"Are you lot the clean-up crew?" the bald wizard asked. "If so, there are a few stains on the bottom floor."
Yeah...
This guy was just punking them. He knew very well that they were intruders, and if Rael was sure about one thing, it was the fact that he was most likely calling in some backup.
But it seemed like Rael was wrong, as the man simply stood up and pointed his finger at them. Right as he was about to do something, Gaia raised her hand and suddenly brought down a tree vine from out of nowhere.
The vine traveled so fast that Rael was barely able to react. But by the time the vine reached the wizard's hand, his hand was already flying in the air, severed from the rest of his wrist.
The wizard wasn't able to react, it seemed like, but in reality, the wizard just raised a brow, snatched his hand out of the air, and then reattached it. Afterwards, he narrowed his eyes at Gaia, then at Rael.
