"Rooted Attack" William casted a spell while a magic staff with a green gem on the end shot an area of effect attack to the grounded troops.
Those who got caught in the spell's radius, we stuck to the ground as strong roots wrapped around their legs preventing movement of any sort. Sarah toke this chances to kill off some sitting ducks before her first strike, a lady with black hair and a curvy body clashed with her sword.
Seeing this Sarah dashed backwards to prevent getting atacked but alas a cut appeared on her arms causing some blood to seep out. William then dropped from the air to heal her small injury.
"Mia! What are you doing here?"William shouted while casting a healing spell at Sarah.
"Big brother, you still hold grudges against me?"Mia replied.
"Yeah, you standing with the wrong team!"
Then a flying figure could be seen floating over the area. The figure descended towards the ground and approached Mia. It was none other the leader of True North, Bryan, a man with a slim body but still powerful.
"My oh my, who is the new member, William?" Bryan asked.
Luke's body became stiff as he expect to get attention from an enemy. But he gathered the courage to speak up and saying this in a confident tone.
"Hey dude! Return the man's sister, its kinda rude."
That statement shocked everyone including William himself.
" Oh, what is this, newbie got some courage." Bryan laughed at Luke's statement.
Bryan mocked the two boys even he grabbed Mia's chin and proceeded to kiss her in front of the three. This act made William so mad that he punched a nearby tree multiple times before it fell. Bryan saw William's reaction and continue laughing loudly in which the troops who were released from William's spell also starting laughing.
"You've messed up, buddy!" William shouted while jumped up high in the air.
Luke then starting running into the two but before they could react to his movement Luke already held on to the two. This gave William the que to cast his spell which rooted everyone.
"Rooted Attack!"
Then Sarah followed up with an attack of hers. She swiftly run in the troops direction, cutting all their heads off sparing Mia and Bryan. Then Luke toke initiative and knocked out Bryan into a deep sleep. Then William dropped from the sky and approached Mia who was looking shocked that the attack lasted barely minutes!
"Mia, look, I'm giving you this one chance to join right team or group otherwise I will be forced to kill you." William said with an angry face while looking at Mia's blue eyes.
"I'm sorry brother, I can not do it." Mia responded.
Then William unsheated a dagger preparing to kill her own sister but halted his movement when he saw an arrow coming on his direction. Dodging on the nick of time still it got someone, it was Luke. He fell to his knees then another figure revealed itself and this time it was another member of True North came to help the weakened members but only to see their comrades rooted to the ground.
"Luke!" Sarah shouted while going to see if he was okay but something unexpected happened.
Luke removed the arrow which entered his neck and tossed it away. The large cut on his neck did not even try to remove any blood.
[ Poison from the arrow is nullified ]
[ Your reaction time against ranged attacks is increased to now 2 seconds ]
[ Regenerating skin ]
[ Regeneration complete ]
" You have forget about my stats, have you?" Luke asked Sarah while looking at her with a straight face.
When Luke got up on his feets, the mysterious figure could not be seen together with Mia and their leader, Bryan. This made William facepalm because the other two let the weakened enemies escape but Luke tried to brighten his mood by acknowlegding that they toke over a half built outpost in the forest.

A man with a bulky body wearing blue robes slammed the table wearing he was sitting.
" You what!"
" I escaped the area...."
" Do you know how much time we spent planning to get that spot! I swear Onyx Corp will pay for this! "
" and sir, there was a new member survived one of my arrow to the neck. "
The man in the blue robes looked terrified when he heard this and looked at the assasin straight at his eyes.
" Okay tell the team to ignore Darkwood Forest for now, we need stronger forces!" the man commanded.

"Haha! He's mine for today," Lily celebrated as Eva fell to her knees knowing she lost the bet."
