Eiji walked off following his trail that was to lead back to the dark guild, his plan was to break the guild which would help make a name for the Crystal Owl which would give me more lucrative jobs. He didn't pay attention to if Alexander was coming along or not he knew the longer he waited the lighter the trail would get as it was following residual magic once that disappeared the link would go cold and he wouldn't be able to track them.
Eiji did give the order for the trail to be visible by guildmates so Alexander could still follow if the trail didn't begin to disappear, he didn't want to use magic to travel along the trail because he wanted to be conscious of his surroundings as when he did use living ink to fast travel everything was a blur.
After roughly a hour and a half the trail went cold as Eiji was led to a cliff and couldn't track the enemy any further but he didnt have to as he saw a cemetery below and what looked to be a guild but he was not sure. Eiji jumped off the cliff using living ink to slide down as if it was the dark guild he didn't want them to be alerted to his presence as he stepped forward from landing he began feeling very weird looking at the guild in front of him.
"This is weird something is not right" he says to himself, and not a split second later a dark orb comes his way causing him to narrowly dodge the attack as it left a small crater at the site of impact. Looking up on a nearby ridge Eiji see's three people a little girl with white hair and a mirror a woman with a fan and a male with long dark hair in front who was obviously their leader
Man:
"Welcome to nightmare abyss I am Montez guildmaster pray tell what brings you here wanderer"
Eiji:
"I'm no wanderer I am Eiji Kuro guildmember of the crystal owl"
Montez:
"Crystal... Owl... doesn't ring a bell Mira have you ever heard of a guild called Crystal Owl?" he asked
The woman with the fan replied.
Mira:
"No master I have not it must be some no name weak guild, that is not worth our time"
Eiji:
"Well when I destroy this guild you'll never forget the name" he replied.
That is when he got into fighting stance creating a magic circle "LIVING INK LASHER" he called out as multiple dark lances fired at the trio but Eiji was surprised as this attack usually fired more lances, and thats when the little girl stepped in front with her Mirror and absorbed the attack. Eiji was shocked....
Little girl:
"I am Amara my magic is called mirrors eye, anything my mirror see's it absorbs... and I can also do this" she says
turning the mirror onto Eiji till his reflection is in it.
"Mirror's eye revenge" she called out as the mirror glows and fires back the lances. Eiji runs to the left to dodge them but the little girl follows him with the mirror causing the lances to follow him as well until they strike him. The attack didn't fatally harm him but it was enough to bring him down to one knee, and then blades of wind struck him knocking him into the air leaving deep cuts in his body as he fell to the ground.
Montez had walked up to his body,
"Your probably wondering why you feel this way, Mira's wind magic has a effect when it cuts you it slowly steals oxygen from your body so your probably beginning to feel light headed now" he says as he kicks Eiji in the face.
"You son of a... wait till I get up, my living ink will swallow you whole" Eiji replied.
Montez laughed as he snapped his fingers and many other mages stepped out the shadows had to be around 20 to 30 all seemed to be using the same type of magic.
"You really think that don't you, but I have a small army of mages that have magic draining abilities, the moment you stepped into our territory your magic was being siphoned. Brilliant isn't ... the Crystal Owl will be happy we got rid of a weakling like you" he says as he walks away.
Eiji begins to get up, a feat which surprised Montez...
"Really... Crystal Owl has no weak members and I will show you when we wipe that smug look on your face..." he says ....
"LIVING INK ARMOR" he calls out as living ink covers his arms and legs and some of his wounds and hardens.
Montez:
"You idiot you have guts but you won't be able to keep this up the longer you remain here the more of your magic that will be drained and Mira's wind magic is weakening your body... but if you have a death wish ... Kill him" he says as his little army charges at Eiji and he begins fighting off as many as he can. Every punch that lands sends an opponent rocketing back as he tried to make his way towards Montez and he was getting close.
Montez could see his armor begining to break but Eiji would just summon more living Ink magic. He was feeling his body weaken as well but he kept pushing forward, if he did end up dying he wanted to give it his all
"I will make sure you remember the name of my guild" he says kicking one of the grunts in the face. Montez is actually surprised that Eiji is able to fight Mira gets ready to launch a attack but Montez waves her down he wants to see if Eiji actually can reach him.
Dealing with the last grunt in his way he musters more magic as he it almost within striking distance of Montez,
"LIVING INK ARMORED BULLET" he calls out as a magic circle appears on his right fist leaving him with even more armor on his right hand it looked like a dark armored gauntlet around his arm as he punched Montez full force. The strike caused Montez to fly back and broke his guild door. Everyone was shocked and Eiji still armored looked at him as he began to step forward...
"Crystal Owl...has no weaklings" he says
Thats when Eiji feels a surge of magic power and Montez stands and begins floating just a little off the ground. The grunts run out of the way as Eiji didn't know whats going on and thats when Montez raised his hand and a dark bolt of lightning shot from his hand and struck Eiji who tried to block it but upon impact his living ink armor shattered, and the power of the blast caused him to scream out in pain as he was blasted back a couple of feet into woods breaking tree's as he finally fell and hit the ground hard.
Montez turned and looked at everyone,
"NO ONE EVER LANDED A STRIKE THAT COULD DROP ME, FIND HIM AND KILL HIM BRING ME HIS HEAD SO WE CAN SEND IT BACK TO THIS CRYSTAL OWL GUILD" he orders as the grunts go enter the woods to look for Eiji's body.
