"Water ray!" Azel said as he quickly aims his finger towards the mercenary's hand a thread like water came out of his fingertip penetrating the battle axe the mercenary is holding which made the mercenary drop his weapon.

  "Arrrrrgggghhh" the mercenary screams in pain as his hand starts spurting blood then before he can react any further Azel quickly aim for both of his knees and feet incapacitating the mercenary.

  "The lad is a mage capture him alive!!!" The slave trader orders the remaining four mercenaries making them rush towards Azel's direction.

  The four mercenaries then stood in front of him.

  " just give up already and we'll spare you some broken bones" the mercenary with a sword said as he point his blade towards Azel.

  Should i call for help now?. Azel thought to himself as he stares at the mercenary.

  Though i wonder what will Miho say once he found out i beat four people on my own. Azel started imagining scenarios in his mind as he unconsciously let out a chuckle.

  "Cocky brat you underestimate us? We'll see where that'll take you!!!!" The mercenary said as he swings his blade at at Azel.

  "Wait no that's not what i mea-" Azel said as he lowers his head to avoid the blade of the mercenary.

  The three remaining mercenaries charged at him with fist and the other two with blades as Azel does his best frantically dodging fist and multiple blades.

  Azel can feel blood dripping from his forehead as he does his best to avoid blows and blades that comes his way.

  "I need to finish this quickly" Azel said gasping as he holds into his bleeding forehead.

  The flurry of slashes and blows continues as Azel proceeds stepping back dodging then suddenly he fires multiple water rays in quick succession aiming at the mercenaries knees and feet making them collapse into the ground one by one.

  "You stupid brat" one of the mercenary says as he struggles to get up but eventually gave up as he passed out.

  "Now hand over the child" Azel said staring at the slave trader as he leans against the wall breathing heavily his hand holding into his bleeding forehead.

  The slave trader starts trembling turning his back then the wealthy person suddenly holds into his shoulder stopping him on his tracks.

  The slave trader stares at the wealthy person for a moment then the wealthy person gestures the hooded figure beside him.

  The hooded figure then nods as the hooded figure steps forward pulling out his staff and slamming it into the ground.

  the ground starts trembling then suddenly multiple vines filled with thorns emerged from underground.

  "Ohhh come on i just want to go home!!!" Azel said in a exasperated tone.

  Meanwhile, Pyra is still spectating the fight from outside.

  The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

  "Hey stupid priest he can use your help right about now!" Pyra said still peeking though the window as he watches Azel begging for help as he dodge multiple vines coming at him.

  The priest didn't respond.

  "Hey! You stupid pries-" Pyra turns to Francis direction just to see him lying in ground smiling while eyes closed.

  "I'm gowing to shave all shildrennn" The priest said evidently drunk.

  "Guuhhhhhh!!" Pyra screams in annoyance as she stomped her feet.

  "Everything is up to me again" Pyra said to herself letting out a sigh as she starts tying her crimson hair that extends to her shoulders.

  Inside the house, Azel continues dodging the vines that keeps growing out of the ground blocking his exit.

  "Help!!! Help!! Father Francis!!" Azel screams while dodging as vines chased him all over in a animalistic manner charging at him as if a snake that found it's prey.

  "Father franc-" Azel tries to scream again but was cut short as he hits his head into the wall in attempts to dodge the vines he passed out.

  Several minutes later Azel woke up he blinks as he found himself sitting in the ground then right in front of him he saw a girl in red hair with long ponytail fending off the vines.

  Am i dead? Is she an angel?. Azel thought to himself as he keeps blinking confused as he stares at the girl in front of him.

  "Well? Are you just gonna sit around?" Pyra said as she took a quick glance at Azel as she keeps punching the vines with her burning fists making the vines turn to ash on impact.

  I didn't thought my standards were that low to mistake her for an angel. Azel lets out a sigh as he then stood side by side with Pyra.

  "So what's the plan?" Azel said as he stares at Pyra that's still fending off the vines.

