352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4LpgGSinA
"Take some of us with you" Andre says.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEldQvzHBI
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.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq2RqNbl2b
"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.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9eZi2Q9qd
"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.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rCGv7cQB2
The rest of the group looks dejected. Clara looks between Raphael and Benjamin with apprehension.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytrYWRjqO3
"Take me with you an..." Benjamin tries to say but is cut short.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX5vSNUP0A
"No" Raphael says cutting him off.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNx2K6sh1T
"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."
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEwc7BO9ql
Benjamin looks at Raphael with uncertainty.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRPgM4BJ66
"Just... be careful, we'll return home together" Benjamin.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1jmRS7SB3
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.

Everyone is contributing to the attack but there's not enough power to break their formation.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLQOtolOjP

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM60x4Y7Wg
As Raphael materializes amidst the battle, the group's attention swiftly gravitates towards him.

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.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZHWze0lib
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.

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvVcbagIWG
"Aria give me support, Neil you'll take the group with you past the corporation, just focus on defending."
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcb1Cqq2PK
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."
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE85AjIsl4
"Talk all you want, that's the only thing you'll be able to do from now on." Raphael says his eyes glowing brighter.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDUIa1vmP6
"Letting the anger get the best of you, I'm disappointed." David says with a smile.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu2DGEFMyR
As tension thickened in the air, Raphael squared his shoulders, meeting David's accusing gaze with disdain.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x57iefXCy
"Save your lectures for later, David. Right now, I have a battle to win and you one to lose." Raphael responds.

"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.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhKcsGKJmJ
"Of course I didn't forget about you, Instructor Erick."
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU8AhkaaiR
David "You thought you could escape? Think again."
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqle042nCF

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT82EBEtVN
"Already tir..."
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmwxzHh9c5
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.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkk64AmHQ9
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.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoNdUdDHJM
"Fuck you" David shouted, right after Raphael kicked Erick, sadly he got up before he could do the same to him.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4Fo5QoE7U
"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.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS1Hp3kPw7
"Two levels 7 reduced to nothing" Raphael says disdainfully.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKev45Nmez
“There was a time you seemed unreachable.”
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeFfwDK9Om
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.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNvsFKy2D0
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.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN0okZ6pS4
"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.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoHoDhBzlX
"It's done, Neil raise a barrier around you all,right now and Aria, take care of me." Raphael says while winking towards her.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj9U4IS9Dk
Neil does exactly as told without questioning him, erecting his barrier. Aria gives him a startled look but quickly understands what he means.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2APHKoeQW2
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.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaollY86H4
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.

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGpnxgWADH
The essence bullet was cast on time and is headed towards Raphael.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmoAAsLQCQ
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.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4k9xn1bXt
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.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFC2VCcKEa

With Liam's assistance, they managed to subdue the remaining soldiers, their combined efforts pushing back the last remnants of resistance.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITAXp6NnaD
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.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr22ZCr0rti

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0l7rzZyxH
Aria looks at him and doesn't answer, focusing on levitating the unconscious ones as they get out to reunite with the other group.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimFHXt9rDw
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.
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXEoXJQHPa
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.
