Chapter 212 - The Successful Escape (1/2)

”As much as I'd love to stay and fight, I have to go.” Muttered John as he entered into the ice sphere he had formed.

Seeing this, those who hid in the shadow, quickly rushed out in an attempt to stop him. But before they could reach him. A bright light shone above the Ice sphere and clouded the entire room.

This got rid of all the darkness and shadow causing all who were hiding to be explosed.

Surprised, they tried to head back into the nearest shadow, but before they could.

The sound of a clock was heard and an explosion followed after

*BOOOOM!*

An immense amount of wind pressure mixed with flames was sent throughout the entire storage room, burning many of the boxes and severely injuring many of those who weren't able to make it to the shadow in time.

The explosion was so loud it resounded throughout the entire storage room, and other areas in the city, alarming all who were nearby.

Before the explosion could even calm down, many left the shadows and rushed towards the Ice sphere. They knew they wouldn't have much time now as it was the 2nd explosion. The knight squads would have arrived in any minute.

As they reached the ice sphere, around 5 of them, cast a 'dark spike' spell and once the spikes were formed, they quickly pierced through the ice sphere before even more spikes extended from them in an attempt to stab and pierce every single area on the inside of the ice sphere.

After that, one of them, cut off the top of the ice sphere with a swing of a dark sword, expecting to find their target in a near-death state, however, contrary to their expectations, they found nothing.

It was empty, completely empty.

One of the cloaked men turned back and faced a teenager who slowly walked out of the shadow.

Seeing this, the man bowed and all the others followed after. The girl looked no older than 18, yet she was the one in control.

With each step, the smile on her face grew dimmer, as she asked

”Where are they?”

To this question, the man who had originally cut off the top of the ice sphere answered

”M-My lady, They disappeared...”

Hearing this, the smile on the girl's face had completely disappeared. She then asked

”What?”

Pitch-black long hair tied up in twin tails. A nice, well balanced frame with quite the glare. If there was one thing any of them would hate about her, it would be her attitude, which terrified them.

”I-I said, t-they dissa-”

Before the man could finish, he was suddenly pierced by a dark spike which came out of his shadow.

Confused, he tried to say something, but before he could. More spikes came out of the area where the spike had pierced him, piercing his whole body in the process.

He coughed out blood as it poured out of his body before he finally dropped to the floor.

Seeing this, she raised her hand and another man in a robe quickly went to her side.

”Clean it up.” She said

Without wasting any time, the man nodded before doing exactly as she told. He began to chant something and a small dark rectangle was formed underneath the corpse of the curently dead man.

”Good, now I'll ask again, where are they?”
