Chapter 455: Mining
After they finished marvelling over the sight in front of them, Nova finally slapped Cloud on the back, Enough fooling around. The Divine Egg is out of our league. Start setting up the gear.
Cloud had an aggravated look on his face, one which he didnt dare to keep when he turned around. Instead he took off his shell and started opening the top plate to pull out some complicated looking gadgets. He looked around and then remembered Spark wasnt with them. Then he turned his pleading look to Aurora. She rolled her eyes and then cleared her voice, Once weve set up the gear, we can try for a few of the Divine Amethyst before we leave.The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
Nova chuckled and didnt object. The group didnt have any official leader, but they did have a sort of chain of command, mainly based on who was the best at bullying the others. Or at least thats how Cloud felt, since Nova was always bullying him. She was also friends with Aurora and Spring did anything that Aurora said. Not that he blamed her, Cloud turned his eyes wistfully over to the fair Aurora and tried not to sigh too loudly.
Like she could tell exactly what he was thinking, Nova threw a stone that hit the back of Clouds knee as he was walking and made him stumble onto the ground. He cursed, but didnt say anything. Grumbling to himself as he pulled out the gear. The device looked like an overly busy tripod, and he handed two of them to each member of the group. Then they spread out around the room, hugging the walls. Even so, they were assaulted by varying waves of dizziness and vertigo. They heard phantom voices and saw vibrant illusory waves of color floating towards them.
With their hand on the wall, they had a guide and ignored the strangeness coming from their eyes and ears. At a certain point, the device in their other hand started to vibrate and they stopped their trek. Led by the vibration, they placed the device without needing to know where they were. Then they unfolded the tripod-like device into something more like the tines of an umbrella. At the base, instead of a handle, there was a spike. They placed the spike down against the ground, holding the device tightly while pressing a button. There was a loud hiss of air and the spike on the bottom drove itself into the stone floor. Once the device was placed, they pulled out the second one they were given and started moving again. They were guided to another position and repeated the process.
Aurora, Spring, and Nova placed two devices each, while Cloud put down three. When all nine of them were placed, the strange visions and hallucinations they were seeing disappeared. They could still hear some faint sounds, but their vision cleared up just like when theyd been standing outside of the room.
Okay, all the Pylons are down. Now lets hurry up with the defenses. We cant stay down here forever.
Cloud didnt realize he spoke so loud and quickly ran into the mental attack area rather than face the three of them who somehow spoke in unison. He felt like he was being stabbed in the chest by a ghost holding a knife, while walking across a field of hot coals that had already destroyed his shoes and started burning his skin, but he felt it was a relief at the moment. Then he saw a viper made out of stone with burning magma dripping from its fangs. He reached down and plunged his hand into its mouth. He felt like his arm was being completely melted off, but then a moment later he pulled his hand out and felt the Divine Amethyst in his palm.
After teasing Cloud, the three women went around the room collecting a few of the Divine Amethyst that were on the wall, but still had some power in them. Then, they adjusted their mental states with careful breathing and a round of meditation. Then they did the same as Cloud, braving the terrible hallucinations, and simulated pain and torture to try and retrieve the Divine Amethyst. They had all been trained in the process and knew that wherever they saw and felt the most terrible and painful things, it would likely be where the Divine Amethysts actually were.
The Pylons that they placed earlier could restrict the area of influence, but they had a limit. They would only operate once they were a certain distance away from the center of the powerful field of energy. Only near the edges of the room was the energy weak enough to be neutralized. Unfortunately, that energy was what nourished the crystals into being Divine Amethysts. The crystals that were scattered against the walls were quite far away and only a few of them retained enough power to still be considered as Divine Amethyst.
A couple hours later, the group could only collect a few crystals each before they were starting to get fatigued and had to leave. They made it to the surface and rejoined Sage and Spark. Of course, Sage had been watching everything that had been going on with the Twin Soul, so he already knew how things had gone for them. Thankfully, they hadnt spotted anyone else during this time.
Sage looked at the four who returned, Were you successful?
They nodded and he smiled, Wonderful! Okay, so on our way out; should we kill a bunch of their guards and then escape after being discovered? If only this one squad goes missing, theyll be suspicious and search this area, right?
Cloud finally perked up, Dont worry, weve already got it all planned out!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
