[Rean point of view]

"Rean, buy me some time" [Sis Rafiah]

"Will do" [Rean]

It's a good thing that Brother Ash have thought this far ahead. He knew that the church really is against the idea of a human and a non human living together under the same room. Not to mention, we have a twin among us, something that causes them to despise us even more.

Brother Ash will usually give more mana to Housey than usual when he's going out, so I don't think Housey will be severely damage, more like a temporary shut down, but

(For them, I guess this is way more than enough) [Rean]

Calm down, be like Ray, slowly analyzing the situation.

If this is done as an act if hatred towards us or Brother Ash, they wouldn't even be bother to use Sis Rafiah's friend as a meat shield. That strange staff with her, it must have been tampered and redesign specifically to deliver a blow toward Housey and thus seal it away.

She's a suitable candidate, she can freely come in and out from the orphanage (as compared to other members of the church), and thus, she must have leakad out a thing or two towards them for the success of this operation

"Light spear!" [Old follower A]

~Slash~

A spell directed towards me, I guess this man must be really piss with me right now

"Ohh... he's strong" [Old follower leader]

"Light spear! Light spear! Light spear" [Old follower A]

A multitude of spell being released, but

"MEOW!" [Behe]

Behe, being a child of a Light Behemoth, simply block it for me, before unleashing a wave of light mana to interrupt with the staff

"Damn you!" [Old follower goon A]

A torch is thrown toward us, and along with it, is a container reek of oils

"Now! Explode!" [Old follower goon C]

.

.

.

"Nice job Charlotte!" [Rean]

"Hmm!" [Charlotte]

She might be having a fever right now, but throwing a water spell or two is still a small thing for her. They even tried to set fire to our garden, so Charlotte simply use a mini shark missiles of her, but

"It's the same size as Brother Ash one!" [Elise]

"It's good then!" [Mara]

"But Charlotte is!" [Kara]

"Savel, what are you doing!" [Zerolith]

"Ughh..." [Savel]

While Charlotte controls her water shark missiles, Savel throws multiple Ice javelin imbued with his own mirage magic

"When did you!?" [Karon]

We all wonder the same, not to mention the power behind it, it might not be enough to fatally damage the goon, but

"What, what are you doing!" [Old follower F]

"Die heretics!" [Old follower G]

The one being hit by the Ice javelin, all of them are in a state of confusion, hitting each other.

(Now!) [Rean]

Flame, gather around my blade

"Watch out!" [Old follower C]

"!" [Old follower leader]

When the enemy is in a state of chaos, it's a perfect time for us to strike! And by taking the head of their leader, the chaos will become uncontrollable, that's what Master Jacks had thought me

~Neck slice~

"Rean!" [Farhah]

"Tchh!" [Rean]

I wonder why, I kill a person, and I should feel bad about it, but... I simply don't, and more than that, I'm simply piss by the fact that one of them shield the leader

"You have done well my child" [Old follower leader]

"Lea..." [Old follower A]

"Here, I will heal you" [Old follower leader]

"Not today!" [Kronbir]

With a vase in his hand, he tries to knock the leader head, but, a spear was thrown from outside by the goon and pierce his shoulder,

"""ATTACK!!!" [Goon]

"What should we do?" [Kara]

"Everyone, stand back!" [Sis Rafiah]

"Right!" [Rean]

Looks like Sis Rafiah is ready, and a giant stomp can be heard coming from the training hall.

(Looks like Housey and Grandpa Claude is still fighting with us) [Rean]

They might be weaken, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't help us. With Sis Rafiah acting as a mediator, they must have summon that thing

"It's, is that a!" [Old follower E]

"A giant commander zombie!" [Goon]

"But it's still an undead, so light magic should do the trick!" [Old follower C]

~Smirk~

Sis Rafiah simply smile, hearing those words. They all concentrated on defeating the zombie summon by her, burying it with light magic after light magic but

"It, it ate the light magic!" [Goon F]

"What, what kind of creature is that!?" [Old follower F]

Still, it movement is quite fast for a monster, not to mention Housey influence is weaken right now, how did this zombie have so much power behind it attack?

