...
...
The atmosphere in the part of the city where the Apollo Family resided vibrated with an unusual energy, as rumors spread like dense smoke. The stant buzz of unanswered questions hung in the air, peting with distant thuds emanating from the imposing family residence. Explosions reverberated in the foundations of the mansion, shaking the structures and drawing the attention of every curious citizen roached.
The streets surrounding the property were filled with eager spectators, eyes fixed on the bars that separated the outside from the chaotic events unfolding within. An unusual spectacle unfolded, posed of adventurers engaged iic battles and explosions decorating the se like chaotic fireworks.
The voices of the crowd reflected the perplexity alessness permeating the enviro. Some murmured specutions about what might be happening ihe Apollo mansion, while others simply watched with wide-eyed astonishment, captivated by the uability of the show.
Meanwhile, amidst the chaos, explosions occurred on all sides, with Lucius Drakenar as the epiter of all this fusion.*Boom! Boom!*As Lucius cast his magic against a group trying to attack him, someone faster than anyone Lucius had faced so far rushed towards him. The figure appeared at his side before the mage could read threw him backward; it was Hyakinthos who had appeared and attacked Lucius unprepared, hitting him directly in the chest.
Falling backward and evading a few more adventurers who tried to stop him at that moment without giving the mage time to breathe, Lucius couldn't help but mutter, "Fag aire family is not as easy as I imagined, not when you're surrounded on all sides... even being only level 1 and 2, I 't stop all the attacks," to himself, even though no one could hear amid the tinuous explosions that the mage uo repel his attackers.
Realizing the o increase his effectiveness in battle, Lucius decided to diversify his spells. In addition to offensive fire spells, Lucius raised both hands with charged magivoking his Gravitational Spell/Minravitational Field, rank 3. A sphere of gravitational energy formed around him with a diameter of 5 meters, altering the ws of gravity in the nearby area. The Apollo adventurers surrounding him suddenly felt an additional weight, making their movements slower and clumsier, with some falling to the ground without resistance.
At the same time, Lucius cast his Support Spell/Strength Booster, Speed Booster, Iroo replenish effects, and Quick Dodge to avoid arrows that were ing his way, all executed in quick succession.
Taking advantage of the fusion caused by the Gravitational Field, Lucius unched his most powerful explosive Fireball, rank 3, directly into the ter of the group of Apollo adventurers. The bination of offensive and defensive spells turhe mage into an unstoppable force, defying the oppos' expectations, even the captain/ander did not emerge unscathed when caught in the explosion as well.
While Lucius eled his spells in the midst of the chaotic battle, the Apollo mansion suffered from the impacts of his explosive spells in the middle of the field in front of it, hitting it with stray spells. Walls trembled, pieasonry flew through the air, and a part of the grand mansion began to colpse uhe magical fury of the mage.
The deafening sound of stones colliding echoed through the luxurious corridors as the frontation unfolded both inside and outside the mansion. The sight of Apollo adventurers being thrown through the air, some screaming as they fell, added a dark too the se.
It was one against aire family, but even so, they couldn't defeat just one adventurer, leaving them with signifitly low morale in a pre-eriod.
"How, how this be happening!?" Apollo, from a distance, had empty eyes, watg his precious property beiroyed on one side, while cracks seemed to appear all over the structure with broken windows—all this when they couldn't even stop the adventurer who caused all of this.
The battle tinued, and the mage kept casting explosive spells and trolling the gravity around him, but the fight was not without its challenges. Lucius felt the growing pressure of the battle, and the infinite magical energy he possessed did not guarantee invulnerability against such a rge number of oppos; his exhaustion was starting to show. Even though he seemed to be winning and managing the fight, Lucius did not emerge unscathed from the turmoil he created himself. The retaliatory attacks from the Apollo adventurers were not iive, ae his defensive and evasive magics helping, being surrounded by dozens of adventurers had some effects on him. Superficial cuts and bruises began to accumute on his body more than the healing magic could cure uhe tinuous onsught, and he was being physically exhausted.
At the height of the battle between Lucius and the Apollo adventurers, when the explosions and magical spells seemed endless, a new presence made itself known. A group of people passed through the prate, appearing in front of everyo was the Ganeash Family, known for their strength and influen the city's security, led by their respected captain, Shakti Varma.
The members of the Ganeash Family emerged on the se, standing out among the adventurers gathering to face Lucius. Their captain, an imposing figure with an aura of and at level 5, was not alone. Ilta Farna, the Amazon and vice-captain, was on one side, Hashana Dorlia was oher, and they advanced into the midst of the fusion. Their experienced eyes quickly assessed the situation and reized the characteristic mark of magical flict.
