BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Damn. They are using that magic."
Grey thought to himself as he stopped using [Rose Vine Annihilation] to bombard the siblings with fire magic, this was because they had used a different type of magic to counter his magic.
The two were using a pair of bone shields made out of shadows, and these seemed very resistant to fire and wind damage.
'They are both Death Special affinity holders as I had suspected.'
Grey was already starting to feel uncomfortable due to the death mana that was collecting around the area, but it was to a lesser degree when compared to the higher tiers like tier 4 death magic.
"Murray, he stopped firing. It seems that Lt Crawford has also arrived though I must say she looks very angry."
"He had no choice, he could not break through our [Shadow Bone Prison], Gemma we will retreat to join Lt Crawford, it seems like his team came to support him we cannot finish him with them there to help him."
The two siblings retreated towards Francesca, Grey did not stop them, he also had to regain his mana after that the heavy usage of mana he used in other to use rose vine bombardment.
Grey looked around him, he could see enemies had his team and himself surrounded, even the opening that was open was close, his only choice is to escape or kill the people surrounding him.
"Lt Stein what is the plan, it looks like Ruhen really thinks Grey is a major threat to the kingdom such they would put up such an elaborate plan to have him killed. I must say this is first for me, I knew geniuses could be targeted during war, but this is a new extreme."
"It's capture Lt Halifax."
Abe Kohler had gotten someone else to hold him as he explained to Lt Halifax.
"It's the same, do you think he will survive being captured in enemy territory, I am guessing they will want to torture him to get information that we don't know of then get rid of him."
"Lt Frenzel, what about us, they don't want to capture us, do you think they could let us go?"
Every person in the team looked at the idiot called Cassandra, Grey still did not understand how such a person like her was not dead.
"Cassie, they want to hurt Grey, how could we let them do what they want, we have to protect him. I am sure there is a big reason why Ruhen would want him dead, they believe he is threat for them. That means he is an advantage for our Arin."
Grey had yet to say anything, he was running through simulations on how this could play out, and every simulation showed a lot of dead people on both sides.
'In terms of forces, we have six tier 2 mages and ten tier 1 mages, we are outnumbered in both places. A frontal breakthrough attack will have us losing people like flies.'
"Lt Stein, I think it is best to try and breakthrough, though I am sure we will suffer heavy casualties, but we are the Mage Army of Arin and were are not afraid of death. Ruhen feels that Grey is too dangerous, if that is the case, it is our duty to help him breakthrough this encirclement and get him to safety."
Lt Franzel was a man who was of Qila's age group, but the large black beard on his face made him look like a middle aged male.
"I agree with you lieutenant."
2nd Lt Karlsen, the second in charge to Lt Franzel seconded his lieutenant's words with conviction, these two were the lieutenants in Sophia's team.
"No."
Those were the words everyone heard from their short leader, Qila.
"What?! Grey is in danger and we must save him!"
Grey shook his head as he heard Sophia shouting for him, he still did not understand why this person was just so obsessed with him, such she would get rid of her pacifistic principles.
Grey was sure that Sophia was releasing her bloodlust, something that she did not like doing.
"No."
"WHY?!"
"Sophia calm down, I am sure Lt Stein has a plan."
In once in a blue moon situation, Sophia had lost her reasoning, this made everyone wonder if there is a special relationship between Grey and her.
However from their short observation, the people in the team could tell this was a one sided thing.
Thus Cassandra had to be the one to calm down the supposed big sister in Sophia and her relationship.
"If we are to die, we will die having killed the lot of them, if we try and breakthrough we will be leaving our rear open to their full unrestricted attack."
When Sophia heard that, she had a face she had never showed, the face of a person who wanted to kill.
Grey just nodded to Qila in understanding, Grey had to stop [The Forbidden Realm] if he did not want to lower the power of his allies.
However in response Grey casted another spell that would help him in the coming battle.
"You have decided to stop running huh, Grey?"
Francesca said with a deep look on her face.
"It looks like you are ready for a final death battle, it is not as if I would have it another way, you killed my friends, I would have the same thing done to you."
Grey looked at Francesca and Signe and the other people who had surrounded them.
'It looks like I will have to show this to the world.'
"[Luminosity Armourment Robe]."
As Grey said those words, a white male mage robe started to materialise on Grey's body, there were decorations made of red and green on the robe which symbolised fire and wind.
"Grey, another spell?"
The robe was a spell that did not have an attack, defence or control abilities, there only ability the robe was to increase the effectiveness of magic that the castor uses while wearing it.
The robe would increase the effectiveness of Light magic by 10% and 5% for fire and wind, thus this robe acted as a buff ability for Grey.
"GET READY FOR COMBAT!"
Francesca shouted to her supporters, she could tell that Grey would not pull punches with them, he would kill as many of them.
"Grey you must survive."
Grey heard Qila who was next to him say those words in a whisper as if she hoped no one would hear them, but Grey was sure every person heard them with their high awareness.
Grey just nodded to her in understanding.
"Take this chance to do the most damage."
Grey did not give his team any more explanation as he casted, [Gamma Flash Bomb], as the opening to the battle.
BOOOMM!
A giant explosion of deep green light could be seen exploding, attacking a group of mages being lead by a tier 2 mage, Grey attacked them because Francesca was to guarded against him.
"ATTACK!"
Qila ordered her team.
