The city was in flames, destroyed buildings and wandering children were everywhere. I took a deep breath and was ready to draw my sword, but Ahsoka reassured me not to do anything stupid.
The members of the dictatorship plundered everything in their path. They were dressed all in black, with a black cloak and a black mask. All of them held red swords with the symbol of a stabbed hawk.
"So these bastards are responsible for this."
"Pandora members, they're the highest battalion. They've the necessary skills for something like this, experienced knights and mages, they also called inquisitors.
"Tch, what're we going to do?" I asked.
"There's nothing we can do, Anwynne. We don't stand a chance there," Ahsoka said.
"Yes we do, just stay with Sophia," I articulated and ran towards the flames.
"WHAT'RE YOU DOING?" Ahsoka screamed.
I walked up slowly in order not to be heard. I saw the Pandora members negotiating. I couldn't hear exactly what they were saying.
I decided to turn around, but the next moment I saw a Pandora member trying to kill me. He was a huge man.
He tried to take a shot at me, but somehow I managed to dodge him and run away. Unfortunately for me, he was very fast and managed to catch up with me. Then I decided to use the same technique I used on Ahsoka.
I did a somersault in the air and tried to hit the Pandora member, but to no avail. He managed to catch my leg and fling me away.
"That stupid girl, I can't believe it!" Ahsoka said.
"Aren't you gonna help her ? I'm gonna be fine, I know a safe place for me. Just go there and help Anwynne." Sophia averred.
"Shit, fine. But be careful."
Meanwhile, I was getting beaten up by this huge bastard; I couldn't escape. I tried to stop him with my sword, but it was useless. He was just too strong for me.
"This is the end of you, stupid girl," The Pandora member said as he was ready to kill me with his sword.
But suddenly a mist appeared around the city. A really dignified mist. While I was ready to be killed, the Pandora member's head was decapitated.
"What ? How?" I questioned.
"If you do not want to die, follow me," Ahsoka said, grabbing my hand.
I was behind Ahsoka the whole time as she was killing members of Pandora. I finally had a chance to see her powers.
There were three members in front of us. Ahsoka cast a spell that could slowly break their core, but it required some time.
"Sacred Anemo Magic: Zephyr's Glory." This spell could break someone's core, but it could only be used once for five minutes.
"This spell is only valid for a limited time. Anwynne, I want you to go there and buy us some time until it works. Can you do it right?" Ahsoka asked.
"I'll try," I said, running toward them at high speed.
I succeeded in distracting them. They started chasing me, and I managed to hit one of them with my mana energy ball. I stopped and fought with them sword to sword. I was able to keep up with them. They were weaker than the huge guy before them. But Ahsoka's spell also helped.
"Good job, girl. We got this," Ahsoka said, but the next moment she was kicked in the face by a Pandora member.
Suddenly, I felt like I was having a harder time with them than before. My body could not hold on anymore and I was about to fall.
I turned my head and saw a man who was also a Pandora member. But he was different; his mask was scratched and his cloak was torn. Also, he had a red pattern on his shoulder with the same stung hawk, and on the part of his right hand had the latin symbol for the number two (II).
"Who is this bastard?" I asked as I was punched in the face by an inquisitor.
For a moment we had the advantage. But then this man came and interrupted Ahsoka.
"That's just the worst," Ahsoka said as she lay injured on the ground.
I was so dizzy and I almost could not see anything. The moment I could see clearly again, this man grabbed Ahsoka by the neck and was ready to kill her.
"You rats have no business being there, and that was your biggest mistake." The man declared.
I tried to aim my mana ball at him, but somehow he managed to destroy it.
He let go of Ahsoka and moved toward me. Suddenly I felt a violent pressure on me; that bastard made me float in the air.
"What the hell are you?" I asked.
"The man who will kill you."
I could not move at all. My whole body was ready to break. His power was immense. I could feel how powerful his mana was.
Luckily for me, Ahsoka went after him and managed to hit him with her sword. She had already wiped out the others. So now he was the only one .
"How did you do that?" I asked.
"All this time, that was just my clone. Now the real show begins."
"So cool."
The man turned and saw Ahsoka standing there with her sword ready to fight. In the next moment, he decided to draw his sword as well. It was much redder than the other Pandora members'.
"Anwynne, just go, this man is dangerous. He is the second strongest inquisitor. He also has the name Nod," Ahsoka explained.
"I am not going anywhere, I am going to stay with you and fight."
"Tch, silly girl. Then let us do it."
We ran toward him, but in the next moment he cast a high-intensity spell.
"Gravitational Magic: Devouration of Apocalypse" This spell was able to amplify gravity and was able to distort spaces.
We could no longer move and I could feel my bones slowly being broken. I tried to turn my head and saw a huge rock in front of us, ready to melt us.
The rock was moving towards us at high speed, but Ahsoka tried to bisect the rock with a spell.
"Anemo Magic: Boreas Awaken" This spell could cut various objects in half, but also create a space like a cage from which there was no escape.
"In this room, I can control everything. You have lost Nod," Ahsoka articulated.
When I managed to escape, I went behind him and tried to hit him, but he just flicked me away with one finger. He also touched the ground with his hand and managed to destroy the whole space as the trees around the landscape were getting destroyed. He distorted the entire place.
"W-what, my spell was destroyed so easily. That was literally one of my strongest spells," Ahsoka muttered.
I was lying on the ground. My left leg was injured. But I could not give up. I had to keep fighting, or we would surely die.
"Tch, useless, useless, I am useless," I said as I had tears in my eyes.
Nod was ready to finish us off. We could not do anything at all. He was on another level.
"Anwynne, get up. We have to defeat him, or else...."
"There is nothing you can do here. This city is at its mercy," Nod said.
"No, we will fight you and then get rid of you," I said firmly and stood up.
"Then you will die."
