“So it’s true she traded her name away. Carol Summers was not a change of name but a temporary alias.” Assistant Professor Vyn landed back on the ground, panting: “If she hadn’t, that strike would’ve killed her and that wretched lycan. FUCK!”

“No matter.” Lucias Vyn took a look at the formation of her and Lady Marza O’Gul’s teams: “We have a window now. Onward! And go inside that bunker!”

“Go! Now! Before we lose our advantage and our chances!” Lady Marza O’Gul tossed a few more magical darts into the air and sliced through a few Nightmare Bat-wolves: “Go!”

Assistant Professor Vyn grabbed Lucias Vyn by the wrist, called upon two of the battle mages close to him and started gliding through the battlefield in low air towards the central bunker. Three Nightmare Bat-wolves lunged at them from different angles, but just with and hand seal they were blasted away.

“Stop them!” Carol Summers yelled from a distance at her team.

One magic bolt was launched by a cloaked sniper wielding a large crossbow aiming at the neck of Assistant Professor Vyn, but all he did was snapped his finger at the bolt, then a silver energy explosion occurred in midair and redirected the bolt into the waist of a Nightmare Bat-wolf. Then as he waved his hand in the air, a barrage of silver energy swords formed in the air and shot at the individuals from Carol Summers and Soren Lupei’s teams. All of the lycans and mages who tried to come forward were all pushed back, some of which even took the hits and had their limbs or entire body sliced open.

“Boom!” An explosion of green flames tore through the flurry of silver energy swords, Carol Summers and Soren Lupei lunged forward with the maid and Melkan, with their attacks ready to go.

“Go!” Assistant Professor cast a spell on Lucias Vyn, pushed her towards the entrance of the bunker, then he crossed his arms in the air and conjured a large silver three-headed energy serpent in front of him. And right at the moment it appeared, the three headed energy serpent blasted beams of energy at every Nightmare Bat-wolf, lycan and Carol Summers’ mage: “Open it now!”

Soren Lupei swung his claws in the air at the beams of energy directed at him and some of the lycans positioned close to him, and at the cost of a few burnt hairs and burn marks on his arms and shoulders he deflected or blocked all of them.

Carol Summers launched herself in the air to evade the energy beams and infused her energy into the six orbs, the orbs connected with each other with pale grey energy beams while spinning at a rapid speed, turning into a spinning energy disc. The spinning energy disc flew towards the three headed serpent in a winding trajectory, dodging all the energy beams and energy attacks attempting to strike it down, and eventually struck the serpent in its middle head.

The six orbs were pushed to an energy overload the moment they were embedded in the energy serpent’s body and streams of energy started flooding into the internal veins of energy of the energy serpent. And just in a few seconds’ time, the energy serpent shattered as if it was a fragile statue made entirely of glass.

The destruction of the construct reflected on the conjurer - Assistant Professor Vyn was thrown on his knees, choking blood. Soren Lupei descended from the sky with his claws burning in fire and ready to tear him apart, but he was able to cast a wind spell to propel him away to the side. 

While Soren Lupei’s attack tore a big hole on the ground, Carol Summers flew to another angle close to Assistant Professor Vyn, with an energy arrow in her hand ready to launch.

But just this moment, Carol Summers and Soren Lupei both heard a painful and angry scream from Lucias Vyn. When Carol Summers couldn’t help but look to the direction where Lucias Vyn was, she only saw a beam of completely black energy shot at her.

Death, it was the only thing this dark beam reminded her of.

A black dragon scale emerged in thin air in front of Carol Summers and turned into a shield floating between her and the dark beam. The beam collided with the dragon scale shield, and the shield exploded into ashes and smoke, throwing Carol Summers far away like a rag doll and out of the range of the dark beam. The beam itself, however, was redirected to the side due to the dragon scale shield, and it in turn penetrated Soren Lupei’s shoulder.

Soren Lupei’s entire body was torn apart from the inside by this beam and all the pieces of him turned to ashes in almost an instant. For a very brief moment Melkan and Carol Summers could see a grey transparent shadow of him being pushed out of his broken flesh and bones, which in the next moment was turned into nothingness as if it never happened.

“What the fuck was that!?” Melkan asked Carol Summers, who was thrown to a place not that far from him: “What, the fuck, was that!?”

Almost all of the lycans in the battlefield were stunned where they stood at the sight of the sudden and unexplained demise of Soren Lupei, the legend and one of the strongest leaders of their tribe. This gave the teams of Lady Marza O’Gul and Lucias Vyn a chance to regroup, and Assistant Professor Vyn to get into the underground bunker following Lucias Vyn and shut the metal door behind him.
