Raiya sneered at Nemo after his facetious comment.
"Hey, genius. I don't expect you to know much about shinto magic, but that spell wasn't a fire spell. That spell is meant to be able to disintegrate any inorganic object up to fifty feet long and twenty feet thick. And even if this door was thicker than twenty feet, it would still have taken off a full twenty foot layer, and I'd just need to blast it again. It's obviously being negated like Felix said. The only reason it erupted in flames was because of th excess energy being reflected and dispersed." Raiya huffed out a scoff before she took another sip from her flask.

Raiya let out a long exaggerated sigh. She couldn't honestly think of anything worse than having to go to dinners with the guy who basically scammed her into joining her brothers ragtag group of misfits. All she wanted to was to get back to her gang as soon as possible, but at this rate she might have to kill Nemo in an, "accident", to expedite the process.
I do have honor I need to uphold. But how far am I willing to go to uphold it... Maybe I'll get lucky and he'll just die on one of these missions Felix has sent us on
Raiya let out another sigh as they continued to walk, and pulled out her silver pewter flask and drank from it. The burn of the rum which was Bicardi 151. The alcohol being 151 proof, it definitely wasn't for the lightweight drinker.
Being so far into the month, I've been accustomed to this level of drinking. But it's almost that time to renew again... Raiya thought as she took another gulp.
They eventually arrived in the room with the doors.
The room was a large square room, around a hundred yards square. There were still the mana crystal coffins with skeletons lining the walls, reaching all the way to the top of the room which was about fifty feet tall. The doors themselves were a set of double doors nearly as tall as the height of the room at 45 feet tall. The doors were made of solid granite inlaid with blue flakes of mana crystal throughout.
Raiya walked up to it and scratched her head.
"Felix... there aren't any runes on this door.
"It's probably enchanted, then. What does the door look like it's made out of?"
"Well, it's almost solid black stone with little shimmering flakes of mana crystal inlaid throughout it." Raiya replied
"Enchantments tend to lose their infused mana if they aren't contained in an adequate material. Unfortunately for us, mana crystal inlays are some of the best materials for holding enchantments. And without doing tests, there's no way to know what the enchantment does..."
"Well, I figure it's a small chance this door is the same enchantment as that last slab, and even if it is, I could welcome death right about now. So..."
Raiya stepped back from the door twenty feet, and held her hand out in front of her, aimed at the door. She didn't need to say any incantations because she had used this spell often enough that it became a second nature to her. It was her basic Plasma Arc spell.
She focused for a bit, and a magic circle about two feet in circumference appeared in front of her hand, and rotated. Out of the center of the circle a large tendril of electrical plasma burst forth and hit the doors with a large electrical snap.
She continued to pump mana into the spell, but as she was watching, she could tell the door wasn't being affected.
She dropped the spell and walked forward to examine the door. And sure enough, not even a mark was left on the doors.
She stepped back lifted her right and exclaimed "Kore wa hokori ni henkÅ sa remasu! (this will become dust)"
Immediately a red beam left her hand and struck the door, and after a second a large fiery explosion enveloped the door.
After half a minute the fire died down and the door was standing there unscathed.
"Well that answers that." Felix said.
"What does?" Raiya said in an exasperated confused tone.
"Well, it's obvious the spell is a shielding of some sort. It's probably being powered by all of the inlays and a few large mana crystals behind it. Which means, you could be attacking that door for a hundred years before it would fall." Felix explained
Raiya let out a sigh, and sat down on the ground, and opened her flask.
"I guess we wait for the others to catch up and try and come up with some ideas." Raiya said as she sipped on the rum.

"What do you mean?" Raiya asked Nemo skeptically.
"Hold on. About two hundred feet in front of you, you will see a large room with a great sealed door. The door is emanating mana waves, so it is probably enchanted with runes or a some other spell." Felix said
"Great, more runes!" Raiya said sarcastically as she continued walking down the corridor.

