One of the men in the group then said, "Damn! She's caught up with us! What do we do now?"
And another man said, "She also destroyed the exit."
Their leader then said, "Calm down. We have gotten far enough away from the girl with the water essence. We just need to take care of this other girl so we can get out."
One of the men then said, "Are we going to fight her? She looks so strong."
And their leader said, "Don't be fooled by appearances. It's not because she looks strong that she is."
And another man said, "Still, boss. You don't think that-", but was interrupted by the leader of the group who said, "What are you afraid of? The four of us are awakened."
And one of the men said, "But we just lost."
The leader then said, "Pay attention. Don't confuse things. We may have lost to that girl with the water essence, but that's because she has an essence that is great for enclosed places like this. If we were in an open place, she would never have been able to defeat us. We would have even beaten her easily."
And one of the men said, "You're right, boss. It was our bad luck to be in an enclosed area."
Another man then said, "That's true. If we had been outside, we never would have lost to that girl."
Briny and Gen were walking towards the silver orb, and suddenly Briny sneezed, "Achoo!"
And Gen said, "Are you okay?"
"I don't know. Maybe I am coming down with a cold."
"It wouldn't be a surprise if you were since you get wet all the time by submerging places."
"Well, you have a point."
...
The group leader then said, "Now you got it. Let's finish this.", and then they all turned to Lina.
She then said, "Finally finished the motivational talk?"
And the group leader said, "Yes."
"Good. Let's get started then.", and she then started toward one of the men.
She quickly got in front of him, threw a punch in his direction, and just as she was about to hit him, their leader put his hands on the ground and said, "Things won't go your way.", and then a stone wall rose in front of the man.
Lina then said, "Hahaha. You must be underestimating me if you think a little wall like that is going to stop me.", and then punched the wall, tearing it apart.
She then looked behind the wall and saw that the man was no longer there.
She then turned around and heard Raja say in her head, 'Get down, Lina.', and without a second thought, she got down, and just as she did, an arrow went through where her body was.
She then saw that two of the men were a bit far away from her, and one of them was holding a bow. The man with the bow then stretched out his free hand, and an arrow appeared in his hand.
He then put the arrow in the bow and began to pull the string, but Lina said, "Like I'm going to let you.", and then used her wings to move quickly toward the bowman, but before she could walk far, a wall appeared in front of her.
She then said, "I told you, a wall like that won't hold me.", and then punched to break it.
Right after breaking the wall, an arrow appeared right in front of her, and she instinctively ducked quickly, but the arrow, as if it had a life of its own, followed her and then shot down toward her chest.
Lina then stretched out her hand towards the arrow, and then, just before the arrow hit her, Lina said, "Non-lethal."
A red mist then came out of her hand and covered up the arrow, which then hit her hand. The arrow then began to spin rapidly in Lina's palm, but she held it back and then broke it.
The archer then said, "Great. Now one of her hands is hurt. Let's take this chance to attack."
And Lina said, "I'm hurt? Who said so?", and then she showed them her hand, and it was possible to see that she hadn't hurt it.
The archer then said, "What?! How can that be?!"
She then thought, 'This archer is going to be annoying. I'd better deal with him first.'
She then prepared to go towards the archer, but Raja said in her head, 'Behind your back', and she turned and saw that there was a man behind her striking her with a sword.
Lina then quickly used her hand to meet his sword, and halfway there, she said, 'Lethality Swap.', and then her hand took on a faint hue of red, and a red mist was left in a small space around her hand.
The sword came into contact with the red mist, which made the red hue in Lina's hand much stronger, and soon after, it hit Lina's hand. However, unlike what everyone was expecting, Lina's hand cut the man's sword into two pieces.
The man was surprised to see this, and Lina didn't miss the opportunity, advancing toward him, but just as she was about to arrive, a wall appeared in front of her again.
Lina then said, "Not this time."
She then punched the wall, destroying it, and then quickly went towards the man and punched him, but just as the punch was about to hit him, another wall, a little thinner, appeared in front of him.
Lina then said, "I told you, not this time.", and then punched the wall, breaking it and punching the man through it.
The man flew back a few meters, and Lina quickly went after him, but Raja said in her head, 'Behind and above you.'
Lina then turned and saw an arrow coming towards her but saw nothing above her. She then stretched out her left arm and did the same thing as she had done with the arrow before.
The arrow began to spin in her hand again, but before Lina could get a hold of it, another arrow came from above, falling toward her head like a meteor.
She then repeated the process and stretched out her other hand to meet the arrow that was coming from above and stopped it with her hand, but just then, four pointed stone pillars came out of the ground and headed towards her. Lina then flapped her wings and flew away, dodging the pillars, and then broke the two arrows in her hand.
She then thought, 'I have to get rid of this archer, or it will be impossible to do anything.',
She then turned towards the archer and saw that there was already another arrow coming towards her.
Lina then used her wings to dodge the arrow and started to go quickly towards the archer.
He then started to shoot arrows in her direction, but Lina dodged all the arrows and arrived in front of him.
Just as she was about to hit him, a wall appeared in front of her, and she said, "I'm tired of these walls.", and then punched it, breaking it, but as she broke through the wall, she saw that an arrow was already coming toward her, so she quickly dodged it, and said, "Don't think the same trick will work twice."
The group leader then said, still with his hand on the ground, "Good thing it's not the same trick then.", and then four much bigger and thicker walls appeared around her, closing her in.
Lina then said, "Hahaha, I don't know why you bothered to lock me in here. If I break one of these walls, I'm out."
And the man said, "Feel free to try.", and then he put his two hands together and said, "Death box.", and just then, several pointed pillars began to emerge from the four walls and went towards Lina.
Seeing this, she was surprised and quickly began to release a red mist around her body. Right after that, the pointed pillars reached her and pressed against her body.
The archer then went towards the group leader and arrived there together with the sword-wielding man and the other man who did not take part in the fight.
The group leader then said, "It's done. No one escapes my death box. She's definitely dead or in critical condition.", and then sat down on the floor, panting heavily.
The man who didn't take part in the fight then approached the leader and touched him on the back with the palms of both hands. A green mist then surrounded his hands, and slowly, the group leader regained his breath.
After a while, the group leader stood up and said, "Thank you. I'm feeling better already."
And the archer said, "What do we do now, leader? Even though we defeated her since you used the death box, there's no way we can use her as a hostage, and the exit is still blocked."
The leader then said, "Sometimes you say things without thinking, don't you? Have you forgotten that I have the essence of the rock? It's easy for me to get these stones out of the way. I just didn't get them before because we were fighting with her."
And the archer said, "That's right, I forgot."
The then leader said, "Come on. I'll clear the way."
They then headed for the door, but when they got there, they heard an explosion.
They then turned back and saw Lina flying out of the stone box.
The leader then said, "How is that possible?!"
