"Take some of us with you" Andre says.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87mThvlcmL
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWnq67RQAP
"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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfO2c9Rs9k
"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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fwcKa66um

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cjYJNN1qN
Benjamin looks at Raphael with uncertainty.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWDS73RJUE

"Aria give me support, Neil you'll take the group with you past the corporation, just focus on defending."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUfRjdv3F7
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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQPbqZoMQv
"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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzoh4qlgIQ
As tension thickened in the air, Raphael squared his shoulders, meeting David's accusing gaze with disdain.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4zmAQYWsu

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZtc9rSVzg
"Of course I didn't forget about you, Instructor Erick."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w3fcwEPOu

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0UNJKlewj

"Already tir..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ1iGO3piO
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjpYdRN3Qc
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1wz4KYIfJ
"Fuck you" David shouted, right after Raphael kicked Erick, sadly he got up before he could do the same to him.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalKnMIgTDN
"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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjig2naaOaQ
"Two levels 7 reduced to nothing" Raphael says disdainfully.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoylkMGOZQ
“There was a time you seemed unreachable.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4JsI3Z5Di
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVng8qUntC
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVGDKHEufq
"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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuL93Dtf6q
"It's done, Neil raise a barrier around you all,right now and Aria, take care of me." Raphael says while winking towards her.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtozwEWKscw
Neil does exactly as told without questioning him, erecting his barrier. Aria gives him a startled look but quickly understands what he means.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKDY31C7Lv
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3OLQq279V

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyQmGvl4iS

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6O2e3qv8E
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3x3RtdFS6

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlPq2SuuQ5
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC9sl9dvdj
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.
