In the aftermath of the mansion's explosive demise, the remaining Swordsman 3, 4, and 5 instinctively harnessed their auras as a protective shield. The guards stationed outside, caught in the swirling dust, coughed and staggered, their expressions a mix of confusion and surprise at the unexpected devastation.
"Form a circle around intruder!" Responding to the chaos, Swordsman 3, 4, and 5 barked orders simultaneously, their voices cutting through the lingering echoes of destruction. They commanded, urgency evident in their tone.
As the dust began to settle, those outside the mansion quickly organized themselves, assuming defensive positions around Kurayami. Archers drew their bows, mages gripped their wands, and swordsman brandished their blades. The tension in the air was palpable, as the assembled forces prepared to launch a coordinated assault under the orders of Swordsman 3, 4, and 5.
