach here!

Yet another lady of the team dared to point out. "I think that this is a coincidence, think about it. If Snow Ignites wanted to cooperate with Demons, why would they seal this place?" A firm point indeed, but another lady created another set of confusion.

"Ladies, does this look like an Ignite domain? It looks like it was burned with Fire and afterwards carefully painted with blood, I doubt Snow Ignites can be that psychotic."

"It can't be a coincidence that Maleemia was built a bit below, there has to be some connection!" A lot of theories indeed and without proper proof they can never figure this out, especially with rumours.

"Quiet quiet quiet!" Bittore started the demand with a low whispering tone and ended it with a shout, thankfully they all listened to her command and cut their theories short. "Just trust me, I have it all under control. I'll get rid of the Demons too!"

Seeing that the ladies have calmed down and are furthermore awaiting for her Command, she gave security another thought and afterwards ordered. "I don't think we need to go all down there, we have 8 people here already." Looking at the 8 ladies in front of her, she chose a couple of them skilled in defense and ordered. "Karlie and Hade, go Guard the rest of our people and await for our Command."

"Yes Grand Leader!" The ladies agreed right away of course, no one would want to go down there and face more of these "Demons". It is interesting how Bittore describes them like that, her reactions almost made it sound like this isn't the first time she dealt with them.

But as the two ladies walked their way out, they saw Eric and Mogranius fly in the Cave. A.k.a their enemies! With tension rising high now, the two ladies immediately went into a battle form and were ready to shoot the enemies down. The only thing holding them back is the fact that these two are Ignites, sentiment can indeed be troublesome.

"What have you all done!?" Shouted Mogranius as his feet met the ground with a bang! Fire blasted horizontally through his feet, the interesting part is that it expanded over 5 meters but had no chance of burning flesh or slicing for that matter.

The foot tall Fire hit through the two lady's feet like a wild boar and it sent them face first to the rock flooring, thankfully no bones were broken. "All those people died because of your l.u.s.t for power!" He shouted as he shot a blank Fireball towards the bundle of ladies behind the two he just knocked down.

What is a blank Fire ball you might ask? They are like the ones he used to knock the two down, no burning effect. But this time he shot a 3 foot wide Fireball, it looks lethal indeed. And furthermore no one knows that it is a blank Fireball, so two of the Ladies cracked a Fire shield open as much as they could under short notice.

But it wasn't enough, the shield was busted open and the two ladies were tossed against the crowd behind them. Luckily some were passionate enough to catch them from hitting the ground head first.

"Double shield!" Bittore shouted as she herself bent down to a sumo squat, clapping her hands and afterwards spreading her arms far from each other. Seeing that her shield has spread enough to cover all the ladies, she tightened her fists which of course completes the Fire Shield, gives it its firm reliable protection.

Two other ladies started off a Fire Shield around 6 feet away from Bittore and connected them by clapping each other's hands, the Shield surrounded the rest of the ladies and there for provided the second Fire Shield. It became a bit tight in there, but it is worth it.

Mogranius continued to blast Fire balls against them, but this time they aren't blank. He wants to show these double crossers what a 59 year old Fire Controller is capable off, quite frankly he is sick of their bullshit too!

He blasted a 4 foot wide Fireball, it is his preferred size often. It is effective and doesn't drain too much stamina. Afterwards he blasted the second one spanning 3 feet wide, which finally gave the wide shield provided by Bittore a little crack.

The third he blasted became 4 feet wide and the fourth was the biggest one yet, ranging 6 feet wide! This one tipped the bucket, it cracked the shield and a portion of Fire breached it and reached the second shield.

Thankfully no lady was injured, but it just proved how many shots these couple of shields can withstand before they break and expose the ladies into danger. It is worth pointing out that Eric didn't even shoot yet!

"I think I know how to break this shield!" Eric thought as he remembered a move Mogranius once pulled in training! He tapped Mogranius on the shoulder and stated. "Leave this to me!"

Mogranius didn't yet calm down, it was clear to see it when Eric gave a glance at his ears now letting out smoke due to the rage he is experiencing. But he did see cooperation with Eric, he is an Electus after all. He overpowered lava, how hard can a Fire Shield be?

Putting his right foot over the left, avoiding to do a sumo squat. He placed his right hand half a foot above his right and tried to gain concentration, trying to focus his aim primarily. He doesn't want to hit anyone, he just wants to break the shield. The two ladies he first knocked out would have done something to stop them, but as mentioned they are knocked out!

A small orb stretched from the middle of his palms and ended up reaching the fingers, that is the sign of the power move being ready to use, ready to shoot. Moving his right hand and placing it behind the palm of his left as he raised them vertically with the orb following along.

Tapping his left foot against the ground, the concentrated blast crashed through the air. This shot is a lot like a straight pole, a few inches thin and around 6 feet long. Its primary goal is to penetrate, not to burn!

The shot travelled faster than the eye can blink, before they knew it both of the shields were penetrated. As Bittore felt the shot fly over her shoulder, almost hitting her. She saw both of the shield shatter like glass and fall beneath their feet.

Without having the time to think, they saw a 8 foot wide Fireball reaching to deal the finishing blow! They thought that this is it, they thought that they will meet an end after reaching so far. Little did they know, it was just another blank shot! Mogranius is steaming mad but he wouldn't shoot these completely rare Fire Controllers, again sentiment begs to differ at such a case.

The radius reached all 6 of them, and it felt like someone tossed a wall against them. It didn't feel nice at all, but thankfully it isn't bone breaking. The ladies were knocked to the ground, walking towards them while keeping a portion of Fire bursting on his left hand.

"Are you ready to really tell me what's going on now?" He threatened Bittore, seeing her having it hard to stand up.
