"What is wrong with you?!" I ask her.
"We have an infiltration!" One of the guards says. "Go raise the alarm!"
No you won't!
One of the soldiers starts running towards the exit of the cell aisle. I cast [Vines] to stop him and he gets pinned immediately.
"Now, get out of my way!" She screams and moves forward, throwing herself with a wide swing of her scythe.
The two poor soldiers that got caught in her swing were sent to the wall and became decorations of the structure after getting hit by the shaft.
"That is what I am talking about!" She screams while laughing maniacally.
What prompted this? She was calm moments ago! She mutters something about being annoyed about being stealthy or something, but this is too much.
"Stupid brat!" Ash yells and runs to help her.
"What is wrong with that brute! She gave us our position with 10 soldiers in front of us!" Karina complains.
"We can only help!" I say as I went in.
"Attack the vulpin! Oswald said she is weak!" One of them say.
Around three of them jump at me with weapons out, screaming.
"I got you!" One uses [Rush] and breaks immediate distance.
I step to the side and cast [Firebolt] directly at him, punishing him for his mistake.
The other makes his spear glow red and a flame comes out of its tip! He tries to stab me!
I cast [Icebolt] in response, hitting his face and taking him out.
"E-ehat?! O-oswald gave us wong information!" Says the last one.
I cast [Soundbolt] at him.
"He gave you what he believes is the right information." I answer before finishing him off with another [Firebolt].
That was... An underwhelming fight.
Aurelia throws another soldier and he falls at my feet.
"Hahahahaha! So easy!" She says when there are no more guards on their feet.
"You idiot!" I scream at her. "You could have gotten us killed!"
"Come on! It was getting boring and none of these weaklings can beat us! And look at you now! You can tear through them with ease!" She says, more proud of herself than she should.
"Count them!" Ash says. "We need to make sure none managed to..."
DING DING DING
A loud bell begins to sound inside of the jail, the sound reverberating through the halls of the place. Someone raised the alarm in this place!
"See what you did?!" I ask her.
"What? We are getting this shit done faster. Let's get this guy out now!" She still doesn't seem to understand it.
I will deal with her later. If we do not get Jace out now, this will be for nothing!
We start to look for him. For security, Lisa stays close to me. She is the only one with little combat capacity, after all, and what she can do is mostly support.
"She has been weird the whole day." Lisa says. "It's like something has her on the edge."
"You noticed too?" I say, looking into every cell. "She was weird earlier when I asked her about her home."
"She keeps repeating she is a queen..."
"The last time I saw her before all of this started, she was."
I have the odd sensation that something happened. If she is the Tyrant Queen of the Deep, shouldn't she be bugging me more about returning? When the topic came in, she didn't seem to want to talk about it.
The next cell I find a weird guy that starts laughing when he notices me.
"Hehehe... Hahahahaha! Look at those ears and tail! Ahahahahahahah!"
Weirdo... To know how much time he has been in here.
We barely have any time.
That is when I see him in a cell, injured, not moving, blood in his bruised face.
They really roughed him up.
"Here! I found him!" I say.
I try to open the door and it is obviously not working. I forgot to check if any of the guests had any keys seeing this is a prison.
"Move!" Aurelia screams when she arrives after following my voice.
With pure raw strength, she pulled two bars apart, making an opening as wide as it was loud to make. She makes little effort to achieve it, and walks inside.
"Come here, you chicken bastard." She grabs him. He complains when she lifts him and holds him in her shoulder.
"Search the place! Don't let them escape!" Someone yells from the entrance.
"We are talking about this later!" I say to Aurelia with a stern look.
"Tshe! Have fun for a little bit, won't you? It's not like their numbers can stop us!" She clicks her tongue at me, annoyed.
What is her problem? It is true we are sweeping the floor with them, but that does not mean we need to be reckless!
They enter from the way which is more convenient for us, where we were not going! That means the way back is still free!
We start to make our way back to where we came from. I am pissed off with Aurelia for putting us in this situation!
The soldiers are coming from behind, but I cannot just trust that they will only attack from behind us. I can hear them yelling behind us as we run. There are at least a dozen guards coming for us.
"Stop talking and run!" Ash yells, reaching for the door and opens it, intending to make us leave first.
"Hold this." She says while giving him the unconscious Jace.
He grabs Jace with impressive ease, not without being completely and utterly stunned at her as she turns towards the soldiers with a wicked smile on her face.
"Come here! Face the Tyrant Queen! [Inferno]!" She casts and screams as she rushes towards them, engulfing the coming soldiers, unaware of the dragonkin power, in fiery fire, when...
"[Death Ray]!" A female voice screams from behind the guards.
ZAP!
A powerful electric spell was cast against her, coming from behind the smoke left , hitting her right shoulder with precision and piercing through. I cast a magic shield as I see the spell almost hit me, and my defensive cast shatters immediately.
Aurelia holds the scream, but she falls to her left knee, and grunts in frustration.
"My... I cannot let anyone leave this place." The voice explained. "Oswald and my boss at the Eye would be very angry..."
I move forward. We have a powerful magic user and Aurelia is heavily injured.
"You idiot... you know they are using mages!" I tell Aurelia as I walk in front of her.
