The party of four walked amid empty buildings with dark windows that looks like eyes watching their every move.
Colmano and Cuzia are still involved in an argument that seems like it will never end. It was impressive that the two of them were still at the same party when they bickered too much like that.
Asqa just watched the two of them while occasionally giving a response in the form of a nod of her head, or a short 'Hmm'. She wasn't the least bit interested in their bickering even though Cuzia repeatedly pulled her into the conversation.
Suddenly, Asqa was attacked by a feeling where she felt someone was watching her. Asqa looked up at the buildings around her. But she could find nothing but empty dark windows.
But, is it true that these buildings are empty?
Asqa turned to Alessio who was in front of them. Alessio also turned to her with an understanding look. His gaze seemed to say that he also felt the strangeness that she felt.
'Are they monsters?'
Asqa bit her lips. If monsters were watching them from a distance, then those monsters were smart enough not to attack head-on. This means... they've set a trap.
Asqa with her quick thinking instantly discovers the dangers around them. She tried to warn Colmano and Cuzia who were still involved in trivial bickering. However, before she could say anything...
*JJJRRZZZTTTTTT!!!*
Waves of crimson lightning shot out from the four buildings around them. The lightning flashed toward them simultaneously.
"AARRGHHH!!!"
Colmano let out a deafening scream. His eyes widened as if his eyeballs could pop out anytime. His body was stiff, he had lost all control to move his body and fall to his knees.
Cuzia fell to the ground and groaned with her teeth grinding in pain. Her face was red and the veins on her forehead swelled up because of the pain she felt all over her body.
On the other hand, Alessio was able to move with incredible speed. He could dodge all that lightning by moving faster than them. Until finally he managed to get away from the lightning strike radius.
Asqa is also still able to endure with the light dome that protects her body. The dome is a skill that she got a few weeks ago after completing a task given by Uriel.
The skill will activate automatically when danger approaches Asqa's body. Unfortunately, the dome can only protect her and she cannot control it to protect her other friends.
Alessio's face looked calm even though their situation was far from good. His gaze fell on the four buildings emitting that lightning wave.
ƥαṇdαηθνε| Alessio immediately moved with his incredible speed to move into one of those buildings, intending to destroy whatever or whoever it was that had attacked them in secret.
But his steps stopped before he entered the building. His eyes narrowed suspiciously. He could have immediately walked into their trap as soon as he entered this building.
"Tch!" Clucking in annoyance, Alessio turned to his friends who were still suffering under the attacks of this merciless lightning wave. Luckily, Asqa was still able to protect herself.
There is only one way to stop this. Alessio, who felt his anger rising, thought that he wouldn't spare anyone who had done this.
Alessio drew the sword from the scabbard at his waist. Almost immediately when he pulled out his red-bladed sword, flames immediately ignited and burned the blade.
Alessio raised his sword high above his head. Then channeled his Mana into the sword. Suddenly, the flames on the blade shot out and formed a flaming serpent swirling above his head.
Asqa had seen that skill when they did the training together. And she admits that it is one of Alessio's strongest skills.
The ten-meter-long fiery serpent spun fiercely above Alessio's head. What he did next was point his sword at the building in front of him.
*BOOM!*
A huge explosion was created as the serpent shot into the building. The flames immediately spread to all the buildings, devouring them instantly as if the entire building had been doused with gasoline earlier.
Incredible heat radiated around the building. Now that all the traps in the building have been destroyed, the number of electric waves that attack Colmano, Cuzia, and Asqa has been drastically reduced due to the destruction of the building.
Alessio still had a calm face but his jaw was clenched tightly. His eyes reflected fire burning in front of him. It was so bright that it seemed as if Alessio's eyes were emitting the fire instead.
Done with one of the buildings, he directs his fire serpent at other buildings that emit waves of lightning. The fire serpent moved according to her command and crashed into the surrounding buildings.
It didn't take long for the fiery serpentine to destroy all the buildings that were emitting waves of lightning. The four buildings crumbled to ashes because the fiery serpent could even melt concrete and steel. It's not just knock them down.
After all those waves of lightning disappeared, Colmano and Cuzia were able to catch their breath after so long. Cuzia fell limply to the ground while Colmano was still in a kneeling position.
Colmano gritted his teeth and raised his eyes. His eyes flashed with fury.
"Who..."
Asqa's light dome instantly disappeared as the lightning waves attacking her body were gone. She immediately ran towards Cuzia and immediately healed her.
"Colmano, you can still stand up, right?" Alessio asked without bothering to turn to Colmano because he was looking for the culprit who was still hiding.
"Yeah..." Colmano made what sounded like a groan as he stood up.
*GRIP!*
His arms muscles tensed holding his great battle ax.
"Where are the bastards who did this?!" Colmano asked in an angry voice.
"They're hiding." Alessio's eyes moved quickly to find the assailant. Then, his eyes suddenly widened and he whipped his head backward.
"Behind you!"
Colmano immediately turned his head and raised his sword. However, an arrow that looked bigger than a normal arrow had already stuck in his chest.
