[ Violence ] & [ Death ]
....
”We're taking his family back...by force.” Ivery cracked her knuckles
Ivery smashed her fist into the floor.
*BOOM*
The building shook and a cloud of debris and dust covered the whole area, making them unable to see the damage.
As the cloud cleared up, they all saw a giant hole was opened in the floor, and from there they could see inside of the hideout. It really was underneath the building....
”Ready?” Ivery smirked
”Of course.” Luther nodded
”I guess...” Danya sighed
”They'll all pay for this...” Yannel angrily looked down into their hideout
....
”That definitely alerted them...so...let's not just stand around and wait around for them to come up here.” Ivery unhesitantly jumped down into the hole
Eness hopped down after Ivery.
”Right.” Yannel nodded and jumped down
”Wait! We're really doing this!?” Danya also saw Luther jump into the hole
Danya didn't have the will to jump down from such a high place...she stepped back and decided to let them handle the rest, she was just a healer after all...she couldn't contribute to battles..
Suddenly a thin golden chain shot out from the hole and wrapped around Danya's waist.
”What...?” Danya was confused
”!!!” Danya was instantly pulled down by the chain and she fell into the hole and screamed
...
Danya opened her eyes and realized she was being held by Ivery..
”Why didn't you jump down?” Ivery put Danya down
”I...didn't have the courage to do it...” Danya looked down at the ground, feeling ashamed
”Are you afraid of the danger you'll face?” Ivery asked
”I...don't know..” Danya said
”Or are you afraid because you think you're not strong enough...” Ivery asked
”....I'm not strong enough..” Danya looked up at Ivery
”Then become strong enough..” Ivery said
”H..How?” Danya felt like it was easier said than done
”You can't have experience without practice...” Ivery smirked once she heard numerous footsteps coming their way
...
Seven tall buff men dressed in thin black robes came around the corner, they carried long swords and ran towards them.
”sǝɯɐlℲ” Yannel cast a spell and pointed his staff at the running men
Three of the men were suddenly engulfed in flames, the fire spread to every inch of their bodies and they ran around frantically trying to put it out, but to no avail, the flames continued to burn through their skin.
They soon collapsed on the floor, dead. The fire continued to burn their corpses to ash.
”You can do it....” Ivery told Danya with a comforting smile
Danya took a deep sigh and lifted her hands.
Her hands glowed with a yellow light and a giant ball of bright light flew towards the charging men. Once the light made contact with the men, they were immediately blinded.
They held their aching eyes in pain, tears came running down from their eyes as the constant stinging pain wouldn't cease.
”I'll handle the rest.” Luther grinned
A black mist gathered in his palms and shot forward towards the blinded men.
The black mist harshly swirled around their bodies and just as the mist scattered. All was left behind were skeletons. The bones that belonged to the men dropped on the floor.
Danya's complexion turned a ghostly pale once she saw what Lutris was capable of...
”You did pretty well...” Ivery smiled at Danya
”T-Thank you..” Danya smiled back
”This way!” Eness started to fly away, the relative magic scents she smelled were getting stronger
Yannel ran after Eness.
Ivery, Luther, and Danya followed right behind.
..
As they walked through the halls of the hideout, they all stopped in front of a big door
”Here.” Eness looked at the door
”....” Ivery reached her hand out to open the door
The door opened and they all stepped through the doorway.
”W..What is this...?” Danya looked around
”It's an underground plantation...” Luther said as he looked at the tired and dirtied people tending to a row of crops
”M-My family is here...!?” Yannel looked around, his eyes anxiously searching for his family
”They're close by..” Eness flew towards the scent
