A couple minutes later…
Bella entered the guild building first, her body brimming with shadows and darkness energy, and her eyes glowing with a violet hue. The air around her distorted with her power, ready to lash out at the first sign of danger.
Nina and Arael followed immediately behind her, both summoned and prepared for combat. Nina's gauntlets were already ignited with flame. Arael hovered just above the ground, with two black projectiles floating at her sides in waiting.
Ethan entered last, with Ragnarok in his hand. His eyes swept the room with sharp intensity, searching for threats, traps, anything out of place.
But what he found was worse.
His team lay scattered across the guild lounge, and they were all wounded and gasping in pain.
The wolves were sprawled near the far wall, their fur matted with blood. Percival was on his side, with one arm clutching his ribs in shallow and labored breaths.
