Payback (9)

Since the group had to return as soon as possible, they chose the shortest route. At first, they didn't find any problems, but then the speed of the group began to decrease on the third day since they couldn't stop to rest in enemy territory. Eventually, the pursuers caught with them and then sent messages to the towns and cities along the way to help. Things were just getting troublesome at such a bad timing...

"Well, I wanted to finish this without killing too many people, but I suppose it can't be helped…" Billy thought, and then he stepped up to stop the pursuers.

Billy could only be merciful until his allies weren't in danger. He couldn't put them in danger when he could deal with the enemies. In the end, a single lightning bolt did the job… It made him kill dozens of soldiers at the same time, and several others got wounded. The vast majority trembled in fear, wondering about the possibility of becoming the next target.
