(Underground City)

Jasmine and Steve were standing next to each other, and in front of them were three entrances. The moment they came in, they helped the people who were coming in settle down quickly. 

The both of them were now playing cards, and laughing like they were on a vacation. Loud booms were heard from the other two entrances, and they had assumed that the fighting had begun.

"To think that they would plan to this extent", she muttered as she threw down her card and revealed her hand. Steve smiled as he revealed his. 

"A royal flush?! But how?", she said in a dejected tone. Steve had an evil glint in his eyes and the smile that he showed only confirmed that fact. 

"Whatever you're thinking, just don't. We are outside and we need to have proper professional etiquette", she said with a straight face. Steve cleared his throat and his ears began to pick up something.

"I think we have some guests that are planning on intruding on our party", he said with a smile as he cracked his neck. Jasmine got up and the both of them were now standing next to each other. 

Jasmine activated a Magic circle, and from it came out a copy of her. She then placed her hand on Steve, and another Steve popped out.

"Go!", she said to the copies and the both of them disappeared from the place. Jasmine snapped her fingers and a holographic screen appeared in front of her.

Both of them could see how many enemies were present, and it was not a small number. Each tunnel had more than a hundred people, all armed to the teeth.

Each of them had a plethora of weapons, and the armor they were wearing was above the Legendary grade. But that didn't mean anything to the both of them. Steve smiled as he looked at Jasmine.

"You sure you can create an illusion of this whole place in seconds?", he asked skeptically. She just nodded her head, indicating that it was indeed possible for her. He shrugged as he sat back and she began to do her thing.

She began to send out more copies of her, and the whole city was being marked with Magic circles. After a few minutes, the copies came back and they vanished into smoke. 

She began to chant, and the enemies that were in the tunnels had now neared the city. They were being cautious of any guards, but when they saw that there was only one person in front of them, they were relieved. 

"I welcome you, my dear friends. What brings you here to our humble kingdom?", he asked with his arms spread wide as he did a bow to the enemies. Jasmine who was in the circle was invisible to the enemies.

One of them pointed their fingers at Steve in realization. He was shaking in his boots when he saw who it was that they had to deal with. 

"That's Steve Hudson, a SSS Class Adventurer. We have to fight him?", he asked with a shaky voice. The moment everyone heard the name, they stood rooted to the spot.

Nobody moved from their places until one of them spoke up.

"He is just one man, and we are an army. How many of us do you think he can take out? Eventually, he will get tired and die in our hands. Everyone, CHARGE! HAIL OMEGA", said the man and he sounded like the leader of the group.

Steve clicked his tongue and looked at Jasmine. She was still in the process of the illusion, but the copies she had made at first now came into play. 

Steve was in the front, and after the tunnels were empty, the other Steve and Jasmine appeared and blocked the entrance. The men who saw this were confused as to how there were two Steve's at the same place.

One of them charged straight at the copy, while the others charged towards Steve. He just had a smile across his face and clapped his hands together.

A gush of wind was brought forth from the single clap, and all the enemies that were advancing were pushed back by several steps. Jasmine had finished setting up the illusion, and she appeared out of thin air in the middle of the army. 

The army was stunned when they saw her in the middle and one of the men exclaimed. He was about to say who it was when he felt a slash at his throat.

"It's the leader of the Adventurer's Guild. We're doomed!", said one of the men, and everyone began to scatter around, trying to run away from the place. 

The attack which they thought would involve just the guards, turned out to have two powerhouses as guards. The moment they saw the two powerhouses, they began to flee.

None of them had the vigor to continue with the attack, and just when they were about to leave the place, a voice spoke in the air. 

"It seems like I have underestimated the lengths to which the Kingdom would go to protect its citizens", and a snap was heard. The moment the snap was heard, the people who were running away stood rooted to the spot.

They had a pink hue around them, and one of their eyes turned pink. It was the same for everyone who was running, and now every head turned towards their direction. Steve had a bad premonition about how the event was transpiring at the moment.

"A Master Mind Manipulator", said Jasmine as she saw the scale at which the spell was taking effect. All the people were now under mind control and anything that the voice said they did.

"Kill them", said the voice, and the army moved. Steve, who was thinking about how to save them now threw the thoughts out of the window. 

His hands began to glow green, and he rubbed his palms together. Two blades made of pure Mana appeared, and he wielded them both.

He was channeling Wind throughout his body, and that made his movements much faster than a normal person's eye could keep up with. He went straight at the first person that was leading the charge, and he cut off the head.

He thought that if the leader's head was cut off, then the charge would slow down, or even better, the spell would break. But it didn't happen, and the frenzy that was around was growing.

Jasmine gave out the commands to her copies, and the two who were guarding the tunnels began to attack from behind. They had to thin down the numbers as quickly as they could and find the main culprit behind this.

In just a few minutes they had killed every single one of them, and there was a laugh in the air. 

"Ho ho. As expected of the Elites. But what would you do, if I sent here something other than human? A Beast, perhaps?", said the voice.

"You wouldn't DARE!", roared Steve into the air. Even Jasmine was mad when she heard the statement from the person. 

"Yes, I do. And not just one, maybe a horde would be right", said the voice, and the moment the sentence ended, he felt a rumble across the floor.

"Please tell me that they are all headed our way and not towards the others", prayed Steve as he felt the rumbles get more intense, and there was dust coming from the tunnels. He wanted to take the fight outside, but it seemed like that was something impossible for him.

"It seems like we have to do something to stop this horde. No matter what, we will save these people. How strong is the barrier around the City?", he asked as he began to think of a solid plan of defending against those Beasts.

"Not very strong as I had to join the fight. And if I were to strengthen the barrier at this moment, then you will have to face them head-on for at least fifteen minutes. You sure you can handle that?", she asked with a tinge of worry.

Steve nodded his head and created his blades again. He was about to charge into the Beast horde that was coming towards them when he felt a soft sensation on his lips. He responded with a kiss of his own, and they broke after a few seconds.

"Come back safely", she said in a coaxing voice. Steve nodded his head and disappeared from the place, and he erected a Wind Barrier in front of two tunnels and allowed only one of them to have an entrance. 

"I am going to have to thin down the numbers as much as I can. There is only one way that we can stop this, and that is to play this to my advantage", he thought as he erected the barriers. 

The ones on his right and left were blocked, and he had left the middle one open.. The moment he saw the head of a beast, he made his move and charged straight into the horde.
