The Messenger of Death Crashed down!

The fog kept expanding until it covered a radius of ten meters around Amelia, who had a smirking smile and vicious expression over her face. Once it reached this range, it stopped, and then glowed, like a small dark red sun.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a violent, and painful short roars echoed from the monsters trapped inside her fog. Arthur couldn't penetrate the fog with his senses, but he realized these monsters were killed. Once calmness prevailed, Amelia started to move around, heading straight towards the masses of monsters without any fear or hesitation, in a bold move that Arthur felt great admiration to.

'This is more interesting than I initially thought!'

It was his first time seeing a true mages in action, and he had to admit, he was impressed. Gregory was now slashing his sword, releasing arc after arc of strong slashed towards his opponents, rendering them heavily wounded or dead.

Though he and Clovert were strong, Amelia was in a league of her own. Arthur felt her movements, her attacks, her pattern of fight was somehow strange to his concepts, but he was sure she was a very experienced and veteran mage.

Arthur was always tempted by any new thing he never saw before, and now he was watching something he was totally bleak towards. Though he was surprised and tempted by Amelia, he kept moving around, putting all monsters into his ring without any delay.

As for Lily, she noticed that Arthur didn't say a word of opposition and kept doing the task he started, so she knew he accepted the interference of those strangers. She was mesmerized by the beauty and elegance of Amelia, the strong attacks she and the other two mages did, especially Clovert. After all, she was also aspiring to be an archer mage herself.

After getting over her shock, after a few minutes, she restarted her aerial attack over the monsters, as the sounds of explosions ranged once again at the base of the hill.

"It seemed nicer from far," Gregory muttered as he was hit by a wave of dirt, rushed up after an explosion happened near him. The fight seemed desperate to him and Clovert, who was at risk being far behind like that, so he picked up speed, and moved towards Arthur.

Arthur was keeping an eye on everyone, mainly on Amelia, so once Clovert moved, he knew he was targeting him.

Arthur didn't summon his Don here with him, as he knew Don wouldn't do any good to him. However, if Clovert intended something bad for him, then summoning Don was a necessity.

Clovert move was noticed by everyone, and Lily felt the most stressed out of them. she thought Arthur was risking it, by letting that man approach him like that, however she stopped from throwing an explosive rock on Clovert head, as she knew how strong Arthur was.

So, she just kept hovering nearby, as a failsafe measure, if things got out of control. Clovert once reached Arthur, he said as he continued releasing his arrows:

"Hi, sorry to come here on a sudden impulse, but waiting there at the back was quite dangerous."

His words weren't welcomed by any word from Arthur, who neglected him, and kept moving monsters into his ring. Seeing what Arthur was doing this near made Clovert more shocked, as he wasn't able to understand how this youth was able to make things disappear by just touching them.

But it wasn't the time for him to ask any question. He wasn't a young man anymore, as life honed his experiences and made him realize if he opened his mouth again, he would be doubted. Being doubted with such a mysterious man was lethal, very lethal.

So, he kept doing his work, totally ignoring Arthur, but keeping a safe distance between him. Arthur just kept an eye over him from time to time, while his main focus was on Amelia.

Amelia was on a spree of killing, anywhere she went to, monster bodies would literally be thrown everywhere. Arthur was speechless of her deadly attacks, which were all about this fog, and he was wondering if there were others like her, with this strange ability, in this world.

As he was dazed thinking about these, Clovert suddenly said:

"By the way, our girl here, that messenger of death, is going crazy. Her body can't withstand the spell she is continuously using."

Arthur faked moving his attention over her, but he had long noticed her irregular breathing. It seemed like she was panting, but he couldn't tell as half of her face was covered up by her raised collar. As he was watching her, openly like that, Clovert added:

"I think she can't continue doing this for one more minute."

Arthur's attention was piqued, even if his hands never ceased collecting monsters. "What will happen when she loses control?" he asked.

"Simple, she will lose her consciousness, or best be weakened, severely weakened, and so she will be an easy target for those beasts."

Arthur noticed the tone of Clovert, as he sharply turned to him while commenting:

"It's strange how you seem carefree about your partner, or leader?"

"Neither," Clovert shrugged, "she just joined the hastily made team of us three to join you," he, honestly, confessed, "and I guess she intended to go out from the start to impress you, and doing that would be risky. So, she needed others to take care of her when her body crashes, or that is what I think."

Arthur understood everything now, as he thought, initially, the three of them were one team. Now, he knew why the three were here, and he also knew why this archer was carefree about that girl.

Just as he was thinking about this, Amelia's body shook, and then she swayed. Luckily that fog was still present, protecting her from the monsters, highly vigilant, around her, but not for too long. Once her body started to sway, it seemed she lost control over her ability, making the fog starting to dissipate.

"Here she goes, what will you do, boss?" Clovert just asked, while he looked at Arthur, to find his spot empty. Just as he was puzzled by this, he glimpsed a shadow passing towards Amelia. It was Arthur, as he used his leg technique, slashed the monsters around Amelia's fog with his sword, before the fog completely vanished.

He wasn't that insane to put himself into that fog, especially when she was just safe inside it. once it vanished, he also vanished from the sights of everyone here, including Amelia, whose breaths were racing, her body was aching, and her vision was starting to go blurry.

She felt like she was carried on a soft, yet strong, cushion, and she felt like she was flying in the air. She didn't see Arthur when he held her body by his arms before she crashed on the ground. He didn't wait, as the monsters around the two of them weren't that patient, so he used his leg techniques, jumped towards the sky, then he pushed his leg against the air a couple of times, before reaching a level where he, and Amelia in his arms, were both higher than Birdy.

Lily was eyeing everything, and the moment she saw Arthur move towards Amelia, she knew he would ask for her help. She was the only person here away from danger, and so she moved Birdy to be near the place of the two.
