The eastern area of the castle, where the main members of the Apollo Family are concentrated, becomes an epicenter of confusion and disorder at this moment.
Hyakinthos Clio, the level 3 commander and most powerful member of the family, is furious, his voice echoing through the castle stones as he reprimands his subordinates.
"What?! Who is issuing orders for everyone to leave? This is nonsense!" Hyakinthos shouts, his expression twisted with anger and confusion.
"But, Lord Hyakinthos. Luan said it was you who issued the orders!" An adventurer responds, equally confused and a little scared by his leader's reaction.
"Luan? Is he betraying us now?!" Hyakinthos's fury grows, his thoughts revolving around betrayal and deceit.
Daphne Lauros, with her quick mind and keen eyes, intervenes.
"This seems suspicious, let me investigate, I'll see Luan immediately!" she responds, wanting to find out what's going on.
"Alright, Daphne. See why Luan is acting this way!" Hyakinthos concedes.
Cassandra Ilion, with her desperation for some visions she had, feels the weight of what will happen.
"This is terrible... it's starting..." She murmurs, sensing the beginning of something bigger and darker.
"We must tell the Heimdall family to flee!" Cassandra immediately suggests raising her voice, but her concern is quickly dismissed by Hyakinthos, who pushes her aside.
"Stop this nonsense, we cannot lose to a family with almost 200 members and several level 4 and 3s!" He shouts, refusing to admit any possibility of defeat.
As Daphne rushes in search of Luan, he or Utaha transformed into him, already aware of the risks of being discovered as soon as their actions were passed on to Hyakinthos, quickly changes location to avoid any pursuit. Utaha's cunning is one step ahead, keeping the plan they devised in motion.
Outside, Xenovia continues her relentless attack. Each of her movements is a deadly dance, each strike unleashing the power of magical swords. Explosions resonate one after another, creating a terrifying rhythm of destruction.
*BOOOOOM!!*
*BOOOOOM!!*
*BOOOOOM!!*
*BOOOOOM!!*
Adventurers from the Apollo Family fall one after another, their defenses ineffective against the fury of the swords Xenovia holds. Screams of pain and desperate pleas for help fill the air.
"AHHHH!!!" A soldier screams as he is hit.
"Someone stop her!" Another begs, seeking shelter.
"She's too strong!" The realization comes with growing fear.
In the midst of the chaos, the Hestia Family arrives, taking advantage of the opening created by Xenovia. Eriri, Asia, and Irina, with their eyes fixed on the goal, move quickly through the confusion, ready to face whatever comes next.
A new batch of soldiers comes out of the hole in the wall, and they immediately advance against Xenovia.
