Alari didn't like the idea of Sybil getting out in any form, especially when they were already dealing with enough chaos as it was.
He wasn't sure what to think about her words either, if it was someone else he'd seriously consider the help but going off their previous encounters with Sybil he didn't trust her not stirring up more trouble. He closed his eyes for a moment trying to pick up Larel's traces but they were being blocked, he grit his teeth at that as he literally read the life sources of people, how Kaori was able to cut that off completely bothered him. Kaori had been around them all this time, or Murio...whoever this person was he knew so much about them, which meant he knew just how to hide Larel from them, but he also knew what they could do.  He had seen so much from them, there wasn't a moment when Kaori wasn't watching.
"Let's not forget this Murio's information....we don't know how long he's been watching us. At some point he took Kaori's place...I'm thinking when he started acting really strange...which is hard to mark exactly. He might know what to expect...and that might include Sybil since Kaori was there to watch her fight not once but twice."

Alari clenched his fists which also put them in a bad spot, he knew what to expect from Mera, Hotaru and himself too he didn't like this, there was too many openings he could exploit but he wasn't acting for some reason.
"Also...I don't think anyone's fought this man before...he knew the Elder language...only two kinds of people know that language. Elder Youkai or those it was taught too...and seeing how most faded away millennial's ago and they didn't teach it to just any passing Youkai, this Murio is a big problem. Either he's an Elder himself which is the worst possibility seeing as the only one that exists today is sealed because they couldn't be killed, or he learned from one which means they recognized his power. Worst off he can use it in his magic...he's not a normal Youkai, using the cursed language put too much strain on the body and would kill any lesser demon...yet he used it to put that barrier in a manner of seconds...be prepared for anything."
Alari eyes narrowed a little and ashamed as he was to admit it, he was extremely nervous, the amount of people that knew the language he could count on one hand counting himself and Murio now.
Alari glanced back at Mera catching her say something but arched a brow not fully catching it, a bit of concern showed on his face seeing her sigh, he made a mental note to question what was wrong when this matter was resolved.

Once the village came within sight a small relieved sigh came from Alari and he pointed ahead at it, however the moment they neared it something shot into the air in the distance, a thin red line that vanished once it hit the sky. Within a few seconds the sky turned a dark red and something expanded in the sky spreading over the village and a bit past it. Looking up Alari noticed that a giant red seal was filling the area, a huge red circle with a dual Pentagrams inside, one inverted spinning in opposite directions a bright red glow from the seals including the outer circles. Black bits of energy started to fill the area and the wind stopped blowing completely as the world seemed to almost go completely silent. Alari felt a great weight on his chest as they got closer the village, he could feel a force pressing down trying to crush everything in the area, it was a good thing none of them were simple humans, there was a good chance moving wouldn't be possible if that was the case.
Seeing the village Alari noticed everyone on the ground completely still, he stopped immediately and knelt down to one of the many bodies laying the streets, putting his hand on them he checked them before letting out a sigh.
"Thank goodness they're just knocked out," Alari said. "He probably did this on purpose...we should hurry to the field. Hotaru I don't know what he wants with you, but if he's telling the truth Larel's life is in your hands. I trust you...but be careful as it might be a trick."

In the field Murio was standing near the center between the village and the forest beyond it, his hands were folded behind his back and his hair and clothing fluttered from the influx of energy filling the area. The flowers around him had a bright blue glow after being touched from the immense magic filling the area, the air itself seemed filled with his presence and the less distance between him and others the more force seemed to be pushing down. His attention was focused on the now red sky staring up at the center of the pentagram. Larel was nowhere to be seen around him, it was simply the man himself watching the sky a distant look in his eyes, his mouth a thin line as he patiently waiting for the others.
