10 Event Quest (III)

Footsteps were heard going up the stairs. We to the door of the room, and waited for whatever will enter. We were pretty used to this type of infiltration thing. Whoever or whatever enters, we end them quickly. I got my dagger ready. Seph got her dagger ready, and it looked like it was sparking a bit of electricity. She got herself a rare magic dagger. The door opens and it was the orc I had met earlier. By the time he opens the door, I had made the attack. I thrust my dagger towards his face, trying to go for the easy kill. Seph predicted that he would dodge the attack, so she did the same with her dagger but towards where she thought he'd move.

Both of our daggers hit him, but he doesn't bleed. His eyes turn bright red, and we pull out our daggers. We leapt back keeping distance. The orc saw our movements and made an opportunity attack at Seph. He does a strong punch, Seph wasn't fast enough to dodge it so she covered herself with her hands taking in the punch. She gets pushed back to the window we came from. The window doesn't break. It seemed like his muscles were getting bigger.

"Surrender now, you don't stand a chance against me" he says

"What makes you think so?" I ask

"The moment you made your attack, you should have realized" he replied

"So what about it? We will win, and get answers from you."

"Tsk come and try!!"

I activate my boots of speed. You know what they say, if you can't beat them with sheer strength, beat them with speed. This boots not only made me move faster, but I could feel like my reactions and reflexes are intensified. I saw his punch coming, and I was able to dodge, and get under him

"Tsk, you think speed is enough?!"

I was able to slash under his arm. I saw his other hand going for the smack. So I dropped down, and rolled quickly away to dodge it. I did a quick kip up to get back up. I wasn't fast enough as the moment I got up, his punch was already there flying straight at me. I tried to block the attack, but he was too strong so I got pushed back and hit the wall. I see Seph got unconscious from the first attack, and I could feel myself losing consciousness. The orc's body shrunk back to normal size and it seems like he got wounds from where we attacked him, but he didn't feel bothered by it. My vision slowly fading away, the orc approaches me. He notices that I'm still slightly conscious, so he throws another punch. Blackout.

Ravenna's POV

We waited outside for the scream. Hiding around the house in hidden areas. We waited for an hour or so. I move silently around the trees and bushes surrounding the house, as I approach to Razz and Domotraus's spot.

"What do you two think?" I ask

"They're probably at it already, if you think about it. A girl and a boy, what else?" Razz replies

"No they're not" I slap Razz

"Ow hey, I was just kidding"

"Well I think we should check up on them" Domotraus replies

"They don't usually take so long for a simple infiltration" he continues

We notice Lucas approaching.

"There's a barrier that's been set up around the house, a barrier that traps everything inside. Not even light or sound can escape the barrier." Lucas says

"They're already caught, the enemy must be cautious." Domotraus remarks.

"Alright we are going in" I decide for the team

The three of them nod in agreement, Lucas goes to a side of the house and starts to chant in elven for the dispel magic spell. Lucas casts it and it was successful, the barrier gets closed. The windows are all metal bars with curtains being covering what's inside.

"I'll cause the distraction. Unlike you assassins, I wanna be a flashy one. Besides I'm not stealthy enough." Lucas says

The three of us nods waiting for the distraction before we break in. Lucas chants again summoning his spiritual weapon. He made a loud sound using a common spell called Thaumaturgy. An orc guy came out looking wounded, as if he had fought someone.

"What do you want? Who are you?" he asks

The other neighboring houses heard the noise as well, and they all came out.

"Hey! Keep it down!" one of them say

"Go back to your homes, you should be asleep!" another say

"SILENCE!" the orc screams

The other villagers went silent as if they feared this orc. The orc looks like he's getting bigger. His body looked like it's growing and his eyes glow red. He let out a loud scream. This must be our chance to sneak in. I made the first move and the other two followed me. The orc makes a charge towards Lucas. Lucas saw it coming as he attempted to dodge, but he wasn't fast enough to evade the orc. He takes on the full blow of the orc knocking him back. He lands on his two feet and smirks. He notices us and starts to charge at the orc buying us time to get in. We were able to sneak behind the orc and got into the house through the front door. There was a staircase leading upwards and a hallway leading to a room in front of us. I split up with the two boys and went to the hallway. They both head ahead upstairs. As I explored the hallway, I chanted a spell to detect any hidden passage, which I detected. I head in the room and saw a transparent opening under the mattress that was placed on the floor. I took it off and found a trapdoor. I opened it and went inside. With my dark vision I searched for both Athelstan and Seph. I found both of them chained to the wall, this place looked like a torture chamber. There were cages in the room also, and inside the cages were looked like human children. Most of them looking very wounded. I check to see if Athelstan and Seph are alive, thankfully they are. They're only unconscious. I free them both. They were unconscious so I needed the help of Razz and Domotraus. I went back to the room and to the staircase to look for them. I could see from the hallway what was happening between the orc and Lucas. Lucas looks like he's losing and his spiritual weapon isn't with him anymore.

I went out and screamed to the orc, Lucas looked like he was about to die. He's sustained way too many damage to even stand up properly. The orc faces towards me. I get my magic crystal and start to chant for the flaming sphere. The flame sphere appears but then gets hit by water.

"Sorry m'am, but we'll take it from here." Someone would speak out from 20ft.

I couldn't see where the person was, so I assumed he was invisible. Then the orc would be surrounded in a lightning wall. About five people would appear around the wall of lightning. They would be wearing all white and hooded with a sign that looks like a red flower with a black flame on top of the flower.
