"Aria and Neil's group is being blocked outside the north hall by part of the corporation, what should we do Raphael, we can't let the corporation gather their forces." Benjamin says with urgency.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA3Pb1lJut8B
"I'll give them support" Raphael asserts.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAP9Gv7uPXI7
Clara stares at me and at the same time replies,
"not alone".
79Please respect copyright.PENANAdgi8W7Z3VN
"As Clara said, not alone" Benjamin repeats.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAYA9N1STPNY
"Take some of us with you" Andre says.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAq2H0j2471q
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.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAGDbF2Oql7d
"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.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAP7eGqijmFy
"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.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAot1Gy0zrGE
The rest of the group looks dejected. Clara looks between Raphael and Benjamin with apprehension.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAlUux29LHoV
"Take me with you an..." Benjamin tries to say but is cut short.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAAv807EtgKo
"No" Raphael says cutting him off.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA63CPV0fZ2R
"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."
79Please respect copyright.PENANA0HUGz0WIw2
Benjamin looks at Raphael with uncertainty.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAnATdMVgYaq
"Just... be careful, we'll return home together" Benjamin.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAxOxq8XuTwO
Raphael nods and begins activating his ability, causing the air to distort around him. In a matter of seconds, he teleports to where Aria and the group are, not exactly next to them, but close enough to see them engaging the corporation in combat.
79Please respect copyright.PENANACoFvonua46
Aria is using her telekinesis to attack.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAI8gIy2jWjt

79Please respect copyright.PENANAOKTTDbT4AL
Malik is healing the ones who are getting injured.
79Please respect copyright.PENANACS7KyYl3ki
24 soldiers against 14 of us, 2 of them are their instructors. Things are not looking good.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAY4vPeF9GtZ
Everyone is contributing to the attack but there's not enough power to break their formation.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAHD1QptfFrX
Raphael runs using essence to increase his speed and fortify his body and it doesn't take long for his presence to be noticed.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA6R3EcrL7Pp
"Raphael, came to help us" Liam shouts to the group.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA4XpRPtFkcM
As Raphael materializes amidst the battle, the group's attention swiftly gravitates towards him. Aria's telekinetic assault momentarily halts, her eyes widening in surprise before a flicker of hope ignites within them. Neil's barrier wavers under the corporation's relentless assault, and he turns his gaze towards Raphael, a mixture of relief and determination etched across his face.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAD6Wf2YPIGZ
Malik, pauses his healing efforts, acknowledging Raphael's presence with a nod. The rest of the group, though wearied from the ongoing battle, straightens their posture, renewed vigor coursing through their veins at the sight of his arrival.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAxaktS36hVi
"Raphael, you… came back" Aria's voice cuts through the air, infused with gratitude and urgency. "Any plans?"
79Please respect copyright.PENANAZdFeeEkONz
Neil's barrier flares with renewed strength as he shouts, "Glad you could make it, mate. We're barely holding on."
79Please respect copyright.PENANABB36FxKlpd
Liam, a hint of relief coloring his words, adds, "We could definitely use your strength, Raphael."
79Please respect copyright.PENANAxv48B48ufI
A water attack directed at Raphael is stopped by a violet barrier that he raised right before the attack could hit him.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAUozWZTKant
"You should do better than that," right after saying those words he sends a telekinetic attack crushing his opponent against the wall and making him pass out.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAlzdePs0RsC
"Aria give me support, Neil you'll take the group with you past the corporation, just focus on defending."
79Please respect copyright.PENANAfhrOUNENPR
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."
79Please respect copyright.PENANAC0Ku75Oc1d
"Talk all you want, that's the only thing you'll be able to do from now on." Raphael says his eyes glowing brighter.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAUeb5bJqNy3
"Letting the anger get the best of you, I'm disappointed." David says with a smile.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA29SfCvmrNX
As tension thickened in the air, Raphael squared his shoulders, meeting David's accusing gaze with disdain.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAj2gB6J3FOh
"Save your lectures for later, David. Right now, I have a battle to win and you one to lose." Raphael responds.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAgo4cCT2wzz
With a swift motion, Raphael raised a barrier of violet energy, deflecting a barrage of attacks from the advancing soldiers. His eyes gleamed with determination as he unleashed a powerful telekinetic blast, sending several soldiers tumbling to the ground.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAI8zHbivF50
Aria, her telekinetic abilities honed to extreme heights, joined the fray, her movements fluid and precise as she targeted the remaining soldiers with a barrage of psychic force. Soldiers were lifted off their feet, and thrown against the ground breaking part of it in the process.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAeYknFgekBZ
Meanwhile, Neil stood firm at the forefront, his barrier shimmering with resilience as he shielded the group from the corporation's relentless assault. With a commanding presence, he directed the group forward, urging them to press on.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAxvIdo2oHMP
Neil "Keep moving. We can't let them overwhelm us."
79Please respect copyright.PENANA8poyVyGSWf
Malik, his healing abilities put to the test, worked tirelessly to tend to the wounded, his hands glowing with a soothing green energy as he worked to restore his comrades to full health.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAzoi8WxiiXl
Liam, his eyes blazing with determination, fought with a ferocity born of desperation, his ice attacks freezing his adversaries in their tracks as he carved a path forward for the group.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAuWbHJ3KaYy
"Don't forget that I'm also here" says the other instructor before hurling sharp metal shards against Raphael who stopped them with his barrier.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA5roWBev8W6
"Of course I didn't forget about you, Instructor Erick."
