"Some little rats made their way here." A masked woman says as she stands Infront of the weaken and barely standing Queen.
"What are you students doing here." The Queen panted.
"We are here to rescue you while Dray deals with the cloaked man outside." Rein answers.
"So that's what is holding up Lynx no matter this is still going according to the plan." the masked woman Remarked.
"Claire, you support us with your ice magic while I and Lot go in." Rein instructed.
"Who put you in charge, but I understand." Claire responded.
Rein transformed his alloy ring into a katana, while performing enhancing magic, Lot also used his enhancing spell.
"I will deal with you, after I dispose of these kids."
Rein and Lot charged towards the masked woman, she threw daggers as them, but Rein easily deflects them with his katana, Lot leaps over him.
"Sacred Palm level 2!"
Lots arial palm strike hits the masked woman directly pushing her back, however she shakes it off easily.
"That had a little bite to it not bad boy."
Without giving her any time to rest, Rein's swung his katana down with tremendous force, the masked woman tries dodging it, but she doesn't escape without any damage.
"You bastard how dare you cut me."
"Now Claire." Rein shouted.
Ice crawled along the ground freezing the woman's legs, in place.
"Sacred Palm Level 4!"
Lot strikes the woman powerfully as she flew back hitting the wall.
"That should have done it." Lot noted.
"That was really something else you guys are very well coordinated."
At the sound of that voice shivers crawled down there spines more so for Claire as the voice came from directly behind her.
The two boys turned around to see a dagger in Claire's back, she fell to the ground.
"Now how are you going to do without the girl supporting you." maliciously said the masked woman.
"How did she get there?" Lot implied.
"We can focus on that later we have to get Claire." Rein said concerned.
Rein's Azure cannon fired towards the woman, but she easily deflects them.
Lot appears behind the woman with a kick, which she grabs his leg and
throws him back at Rein who cushions Lots fall.
"I am done playing your attacks won't work on me, if you don't hurry though the girl will soon die of the poison I injected, even if you do defeat me you still can't save her without an antidote." The masked woman taunted.
[What can we do she seems so big and the mana around her is so dense, and if we don't hurry Claire could die.]
"Ehm you guys should just take the Queen and leave me." Claire coughed.
"What are you even saying ever since you lost to Rein you have been acting different, where is that fight." Lot urged
"Lot is right we cannot afford to leave anyone behind, we are team even when we were split up I believe we can overcome this." Rein encouraged.
"Are you done with your little team talk." The masked woman mocked.
"You two are so stupid, I was just having a little mental lapse, Blizzard!!"
Claire created a blizzard, as she formed ice bullets which hurdled towards the masked woman.
"You shouldn't even be able to move or even cast a spell." the woman says as she deflects the ice off balanced.
In the mist of the blizzard, a punch forcefully hits the woman back.
"Azure twin slashes!!"
Blue flames engulf Rein's sword as he slashes through the masked woman two times.
"Now Let me finish this with my strongest ice spell Blizzards imprisonment high level spell." Claire voiced
Crystal hard ice encapsulate the mask woman imprisoning her in it.
The Blizzard begins to dissipate, as Claire falls to the ground.
"Claire!!" Lot and Rein both shout as they run over by her side.
"The poison is finally taking its full toll on me." Claire says with a grimace expression as she falls into unconsciousness .
"Sorry about this Claire I hope you can forgive us for doing this." Rein apologizes
They take off her jacket to her undershirt to see how bad the poison was, they both gasp at seeing how badly it at started to spread in her back.
"That witch she will pay, for this!" Lot yelled furiously
"Claire it's going to be okay just hang in there." Rein says as places his hand over the spot where the poison was injected.
"What do you mean it's going to be okay if we don't have any antidote or any spell to deal with the poison, we have no chance of saving her." Lot argues
"You're usually calm, just trust me this spell should work I hope." Rein implies.
Rein closes his eyes as he uses his mana to analyze the elements in the poison.
[I got it this stuff is some toxic poison luckily, I can use the Feralite mana I have to create an antidote.]
"Who am I, where am I this void is so empty and cold." Claire thinks as her mind begins to fade.
"Wake up Claire."
"You got 'a wake up now."
"Whose voices are those and what is this warm feeling?"
"You can't give up fight it."
"Those are Rein and Lot voices; I remember now I can't afford to die here now there is still something I want to do." Claire asserted.
Claire's eyes begin to open slowly as her breathing normalizes, the two boys hug her as tears gently roll down their cheeks.
"Don't ever do that again." Rein says.
"Yes." Lot added.
"I will try not too." Claire responded.
