"Take some of us with you" Andre says.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTHye2GIXu
In his friends' eyes, Raphael can discern their determination, even if not all of them vocalize their thoughts. However, he knows he can't risk endangering anyone, the preparations and effort to escape the base were too great to let even one more person get in danger.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yMud7MZBN
"There's not much time, I'll go alone, you know how strong I am, my essence power is at level 7.3 there's no way I'll fail" Raphael says knowing his chances of success are high, higher than any of his friends.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaC0mMfHgb
"You know it will not be easy even for you, you're strong no doubt about it but we got the easy way with our group and you know it, we only needed to incapacitate some guards without letting them alert anybody, sadly we could not anticipate that they had an ability user of sound waves that triggered the alarm." Benjamin says dejected.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAwl5AFb1t
The rest of the group looks dejected. Clara looks between Raphael and Benjamin with apprehension.

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwnBRdsjmv
"No" Raphael says cutting him off.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEwbOxBJ7a
"Don't look at me like that, you know I'll not be alone, Aria, Neil and the group are there to cover me too if necessary."
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCMSbdF5Cs
Benjamin looks at Raphael with uncertainty.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XaHm4onf6
"Just... be careful, we'll return home together" Benjamin.

Everyone is contributing to the attack but there's not enough power to break their formation.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCaTjFUXMc

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKt6sH3hAu

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dfTxccGak
"Aria give me support, Neil you'll take the group with you past the corporation, just focus on defending."
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClaeXMKYrh
David one of the instructors stares at Raphael with eyes that seem to blame him for everything that happened. "You're not escaping from here, we should have known something was wrong but how could we know that violet eye would be the reason all of our plans would be ruined."
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItsYlJ9J1o
"Talk all you want, that's the only thing you'll be able to do from now on." Raphael says his eyes glowing brighter.

"Letting the anger get the best of you, I'm disappointed." David says with a smile.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva9HfZ4A27
As tension thickened in the air, Raphael squared his shoulders, meeting David's accusing gaze with disdain.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu8zeJZmvU

Before they had the time to respond, dizziness came over them with the disappearance of the oxygen, followed by a telekinetic attack pinning them to the ground the best it could.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ4nzlVl5U
Both the instructors started doing their best to break free, but Raphael didn't give them the time starting by reinforcing his senses and body with his aura, before they could stand up he kicked Erick in the head with enough force to kill a level 6 essence user instantaneously,making him convulse on the ground.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLO6o2Bu2t
"Fuck you" David shouted, right after Raphael kicked Erick, sadly he got up before he could do the same to him.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog6U3R0XYR
"Now that it's you and me alone, you lost your chances at winning." Raphael says while trapping him in a barrier and taking the oxygen out.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZcZrbYsKV
"Two levels 7 reduced to nothing" Raphael says disdainfully.

Raphael's chest heaving strongly to catch his breath, the strain of channeling his essence power to teleport, raising barriers,using telekinesis and manipulating the oxygen taking their toll on his body. Sweat dripped down his brow as he surveyed the battlefield, his senses heightened as he remained on guard against any further threats.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiRGWDSb62
"7 more to go, 7 of us are already passed out and Neil's barrier is doing the bare minimum, but it doesn't matter, they already did enough." Raphael starts running towards the battle.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXtLgZxqdv
"It's done, Neil raise a barrier around you all,right now and Aria, take care of me." Raphael says while winking towards her.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA4jnv8an7

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2QcMDB2LQ
In less than a second an ear-splitting song boomed through the room, its relentless intensity pounding against eardrums like thunder, rupturing the eardrums of all outside the barrier including Raphael.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1klfv6dWS

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo4zOhhjBP

480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdivpeYhOf
Neil nodded in agreement, his expression grave as he surveyed the battlefield. Aria decides to carry Raphael unconscious body on her arms instead of levitating him like the others.
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWhNdNykM7
As they made their way out of the north hall, the weight of their recent battle hung heavy in the air, a somber reminder of the dangers they faced within the corporation's stronghold.
