"Watch out!"
The rune inscriptions hovered above them, creating a rain of fire. Wisteria placed himself in between with a barrier spell.
He glanced at Sylvan, who stood still. Wisteria attempted one more time to send his Mana and transmit a message, which Sylvan continued to ward off.
"..."
The veins that have subsided popped back out onto the side of Wisteria's forehead. While maintaining the barrier with one hand, he gathered a large mass of Mana on the other and shot it straight towards Sylvan. Unconcerned by the incoming attack, Sylvan blocked it away from his body, allowing the Mana to disperse around him.
------Piiiiiii------
Sylvan heard the sound of static, then a voice closely to his ear.
"Hear me out, will you!?"
It was Wisteria's brazen voice. The dispersed Mana acted as signal receivers to forcefully send his voice over to Sylvan.
------Piiiiiii------
Wisteria received the static noise of a response close to his ears.
Thank goodness!
"Go on, then." Sylvan's voice was muffled due to the interference from the incoming rain of fire and his barrier.
"We're not here to cause trouble! We're looking for someone who was sent here against her will!"
"And is that any reason to trespass with un-welcomed guests?" Sylvan's voice lowered threateningly.
"That wasn't my plan! I was going to come alone, but my companions acted on their own---"
"And am I supposed to believe that?" He scoffed, "Sneaking in like a rat after I trusted you with the key to my home."
"I..." Wisteria hesitated, "I understand it looks like that, but it's because I didn't want to destroy the barrier spells and trouble you again like last time..."
"You could have contact me directly with the rune."
"... Tha----- Huh!?"
Preoccupied with the barrier spell in addition to communicating with Sylvan, he failed to notice Lupin dashing out of the barrier. Blue flames and lightning enveloped his blade as he swung his sword at his enemy.
Sylvan didn't bother to raise an arm, and effortlessly repelled the attack with the invisible barrier around him, sending him away with a blast. As Lupin struggled to balance himself mid-air, a series of rune projectiles followed behind him. He could barely manage to defend himself against the attacks as he headed straight to the ground!
"Lupin!" Wisteria shouted.
"That idiot!" Admon said under his breath, stomping on his shadow. The shadow stretched towards Lupin and cushioned his fall.
"Bring him back in here!" Wisteria requested, drops of sweat dribbling down his face.
Admon immediately retrieved his shadow along with the 'idiot' he had just saved. As soon as his shadow reached the protection of Wisteria's spell, he walked forward, eyes glaring at the enemy.
"Necromancer! There should be a young woman who was teleported here!" He shouted, "Bring her to us, and we'll leave!"
"..." Wisteria wished Admon could have used a nicer tone, especially since he was also trying to negotiate with Sylvan on his own end!
Sylvan sneered, "That girl was locked up as soon as she stepped into my domain, and you'll join her too."
"Give her back!" Lupin shouted.
