The team swiftly split up, each member heading to their assigned sector to confront the crystal-filled humanoid creatures and protect the civilians. Roy and Lilian faced the northern curve, their determination burning brightly in their eyes.

Roy (focused): Stay close, Lilian. We'll protect the people and take down these creatures together.

Lilian (resolute): Agreed, Roy. Let's show them the strength of our teamwork.

Roy unleashed his Sword Skill: Thunderclap Fury, sending electrifying shockwaves through the air. Lilian channeled her alchemical abilities, creating a barrier of solid rock to shield the civilians nearby. The crystal-filled creatures charged at them, but Roy and Lilian met the onslaught head-on.

Eros, Erik, and Dimai faced their own challenges in the east and south curve sectors. Eros used his mind-reading abilities to anticipate the creatures' moves, giving him a strategic advantage. Erik's water-based magic created barriers and hindered the creatures' movements, while Dimai's agility and acrobatics allowed him to strike swiftly from different angles.

A few minutes passed and Roy, while fighting, noticed a strange figure, he followed it and noticed Luna on a branch.

Luna:It seems that our little mouse couldn't resist the temptation of cheese.

Roy's eyes narrowed as he recognized Luna, a mischievous mage known for her cunning and trickery. Despite the chaos around them, Roy remained focused on the immediate threat.

Roy:If you're here... it means "she" is here too!

Luna:"She" is not your problem right now.

Luna came down from the branch.

Luna:You didn't expect it, did you?

Roy's grip tightened around his sword as he faced Luna, his eyes narrowed with determination.

Roy:Because you and Viola...

Luna:(Furious) Don't you dare mention her!

Luna, with a movement of her arm, creates a large gust of wind that hits Roy.

Roy staggered back from the force of Luna's wind attack, but he quickly regained his footing, his determination unwavering.

Roy:Why do you and her have it in for this city? Why are you angry with Galam?

Luna:What I explain to you, you would never understand!

Roy:But...

Luna:In particular, I'm angry with you... How dare you look at Viola while she was crying that evening?!

Roy and Luna stood locked in a tense confrontation, their exchange fueled by anger and unresolved emotions. As the battle with the crystal-filled creatures continued around them, their personal conflict took center stage.

Roy:Why don't you want to talk about it? If we talk about it we could find a solution!

Luna: Talk? Do you think that talking can solve everything! You are such a child.

Luna snapped her fingers and more of those creatures appeared.

The appearance of more crystal-filled creatures only added to the chaos of the situation. Roy and Luna's confrontation had drawn the attention of these creatures, and now they faced an even greater threat.

Luna:Let's see how you do.

Roy's determination burned brighter than ever. He knew that he couldn't let Luna's anger distract him from the task at hand. The safety of the city and its people came first.
