Underneath the Earth

The chamber seemed like nothing more than an ordinary structure: a rectangular box made of stone. It looked like it had been white at one time, but was stained brown through contact with the earth. Nothing else about it stood out, at least in terms of appearance. The only thing that was unusual was where they had found it.

“At the very least, we can say this must have something to do with the demons, right?” said Allen.

“Huh? What are you basing that on?” said Akira. “We hardly know anything yet.”

“We’re a hundred meters down,” said Anriette. “It should be warmer, but it feels exactly the same in here as up there.”

“So this is part of the lair too?” said Mylène.

“Seems likely,” Allen answered.

“Whoa,” said Chloe. “Is that right? In that case, they must’ve built it for a reason.”

The group circled the room as they talked but found nothing resembling an entrance. They tapped on the walls, but the only response was the sound of cold stone.

“Maybe they blasted their way in?” Akira offered.

“Wouldn’t they be crushed by the stone, though?” said Mylène.

“Only if it’s normal stone,” Chloe explained.

“Seems like it is to me,” Allen noted.

“Agreed,” said Anriette. “The only thing that’s special is its location.”

Allen looked around, but nothing struck him as significant. All he could see were the pit walls and the faraway ceiling of the room they’d been standing in before. He’d been sure to confirm there was no risk of the walls caving in before he’d jumped down. If they did collapse, he’d be buried. But the earth was tightly packed and wouldn’t crumble unless deliberately destroyed.

If it came to it, he could always teleport out anyway. How else were they going to get out of a hundred-meter hole? They hadn’t brought any tools for that job with them. Allen’s and Akira’s hands had been full carrying Anriette and Mylène, who couldn’t withstand a hundred-meter drop. Fortunately, Allen’s abilities meant that even if this turned out to be some kind of trap, they should be able to make it out before they were buried alive.

“Hmm, yeah, there’s no doubt this isn’t a normal place,” said Chloe, “but what are we gonna do about it?”

“Same as before,” said Allen. “We find out what’s unusual about it.”

“You mean I can blast a hole in it?” said Akira, excitedly drawing her sword with a smile. Allen realized she’d probably been watching enviously as Chloe dug. There was no reason to stop her.

“Just make sure not to overdo it,” he said. “We only need to get inside.”

“She’s gonna blow the whole thing to smithereens,” Mylène remarked.

“Ha, come on!” Akira laughed. “I’ll leave it in one piece.”

“She’s one of those people who always takes things too far, huh?” said Chloe.

Akira’s sword began to pulse with azure lightning. She clearly didn’t intend to hold back; she must have determined that a full-force attack was required. Despite her coarse manner of speaking, she was thoughtful and had good intuition. Preparing herself for
