Meanwhile, Harrow was keeping track of the happenings by sensing their energy, he then noticed a fluke, and the outburst of the Kuroi's strength.
"What!!, these Kuroi's, they're monstrous, but how didn't I note this, these children might not stand long, I can't get to them seeing that I don't know their exact location, I should rush there at once, I hope they don't act reckless."
Harrow ran in their direction hoping to get to them, Amber on the other hand still struggles getting up on his feet, he was drenched out of his energy after the fight with the Kuroi and he had in mind that one enemy remains, still thinking about Alice, he then gets a notification.

"Since its a motion, skill if I run I'll get a boost, I guess I should call out my sword."
Amber called forth his sword, and took a stance to run and immediately it was as though he teleported to the kuroi, he raised his hands and strikes down at the kuroi and suddenly, the kuroi started emitting dark flames, Amber stopped and moved back.
"this is bad, it woke up, I can't keep this up for long, I have myself and Dread to watch over and I don't know how Alice is doing, I'll have to go beyond reasoning then."
The Kuroi looked at Amber and came towards him slowly stretching it's hands towards him, Amber stepped back In fear, he suddenly notices something changed in the kuroi, he looked at the kuroi closely and suddenly noticed that its black eyes changed to that of a human and it spoke instead of screeching.
"h-help me, please!."
Amber looked at the kuroi in confusion, he didn't understand what was going on, the kuroi then fell in pain, Amber still stood confused.
"Dawn, use Examine 1."

"I think it would work, use skill bondage."
Immediately Amber gave the order What looked like smoke shaped hands left Amber's body and covered up the Kuroi's eyes, suddenly after that the kuroi was at ease and stiffened.

"I just need rest nothing more."
Amber fell on his face and blacked out, meanwhile, Alice had just come in contact with the other Kuroi, ignorant as he was he went straight with a fire strike, the kuroi took the flame head on and burst it's own flames out, the Kuroi's entire body wad covered in flame, Alice stood back in fear and Angel had just caught up with Alice to behold the sight, she was cowering in the awe of such sight.
"umm, Alice let's go back, let's regroup with Dread and Amber and take three on together, if we face it as we are we will die."
"shut up, you're just like, like that weakling you call my brother, I am not you, I'll face it head on take my chances and break all restrictions, I promised to save the weak, watch me burn the devil."
Alice shunned her and she stood back and kept on cowering, Alice was scared in mind, but still he kept on a strong face.
'I can beat this thing, I don't enough strength, but still I won't go back on my words my pride is my greatest weapon' Alice said to him self
"I'll pour out brimstone and fire on you, I will even burn myself to ashes, to make sure you die, Angel stay back, Pyro-kinesis— Fire Breath, Pyro-portation."
Alice used a similar move to the one he used at the test, he kept on pouring flames and teleporting round the kuroi, the creature didn't even move it kept on absorbing he's flame and then it replicated Alice's move and once it tried it, Alice fell to his feet, bleeding profusely, he thought only about the skill Amber was talking about, the kuroi on the other hand went to take down Angel and as it raised its hands to strike Alice got up and took the stab, he looked at Angel and told her to run around and create a distraction for him to use the skill Amber shower him, she and the kuroi followed afterwards.
"you abomination, you made trample on my pride and I'm going to use the move Amber told me about, I'll make sure you burn to ashes, not even a bone would remain, Pyro-kinesis— flame overload. "
Alice's heats and flames starts rising and rising and when it became to hot he dropped the temperature, meanwhile Angel was still running from the kuroi, the heat was too much it started messing with her vision that she fell while running, the kuroi raised a hand to strike and then Alice said.
"Have fun in hell, Pyro-kinesis— SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION. " Immediately Alice released the flames it rushed out, the kuroi stood in one position to thinking it be the same as the others, the fire roasted the kuroi to shred, Alice fell after seeing the kuroi had been defeated and only one thing came out of his mouth.
"Amber's amazing."
