"Alright guys, as usual, be careful and do your job properly. This is the last house and after this, we'll go straight into the Forest of Beast" (Husk)
"Yes Leader!" (Everyone)
"Let's go keep watch Ben" (Husk)
"Good luck everyone, hope we find something good" (Ben)
After that, Husk and Ben go out into the perimeter of the house to keep watch.
"I will conjure the wind dome now." (Edgar)
Edgar conjured the soundproof wind dome, and Zayn, Mark, and Robin went inside to unlock the door and do the operation.
---
"Ben, you go South and I will go north, then we're going to circle the house, don't go too deep into the Forest of Beast though, there should be no one there at this hour and it is dangerous." (Husk)
"If anything happens, remember don't deal with it yourself, ask me first unless the situation is urgent." (Husk)
"Yes boss, don't worry about it" (Ben)
Then Husk and Ben separated from each other and patrolled around the area.
Although Ben is not a fan of the cold wind and the silence of the night, keeping watch around the area is already his job since forever and his strong build surely can put up with it.
'I think I can take this one easy since this is the last mission and we're in the middle of nowhere.' Ben calmly talked to himself. He is glad that even though they went through a lot, they haven't lost anyone and he planned to keep it that way even in the future. 'After this, we just can lay-low for a while before starting our next mission in the next kingdom' Ben thought to himself.
Ben noticed that, even though he's inside a forest, it is too quiet. He usually heard the chirping of crickets and sometimes the howl of an owl when inside a forest, but this time he heard nothing.
'Now that's weird' Ben thought.
Ben decided to go deeper into the forest to see if there's anything going on there.
He walked for a little to make sure not to go in too deep and searched the nearby area and found nothing.
But when he decided to go back, he saw a flash of light in the corner of his eyes and followed by his vision suddenly turned black and the feeling of his body floating.
Husk saw a light flashing in the distance where Ben was supposed to do his patrol.
"What is that?" He asked himself.
He doesn't really worried about Ben because he knew that Ben is a strong fighter, but just in case anything bad happens. He quickly hurried on to where the light was.
He ran through the uneven grounds of the forest and between the trees.
When he arrived, he saw nothing weird in particular, only the quiet forest that welcomed him.
"So you are his friend?" (???)
Husk jumped from where he was and searched for the source of where the voice is coming.
He then saw a kid only as tall as his waist sitting on a branch of a tree while playing with a huge thing that looked like a huge axe that seems familiar to him, but because of the darkness of night and there is quite a distance from the kid, he can't see what the kid is holding clearly.
"What are you doing here at this late our kid?" (Husk)
"Me? Nothing. I'm just cleaning some trash." (???)
The kid jumped from the branch and walked to Husk. When the kid is near enough. Husk finally able to see what was the kid holding in his hand.
"You... WHERE DID YOU GET THAT HALBERD!?" (Husk)
"This? I just found it somewhere on the ground." The kid said while flailing the halberd around as if it weighs as light as a wooden stick.
"Give it to me now!" (Husk)
"Why?? I found it first !" (???)
"You don't know what the thing you are holding, that is not yours! And..." (Husk)
"WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY I'M HIS FRIEND?" (Husk)
"Good gods, finally you caught up." (???)
"If you already know then let's get started!" (???)
Yes, the kid is Angra. Angra wielded the halberd and come straight to Husk. Husk dodged the attack and countered by throwing a small knife which Angra easily defended by using earth fusion making his skin as tough as the earth.
Seeing Angra is not a normal kid, Husk sensed something bad is happening and he decided to finish it quickly to keep his family's safety in check.
"WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING US?" (Husk)
"Oi you robbed my house and you're still asking why did I attack you? Have some common sense man." (Angra)
Angra then changed to wind fusion and used his enhanced speed to match with Husk's speed.
The battle so far is well-matched and Angra keeps getting better at using the halberd at his hand making it harder and harder for Husk to keep up.
Angra infused earth element into the halberd making it even harder than before and slashed into Husk from the top down. Husk who can't feel the mana infused in the halberd tried defending it like before by crossing his dagger to hold the halberd's blow.
To Husk's surprise, the halberd is stronger and denser than before causing one of his dagger cracks and breaking his right arm.
Sensing that if the fight is dragged on, his opponent may keep getting better and better at using the weapon so he decided to try and end the fight as quickly as possible.
"I'm sorry kid, I have nothing against you, but my family is important and I need to protect them!" (Husk)
Suddenly Husk's body is wrapped in mana which Angra noticed is the same as his fusion skill, but what caught Angra's attention is that the mana wrapped in Husk's body is not the ordinary four elemental mana, it was death mana!
"Oh interesting!" (Angra)
"Sorry kid, I have to end this!" (Husk)
Husk dashed to where Angra is standing and slashed his dagger at him. The now-death mana-infused dagger is able to cope with Angra's halberd.
"Don't even try anything kid, the death mana from the dagger will spread to your body and eat you from the inside. Just accept your fate and die quickly!" (Husk)
Angra said nothing while still holding the halberd and locking with Husk's dagger.
"Just give up kid, you will die painfully if you.." (Husk)
"You talk too much, don't you know that?" (Angra)
"You're at death's door and still dare to speak like that?" (Husk)
"Why don't you just..." (Husk)
Husk wasn't able to finish what he said because what he sensed next are even more shocking than his death mana fusion.
"You..." (Husk)
"Yes, sadly you're not special old man, I can use it too," Angra said while using his own death mana fusion.
