Meanwhile, Luicien and the swordsman were clashing swords.
The swordsman charged at Luicien, cutting directly through him.
However, the body that was meant to be Luiciens disappeared. The man looked behind him and saw Luicien charging at him.
ILLUSION MAGIC: FAKE OUT.
(CLINK!)
The two clashed swords again.
The swordsman raised his sword.
BLOOD MAGIC: BLADES OF BLOOD.
He then did two slicing motions in the air, blood started to form into two blade like shapes, which headed to Luicien at high speeds.
Luicien prepared for the attacks.
This situation is impossible.
Luicien jumped up above the blood blades.
Mid-air he charged toward the swordsman.
ILLUSION MAGIC: DOUBLE SHOT CLONE ATTACK.
He then made another hard copy of himself and both slashed at the swordsman, but the swordsman deflected.
The swordsman lowered his sword, which took Luicien off guard.
"You may want to pay attention to your buddy".
The swordsman said this while pointing to Mika's direction.
This made Luicien turn around, his eyes went wide.
Mika's limp unconscious body laid in the hands of Witter.
When- when did this happen, I thought Witter had back off.
Victoria analysed the situation.
I need to muster up all the strength I have, otherwise we'll all die.
She squished her staff tight and clenched her teeth together, as bullets of sweat dripped down her face.
She aimed her staff at Witter and fired a magic bolt, but it was no use her attack was too weak, so he dodged as a result. However, the attack did take him off guard.
This girl looked drained of magic, how is she able to attack? She could be a problem...
Luicien backed off toward Victoria.
A gross laugh came from Witter.
"Your friend is knocked out thanks to Miyla, so I would think careful before you fire anymore magic mage".
His focus was all on Victoria
The last members of the group reviled their faces by pulling their hoods down as they stepped forward.
A woman with long black hair and pale skin stepped forward, which had a sinister smile.
Witter held onto Mika's neck.
"Don't make any sudden movements or this one die's".
Luiciens eyebrows turned down and he started grinding his teeth together, the anger on his face could be seen from miles away.
Victoria moved so she was next to Luiciens side with her hands up.
"If you're going to kill us, could you at least tell us what you plan on doing with that gem there".
She was referring to the one on the ground behind them.
Witter shrugged his shoulders.
"You deserve to know that much at least I suppose, you going to be dead anyways".
He looked at them with a dark eyes.
"You see there's 4 of these things, if all 4 were to be
brought together, it would bring the end to humankind and a new world will be in order".
Victoria thought for a moment.
If I play it right and act dumb, he may willingly give me the info I want.
"Who gave you an idea like that?".
Witter let his guard down a little.
"Not even we know, our master's identity remains anonymous anyway enough of that Miyla take care of them".
The black hair women pulled out a quiver pen.
She started to write in the air, to which the words appeared in mid-air.
The words spelt: {Paralysis}.
Victoria started to feel a weird sensation, first her legs gave out then her whole body went numb and she started to fall toward Luicien.
"Luicien...".
Her Voice sounded tremulous.
Luicien caught her.
What the hell was that a pen? Now Victoria can't move?!.
Victoria rested in Luiciens arms.
I've never seen a mage use magic like this; we're in more danger than I realised.
Victoria realised the danger of what this person could do.
Miyla began writing again, this time the word read out to be d.e.a.t.h.
Before the spell could be complete, a thin blade pierced the ground causing there to be a shockwave, Luicien could now see platinum blonde hair setting in place. The presence of this person was overwhelming.
She stepped Infront of Luicien and Victoria to protect them, her sword began to glow.
Her blonde long hair wavered due to the force.
She turned back to Victoria and Luicien.
"You guys, ok?".
Luicien looked up at her.
"Yea we are thanks".
This woman faced witter and his group, her white eyes piercing through their mental strength.
"I am Captain Sophie of the magic corporation".
Witters eyes widened.
"No way, Miyla do something!".
Miyla herself looked terrified.
Sophie went to charge at him, but Miyla wrote the words {teleport team}.
As Sophie was about to slash at them they all vanished,
Which caused Mika's body to flop.
Sophie helped them up and got her squad to take care of Mika.
"You three did a good job, a member of my squad was observing while I was on my way".
Luicien looked star struck.
"Your Sophie of the magic corporation, correct?".
Sophie looked amused.
"That's me, let me guess you plan on joining?".
Luicien nodded like a dog.
"Yes, that's right.".
Sophie laughed.
"What about you?".
Referring to Victoria.
Victoria remained slummed on Luiciens shoulder.
"Yea that's right I was planning on joining when the applications opened for this year".
Sophie gave a look of admiration.
"I'll be sure to give you both a recommendation and for your friend if he plans on joining.
Victoria looked happy and Luicien looked as if he was going to cry.
Sophies squad personally escorted them back to the village.
***
A month passed, both Luicien looked at Victoria now in the uniform jacket for the magic corporation as well as himself.
Mika appeared behind them hugging them both also in the uniform.
"Hey guys!!".
A familiar voice called out to them, they turned to see Noah and Lillican.
Luicien and the other two was surprised by this.
"You guys joined the magic corporation too?"
Noah looked a little embarrassed.
"Your guy's words and actions inspired me, so I finally put in my application even after I said I wouldn't. Lillican applied to make sure nothing would happen to me".
A wave of joy swept over Luicien, he looked at all his friends that now were with him on his next journey of his.
He raised his head.
I will find out what my dreams mean, who the horned man is as well as who Astra is.
More importantly I will stop this doomsday that's about to come.
