"Nonsense, you just dream of strange things, that's not a skill, just your imagination." Daphne spoke.
"Hm..." Cassandra lamented, as her visions were also a curse, and no one believed her, treating her as weird because of it, except Daphne, but that didn't mean her friend believed in her predictions.
'Maybe he believes in me...' Cassandra couldn't help but murmur, remembering Xin demanding her as a reward in a war between families.
As soon as Apollo, Luan, Daphne, Cassandra, and the rest of the family arrived outside, they could see the mansion side in flames.
They watched helplessly as the flames engulfed their grand mansion. The screams of their followers and servants echoed, blending with the explosions, and it didn't stop.
Xin, in a calculated fit of fury, continued his relentless attack. His fiery spells turned the mansion walls into flaming rubble.
Apollo's guards and adventurers tried to organize a defense immediately, but the surprise and fierceness of Xin's counterattack were overwhelming as flames flew in their direction.
Apollo's adventurers, regardless of their past actions, quickly gathered outside the mansion. The sound of explosions and the roar of the fire served as a wake-up call, summoning them to face the unfolding threat before their eyes.
Among them were those who had previously attacked the church, as well as other members of the Apollo family who were not present in the previous assault. Determined faces and expressions revealed their readiness to fight in defense of their home and reputation against Xin, the relentless, mad, and unpredictable mage from the Hestia family.
Swords, staffs, and bows were wielded as they organized to confront the invader. The burning flames surrounding the mansion cast dancing shadows over their figures, adding a dark aura to the tense atmosphere.
"YOU?! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO MY HOME, YOU WRETCH!" Apollo seemed like a madman in rage seeing such a thing; once again, he was stunned by this scum acting in a way he had never seen from a anyone since he came here, and he never imagined anyone among god would behave so recklessly.
"Hm? Apollo, you finally arrived! You like attacking other people's houses, don't you? Let's see how you feel about this," Xin proclaimed, his voice filled with indignation.
"Firebolts!" Xin cast his magic towards the already destroyed part of his house once again.
*BOOOOM!*
The nearby residents watched, astonished, the unfolding spectacle of destruction. Xin, in his thirst, now completely immersed in battle, showed no signs of backing down in the face of the growing crowd around him. He aimed not only at Apollo's adventurers but also at the very structure and symbols of his rival family's influence.
With a part of Apollo's mansion cornered by fire, the flames danced in the now shattered windows, creating a hellish spectacle that stood out even against the morning sun's rays. Smoke rose in the middle of the city, leaving witnesses stunned; this guy was too reckless.
Meanwhile, news of the conflict began to spread through the city, fueling fear and speculation. The Ganeash family and the adventurer guild would soon be informed, as the explosions and smoke were undeniable witnesses to a magical war that threatened to involve everyone in that part of the city.
But it would take time for them to arrive. The situation was about to unfold into a battle between the two rival families, with the city as a silent witness to a dispute that surpassed the limits of diplomacy and traditional rivalry at this moment.
The fate of both sides was now in the hands of the imminent confrontation, even if this imminent confrontation of Xin against the entire Apollo family as they surrounded him.
