"Take some of us with you" Andre says.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTay31oGBEl
In his friends' eyes, Raphael can discern their determination, even if not all of them vocalize their thoughts. However, he knows he can't risk endangering anyone, the preparations and effort to escape the base were too great to let even one more person get in danger.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcIRxs2BuX
"There's not much time, I'll go alone, you know how strong I am, my essence power is at level 7.3 there's no way I'll fail" Raphael says knowing his chances of success are high, higher than any of his friends.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJUYdO612C
"You know it will not be easy even for you, you're strong no doubt about it but we got the easy way with our group and you know it, we only needed to incapacitate some guards without letting them alert anybody, sadly we could not anticipate that they had an ability user of sound waves that triggered the alarm." Benjamin says dejected.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8RLO3Xl1M
The rest of the group looks dejected. Clara looks between Raphael and Benjamin with apprehension.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC2eURDQHt
"Take me with you an..." Benjamin tries to say but is cut short.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYPHNZbkKF
"No" Raphael says cutting him off.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZZsjijej7

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJoEPVUjV6
Benjamin looks at Raphael with uncertainty.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVBOJIK6EI
"Just... be careful, we'll return home together" Benjamin.

Raphael nods and begins activating his ability, causing the air to distort around him. In a matter of seconds, he teleports to where Aria and the group are, not exactly next to them, but close enough to see them engaging the corporation in combat.

Everyone is contributing to the attack but there's not enough power to break their formation.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFlyKuxEAv

"Raphael, came to help us" Liam shouts to the group.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbZWKGi280
As Raphael materializes amidst the battle, the group's attention swiftly gravitates towards him. Aria's telekinetic assault momentarily halts, her eyes widening in surprise before a flicker of hope ignites within them. Neil's barrier wavers under the corporation's relentless assault, and he turns his gaze towards Raphael, a mixture of relief and determination etched across his face.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLCKyh45z2
Malik, pauses his healing efforts, acknowledging Raphael's presence with a nod. The rest of the group, though wearied from the ongoing battle, straightens their posture, renewed vigor coursing through their veins at the sight of his arrival.

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiresz1BVQ
"Aria give me support, Neil you'll take the group with you past the corporation, just focus on defending."
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TfEBRLIY4
David one of the instructors stares at Raphael with eyes that seem to blame him for everything that happened. "You're not escaping from here, we should have known something was wrong but how could we know that violet eye would be the reason all of our plans would be ruined."
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum8kbwrRpA
"Talk all you want, that's the only thing you'll be able to do from now on." Raphael says his eyes glowing brighter.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FnJzC4EJn
"Letting the anger get the best of you, I'm disappointed." David says with a smile.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4mCxWJC9Y
As tension thickened in the air, Raphael squared his shoulders, meeting David's accusing gaze with disdain.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiK0gX0iRH
"Save your lectures for later, David. Right now, I have a battle to win and you one to lose." Raphael responds.

"Don't forget that I'm also here" says the other instructor before hurling sharp metal shards against Raphael who stopped them with his barrier.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG9Sy1vgvU
"Of course I didn't forget about you, Instructor Erick."
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDkQONfQn1

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkh2574Dor

Before they had the time to respond, dizziness came over them with the disappearance of the oxygen, followed by a telekinetic attack pinning them to the ground the best it could.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEK1pboK40
Both the instructors started doing their best to break free, but Raphael didn't give them the time starting by reinforcing his senses and body with his aura, before they could stand up he kicked Erick in the head with enough force to kill a level 6 essence user instantaneously,making him convulse on the ground.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8plclopu3
"Fuck you" David shouted, right after Raphael kicked Erick, sadly he got up before he could do the same to him.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4a6BLKrHP
"Now that it's you and me alone, you lost your chances at winning." Raphael says while trapping him in a barrier and taking the oxygen out.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaswAzTD0B
"Two levels 7 reduced to nothing" Raphael says disdainfully.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoj6Wi7Ksk
“There was a time you seemed unreachable.”
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe8w0iBktl
David struggles, hitting the barrier with punches and his wind ability while cursing, but his struggle does not matter, as in no time he falls to the ground passed out.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jiQe9oKtO
Raphael's chest heaving strongly to catch his breath, the strain of channeling his essence power to teleport, raising barriers,using telekinesis and manipulating the oxygen taking their toll on his body. Sweat dripped down his brow as he surveyed the battlefield, his senses heightened as he remained on guard against any further threats.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdAzvUx5rE
"7 more to go, 7 of us are already passed out and Neil's barrier is doing the bare minimum, but it doesn't matter, they already did enough." Raphael starts running towards the battle.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLCFLhWPFs
"It's done, Neil raise a barrier around you all,right now and Aria, take care of me." Raphael says while winking towards her.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUwM4CqFJs
Neil does exactly as told without questioning him, erecting his barrier. Aria gives him a startled look but quickly understands what he means.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTXbvU6XZJ
In less than a second an ear-splitting song boomed through the room, its relentless intensity pounding against eardrums like thunder, rupturing the eardrums of all outside the barrier including Raphael.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf5RnIaUyd
His hair starts turning white and he passes out, blood leaking from his ears.

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G8fsKgl9E

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB0VkaV6iX
The impact reverberated through the air, sending shockwaves rippling across the battlefield. Aria gritted her teeth, her powers strained under the pressure as she fought to maintain her ability, her focus unwavering as she protected her fallen comrade and most important person.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhInu8KYlX4

As the dust settled, Aria knelt beside Raphael's prone form, her heart heavy with concern as she surveyed his injuries. The strain of battle had taken its toll on him, his once formidable strength now depleted in the aftermath of the fierce confrontation.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTGKj89pJK

479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpIbPtf5R5
Neil nodded in agreement, his expression grave as he surveyed the battlefield. Aria decides to carry Raphael unconscious body on her arms instead of levitating him like the others.
479Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7So6lTAGG
As they made their way out of the north hall, the weight of their recent battle hung heavy in the air, a somber reminder of the dangers they faced within the corporation's stronghold. Aria, her arms cradling Raphael's unconscious body, moved with determined purpose, her gaze focused ahead as she led the group to safety.
