eαglesnᴏνel
The air inside the dilapidated building was thick with a sense of danger as Velian, his grip firm on the captured woman\'s arm, realized that it was no longer safe to question her there.
He had tons of questions to ask from her, but if by some mistake she die became of his carelessness, Velian knew it would be disastrous.
The decaying walls and creaking floorboards seemed to whisper their warnings to him. He needed to find a more secure location, away from prying eyes.
Velian turned his piercing gaze towards his trusted companions, Daphnia and Kyla, who stood at a distance, watching his every move. Their expressions mirrored his own concern, recognizing the imminent peril.
Ellena and her brother were not allowed to see the torture because they were still not used to it, so Kyla and Daphnia both asked them to remain in the next room until they finish their work.
"We cannot stay here any longer," Velian exclaimed, his voice tense with urgency. "This place is compromised."
Daphnia, her face set with determination, nodded in agreement.
"Velian is right, Kyla. We must move quickly. We don\'t want to risk any unwanted attention or potential reinforcements arriving."
Kyla, her eyes darting between Velian and the captured woman, hesitated for a moment before nodding reluctantly. "I understand. Let\'s find a safer place to continue our interrogation."
With the woman in tow, Velian led the way, his senses attuned to the slightest shifts in the environment. But just as they were about to make their escape, an overwhelming surge of magic energy coursed through the air. The very ground seemed to tremble beneath their feet, and Velian\'s eyes widened with alarm.
"Daphnia! Kyla! Dodge! Something is coming from the right side," Velian\'s voice boomed, filled with a mixture of fear and urgency. He knew the magnitude of the approaching magical force could only mean one thing: a formidable opponent, perhaps even a potential threat to their lives.
Daphnia and Kyla exchanged a quick glance, their expressions mirroring Velian\'s realization. They wasted no time in heeding his command, their instincts guiding them to prioritize their safety above all else. Together, they turned on their heels and sprinted away from the dangerous vicinity, their hearts pounding with adrenaline.
As they ran, the wind whispered past them, carrying the echoes of distant spells and the muffled sounds of an imminent clash.
*Boom
Suddenly the place, they were staying got erased as it didnt even exist in the first place freaking out both girls. If not for Velian\'s warning, they would have already vanished into nothingness.
Velian\'s mind raced with questions, his thoughts entwined with worry for their unknown pursuer and the enigmatic woman they had captured.
In the chaos of their retreat, one thing was clear: their journey had taken an unexpected turn, plunging them into a web of mysteries and dangers they had yet to fully comprehend.
"Where is it attacking from?" Daphnia tried to see the enemy, so she can put up a defence but before she could perk through the window another magical signal came in their direction.
As Daphnia strained her eyes, desperately searching for the source of the impending danger, she felt a shiver crawl down her spine. The first magical signal had been disconcerting, but now, with a second surge heading their way, her instincts screamed at her to act swiftly.
With lightning reflexes, Daphnia grabbed Kyla\'s hand, their fingers intertwining tightly. The bond between the two girls forged through countless battles, strengthened their resolve in the face of uncertainty. Together, they swiftly moved away from the window, narrowly evading the incoming magical assault.
The attacks persisted, striking the abandoned building with precise accuracy. Each hit shook the decaying structure, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The sniper remained elusive, their location concealed, and their intentions obscured.
Meanwhile, Velian, a determination etched into his features, made a swift decision. He knew that leaving the captured woman with Kyla was the best course of action, ensuring her safety while he sought to unravel this deadly game of cat and mouse.
"Kyla, protect her, but if you need you can use her as a shield, don\'t worry if the need arises, just kill her!" Velian\'s voice resounded with unwavering conviction as he entrusted his companion with the captive\'s well-being.
His eyes met Kyla\'s, a silent understanding passing between them. Without hesitation, Kyla nodded, acknowledging the weight of the responsibility placed upon her shoulders.
Drawing his sword, Velian sprang into action, his instincts guiding him towards the origin of the deadly attacks. With each step he took, he braved the onslaught, deflecting the relentless magical assaults with masterful skill.
"You might be able to sneak attack, but right now, I know you\'re attacking me so it won\'t work anynore," Velian shouted deflecting another magic attack from the sniper.
His resolve was unyielding, his determination fueled by the protection of his comrades and the pursuit of the unknown woman.
As Velian darted through the shadows, he sensed a presence, a flicker of movement in the corner of his eye. Swift as a hunting predator, he lunged towards the figure concealed amidst the dense foliage.
"There you are! Little rat," He saw a woman, whose face was covered without giving him any clue.
Blades clashed, their clash echoing through the night, as Velian engaged in a ferocious battle against an adversary whose face remained hidden.
"Hehe~ you\'re skilled, but Ineont loses against you," Velian said and use his leg to hit her belly causing her to cough while looking at Velian with hatred-filled eyes.
"..." She kept looking at him silently for a few seconds and then she opened her mouth.
"You\'re already losing, the moment you came into this city, you already lost, she knows that you\'re here, if you\'re lucky, you might be able to become one of us, but looking at you, I know that won\'t happen," She said and whistled which confused Velian.
\'Is she calling her allies? Or is she trying to bluff?\'
The question remained until Velian felt thirty or forty people climbing the stairs to enter the upstairs with weapons in their hands.
The woman suddenly removed her mask and her dress which she was wearing and it vanished, but underneath her cover was a beautiful woman, who looked no older than thirty.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh~ help me, this man is," She suddenly shouted and started tearing her clothes like a mad woman and biting herself.
"..."
Velian didn\'t know what was happening, but he knew whatever is going to happen won\'t be in his favour.
