At the Capelia Sol, moments before the attack at the City Hall.
Hadrian: "She's not here."
Petra: "Master, I know you couldn't wait to see lady Sinta, but we still have to attend the meeting."
Hadrian: "The mass ended, they must've left already. They should be heading to the City Hall now. We probably went past them."
Petra: "Let's just wait for them arrive at the conference."
Hadrian: "You're right, Miss Petra."
The first explosion from the City Hall as occurred.
Hadrian: "Thats!?–"
Petra: "We have to go back immediately, young master!"
At the City Hall, after the attack.
All the guards inside are dead, the fire is all over the place, and the mysterious man is standing at the door of the conference room, preventing everyone inside from escaping.
King Reina: "You must be the one behind this!"
King Prophiet: "Whatever your intentions are, you will not succeed. Making this empire your enemy is your fatal mistake."
The leader of the cloaked terrorists then blasted the kings and queens with fire using the dragon's breath spell.
King Reina created a nullification field to neutralize the dragon's breath in order to protect everyone, but he was overpowered and the dragon's breath broke through the field.
Alran: "Father! Mother!"
King Prophiet used wind blast spell to disperse the weakened dragon's breath
King Majarlica with his ranger magic, touched the floor tile to infuse it with his mana and control it. He shattered the tile with magic, creating sharp shards as projectiles. The shards floated and thrown to the attacker at great speeds, but they're quickly shot down by his divine ray spell.
King Prophiet: "He can perform divine ray?! He might be far stronger than us."
King Majarlica: "What's taking the knights so long?"
Terrorist Leader: "I'm afraid your knights are being taken care of by one of our members. I doubt she can hold them for so long, thus I have to finish all of you quickly."
He once again quickly cast divine ray and hit King Majarlica in his stomach and fell.
The divine ray spell was an instantaneous beam of light that vaporizes anyone in it's way. This spell is one of the fastest and most powerful, but difficult to master among Arch Mages as it requires the user to concentrate all of their mana, which usually goes in all-outward direction, into just one direction similar to how you focus the sunlight to one point using a magnifying glass.
Because of this King Reina wasn't able to react quick enough, and even if he did, he will not be able to block it.
Queen Majarlica screamed in horror: "No!! Please somebody save him!!"
King Prophiet cast dragon breath: "You Bastard!"
Queen Prophiet: "Dear!"
The Leader once again cast divine ray. This outmatched his dragon breath, countering it and pierced King Prophiet's chest.
Queen Prophiet cried: "Stop!! Stop this already, please!!"
King Reina: "You monster!"
Powerless to protect the others, King Reina lost all hope and went on a last-ditch effort to tackle. The defender class mages with no means of attacking, no offense type of spells they can use, pride themselves in nullifying attacks instead, but when faced with a greater power that makes their abilities entirely obsolete, there is nothing to hope for, but a miracle.
The Leader set him on fire with dragon breath, but King Reina didn't falter and continued to charge at him, grabbing him and setting him on fire as well with his own flames. In his final attempt to save everyone, King Reina encased him in his point blank range mana-nullifying zone around him, making it harder for the attacker to cast spells while disrupting his focus by overwhelming him with a barrage of punches. Both of them now resorted to their fists, beating each other while burning alive. The only thing preventing them from passing out from all the pain is their adrenaline and will to live.
The Terrorist now desperate to escape cast a weakened supernova spell between himself and King Reina. A spell that resembles a star while being casted before releasing a powerful explosion that normally tear stones and metals apart used in panic, sending the two flying. Although both of them are exhausted to death, they still managed to stand back up after everything. The only reason the spell didn't take both of them out was because of King Reina's nullifying field, and the fact that the Terrorist can not focus properly to fully realize the spell.
Terrorist Leader: "Commendable efforts, but I'm afraid this has to end quickly."
The leader unleashed his final attack. The most powerful divine ray he could possibly conjure, both swift and unstoppable. This time he went all out to make sure it all ends here. King Reina tried to dodge but he couldn't. Hitting him exactly in the heart and he finally fell.
The terrorist points at both queens: "The two of you, if you want me to spare the children, give up your life."
The two queens cried and said their farewell to their children one last time.
Queen Prophiet: "Live a long and happy life you three. Always remember, the three of you, both your father and I loves you and we will always be proud of you. Alran, from now on you have to protect your sisters. I know it won't be easy, but I know you can. I love you."
Queen Majarlica: "Timaeus, my dear. You've always made me proud. No matter where you end up to I want you to remember that you will never be alone and unloved. Your big brother will be there for you... We've been there for you. We love you, dear."
Cries from the children and the mothers are heared throughout the burning hallways and crumbling walls. Echoing a horrific moment that will unfold in the eyes of the innocent children.
The women kneeled in front of the terrorist with their face down, preparing for their honorable demise. As he was about to cast his dragon breath, Timaeus suddenly ran towards them and tried to shield his mother but it turned futile as both of them are engulfed in the flames.
Screams of agony from the three are heard as the shadows of their body convulsing by the immense pain within the raging wall of fire we're being cemented into the memories of the young prince Alran and the six princesses.
Terrorist Leader sighs in guilt: "Now to meet with the others in the City Square. I wonder if Helen got there already."
He ran as he left the scene, leaving the City Hall in the verge of collapse from the fire and explosion.
Back in the City Square.
Ymae found herself at the top floor in one of the bell towers of the square when the explosion of the other bell tower exploded.
She gazed outside the window seeing the tower crumble down as she panic. She was about to leave the premises when one of the terrorist lady walked in. Ymae hid assuming she's responsible for the attack and watched her silently. The woman planted the barrels of gunpowder in different corners of the tower, and as she does, Ymae managed to catch a glimpse of the woman's face. The cloaked woman went down the stairs once she was finished and left. Ymae waited for a while before trying to escape. She took her footwear off and sneaked through the stairs when suddenly the cloaked woman catches her.
Terrorist woman: "Where do you think you're going, kid?"
