An Extra’s POV

~BOOOOOOOOOOM!~

A loud explosion cracked forth, creating a large hole within the great Fortress that stood on the beach. Debris scattered all over the sandy shores, with some even reaching the green forest just up ahead.

Now visible, due to the hole on the walls of the fortress, was the group of Elves.

They were at the very top floor of the Fortress, but that was no problem for them at all. They used Wind Magic to allow them to fall very slowly and freely to the ground beneath them.

As a result, none of them sustained any injury.

Their Elder, Gratiana, was also safely let down thanks to the nature of the Magic Bubble that her body was surrounded by. In the first place, the bubble floated, so it made transportation extremely convenient.

Once the last of the Elves planted her hell on the sandy floor, all eyes fell on Deli once again.

"Huff… what now?"

"Yeah! What should we do now, Deli?"

"Deli, what next step should we take?"

The young Elf was bombarded by questions from the other curious and worried minds around her. She should have known this would happen once she decided to take on the role of leader.

"We leave the barrier! Now that we have created that explosion, I'm sure they will be after us, so we need to move fast!"

All the Elves nodded instantly, trusting Deli completely.

None of them bothered to question the logistics of the strategy. For all they knew, the barrier could knock them back, or even fry them to crisps.

If, indeed, they were prisoners, then it only made sense that their captors wouldn't want them to escape. That made the most sense, and at least one of the Elves should have thought of it.

But these ones weren't critical thinkers or skeptics.

The moment Deli's first plan worked, they were sold that the rest of her strategy—assuming there was one—would possess the same level of success.

They all rushed towards the barrier, as far away from the fortress as possible, and thankfully… they weren't wrong.
