Two men, members of the Sun Sect, were sipping sake on the ground floor. All the while they were in conversation, their faces smiling. "State alchemists have been trapped a lot lately." The man next to him left this remark unanswered, not even moving his lips. He continued to sip his sake. "At this rate, we're going to take full control and-" Before the man could continue, the door was shattered by a rapidly growing stalagmite of earth that tore them both to pieces. Xavier continued on his way, his footsteps quick, removing the obstacles in this way. His expression was frozen. But since Xavier preferred stealth, there was a great deal of noise. The armed men inside moved towards the source of the noise. Thanks to Earth Alchemy, Xavier was prepared for everything since he could feel all the vibrations. The members of the Order, who were moving fast towards the entrance, were being torn apart by the earthen stalagmites flying out of sight from the walls and were being brutally slaughtered by the earthen walls that suddenly slipped and crushed them with great force. Xavier continued down a simple corridor that led to only one place, without stopping, until he came to a huge door with the same symbol on it, which was much closer to the golden yellow color than the others. He used his right hand to force the door open from the center. As the door opened, he was greeted by a strong light, and in response to this light, he squinted his eyes slightly, his brow furrowing. Gradually his eyes widened slightly as his vision returned. Three people had entered Xavier's field of vision, three people sitting in separate golden yellow armchairs. The seats were on a yellow pillar, and to reach them one had to climb five wide, high stairs. In front of the seats was the judge's desk, the same color as the seats, equal in length to the entire length of the column. All three had their eyes on the intruder who had entered the room. Xavier's dull expression had finally changed, a wry smile appeared on his face, but because of his mask, the others would not be aware of it.
"This isn't home base, am I right? I know you're not such a weak and simple cult. The people who killed my father can't be that weak."
The person sitting at the left seat nodded in agreement.
"I'm surprised you found this place. And you are right. The Order of the Sun is all over the place and has bases in bits and pieces. So we can't be dispatched by a single raid." he said, his tone reassuring.
Then the trio stood up, supporting themselves with their hands on the arms of the couch, and threw off their cult cloaks in one fell swoop. According to Xavier, the Order of the Sun was organized in scattered bases with many pawns and a few ranking members. This, of course, would make Xavier's job very difficult. How long would it take him to find and destroy every single base? Xavier had taken on a much bigger task than he had imagined. While Xavier's mind was preoccupied with his thoughts, the faces of the three people in front of him came to light. The one on the left was a woman, probably in her thirties, with wavy purple hair, her right cheek split from her lip to her shoulders. Xavier, unfortunately, could not get any information as he was not paying attention to her body. The one in the middle had black hair, long and in a bun, a man, probably in his early twenties, with a vertical claw mark above and below his right eye, complementing each other. The facial features of the one on the right were close to or equal to his own, and he did not have a single hair on his head. He had the most serious expression on his face, but the pecking order was easily recognizable from the difference in seat sizes and patterns. The largest and most spectacular seat was in the center. 'President of the Western Bloc Sun Order, Chem Leomord' was engraved in elegant font on the front of the table. On the front of the table on the side of the woman's chair was simply 'Chem Eve' and in front of the young man's table with the shaved head was 'Chem Theo'. Xavier wiped the smile off his face and maintained his frown, keeping his eyes on Leomord in particular.
"It doesn't matter how many of you there are. I will root you out."
Theo clenched his teeth together and frowned at Xavier's words. He descended the stairs one by one to reach Xavier's level, each step echoing through the room. "You'll regret it." He was not one to be disrespected. He was about 10 meters away from Xavier, he swung his right arm horizontally to the left side once, at chest level. Several air slashes began to advance towards Xavier, who threw his body to the left side, dodging the slashes. These uncontrollable cuts crashed into the door opposite Theo, causing a huge gash. Xavier's eyes, which had been examining the gash caused by several cuts, were wide open at Theo's power. Without giving Xavier time to react, Eve threw her body at Xavier and lifted her right leg straight up to deliver a powerful, swift kick to Xavier's jaw from below. Xavier formed an earthen pillar to protect himself, but Eve's kick was unhindered, shattering the pillar with no difficulty and reaching its target, sending Xavier flying backward. With the bottom of his mask cracked, Xavier was offered no time for anything. Theo extended his right arm straight out at Xavier, his hand clawing, his Alchemy creating a wall of pressure out of thin air. As this wall of pressure, directed at Xavier, was speeding along with Xavier, at the last moment Xavier had created a hole in the wall in the exact shape of himself, where he would collide with Earth Alchemy. Instead of being crushed between the two walls, he fit perfectly into the cavity and landed back on the ground. Xavier's breathing had quickened, he was breathing fast and he had no control over it. Theo and Eve's perfect match, if broken, would turn the fight in Xavier's favor; if continued, it would ensure Xavier's absolute defeat. Eve covered all but the index and thumb of her right hand, her index finger extended forward, and her thumb held upright. She pointed the index finger of her right hand at the center of Xavier's chest, closing her right eye and placing a slight smile on her face.
