Chapter 298 Ambush
"Mark, don't do this." Uriel broke the silence as the Dungeon Raiders were surrounded by hunters and soldiers alike.
"Ha, ha, ha! Can you believe this guy? Hey! I'm talking to you, bitch!" Mark pulled the leash causing Cassandra to fall face first on the ground. Her hair was disheveled and her eyes seemed devoid of emotion.
"Sister!" Luna cried, but then fell silent gritting her teeth.
"Luna? Luna is it really you?" Cassandra lifter her gaze and for a glimpse of a second her face brightened up.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here? I didn't know you were a package deal," Mark laughed mockingly, but then his face became serious. "Hand her over and I'll consider letting you live."
"I warned you already, don't do this or else." Uriel coldly replied, only this time Mark didn't laugh.
"Hey, kid! You're going to get us killed!" Said the leader of the Armstrong men as he forced Uriel to lower his head. Then, Miss Dragonfang who belonged to the Dungeon Raiders security team hurried over to try and make an excuse.
"Forgive him, please. He's not good in the head. He's also just the cleaning staff, don't pay him any mind. Miss Nika, say something." The former lieutenant begged.
Nika crossed her arms and lingered for a few seconds with her eyes closed. She didn't know what was going on, but she knew Uriel wouldn't act without a plan.

"You think this is a joke!? Grab them!"
Mark's new goons walked menacingly towards the small group of hunters who had lost all hopes of making it alive, but they didn't count with a single detail. Uriel wasn't a pushover, not anymore, and he would never let anyone lay a hand on his treasures or his friends without a fight.
A metallic clicking sound was soon followed by a loud bang and the first attacker fell limp to the ground with a bullet to the head. Blood had splattered all over the place and for a moment everything paused.
"I warned you, the next to come at us will share the same fate." Uriel said as though putting a bullet through a person's skull was nothing but a formality. Everyone, even Nika, thought that would be enough to deter at least some of them from attacking them but reality was different.
Everyone held complicit smirks on their faces and after a few seconds, the man who was shot and should have died was standing like nothing happened.
"You made a grave mistake, Urinal. Your last one." Mark's smile revealed a pair of protruding fangs that looked anything but human. Mark expected Uriel to cower in fear, but he remained calm and composed.
"What are you?" He asked with curiosity, but that only served to stoke Mark's rage.
"What are you idiots waiting for, I said grab them! I'll take care of this one." Mark roared and the fight broke out.
It only took a couple seconds for everyone to realize that everyone in Mark's group possessed the same fangs and didn't die even after receiving the most gruesome wounds. It was an unfair advantage, but that didn't mean everything was lost.
The Armstrong men all possessed physical enhancing traits and were able to hold their ground. Miss Dragonfang shapeshifted into her lizard like skin and did her best to protect those around her, particularly Phlox whose trait wasn't suited for combat and she was only an evolved. But what stood out the most was the impressive coordination of those from the security team.
"Don't blame me for what's about to happen." Uriel said as he took a step forward.
