Outside the estate grounds, chaos reigned.
"Liana!! Don't let them run!!" Javier shouted, excitement brimming as he dashed after a group of fleeing attackers.
Liana, keeping pace effortlessly, sighed, a hint of a smile on her lips. "Young Master, you're far too excited about this. It's not a game."
Javier grinned ear to ear, glancing back at her. "Not a game? Ha! Look at them running like scared rabbits! Oi, mates! Don't run away! We're your friends!" His sarcasm dripped as he loaded a glowing mana crystal into his modified mana gun.
Buddy, his loyal Pekko bird, squawked enthusiastically and charged forward, crushing the head of one fleeing attacker with a bone-shattering stomp.
"Good job, Buddy! Stomp them all! Leave no one alive!" Javier cheered, pointing dramatically at another group.
