The Rescue (2)

Junica grinned as she nodded. Jonah then continued talking to the group.

"We know there are enemies within that place! We do not know how many there are or if they have alternative means of escape. This is the plan!"

They all listened carefully.

Jonah added, "Junica will make a sweep of the place to see where the hostages are, how many enemies there are and how many escape routes they have."

Everyone agreed in unison.

"Upon determining that, Moran and Sofia will seal each exit. You can't let anyone escape," he then continued before looking at the mentioned.

The two young mages nodded in unison, and their timing was strangely perfect in Malcom's eyes.

Malcom patiently listened to further instructions.

"Albert and Clare will enter upfront. They will make a great fuss. They will attract everyone's attention. Jessika will open a portal to the Hostages where Junica, Malcom, and I will go to look for them."

They all nodded instantly. Everyone was clearly ready and prepared to move out.

But before jumping into action, Jonah reminded, "If for some reason you can't open a portal to the hostages, collaborate with Sofia and Moran, Junica. If she can't enter, you will have to protect the hostages until the boys get to them. Is that clear?"

Junica nodded. She then looked at Jonah lustfully before getting closer to him.

"I love that you boss me around like I'm one of your boys. When will you give me my suit?" She asked with anticipation.

"You still want a suit? You are not Flawed!" Jonah retorted before he smirked. Junica shook her head as if she was resigned.

But after a second, she gave off a mischievous smile. Junica then advanced to the edge of that roof. She raised her hand and then muttered.

In one of her hands, the spirit of a butterfly appeared, while in the other, the spirit of a rat was created.

Everyone looked at them curiously, and both spirits shot towards the enemy's hideout.

Malcom looked at her curiously and could not help but ask, "Won't they notice the magic of your spirits?"

Junica smiled and said.

"If they notice, that only means that a very high-level mage will be there. That in itself will be a confirmation," she explained with a smile.

Malcom nodded. Junica's statement made so much sense.

Junica patted Malcom's shoulders before adding, "You are a cautious boy. I like you!"

He looked at her in surprise. Malcom had never talked to Junica before. There was no chance before, but he didn't hate her for some reason.

Another thing that he was surprised about was that, Junica being carefree around him. After all, Malcom just defeated Bill Chass, the supposed successor to her.

Junica seemed like the type of woman who was always smiling and pleasant.

Malcom was observing her discreetly. At this time, she was watching the spirits enter the lair of the Church of the Four.

The rat and the butterfly went all over the place without being seen. They identified how many enemies and where the hostages were.

Junica looked at Jonah with a smile and then said, "Seven wizards, three emergency exits, two hostages!"

Upon hearing this, Jonah grinned. He glanced at Albert and Clare, who both responded with a serious nod.

Albert suddenly held Clare tightly by the waist before throwing her in the air. In a blink of an eye, Albert shot out the door to get away from her as soon as possible.

While in the air, Clare took off her restraining collar. Just as she did that, a huge bolt of lightning struck her instantly.

She, with that power, shot towards the door of the lair, destroying it instantly. The assault had begun.

Inside the catacombs, a man walked calmly, and he carried a sandwich in his hand while looking at one of his companions.

"Explain to me again why do we have to be here?" The man asked.

His partner gave a frustrated snort while seeing who spoke.

"Dude! You were at the meeting too. You heard what the boss said. All the sacrifices must be sheltered in different places... to mislead." While he said that, it was like looking at the other man as if he was talking to a fool.

That made his partner annoyed. He bit his sandwich first, savagely, before responding with his mouth still full, "That's clear to me! I'm not stupid, but my question is, why should we be here?" After he said that, he pointed to himself.

He then continued, speaking, "Bones isn't even here! Neither he nor his men, so why are we still here?" He questioned, exasperated.

The other man looked at him weirdly before releasing a tired sigh. "Do you want the hostages to take care of themselves?" He asked his partner with impatience.

Before the sandwich man could answer, a huge crash sounded at the front door.

All the guards ran in that direction to see what had happened. The first thing that they noticed was a woman whose hair was rising all over the place. Electricity was visibly coming out of her body.

"Good Morning!" Clare greeted with an evil grin.

The men got into a fighting position, and she pounced on them and began to fight. The guy with the sandwich thought about facing her but seeing her moving at such extreme speed, he decided to drop the sandwich and ran in the opposite direction.

Clare jumped from one place to another at the entrance, driven by the thunder dodging the attacks that her enemies made against her.

In a flash, she had defeated two of her enemies when one of them made his eyes shine, and placing his hands on the ground made a huge number of dead come out of a room to attack the girl.

She saw them and prepared for combat. She was preparing to attack them when Albert passed from her side at full speed.

The young man ran at such speed that the summoned dead could not reach him.

In a matter of seconds, he reached the place where the mage who was summoning the dead was, and with a strong blow, he made him fly several meters back.

When seeing the dead, they did not fall, and Clare defeated them one after another.
