The storm had intensified as did the situation the scripture was in. The heavy downpour and loud thunderous blasts echoed through the dark forest. The entire forest was drenched, the Androids surrounded and outnumbered them, their skills were unknown and they didn't exhibit any magic energy. This was a clear disadvantage to the Scriptures who heavily rely even on the faintest detection of magic.

Android EA-1 and EA-2 quickly followed Artemis who was just a foot against the translucent magic barrier cast by the mages. The metallic and organic nature of Artemis confused even the most experienced of the Scripture. Never in their lives have they encountered an abomination like Artemis and his minions, creatures who didn't possess even the faintest of magic which was omnipresent in Fordalt.

"We can take them," Quentiss said as she squinted forward. Clenching on her Bruxite Staff

"You sure? they may not seem much, but I'm not someone to underestimate the enemy easily" Veorgh was ready, on his palms came out two blue circles inscribed with ancient magic texts. These were the foundations of most spells, cast by hand-woven magic circles which summon forth the magic power into manifestations of energy.

Emma and Thourist were silent. They were standing right beside Valentine who was still on the floor, weakened by her fatigue. Freya wielded her golden spear which shone a golden light that illuminated the group and the Androids. The entire Scripture besides Valentine was wearing their holy armor given to them by the Pope himself who claimed the armor was nearly indestructible for they have been blessed by the gods themselves.

"We have our gods and goddesses by our side! for the Theocracy!" Gord shouted as a sign of strength and faith. The entire scripture was warmed by his words and they felt the gods themselves lend them their power.

"You four! retreat using teleportation magic and alert the Pope!" Gord commanded the four unknown mages. The four quickly disappeared using teleportation magic. But, this disallowed the rest of the party from using teleportation magic due to the risks of interference between dimensions

"Hiya!" Fast like a bullet, Freya charged as insane speed, pointing her spear towards the Androids.

"Enchant!" Her golden sword glowed even further as she enchanted it further with enchantment magic. Veorgh followed suit, lunging into the air and casting the spell he had ready on his palms. Gord unsheeted his sword and charged at Artemis with Emma and Thourist running behind her. Valentine stayed within the barrier.

Artemis was unfazed, displaying an expressionless look.

"Engage"

The Android Soldiers at the very front of the encirclement dashed at the same time at incredible speeds, despite the weight of Primelium and heavy bodies the the Androids were able to catch up with even the speed of Valentine who was considered the fastest of all assassins.

"Crap!" Freya's spear met with the Primelium metal of one of the Androids who charged at them, the frightening power of the Androids caused Freya to struggle and ultimately step back.

"They're strong!" Freya shouted.

"{Cast Twin Maximize Magic}, {Electrosphere!}"

Veorgh fired his high-voltage electric shock spell which released two massive lightning strike. The lightning strike came from both of his palms and targeted several Android Soldiers who were approaching the barrier. The lightning strike is way faster than the fastest bullet, however, the Androids able to dodged it but he could see some able to hit a small number of them.
