212: The Successful Escape

The Successful Escape

"As much as I'd love to stay and fight, I have to go." Muttered John as he entered into the ice sphere he had formed. 0

Seeing this, those who hid in the shadow, quickly rushed out in an attempt to stop him. But before they could reach him. A bright light shone above the Ice sphere and clouded the entire room. 

This got rid of all the darkness and shadow causing all who were hiding to be explosed. 

Surprised, they tried to head back into the nearest shadow, but before they could. 

The sound of a clock was heard and an explosion followed after 

*BOOOOM!* 

An immense amount of wind pressure mixed with flames was sent throughout the entire storage room, burning many of the boxes and severely injuring many of those who weren't able to make it to the shadow in time. 

The explosion was so loud it resounded throughout the entire storage room, and other areas in the city, alarming all who were nearby. 

Before the explosion could even calm down, many left the shadows and rushed towards the Ice sphere. They knew they wouldn't have much time now as it was the 2nd explosion. The knight squads would have arrived in any minute. 

As they reached the ice sphere, around 5 of them, cast a 'dark spike' spell and once the spikes were formed, they quickly pierced through the ice sphere before even more spikes extended from them in an attempt to stab and pierce every single area on the inside of the ice sphere. 

After that, one of them, cut off the top of the ice sphere with a swing of a dark sword, expecting to find their target in a near-death state, however, contrary to their expectations, they found nothing. 

It was empty, completely empty. 

One of the cloaked men turned back and faced a teenager who slowly walked out of the shadow. 

Seeing this, the man bowed and all the others followed after. The girl looked no older than 18, yet she was the one in control. 

With each step, the smile on her face grew dimmer, as she asked 

"Where are they?" 

To this question, the man who had originally cut off the top of the ice sphere answered 

"M-My lady, They disappeared..." 

Hearing this, the smile on the girl's face had completely disappeared. She then asked 

"What?" 

Pitch-black long hair tied up in twin tails. A nice, well balanced frame with quite the glare. If there was one thing any of them would hate about her, it would be her attitude, which terrified them. 

"I-I said, t-they dissa-" 

Before the man could finish, he was suddenly pierced by a dark spike which came out of his shadow. 

Confused, he tried to say something, but before he could. More spikes came out of the area where the spike had pierced him, piercing his whole body in the process. 

He coughed out blood as it poured out of his body before he finally dropped to the floor. 

Seeing this, she raised her hand and another man in a robe quickly went to her side. 

"Clean it up." She said 

Without wasting any time, the man nodded before doing exactly as she told. He began to chant something and a small dark rectangle was formed underneath the corpse of the curently dead man. 

After that, the dark rectangle opened up, causing the corpse to fall inside of the it, and once the corpse was gone, the dark rectangle disappeared. 

"Good, now I'll ask again, where are they?" 

---------------------- 

"Mn... W-Where... Where am I...?" Asked the pink haired older sister as she got up 

She couldn't feel anything underneath her, and could feel a little bit of rubble falling on her face as something moved her forwards. 

Confused, she lookeused, she looked around and noticed that she was inside of a small tunnel, and before she could even understand what sort of situation she was in. John called out to her 

"Hey, you awake?" John asked as he continued to motion his hands 

With each motion the tunnel would extend, and the rocks in front of him would fall down. On top of that, the dirt and rocks above, would sit in place. 

The weirdest part was how the boy was doing all of this without chanting, as if it was the easiest thing for him 

Surprised, the girl stared at John in confusion and fear, she couldn't remember what happened or how she ended up here. 

Seeing this, John put a smile as he said 

"Don't worry, I'm here to help, although it may be a bit diffucult to understand right now..." John muttered 

Suddenly, her eyes rose as she seemed to have recognised the boy in front of her 

"Y...You're... The boy from the other day...?!" 

"Mhm, that's me" Said John slightly happy that she had remembered. 

Hearing this, she once again, took a look around before asking 

"Where are w-" 

She suddenly stopped once she realised that her legs weren't touching the ground. She was floating. 

"A-Am I dead!?" She asked as she began to swing her arms and body around in panic 

"Woah, calm down, you're perfectly fine." Said John 

[Didn't she look more composed before? Well I guess her reaction does make sense...] 

"F-Fine? H-How?! I'm floating!?" 

"It's okay, it happens, it's part of life." 

"In what way!?" 

After putting in enough force, she managed to tilt her body, vertically and got her legs on the ground. 

Seeing this, John deactivate Levite on her, but because it was so sudden, she lost balance and was about to fall when suddenly 

"Careful." Said John as he stopped and grabbed her before she fell 

As she rested on his arms and stared into his eyes, she got bright red. How was it that a kid could look so manly? She wondered 

"I-I-I'm fine!" She nearly shouted as she got back on her foot 

 "Good, let's get going." 

"Wait, you still haven't explained how... Is that, hayden?" She asked as she finally noticed her brother floating beside her.