"Enough of this!" Captain Ganeash's voice resonated, imposing itself over the tumult. "What is happening here, and how did it start?" She looked directly at Lucius, her expression indig a mix of surprise and disapproval, seeing that guy again whom she had hit st time for talking absurdities to her.
Lucius, momentarily stopping his offensive, looked at the newer and realized that the situation had reached a critical point. The arrival of the Ganeash Family could signifitly alter the course of the flict, and he would have to sider his as carefully since he couldn't fight this woma alone all the adventurers beside her.
Captain Ganeash, with a serious look, addressed Lucius. "Expin yourself, wizard. What led to this? You're in flict within private property, why are you always in some trouble tely? Be it inside or outside the dungeon." Her presendicated an authority that made everyoop attag at that moment.
Lucius, shamelessly, crossed his arms, looking directly into Captain Ganeash's eyes. His expression was firm and resolute, making it clear that he had no iion of seeking a peaceful resolution at that moment.
"I didn't e here for just any reason, nor do I io seek peace, Lady Shakti. I came to retaliate against those who dared to attack my family. They chose the path of aggression, and now they will have to deal with the sequences. If they desire a truce, let them e and ask for it after feeling what it's like to be unjustly attacked. We already have a war game underway, even so, they initiated an atta the city's slums, where the Hestia Family lived." Lucius maintained his firm tohout wavering; he was still a bit furious about his church beiroyed.
"Lies! He initiated the attack!" Apollo quickly shouted with hatred.
"Look at those masked idiots, why are they here fighting with me after destroying my church?" Lucius poio some members who uhe atta the church; they came running here and didn't even have time to remove their disguises with Lucius attag their home, even though this wasn't very strong evidence because everyone k was the work of the Apollo Family after what Lucius did to the god at the ba.
"Enough of this!" Shakti's voice spoke again, putting ao any further argument.
"You, the mage from the Hestia Family. Just like Apollo-Sama and his captain with the oddly dressed members, you will e to the guild with me immediately!" She said with authority. Seeing that no one else could hahis, everyone lowered their guard, including Lucius. Sighing, he cast a spell to restruct his torn and blood-stained clothes, a healing spell to mend his wounds, and a bathing spell to the dirt created by the wreckage. He left surprisingly , even amidst the hatred. They were stuo see Lucius leaving in that state, and even Shakti was somewhat surprised by the magic dispy, although Lucius seemed incredibly tired from physical exhaustion.
"Take care of the wounded and up this mess; I'm going to the guild." Apollo spoke with a bit of anger but headed to the guild with Lucius and the Ganeash Family. The news, apanied by the sounds of explosions, attracted a rge number of curious onlookers around the mansion, and half the city already knew about the brawl.
Lucius walked with his ehrough the city uhe gaze of all the curious onlookers, hearing many rumors. They quickly reached the guild a straight to a hearing room. Rose saw him and had a perplexed and stunned expression with , seeing Lucius being escorted in such a way, alongside Apollo and his family.
In the guild's hearing room, where normally more bureaucratic matters were discussed, some exploration pns, but mainly family disputes with a judge, it was now filled with tension. Lucius was there, standing firm, while the representatives of the Apollo Family faced the guild with a nervous expression and a good deal of apprehension.
Captain Ganeash, even if she didn't like Lucius, assumed her role as a mediator, present to ehat the situation was handled fairly and that both parties had the opportunity to express themselves.
The judge was a member of the Ganeash Family, and the guild leader was also present. He was another person who didn't like Lucius, and he didn't keep that hidden like Shakti. The hearing tinued with the judge and jurors listening attentively as Lucius and the Apollo Family representative detailed their versions of the tumultuous events that occurred iy. In the end, it was firmed that there was an initial attack by the Apollo Family, but Lucius would not go unpunished for openly attag the rival family's headquarters, causing chaos throughout the city on his own.
"This is why I hate courts..." Lucius didn't like being her, but he had to obey the rules established iy. With the guild assuming responsibility for mediating the situation, it was revealed that both Lucius and the Apollo Family representatives faced an exorbita of 1 million valis each. This revetion caused a shockwave among those present, as the amount was siderable even by the standards of retively wealthy families.
"At least we weren't banned from the city..." Lucius suddenly spoke, looking directly at Apollo, who returned his gaze with hatred, w if this mage had any seer all he had done, but Lucius didn't care about that.
