Chapter 91 Invincible.
Chapter 91 Invincible.
Elena looked at Manna standing on top of a giant salamander that she had just cut in half in a single cut. The flames on the salamander's legs and tail couldn't be extinguished, in fact, they were still burning even though Shelly had frozen them. They were mesmerized by it since they had never seen a frozen flame before, and it made Shelly interested in it and took it to research it later.
"What are we doing to do now, Elena? We have killed the threat, but it seems that there will be more of them coming," Jeanne asked as she walked toward Elena.
"Since we have been neglecting on clearing the portal, I think it's time for us to enter the portal and check the second floor," Elena answered as she looked at the portal in the distance.
"We need to ask Mykel's permission first if we want to go check the second floor," Nagy said with worried expression because she knew that Elena would go in without Mykel's permission.
Elena hummed and spoke with Mykel telepathically to ask permission to get into the portal. She got Mykel's permission, and Mykel wanted Amaryllis to find a clue about the worlds that existed inside the portal. He believed that the Demon Princesses were being held in one of those worlds inside the portal.
"You heard her, let's get inside," Aurea said as she held the handle of her katana. She was so eager to kill demons with it since she hadn't had the chance to use it against them.
"Let's remember each portal has a unique trait, and this one has something to do with fire and heat. We should be prepared to hunt demons like in Gehenna," Jeanne said as she looked at them. "I think the breakout will stop once we clear the second floor," Jeanne pointed out.
They all nodded and went into the portal after Shelly and Nagy had done their inspection of the corpse.
They were welcomed by Sandowms, and this time the Sandowms were trying to get out of the portal. Jeanne and the others saw the portal to the second floor and realized there were so many salamanders that came out of it.
They swoop cleaned the whole desert and massacred both the Sandworms and the Salamanders. It only took them less than an hour until they annihilated the Sandworms that tried to attack them. Elena then told them to not waste their time there and go straight to the second portal.
They entered the second portal, and the heat was far worse than in the desert. The world was completely sealed by a ceiling with dripping lava coming out from the cracks. The floor was a cooled-down lava, but they could feel the warmth even though they all had [Godly Resistance] skill. A normal human or Awakener would melt if they didn't have high fire and heat resistance.
"Are we going to fight another giant salamander here? Or it will be different this time?" Elena asked Amaryllis who was scanning and registering the area.
"So far, there are only salamanders in this place, and I can feel a strong presence far ahead over there," Amaryllis answered as she pointed to the north. "Also, there's a cave, and there's something interesting inside it," Amaryllis pointed to the west.
"You're talking about making backups like how servers do?" Nagy asked since she knew what Amaryllis was talking about.
"Yes. I'm currently multiplying myself infinitely somewhere in the world that Mykel created where nobody could stop me. If my current self is being corrupted and has zero chance of surviving, I can destroy myself and move to one of my copies," Amaryllis answered as she nodded her head. "Just like Beldathiel. It's basically the same as when she gambled and lost her life, she still had copies of herself inside her castle that will die for her. That makes the possibility of both Mykel and my existences to disappear less than one percent," Amaryllis explained.
Everyone started to understand what Amaryllis meant because they all knew about Beldathiel's power.
"Wait, doesn't that mean it's close to impossible to exterminate you?" Nagy asked with a bit of a terrified look on her face.
"Yes, but a single word from Mykel is enough to shut me down and make my existence disappear. I could never go against Mykel, and my existence is still in Mykel's hands. Right now, he's only giving me a lot more freedom," Amaryllis answered. "With that being said, as long as I exist, all of you are invincible in terms of existence," Amaryllis pointed out.
"That's a long explanation, but I guess we got our answer now. We don't have to worry about you here with us since you can protect yourself," Elena said as she looked at Amaryllis. "Let's head inside, let's go," Elena walked into the cave.
Everyone entered the cave, and somehow the atmosphere changed drastically, and the inside wasn't even hot. They could feel something was off about the whole cave, and when they reached the deepest part of the cave, they saw a lake with black water inside.
"Isn't this interesting..." Amaryllis said as she went down to her knees to look at the water from up close.
"What is it?" Elena asked.
"I can't detect anything underneath the lake. It's a portal, but at the same time, Aurea has killed the boss and it's creating a different portal than this," Amaryllis answered. "We could go inside, but I'm not confident there will be a way back out," Amaryllis pointed out.
"You can bring all of us back to Mykel's said, right?" Elena asked.
"Yes, a hundred percent," Amaryllis nodded her head.
"Then let's head once Aurea came back," Elena said.
