As he went deeper within the mine, Azai wasn't feeling the cold anymore, but instead it was heat. When the miners reached this point they stopped going further with their mining, and put a warning sign that said [I]" Danger! Too much heat after this point"[/I] Azai looked around and found more fur leading deeper. He knew that this heat was too much for simple miners, but he didn't take any chance, he raised up his dark aura, summoning his armor. This was the armor given to him wen he reached the royal knight rank in the Felmare army, it the only thing that they couldn't take away from since he bound it to his aura. Azai upgraded the armor when he started researching smithing from all cultures, it didn't slow him down anymore, and it was sturdier. The armor had pitch black color and shining red from underneath every chest piece, Azai called this armor [B]" The Ergo"[/B]. After summoning The Ergo Azai continued his way... After a few minutes of walking, he heard running footsteps towards him, it appeared to be an injured elite guardian, he was barely breathing, after he cought his breath he told Azai what happened [I]" Sir we were fooled, she is a young necromancer, with he personal undead guardian. She turned every miner to one of her undead, yet they were weak but they were large in number. The good thing is that we a had protection spell before we entered, it will not turn us to her slaves after we die. We will need a larger force to force her into retreat. What do we do now sir?"[/I] Azai was a bit impressed with the her, she could take down elite guards with her powers, it didn't matter to him the undead miners, since he could take them down easily, but the necromancer and her gaurdian would make a problem for him. Azai thought of plan incase he is defeated, all of this heat must be coming from an active volcano nearby, but since the heat didn't reach the rest of the mine, then there must be huge opening, he thought of the nearest mountain that had a volcano must be where they are. He told the guard of the route he mentioned to the guards before him to go through, and ready a larger force to be waiting for his signal at the top of the mountain. The guard noded his head and ran directly towards the tunnel. After the guard left a howling could be heard from a near distance, Azai ran quickly towards it, he didn't want to deal with both the necromancer and the wolf at the same time. The wolf was waiting inside, it appeared that he was still going through the mutation, the wolf was in a crazed situation that causes it kill all those miners, and why it was in the mine. Azai walked towards it with caution. Because of this state that it was in, he could know to whom the demon energy belonged to, it felt oddly familiar but stronger, and like it was done deliberately, then when he got closer he was shocked, it belonged to his brother, so many questions went through his mind, but the first was why did he leave it run along like that, since he obviously wanted it for himself. He raised his hand and started to realse his energy to finalize the possession and make it his own, since it was his brother. He preferred that he would make it his own, but he was gonna kill it if it showed no signs of response...