  "What else? I take care of the vines and you go after them" Pyra said as she took a quick glance at the slave trader and the wealthy person who seems to be having a conversation.

  "Got it" Azel nods in response.

  Pyra suddenly made a huge flaming uppercut clearing the path of vines.

  "Now!!!!" Pyra shouts as she keeps fending off the vines that keeps coming.

  Azel then sprints towards the slave trader's direction.

  "Guhhhhh!" Pyra screams which made Azel turn his head for a moment as he saw the red head getting overwhelmed as some thorns from the vines managed to hit her.

  Azel shook his head as he looks at the slave trader direction then into the hooded figure direction who's farther away.

  "Water ray!!!" Azel screams as he points his finger towards hooded figure hitting its hand making him drop the staff that he's holding and stopped the vines from coming.

  "You idiot i told you to go for them!" Pyra screams as he points at slave trader and wealthy person's direction.

  Azel just can't help but sigh as he then aims for the hooded figure's knee and foot incapacitating him which caught the slave trader and wealthy person's attention.

  "After them" said the wealthy person as his two remaining lackeys pulls out their sword from it's sheath then they quickly charged towards Azel's direction.

  "I don't think so!!!!" Pyra shouts as she rushes towards the two lackeys and when they're within her range she delivers an uppercut on one of the lackeys and a punch on the gut on the other with her burning fists.

  The slave trader and the wealthy person then runs on the direction of a door but before they can step outside a thread of water so fast passed their vision which then put a little hole on the wall.

  "Hand over the child" Azel said as he keeps his finger raised pointing towards the slave trader and wealthy person's direction.

  Several moments later....

  "Thank you" Azel said as he ties up the slave trader and the wealthy person.

  "Don't get it twisted i only saved you because i don't want that stupid priest to blame me" Pyra responds as she tightens the ties of the mercenaries.

  Right it'll be horrible if she gets blamed because of me. Azel thought to himself as he stood straight and made stretches.

  "Is the fight already over?" Comes a voice from outside Pyra glares towards the direction of the door.

  Azel braced himself as he points his finger on the door's direction just for Francis to step inside.

  "Ohhhh no! What happened to my children!" The priest said in a exaggerated manner holding into his chest as if he were hurt.

  Azel lowers his hand letting out a sigh of relief.

  "You've always knew what you were doing weren't you?" Pyra said glaring at Francis with her razor sharp gaze.

  "What do you mean i don't know what you're talking about" the priest denies as he avoids eye contact with the red head.

  "Go to hell you lying stupid priest!" Pyra shouts as she throws a wooden comb hitting the priest's head.

  "Anyways let me heal the two of you up" Francis said like he weren't hit in the head as he then approached Azel and cast a healing spell on his head.

  "Ohhhhh right father Francis about the child....." Azel said as he stares at Francis who's still healing him.

  "Where is it?" Francis asked concerned.

  "It's there" Pyra said as she points at a cage in a distance.

  Meanwhile at the carriage where Miho is in.

  "I wonder what's taking them so long" Miho sighs trying to steady his feet but the fidgeting of his feet continues.

  "You shouldn't have saved me" said a unfamiliar voice in a somber tone.

  Miho leans towards the curtains of the carriage trying to listen and get the full picture of the conversation.

  "Not save you? Do you know how much trouble we've been through?" Pyra snapped as she talks in a irritated tone.

  "Come on stupid priest, put him down and let me see how he'll handle himself" Pyra adds her voice grows increasingly louder

  "You know i can't do that he can't even stand on his own" Francis responds in a tired tone.

  Miho straightened his composure as the carriage curtains rustled Francis then pushed it aside the dim light reveals the figure of The priest and a kid on his back he lowered the kid gently settling him on the seat across Miho.

  Miho gasps as the sight of the kid brought flashes of his past life. The wheelchair, all the lies and sorrow had rushed back into his chest.

  Miho calms himself as he tried to muster a word.

  "HI........"
