Pov Ivan:
As soon as the master gave the order, everyone left, I joined Safira and Samira heading towards the city.
In the middle of the way, many Fairies and Spirits passed over us, entering the city from above while we had to deviate our path.
"Can we leave the tracking to you, Samira?" (I)
"You can, my sister made sure to teach me about tracking techniques and skills." (Samira)
We all jump over the city walls as the gates are in chaos with people trying to clear the gates.
When we got closer to the gates we saw what I think were Knights and Soldiers fighting monsters that looked like Centaurs with the upper part of their bodies being that of Demons with red bodies.
I also saw a few dozen people being protected by some soldiers.
That's why I made everyone go astray.
"Wouldn't it be better if we helped the people near the gate?" (Sapphire)
"They were of our strength level than us, our presence in combat would have messed up their trained coordination." (I)
"Besides, my Father said not to engage in combat." (Samira)
"Master Zenos just wants to rescue people, fighting here won't contribute to that." (I)
As soon as we get to the city we see the city in ruins, there are explosions and fire everywhere, I can also hear screams of death and battle cries everywhere.
"< Serpent Blade > ×30" (Sapphire)
"< Mist of the Dead >" (Ivan)
As soon as we reach the ground we are attacked by dozens of Demonic monsters, I exchange a look with Sapphire and she initiates an attack to stop the initial onslaught of the monsters while I create a fog of death that blocks the senses of all living creatures.
We use it to escape the monsters, before on the way to the city all groups will receive a telepathic overview of the city, so we separate it by regions.
I hold Safira and Samira's hands as I throw myself into the city's confusing alleys, it'll be best to avoid being seen like this.
"Under that rubble!" (Samira)
Suddenly I hear Samira say something as she points to a house that has collapsed, I look at Samira, her eyes and rabbit ears have an aura condensed in them.
I run to where she points and focusing my mana into my hands after releasing both, I run forward using a mana pulse to find magical reactions underneath the rubble.
"< Bone Stake >" (I)
Dozens of bone spikes rose from beneath the rubble, pushing him out of the way as I rescued a man who was buried by the rubble, there was a body next to him, it looked like a woman's body, but the skull was crushed.
"I found a child." (Samira)
"(We are opening a teleport door, you have a few seconds to bring in the wounded.)" (Nicole)
"Did you hear that?" (I)
"Yea." (Sapphire/Samira)
My bracelet that Nicole gave me along with everyone else starts to glow then I feel Layla's Aura emerge from the bracelet into my shadow where an oval door appears filling with swirling shadows.
"Samira." (I)
Samira takes the man and child inside the door before returning in less than 10 seconds without anyone.
"Let's continue." (Sapphire)

Pov Kira:
I was leading the others in being able to predict where monsters will try to attack us, Orion has good instincts and senses maybe better than mine, but he doesn't have the malice of an Assassin, he thinks like a predator just hunting.
We were going through the sewers to the other side of the city, Orion was carrying Elsaris while I was riding on top of Byakko, as these two running at full speed it only took a few minutes to reach the other side of the city, and return to the surface.
"< Meaning of Life >" (I)
I use my skills to find as many people nearby as possible, and for that, I use my agility in my eyes at the same time that I am strengthening my eyes with my Aura.
With that, I was able to see the points where there were living beings, and I informed the others pointing in those directions.
I run to a house where I found a Human couple hiding in the basement, I extend my hand and guide them out where I find Orion m three very thin children on his back, Elsaris was carrying two women, one of them Runic and the other Human, they were seriously wounds.
"(I'm opening a teleport door, get ready.)" (Nicole)
From my leftovers, a large flower blooms revealing a water mirror inside the flower that would fit 3 people together.
"All of you come in!" (I)
I use my Aura to force the couple to come in as they have been slowly moving away since Orion appeared and I don't have time to act calm with them just because they are scared.
"There's food there." (Orion)
With Orion's words, the children run and jump inside the flower-shaped door, for their old and tattered clothes as well as their thin bodies, they must be raised on the street, they don't care so much about monsters, for them, the most important thing is the food of the day, I saw many like them in the old days.
"I'll be back." (Elsaris)
Elsaris jumps into the gate with the two wounded women he was carrying.
"< Metal Rune: Iron Prison > ×3" (Kira)
"< Bloodlust >" (Orion)
The moment Elsaris jumped into the teleportation door, 3 big purple birds fell from the sky in an attack against us, their presence even from a distance made me feel afraid, while with Byakko's help I increased the power of my technique and hit the Runes on the 3 monsters that didn't even try to dodge.
This Rune will attract everything that is iron in a distance of 500 meters, attaching everything to the target body of the Rune, breaking or deviating does not matter, even broken does not change the fact that something is made of iron, and deviating will continue to follow the target.
Orion seems to have done something too, as the monsters enter an abnormal state that fills them with murderous intent causing them to even attack each other.
"Let's get out of here." (Elsaris)
As soon as Elsaris returned from the gate we ran, it was not our focus to defeat the monsters, so we abandoned the fight as we ran to the next point where my senses show where the injuries are hiding

Pov Ragnar:
"What should we do?" (Barok)
"Nothing, the master ordered that we should not fight." (Jade)
"She's right, we wouldn't be useful in this fight anyway, you must have noticed." (I)
"..." (Barok)
We had already been here for 20 minutes and had saved over 80 people, now we were looking at a fight between Adventurers and monsters.
For us from the outside it is clear that the Adventurers are going to die they are exhausted by the intensity of the battle while the new ores keep coming, all are above the Upper Catastrophe Grade, they are above our strength level making it impossible for us to do anything.
"Let's focus on why they're fighting." (I)
"Are you sure? They're far from the building." (Jade)
"There must be some sort of barrier, but it seems the focus isn't completely sealing off the Aura, just enough for the monsters not to notice." (I)
"They're luring the monsters away from the building." (Barok)
"I believe so, so don't waste this chance." (I)
In addition to the group of 8 Adventurers in their last moments of fight and the hundreds of monsters surrounding the Adventurers, I was focused on a building where I feel light traces of Aura of hundreds of different types.
I approach the building in my humanoid form with Barok and Jade at my side, then I control my Aura to touch the barrier without forcing it, I do this to transmit my voice through my Aura to the people inside the building which seems to be some kind of warehouse do not be afraid.
"We're here to rescue you, so get out quickly, we don't have much time." (I)
In a short time, another Adventurer opens the door, this one had lost an eye and was bandaged in the chest, by the size it must have been a big wound.
"Are you from the Guild?"
"No, but we're here to get you out of town, we have to be quick." (I)
"In between..."
"Damn it, we don't have any more time, RUN OUT NOW!" (I)
"(Nicole, OPEN THE PORTAL!)" (I)
My biggest fear has finally happened, the giant creature that was trying to get out of the crack in the sky has put half of its body out and is slowly getting out.
It was humanoid in shape and wore armor, but the head was grotesque with a large eye where the beak should be and screw-shaped horns protruding from the eyes, there were also 2 pairs of metal wings like blades on its back.
"(Everyone go through the Teleport door, NOW!)" (Zenos)
I saw people passing through the teleportation door that looks like an oval door that came out of my shadow, after the last of them passed I went through the door with the others appearing in an open field far away from the city in time to see the creature completely leave the room crack that closes behind him.
The creature was the size of a mountain, it must be dozens of meters high and its Aura was making me shiver even though I was far away, at that moment a large head of a Black Dragon descended from the clouds, swallowing half of the creature's body.
"I took care of the big one, make do with the rest."
