"Hey, you!" Liam barked, his voice cutting through the chaos as he pointed sharply at the stunned guard. "Get Elena to the Avanclare estate immediately! Once you're there, find Mystica and tell her that Grandeur City is under attack by demons stronger than Advanced Horrors."
The guard blinked, still processing the command. Before he could respond, Elena grabbed Liam's arm, her voice trembling. "What about you? Don't tell me you're planning to hold them off alone?"
Liam's gaze remained cold, unyielding. "This isn't up for debate. If we all move together, they'll cut through us like paper. If you stay, more will die. So go. Now."
The ground trembled violently as another blood spike erupted behind them, tearing through a nearby building. The structure groaned under the pressure before collapsing in a deafening crash, rubble and dust exploding outward like a tidal wave.
"LEAVE!" Liam roared, his voice echoing with unrelenting authority.
