<h4>Chapter 508 [508] Updraft.</h4>


    ?Following her request to go down, both of them started to descend at a slow pace, Kazikato had his eyes active to detect any unseen dangers and they reached the ground.


    The blue grass was everywhere, and no trees were in sight, however, some parts of the ground seemed as if they had been uprooted. Dirt was everywhere, and some strange pieces of metal.


    Kazikato dropped down first and picked the metal pieces, they were in the form of a needle, which was as thick as a finger and as big as the forearm.


    There were multiple of these needles all around the dirt piles, but that was not the thing that Sabrina wanted them toe down for.


    n reached the ground and let her down, he also looked towards the ''pir of fire'' that was erupting from a crack on the ground. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    To say it was a crack was a bit of an understatement, it looked like the opening to a ravine, only that it was lit by blue fire.


    But the blue fire...was not fire. Because of the altitude they had assumed it was. n asked Kazikato why he didn''t tell them about it, but he said he wasn''t paying attention there


    "Mana."


    Sabrina pointed out, Kazikato and n realized it much sooner, they were simply shocked at it''s strange behavior and the density of it.


    The mana that was released like the breath of a dragon from the earth was incredibly dense, like a wall. Kazikato tried to push his hand through, but was met with great resistance.


    "I can see something down there..."


    However, although one could not pass through it, they could see through it. Sabrina enhanced her vision with her mana but still couldn''t urately see what lied beyond the vast sea of mana.


    "Kazikato?"


    "Whatever it is, it''s glowing."


    Kazikato said, piercing through the sea of mana with his eyes. But his description wasn''t exactly appealing.


    "Are your eyes not showing you their description?"


    n asked him, confused. Dragon eyes should give him aplete description of whatever was down there, even if this sea of mana was obstructing it.


    "I can''t...I don''t know why but I am unable to ess their information."


    ''Sigh...''


    n sighed inwardly, and activated his own eyes after Sabrina looked at him with hopeful eyes, She had already regarded Kazikato as useless. The poor boy was unaware of this and tried his best to peer into the wall.


    "Minerals...most likely."


    nmented, facing the same difficulty as Kazikato, however he could see the surrounding fine and the texture of the glowing objects suggested they were minerals, or ore.


    No matter how hard he tried or how much mana he used, he couldn''t ess their information as well.


    "We travelled quite a bit."


    Whilst the two of them were trying to bypass the surge of mana, Sabrina called Maxwell with the help of an artifact, and informed him of their discovery.


    Maxwell informed them that the location had been marked, and teams would be sent to check on itter with more equipment, but that was something that would happenter. They had travelled hundreds of miles away from the portal. The main base was still being set up, so it would take a lot of time for them to be able to explore here. She ended the call and looked at the two of them, Kazikato was still trying to jump into the mana, whilst n was simply staring at therge mountains.


    ''It''s cold.''


    She said inwardly, almost shivering. The suits they wore underneath their armor provided protection to all temperatures and were suites for extreme changes, but Sabrina felt as if the suit was apparently useless.


    This wasn''t right. They were produced by apany her family owned... Furthermore, she didn''t feel cold but felt cold at the same time. It was quite hard to grasp.


    As if her body was being protected by the suit, but something else wasn''t.


    "Those mountains... "


    She didn''t hear n''s muttering, and began to wonder why they hadn''t encountered any sort of life except for nts.


    Eventually, after failing to find what the glowing objects beneath the manager were, they traveled forward.


    Sabrina wanted to go back, but n was insisting that they go a little bit further. She allowed it, but she wanted go go back before it got too cold.


    Kazikato had an abundance of Mana to protect himself from the cold, whilst n was immune to it due to his affinity.


    She however, wasn''t. She could use her Mana to protect herself or n could conjure a shield around her. But she had a gut feeling that going further would spell disaster.


    She was carried by n once again and they departed, the mountains were farther than they had anticipated, as they got closer and closer, they were getting farther and farther.


    It wasn''t just her that was feeling this, but the rest of the party was as well. n and Kazikato''s senses were constantly being messed with. Ariel had also stopped responding to Kazikato as well.


    She was always free...This led to n thinking the silence of his guardian dragons was rted to this, and not their own personal affairs.


    "Hold on tight."


    n said, and sped up, his mana covered his wings and the bloodline of the phoenix enhanced his speed as well. He blitzed through the illusion cast forth by the mountain range. They had flown for so long but the close mountain range was still the same distance ahead?


    Bullshit.


    n had enough of it and intended to brute force his way through the illusion that was cast, He told everyone to be ready. He had a feeling that they were trapped here, and retreating would be of no use.


    "Hey!"


    Sabrina called out, wanting to tell him to wait but he didn''t listen.


    His speed increased, he cast a shield around himself and her, and with the aid of mana he blitzed forth.


    Kazikato struggled to keep up with n, who had already broken the sound barrier.


    But, he didn''t need too. The illusion that was cast was broken and Kazikato collided with a nket of snow. n''s figure stopped and the force blew out all the snow.


    "Are you crazy?!"


    Sabrina yelled at him, her hair a mess, But n didn''t respond to her. She could see his eyes glowing brightly, blood leaking from them as well. He was looking at something.


    She looked up, and the only thing she could see was a huge mountain. She looked at Kazikato to find his eyes glowing as well.


    She quietened down, and waited for them to answer, realizing that whatever it was that their eyes were showing them, it was serious.
