Soon, the members of the house of weakness started to unleash power worthy of tier 3s. Those with affinities unleashed them without restraint and the werewolves their claws to rip through the beast with beast like savagery. Multiple explosions and screams of pain sounded out as beasts were burned, frozen, shredded, electrocuted and ripped apart by the the demons. Leia in particular seemed to be doing well, as she used her [Space Affinity] to send out slashes invisible to the naked eye but visible through [Aura Vision] through space. The slashes cut into the beasts, bisecting some and left deep, fatal wounds in the rest. Patrick was doing well too, using his icy flames to freeze and then slashing them apart with his claws. Contrastly, Melissa was doing terribly, she wasn't as physically strong as most other subspecies and her [Plant Affinity] wasn't very effective with not many plants around, causing her to get injured. Strangely enough, no matter how injured she gets, she didn't stop attacking the beasts.
[Melissa, you need to lead them towards the forest, you'd have a better advantage there.] Colin tried to advise when he noticed the situation.
[KIIILLL!!!] Melissa growled back and Colin raised an eyebrow, noticing that something was wrong.
"Something is wrong, I'm going down there." Colin said and flew towards Melissa, he created a ring of flames around her, seperating her from the beasts. As he entered the city, he felt a pressure weigh down on his mind and his mind was filled with an unparalleled bloodlust. But, the pressure was soon replaced by a dull ache in his chest, as he felt his unique trait being slowly roused awake.
'Crap, no wonder they ar fighting so ferociously. I should find the source as quickly as possible.' Colin thought and grabbed Melissa, as she struggled fiercely in his grasp. He flew towards the forest, and a entourage of beasts followed after them, once they were out of the city, the pressure disappeared and Melissa regained clarity of mind. Soon, they entered the forest and so did the beasts.
"What's going on?!" Melissa panicked as she didn't understand why or how she was flying through the air.
"It seems you have regained clarity, there seems to be something....or someone using some kind of ability to mess with everyone's mind, turning them beserk. It seems to encompass the entire city, so as long as you stay in the forest you should be fine." Colin explained to her
"But, what about the others?" Melissa asked
"Don't worry about them, I'll take care of it. Besides, you have more important things to think about, like yourself." Colin said and dropped her onto the ground. She rolled across the ground before coming to a stop, as she gathered herself, she heard the roars of beast and the sound of hooves and paws hitting the ground.
"Fucking Bastard." Melissa cursed before using [One With Nature] to hide herself within the forest, preparing for the battle to come.
**********************************************
Meanwhile, Colin flew back into the city and was once again afflicted by the mental pressure. He could see that the situation was escalating, more and more of his subordinates were being injured as they fought furiously against the beasts and they were also running out of demonic energy as well.
[Lily, Alice, I'm gonna need both your helps. The city is being affected by some kind of ability, making everyone beserk. Lily, I'm gonna need your help taking out whatever is causing it. Alice, I need you to make sure no one dies.] Colin said
[Fine.] Lily replied
[I'll do my best.] Alice said
Both of them flew into the city, and instantly they could feel the effect of whatever ability was afflicting the city. Lily was easily able to shrug it off, it's only effect on her was annoying her. Alice on the other hand, was struggling to remain in control as she bared her fangs and snarled.
"Calm down, stop trying to fight the control, use the bloodlust as a weapon and only try to keep control to fight properly. You are not strong enough to resist this level of mind manipulation." Lily advised Alice and she took a deep breath, before plunging into the horde.
"Is she going to be alright?" Colin asked Lily
"She should be, as long as we can kill whatever is causing this mess." Lily said
