"Why are you people still standing there just watching us? Go get whoever's running the town." I said, looking around at the people who were watching.
I understood that when it comes to fight or flight reflexes some people don't do any and just stand there. Now wasn't the time for that though. Even if I did just beat Kerrin there was still Ren I had to worry about. I know Ashe and Serene have been holding him off but I don't know how long they can last.
The strength from my legs suddenly vanished and I fell to the ground. I ended up using more magic then I should have been able to. Alice ran over to me and helped me up. She held onto me so I didn't fall back down.
As Alice began to carry me over to safety and large crashing noise came from behind us. The ground shook for a moment almost causing us to fall over. We both turned around slowly knowing full well who made that noise.
"Talk about powerful magic. That beam was crazy powerful. It even caused some of my clothes to get torn up." Kerrin said, removing the cloak he was wearing.
There wasn't anything I could do to stop him. I was completely out of energy and even with Alice's help I couldn't take him down. 'It's not like anyone powerful is just going to randomly appear.' I thought, trying to use reverse psychology.
Kerrin began walking towards us. I closed my eyes and braced myself for what was to come but his footsteps suddenly stopped. I slowly began to reopen my eyes to see what was going on and saw that he was looking up into the sky.
"Great, another distraction I have to deal with." Kerrin said.
Someone suddenly appeared in front of Kerrin and attempted to slash him. Kerrin blocked his attack and jumped back. The man lowered his blade and turned his head towards us.
"The hell were you kids thinking trying to take on someone this powerful? Do you have a death wish or something?" He asked with a stern look.
He sighed and returned his attention to Kerrin. In a flash, the man was right next to Kerrin and swung his blade. Kerrin just barely managed to dodge and jumped away again. From the look on his face, I could tell Kerrin was surprised on how fast this person was.
Ashe and Serene suddenly came running out of the church looking beat up. The man gave us another stern look before once again looking back at Kerrin.
"Since you're here I'm guessing you beat Ren?" I asked.
"Yeah about that, he finally revealed his power. There wasn't any way for us to beat it so we attempted to reunite with you guys." Ashe said, gasping for breath.
I didn't like where this was going. Ren finally revealed one of his powers and it somehow managed to scare Ashe and Serene to the point where they ran away.
"What kind of magic did he use?" I asked cautiously.
"Duplication." Serene said bluntly, right as five Rens bursted through the church door.
