Omega decided he had enough, Jonathan was there but the two kidnappers agitated him. Still there was enough time for him to let his familiar duo loose. They couldn’t do anything about the net, however magic was a different story, after all, both familiars could use all nine schools of magic if they were provided energy that is... And energy they had, Omega gave them a few mana cells or batteries as they were also called. As the spells, net and grenades came closer to the group, the two familiars went into synchronized casting mode, something that is very helpful when blocking magic as it tripled their power, normally it would double it but the hardware and magic runes engraved into their bodies increased the processing speed they had when linked. Needles to say this drained mana very quickly and without a powerful external power source they couldn’t use it for long.
The popping of the batteries indicated that they were being drained rapidly, but the familiar duo would block any magic cast in the vicinity, granted it had a short range but they could at least cover the group and part of the corridor and room, for at least half a minute given the batteries they had, after this time their counter ability would vanish as they wouldn’t have any external power supplies left. Sanuta and Kaena furthermore used 50% of the batteries’ power to sent out a surge that would block most if not all of the microwave beams’ power by blocking and refracting the beam using fate, energy, matter and law, while additionally using timespace and fate to bounce the grenades back or at least change their trajectory before they explode, furthermore they used a bit of fate magic to influence their detonator as to prevent them from going off. With all of this they had roughly 15 seconds left of the magic counter shield they could employ.
Omega knew that Jonathan would be able to take care of himself so he didn’t interfere, after all he thought the man highly capable, not to mention he had the two familiars helping with protecting the kids. The man knew that no matter what Jonathan would protect the kids and get the job done, that was one of the reasons Omega grew to like and respect the other man. But now he had a different job, that is to neutralize the enemies in front of him, but to get close to them, or rather to appear behind them unnoticed, more than his assassination and cloaking devices were needed. He would need a distraction something more than the familiars or their abilities. A part of it was already prepared by one of his targets, the necromancer...
Yes the necromancer... Omega had no problem with them, even liked many of them as the ones that respected the rules would get his counsel on spirits and contracts... This one however... He bound spirits against their will, broke them... Made them into slaves... That was one thing you didn’t want to do or come out in Omega’s presence... As it would make him displeased... That is something one would not want to live through, even if he is supposed not to kill... But there are things far worse than killing a person or tormenting them... Yes... Far worse...
The spirits attacking or rather going to attack would stop abruptly... Only to turn around and look at the necromancer with hatred, pity or some with a hint of compassion. This display should be enough as a distraction to give Omega, who attuned himself to the spirits and set them free from Li’s control asking them not to attack but wait a while as they would be set free if they wanted or be allowed to contract. But this would come later.
Omega wanted to come out behind the enemies from within the shadows at the back of the room... This succeeded... And more.
As he came out stealthily with his magic cloak on, but the effect the Demesne had on him was something he did,’t factor in.His powers were amplified to the point that his gate, the one he used to travel from the spirit realm to the realm of man would expand... The shadows grew and merged, rapidly swallowing part of the room, becoming a gate for Omega and his contractees to come through. The back end of the room behind the terrorists would be completely swallowed in darkness, the only one visible would be omega, wearing his ritual garb, with his hood and mask on, his aura extinguished but he emanated a feeling of dread, an otherworldly feeling of something that didn’t belong. Where the shadow ended s small boundary line would slowly pulse in a pale crimsonbluish light.
Omega stood there, unmoving, quiet, He only said one sentence, each word accented and brimming with power. “I am Omega.” this was enough or rather he couldn’t say more as when he announced himself, the darkness that surrounded, but hadn’t enveloped, opened. The darkness looked at the two men before Omega... Literally. Many eyes, in different shapes sizes and colors opened one after another, focusing on the men. Each belonged to a spirit contracted to Omega, who stood there still unmoving, he concentrated hard as to not loose control and unleash the horde onto the men, he knew they would tear them apart.
Still many of the spirits came out, in different shapes and sizes, some big, some small, but each looked menacing. Even though they mirrored the darkness of the gate, they could be seen clearly as day, standing next to and in front of their master ready to attack if provoked. At the same time, many tentacles purtruded from the gate, prepared to repel attacks, even if their combined power was low. This display even if it might seem like it took a lot of time, took place in the 15 seconds that were left on the familiars’ batteries.
“Surrender or I will have to kill you.” A silent order, yet with so much pressure after each word. Omega wouldn’t in fact kill the men, the spirits would maim but not critically wound them, though the shadowbind spell was still active and ready to trigger on some of them.