"Bang."
Eve triggered Water Alchemy from the tip of her index finger, sending out a fresh spray of silky water. Xavier dodged this attack by throwing himself to the left, then struck the ground forcefully with his right foot, triggering Earth Alchemy to unleash an earthen stalagmite attack towards Eve that gradually extended from the ground, shattering the ground. Theo, standing to Eve's left, with a simple wave of wind, shattered the earthen stalagmites before they could reach Eve. Eve wasted no time in running towards Xavier as the stalagmites shattered, sending a bullet with Water Alchemy into the same place again. Xavier darted to the left, much later this time because Eve was closer to him than before, but Xavier almost locked eyes with Theo, who was running to Eve's right. Theo deflected Eve's bullet with a gust of wind, causing it to shatter the skin of her right ankle. Xavier gritted his teeth as the bullet reached him, trying hard not to scream. In addition, Xavier's right body would tilt to the right with the impact of the bullet. Xavier had no time to think. But there was no way he could win this battle.
Taking advantage of Xavier's situation, Eve restored his right eye and started to run straight ahead, while Xavier protected himself with pillars on all four sides and threw stalagmites from the surfaces of the pillars towards Theo and Eve. Theo was unable to block them all due to their intensity, and they dodged them by using their speed and flexibility and moving backward. The distance between Theo, Eve, and Xavier was restored, while Xavier created a hole in the center of the pillar in front of him and placed his eyes on his opponents.
Leomord watched the battle, completely immobilized. He hadn't even descended the stairs, he was in front of his chair, his hands clasped behind his back. He had a simple smile on his face as he squinted at Xavier, a simple man to him. Eve pulled the hilt of her sword from the scabbard hanging on the left side of her waist, gripping it tightly with her right hand. Her sword was full of talismans.
"You will die here, young man," Eve said.
Xavier straightened up, his brow furrowed, his face grim, and the pillars around him disappeared, as if in defiance. Taking advantage of this, Theo clasped both hands together and began to create a tornado in the center. The wind spun rapidly, pulling Xavier to the center with great force. Although Xavier tried to resist at first, he surrendered to Theo's powerful alchemy and chose to use his energy differently. As Xavier was being pulled to the center, Eve stabbed her sword into the ground. A powerful waterfall of water began to flow from the surface of the sword towards the hurricane. The water caught in the tornado merged with the wind and a gigantic water tornado began to form. Xavier was stuck in the center and could not move freely because of the wind. When the circle closed, he knew he would die from the pressure of the water. With his eyes tightly closed, he swallowed once.
"Forgive me, sir, I must break my oath or... I will die."
Xavier opened his eyes, locked them on the floor and, in a split second, leaned down and placed the palm of his left hand on the floor. He triggered his Electric Alchemy, emitting electricity. The forked lightning bolts caught in the water and followed it relentlessly, striking Eve with very high voltage. Eve's body was knocked to the ground by the thousands of volts of electricity she was exposed to. When Theo saw Eve collapsed, his eyes widened, his body felt hot and his heart began to pound. Even though the whirlwind he had created had dissipated because of this, he was unable to perceive anything but Eve.
"EVE!" Theo cried out in a shaky, pained voice.
As he was about to move towards Eve, a danger joined his perceptions. Xavier had coated her body with electrical alchemy and accelerated, picking up Eve's stabbed sword with his right hand, slicing Eve in half and stopping her on top of her head. Behind Xavier, Eve's body was spattered with blood, some of which landed on Theo's terrified body. Xavier, his body glowing with electricity, took up a position with the sword clutched tightly in his right hand. His eyes, beneath his furrowed brow, glowed like fire but were obscured by the mask.
"I'm sorry, Deixtre, I broke my promise."
