Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 966: Everyone Colides

Inside the main church hall, both Simyon and Liam were observing the situation. They were counting how many members there were and waiting for the perfect chance to take them out. It was Liam who was doing the calculations in his head as he sorted through everything he could see.

”It looks like thereʼs no perfect option either way,” Liam stated. ”Due to the amount of them there are, and the angles, if we take out two of them at the same time, someone will spot us. So weʼre just going to have to go with it.”

”Or we could be a little patient and wait. It seems like Safa hasnʼt acted yet, and who knows if these religion members are going to leave the room or not.”

They waited for the perfect chance. There were around eight members dressed in the colorful clothing. The good thing was there didnʼt appear to be any worshippers or ordinary citizens inside the building at the moment.

But they all wouldnʼt stay in one place for long, Simyon was sure of it. Regardless, though, it wouldnʼt matter. A loud slam was heard, and the doors from down below were swung open.

Due to the position both Liam and Simyon were in, they would be seen by anyone who entered, so they quickly moved together from above to the side closer to where the door opened.

”This church seems to have a problem on its hands, and because of it now Iʼve gotten involved,” a womanʼs voice was heard. ”You might have gotten away with things for a long time, but you just happened to capture the wrong person this time!”

All of those in the room had turned around, and Simyon and Liam wondered who was mad enough to just wander in like they had done.

”Wait, thatʼs Sunder!” one of the men said. ”He escaped and heʼs come back with some type of help. Everyone, ready yourselves!”

Immediately, many of them had grabbed the vials inside their robes and gulped down the liquid, while some had even pulled out small glowing daggers that were glowing with energy. Anna, seeing this, went to charge ahead towards one, and thatʼs when one of the Rylon religion members threw out both of his hands and a beam of white energy hit Anna right on her body. She could block the hit with her body and some of her own red beam of energy coming from her hands. But she felt her body soon being attacked in several different other areas as well.

ʼI expected some of them to have magic, but I didnʼt expect it to be like this!ʼ

It wasnʼt so much that the magic attacks were hurting her but they were annoying; every time she attempted to move she would be hit, and she couldnʼt move too easily due to the particular boy who had come in with her.

”I... I can help as well,” Sunder said as he pulled a dagger and started to charge to the side. He had run behind a pillar, making it hard for them to attack him. Then when he was ready he charged forward at one of the men in orange robes.

Sunder went to strike, but before he could reach the man, with one hand holding the dagger, it started to light up and shine brightly until it had completely blinded Sunder and he had no idea what he was running into.

”Weʼve been prepared for an attack for a long time, you thought we wouldnʼt be ready!” the man said as he faced one palm of his hand right toward Sunder, ready to light him up.

Anna was still far too busy with her own situation, that she wouldnʼt be able to reach the kid in time. She felt bad, but there was nothing she could do. With him gone as well, she thought she could actually get rid of these guys.

The beam of energy was shot out towards Sunder, and as he was gaining his eyesight back he saw it coming towards him, until a flash of blue light and the hairs on his body stood up.

His view was blocked by the blue image in front of him and so was the attack.

”Donʼt worry, you can stay behind me and youʼll be okay!” a voice said.

Right after, Simyon had grabbed part of the wall to the side, and pulled it out and hurled it right toward the warrior. The warrior attacked part of the wall, disintegrating it to bits, but he could no longer see the intruder, because Simyon was right behind him.

With an attack right to the back of his neck, the man had passed out falling straight to the ground. At the same time, Anna suddenly was feeling she had a lot less pressure on her, as attacks were dwindling one by one.

She could hear loud groans and when she saw what happened, she could see several swords had been thrown and were now lodged into the enemiesʼ backs. Eventually dropping down onto the stage was a person she recognized.

”Liam... and Simyon, what are you two doing here?” Anna asked.

”We actually wanted to ask you the same thing,” Simyon said. ”Itʼs good you came though, that was a lot easier than we thought because you two were such a big distraction for them. We worried that would actually be hard work.”

The two had eventually gotten into the center, and as they moved Liam pointed toward the dead bodies and raised his eyebrows. Simyon knew what he was getting at; Liam had once again taken out more than him.

”Man, how can he even compare like that? In the first place Iʼm a defense person not an offense person,” Simyon sulked.

”About your question... weʼre looking into matters with Safa, which is why weʼre here,” Simyon answered.

”Oh... Iʼm on the trail, looking for Charlotte,” Anna replied. ”Thatʼs why Iʼve been away. Itʼs quite a coincidence weʼve both ended up here in the same place. The world is truly small. But I have to ask, if Safa is with you, where is she?”

Both Liam and Simyon had a worried look on their faces; Safa had been gone for a while now, and they had no clue what was going on.
