Before Viola could react, she saw the black-clad figures burst in, their swords dripping with blood. It was obvious they had killed people on their way here.

Viola screamed and rushed to the door, banging on it with urgency. "Aurora, open the door! Open the door!"

Yvonne and Julia shielded Viola, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. "Stay away..."

The black-clad figures swung their swords, slicing through the air with deadly precision. Yvonne and Julia felt a cold sensation across their throats, and then blood splattered and gushed out. Their throats were cut, and they couldn't even utter a sound before collapsing.

Viola was paralyzed with fear and sank to the ground. She covered her ears and cried, "Help! Help!"

One of the black-clad figures advanced towards Viola with his sword raised. Just then, Barrett delivered a powerful kick, sending the assailant flying. He immediately took up a defensive stance beside Viola.

"Get inside and hide!" Barrett was facing imminent danger, and he pushed Viola toward the room.

Viola sobbed and said, "Aurora has locked the door!"

Barrett kicked the door with all his might, but it wouldn't budge. He continued to fend off the attackers while shouting, "Aurora, open the door!"

Aurora stood inside, her face serious as she gripped her sword, her hands slightly trembling. She ignored Barrett's words and showed no sign of opening the door.
