Madeline's countenance, normally composed and unflappable, now held an edge of worry. Crystal, by her side, maintained her protective stance, displaying unwavering loyalty and determination despite the tumultuous circumstances.

Nexus quickly gauged the situation, his instincts on high alert. "Madeline, Crystal," he called out, his voice filled with urgency. "Are you both okay?"

Madeline, her voice tinged with a sense of urgency, responded swiftly, "We're fine, but they're after us."

The sudden turn of events heightened the urgency of the situation. Nexus swiftly reevaluated the dangers surrounding them, realizing the gravity of the situation had escalated. He swiftly devised a plan, intent on ensuring the safety of Madeline, Crystal, Monica, and Nora against the unknown assailants wreaking havoc within the castle.

Amid the chaos, Nexus's attention honed in on Crystal's altered state. A startling discovery dawned upon him as he observed dark mana coursing through Crystal's limbs, a telltale sign of the escalated power of their pursuer. It was known that she had reached an S-rank level at the moment, a revelation that should have guaranteed a considerable advantage in their defense.

Yet, despite the enhanced abilities, the partnership between Crystal and Madeline, renowned for its formidable strength, had been unexpectedly overpowered by another assailant. Nexus found himself astonished at the revelation, perplexed by the sudden turn of events despite Crystal's heightened strength.

Crystal's darkened mana and heightened rank usually indicated a significant increase in her combat prowess. Nexus, well-versed in the intricacies of power dynamics, had anticipated their advantage in such a situation. However, the revelation of their partnership being overcome by an unknown enemy left him deeply concerned, his mind racing to assess the severity of the threat they faced.

The unforeseen turn of events further escalated the urgency of the situation, prompting Nexus to reevaluate their strategy in light of this unexpected challenge. He knew that they needed to regroup and fortify their defense to counter this unanticipated and formidable opposition.

Nexus's eyes widened as he witnessed a new adversary emerge from Madeline's room. Unlike the assailants they had faced thus far, this figure was surrounded by a colossal humanoid entity forged from red mana. The towering entity, with four arms exuding an intimidating aura, seemed to possess an unfathomable and boundless power.

As the figure stepped forward, the air crackled with an otherworldly energy, the atmosphere tinged with an eerie red hue emanating from the colossal entity.

Nexus's mind raced as he analyzed the situation, joining this new foe with the existing fire mage he had been battling with. His instincts screamed a warning; this new foe was unlike anything they had encountered. The overwhelming presence of this red mana entity struck a chord of concern and urgency within Nexus.

"Who... or what is that?" Nexus murmured under his breath, a mixture of astonishment and apprehension coloring his words. His eyes remained fixed on the colossal figure, a tangible manifestation of raw power and danger.

Madeline and Crystal, despite their prowess, had been overpowered by this being. It was evident that facing such an opponent would be a daunting challenge, a threat that demanded immediate attention and strategic consideration.

The assailant, flanked by the formidable entity, advanced with a deliberate and assured gait, the red entity exuding an ominous and overwhelming presence.

Nexus's mind whirred with strategies, analyzing potential countermeasures. "This... this is a game-changer," he thought, his mind frantically assessing their options. The towering red entity posed a threat beyond their current capabilities, and Nexus realized they needed a plan to confront such overwhelming power.

"We have to regroup and reassess our approach," Nexus said, his voice low but resolute. "We need a different strategy for this level of opposition." His gaze shifted between Madeline, Crystal, and the menacing figure before them, formulating a plan to confront this new and unprecedented threat.

Nexus's heart sank as he pieced together the identity of the menacing figure. This man, adorned with the red entity, bore the telltale signs of the York family. Nexus's mind reeled at the realization, understanding that this adversary had tapped into a deeper, more profound bloodline, awakening powers of extraordinary magnitude.

His mind raced, weighing the grave situation. "This man is from the York family," he muttered to himself, "He's tapped into an ancient and powerful lineage," Nexus said in realization, a mix of dread and urgency etched across his face. The gravity of their predicament intensified, as the capabilities of this newly awakened entity far surpassed anything they had encountered before.

"Run!" Nexus commanded, urgency lacing his voice. "We're no match for this level of power. We need to find an escape route!"

However, their path to safety was swiftly blocked as two additional assailants, dressed in black, closed in on their position. The pincer movement left them with no clear route for escape, trapping them within the confined space.

Nexus's mind raced with a mix of apprehension and determination. The predicament they found themselves in was dire, with no apparent means of evasion. Their adversaries had effectively cornered them, leaving Nexus grappling with the realization that a direct confrontation was futile against this newfound, overwhelming power.

His gaze flickered between Madeline, Crystal, and Nora, their expressions mirroring a blend of fear and urgency. Nexus knew that their only chance lay in finding a strategy to outmaneuver their foes and secure a pathway to safety.

"We need a plan, and we need it now," Nexus muttered to himself, his mind racing through potential strategies. He searched for a way to outwit their adversaries, his determination unwavering in the face of imminent danger.

The air crackled with tension as their adversaries closed in, leaving Nexus and his companions in a precarious position, their fate hanging in the balance. Nexus's thoughts raced, seeking a glimmer of hope or an opportunity amid the suffocating sense of imminent confrontation.

In a moment of desperation, Nexus's mind raced for a solution, his mind instinctively remembering the water gourd he carried. With a quick and practiced motion, he uncapped it, releasing a torrent of water that surged forth with a force that exceeded all expectations.

Dozens of tons of water inundated the Russell family castle, swiftly filling every nook and cranny. Nexus's impromptu flood strategy aimed to disrupt the assailants' plans and create chaos, momentarily rendering everyone submerged and struggling to navigate within the sudden aquatic deluge.

"We need to go with the flow," Nexus shouted over the tumult, the urgency in his voice cutting through the watery chaos.

With the castle submerged, the force of the water current turned the once-stable environment into a turbulent stream, propelling Nexus, Madeline, Crystal, Nora, Monica and the assailants in an unexpected watery rush.

Amid the churning water, Nexus used his adeptness with water manipulation to steer the flow, angling it in a direction that facilitated their escape. They were carried by the force of the water, streaming out of the castle, carried by the powerful current Nexus had orchestrated.

The assailants, caught off guard by Nexus's impromptu maneuver, found themselves struggling against the overpowering deluge. The once-confident attackers now grappled with the unexpected turn of events, battling the rushing water as they tried to regain their footing and pursue their targets.