(Did Sis Rafiah do something and tamper the zombie?) [Rean]

That's only possible if one is a witch... so could she be one? Better ask her next time. I don't want to disturb her concentration, she did a wonderful job controlling the zombie, warding off our unwanted guest

"Die!" [Goon C]

~Stomp~

"RAFIAH!" [Old follower A]

"He's back!" [Singa]

"I thought Rean already finish him off?" [Elsa]

~Stab~

"Out of my way you damn brat!" [Old follower A]

A hard blow to my scalp, and not only that, a close range light spell that blown me away. That's unexpected, it's almost like he enter a state of berserk

"Rean!" [Sis Rafiah]

"You should worry about yourself more!" [Old follower leader]

"Not on my watch!" [Bond]

Mr Bond tries his best to defend Sis Rafiah. But...

"Mr Bond!" [Cupid]

With the strange staff, the leader simply chain him to the ground, before delivering a blow that knocks him out flat.

"Ohh... he's tough. One would normally die from it" [Old follower leader]

Get up! Get up! Get up!

Have to protect them at all cost!

"Water sphere!" [Charlotte]

Charlotte put up a defensive barrier to protect us all. Just in a nick of time to safe Sis Rafiah from the fist of her own friends

"Everyone! Fire some spell from behind this barrier!" [Rean]

"Right!" [Other]

And so as per my instructions, they fire off some spells to ward them off. Everything is going smoothly so far until

"Just in time" [Old follower leader]

"?" [Rean]

~Loud explosion~

"The zombie!" [Sis Rafiah]

"This, this is simply outrageous. That's why such valuable tool can't be left in a hand of a commoner, much less to a traveler" [Knight captain]

"Agree, come. We shall take it from them" [Duke's wife

"Just when did they?" [Zerolith]

I see, it's naive of me to think they would just attack alone. That's the Duke family, the one where their son try to abduct and force marriage upon Sis Alice

"Here, I will lend you all the goddess aid!" [Old follower leader]

A stream of light pour out from his staff, enhancing all of his allies, and thus

"Take this!" [Old follower A]

~Sonic burst~

The wall of water, it's gone now. It's simply too strong for Charlotte to handle it, and the zombie

"Tchh!" [Sis Rafiah]

"Got you!" [Old follower C]

"Sis Rafiah!" [Farhah]

"Ze.. Zerolith!" [Sis Rafiah]

"Ohh... admirable, for a devil like you to safe other" [Old follower E]

The two of them, they're pierce by a single spear, and they're loosing blood!

"Stop it!" [Rean]

I'll gather all the flame that I could and drove them out

"Hot! Hot! Hot!" [Duke's soldier]

Not enough! I'll use the blessing as well!

"This dark flame!" [Knight Captain]

"Everyone, attack that dark hair boy!" [Duke's wife]

"Yes" [Other]

This is bad, but

(If it means that they wouldn't hurt them, then bring it on!) [Rean]

"Freeze my enemy, ice age" [Savel]

A cold wind, gradually becoming stronger and stronger, coming from Savel, and the icy bluish dragon tattoo, it's activated, plus

(He looks like he can transform into a dragon anytime soon...) [Rean]

I thought a dragonewt evolved beastly transformation doesn't exist... and I don't think Savel have shown it before.

"Keep it up Savel!" [Singa]

"Right!" [Savel]

That's what he said, but

"It stops..." [Old follower A]

"Now!" [Old follower leader]

The tattoo mark, disappear, guess there's a limit to it

All of them drew their weapon and try to stab each one of us. Cupid tries to beg them for mercy, offering herself but

"A deer horn will fetch a good price wasn't it..." [Duke's wife]

She grab Cupid's horn, trying to tear it off. Elsa and Kronbir, who tend to Sis Rafiah and Zerolith quickly try to protect her but

""Ughh..."" [Kronbir, Elsa]

"Don't you dare touch my lady!" [Knight Captain]

They're... no...

"Behead them!" [Duke's wife]

Stop! Stop! Stop!

"STOP!" [Charlotte]

Charlotte burst. A tsunami of water, not knowing friends or foe, strike us all. Now, she's the one having the dragon tattoo mark on her cheek

"This is too much!" [Old follower leader]

He snapped, and bring out a strange stone. That's

"The portal stone!" [Rean]

This is bad, he is closed to Savel, Charlotte and Cupid, should he retreat by using it, they will get dragged along

.

.

.

(No, I'm sure he wanted to drag them with him!) [Rean]

I won't let you take my family away from me

"Charlotte stop! Get away from him!" [Rean]

"NO! NO! NO! STOP HURTING US!" [Charlotte]

A beam of light illuminate the hall, and I can hear the leader say

"Objective secured" [Old follower leader]

"DON'T!" [Rean]

But it is too late, they're all gone, along with Savel, Charlotte and Cupid

.
