"What happened here?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Kirt said while glaring at me like I was the one that blew up his friends. I was about to say something when Claire groaned in my hands.
"Does anyone have healing abilities?" I asked and everyone just glared at me.
"Unfortunately no one does, the best thing we can do is bring them back to the mansion. Wait a minute, Alice can you bring all of them to the mansion using your [Shadow Affinity]." Synthia asked with new hope igniting in her eyes, but I was reluctant to help them. I don't mind helping Claire and the other three, maybe not Kirt, but these guys not so much. I'm pretty sure atleast a few of these assholes took a shot at me during the start of the fight, even if I couldn't prove it.
"Fine." In the end I agreed, I don't think souring my relationship with Synthia would be worth it. I took a deep breath and gathered all the shadows I could and made a floating platform.
"Gather all of them and place them on the platform." I said as sweat dripped down my face. This was the first time I used my shadow manipulation to such a degree which made it a bit strenuous on my mind but albeit manageable. The others helped all the injured onto the shadow platform and soon I was flying through the skies with a group of people trailing behind me. Mid flight, I decided to change the platform into an orb to make it safer for them as we flew to the mansion.
'Hmm,what happened here?' I thought when I saw the mansion. The lawn was utterly destroyed with scorch marks everywhere and if I'm not mistaken their was a small hole in the side of the mansion.
'This was definitely Hans and Colin's doing.' I thought, I placed the shadow orb into the the [Holy Territory], as I've heard Colin call it, and as soon as my orb came into contact with the holy energy, my control over the orb disappeared completely causing it to come undone. Thankfully for the priests and saint, I had enough foresight to place them close to the ground but they still groaned in pain.
Completing my task, I decided to investigate a bit and following the scent of blood, I was soon able to find a corpse. I sighed in relief when I realised that the headless corpse didn't belong to Colin, but that posed another question....where's my favourite Demon.
Spreading my [Aura Vision], I tried to find any stray red auras but found none which worried me greatly. Even if Colin received a fatal injury he wouldn't die since our [Regeneration] skill can heal practically any wound and this guy was recently killed judging by how fresh Hans blood was he was killed only recently so I should still be able to sense Colin if he was recovering. This led me to two conclusions, one, Colin was using [Stealth] to hide from us which is unlikely because he wouldn't miss out on an opportunity like this to level up. Second, he was evolving. Colin had told me that when I was evolving he couldn't use [Aura Vision] to sense me even when he was standing beside me so if he was evolving I wouldn't be able to sense him in the slightest.
*Boom*
Unfortunately, I didn't have time to search for him as my attention was demanded elsewhere.
