A Scared Fox

With Xilo unable to help her out, Azalu had to figure out how to beat these two while using the least amount of energy possible. "It's been a long time since I've fought." Gripping the staff in her hand she took the only approach she really had left. It's purpose was to strengthen Elemental attacks but it could still be used as a physical weapon. Aiming right for the weakened one she bashed her staff against his body before he had any time to recover. Sending him flying against the wall near Xilo, he crashed into it causing enough cracks to appear in the wall for it to collapse completely.

"Opps."

Swiftly getting up before more rubble could fall on him Xilo felt a bit of panic as he watched the man get crushed underneath the wall. "That has to hurt." Turning his head he looked at the culprit who gave him a quick wink before waving him off. "Relia?" Unable to ask any questions, another burst of energy came right for him. Backing up, Xilo got out of the way before it hit him. Facing such relentless attacks from three people a lot stronger than him, Xilo was pushing himself quite a bit. "She's dealt with two, can she help with all of them though?" He had noticed she was quite tired when she waved at him and having already dealt with two he didn't want to push her anymore.

Ducking under another sword attack Xilo stayed on the defensive as he tried to figure something out. "Darkness? No, maybe if I make them slip?" That thought linged in his mind for a moment until he remembered how unphased the one was when he did get a sneak attack in. "Little tricks aren't going to work." Running out of ideas, Xilo felt a little desperate. "Maybe I do need to use that." Feeling a little hesitant he brushed past another attack that slightly ripped his skin open. Creating three Ice Daggers he threw them towards the men hoping to get some breathing room. Only two of three hit and they barely flinched once they got hit.

"Heh."

For the first time in the whole fight he heard one of the men make a noise other than grunts. "Annoying." Feeling slightly irritated, Xilo used Icebreaker to stop one of their attacks. Digging his feet into the ground he was locked in place while the other two came straight for him. Using his Astral Dagger he blocked another attack leaving him wide open for the third. Feeling his back get ripped apart Xilo almost wanted to shout out in pain. Cold metal dragged down his back causing a large cut to form and spill out blood before it could finish though he felt it stop. "Huh?" Barely looking behind him he watched as Relia bashed the man's face with her staff as she knocked him back.

"Relia!?"

Looking over to where she was before he saw the third man lying on the ground knocked out.

"No, right now it's me. Relia got a little too tired so I took over in her place. If you think I can help with these three though you're wrong. My energy is way too low, that was all I had left."

Hearing the change in Relia's speech, Xilo knew she wasn't lying.

"That's fine, just protect me from that one for a minute, you don't have to beat him."

"I'll do my best."

Using herself as a shield was something Azalu had never done before but in her current condition that was all she was good for. "We got this." Without any choice she let Xilo do his thing as she protected him from the third. Pushing back against the two people he was blocking he made sure they were distracted enough. Concentrating, he found that small cave inside of him as he gathered a small bit of energy from it. Like that, he felt his anger rising as his urge to lash out became stronger. His mind started to think less. This was the first time he had ever used this outside of practice combat. He was in an environment with no one to stop him now. He could do whatever he wanted, be free and rampage to his heart's content.

"I don't know what the hell you're doing Xilo but you better hurry it up or else."

Hearing the sense of urgency in Relia's voice, Xilo's thoughts calmed down a bit as he got a hold of them. "I'm fine, I'm fine..." Taking a deep breath he opened his eyes as they glowed red for a split second. In the next moment he exhaled the air he was holding as two blades escaped his skin and pierced the men in front of him instantly. Breaking one of the man's swords, Xelfia punched him straight in the face as she sent him flying. Kicking the other away she rushed straight for the next one as she smiled. A fight like this was a perfect way for her to blow off some steam. Tearia didn't really know why this was happening but she defended herself nonetheless. Smashing one of them men with her Lightning Rod she did her best to fight against people a lot stronger than her.

"Are you good Tearia?"

"Yeah I'm fine, more annoyed they interrupted me than anything else."

"Haha, good."

The Little fox quickly hid itself as fear took over seeing such sudden aggression. It couldn't understand words yet but Astral Energy was something it could. Using that it could sense the aggression in the air as it backed off and shivered in fear. Kirel was too weak and young to fight anything at the moment. Hoping no one noticed it, it backed up towards one of the corners. Sadly one of the men slipped away from the fight once it saw the fox trying to run away. The Fox was their main objective so letting it escape wasn't an option. They knew how cruel Mason could be if given the chance and none of them wanted to face that.

"Come here you little fucker."

Punching another man Xelfia knocked him to the side as she saw Kirel getting grabbed.

"Kirel?!"