79Please respect copyright.PENANA3hLtZfIY40
David "You thought you could escape? Think again."
79Please respect copyright.PENANA5nXdWR17nj
The wind howled around Raphael, threatening to knock him off balance as David directed his gusts of air with precision. Meanwhile, the other instructor sent sharp shards of metal hurtling towards Raphael, each one aimed with deadly accuracy.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAWLzdtjbcUa
Raphael gritted his teeth, his violet barrier shimmering with strain as he deflected the onslaught of attacks. Despite the odds stacked against him, he remained as resilient as ever, his determination unwavering as he faced down his instructors.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAzRcJDvixl2
Raphael "You can try to stop me, but you won't succeed. I've come too far to let anyone bring me down."
79Please respect copyright.PENANAA6Gvfl3yFz
Raphael unleashed a barrage of telekinetic attacks, aiming to disrupt the instructors' focus and gain the upper hand. His attacks clashed with their powers, creating a dazzling display of elemental chaos as the battlefield erupted into a whirlwind of wind and metal.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAhM04HAgKa6
Aria, sensing Raphael's predicament, nodded in understanding as she redirected her telekinetic assault to provide support for Neil and the rest of the group. Her attacks intensified, creating openings in the corporation's defenses and allowing Neil to guide the group past their adversaries.
79Please respect copyright.PENANASuw4SZN3Fe
Aria "Raphael, we've got your back. Keep them busy, we'll handle the rest."
79Please respect copyright.PENANAfilLJo2ByL
Neil, his barrier glowing with strength, urged the group forward, “keep moving, everyone."
79Please respect copyright.PENANAzyt2jq8Wot
With determination, Raphael continued to hold his own against the instructors, creating a violet barrier trapping himself and his instructors inside.
79Please respect copyright.PENANARqpHfAMALk
"Ha." Escaped Raphael's mouth.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAXhYfPTwnpX
"Already tir..."
79Please respect copyright.PENANAEumVwtgm61
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.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAQykqRpD1uN
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.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAzyoh8oje4F
"Fuck you" David shouted, right after Raphael kicked Erick, sadly he got up before he could do the same to him.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAbr6Tn96ZHJ
"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.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAPBOkNzxIOv
"Two levels 7 reduced to nothing" Raphael says disdainfully.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAX7x3VAi8kh
“There was a time you seemed unreachable.”
79Please respect copyright.PENANAAee2sTHLeb
David struggles, hitting the barrier with punches and his wind ability while cursing, but his struggle does not matter, as in no time he falls to the ground passed out.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAEORSCPZDXZ
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.
79Please respect copyright.PENANARUklRaOKPx
"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.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAUGHaxpR9Br
"It's done, Neil raise a barrier around you all,right now and Aria, take care of me." Raphael says while winking towards her.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAmmDXH1jfr1
Neil does exactly as told without questioning him, erecting his barrier. Aria gives him a startled look but quickly understands what he means.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAJGWqvIXBd7
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.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAQ18gNAGwej
His hair starts turning white and he passes out, blood leaking from his ears.
4 soldiers passed out, the rest will not be able to recover without a healer, Raphael's side has won.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA30sZgGHkeG
Liam manipulates his essence to create whips, attacking the last of the already hurt soldiers with Aria's help.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAkCuVvi9c81
"It's all your fault you prick, take this" A soldier seeing that he's going to lose at any moment decides to use everything against the one who caused all this.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAokWUcMaLpc
"Thump" he falls to the ground knocked out by Liam.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAGJhfPjWa7V
The essence bullet was cast on time and is headed towards Raphael.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAroalnOhN6i
Raphael's body lay motionless on the ground, his once vibrant aura now dimmed as the essence bullet closed in on him with deadly intent. Aria, her eyes widening in horror, reacted swiftly, summoning her telekinesis just in time to intercept the bullet before it could reach its target.
79Please respect copyright.PENANABdxR7nBXP5
The impact reverberated through the air, sending shockwaves rippling across the battlefield. Aria gritted her teeth, her powers strained under the pressure as she fought to maintain her ability, her focus unwavering as she protected her fallen comrade and most important person.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAVU6KN0rFAG
Neil, his barrier flickering with what was left of his essence, moved to reinforce Aria's defense, his presence a stalwart shield against the corporation's final onslaught. With Liam's assistance, they managed to subdue the remaining soldiers, their combined efforts pushing back the last remnants of resistance.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAISQLnVpRqF
As the dust settled, Aria knelt beside Raphael's prone form, her heart heavy with concern as she surveyed his injuries. The strain of battle had taken its toll on him, his once formidable strength now depleted in the aftermath of the fierce confrontation.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAcdpVuLmuGJ
"We need to get him to safety," Aria said, her voice tinged with urgency as she glanced around at their depleted ranks. "Malik cure him as we get out."
79Please respect copyright.PENANAM6jaWGSTFi
Malik looks at the ground dejected before answering "I used all my essence, it will take sometime to replenish it."
79Please respect copyright.PENANA5cNnkjQDW9
"He will not die if that's what you're so afraid of, he's resilient, you know it." Malik says.
79Please respect copyright.PENANApXrdjCOpFU
Aria looks at him and doesn't answer, focusing on levitating the unconscious ones as they get out to reunite with the other group.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAlS6c9TZhTo
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.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA1eYErK7qrY
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. Aria, her arms cradling Raphael's unconscious body, moved with determined purpose, her gaze focused ahead as she led the group to safety.
