Bell the white core mage (Being rewritten)

Skirmish

"Get going, Anya," Bell calmly ordered, dodging a strike from the redheaded woman.

"Time to go," Anya said, grabbing Airmids hand and running.

"Huh, looks like you're the striker," Bell said, parrying the knives with his sword. He kicked the woman in the stomach and watched as she skidded back, holding her stomach as Bell pressed his advantage.

His sword was blocked by a giant shield held by the black-haired man. The man pushed Bell back while remaining in front of the striker.

"Get up and fight Amanda," the shield yelled.

"Fuck off, Ray," Amanda yelled as she lunged at Bell again.

He dodged the fire-infused daggers before tripping Amanda. He jumped back, avoiding a slam from Ray, then raised a wall to block the spell from the caster.

Shakti jumped and threw her light spear at the caster, who dodged. The sentry swung their whip at Shakti, who easily dodged.

While the sentry and caster were not meant for close quarters, they were still trained soldiers and, as such, could fight in close quarters if needed.

The caster threw a fireball at Shakti, who promptly returned it to the sender. The fireball impacted the caster, who was sent flying into a tree.

The tree shattered upon impact and fell over, pinning the caster to the ground as it landed on their legs.

Shakti then threw one of her light spears into the sentry's leg before cracking the back of her real one against their face knocking them out.

Bell expertly dodged the strikes from Amanda before tripping her and smashing the hilt of Dawn's Ballad against her head. The light from Amanda's eyes faded as she fell to the ground unconscious.

Ray stood there, his shield at the ready. While he was meant for defense, he still knew how to fight, even if his only weapon was a shield.

However, he didn't get the chance to as a bolt of lightning struck him in the back courtesy of Bell. Ray felt his muscles lock up and collapse to the ground, unable to move.

Bell promptly walked up and kicked him in the face knocking him unconscious.

Bell looked over to Shakti, who had a worried look on her face.

"That was almost too easy," she said, looking at Bell.

Bell looked back at his unconscious enemies seeing their weapons scattered around them.

"I feel the same as well" Bell promptly looked around the forest, trying to see and hear if anything was out of place.

"We should restrain them before they wake up. We can take them back to Orario and interrogate them," Shakti said, using her light magic to bind the four Alacryians.

"We won't get much out of them. Their runes prevent them from spilling any information that could be useful to us," Bell said, using his earth magic to lift the tree off the caster and drag him to the group of captured Alacryians.

Gathering them all in a circle, Shakti looked at Bell and spoke.

"From your information, it sounded like they'd be better fighters. Any guess as to why they were so easily beaten" She asked.

Bell thought for a moment before an idea came to his mind. "They're spies, not meant for combat, only information gathering. While yes, they're still trained soldiers, they're no match for active combatants like us," Bell explained.
