"Get away from her!" Lucius yelled at Helios after releasing the fireballs. He ran towards Anastasia and asked her, "Are you alright?"
She nodded at him.
Lucius asked, "What are you doing here? It's dangerous-"
"Do me a favor, Lucius," she took his hand and clenched it.
The blond young man's ear got red, embarrassed as he felt her soft touch, "What is it?"
Anastasia whispered to him, "Help me capture this man and his family. I will ask the Werewolves to cleanse them."
"Yes, sure- Wait. How did you know about the cleansing ritual?"
"You'll know soon… Apologies, but we have to capture them as soon as possible."
The two of them then faced Helios, who was already forming a shield made from hardened soil with his hand. Although made from soil, it was strengthened by his mana, giving it an appearance like the head of an angry horned animal.
