The moment the man noticed something was wrong with the group, he immediately pointed it out.
Seeing the commotion, Max signaled to Reith.
But there was no way for Reith to understand what Max meant, so he did the first thing that came to mind.
With a sharp burst, an incoming shockwave spread forth and a massive rod of lightning shot from Reith's body, curving like a long whip.
The lightning landed and moved across the bodies of the men.
"Run for it!" Reith yelled, and everyone else moved at once.
Tia grabbed Milly's hand, and they ran forward. The lightning whip strike left the guards numb. Reith had aimed carefully so none of his allies were harmed. They only needed a chance to escape.
Within the next breath, the group moved as if sharing one mind. Elder Fox leapt and slammed his fist on the floor, creating an earthquake that threw everyone aside.
Max rushed to Reith. "What did you do that for? I did not tell you to attack!"
"What about the signal you made?" Reith frowned.
