The atmosphere in the part of the city where the Apollo Family resided vibrated with an unusual energy, as rumors spread like dense smoke. The constant buzz of unanswered questions hung in the air, competing with distant thuds emanating from the imposing family residence. Explosions reverberated in the foundations of the mansion, shaking the structures and drawing the attention of every curious citizen who approached.

The streets surrounding the property were filled with eager spectators, eyes fixed on the bars that separated the outside from the chaotic events unfolding within. An unusual spectacle unfolded, composed of adventurers engaged in frenetic battles and explosions decorating the scene like chaotic fireworks.

The voices of the crowd reflected the perplexity and restlessness permeating the environment. Some murmured speculations about what might be happening inside the Apollo mansion, while others simply watched with wide-eyed astonishment, captivated by the unpredictability of the show.

Meanwhile, amidst the chaos, explosions occurred on all sides, with Lucius Drakenar as the epicenter of all this confusion.
*Boom! Boom!*
As Lucius cast his magic against a group trying to attack him, someone faster than anyone Lucius had faced so far rushed towards him. The figure appeared at his side before the mage could react and threw him backward; it was Hyakinthos who had appeared and attacked Lucius unprepared, hitting him directly in the chest.

Falling backward and evading a few more adventurers who tried to stop him at that moment without giving the mage time to breathe, Lucius couldn't help but mutter, "Facing an entire family is not as easy as I imagined, not when you're surrounded on all sides... even being only level 1 and 2, I can't stop all the attacks," to himself, even though no one could hear amid the continuous explosions that the mage launched to repel his attackers.

Realizing the need to increase his effectiveness in battle, Lucius decided to diversify his spells. In addition to offensive fire spells, Lucius raised both hands with charged magic, invoking his Gravitational Spell/Minor Gravitational Field, rank 3. A sphere of gravitational energy formed around him with a diameter of 5 meters, altering the laws of gravity in the nearby area. The Apollo adventurers surrounding him suddenly felt an additional weight, making their movements slower and clumsier, with some falling to the ground without resistance.

At the same time, Lucius cast his Support Spell/Strength Booster, Speed Booster, Ironflesh to replenish effects, and Quick Dodge to avoid arrows that were coming his way, all executed in quick succession.

Taking advantage of the confusion caused by the Gravitational Field, Lucius launched his most powerful explosive Fireball, rank 3, directly into the center of the group of Apollo adventurers. The combination of offensive and defensive spells turned the mage into an unstoppable force, defying the opponents' expectations, even the captain/commander did not emerge unscathed when caught in the explosion as well.

While Lucius channeled his spells in the midst of the chaotic battle, the Apollo mansion suffered from the impacts of his explosive spells in the middle of the field in front of it, hitting it with stray spells. Walls trembled, pieces of masonry flew through the air, and a part of the grand mansion began to collapse under the magical fury of the mage.

The deafening sound of stones colliding echoed through the luxurious corridors as the confrontation unfolded both inside and outside the mansion. The sight of Apollo adventurers being thrown through the air, some screaming as they fell, added a dark tone to the scene.
