[Third Person POV]
Akio and his squad had to fight the villians to escape.Akio was holding a medieval knight sword.
The sword was white in color and the handle was brown. It was a D-rank sword.
Beside him was Ciel. She also used a medieval knight sword. Her sword was blue in color. Her sword started to become even more blue after she embuded her sword with mana.
Akio had the talent,
He had already reached C- rank at such a young age. Being the youngest son of the Canmore family and the younger brother of the hero who killed the demon king, he had a lot of pressure to be the best and he always was the best.
Ciel had the talent,
Emily was holding a rapier. Anna and Alice were at the back. Alice used a bow.
Akio, Ciel and Emily were the damage dealers. Anna and Alice were the supporters.
Two of the villians infront of them were holding a sword while the one in the middle had a staff in his hand.
Akio gathered mana around his leg. He looked at this members and said " Lets win this one and escape."
The others nodded.
Akio launched himself from the ground
"Boom!"
Akio thrusted his sword towards the villian holding the staff. He wanted to defeat the villian as soon as possible.
The mage would be the most troublesome.
Ciel and Emily also followed Akio. They were much slower than Akio . Ciel casted"
Anna casted a buff mgic spell on Emily. Emily pointed her rapier at one of the villians. She shouted
"
Soon thousand of neddles formed and moved towards the villian.
Alice fired two arrows. Each arrow was aimed at the villians holding a sword. The arrows were embuded with explosion magic. Even if they blocked the arrow, the arrow would explode right in their face.
Their attack was perfect. It had no gap. Each movement and attack was perfectly timed.
However, all of them forgot one thing. They were facing B-rank villians. Most of their attack were of D-rank. No matter how much good a startegy you crate, it does not matter infront of absolute power.
One of the villians casted a fire magic and the ice on his feet melted. He then rushed towards Ciel.
Akio was shocked.
"Why is he not protecting the mage?"
Akio thought to himself.
It was a common tactic to protect the mage.
"Don't think too much." Akio said to himself. He thrusted the sword towards the mage stomach but the mage used the staff he was holding to parry the attack.
"Clank!"
The mage then spoke " You kids think this would work."
The staff started to glow then it exploded
"Boom!"
Akio was sent flying. He crashed into a car .
"Thwack!"
"Uhh!" Akio groaned in pain.
Anna and Alice wanted to help him but doing so would leave Ciel and Emily in trouble.
Ciel looked back. Seeing her friend hurt made her angry.
She looked infront and one of the villian was already infront of her. He swung his sword towards Ciel head.Ciel dodged the attack and went around his back.
She swung her sword towards his leg.The sword hit his leg but it only caused a slight cut.
The villian turned around and again swing his sword towards Ciel's head. Ciel ducked gain but this time the villian quicly hit her with his leg. He hit her right torso.
"Bam!"
Ciel was also sent flying. She knew she couldn't dodge the kick so, she used mana to lessen the damage but still her felt a lot more pain.
"Cough! Cough!"Ciel started to cough blood.The kick must have hurt her internal organs.
Emily on the other hand was barely holding on. The villian had dodged her needle attack.
She was thrusting towards every part of his body but none of the attack reached him.
"Is that all you got?" The villian asked and sneered at her.
Emily lost her composure. She was already tired and seeing the villian taunt her made her angry.
She rushed and thrusted her rapier at the villians neck. The villian dodged the attack. He then threw a punch at Emily's face.
Emily tried to jump back but she couldn't. She looked at her feet and they were laready trapped by the mud.
Emily looked at her side and saw both Ciel and Akio down. She was so absorbed in her fight that she was not aware of her surrounding.
The mage had casted a earth spell and trapped her feet on the ground. The villians punch landed tight at her face. Emily was thrashed to the ground.
"Bam!"
She hit her head on the ground so hard that she fainted.
The villian laughed" Hahaha! Where is your conifdence now?" He again threw a punch right at her face.
This time Akio blocked the attack. Akio swung the sword in a horizontal direction.
The villian coudn't withdraw his hand fast. The sword cut his wrist off.
"Arghh" The villian screamed. Akio fell to his knees. He was still suffering from the attack he had been hit with.
The mage used mana to heal the villian. The villian rushed towards Akio for the kill. This time Alice shot three arrows at the villian but the mage easily blocked it.
Anna also used a wind spell to push the villian away. The villian cut of the spell instantly and swung his sword at Akio's head.
Before the sword reached the villian, his sword froze in mid air. Ciel used her magic to stop the sword from reaching Akio. She then went for the kill.
She took a stance and launched herself at the villain. The other villian blocked her attack. He then grabbed her sword and flinged her at a car.
"Didn't need your help." The villian said while looking at his friend.
"Just kill that guy already."
Alice and Anna used everything in their arsenal to fight back but the mage simply was too strong.
The mage gathered mana around Alice and Anna and within few seconds she used telekenesis and pushed them back.
The force was enough to break their rib cages.
"Bang!" Both of them hit a wall. They couldn't even stand.
The villian got his one hand out of the ice. He grabbed Akio's head and said " You will pay for what you did to my hand. I wonder how the president will react after I kill his son?"
The villian was going to stab Akio in the heart.
Alice was screaming" Let him go."She was trying to move but her body was not listening to her.
Ciel couldn't even speak.Her rib cage had collapsed. She couldn't even move properly
Anna was crying. She felt useless. She could only watch her friends get beaten.
Emily was still unconsious. All of them were miserable. They were in total despair.
The villian sword was inches away from Akio's chest. Suddenly he heard a scream from behind.
"Arghhh!"
Both of the villians looked back. They saw a hand passed right through their friends chest.
Blood was all over the floor.Slowly the hand was removed from the chest. The mage body fell down.
The man behind the body was Ryujin.
Ciel,Akio, Anna and Alice were shocked. Ryujin had easily killed a person that they had tried so hard to defeat.
Ryujin slowly walked towards the villians. Both of villians turned their weapon at Ryujin.
One of the villian spoke " Its the kid with the
"Sh*t, we might die."
