When the luminous portal appeared above the altar, Austin immediately noticed that it was actually locked by something very powerful.
Layers of grey energy surrounded the portal and sealed it tight.
"Austin, you can start now!"
Priest Callum shouted.
Austin stretched out his hand and furrowed his eyebrows in concentration. Soon, a red flame grew brightly between his palms.
As he activated the power of the Scorching Evil Fire, the flames transformed into fierce beasts and charged out from Austin's palms. The beasts pounced ferociously on the portal to break it open.
He was unleashing the Unearthly Fire attack he had mastered lately.
In that moment, the blazing flames turned the sky a frighteningly bright red. The flames wrapped the portal and burnt it with increasing might.
The grey energy that sealed the portal flowed violently. It struggled against the extreme heat generated by the Unearthly Fire attack.
From the way the grey energy flowed, Austin could tell that it was some sort of dark and evil power.
Unearthly Fire was an effective attack against the grey energy because they belonged to opposing powers that could neutralize each other.
"Let's pray! "
Priest Callum hollered at the members of the evil shadow race as Austin unleashed the Unearthly Fire.
Upon hearing him, they all knelt down in a circle facing the altar. They began to chant prayers in a foreign tongue and the weird sounds of their prayer filled the valley.
The humdrum of prayers produced a mighty evil energy that kept flowing into the staff held by Priest Callum.
From the grey statue at the top of his wand, a giant shadow of the God of Evil flowed out and strode to the portal in a swift movement. It roared and attacked the grey sealing energy.
It punched and struck the grey energy over and over again, causing the whole space to vibrate violently.
With a wild cry, the queen also released a long and mighty river of evil energy. It travelled up to the altar and hit the grey energy with might.
The rampage against the grey energy continued fiercely for two hours.
At the end of the second hour, the efforts of the group finally paid off. The layers of grey energy began to dissipate slowly and grew weaker every moment.
Without doubt, it was Austin's Scorching Evil Fire that made the biggest contribution to the success of breaking the seal.
Unearthly Fire had the potential to generate great Scorching Power. But Austin, with his present strength, was unable to activate the full power of Scorching Evil Fire. Legend had it that its full power could burn down the sky and the earth.
However, even though he had activated only a part of the strength of the Scorching Evil Fire, the power it exuded was extraordinary.
"The seal is about to break!"
Priest Callum was overjoyed.
All the people in the valley were also inspired by the success.
It meant they could get out of the small alternate dimension soon.
The most excited were the members of the evil shadow race, as they had been stranded in the small alternate dimension for thousands of years. Now, they had finally gotten the chance to see the outside world.
Their excitement was out of bounds.
Many of them couldn't stop the tears from welling up in their eyes.
They had dreamt of breaking the seal and getting out of the small alternate dimension for many millenniums. Now their dream was about to become their reality.
Another hour passed.
The grey sealing energy which wrapped the portal had been broken completely.
"God of Evil bless us all. We have broken the seal!"
At that moment, Priest Callum was overcome by a flood of tears. The members of the evil shadow race were also celebrating. The entire valley was reverberating with their shouts of joy.
