Ch 2 P3 What lurks beneath the Surface

Vyra was at 10 minutes at her target, at a certain point she made a sharp turn left, with a quick motion of her wrist a blue ball of light could be seen trailing behind her, then with a hand sign those balls of light duplicated and became illusions of herself, close to both Vyra manifested a little light elemental in the form of a ball of light with eyes and little hands and feet, evidently this little one had a lot to say, has it started chirping in a very similar way as a little bird would, it was clearly enraged.

"Yeah Lux, i understand, after this we'll get a burger" after another chirp she said "and some chips, anyway, create a trap about 200 meters from here, let's wait till he reaches us" at this point she hands the little ball of light a red button, "use this to contact the boss, make sure that our transportation is ready, remember to occult every thing, no one can see us" after this the ball made a military salute and with a decisive chirp, and turned invisible, "okay now, the bomb were the heck did they put that thing has to be diffused now. As she closed her eyes again she found nothing with the method she used before, with this she made the spontaneous decision to make a right turn, while she was doing that she made and hand sign an muttered in the lowest voice possible "Enclosure: midnight dominion", after this she imagined in her mind a sacrificial circle and and thought 'i sacrifice ten percent of my total mana capacity to enhance my enclosures illusionary and agility effects', Vyras enclosure had the rare capability to move with his user and simultaneously did not completely change the terrain in a sea of shadows, it just made it darker. A perfect terrain for stealth(especially at night) it emitted and costed just enough mana to not be noticed by the mana sensors in every corner of the city, You see ARKhen was thought to be one of the most secure cities on the planet, in part by the average strength of the officer that patrolled the city (B rank technique with 5 years of training, and vast knowledge in elemental spells), the problem of their officers was mana perception, as it wasn't in the curriculum of the police force they simply did not learn it, to make up this the city over time had installed mana sensors in every possible corner and crevice of the streets, what the city did not account for was that some occultation abilities and spells straight up ignored them, at this point she heard it, her targets shot.

Bang

After she avoided the shot at the last second she said "Good he is trailing me... let's stall it out a bit, the problem is his aim, plus i couldn't detect the mana from the bullet and he is very almost too precise at long distance..." at this she gasped and expanded completely her enclosure, making sure to use her illusory ability to create mist and smoke, as much of those to as possible, enclosing the entire area in it, she made sure to concentrate a part of it near an abandoned building, at the same time she jump from the roof she was standing on and into an apartment, at this time she took out a button very similar to what she gave to Lux, and contacted the light sprite, "Stop what you are doing they duped us, the target is a different one that they said, and he seems well prepared in dealing with my ability,-" at this moment she felt something returning in her soul and

BOOM 

An explosion was heard about 300 meters from her position, "SHIT!" after feeling her partners defeat she took the button and crushed it under her foot, at this point, she had to head out and fast, the tavern wasn't secure at a base of operations anymore, plus fighting someone here was risky, especially if the could camouflage their mana so well, but heading out of the city was risky, plus i can safely assume that after the stunt that i pulled here the area will be filled with officers in seconds, after a couple of deep breaths, she chose to use her shadow travel to try and escape the area and arriving at the outskirts of the city, the problem was being detected, her mana signature would be decently traceable, basically she would leave a path that takes directly to her, the first things to do was unsummoning the enclosure, then with a burst of mana she made sure that the whole districts block activated, it was fairly easy thing to do since she had a lot more mana than the average mage, then she started ravaging thru the drawers of the apartment in search of some money, even if she left safely it would not be easy to exit the city without some bribery, after she found nothing she cursed her luck and opened the window and started teleporting shadow to shadow out of there, "FUCK,FUCK,FUCK!" there spy among her group and since this was the chiefs private mission she knew exactly who was the one at fault, the girl's voice could be heard muttering and cursing the ten heavens, after a bit of travel she sent out a mana wave using the echolocation method and, to her surprise very little people had followed her, well it wasn't that surprising considering the speed of teleportation, anyway she had 3 people following her, and the most threatening was the person that shot her, her ex target, the other 2 people were evidently very fast, while he was trailing behind and biding his time now that the occultation talisman that the guy had were expiring, the only problem was not knowing the abilities of her pursuers, so she decided to use elemental magic considering that probably neither of the 3 expected her to use it, plus it was a method of ensuring a counter to that fucking rifle since the speed of that bullet was fast, almost too fast, the best way to counter speed was heat, it too had be fast, she could not risk any of the 2 police officers to make a binding vow to survive it, even worst a sacrificial ritual, since she made a binding vow for her enclosure, it drained her mental stamina, and she could not permit herself to risk making another one, it would leave her mind drained for an hypothetical fight with the guy, and at least until she isn't able to discern her pursuers mana pool she didn't trust herself
