Capítulo 31: Chapter 31-Alice's Worst Memories (2)

In the dining room, we all eat together. My mother's cooking is the best I eat, even if it doesn't look luxurious. Even if we are poor, if we are grateful for what we have, our family can live happily. Because being happy is a simple thing, as long as you have a happy family, it doesn't matter.

While eating we were talking and joking, suddenly the door of our house was smashed from outside. This surprised our family who was eating.

*Bam*

Those of us who were currently eating were surprised by the arrival of uninvited guests. They were a group of people wearing black robes, which covered their bodies all the way to their heads. They had 5 members of the group, the person in the middle of a group, was at the very front.

"Who are you?"

My dad immediately swiftly, came to protect us. I was scared and immediately went to hug my mother from behind. My mother was also in a fighting stance, trying to protect me.

"We? You don't need to know, because all of you will die, except for your daughter, if she can survive,"

The person in the middle speaking seemed to be the leader of this group.I heard what the person was talking about became scared. dad and mother were also increasingly wary of them.

Dad took the sword that was near the wall, he tried to protect me and my mother. While for my mother she was ready to cast a spell.

"Hahaha.. do you think that toy sword can hold me back?"

"Curse Bullet,"

Some strange little balls moved swiftly from the hands of the group leader. My Dad tried to deflect them with the sword, but the sword immediately rusted and shattered.

"Ugh.."

Some strange balls hit my dad, it made wounds on his body. The wounds looked strangely like skin blisters, after being hit by those balls. Dad backed away trying to protect us.

"Dear, are you all right!?" My mother asked in a worried tone.

"I'm fine, it's just what magic was that?"

Dad frowned at wounds on his body and the sword he used.

"All of you, fight those two pairs,"

"Yes, My Lord,"

The group started to move on the orders of their leader. Dad tried to restrain them, with his injured body. He moved his fist against one of the people from the group. The man hit the wall due to being hit by Dad's fist.

But someone else came trying to attack him again, using a dagger, it almost hit my Dad, if he didn't dodge it.

"Mila quickly, get our daughter out of here!!"

My dad shouted, he seemed to want to head off all this group alone, until mother and I could escape. Mother looked at dad who was currently injured and fighting, her eyes wet with tears.

"N-no Dear, I won't leave you,"

"Water Push,"

Mother casts a spell to help dad. The rushing water can even cut through metal, trying to hit the group. But the leader of the group made a defensive spell that could withstand the mother's spell.

"Curse Wall,"

A transparent film, resisting mother's attacks without flinching. Mother saw her magic useless, realizing that the enemy was stronger than she thought. Mother cast another spell this time.

"Water Burst,"

"Fontries,"

....

The various spells that mother had cast. But all of them ended up being destroyed by that transparent film. Mother was now exhausted from using up a lot of mana.

"Hahaha... that weak spell is completely useless in front of me,"

One of the daggers stabbed my dad's thigh, as the group attacked. My dad hissed in pain, my mother and I saw this, our hearts hurt so much. I was already crying, couldn't help but feel scared.

"Dad, please don't leave me!!"

I tried to go to my dad's place, but my mother stopped me. My mother looked at me shaking her head, tears had already fallen from corners of my mother's eyes.

"Hurry up Mila!! We have to save our daughter,"

Mom cried seeing dad because there was no other choice. She took me away from home.

"Dear, wait there, I'll get help,"

"No mom, don't leave dad!! Dad, please don't leave us, dad!!"

Mom cried hugging me, she took me out of the house. I tried to see dad, all I saw was dad's smile, one last time. I felt my heart ripped open, it hurt so much.

"You're all, take care of this man, I will chase mother and daughter pair,"

The leader of the group said to his subordinates. His subordinates nodded, they fought against dad. Dad tried to block the leader of the group, but he couldn't because the four subordinates were fighting with him.

"Tch, damn it,"

.....

Right now I'm in my mother's arms, she's carrying me with tears in the corners of her eyes. We're walking down a street in town, but it's very quiet here. Due to the location where we live, not many people live here. Plus even if we ask for help, there's no one here who has a fighting ability. This will harm others.

I didn't even know what to do anymore. Seeing my dad for the last time was painful.

"Mom, why did we leave dad,"

I looked at my mother with teary eyes. My mother heard what I said, more tears spilled from her eyes.

"I'm sorry Alice, we couldn't save your dad, the group is very strong,"

Mother was so sad right now, she also didn't know what to do. They didn't know anything about the enemy they were fighting. Plus their enemy was so strong, all the spells she cast were useless.

*Boom*

There was the sound a something falling in front of us, as the dust cleared, we saw a person wearing a cloak. The stone road around it cracked, due to explosion earlier.

"You.. what do you want from my family?"

Mother looked at the person with a look full of hatred. The man just laughed at the mother's question.

"Hahaha... we're here looking for someone with an innate skill, and that's your daughter,"

The man sneered, looking at both mother and I. My mother hearing what the man said had a surprised expression.

"No, my dad, I want to know his condition,"

I cried in my mother's arms. My mother heard my question to the man, had a painful expression. The man also looked at us with a funny expression.

"I'm sure now, your father was killed by my subordinates,"

I felt my world shattered, hearing what that man said. My mother tried to hold back her tears from crying.

"So little girl, I'll let your mother go, but you're coming with us, how about that?"

The robed man gave me a choice. My mother hearing this quickly hugged me. She looked at the man with hatred.

"I won't let that happen,"

"Tch.. stubborn,"

The man muttered something incoherent, before he cast a strange spell.

"Bane Fire"

A strange flame gathered in the man's hand before he threw it at us. The fire was moving so fast that Mother couldn't avoid it, she hugged me to protect me from attack.

"No, Mom!!"
