[Third Person's PoV]
Before Alpha disappeared she picked up the pendent of the little girl she was carrying.
When she dissappeared Iris clenched her fist until her palm almost bled "Shadow Garden, huh, I'll remember that name"
...
Alexia when faced with Zenon started thinking back to all the lessons Cid has taught her about magic and enhancing herself. She let the magic flow from her magic circuit onto her entire body making it stronger and with a kick to the ground she disappeared from where she was standing
She appeared infront of Zenon with her sword already in motion ready to strike him.
Zenon wasn't expecting for Alexia to be that fast, so due to her unexpected speed Zenon blocked the attack in an awkward position.
He, while giving her a smirk said "Will you look at that, the little princess has gotten a little stronger" with that he pushed her back giving himself some breathing room.
This time he decided to not underestimate her, he enhanced his figure with magic and started attacking her, swinging his sword at all her weak points, the head, the neck, her heart, anywhere where she would be in critical damage if his attack landed.
But Alexia wasn't letting those attack hit, she was blocking those attacks like she had experience blocking them.
'Luckily Cid would always target those spots while sparing, so this guys pathetic attacks are easily predictable. That just goes to show how amazing Cid is, it was only for a short 2 months and his teachings are saving my life... I think I'm falling deeper in love'
When Zenon tried to plunged his sword into Alexia, Alexia parried it by laying her sword on top of his causing sparks to fly. Alexia grinded her sword on his creating a counter attack, when she got close enough she made a diagonal cut across his chest.
The cut was extremely shallow due to Zenon enhancing himself but that didn't mean it didn't anger him at being cut by someone he considers weaker than him
"You bitch, just cause I went easy on you, you think you can go around and hurt me"
Zenon further enhanced himself and arrived infront of Alexia and swung his sword at full force and speed, Alexia tried to block it but her sword was already battered up before she picked it up causing it to break on impact
Luckily Alexia was already anticipating such actions as she moved out the way just in time and in that quick action she lowered her posture. She put her fist by her hand and elbowed Zenon at the very core of his being.
Zenon just went sliding backwards, he looked at Alexia in shock while he held his stomach in pain "How? How the hell did you grow so strong in such a short amount of time. That's impossible you're supposed to be an easy target"
Alexia then got into a martial arts stance and with a smirk said "You can just say I had a fantastic teacher"
....
While Alexia was dealing with her opponent, the member of Shadow Garden were doing their own thing.
Epsilon was seen infront a group of cult guards who had their swords drawn and ready to engage at her.
Epsilon didn't pay them any attention and started treating them like audience members
"I want to thank everyone for coming today for my special performance, my name is Epsilon, the Sin of Envy, and get ready to have your world ROCKED"
Epsilon swung her arms in a circular motion against her axe guitar enhancing the sound with sound magic blasting the surrounding area with her music.
As soon as she added sound magic all of the guards started going on their knees from the pain of having their ear drum busted which caused them to bleed from their ears and scream in pain.
"ARGHHHHH MAKE IT STOP, MAKE THE RINGING STOP"
Epsilon just started giggling and skipping her way towards them "Nope" she said knowing full well they couldn't hear her.
She then got infront of a cult guard and swung her axe at him completely decapitating him.
With a giggle she skipped her way up to the next cult guard and the next and the next until they were all exterminated.
She then bowed towards the corpses "Thank you for being such an amazing audience"
...
Gamma was seen flying all around the capital while laughing behind her hand
"hohohohohohohohohoho *cough* *cough* *cough*"
After patting her chest Gamma cleared her throat "much better"
Gamma then saw a group of the Knight Order going over to the members of Shadow Garden, ready to attack them from behind while they dealt with members of the cult guards
Gamma reached in between her chest and pulled out a long wand that fit perfectly in her hands, she kissed the wand and said "Thank you lord for your blessing"
Gamma pointed the wand towards the knights and conjured a wall out of earth stopping their advances
"I will not let you interfere in the affair of Shadow Garden so stay put"
One of the Knight clicked their tongue in annoyance "Why should we listen to her while our members are out there being killed by these black monsters... they're probably the possessed, they're controlling them and attacking our kingdom"
"How despicable"
"Quickly let's destroy this wall so we can save our fellow knights"
The Knights then started enhancing themselves and started slashing at the wall Gamma made. Seeing this Gamma pouted "How annoying"
She waved her wand once again and encased the entire order in a block of ice stopping their movements completely, not knowing if they can still hear her she still said "I don't know if you can still hear me but it will melt eventually in the meantime just sit tight"
One of the guard who did hear her and had just his head sticking out of the ice screamed out "JUST WHO ARE YOU, YOU CRAZY WITCH!"
Gamma just smirk at the question and laughed at the back of her hand again
"HOHOHOHOHOHO I am known as Gamma, The Sin of Greed. But that's all I'm willing to share"
Gamma wiggling her fingers waved them goodbye "Toodle loo"
With that she started doing her witch laugh and flew off into the distance where the other members of Shadow Garden may need her help.
...
Beta was jumping building from building while holding a bow made out of slime and cocking it back and conjuring arrows of different elements.
When she saw her lord's shadow soldiers she would help them out even though they didn't need it by shooting an arrow into the knee or wrist of the cult guards
Which would give the shadow the perfect opportunity to land the decisive blow and killing them.
Even though her help wasn't really needed Beta made their job quicker. Beta pulled back on her bow and summoned 3 arrow with her wind magic and fired them all the way to the other side of the capital where one of the shadow members they were training was getting ambushed.
All three arrows quickly arrived and they all penetrated through the head of the cult guards doing the ambushing.
Beta quickly summoned 2 arrows made out of ice and fired it at the feet of knights that were unnecessarily fighting the members of Shadow Garden.
Once they landed thee feet of the knights froze completely which gave the members of Shadow Garden the perfect chance to leave and continue with their mission.
Beta sigh and once again pulled back on her bow 'I guess no one will ever know about the sin of lust, if I'm going to forever be an archer. All my enemies are going to be dead long before they have the chance to even know me. And some won't even be able to spot me... I guess that's the sad life of Beta The Sin of Lust'