His death mana has a more chaotic and ferocious attribute. Angra's death mana ate Husk's and soon attacked Husk's body.
"How are you not affected by my death mana and why are you so strong??!?" (Husk)
"Birth talent maybe? I know it's not fair, but deal with it." (Angra)
With Husk's body keep on weakening while Angra's getting stronger, Husk knew that there's no way he will able to survive this.
"My family... please spare them..." (Husk)
"Don't worry, I think that you all are able to be with each other sooner than you think" (Angra)
A slash through the head then freed Husk from his body's suffering from the death mana.

'I'm done here' (Angra)
'I see you're quite talkative today Gra' (Faust)
'Yes, it's been a while since I've talked this much. And I wanted to test how strong they are without ambushing them, if I only used the lightning fusion, he won't even be able to react at all and I will not improve my skills. Oh and I think I've found a new toy that I liked' Angra said while playing with the halberd in his hand, tossing it up and flailing it around.
'I can keep this right?' (Angra)
'Of course, we can give that guy another weapon.' (Faust)
'Oh? So you've decided to do the thing? That's good then.' (Angra)
'Btw, Are you done over there?' (Angra)
'No, I took things slowly and there are still 3 guys left, maybe you can help me with the mage?' (Faust)
'Yeah sure, why not.' (Angra)
---
'Alright now let's finish things up here.' Faust said to himself. He was in the backyard and a lifeless and limp body was sprawled near his feet.
"I'm sorry, but you are a threat to my family and I won't tolerate any threat to my family even how small it is. I promise you that you will be more useful in my hands later." Faust said as he recalled the death mana from Mark's body.
Faust then picked himself up with spirit and wind magic then went to the second floor of his house in the bedroom. And waited until the other robber arrived there.
He sat on the bed with his leg hanging and looked at the beautiful moon outside the window, making the night seems majestic.
Not long after that, a creaking sound of a door was heard.
Faust looked at Zayn who just opened the door.
Zayn was shocked to see a small child with black hair and innocent eyes looked at him and asked
"Sir who are you? Why are you in my room?" (Faust)
Zayn does not like the idea of hurting a child, so he tried to play it calmly and pretend like a good man
"Um Hello kid, why are you still awake? By the way there's nothing wrong. Your parents told me to grab some of their stuff so can you tell me where they usually put their belongings?" (Zayn)
"Ohh, so that's why" (Faust)
"They usually put their stuff on the second compartment of the desk right there" (Faust)
Faust said while pointing to a desk in the deep corner of the room.
"Alright thank you kid, and don't stay up late, it's not good for you kids growing up." (Zayn)
"Yes sir thank you!" (Faust)
Zayn then went into the desk Faust mentioned and checked each compartment but failed to find anything.
"Kid are you sure they keep it here? I can't seem to find anything."
But there's no answer.
"Kid?"
Zayn then saw a mana arrow pierced through his body and a small wind dome are enveloping his head.
He wanted to scream and warn the others but the air dome prevented him from making any sound and the mana arrow seem to sap the strength out of his body.
'IS THIS DEATH ATTRIBUTE?' This fact shocked him more than a five years old being this capable of using magic.
He tried to run and jumped from the window but another death attribute mana arrow was launched again to his body making even standing is hard.
After his body completely parallel to the wooden floor, Faust finally expands the wind dome to cover the whole room.
"You see, I have no particular grudge with you guys and you are free to do whatever you wanted, but sadly you decided to come here and rob this house." (Faust)
"We don't want to kill you or anything we just wanted to grab some quick cash then leave! We don't even harm a single person here." (Zayn)
"Don't worry I know, I saw what you guys did on the town earlier and it is true that you didn't kill anyone" (Faust)
"Then why are you doing this? Can't you just let me go?" (Zayn)
"I'm sorry but no. I can't tolerate anything threatening my family, no matter how small of a threat it is." (Faust)
"Are you crazy? We don't plan to harm you at all!" (Zayn)
"Sorry, a threat is a threat." (Faust)
"Alright just kill me then! Let the others leave from here!" (Zayn)
"Sorry but no can do! Why do you think I'm keeping you here and chatted with you? I'm waiting for the other one to come here." (Faust)
"Wait no... LEAVE HIM ALONE!" (Zayn)
"He is with you guys so there's no exception" (Faust)
"HE IS JUST A KID YOU DEMON! LEAVE HIM OUT OF THIS!" (Zayn)
"Excuse me? You guys come here and bother me first then you're saying I'm the bad guy? But you're not wrong tho I'm actually a half-demon."
Hearing Faust's answer, Zayn could not say anything back and just lifelessly stared at the wooden floor.
Before long he saw the door slowly opened and saw Robin coming in.
"RUN ROBIN!!!" (Zayn)
"Robin? You are robbers and called Robin? Is your full name Robin Hood then?" (Faust)
Before Robin could say nor do anything, Faust cut off Robin's head with his hand that has earth attribute fusion. Making his hand dirty with Robin's blood that gushes out from the headless body.
"Damn this fusion thing is unclassy and dirty, I can't see why Angra liked it so much." (Faust)
Looking at Robin's headless corpse, Zayn was shocked in disbelieve and don't even have anything left to say. He just stared blankly and stopped fighting the death's mana eating at his body.
"Don't be sad you guys will all be together again! Soon! I promise." (Faust)
Then Faust proceeded to conjure another death mana arrow to Zayn's head finally ending his misery.
