Chapter 279 - Eating till full (1/2)

Back on the City wall, Mia had been gathering a spell, the energy was slowly entering her crystal and her body around her. The power was slowly building up and small little rifts in the air could be seen.

”Breakthrough.”

Then Mia's hair colour suddenly changed from a dark purple to a silver colour, a faint outline could be seen on her body. She swung out her staff and at the same time dark purple energy left with it.

As soon as the energy had left her body, her hair colour had gone back to normal and the aura surrounding her had disappeared, she almost stumbled to the ground before a guard had managed to hold her up.

”Thank you handsome,” Mia said as she placed her hand on the guard's face.

The guard blushed in response, although the woman was beautiful, he had heard the rumours of the Tower masters and especially Mia. Mia had been in the city for one of the longest times and no one knew her real age but she was not as young as she seemed to be on the outside.

”Sir, it seems like most of the harpies have been defeated.” The guard reported to his head of staff.

”Most of them?” Mia said surprised. ”Show me what you are talking about?”

The guard then went back to the telescope and moved it just above to reveal a single Crowned Harpy.

”What's that doing there, and why is it still coming towards the city?” Mia thought, ”Place the telescope below, it seems the beast is chasing after something.”

The man did as he was told and when the scope was placed on the ground. It reviled a group of four people running for their lives.

Mia's eyes suddenly opened wide as she walked closer to the telescope. Her eyes were focused on a single man from the group of people running away.

”What the hell are you doing old man.”

Thanks to Jack and the mysterious purple energy, Lenny was much more confident in protecting those with him.

”Everyone get closer to me!” He shouted.

”Can you run on your own now?” Lenny asked Roy.

”Yes I have recovered my energy I won't slow you down.”

Lenny then quickly placed Roy on the ground as he waited for everyone to gather around him.

They did as they were told and even Rick chose to listen to him this time. Lenny then placed both of his hands together, and slowly a small golden circle started to form. The circle started to grow in size until it had eventually surrounded all four of them.

The Harpy then disappeared from the sky and came down swiping its wing. The attack hit the golden circle causing it to vibrate rapidly but the circle was fine and so were those inside.
