Tyler turned his gaze towards the badly wounded young man on the ground as he struggled to look up at him. His cloak had been tattered so his face visible for him to see. Even under the blood that had covered half his face, Tyler could still tell how handsome this man was and it kinda annoyed him, well just a tad.

His golden pupils seem almost lifeless and his body was in a terrible state. Not that he was in any immediate danger from the injuries though. Perhaps he had been toyed with and there was no real intention to kill, or he had already used some low-level healing spell.

He also saw the body of an injured ogre close to him in an even worst shape than him. He then shifted his gaze to the young masked girl in front of them as she held a blade made of greenish-white light energy and was observing them warily.

She took a step back the moment his gaze was locked at her and Tyler tilted his head slightly. He then took a step forward and the masked girl did the reverse. Tyler repeated the motion and she repeated hers.

He finally stopped next to the ogre and waved an arm as he cast a Tier 2 spell he had learned for situations like this. "Light Healing."

The gaping hole in his chest and the various wounds he had, slowly started to close as he was encased in a pure white aura. Rain who was keenly keeping her attention on the masked girl since the beginning had still noticed the spell Tyler had used and was a bit surprised.

There were two types of healing magic, holy or divine healing of the light element that was used mostly by humans, and then there was arcane healing magic that was mostly used by sorcerers and spirit beings like treants and dryads.

Of course, some could use both, it wasn't something that was seen often. It was a common rule that mages focus on a section of magic that complements their style and raises their effectiveness, after all, they couldn't learn an unlimited number of spells and were limited by their potential. It was why Rain had only learned spells that increased her potency in a fight. As an assassin-type mage, she had far less spell count than an ordinary mage of her level and didn't have the luxury of learning spells that weren't directly useful in battle.

She had seen Tyler use an arcane spell of the dark arts and after seeing him make undead she had imagined he was interested in necromancy. Yet, here he was using a holy healing spell of the light element, however, Tyler had completely forgotten about the spell limit and had learned spells based on what he thought he would need since he was still restricted to Tier 2.

Amra stared warily at the two strangers that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and hesitated, she hadn't sensed them approaching which meant they had just appeared out of nowhere. Even ignoring the guy she couldn't sense anything from, the dark elf he came with was dangerous enough to warrant caution.

The guy suddenly looked at her and she instinctively took a step back, only to take several more steps as he approached. She had been wary of a sudden attack however, it never came, she instead saw him stop and use a healing spell on the piece of trash she had thought was dead and stabilized his breathing. 'So he was just a healer. That makes sense, that means the only one I have to worry about is the elf.'

Amra thought as she came up with a plan. Her mission was only Zomatsu's mother's book, as well as putting an end to his defiance and naturally to erased any witnesses and loose ends, preventing any information on the Ghost Legion from leaking.

However, with the interference of the two strangers, that was no longer an easy task. Although the mission was important and she had never failed her missions before. Her life was more valuable than this mission because if for some reason she dies here and was revived in the enemy's base, they could use all sorts of methods to extract information from her that would be detrimental to the Zorak family.

Still, now that she knew she didn't have to worry about the guy, there was a chance for her to finish her mission and also take care of one of the intruders while she was at it. Although she would have to leave behind a loose end, this was the best possible solution.

Rain could swear that she had only blinked once, yet the masked girl in front of her had disappeared from view. Rain tightened the grip on her dagger and used a spell. "Blessings of the wind." Even if the girl's ability could evade magic sense, as long as she was still moving on this plane, she wouldn't escape Rain's notice. Just as the spell was activated Rain sensed the wind split towards Tyler and Rain didn't hesitate as she appeared in front of Tyler and light particles appeared from the shattered blade of light she had destroyed.

Several blades of lights appeared in the air as they aimed for Tyler and Rain lightly brandished her blade destroying them all. Amra appeared out of the void as two blades of light appeared in both her hands and with light steps she moved around Rain, circling her as she aimed to launch an attack from behind Tyler while also shooting out one of the light blades at Rain.

Blessings of the wind were still active so Rain had almost perfect awareness of everything happening around her, so such a tactic was useless. With a swing of her blade, the blade of light shattered and Rain raised an arm to cast a spell.

"Triplet Magic - Lightning Ricochet."

