*Crackle* *Crackle*
*FAZOOOM!*
Countless ice spikes extended out of the walls, failing to hit their targets. A trail of ice flowed across the mansion floors right after.
The glass windows shattered, as a telekinetic wave passed through one room to another, but once again the target was missed.
*Slash*
The door to one of the rooms slashed open, Aurora and Violet emerged from it, their eyes determined as they focused on the target ahead.
A wall of ice rose in front of them, blocking the door before they ran down the hall together.
*Slash*
Rather than cutting through the ice however, the one targeting them cut through the walls as they moved from room to room before cutting through the wall beside them and emerging from it.
Long black horns could be seen extending out of his brown hair. The top half of his horn was purple. His figure was hidden beneath his cloak. In his hand was a short-sword which resembled a tanto and with it, he had a swing in motion towards Aurora.
Before Aurora could react and create another wall of ice, he suddenly suspended in the air as Violet stretched out her arms towards him.
Violet proceeded to thrust her arm downwards, propelling his figure to the ground before she propelled it outside, sending him crashing through one of the shattered windows.
After doing so, she brought him back inside, his body under her control as a result of her psychic abilities.
At that instant, two lances of ice could be seen manifested, heading right at him. Aurora had prepared them whilst he was getting ragdolled around by Violet.
Right as they were about to pierce him-
*Spark*
A spark of electricity gathered in the core of his body and a metal plate emerged from beneath his cloak right before the lances him.
Violet tried moving him closer to the lance at an angel where it could go past the steel plate but with electricity as the link, it was essentially stuck to him.
[Electromagnetism.]
*Pierce*
The plate was pierced and frozen instantly upon contact, simultaneously a burst of electricity which the horned man had been gathering was released from him sending the two flying away.
[Electric-Burst.]
With their bodys slightly numb and stinging from the electricity still flowing through them, they got up before looking up at him. Although he was able to block the first one, he wasn't able to deal with the second one.
His entire right shoulder was frozen, the ice was slowing spreading throughout the rest of his body.
Seeing this, he stretched his arm towards the two beauties ahead. Five balls of metal emerged from beneath his cloak, along with five metal knives. They were all linked by an electric current to him.
"Electro magnetism..."
The projectiles began to tremble from the pressure as they were pulled back, slowly gaining momentum.
Aurora who had seen this thought of blocking it using her wall of Ice, but something was telling her it would only result in their deaths. So together they ran into the room to their left.
Seeing this, the man sighed.
"You were marked by my electric burst. You're not getting away from this."
He snapped his finger and the knives and metal balls which had been trembling and gathering energy for the past few seconds were propelled. Rather than it heading straight ahead, they went right through the walls heading right towards the two girls.
Aurora and Violet's eyes widened as the projectiles entered into the room through one of the walls, heading directly at them.
Aurora created another ice wall as the two seperated, each leaping away from the other, but to their surprise the projectiles passed right through ice wall as if they were cutting through butter.
[Telekinesis.]
Violet who had caught on in time was able to grasp half of the knives in time with her ability, but due to her lack of accuracy and their velocity, she wasn't able to halt remainder.
Or at least that's what she thought but-
To their surprise, all of the projectiles halted in the air. But it wasn't just the projectiles, it was them as well.
------
"They should be dead by now. I need to hurry up and heat up." He spoke as he took a step forward.
To his surprise however, before he could complete his step, his movements had suddenly halted as he found himself within a strange field.
'Shit, they had another ability user?'
"Why the rush? You just got here?"
The voice came from behind. Being unable to turn around, through the corner of his eyes, he could see a figure emerge as they placed their arm around his shoulder.
'Huh...? I can't feel my arm. Hell, I can't feel anything. Am I even breathing? It's almost as if everything has just stopped. But more importantly, who is this guy?'
Short Gray hair, with bright glowing yellow irises. The clothes which he wore were torn and a little red from dry blood. The smile on his face, was visibly forced as veins could be seen bulging out of his neck and forehead.
"I hadn't noticed it before but now that I levelled up, I can pause twice as many objects as before. You came all this way... Attacked my group and even attracted all types of zombies to the area. Why not stay for a little longer?"
Those were the last words he heard before he was knocked out after suffering simulatenously hits on the back of his neck.

He awoke only to find himself surrounded in darkness. The room was pitch black, the room was filled with darkness. Although thanks to one of the horned ones special race traits, he could see slightly even in the darkness.
Looking around, the room was surprisingly empty. The only thing actually within the room being a table and empty chair.
"So I was caught, huh... There goes my shot at a promotion."
"Promotion? What Promotion?"
Cold sweat poured down his face as he heard a voice come from behind. How long had he been standing there? He hadn't even sensed him.
Looking back, he could see the same gray haired boy as before, a smile could be seen on his face as he played around with some tools on another table which was in his blindspot.
"Tell me more about this promotion.." He added.
