“Twelve, Eleven! Don’t let me down!” Two said as he launched a Pure Magical Energy Blast towards the nine Holy Knights.

“WATER DRAGON!!” Twelve yelled as she pointed her rapier towards the sky, then she aimed at Holy Knights and unleashed a water attack with the shape of a long dragon that collided with the Holy Knights.

“FIRE RAIN!!” Eleven yelled as he pointed above the Holy Knights. After a few moments flames started to rain down on the wet Holy Knights.

The Holy Knights quickly casted a shield to cover them from the flames raining on them. The Holy Knights could be heard panting heavily. After a couple of seconds the Fire Rain stopped and the Holy Knights put down their shield. The Holy Knights were carefully thinking on how to most effectively fight back with their low Magical Energy.

“I can’t guarantee we’ll all make it out alive!” The Holy Knight with the golden shield said as he raised his sword. “But let’s give it our all, so that we can eliminate these Otherworlders!”

“Try as hard as you want, it won’t change anything!” Two stated. “This is where all of you die! Time to pay for what you did to us Lunarians!”

“EVERYONE GET READY FOR THAT ATTACK!!” The Holy Knight with the golden shield yelled. “THIS IS OUR ONLY HOPE!!”

All of the Holy Knights pointed their swords towards the trio and a ball of Magical Energy started to form in front of the Holy Knights. The trio could feel a strong Magic Power from the ball as it grew in size and realized the extent of the attack.

“Damn! We won’t be able to dodge this attack!” Two said. “Eleven and Twelve let’s make a shield! Quick!!”

“YES!!” Eleven and Twelve responded.

The trio made a shield and started pouring Magical Energy into it like crazy. They were making the shield as strong as they could in order to withstand the attack no matter for how long the attack lasted.

“HOLY CANNON!!!” The Holy Knight with the golden shield yelled.

The ball of energy was now about the size of a large boulder. A white beam of energy came out of the ball and it hit the shield. The trio could hear the shield starting to crack, so they began to pour Magical Energy into the shield at an even faster pace. On the side of the Holy Knights, one Holy Knight had already collapsed and died from using up all of his energy. The Holy Knights continued to pour more power into the Holy Cannon. After thirty seconds the trio could not pour Magical Energy at a faster pace, so cracks began to spread throughout the shield. Two more Holy Knights died and collapsed. A cracking sound could be heard and the shield became unable to keep up with the power of the attack and it completely broke. The trio was completely engulfed by the attack. The Holy Cannon continued for a few more seconds before it stopped. The path of the Holy Cannon extended 20 meters and the whole vegetation was gone. After the dust settled the remaining six Holy Knights could see the trio, but it looked like they had taken no damage. Yet their posture indicated that they were injured.

“We are lucky we can regenerate our armors, I wouldn’t want to be naked in front of them!” Twelve said as she tried to balance herself. “That took a lot of energy! I don’t know how many times my armor broke and I had to regenerate it!”

“Armor Ascension is such a great Magic Technique.” Two said as he stretched.

“If we couldn’t use Armor Ascension we would be dead!” Eleven said. “But it takes quite a lot of Magical Energy to use it. To maintain it, is not as bad! That Holy Cannon was an amazing attack, but luckily for us we survived that attack!!”

“YOU MONSTERS!!” The Holy Knights yelled as they struggled to stay standing.

“From my point of view you are the monsters!” Twelve yelled. “You, the one with the golden shield. You were the one to kill Mommy and Daddy. I’ll never forget hiding alongside my brother and hearing their screams as you killed them. When I peaked, I saw their mutilated bodies as you exited my house holding that damn golden shield!! I’LL KILL YOU!!”

Twelve quickly ran towards the Holy Knight with the golden shield. As she approached him, she grabbed her rapier and started pouring Magical Energy into it. When she reached him she stabbed him through the chest and made a hole through his chest going through his heart. The Holy Knight was too exhausted to defend himself and just let the rapier penetrate him. Blood started to go down the Holy Knight’s body and once Twelve took out her rapier, his lifeless body collapsed.

“Since my sister already took care of him, now I’ll take care of other Holy Knights!” Eleven said.

Eleven used Fire Magic to make two Fire Swords and he rushed towards two Holy Knights who looked like they were preparing an attack. Eleven quickly reached them before they gathered enough Magical Energy and used the Fire Swords to slash their necks. The Fire Swords cut the necks of the two Holy Knights like butter and their heads were swiftly separated from their bodies. The flames of the Fire Sword caused cauterization on the bodies of the Holy Knights.

“I’ll give you a taste of your own medicine!” Two yelled as he started to gather Magical Energy on the palm of his hands. “This is to avenge you, EMILY!! ENERGY CANNON!!”

Two brought together his hands, aimed at the remaining three Holy Knights and fired a blast of Pure Magical Energy similar to the Holy Cannon, but with less power. The Energy Canon hit the three Holy Knights head on and their bodies completely disintegrated inside the beam. After Two’s attack finished the vegetation was one in a ten meter line from Two’s position. With Two’s attack killing the last Holy Knights inside the dungeon, all twenty Holy Knights who had entered the dungeon were dead.

“Mission accomplished!!” Two stated. “We have taken twenty of the ones who massacred us, Lunarians! There are still many people who we must kill, but now we are a step closer to completing our main goal as Lunarian Rankers!!”

“We should get out of the dungeon, as quickly as possible!” Twelve said. “We don’t know how much time we have before the guy we tied up is found and tells the others we infiltrated the Temple of Oreto!”

“Let’s get out of here because I am really hungry!” Eleven said. “I think I want to go to Moon Cafe!”

“Alright, we shall go there! I’ll pay for it!” Two said. “You guys did well! Let’s go!”

The trio quickly ran towards the portal to exit the dungeon. Once outside the dungeon and inside the Temple of Oreto, the trio sneaked through the building until the reached the manhole from where they had infiltrated. Fifteen minutes after the trio had escaped, one of the trainees went to check on his friend because he had been absent from class and found him tied up. The trainee was freed and then said that the Lunarian Rankers had escaped. The trainee reported everything that happened to Cardinal Juan and a search party was sent to the dungeon. The search party found seventeen bodies of the Holy Knights who went inside the dungeon.

“So we are missing three bodies!?” Cardinal Juan had an expression of anger. “How could I let this happen? How could I have not noticed? I let twenty kind souls be killed because I couldn’t detect those Lunarian Rankers.”

“No one could have predicted this attack, Cardinal Juan.” Cardinal August tried to confront Cardinal Juan. “I don't know what they did, but we couldn’t detect any Magic Power out of the ordinary.”

“I bet they picked today to make an attack!” Cardinal Juan said. “They somehow knew Pope Marcus, the Holy Knight Captain and Vice Captain would be attending the Deus Family Tournament!”

“Is this our punishment for what we did?” Cardinal August said.

“What do you mean?” Cardinal Juan questioned.

“I can’t tell, I swore on the name of the Goddess Oreto I would never speak of it again.” Cardinal August said. “And it seems you haven’t uncovered anything about what we talked about the day Saintess Amelia’s Staff was stolen by them.”

“There is not much information about the Mass Lunarian Suicide.” Cardinal Juan said. “Someone doesn’t want people to know the exact details of what happened that day.”

“If you haven’t looked too deeply into it, then I suggest you stop! It’s better for you to be in the dark!” Cardinal August said. “We must report today’s incident to Pope Marcus!”

“I’ll trust you! You have always been my friend, ever since we were just regular priests!” Cardinal Juan stated. “I left my phone in my room. I’ll give Pope Marcus a call.”
