Joshua Riker's (The apostle of Light) POV:

My hand on the wall, I walked down the corridor, listening to any sound I could hear.

To my surprise, the other rooms still had their occupants, but they didn't wake up no matter what I tried, not even magic worked.

They aren't dead, he probably sedated them. Damn it I need to find my friends.

As I was running through the house, I noticed more and more of those abominations moving around.

Most of them ran away the moment they saw me, but the bigger ones tried to get a piece of me.

Fortunately, they were quite weak, with one blow with my fist enhanced with magic, I could turn them into stains on the rug.

"Where are you two!"

In frustration, I kicked one of the doors in, squashing one of the monsters in the process.

"...Finally."

Lay in the bedroom which I broke into, where the two girls were sleeping peacefully on a king-sized bed.

"Now I only need to take them with me and-"

Whose.

A throwing knife flew next to my ear and embedded itself into the door frame.

Slowly I turned my head, seeing two figures approaching me.

In the darkness, I could only see their silhouettes which looked kind of human, with a slightly green light emitted in the middle of their heads.

"I can make your hands clap."

" Hear the cheers of your brothers."

The both of them took out a strange crossbow-looking weapon and aimed at us.

"Said, can make your hands clap!"

"Light Barrier!"

At the last second, I raised a barrier, protecting us from two grossly shaped projectiles, which exploded into small clouds of smoke at impact.

"Shit!"

I looked behind, my friends still unconscious on the floor, but there seemed to be no danger threatening them.

"Let's... do this... OUTSIDE! HOLY BARRIER BLAST!"

By overcharging my barrier, I pushed them away a few feet, burning the stuff they fired at me in the process.

Not giving them time to think, I gathered some energy into my legs and started to run at them.

" My flesh is searching for your-"

I grabbed their heads and with a war cry bashed them through the walls on our left, which led us out to the gardens.

As we fell, I let go of them and concentrated my power on my back.

"HOLY WINGS!"

From my shoulder blades, two white wings grew out, making me float in the air.

The assailants weren't so lucky, they fell heads first onto the paved road, making disgusting cracking and twisting sounds.

The worst was that after they landed, they quickly got up on their feet.

" What the hell are you?!"

In the light of my wings, I could finally see what they were really.
