Kai, Lyon and the magic knights watched as the rogue mages disappeared into the darkness and vanished without a trace.
"Those bastards escaped!" Kai said with a slight angry voice.
"Yes, but that's not important now." Solid shifted his gaze to unconscious Leon on the ground and frowned upon seeing his state.
"Rebecca! Heal Leon!" Solid voiced out.
The young woman with long auburn brown hair, blue eyes and a voluptuous build known as Rebecca rushed towards Leon and started to use her magic.
"Who on earth could put a man of Leon's caliber into his sorry state?" She thought as she continued healing the motionless Leon.
"This is the most I can do with my magic, we need to take him to the hospital where a high level medic can treat him or else he will die." Rebecca explained Leon's condition to the others.
"Wait, why didn't he heal himself with his phoenix fire magic?" The brown skinned young woman asked with a confused look.
"If he could, don't you think that he would have already done so?" Solid replied to her question.
"Are you saying that the enemy has found a way to negate the healing effects of the Phoenix fire magic?" Lyon voiced out in shock.
"That might be the case." Solid said with a frown. The fact that Leon was targeted must mean that the enemy already had a plan to deal with him.
Solid then turned to leave and said, "We need to strengthen our defenses, who knows if they aren't more enemies."
"Captain Solid is right, our communication magic is being interfered with!! Therefore we can't call for backup from outside the city. Don't let your guard down!!" As a magic knight said so, they started to move further into the city while one of them took Leon to the hospital.
----
Somewhere in the wilderness, 7 individuals were walking towards to what looked like an abandoned castle.
These are the rogue mages who call themselves the Devil Eye and the abandon castle is obviously their hideout. After escaping from silver city, they are planning on resting and continue with their goal.
"Isaac, because you didn't follow the plan, you put us in a really bad spot. Don't be so thick headed just because the boss likes you" One of them voiced out.
"Not only were you almost caught, you were also beaten to a pulp. I mean, look at your face. Pffff." He held in his urge to laugh upon looking at Isaac's swollen face. The bastard that beat him up really did a great job.
"What are you laughing at, you bastard!!" Isaac voiced out in anger but that only caused the others to burst out in laugher.
"But Clementine was beaten, and is still trying to get away from Silver city." One of them with a female voice spoke out.
"We got what we wanted so stop whining about that old hag!" Isaac said
Then they finally reached the entrance of their hideout and descended inside. Upon entering, the inside was dark but the light from outside made it easier for them to see.
But when they gaze shifted forward, they were shocked beyond their core.
"Sup, I was dying of boredom waiting for you guys." A beautiful mature woman in her mid 30s with long black, matching eyes and a voluptuous figure spoke out nonchalantly.
Who's this bitch? How did she find us? Did she just say she was waiting for them and why couldn't they sense her magic power?. These were the questions the rogue mages were thinking while staring at the beauty before them.
But in any case, what they had to do, did not change.
"KILL HER!!" One of them screamed but without warning, she instantly appeared both two mages and shot black spheres towards the mages.
"..."
One would expect for there to be sound when a spell slams into someone but this wasn't the case. As the black spheres slammed into the two mages, there was no sound, they just simply vanished without a trace as if they were being erased from existence.
"What the?" The remaining mages voiced out in shock. They didn't see her move and their subordinates just disappeared without warning.
"I killed them." The woman said and continued, "Given the number of you lots, I will be troublesome for me. To capture all of you alive, of course." She said with a calm look, not bothered that she just killed two people.
"Tsk, this bitch." One of the mages on the side said as he conjured a hand made of vines before launching it towards the woman.
But the woman didn't even looked at him and extended her left hand to the side and shot a black spheres towards the mage.
The sphere penetrated through the hand and hit the mage causing him to turn to dust.
"What? NO WAAAAAYY!!" Isaac screamed upon witnessing the scene before him.
"Oh come on now, you lots attacked our kingdom first. Wait, don't tell me you thought that your actions didn't have consequences?" She said so with a cold voice.
"What crazy power and it doesn't look like she's breaking a sweat." Miguel thought as he stared at the unknown woman before him.
"That being said, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. The choice is yours." the woman said nonchalantly.
"Get her!!" One of them screamed and they began to launch spells towards the woman.
"The hard way it is." The woman sighed and dodged their attacks by moving left to right at light speed.
"What kind of movement is that? I can't follow her with my eyes." One of the mages thought as he kept launching spells.
"Let's try this." The woman manifest a sphere and shot it forward. Instead of the mages getting erased upon impact, they got trapped in a large black bubble.
"What the hell is this." Isaac thought as he tried to move his body but failed to do so.
"I can't mo..ve.." Miguel thought as he tried to move. The other mages couldn't move as they got trapped inside the black bubble as well.
"They are way weaker than I thought. Well, enjoy the feeling of existing and not existing at the same time." She stated with a smirk.
Then she turned her right and stared at the dark corner before saying, "Aren't you tried of hiding, 1st division captain!"
Upon saying so, a man wearing a white robe stepped out from the shadows.