"I'm sure there are many items that could be considered useful. I have no qualms with you all taking what you wish, just be wary of the fact that some items there might be cursed." Felix replied
Raiya continued to walk down the corridor leading the way for all the others to follow.
"Yeah, Nemo. Maybe we can find you a sense of propriety while we are down here." Raiya smirked.
A hearty chuckle could be heard on the line.
"Something funny, Felix?" Raiya snapped.
"Oh, no. I was just remembering that one joke about the pot and the kettle. Don't mind me." Felix said in an exasperated tone.
Raiya's smirk turned into an expression of irritation briefly, but she didn't rebut Felix's comment.

Felix tapped his index finger on the side of the book he was reading as he finished up the chapter. Closing the book, he pulled up his manadial.
"I am sure they are at the catacombs by now. Time to give them a call."
He tapped a few buttons on the hologram, sending a call out to every manadial in the party.
"Oh, how cordial." Raiya replied sarcastically to Nemo.
As she was about to step into the opening, the manadial in her pocket started vibrating and glowing. She pulled it out and removed the inlaid manacrystal from the center of the band. She then put the manacrystal up to her ear, and it sunk in a bit, molding to her inner ear, and leaving a hollow hole in the middle of it so she could still hear naturally out of that ear.
"What is it, Felix? I hate using manadial ear pieces, so this better be good." Raiya said in an irritated tone.
"Well, you'll have to get used to it, all of you. I will be talking to you and using manalasis through your dials from now on."
Raiya huffed in annoyance. She had hoped he would have just decided to take a nap after they left and forgotten about the dials he gave them. But it appeared Felix was going to try to be as professional as possible with this ragtag group.
"well, the academia nerds got the entrance open. There was a rune slab that blocked the opening, I'm about to head in now." Raiya explained.
"I'm extending my manalysis radius, and I can see that the opening is simply a long corridor. I can't follow it any further, but I will keep watching as you progress and keep you updated on what's up ahead." Felix said through the manadial earpiece.
"Alright." Raiya said in confirmation, and then began to lead the way down into the catacombs.
The first thing that struck Raiya was that the walls were made of a dark-grey transparent looking stone. But after further examination, she realized it was pure manacrystal. As she continued on down further, she could see blue coffins made out of manacrystal, their transparent quality allowed Raiya to also see the bones they would have otherwise hidden."
"Felix, everything is made out of manacrystal down here." Raiya waited a moment for a response, but when she received none, she said, "Though I suppose this comes of no surprised to you."
"I'll explain later, but no, I expected as such." Felix's voice replied.

"I'll explain later, but no, I expected as such." Felix's voice replied.
A bright light consumed the area for a moment. Raiya had to close her eyes, as the brightness was a tad blinding in contrast to the dark shady canopy of the forest. After the light subsided, the rest of the four in the group stood where the light once exuded.
Raiya raised an eye. So... it seems like Nemo decided to let someone else courier him here. I know that he used a teleportation spell once, but by the mana wave signature, this spell was obviously cast by that girl clad in white. It might be possible that Nemo was trying to save mana for an anticipated encounter. Which also probably means he has come to the same conclusion I have. That Felix didn't tell us everything about these catacombs. And this slab of runic stone here obviously tells a different story. I can't imagine Felix didn't know about this, he has to be testing us.
"Well, now that it seems everyone is here. We have a bit of a roadblock." Raiya pointed at the large rectangular slab of runic stone seeming embedded in the ground.
"From what very little of the runes I can read, it seems like any tampering with this stone or anything within the confines of it will result in the liquefying of the organs of everyone in the immediate vicinity. My forte is blowing shit up and slicing people, I know very little about runes or the act of disarming them." Raiya glanced at the rock, and then at Yuno and Travis. "Perhaps one of the nerds in our group can handle this one?" Raiya smirked.

Ok... @dndragons I guess you're up then
It was more my fault for not being more concise with my wording. Thank you for posting.
