Arrow of Destiny
Third person POV :
Julian didn't care about her speech and slashed his flame clad dagger at her .His attack drew a trail of blood making her panicked.
" I blocked all you senses how can you still attack me !!", he heard a panicked voice from all around him. She took a step back but he moved in her direction. Some men blocked his but Julian blasted them with flames and focused on the woman . Julian's vision fluctuated and in front of him appeared 10 copies of the same woman .He knew that it was an illusion as he didn't sense anything from the figures with KI . Julian ignored the figured and tried to expand his range of sensing but the woman was good at hiding her mana signatures .
She was very fast and was running around the whole cave making her position confusing . From the initial confrontation he figured that she initially blocked all the person's senses and use her voice all around him to confuse them and attack them with physical attacks while showing illusions. Julian's KI detected an attack which he blocked as a shied emerged in front of him . Based on the direction of attack he fired a spell but it didn't manage to hit anyone . If he was alone he would have incinerated the entire cave but there were his allies along with the villagers he had to protect .
Julian's KI could easily sense her attacks if she was nearby . The only downside to his KI was that he lacked range . Julian didn't learn mana zone so he couldn't sense her location far away from her. He don't want to waste more time as he doesn't know whether Magna or Vanessa would be able to react to her attacks . His vision and hearing is blocked so he can't confirm their situation .
" How frustrating " he muttered
---
With Magna and Vanessa :
" This chick is hot ..why don't we have some fun after we are done ,boss should allow it right " -mage 1
" Shut up and focus here first "-mage 2
Vanessa found herself surrounded by 7 people , she looked ahead and found 2 men approach Julian but Julian overpowered them .
" Looks like I have to work hard ..can't make him do all the work can I ." Vanessa hardened her strings and jumped in the air while covering a mage who was near her from head to toe .
Magna shot created a bat with fire and began shooting fireballs at the enemies but one of them had water magic so his attack was neutralized . One of them had ground magic which created spiked directly beneath Manga to impale him but Magna kicked the ground with reinforcement mana while thin strings of mana formed around his hands holding the mage which came from behind him .
Magna had the least amount of mana out of all the Black Bulls so he continually tried creating spells that could cost less mana . The strings of mana was him trying to copy Vanessa's magic . Strings took very less mana but the effect ranged from holding enemies , grabbing thing or melting the skin of the enemy with the condition that they did not surpass basic reinforcement magic . With Julian joining his squad he found someone else with fire magic and good mana control that helped him a lot .
Magna focused on the mages and the temperature of the strings increased and melting the skin of the mage .The mage screamed in pain but hit on the head with mana clad punch by Magna making him faint . Sensing danger Magna dodged a rock spike that emerged from the ground followed by bullets of water .
Magna looked all around and found Vanessa was fighting someone with speed type magic who could cut down her strings. Due to the large no. of opponents she was having a hard time dodging .
" This is bad , If my increase the range of my intensity of the attacks the ,villagers would be harmed "he thought .
With no other choice he shouted " Vanessa help me move the villagers in a corner first " .
Both of them jumped towards the villagers and enveloped as many Villagers as possible . String magic was Vanessa's natural magic so she could cover almost all the villagers . As they started moving the enemy mages didn't stay idle and started showering with spells at them . Magna dropped the villagers and created an explosion near them creating smoke and blocking their view . After they successfully moved the villagers to a corner strings came out from the ground creating a dome around them .This was the lest protection Vanessa could give them
But all of sudden Magna's vision and hearing went blank , Vanessa saw the attacker and dodged while moving Magna away . A woman who was running through the walls jumped towards Vanessa with a knife but strings blocked her path . Vanessa realised that she could not get hit by her attack as Magna stopped moving after coming under her spell . Vanessa captured another mage making him take the hit of the woman .
Due to experience in battle Magna knew either he was in an illusion or someone blocked his sensed. " Vanessa , if you can hear me attach your strings around me . Someone blocked my senses , you are my only option " Magna created a bat of flames and waited and as expected he felt strings attaching to his body and making him swing his bat forward . Strings emerged from the feet of Vanessa which got attached to the walls making her maneuver and dodge attacks freely while helping Magna.
As soon as he felt the bat hit something he increased the input of flames causing an explosion from the bat for extra damage .
" AaHH ,Damn you bastard ! " a mage cried out by Magna swinged his bat harder smashing the mage to the ground . The water mage attacked again but Vanessa was successfully able to move the mage .Although Magna didn't master KI he could somewhat sense the direction of the spell so he started spamming fire balls at him exploding the mage . But there was a problem Magna was getting out of mana to spare , he has to keep some reserved mana if things go too downhill . Vanessa who focused on Magna got careless for a second got hit from behind and cried out in pain .

Julian thought of every possible way to resolve this situation . In the moment of desperation his grimoire shined and words began to visible on its pages providing him with a spell whose description didn't fail to surprise him
" Flame creation magic : Arow of destiny"
(An arrow that will hit the target anywhere around 1km who has been marked with mana signature)
"That's broken! "
He quickly summoned 10 arrows . They shined with blood red light much different from the reddish yellow arrow he normally used. He thought of the woman and sent the arrow at a random direction. The cave lost its light for a moment and the only thing visible was his arrows that zoomed through and pierced the abdomen of the woman earning a painful grunt making her drop on the floor. Red flames from the pierced arrows directly burned away a large chuck of her mana.
His vision returned the moment she dropped on the floor. He surveyed the surrounding and found half of the men defeated but Magna and Vanessa were in a pinch .Flames burst out from his feet talking him closure to them nearly instant .
"Flame creation magic : Phoenix missile " , small explosives in the shape of birds blasted the mages.
Some mages tried to defend by they found that red flames covered their body draining away their mana and burning their skin . As soon as all the mages were marked by his mana he fired his new spell again .
" Flame creation magic : Arrow of destiny " Blood red arrows formed around Julian piercing every mage in the abdomen and various parts of the body. One by one all the mages dropped on the floor solving the case for now .
