'What exactly am I looking at?" Colyn thought as his gaze lingered on Raph while he held a silver bow. 'It's like....like fine-tuned equipment, moving with such precision and strength'. They were still being chased by the horde of Demons, and most of his teammates had dispersed to the front to handle the demons that targeted the Merchants, as for those that followed from behind. He handled, or at least riddled them limbless. His silver bow was the shape of a crescent moon, and three holes perforated the groove, each time he pulled out the invincible strings, three arrows of mana formed and shot out at the speed of sound, striking their appendages, and uprooting it if the demon was unable to resist. The rest was taken care of by Raph, who was evidently enjoying himself in the slaughter. His sword was his musical baton, and his fighting style was a musical piece, telling tales of bestial strength and speed. He would kick them off when They were wide open, flinging them through the air until they splurged into blood and puss on the other side of the Rocky Peak. His sword would slice through their appendages like butter, and his fist sent waves of destructive force through their bodies. The numbers were numerous, but the speed at which Raph was handling them was faster. Colyn had witnessed the sight for himself and was even able to identify some of the movements he made. 'I feel like watching the whole thing' he thought when the Coachman cried out his name. "Colyn. The merchants in front ate in trouble!" He snapped back to reality, stretching the invincible string as he turned towards the direction of the Merchants. Their carriages were still functioning, albeit a little banged up but other than that, Rodrick and the two mages were managing somehow. When the demons first appeared, it looked like thousands of spiders crawling down at them, and the sight of them was nearly overwhelming. 'But with Kael. We'll survive'. He released the string and a loud whooshing sound echoed as it pierced through the appendages of a Walking Worm that got close to the fourth carriage. 'I need to take care of this as a whole'. He continued to draw his bow while the horses rode for their lives, pulling the carriages as fast as they could. His gaze was determined and filled with focus, as he attacked them as precisely as he could, but alas, the numbers kept increasing. Sweat began to cascade down his forehead, and his focus began to turn blurry. 'How long has it been?' He thought when he looked up at the fourth carriage. The mages were still throwing projectiles of their elements at the demons to scare them off, while Raph from above ended their lives with his skill and precision, but the numbers that were reduced began to increase. 'We have to do something.....something drastic!'. He thought as he ran down the carriage and jumped into the air with might, his legs pulsating with power and might. The young man halted in his tracks, lost for words at their statement. He began to line his thoughts in order before turning towards the direction of Raph, his gaze flickering with unwavering anger. 'Why?! Why does he look like he's enjoying himself when he's killing so many of them? These demons would cost us our lives if we're not careful' He thought, as he observed Raph's refined movements that caused a massacre on the side of the Rocky Peak. He was facing a lot of them, but he did not falter in his movements or his actions. All with a single purpose to massacre. This was a sight that all battle-frenzied individuals would want to see. The beauty of massacre. "Fine, but we're going to need some help". He said with a sigh, lowering his longsword for a moment. Cruz and Lucky sighed. "You want to ask him, don't you? But I feel like he's occupied with most of it". Cruz explained as he adjusted his glasses while Lucky nodded in agreement. Rodrick chuckled. "Don't you get it? We are way out of his league. I'm sure he hasn't even shown us what he's got". He walked towards the edge of the Carriage, his gaze on Raph. "Kael! Support please!". He cried out, and the boy in the black hoodie complied. Raph was in a state of battle frenzy as he slid and jumped through the side of the Rocky Peak. It was somewhat funny since he had been slaughtering this beast while standing sideways the whole time. Yet, this didn't stop his focus and drive, as he was intent on killing them all. It was a sight of flesh, blood and pus in a gory harmony of death and pain of which the demons fell to the ground limply. 'He said he needed Support!' Raph thought as a smirk formed on his face. 'Shall we use some magic then?' He stabbed through the torsos of one of the Demons as it fell while jumping through the air, dodging a swarm of them that nearly encircled him. He clicked his finger while in the air, focusing on the demons below, and a red flame erupted to life. "7th Circle Magic: Flame Sparrow". The red flame enlarged in size in seconds, taking half the size of the demons that they were fighting against, and shot out with a fiery blaze in its trail until it crashed into the swarm closest to their Carriage. The floor erupted in a magnificent red color of flames and blew the demons to the sides, giving the fourth Carriage enough breathing room. Raph landed back on the side of the Rocky Peak and continued with his massacre, a cold chill exuding from his mouth as he charged forward at the creatures. While he fought, Cruz and Lucky stared at him in awe while Rodrick stretched his muscles in anticipation of the incoming demons. "Well, prepare it," He said with a sigh. 'A ridiculous swordsmanship and now Magic? This bastard....he's a Magic Swordsman'. Cruz and Lucky flinched back to reality, as they pointed their staff towards the demons. They began to recite a chant, and magic circles began to appear at the front of their staff. In that short time, the demons had finally caught up with them. They were about to attack the carriage again when another fiery sparrow blew them away, giving Cruz and Lucky enough breathing space to complete their spells. By the time the other demons could catch up, it was already too late. "Expert Skill: Fire Volcano!" "Expert Skill: Water Hole!"
