ELECTUS

"What"s the point of reclaiming the Kingdom? Sooner or Later that man beast i faced in Crutal Kingdom will find out and come burn everything to the ground. I can"t face against him and win. Why he spared me back at Crutal Kingdom is still a complete mystery to me."

As soon as Eric finished his sentence, Commander Alia was about to reply. But she was struck speechless as a explosion was to be heard coming from the main entrance.

The second they heard the explosion, everyone rushed out of the mine entrance and towards the main entrance.

As they reached the entrance, it seemed that someone was courageous enough to make their way through the ten foot hole that Eric caused and shoot down a Calidum Lutum guard.

As the Guard was gasping for breath and raised his hand towards Commander Alia to ask for help, he was yet again struck.

Struck by another explosion.

The explosion, tipped Stefan over and he almost fell down the Volcano, but Mogranius grabbed his arm, slightly yelled

"Got ya."

and pulled him to safety.

Commander Alia shouted in despair

"NOOO!!"

And although that one Guard is already dead, she rushed to push the other one guarding the main entrance, to safety.

Although a heroic, courageous and selfless act, it was also extreme.

The chances of being shot down to death were too large.

But this time everyone could sense where the explosions were coming from now. Whoever is shooting, is hiding in the shades of the tunnel(the main entrance).

Commander Alia pushed the remaining guard to safety, but leaving herself exposed to life threatening danger.

Obviously whoever struck twice already, had no one stopping them from striking again.

Understanding this situation, Mogranius acted quickly. He was only a few meters away from Commander Alia.

In a quick act, he reached her and was able to tackle her away from danger.

He could feel whatever is causing the explosion, fly over his back as he tackled down Commander Alia.

He saved her. And knowing his mysterious unexplainable yet useful reflexes, he stands on his feet again faster than the eye can blink and creates a s.h.i.+eld.

Creating a fire s.h.i.+eld of which formed half a sphere like fire barrier, he provides absolute safety against whatever is threatening them.

Commander Alia is safe, but that leads the rest of the Gang exposed. More precisely, Eric and Stefan.

Not knowing how to yet do the Fire s.h.i.+eld, Eric blasts out a blazing bear claw, Grabs Stefan(who always seems to be the victim of his bear claws) and throws him all the way behind the s.h.i.+eld that Mogranius formed.

He didn"t land on his feet and he certainly isn"t surrounded by the Fire s.h.i.+eld, but it leaves him immune to the explosions.

Seeing Eric as the only remaining target, the attacker shoots again. Eric reacts quick and blasts fire out of his legs, lifting him a meter above the air. The explosion struck the ground and damaged Eric"s feet enough to make him lose control over his flying.

Although his feet now covered with a pitch dark colour mixed with his own blood, his feet were indeed damaged but he didn"t lose his toes or a foot as well.

But his feet bleeding didn"t seem to be his greatest concern right now.

While Eric lost control of the fire he blasted out of his feet, it resulted to him uncontrollably being blasted towards the Volcano and was now falling all the way down the molten lava that the bottom of the Volcano has to offer.

Eric was quite Certain that this was his end.

His life flashed before his eyes.

He only sees small moments with his father, what he could imagine of his mother and the very first moment he discovered his powers.

The short flash reached an end as he noticed that he wasn"t dying. He was all the way down in lava. Head to toe. But he wasn"t burning.

Infact, he didn"t even feel heat.

Even his clothes weren"t burning.

In his head he thought

"Have i died and gone to h.e.l.l already."

But he realized he was well alive once he tried to blast fire out of his feet again.

He had absolutely no idea how the lava didn"t burn him into ashes, but he used it to his advantage.

His feet were b.l.o.o.d.y, damaged, burned. But he could still blow fire out of them.

A second after, he was flying away from the lava and as he made his way up a half mile in just a few seconds, he reached the edge of the Volcano to see stefan surrounded by the s.h.i.+eld as well as the remaining guard.

But what he also saw was about thirty ill.u.s.tratios who have surrounded the fire s.h.i.+eld.

Armed with bows and preventing Mogranius from doing anything.

Leaving him no option to attack.

Apart from seeing those thirty ill.u.s.tratios, he also saw Guard Commander Chan a few feet away from the group, pus.h.i.+ng a knife down the dead Calidum Lutum Guard"s chest.

Near Chan appeared to be a crossbow.

Eric thought

"Could it be possible that the explosions came from that CrossBow?"

It didn"t take long for Guard Commander Chan to rip out the dead Guard"s heart out.

And like a coward he ran out with ten of his archers escorting him towards safety.

But his carelessness made him forget his crossbow behind.

Eric did not hesitate to blast Fireb.a.l.l.s as Stefan was running out.

But he had to watch out how much fire he blasts. This situation can get worse lf he causes a collapse.

But like the coward Chan is, he hid behind the archers, using them as s.h.i.+elds to further his miserable life.

Six of the Archers escorting Guard Commander Chan were burned to death.

Since Eric unleashed less fire, the Archers weren"t burned in to nothingness, but instead just being burned alive with pain so unbearable that they met almost an instant death.

But of course that let a rather disgusting scene to see after the fire burning on those dead archers, met an end.

Guard Commander Chan got away and the twenty remaining archers who were surrounding the Fire s.h.i.+eld, suddenly all turned towards Eric. Making him his main target.
