The warlock cast a burst of magic over his shoulder as he bolted toward the corridor that led to the alley behind the bar, the hood of his outfit casting his face in shadows. Cassius batted the dark globe away with his sword.

Morgan cursed as it narrowly missed his head and smashed into the ceiling, melting metal and bricks.

“Sorry!” the Empyreal shouted over his shoulder before disappearing into the passage.

Morgan and the others followed, Suzie at their side.

The witch flashed a frown at Morgan. “Argonaut had better pay my repair bills after this!”

“Argonaut will give you a goddamn medal after tonight!”

“Medals are for fools,” the witch scoffed. “I prefer cold, hard cash!”

Zach laughed at that. “A woman after my own heart.”

The witch smiled at the demon despite their dire situation.

The bitter stench of dark magic and the sulfurous taint of the warlock’s powers slammed into them as they rushed through the back door and emerged into the alleyway.

“Watch out!” Julia barked.

She deflected a destructive spell with her blade. Morgan and Adrianne blocked the ones that followed.

Suzie and Bailey joined forces, their magic fusing to form a shield around them. Dumpsters blew up on their left and several craters formed in the asphalt and the opposite wall as a volley of dark spheres bounced off the defensive barrier.

Morgan scowled at the hooded sorcerers surrounding them. It was clear they intended to stop him and the others from following Cassius where the angel chased after the warlock to their right.

“We’re going to have to drop our shield if we want to help him!” Suzie warned.

“Do it!” Morgan ordered.

The barrier vanished as Suzie and Bailey retracted their defensive spells.

Ozone and magic saturated the air as they engaged their attackers. It didn’t take long for the Aerial to realize that their enemies were all Level Two and Three magic users.

Adrianne’s offensive magic brought a sorcerer to his knees. The man snarled as Charlie’s enchantment spell covered him in a dark haze. He dropped to the ground, semi-conscious.

Suzie sent a sorcerer flying toward the fire escape above her head, her eyes and hands aglow with magic. The man’s scream ended abruptly as he smashed into metal.

Bailey and Zach fended off a double attack to the witch’s back, the wizard’s rune-covered blade humming with defensive magic while the demon cast a wave of water that lifted the sorcerers off their feet and sent them crashing into the wall across the way.

Morgan unfurled his wings and rose on the updraft, his heart thundering in his chest and his gaze locked on Cassius and the warlock. Metal glinted as he flew over a line of sorcerers. He rolled and twisted, avoiding the poison-coated daggers aimed at him. Startled shouts sounded as he shoved his attackers into the ground with a violent burst of wind. The asphalt cracked and rose around the sorcerers as they tried to rise, Julia using her Terrene powers to entrap them in a prison of rock.

A tide of sinister energy blasted into Morgan’s body, slowing his flight.
