Chapter 14 - Invasion

Charles immediately sprinted off towards the room he had left the other four only to meet King already instructing the others to evacuate the members.

"You were supposed to see this coming Charles" King said before walking out hastily out of the room. They were under siege and he had just managed to see this only few minutes ago but it was late now. He had seen that their enemies were powerful ones and they weren't alone. They had an army from what he had seen. An army from hell.

The siblings arrived into the room soon constantly following him. They knew nothing here and leaving them alone was like giving them a death sentence and if they continued following him, they'd end up slowing him down if they were to ever run into an enemy.

"Stay here" Charles ordered. The grade one meeting room was more secluded than any other place in the building and was off limits to anyone apart from the two higher ups, grade ones and people who had been given special permission.

Charles rushed off, his brother was still out with the rest of the others and so was his best friend. Even if Harry was strong enough to protect the two of them, he wouldn't last long against the people he had just seen and Harry would also be holding back to not get his fellow Advocates caught up in his terrain change. Wilson's abilities didn't make him much of a fighter, his ability could only work if the opponent had been ambushed or was unaware of what Wilson was about to do. Either way, they were in big trouble.

This was the first time this was happening in a long time. Guild members couldn't pass through the barrier so this happening was almost unexpected which meant everyone outside there was in big trouble.

The entire place was in chaos when he arrived. Most of the Advocates had been evacuated and he was relieved a little, while the stronger ones mostly grade two Advocates stayed back to ward off the enemies and their horde of hellish dogs which they had come with.

Charles rushed in and dove forward, pushing a boy down just before a dog jumped over them. He pulled himself and the kid up immediately avoiding a claw swipe towards them from the beast before hurling the boy away from danger into Ezekiel's arms.

Ezekiel was the last member of the Grade one Advocate and his ability was healing. This was his sole purpose in the group. He wasn't built for battle but was more of a support character and he never failed in that duty. His healing capabilities were beyond anything they had ever seen, he could bring back one who was at the brink of death back to good health without even breaking a sweat.

Charles dodged another attack from the beast, he didn't have time for pests like this. He grabbed the rampaging creature by it's outstretched fore limb which was thrown forward to mutilate his face. He twisted the limb breaking it in that mere action before slamming the creature into the earth and stepping on its head instantly crushing it's skull. The dog let out a faded whimper before slowly turning to dust.

He proceeded forward, killing anything that dared to stand in his path why his eyes were constantly searching for his brother and best friend. If anything happened to them, then he'd make sure the Guild paid a much higher price for it.

His eyes finally caught sight of what looked like Harry. He had just summoned a whole terrain full of ice spikes and instantly impaled more dogs than he had killed since he entered in an instant but at the same time, he had fallen to his knees, blood pouring out of his mouth. He was already at his limits and pushing beyond. He was killing himself.

Rage had suddenly filled up in him and in an instant, he had reached the bleeding Harry and had immediately tossed him towards Ezekiel who appeared to be everywhere at the same time. He picked up a piece of metal from the ground and walked slowly but menacingly towards his next victim. His blood was boiling and the best way to cool himself down now was by putting this piece of metal into the skull ofone of these Guild members.

He killed or kicked aside any dog that came his way without even trying. He wasn't interested in weaklings, what he wanted now was the Guild member in front of him who had just sunk his dagger into the chest of an Advocate.

His rage had finally overflown and before the Guild member could even react, the metal pipe had cracked open his skull and he dropped down lifeless.

Ezekiel had immediately arrived and was already attending the daggered lady.

Charles could already see that the man was approaching his limits, he had been healing wounded Advocates even before he arrived and hadn't stopped for a second.

He continued his walk towards his next victim but before he could even reach, the man's neck had snapped on its own and he turned to see King behind him, Monica by his side.

"Wilson's safe, he's with the siblings" King announced to Charles. He could already feel the fear and rage that emnated from the man and it he acted out of those two factors, then he was going to overwork himself and when he did, he would become mentally unstable and that was the last thing they needed at the moment. They needed all the manpower they could get. Tthe dogs weren't falling in number, it seemed like everyone they killed got reanimated and continued it's assault and their summoner was yet to be found.

"Find whoever is creating these creatures, Monica and I will handle everything here King ordered while assuring him of their victory.

Charles nodded in compliance before running off towards where the number of the creatures was plentiful. His heart had stopped beating faster than usual and he was calm a little bit now, his brother was safe and all that was left to do was put whoever was creating these creatures in their place.

Justin nursed his sister whoms head wouldn't stop hurting. She had constantly been screaming and holding in her head and even though her actions were bad for people that were supposed to be in hiding, he didn't care, he didn't know what was happening to her and after some moments of her screaming and hair pulling, she had finally passed out. The pain had become unbearable for her and her body had shut itself down.

He sat beside her, his hand on her head, stroking it gently while he hummed a tune to himself just to kill the boredom. They had been sitting here for about thirty minutes and were doing nothing. The door of the room had finally creaked open and Justin was already on his feet making slow advances towards the chair beside him. He wasn't sure of what was happening but from everyone's reaction, it seemed they were under attack. He finally reached the furniture and positioned himself ready to swing the chair at any imposter who stepped into the room.

Wilson walked in only avoiding a chair from crashing down on him by a hair.

"What are you doing?" He questioned the man who had just attempted to kill him.

"Self defense" Justin answered finally dropping down the chair where he had gotten it

Wilson raced towards the unconscious Ashley, King had already told him about what might be happening to her and if by any chance she was still awake and in pain, then he was to use his illusion and calm her down, but it seemed like her body had already given in to the stress that accompanied awakening ones powers newly.

"Do you feel any different?" Wilson asked Justin who wasted a minute trying to figure out if he felt weird in any manner but didn't find any.

"Nope" He replied after his body assessment before leaning down to help Wilson pick up his sister but the moment he leaned down, a dagger came flying past his head and into the wall, they had just been found and he could already tell that it wasn't an Advocate who found them.
