Did you hear the news?\" a guard asked his fellow sentry, shifting his weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stood atop a small watchtower of some sort, positioned strategically inside the towering gate that surrounded their settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The structure was quite high, enabling them to see far beyond the massive gates shielding their town from external harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them, the daily life of the town unfurled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carriages rolled across the cobbled ground as the streets opened up a few dozen metres away from their watch post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sellers called out to passers-by, urging them to inspect their wares, while families walked around quietly and calmly under the afternoon sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few dozen metres further into the heart of the territory, a massive mansion stood prominently on elevated land, overlooking the commoners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What news?\" a second guard questioned the first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were five guards in total within the tower; two of them maintained a diligent watch over the horizon, while the other three were lazing about, drinking from open bottles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of them was a mage, though their discipline had clearly waned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That Lord Cedric of town Kiten is dead?\" the first guard replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the drunk guards looked up, his eyes glassy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dead? Really? Hahaha... the Lord’s wishes have finally been granted after so long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fourth guard lifted his bottle with a mocking smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now all Lord Bale has to do is swoop in and take control over the town. Soon, we will be more powerful than any other settlement in the region.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first guard looked ahead worriedly, his grip tightening on his spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do I feel like the lord has a hand in this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third guard shrugged indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who cares? This sort of thing happens on a daily basis, so why worry? If he manages to seize control of the town, the lord will be much richer, and our pay could finally be upgraded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second guard scratched his chin as he peered up at the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was bothering him; the sky looked quite different than it should at this hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hint of unnatural darkness, maybe?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squinting as he studied the gathering clouds, the second guard whispered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do I feel like a storm is coming?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACKLE! BANG—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive pillar of lightning screamed down from the sky almost immediately, causing the guards’ eyes to widen in sheer horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ear-shattering bang rang out for miles as every single person in the vicinity was forced to clap their hands over their ears to block out the roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pillar of white-hot lightning crashed into the watchtower with vengeful force, shattering the stone and wood, turning the entire structure to splinters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three drunk guards were caught completely unaware as the high-voltage sparks electrocuted them from the inside out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Foam spilled from their mouths as their nervous systems overloaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bodies went limp instantly, falling amidst the burning debris of the once-towering post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two guards who had been keeping watch were quick enough to react, wrapping themselves in the earth element to lessen the impact of the strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their defensive measures didn’t mean they avoided the fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wh—what’s that?\" the first guard pointed upward as they free-fell through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something—or someone—could be seen descending from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the figure neared, his features became slightly visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flapping red robes whipped in the wind, and a strange wooden mask obscured his face—a mask that looked like it was made for children participating in a festival of scares.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He landed on the second guard’s head smoothly as the man fell backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brown eyes burned with a cold, lethal intensity from behind the wooden slits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure glanced down at the man he stood upon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, flames crackled around his feet, consuming the guard and turning him to ash in a heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first guard’s eyes widened in total horror at the ruthless display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his own body could even hit the ground, a massive wind sword screamed from the skies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It crashed into his chest with thunderous force, ripping his ribcage open and causing a brilliant spray of blood to spritz into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud! Thud! Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodies crashed onto the pavement with heavy, wet sounds, followed by the individual who descended so smoothly that the surrounding dust barely stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The townspeople looked on in a paralyzed state of shock and confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything had unfolded within a few frantic heartbeats; they hadn’t even found the time to register the threat, let alone formulate a decision, so they simply stared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of civilians occupied the streets—not their total population, but a significant portion of the morning crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure scanned the masses, his gaze cold behind the wooden mask as if he were gauging the weight of every soul present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could move, the rhythmic thunder of boots echoed against the stone—more guards were rushing toward the breach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These mages arrived with elemental energies coiling around their limbs, prepared to unleash a counter-assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure counted roughly thirty mages closing in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they surged forward, he simply lifted his hand and snapped his fingers together with a sharp, resonant crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost instantly, the sky plummeted into shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden darkness caused the guards to halt their charge, their heads snapping upward alongside the terrified civilians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horror spread like a contagion at the sight above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of shimmering wind swords and jagged lightning arrows hovered in the atmosphere like a canopy of destruction, poised for a lethal descent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a casual flick of his wrist downward, the projectiles screamed through the air, accelerating toward the gathered crowd below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scatter!\" the mages shrieked in a panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the warning was futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!
