"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.

"I'll give them support" Raphael asserts.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtgkiHIUtp
Clara stares at me and at the same time replies,
"not alone".
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FO9tdzMbQ
"As Clara said, not alone" Benjamin repeats.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqiofxT897
"Take some of us with you" Andre says.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfguey6Bvb
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vELJAlLy2
"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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeoMNHsRGl
"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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIoiTBx0BS
The rest of the group looks dejected. Clara looks between Raphael and Benjamin with apprehension.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDv9dq0RwD
"Take me with you an..." Benjamin tries to say but is cut short.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfQfOTLlhJ
"No" Raphael says cutting him off.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SCMFXHUXS
"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."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE9FRFh4Wm
Benjamin looks at Raphael with uncertainty.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XRgkQTeVW
"Just... be careful, we'll return home together" Benjamin.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuhBqlkAzb
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.

394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL62QUPKON
Everyone is contributing to the attack but there's not enough power to break their formation.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiav1m6eGoP
Raphael runs using essence to increase his speed and fortify his body and it doesn't take long for his presence to be noticed.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ7t3IUqkJ
"Raphael, came to help us" Liam shouts to the group.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tHCQn1wQv
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nARK2z2ba
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODDMS0LXzk
"Raphael, you… came back" Aria's voice cuts through the air, infused with gratitude and urgency. "Any plans?"

A water attack directed at Raphael is stopped by a violet barrier that he raised right before the attack could hit him.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVIUIU4Beg
"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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RVoGZBnPF
"Aria give me support, Neil you'll take the group with you past the corporation, just focus on defending."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n5ZkNQ7PY
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."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qPAZwW80m
"Talk all you want, that's the only thing you'll be able to do from now on." Raphael says his eyes glowing brighter.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cS6btVX1L
"Letting the anger get the best of you, I'm disappointed." David says with a smile.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5lmxxXN9V
As tension thickened in the air, Raphael squared his shoulders, meeting David's accusing gaze with disdain.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWf2dXHGWQ
"Save your lectures for later, David. Right now, I have a battle to win and you one to lose." Raphael responds.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl95WxKIWIZ
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.

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.

394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVHve7zd5j
"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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0pPCZK9Um
"Of course I didn't forget about you, Instructor Erick."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxqDiI9OTd
David "You thought you could escape? Think again."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaruhMg8EkM
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIB9i0ImqL
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifGYwUDeUZ
Raphael "You can try to stop me, but you won't succeed. I've come too far to let anyone bring me down."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bFUCURlBk
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmmY0Wr5yD
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q9QMdipLE
Aria "Raphael, we've got your back. Keep them busy, we'll handle the rest."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAgNTbmgsb
Neil, his barrier glowing with strength, urged the group forward, “keep moving, everyone."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYKjNI2gnx

394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx3INauhhS
"Ha." Escaped Raphael's mouth.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53DW1AzdrA
"Already tir..."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gGHA2h2bq
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivaTXfeBcV
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ErAq9rAiM
"Fuck you" David shouted, right after Raphael kicked Erick, sadly he got up before he could do the same to him.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECyKNzuPQl
"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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNFOIw3zu3
"Two levels 7 reduced to nothing" Raphael says disdainfully.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM4JavimtL
“There was a time you seemed unreachable.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8XEgS8TgS
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn3APESFlO
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZpgMIHri9
"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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x2SXvx05y
"It's done, Neil raise a barrier around you all,right now and Aria, take care of me." Raphael says while winking towards her.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ6l5SYxDq
Neil does exactly as told without questioning him, erecting his barrier. Aria gives him a startled look but quickly understands what he means.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfGgVoBjw8
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXloA5M37vH
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0G7aiT8z9

394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUHBQ6MG6H
"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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa1ZO0aUGb
"Thump" he falls to the ground knocked out by Liam.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAXXToMqA2
The essence bullet was cast on time and is headed towards Raphael.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUuiQlZSRK
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9uNL625Sq
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSbkarh8h9
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1AypJdTBv
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTznQRIsI1i
"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."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhEP1GXibY
Malik looks at the ground dejected before answering "I used all my essence, it will take sometime to replenish it."
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsabBGc1iDx
"He will not die if that's what you're so afraid of, he's resilient, you know it." Malik says.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ChcbmFT8p
Aria looks at him and doesn't answer, focusing on levitating the unconscious ones as they get out to reunite with the other group.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaTrdTIkj2
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.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N35CFJ2DR
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.
