Levi watched as Aiden and Callie disappeared into the distance. He couldn't help but feel a sense of relief that they had made it out of the ruins safely. Turning back to the bandits, Levi raised his hands again, ready to face them.
The bandits, who had managed to break free from the ice, began to jeer and mock Levi. One of them stepped forward, brandishing a rusty sword. "What are you going to do now, little mage?" he taunted. "You think you can take us all on by yourself?"
Levi only stood there silently, despite the bandits' mocking. His mask hid his expression, but his eyes shone with a fierce determination. He knew he had to face these bandits alone, but he was more than ready for the challenge.
As the bandits continued to mock him, Levi suddenly burst out laughing. It was a deep, hearty laugh that seemed to come from his very core.
