A weird person in a white cloak approached, while Drenograd was slowly getting consumed by explosions.

"And who might you be, a runaway monk?" Ivan said jokingly.

"An interesting joke" replied the man. "My name is Lothar Neuer, i am a member of the Blood rose order"

"Good for you, i am Ivan Sergejevič" Ivan mocked him.

"Don't mess with me!" Lothar yelled, and an icicle appeared behind him, which he threw at Ivan, who dodged easily.

"Come on man, at this rate i won't even need to move in order to defeat you" Ivan continued to mock him, which made Lothar even more angry, and he threw more icicles, which Ivan managed to dodge effortlessly.

"Stop messing with me kid, and take this seriously" Lothar yelled out.

"Seriously huh? Fine then, you guys go out to the city to help, trust me, you don't want to see me when i'm serious" Ivan said, and everybody else scattered around town to help.

"Now then, we are finally alone, let's get this show going" Ivan exclaimed, and he swiftly appeared behind Lothar, and fired a wind arrow, but Lothar managed to freeze it solid, and throw it back at Ivan, who cut it in half with his wind.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Ivan shot three wind arrows from his bow, but Lothar evaded them, then Lothar's fist became blue and cold as ice, and he went for a straight punch, but Ivan jumped back and avoided the punch. Then Ivan shot another wind arrow, but Lothar froze it, and threw it back at him, Ivan quickly shot another wind arrow, the two collided and disappeared.

"What are you doing?" Lothar yelled, as Ivan sat on the ground and opened a bottle of rakija.

"Let's have a drink!"

"Stop fucking with me!!!!" Lothar exclaimed loudly and threw another icicle at Ivan, who dodged it effortlessly.

"Your slow attacks stand no chance against me, sit down, let's just drink and talk this out" said Ivan, which enraged Lothar even more, and he started throwing icicles randomly, but Ivan dodged them all effortlessly.

"You combined water and wind in order to create those ice spells, that is impressive, but you are clearly not skilled enough with them yet, use your innate magic"

"Shut up!" Lothar yelled, as his entire body became blue and cold as ice, then a freezing aura erupted from him, and the temperature around them dropped.

Meanwhile, the other three scattered around the city to cover more ground.

All Andrej could see around him were demolished houses, rubble and smoke, most of the city was already destroyed, and the explosions showed no signs of stopping.

"This time, i mustn't let the others down, like i did that day" those thoughts gave Andrej a lot of tension after his last battle.

"Weakling!" a shout could be heard from one of the demolished houses, and Andrej there saw a really tall man with a well builded body and muscles, he was wearing the same white cloak as Lothar did, but his was ripped in half.

"I knew it, another weak kid, i'll enjoy breaking your bones"

"Okay, then come and break me apart" Andrej taunted.

"With pleasure"

Katarina was running around the city, but all she could see were ruins and corpses, but then a fireball hit her in the face, she looked up and saw a tall man in a white cloak.

"Hey you" she said.

"Are you talking to me?" the man asked tauntingly.

"This guy is already getting on my nerves"

"Shut up and let's fight already"

"Here i come" the man said as his hands caught on fire.

The part of the city where Anya was relatively untouched, but she could see houses getting demolished by a woman wearing the same white cloak.

"Hey you girl" the woman said to Anya.

"What do you want?"

"It's not good to talk like that"

"Who are you to lecture me, my mom?" Anya said, that enraged the woman and she jumped forwards for an attack.
