Outside the mine the overseer had a worried look on his face as he watched the entrance... it was already the third day since Loken walked in and was being followed by the Fox and the Mole... the overseer had to inform the Sherrif that Loken's time was over and he did not come out in time. The Sherrif was standing next to the overseer and his face was filled with disdain... as mentioned before the Sherrif was a very impatient person and now a lowly Human dared to break the rules and made him wait there for a whole day. "I will go in now and beat the shit out of that piece of crap." The Sherrif was about to go in as suddenly a herd of miners ran out of the mine their skins red and lightly burned... breathing heavily trying to catch some fresh air. "What is going on here!?" The Sherrif screamed at the miners that left the cave... "ugh...the mine... haha... everything inside the mine began melting it is like... uh... it is like it turned into a volcano" one of the miners answered.
Sherrif Hound coldly snorted and then began to walk into the mine... just a few minutes later he came back out... a part of his fur being charred. "What is going on here... quickly go and inform the Chief that something is happening inside the mine... and get us some Water and Ice Elementalists from the Knightorder here." He told the overseer with a panic-filled face. As suddenly rumbling noises could be heard... the entrance to the mine collapsed... soon after the whole area began rumbling and shaking. Everyone who witnessed it was flabbergasted and speechless.
Inside the mine were the Fox and Mole were tied, nothing but a little lump of burned meat and bones were left... one could only imagine how agonizing their death must have been. In the Center and lowest part of the mine Loken was sitting and watching as the formations he put up collected all the Metal of this mine. He then went into one of the chambers were Blackiron was flowing into. He put out seven more jars and began to infuse Dragon elemental powers into the Blackiron to create Obsidian. To push through with his plan he had to create Obsidian... he had a plan in mind for a powerful weapon. When he finished creating enough Obsidian he walked to the center and saw that all eight champers he dug were filled with Metal to the brim.
In each Chamber he dug in advance... holes were the Metal could flow into were made... hole after a hole was filled... and after cooling down the Metal was ready to be stored. He had four chambers filled with Blackiron two with Adamantite and now two with Obsidian. He was very pleased with his gains. Nearly all the Metal in this mine was flowing down to the center. He then stopped the formations from working... Loken then inspected the roof but nothing but Lava could be seen. The formations he put up in advance were very powerful protection formations left behind by his clan. They were able to hold off the magma and extract the pure Metal from it. He then took out an oven and a blacksmith table to work on the weapon he had in mind. Time passed by and another two days went by. The Lava slowly but surely began to cool down and became hard again... what Loken could not see was that Elementalists of the Knightorder were channeling Water and Ice down the mine and onto the ruins. The ruins that were on top of the mines were nearly destroyed and sunken into the lava. Flying above the whole scene and observing the changes that happened down there was none other then Dreadclaw.
"What is happening down there?? Has someone triggered a hidden formation??" Dreadclaw was wondering what the cause of the enormous change in the mine might be... he was waiting for the ground to cool down a little bit so he could investigate what is going on down there... with his Earth element affinity and his strong and sharp claws he was extremely good at digging and feeling the underground but due to the heat he could do nothing at the moment.
On the sixth day Loken finished his experiments and had a smile on his face he stored everything away and began to prepare another formation he placed a piece of metal the size of a watermelon in the middle of the formation and headed for a path he dug before melting everything in the mine... it was an exit he could use to escape the mine in case of emergency. The formation he left behind had a time delaying effect and would trigger after one hour... it was a ball with two halves one made of Adamantite and the other made of Obsidian... in the middle of the two halves was a core made out of a Fire marble that would release its heat when the formation is triggered after one hour... what Loken was building and experimenting on was how to make a Asurantium bomb. He soon arrived at the end of the tunnel were a small Metal door was covering the exit... no one would be able to tell that there was a door leading down into the mine.
Loken sat down and waited... he knew that he must have created a huge commotion outside and that many powerful Beastman must have gathered maybe even the chief of the town. The formation triggering the bomb began to shine and the Fire marble released its heat. The Obsidian and Adamantite melted together and formed Asurantium...
Outside the mine, the heat subsided and the ground solidified. Dreadclaw descended from the sky and landed on the ground he wanted to know what the cause of the changes could have been. When he landed he unleashed his elemental powers and began to probe and investigate the ground through his Earth affinity. As he was feeling the underground he felt truly frightening energy... that energy was out of control and very berserk. "Everyone get away from here!!!" A powerful shout was heard everywhere. Then suddenly the freshly solidified ground began to crumble and a sinkhole was formed in the center that consumed everything that fell into it. After a short period, it stoped and rumbling noises came out of the hole. Dreadclaw leaped up high into the sky and wanted to get away as far as he could.
