Chapter 4

The Bishops

Ryia has no regard for what would happen around her. She couldn't care less that she’ll destroy the mansion for the second time, not that she cared the first time.

The unrelenting arcane force she uses makes a big mess in the entrance hall.

There are a lot of slice marks and bullet holes through the walls; the chandelier is lying in a shattered state on the floor, the ceramic pieces of the house plant vases mix in with the tiny glass shards that scattered around.

My eyes wander around the mess as the three continue their all-out battle.

I sigh to myself when I realise how much it would cost to restore the mansion again without Allyn’s reconstruction spell. The girl already went home this morning to avoid the chaos that we expected to take place, and I would feel like a total bitch making Faust summon her again.

Contradictory to the night at the lake, she looks to be overwhelmed with their coordinated attack as they utilise Bran’s short-range portals. Allyn had refined the portal stone before she left and now there were but a few seconds in between each porthole formation.

Dain is using the portals to attack from different directions which divides Ryia’s attention from Bran who effectively uses his blood to make different bullets like smoked and exploding ones. The duo is showing just half of their offence potential with their synchronisation which makes it hard for the witch to keep up. I’d be lying if I said I’m not proud of my boys.

Considering they are at full strength now, unlike the last time when they’ve already used most of their energy against the group of Guardian Witches Ryia had brought with her, they are playing this game on their own terms. To be honest, they could quite easily overpower her. But the two seem to be enjoying this charade. They could kill her if I wanted them to, but the objective is not to kill her.

It’s to capture her.

They only have to exhaust her energy. So far, they’re doing good. But it won’t be easy to take this witch down.

Her scarlet eyes betray how much energy she’s already exerted. She’s draining out slowly, and when she does, it’ll make it easier for us to wrap this thing up.

I can see the burning frustration in her scarlet eyes as it darts across the room, trying to keep up with Dain’s swift movement, and Bran’s bullets.

Poor little Ryia.

In the past hour, she hasn’t managed to land a single scratch on either of them. I can understand her frustration. The high and mighty Guardian Witch has finally realised that she’s no match for the duo who no longer have the burden of protecting a helpless girl.

I know they were worried that I could have ended up as collateral damage back then.

Gaining back my memories became a great relief for all of us. Now, they don’t have to worry about me getting caught in between the flying bullets and the slicing arcane force.
