Rescue (Part-1)

Alyssa realised that the black robes are after her, possibly due to her possessing the magic eyes, knowing these people won't let her go, she decides to fight, due to the fact she forgot to bring her magic sword, she used magic to create a aether sword, made for pure aether, prepared for battle, Thomas, William, Albert, Gilbert and other three brother, Maximillian, James, Henry also prepared as well. Maximillian Von Cerberus, James Von Cerberus and Henry Von Cerberus are the sons of emperor's 3rd wife, Amelia Von Cerberus, unlike other wives of emperor, Amelia was a commoner and a daughter of wealthy merchant, her both parents were non-mages but Amelia herself possess magic ability, she specialises in elemental magic that control elements, in fact she could easily handle all six elements, 2 of her sons chose to use elemental magic like her except they could handle only 3 elements, Maximillian as a magic warrior prefers water, fire and dark elements in his arsenal, water elemental spell can control of water and ice, fire elemental spell can control fire and heat, dark elemental spell are good for curses, James on other hand as a support prefers air, earth and light elements in his arsenal, air elemental spells control wind and fog, earth elemental spells control earth and stone, light elemental spells are good for buffing. Henry unlike his brothers uses two magics, divination magic and time magic. Thomas decides to take care of the leader since, he believed himself to be strongest since unlike his other brother as the student of sage who has the close ties his maternal family, and as the result he not only specializes in all types of magic but like his mother and maternal relatives he also specializes in alchemy, he took out a potion, uncorked it and drank it, afterward he unsheath his sage sword attacked the leader of black robes, the potion he drank was a sage potion, that temporarily amplifies its drinker overall magic strength tenfold, besides, this is not bought by anyone, Thomas has brewed it himself and he takes immense pride in it, as it is the one of the most difficult potion to make, his sage sword is a powerful magic sword that depending on its users strength can be used to fight 100 to 10000 high ranking magicians effortlessly, but since, it consumes so much mana, only sages can uses it for prolonged time, hence, the reason why it is called sage sword. Thomas's brother William who only specilizes in alchemy gave the potions to all the everyone in the hall to aid them in fight againt the black robes, emperor and marquis also unsheath their magic swords and prepared to battle, those who cannot use magic took out their revolvers. The fight begun, the sound of sword clashing, explosions and gunfire filled the room. David hid himself not because he was scared, he don't want to reveal his powers yet. Three black robes pounced on Alyssa but she effortlessly slayed them with her aether sword, leader fought the 1st prince but he couldn't get chance to strike on his empowered foe, thus, forcing him to be on defensive. Maximillian went on rampage against the black robes killing many of them with his ice shard and flames, he further uses curses to weaken his enemies making his slaugther easier, James supporting everyone uses wind blades to keep the black robes busy, creating an opening for others to strike he also created earth wall to protect those who cannot fight as well as used his light magic to buff the allies making them formidable opponents to black robes. Henry used his time magic to slow down his enemies as well as increase the speed of allies, Gilbert using direct harm spell, directly wound his enemies, he also used create undead spell to turn fallen black robes into undead and send them to fight the remaining black robes. Albert using his healing spell healed the wounds of allies allowing them to continue the fight, he also ressurected the recently dead allies as well, thus maintaining the numbers of the allies. The entire battle become nothing more than the display of power for marquis's daughter and the seven princes, this boost everyone confidence and resulting in them fighting their enemies without any fear, black robes have their morale shaken wondered if they should continue the fight, however, their leader does seem to scared at all on contrary he gave a sneer. David who was watching the entire fight felt that there is nothing to fear, as the black mages and the firearms wielders will take care of the intruders on their own. Soon all the intruder get killed at hands of people in the hall leaving their leader as the sole survivor. "Long live the marquis's daughter! Long live the seven princes!", everyone cheered, Johnathan seems to be proud of his daughter for putting the good fight with intruder, emperor Heinz was also proud of his sons for taking out all the intruder and displaying their full power, everyone thought it was all over, Thomas was about to behead the leader of black robe leader, but suddenly black smoke came out of black robed guy, "What is this, is that some form of black necromancy?", Albert asked Gilbert, "Although black necromancy is sinister magic, that magic is certainly to sinister for even for black necromancy", Gilbert replied, everyone was confused but Thomas realised everything and panicked, "Don't tell me, you....", Thomas said, "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!, TOO LATE!", the black robed man replied, the man burst into black flames, creating a portal, and what come out was a demon, a real demon, it was ba'al, the demon king of poison and disease, everyone panicked, ifn it were a normal demon, they could have handled it, but it was a demon king, only sage and pope can defeat such existance, although 1st prince thomas is the disciple of one of the empire's sage and could use sage sword, he is still far from becoming a true sage. Suddenly for unknown reason, Henry charged toward demon king Ba'al, but was pushed back with his punch, Henry hit the wall and cough mouthful of blood, "Henry!!", Thomas screamed, Albert immediately rushed towards to heal him, "Ha, ha, ha , ha!, so you managed to defeat my servent, impressive but unfortunately you are no match for me", Ba'al, moved in light speed without giving any chance for anyone to react and grabbed alyssa after knocking her out, "Her magic eyes will be great assetv to us demons", the demon king spoked in sinister tone, "On my grave!", Johnathan spoke, "I won't let you", Thomas shouted, "Count me in", Maximillaian said, after this three along with countless other charged at the demon but the demon easily wounded them, after this he opened the portal and left the scene, seeing the wounded everyone fell into despair again, suddenly, a group of sages as well as pope and his church guards along with templars entered, "Looks like we are late", one of the sage said, "Damn it, I can't believe that a demon will appear here! But it can't be helped afterall, who could have guess there would be a traitor among our rank who would disable the holy barrier in this region, which allow a demon to teleport here with the help of one of those cultist", pope said, after hearing this everyone understood what happened the holy barrier cfreated by church was disabled allowing a demon to enter here, all the people in hall become angry and blamed the pope and church for not doing their job properly, the sage however calmded the people down, one can forward and saw the situation, his name is Edward Harvey, one of the sage legendary sage of empire's mage council as well as Thomas's teacher, he is also the one who in past fought Ba'al defeated him, although the cowardy demon king managed to escape, "Master, sorry I failed", Thomas with a tear in his eye said, "You did your best, besides it's not your fault that the you failed to protect the marquis's daughter, afterall you are still not ready, if anyone is there to blame then it us and the pope for not coming sooner", sage Edward reassured Thomas, "But how we will find lady Alyssa and that cowardy demon king Ba'al?", one of the sage said, "I can", someone spoke, everyone looked at source of sound, it was Henry who charged at the demon king and was wounded, fortunately, thanks to Albert he is fully healed now, he showed a piece of cloth to the sages and the pope, "This is....", pope said, "It is the piece of cloth worn by that demon, the reason I charged at him was to pick this up, since, I knew I can't defeat him, I instead took it, as a mean to detect him with the help of my divination magic", Henry said with a smile, "But....", one of the sage spoke but interrupted by Henry, "Don't worry my divination is among the top level I will locate that demon", Henry replied, after hearing this the despair of the people vanished replaced by hope, "Ha, ha, ha!, well done my son, I knew my sons never cease to amaze me!", emperor Heinz praised Henry causing him to blush red, everyone was reinvigorated after this, "Then we must not waste we must rescue lady Alyssa", sage Edward said to which everyone agreed, after this, the sages, pope, church gaurds, templar, emperor, marquis the soldier of both emperor and marquis the 7 princes all went to the journey to save Alyssa, however, no one noticed, 'he' is not there.
