[hr] The portal that Niallus and the others went through ended up face to face with quite a few white guards. Without warning the White immediately started attacking the students. The students took up defensive positions. Niallus began to draw from the Void. Others also wanted to charge their spells. The white guards wanted to push on this and target them. Meanwhile Yalen wanted to charge for a big spell, however three white guards targeted him, in an attempt to stop him. Niallus immediately began drawing in Manas for something to stop the three attackers. Using Arcane, he summoned some Arcane Lances, throwing them he was aiming to injure them, but just by throwing them it managed to stop them in their tracks. More and more white guards attacked the students, some were subdued by Yalen, but some were still standing strong. Niallus held up against them using his Arcane and Kinetic as best he could. Something however caught Niallus off guard, he was hit in the side of his midsection by an unusual force. Whatever it was, in hurt Niallus quite significant enough to drop him to a knee. A kidney must have been ruptured from that hard hit he took, maybe even a broken rib. He started coughing hard from that hit, it caused him to lose focus of his magic, which stopped him drawing. [color=3d5a88]"What was that?"[/color] he tried sensing it, but only got small traces of Manas of the mysterious person. Not long after he attacked him it seemed some of the other students were hit too, not as bad as Niallus.[color=3d5a88]"Could this be another black guards ability?"[/color] he mumbled to himself. Anticipating another attempt for a sneak attack, Niallus and the others thought of baiting the attacker in, then countering. Niallus decided on a crazy idea. He summoned an arcane sword, once it manifested, he thought about adding Atomic school to it to increase its power. He never tried anything like this, honestly, he wasn't sure if this wasn't going to work. When he started to add the second school to his Arcane, there was a lot of resistance, as well as power. All of his attention was into controlling this stunt so it doesn't explode on him. Even though his sword of light had no density, with atomic being added, it started to feel heavy. [color=3d5a88]"Come on…"[/color] the combination managed to sustain itself. Then almost immediately, another attack was upon him. With a full swing, Niallus used Razor of Light. It was enough to stall the attack for a moment, he felt a hard kick to his chest. Niallus stumbled backwards from the hit, falling to one knee. The other students managed to pull the counter attack. Wiping the blood from his mouth, then spitting some out. Even that wasn't enough to stop this person now revealed to be a Yasoi. Niallus wasn't sure what else to do, but he knew he was hurt, bad. Anymore and it might kill him, wanting to play it safe he wanted to cast a defensive dark spell, Hungering Shield. he hasn't had a lot of practice with using, but it was now or never. He took a deep breath, placing a hand up in front of him. Void energies started to build. There were times that it felt like it was getting weaker. [color=3d5a88]"Come on, work."[/color] putting more and more power, digging his heels into the ground. The shield of Void started to take form, then expand in size. It was quite the struggle but though determination he managed to finish the Hungering Shield. He smiled at his accomplishment in making it. It had a strange feeling to it, Strands of the void energy form outward from the the centre of the shield. it was big enough to block off a tunnel in the cave. There was some strength to it, Niallus wished he put more power into it but he was able to pull it off since a group of white guards started attacking it with kinetic and arcane in an attempt to destroy it. Looking back to the others the black guard spotted Ingrid charging her nuke, then began walking towards her with a wicked grin. He heard Ingrid's plea to try to stall him, but he was more concerned about this black guard getting to her. He used another combination of Arcane and Atomic, in an attempt to stop him while Trypano helped secure herself and Ingrid. Once the nuke was ready, just on time too. Niallus and the others tried to hold back Golden Monkey as much as they could, Ingrid threw the nuke towards Golden Monkey. Vel made a crucial error and resulted in Golden Monkey retreating through a portal, leaving the nuke with them. Everyone thought that this was the end, they were going to die. It would have taken a miracle to save the group from this. Thankfully in the little time that was left portals opened up, this was everyone's chance to escape from this. Niallus ran as fast as he could, ignoring the pain he was in and jumped through. Everyone made it through the portal, Niallus sighed with relief that everyone got out from an impossible situation. Watching Ingrid run up to him to hug him, she hugged him tightly, he hugged her back. When Ingrid healed him he see the look on her face that she was blaming herself for not helping him. He wiped the tears from her eyes.[color=3d5a88]"I'm sorry for making you worry. I'm ok now."[/color] he kisses her forehead, then lets her heal him, with the joke that Ingrid made he smiled at her. It seemed that the group needs to think about a more solid strategy against these, but they'll need to work as a team.[/center]
