Reconquest

'Which Rune to use? Which one?' Ares' flow of mana suddenly changed and he diminished his pace. 

The others noticed it and didn't need a single word to know what was happening. Indeed, they had their own suspicions about being surrounded. 

Ares' crimson eyes darted around, he sharpened his ears and other senses. His expression was dead serious and a hint of anxiety could be seen on his face. It looked like he was being haunted by a ghost, which he could not see but feel.

"Second Rune: Lightning Rush!" Ares dashed forward. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of his friends already. The only thing the latter saw before the redheaded boy suddenly appeared before them was a flash of yellow light passing by. 

"What happened?" Mark asked, looking over his shoulder.

Ares was slightly behind the ground before, so they couldn't see it. 

'Uh? Arrows?' the bulky man saw a bunch of arrows scattered around on the paved street.
