The two women continued walking through the sewer tunnel, hoping to find a pipe leading out of the city, as they did, they heard tremors from above and they could sense the energies in the powerful attacks being launched.
"We should go and help them." Alice muttered
"Don't be an idiot, unlike them, we can't hide behind their little barrier, the best we could do is distract them so the Angels can get a clean shot and die in the process." Mina rejected, just then, Mina stopped and looked at the ceiling.
"Get down!!" Mina shouted urgently and pushed Alice out of the way, and just as she did, the ceiling collapsed and large amounts of black mist seeped into the sewers.
"We need to go now." Mina said urgently and Alice agreed
*****************************************
On the surface, everyone was huddled up safely inside the [Holy Territory], launching their most powerful attacks at the Corpse Lord but even so, their faces were pale with terror. Every attack they throw at the Corpse Lord loses it's power as it travels through the black mist or outright disintegrates. The best option they had was to confront Master Foustus head on, but there was no way in hell anyone was going to do that, the buildings outside the city have already showed them the result of such action. Everywhere that the black mist went was soon reduced to piles of dust and then they were reduced to nothing. There were no rubbles, no buildings, nothing was left outside of the [Holy Territory] and everyone feared that it would be next.
"Fools, you should have chosen to become one of my slaves but now, you have angered me and I'll reduce you to nothing." Master Foustus said calmly while floating in the sky and gathered the black mist in his hand, turning it into a dense ball. He threw it towards the [Holy Territory] with frightening strength, causing the barrier to crack and some of mist to leak inside when the ball exploded and everyone immediately backed away in fear.
"Synthia, Castiel." Mr. Ziek said and the two young Angels looked at him.
"Do you guys still have your [Return Cards]?" Mr. Ziek asked and Castiel nodded his head while Synthia did the same.
"Good, because we might have to use them." Mr. Ziek finished and Synthia was horrified
"We can't, if we leave then all of them will die." Synthia said
"If we don't leave, then we will die with them. Synthia, you and I both know that this is a losing battle, there is nothing we can do." Mr. Ziek said calmly and Synthia held down her head while clenching her fist, as she struggled between logic and her emotions.
********************************************
Back in the sewer, the two of them has reach the farthest reaches of the sewer, yet they have found no pipes or tunnels leading out of the city, but what was even worse was that the entire sewers was filling with black mist, decaying the walls and streets causing even more to seep in.
"We're going to die aren't we." Alice panicked as the mist creeped closer and closer to them, but Mina was still calm.
"By my calculations, we should be at the edge of the city." She mumbled to herself and suddenly her body was surrounded by red energy
"Cover yourself with your demonic energy, it should help to protect you from the mist." Mina said and Alice quickly complied. Mina created a spinning crystal lance above her head and threw it at the streets above, creating a hole instantly.
"We're going up." Mina said before jumping through the hole followed by Alice who simply flew. Just as Mina predicted, they were at the edge of the city and the two of them quickly fled the city, trying to reach the edge of the city.
*Boom*
The ground under their feet suddenly shook and looking back at the city, they could see a wave of reddish yellow flames burn away some of the black mist.
"What was that?" Mina asked
"It's Colin." Alice said emotionally, as tears glistened in her eyes.
