Chapter 93 - Run For Now

-- Aaris - PoV --

Zia screamed and pulled her sword out, charging at the noble who brought her. I grabbed Melvi and moved aside, and rested her on the corner.

I need to do something! I freed my mana and dashed at Zia, and grabbed her.

"This girl!" The nobleman we saw before when we entered the city and jumped stood from behind the audience, "this crazy bitch pulled her sword at me too!" 

"Who is this wench!" Diesswrin tapped her cane and suddenly immense pressure weighed down on me, 

'What the-' while I held Zia down, my shoulders and knees bent down too, like several tons of weights were pushing me down.

"Who the hell are you? And how dare you disrespect my client!" Diesswrin raised his cane, squinting disgustedly, aiming at us.

He is dangerous! I need to move away! 

"Unhand me, you disgusting man! Don't you dare touch me!" Zia stood up and threw me in the corner.

'Well, that's it for us…' I sighed and freed my mana.

Zia swung her sword at Diesswrin and he blocked it with ease and thrashed her into the stage, and havoc broke in the auction house, all the nobles started running and screaming, and rushing to the exit.

The elf got scared and fell on her knees, 

"I should've known this, who sent you to take her? Did you come here to steal her? Boy here I thought I don't have to kill anyone today but look, now I have to put more money to prepare a second auction for this bitch." Diesswrin sighed walked to the elf.

'Damn, he's way too strong for her I need to do-' I got up but then I saw I was covered in explosive talisman all around me.

"You are not going anywhere!" 

[ BLAST! ] 

***

A big explosion wrapped around Aaris and rumbles started to fly everywhere.

"Idiot! Can't you see I am still here!" Diesswrin shake his cane in the air and a visible barrier covering him became visible.

"Hehe,  sorry my lord but you see that guy… he was dangerous so-" the man chucked and 9 other mages were standing behind him, he rose his nose in arrogance, but when the smog settled down, a voice come from it,

"Quite a good intuition you have!" Aaris was standing there cleaning his coat, 

"What the fuck? How did you survive that I used 10 frigging talismans! You know how expensive they are?" The man snapped and started yelling at Aaris.

"All of you are useless! Clean this up and Wargy! Bring both of these bitches to the depository, I need to hurry the clients, I might lose one or two because of these idiots!" Diesswrin wore his hat and marched to the exit.

"Wait here you-" Zia tried to follow him but his way was blocked by the escort who was bringing the slaves, his physique was huge as an ogre, and had a face mask on.

"Hehe… will you play with a little one?" He giggled, thwarting a punch on the ground.

Zia evaded and moved back close to the elf, she was trembling in fear without any idea of the crisis, she crouched on the ground trembling and started yelling...

"Eeh…eee... ya...ehyaa..!" She can't speak and she neither had her tongue intact in her mouth when Zia realized that a raging explosion of mana covered her sword.

-- Aaris - PoV -- 

Damn, she is erupting some dangerous mana aura, her sword, it was a double-edged blade, with flowers and vines etched on the mid rising till the point started glowing in a pink hue, like petals on the blade came into life. 

"I will slice you into a thousand pieces!" She raised her sword at him, with nothing but bloodlust in her eyes.

"I would like to see you try!" The man clenched his fist and pulled out a club from his back.

'Zia!' I looked at that elf jerking her leg in fear and dragging herself in the corners, 

'Zia! forget him! Take her and Melvi out here first!' I cried and she stopped, 

"You don't have to worry about them! You think you take them on your own! I can-" she started yelling at me coldly and 

'Just fucking do what I say!'  my aura erupted and started blazing out of my body, 'you have caused enough trouble, you wanted to save them right? If you want to save them and yourself, 

Get away from here!' I stared at her and she froze there, she gawked at me with hatred and unsheathed her sword, she ran to the elf and picked her up in her arms, the elf started kicking and struggling, and Zia tried to calm her down, 

"It's okay, there is no need to be sacred! We'll save you, so just relax and-" 

"You are not going anywhere!" Wargy pulled his club high right above her head and roared.

***

-- Zia - PoV --

The huge physique of this monster of a man almost hid everything behind him from my mission and rose his club right above my head, damn it my hands are already full, I can't even-

''Just go!'' Rise dashed with a kick on his face, the impact was incredible, it almost swept me off my feet and somehow I was able to stand.

"We don't have much time, we have to get out from here before more trouble comes in and-" Rise looked at me, he still looked didn't much changed from before but now strange mana was running inside his body and his aura was the dreadful thing I felt in my whole life, he looked at me with his I'm dead eyes, but then a big chunk of stone came flying us.

Rise slapped the chuck aside and that Wargy, he stood up again, "Where will you run, you stinking rats!" 

"Look around you! You can't even escape from here, don't get cocky just because I let my guard down! I'll make you regret this!" He started marching at us and each of his steps created a loud noise of stones crushing under his feet.

I looked around 10 mages surrounding us in the blink of an eye, they were no joke too, their aura was somewhat close to a Saint 8th mage, if there were a few it would've been no bother but 10 of them might create problems for us.

"Moreover where will you run too? Do you even know where we are right now?" Wargy suddenly broke into a laugh,

"Care to share?" And Rise just smiled at him and Wargy stopped laughing, Rise smile ticked him off and he rose his club 

"Inside of a damn mountain you fucking brat!"

[ HEAVY DOWN ] He thrashed his club at him and I covered the Elf in my arms.

A huge blast occurred and I slowly opened my eyes and saw a splatter of blood under his club, and my legs gave out in fear, my mind went blank and my senses left my side,

"Just a big mouth?! Now you woman! You can't escape from here, also you want to die for that bitch? Look at her collar once she goes out from here, that collar will blast her head in smithers-"

"Damn now that's a big problem." This voice? I looked above and saw Rise unharmed standing on the chandelier of the auction house.

'Rise! Are you okay-' I shouted but he abruptly shut me off, 

"Zia, go to Melvi, get a good viewing spot, and wait! We'll solve that issue after I am done with this." and he smirked, in his eyes now there was one this clear, bloodlust…

They were the eyes of a beast that knows no fear but just holds a thirst for the blood of his prey.

I collected myself and surged my mana, 

[ MAGIA INFERNOS EN IVY]

[ EVODIASTÉS FLÓGES ]

My flames covered my body and created a barrier, I galloped above the mages and they caught up with my  moments, 

"Where are you going lady? My what soothing fragrance coming out of you," A mage sprinted at me and with his spear and tried to stab my legs,

"Woah ain't this fire hot! I never saw a pink fire before." Two mages started running by my side, but they didn't know one thing…

'You shouldn't have come close to me.'

"What are you-" the mage on my left collapsed and the other one went down too.

"What happened? Why did you fall down?"

"She didn't even attack or chant any spell? Then why are they squirming on the floor!" 

The other mages went to them and noticed the mages on the floor were digging their chest and skin with nails until they bled and blood started spewing out of the scratches. shaking in invisible pain.

"Oye! Don't do that! Why are you-" the other mage picked one up and jerked him and held his hand back from scratching himself.

"It burns! My insides! they are on fire!" The man screamed out and his cry scared the other mages to take a step back!.

'Come at me, if you have the balls to do that!'