Three silvery lightning bolts escaped her fingers as they snaked around and aimed at the swiftly moving masked girl. Amra saw the Lightning bolting at her and made a quick cut with a graceful spin and evaded the attacks completely. However, three magic circles appeared in the air, deflecting the three lightning bolts with twice the strength towards Amra.

Amra, noticing this, activated a spell of her own. "Illusionary Haze." An explosion of greyish white particles erupted from around her as it swallowed two of the three Lightning bolts aimed at her, as they disappeared. She then proceeded to jump off a tree as she gracefully somersaulted in the air, creating several green light blades that shot at the third lightning bolt and somehow managed to cancel the attack.

She swirled in the air and landed like a leaf as two more light blades appeared in her hands. Rain prepared to intercept her advance but she narrowed her brows when the masked girl had switched targets. She had managed to get closer to the unmoving Zomatsu and with a single step, she could reach his neck. Rain seeing the mask girl switch targets so abruptly knew she had been played.

It was now painfully obvious that silencing that guy was very important to her and Rain felt that he should be a rather important member of the Zorak family and not just a scout to warrant the attention of such a strong assassin. The information he could provide would be valuable to lord Ty but right now there was no way she could get to her in time to interfere.

Amra landed in front of the almost unconscious Zomatsu and with a single step she could relieve him of his head. She didn't want to make the same mistake she had made with the ogre she thought had died but was still barely conscious. She would make sure there was no chance of survival and even if they had a tool for resurrection, her blade had the ability to interfere with the mind, allowing only an empty vessel to be revived.

She took the step and with a fluid motion, sliced off his head. However, she felt no resistance. It wasn't like her blade had cut through flesh and bone but air. She blinked several times only to realize that the near unconscious body that had laid in front of her was no longer there. Amra felt puzzled and confused but immediately snapped back to her senses when she sensed a gaze locked at her from behind.

She turned her head and saw the figures of the young man wearing a black fur coat and the dark elf who smiled at her alongside the unconscious body of the ogre. She could've accepted it if their speeds were so fast that she couldn't see them take away Zomatsu body and stand next to her but why would they move the body of the ogre as well. No, they didn't, she didn't know how but somehow they had made her appear next to them and none of her resistance spells stopped it.

With a bit of panic at the thought of being attacked, Amra hastily jumped backward, in a bid to escape the caged trap they had caught her in. However, she felt herself sink into the arms of someone and her eyes widened because the group was no longer in front of her. The arm that had caught her held firmly to her shoulders and another reached out towards her mask, as his index finger made contact and was about to pull it down.

Amra panicked, failing her mission was one thing, but getting unmasked was the greatest shame of a Ghost, second only to getting captured. She had no idea how the guy she had thought was just a healer had done it, but for some reason anytime she took a step or made an action that should get her somewhere, it somehow takes her to him. Still, she couldn't let herself be captured, the space around them saturated intensely.

Tyler no longer felt the weight of the young masked girl in his arm and he soon realized she was nowhere to be found. He shook his head as he murmured. "She escaped." He had to admit, the young girl was incredibly skilled as she had made such a swift decision to retreat. The greatest fear was the fear of the unknown and she had no idea how powerful the ability that was being used on her was.

Tyler felt a bit of disappointment though, as he had planned to use the girl for various experiments with his new skills as he had just learned that they weren't as straightforward as he had originally thought. Moreover, they could even be combined with other spells to make them more effective.

Still, he had learned a lot from their brief exchange though, for one, he wasn't able to use distortion on her ability and couldn't change her destination. He didn't know if this was limited to innate abilities or skills or maybe higher-level spells.

"Should I go after her?"

"No, there no need for that." f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

Tyler sighed as he looked at Rain who was looking at him with bright eyes and a charming smile seemingly in admiration. She also had an eager look on her face that seemed to want something from him. She had kept the assassin at bay while Tyler healed the ogre and studied their fight. The confident look on her face seemed to scream at Tyler. Did you see me, wasn't I useful?

In short, she wanted to be complemented and Tyler was a bit tempted to denial her. However, he only entertained the thought for a split second and just said "Good job." Before turning his gaze back to the man that had offered him valuable information. He needed to use light healing on him before he dies along with that knowledge.
