Ventura's expression shifted drastically as he turned to Brixton. "Gravity Manipulation? I thought only Tier 9 Forbidden Realm Earth Elemental Mages could cast spells like that! But you're not even a Mage, let alone a Tier 9 one at that!"
"Surprise!" Brixton grinned widely as he brandished his two massive double-handed axes and charged towards those trapped in the gravity field.
With each swing of his axe, heads flew off like confetti, blood spraying into the air like a twisted fountain.
Suddenly, a flash of green light zipped through the chaos, a green arrow pierced the neck of one unfortunate soul caught in the grip of gravity.
In quick succession, three more arrows shot out, claiming another three lives.
After a brief moment, Brixton waved his hand and released the gravity prison.
Those who remained were free to move, but many had already met their end.
"Dammit!" Ventura cursed angrily as he witnessed the carnage unfold before him.
"Don't get distracted in battle," came a voice from behind him just then.
Ventura's heart raced; he quickly spun around and raised his sword defensively. The instant he did so, an overwhelming force slammed into him!
BOOOOOM!
He was sent flying back several meters, dragging his feet along the ground and carving out a long trenchbehind him.
When he finally lifted his head, there stood Trinity just meters away, her gaze locked onto him with deadly intent.
"Ahhh! Save me!" screams echoed around them as Ventura turned to see his men falling like helpless chickens.
Brixton was weaving through the battlefield with ease; each swing of his axes cleaved enemies in half, leaving nothing but bloody remnants behind.
Meanwhile, Melian was on fire, each arrow she released found its mark without fail, piercing through necks and hearts alike.
The rest of the Morningstar Adventurer Team wasn't sitting idle either; they slaughtered anyone who crossed their path with ruthless efficiency.
At the back stood Aegnor beneath an enormous magic circle that pulsed with energy.
Trinity stood over him with an icy expression. "My brother always told me not to provoke anyone unless they offend me first. But now you've crossed that line, and because of your stupidity, the Battle Wolves will be wiped out without mercy."
With a swift motion, she pierced Ventura's heart with her gleaming spear, ending his life instantly.
She stared down at his lifeless body with an emotionless face.
"Big sis! Captain!" A voice rang out as Brixton, Aegnor, Melian, and the rest of the Morningstar Adventurer Team gathered around Trinity, their eyes fixed on Ventura's lifeless body. Cold gazes filled the air, this was no ordinary scene.
"Have you dealt with the others?" Trinity inquired, her tone steady.
"Yeah, they're all gone," Aegnor replied, his voice unwavering. "I checked; there's no sign of life left. No survivors."
"Good," Trinity nodded approvingly. "Now, take care of the bodies and burn them all. We can't leave any traces behind."
"Yes, Captain!" The team responded in unison before swiftly getting to work.
"Melian, scout the area. Make sure there are no unknown factors lurking about," Trinity instructed, turning her focus to her capable scout.
"Understood," Melian replied seriously. With a swift tap of her foot, she vanished into a blur and soared up into the branches above, blending seamlessly with the dense foliage.
"Brixton leaned closer to Trinity. "Should we inform big bro?"
"No," she shook her head firmly. "It's not time yet. The Battle Wolves won't catch wind of this for a while, this gives us some breathing room."
"Got it," Brixton nodded in agreement.
Minutes later, the team regrouped once more.
"Captain! Everything is taken care of," Aegnor reported confidently.
"Great! Let's move out then," Trinity said decisively. "The commotion might have drawn some attention."
With that command echoing through the air, they vanished from the forest as if they had never been there at all.
The only remnants of their presence were massive craters and uprooted trees, a testament to the chaos that had unfolded over miles of desolation.
