Chapter 11 - Fight back

The situation is bad and it will only get get worse, they need to get out of here and fast, those clans and families won't just sit and watch them destroy their city. These are the thoughts running through Enya's mind, she needs to leave here alive with Astro or whoever that person is. 

Unfortunately it seems this guy doesn't understand their situation because it looks like he plans to fight to the death, murder is the only thing on his mind. 

Enya's mind was moving at high speed, trying to find a solution for their current predicament, if she could cause a big enough distraction, she can take Astro and get out of here and with her speed they will never catch her. While all these thoughts run through her head, she feels something happening.

A large amount of mana is being gathered by the enemy mages, they seem to be preparing a group technique as they are in a circular formation with the leader in the middle, the mana is moving on the ground through an intricate, green magical circle.

A small green sphere appeared in front of the leader and it expanded to the size of a yoga ball, he was ready to unleash it. 

Seeing this anti Astro felt some danger from the sphere, he quickly turned to his side asking Enya to give him her sword. 

"No, this is an enchanted item and only I can use it's true power, but I do have another one you can use". She said as she pulled a sword from the pouch on her side.

'…'

Astro was surprised, she has a space item, those are so incredibly rare, especially since the methods for creating them has long been lost, only a few can be found in existence and most of them are in the hands of powerful beings. Ignoring this as he has a more urgent matter on his hands. Grabbing the meter tall sword with a beautiful full black body, both blade and hilt are completely black.

As the enemy mages unleashed their attack, the green sphere traveled fast, sending strong winds towards those around, ruffling their clothes and hair, Astro's hood fell of revealing his black and white hair and his completely onyx eyes.

Grasping the sword, he charged up mana, a black magic circle appeared covering the blade in black flames, standing in a stance, holding the sword close to his chest diagonally, he waited and as the attack reached him, he made his moved, quickly pulling the sword back, then with a fast horizontal slash, the cut it in half, completely destroying it, but he was not finished as a wide slash of black flames made it's way to the enemy mages, who scrambled to put up a barrier for protection.

The barrier only lasted three seconds before it was blasted to nothing but mana particles, and the black flame slash connected with the enemy mages, cutting them apart while burning their bodies to nothing but ash scattering in the wind, and only silence remained.

The mages are dead and the status of the worriers is unknown, this was a perfect chance to escape but Enya saw anti Astro moving towards the worriers, he simply stabbed one in the chest with his flame covered blade, burning his body as he moved to the other one, who has regained consciousness as he was about to stab her too, yes her, turns out the other worrier is a women.

"Please wait! I beg you, spare my life, I have a son, he's only six, I'm the only one he has". The women hurriedly shouted with tears in her eyes, not because she was afraid of death but because she didn't want to leave her son alone in his cruel world.

"Well we have no one, but our life matters and you tried to kill us, so die!" Astro retorted back and raised his sword ready to end her.

"Astro stop!" Enya came from the side trying to stop him, she wasn't a good person but she didn't like the act of killing those who already surrendered and the defenceless.

"There's no need to kill her".

"Why should I let her live?"

"I know a secret path, you can use to escape".
