"It won't take long. I will soon free you from your suffering." The cloaked man retracted his hand, and the bound holy maiden flew towards him.
"I won't let you do what you want! Light Cutter!" Ariel took her longsword and slashed the cloaked man with a holy magic attack.
*Slash* *Slash*
Dozens of slashes of light sent the cloaked back reflexively, and Steph used the opportunity to free Ella.
"Would you like to play around for a while before the main event? Unfortunately, I don't have the patience. Please handle them, but don't kill them. We can use them to take revenge on the Holy Church." The cloaked man smirked and made a wave of darkness to draw the holy maiden to him.
"Ah!" Ella was running towards Ariel, but a force suddenly pulled her back.
