Sat on a towerblock across from the plaza, red-faced with rage and punching the roof was a furious Lance. Lance had tried his best to go down and help his friends and sister. Trix intervened and now sat on Lance's back for good measure. Besides a seething Lance, Rajin was snarling and growling. The panther sized Grenchitty did his utmost best to remain in control of his senses, but he was losing the will to stay put.
In his last act Split shielded both of the girls from the wall of magma by using his own body. They took damage regardless, yet not to the extent of Split who shot back down to one health. Granite, Nebs, and Quinn faced the same as they lay unmoving and unconscious on the torn apart road.
Grinning from ear to ear Salamay paid the injured girls another visit and this time grabbed hold of Cissy's arm and ripped her watch away. After a couple of moments, Cissy was left in nothing but her socks, jeans, and hoody. Salamay took everything from her, Granite included. Cissy started to sob, helpless to do anything. She felt useless, powerless and now understood how Luke had felt all them years at school.
Split, Cissy, and Nagori had nothing left to offer and Damocles didn't need any of their classes so they weren't even worth deleting, it was more enjoyment watching the tears flow. Looking down at Luke who showed a level of skill beyond a mere level three Damocles bent down and removed Luke's holo watch. Opening Luke's inventory it was like being in a sweet shop.
Damocles could see Luke's total playtime in Avilien and was left confused as to the amount of wealth this lad had in under a week. He noted he was a Knight Beta class user and made Luke instantly valuable, or rather valuable once deleted. There were also items Damocles had never seen, the giant sack, unopened, and awarded to Luke for beating the invasion boss.
Transferring all items, gear, and wealth into his inventory along with the contracts for both guides Damocles drew one of his two blades. Now to finish Luke and claim the Beta class. Damocles couldn't stop grinning as he stood over a kid half his size, a kid that showed insane potential and if he were better-equipped and levelled would wipe the floor with him. That outcome didn't sound good.

"Let me go, Trix! You know I have to help them! He's going to delete them all." Lance strained to try and move and get Trix off, but it was like a boulder had been placed on him.
"Believe me. This is for the best for now." Trix lowered his head, conflicted emotions running through his head. He hated every second of what he was doing, but if what all the developers discovered came true then Luke would be the doom of Avilien, civilisation, and the real world.
Luke, who relied on himself and no other would become corrupted at some point. Once the corruption seeps in there is no stopping the spread and with a corrupted Awesome Biscuit on the field, it would be truly terrifying. Trix hadn't told Lance any of this and he didn't intend too. He'd play the big bad wolf who hunted Luke for stupid reasons. Although one of the reasons is that Luke did at one point destroys Trix's guild in Forest of Winter.
"Master... I cannot contain this rage any longer." Rajin ground his teeth before letting out a blood-curdling roar that screeched across the skies of Mixten.
"Rajin not you as well," Trix nodded his head before tapping on Lance. "This idiot is enough to deal with. Rajin, as your master and friend please wait a little longer. Everything will be okay." Trix pleaded, knowing it would fall on deaf ears. Nebs was down there and Rajin's eyes were fixed on the bundle of pink and purple fur.
"Forgive me, master. He is my baby brother. I have too... I have to save him. Thunderous Charge!" Rajin roared again before turning into electricity and streaking across the skies.
