Victor hardened his body; with this process, his body became heavier and soon sank to the ground by the river. He walked his way forward with slow but safe steps.
Cedric mutated his body and became a hydro snake, a monster known for living in the ocean. He swam through the water as if he were born in it. Vlad, Meng, Amon, and the Royal Guard, however, had a way harder time. They used spells, skills, and blessings nonstop in order to not die.
They did this for 20 minutes; they were nearly out of stamina, and they used spells, skills, and blessings. Without a single break, they did not think anymore about where to go; they only thought about moving forward and doing nothing but swim, walk, and survive.
They fought themselves through this torture until Amon gave them the sign to arrive. They wasted no time jumping out of the river, looking in a direction, showing a little impulsiveness, and grabbing two hooks. Slammed themselves into a wall.
The hook held them to the wall, and right now, in this moment, they were under the Santalia Bridge, and as they arose from the river, Group A departed too. Amon managed to still hold onto his voice shell even while swimming through this deadly river. All of this was far more challenging than he originally thought, but, to his luck, everything went fine.
Nobody died in this situation, and he still had his voice shell that was connected to all the people who were not in Group B.
Now their only job was to stay silent and wait for Group A to draw as much attention to them as possible.
Group A had already departed earlier than expected; they moved towards the castle town harbor. However, they could not move like Group B did. They used another item that Personia created.
It was an item that made them invisible and hid them in their present; with the item, it was as if their existence was erased from this world. They moved in a gourd with a few hundred soldiers and were still unseen by everyone.
For this item, Personia worked day and night. Right now, she has a complete lack of sleep, but she does not care about that at all. She was here, and that counted; she would defend this guild even if she had to do it alone.
The army marched its way through the land. They moved as fast as possible, wasting no time. The coats of arms walked in front with their guild uniform on, and now everybody understood why they were called coats of arms.
On the back of their uniforms, they had a coat of arms that marked them. Roxanne had an eye where thorns grew out. Dorothea had a huge fist, Arthur had a book, Isabelle had a drop, Niles had an arrow, Björn had a hammer, and Jeanne had a gold bar on her back.
Vlad had a skull, Cedric had a mix of a few monsters, Meng had a tooth, Personia had a test tube, and Leon had a crystal. They were not here right now, but the other coats of arms were, and as they saw these crests on the backs of the magicans who walked in front of them,
Their brains remembered that they saw them once in these uniforms. The uniforms were colored in a perfect mix of black and white. With the crest they choose for themselves.
And after a long walk, they could see the castle walls of Harbor.
In Group A, there were seven coats of arms. They gave a sign to split up into three smaller groups.
Roxanne, Arthur, and Niles attacked at first.
Roxanne positioned her arm in front of her face and made a fist. As she opened her fist, a seed fell out. The seed fell to the ground and grew at high speed.
Its roots made their way to the castle walls and broke off a huge piece of it.
"Charge!" Roxanne shouted, and anybody sprinted forward right into battle.
Soldiers that stood on the castle walls positioned themselves and shot fireballs, ice spears, arrows, and anything else they had.
In Arthur's hand appeared a book, and as he opened the book, the book absorbed all of his attacks.
"Thank you; this is good writing material."
Three of his thought letters wrote items in a perfect calligraphed style that got painted in the book. As he was done, Arthur ripped the page out of the book.
Three enormous fireballs levitated in midair and shot a mighty fire beam out of them. The small suns that radiated with power in the sky shot these beams towards the front of the castle walls. Where soldiers tried to get out.
They were burned to death in seconds.
Arthur's blessing writer allowed him to manifest whatever he wrote into his book once.
As they thought they knew the direction of the attackers, the second group, led by Dorothea, attacked them from another side.
She was gigantic now; her head was higher than the castle walls.
Dorothea threw herself with her shoulder against the castle walls and made them collapse at her point.
Their soldiers rushed inside and killed every single soldier they saw.
Niles shot arrows faster than he ever did in his whole life. Supporting Dorothea, she walked inside the castle town and stomped on everything she saw.
The sounds of crushing bones and bodies were everywhere she went.
And as the final touch, Björn attacked another side of the castle walls and destroyed it with a mighty blow of his stone hammer.
Jeanne created melted gold and flooded the town with it. The golden wave was so hot that everybody's skin burned when they came close to it.
Isabella, however, had a far more cruel fate planned for them.
She poisoned them; the poison spread through their bodies, and she felt like an assassin that went three ways through their bodies.
In a matter of a few minutes, Group A had broken down the castle walls and was now inside the town.
Soldiers came from all sides, trying to backstab them. However, Roxanne created huge plants that pierced right through their hearts.
Dorothea proceeded to crush everything she saw under her feet. She kicked buildings and made them collapse, crushing the streets.
Niles already has a high place for himself to snipe down anything that could become a danger for his people.
They worked their way through the town at high speed, and they made one single rule: they killed everything that attacked them.
They cut throats, crushed, and destroyed everything. Nothing was saved for them. This time, they were pure evil.
They wasted no time and destroyed everything they saw, and soon they passed through the entire town and came out on the other side of the castle town.
Roxanne screamed with all her might, "We arrived at the Boody Mountains!"
