202 Assault to the City of the Sun (2/2)

Three of them end up with moderate injuries, and there was one who was almost intact.

There were two, however, with severe wounds and missing limbs. Their minds filled with fear when they see how the Sunlight Core was preparing the next barrage.

”Leader please help us.”

”Please save us.”

The man to whom they speak was the individual with the least injuries and when he hears those pleads of help he looks back for an instant before waving his hand and launching two balls of fire that kill the duo.

When the rest of the group saw it, they were shocked but there was no time to speak and they continue flying to the Endless Forest without stopping.

Another barrage was sent from the magic tower, but the group had already left the City of the Sun and although some of the beams manage to impact in them, it was not enough to stop from fleeing.

The group did not stop flying even after entering the Endless Forest and continue at their maximum speed until the City of the Sun was no longer visible.

They gather close to a big tree and some of them almost crumble to the ground due to the injuries that the last attack of golden fire left on them.

After noticing that there was no one around them, they remove their cloaks. They were two men and two women, all of them shared the distinctive traits of draconic horn in their heads and scales by the side of their faces.

A woman with blue hair looks at the strongest of the group, the man who killed the duo with fury in her eyes. He was three meters tall and his scales were red.

”Boris, why did you kill Sebastian and Natalia?. We could have saved them!”

When Boris heard the woman question, he sneered.

”Hmph, If we had stopped for just one second, we would have died under the attacks of the magic tower.”

The woman was smart and understood the logic of the man's words, but still, that did not diminish the anger inside her heart.

”Then why did you kill them. They were our friends, we could have rescued them in the future!”

When Boris hears those words that depict him as a heartless monster, his eyes became cold.

”Cinti, do I have to remind you of the cruelty of Zatiel Daybreak!. That man is not someone who will restrain himself because of our backgrounds. He would have tortured Sebastian and Natalia until they told him all they know and after he finds out what we have done, he will continue to torture them until they can no longer take it.” Boris was angry but there was also sadness in his eyes when he thought about his friends.

Only when Cinti heard those words and lets her rage calm down, did she understood that Boris' attack was an act of mercy.

They all have been thoroughly informed about the Daybreak Clan and the most notorious member of it before this mission.

Zatiel Daybreak was a name well known in the Aeternum Empire. A monstrous genius, capable of jumping Ranks in battle and with unbelievable skills as a Runemaster.

Leader of the Daybreak Clan and creator of the City of the Sun, a place that is the envy to most weak Magi in the empire due to its safety and the excellent living conditions.

He has a connection with Heinz, a Prince of the empire. Their relationship is so strong that the Prince did not hesitate to kill a Soul Forging existence to protect him.

He cares genuinely about his people and is merciless against those that try to harm them.

The group was able to obtain some information about his actions in the Beta Heavenly World, and how he tortured and then impale dozens of thousands of people of the Heavenly race.

The woman understands how dangerous and brutal he can be with his enemies. She knows very well that a fate worse than hell would have fallen on her friends if they end up captured by him but still the pain of losing them did not diminish.

Boris did not continue to rebuke her, since he understood very well her feelings and looks at the others before speaking.

”Our mission is over and we will rest for a few hours before going home. The other group should have obtained the package.”
