Eastern part of Willow Village, where the quest mission Cassandra Smith and other Church Attendants locating into.
It estimates nearly 5 kilometers far from the Church. It is the nearest and easiest to reach in from the minds of Casa Togo at first. Yet, the terrain and landscapes are harder to trek other than any place throughout the Village.
Harsh rocks, slippery mud, mossy trees, and vicious wild monsters. All of which are gathered in the same place, whereas most people and travelers usually don't take their routes to walked in.
But then, it was a different story when it comes to the Adventurers and people who have enough magic essence suitable for fighting difficult terrain conditions.

As they already finishing up the quest they acquired to the Adventurers Administration, also the fact that the place where they always wanted to go was the same location as the mission they completed into.
Most of the time they spared are immediately going to train, in which some of them started to define their strength and willpower towards the wild creatures seemingly appearing into them.
!Bang!
!s***h!
!Kaboom!
!Bang!
Monsters and other Magic creatures that had been fought didn't seem matched to the forces of the Church Attendants, to be headed by Cassandra Smith in who they elected as their Party leader unanimously. Everything seemed smooth and well-paced accordingly at first.
They even reformed themselves, sequencing their formations trying not to separate away from each other.
Knowing the fact that the deep forests they'd entered are much vile and abyssal compared to other forests they held throughout the Village territory.
It was a form of at least 4 people per group, as Cassandra planned thoroughly.
Lock, Tisa, Govan, Make in the first group.
Lina, Casa, Misa, Cassandra are in the second group.
Nascondra and the other 3 entities formed altogether in the third group.
They were immediately forced into a circular formation, consciously wary for their blindspots and left being guarded at the very most all sorts of directions anywhere they faced.
!Sckreeeeeeeeeeeeeeaakk!
/Loud, screeching noise incoming./
/Strong, unyielding force coming through./
As the sudden flow of winds started to surge menacingly. Nascondra, one of the Demi-beings and being held to be the strongest physical senses among them. Generally, the first one to notice through her sharp ears.
Frequently being heard approximately a hundred meters away from them. Instantly getting alarmed by sensing her entire body to tingle as well as her eyes intuitively went sharpened towards the direction where the noise she viciously heard into.
"More monsters... Are coming..." Nascondra audaciously went wary, quickly notifying other people on preparing their selves as the strong, intimidating monsters are seemingly approaching them.
/Loud, groundbreaking stomps had been sensed with tenacity./
/Barks and trees instantly went stumbled and breaking with ease and effortlessly./
It was a band of High-orcs (with an astounding measure of 8 meters in height, 2 meters in width, and 4 meters in length. Has sharp, malignant teeth able to destroy nearly everything they wanted to make, huge, bulky muscles with green-colored skin right throughout their bodies) were the things appearing into them. Hideously standing right through the tress they break.
Holding a huge pile of dead monsters, the High-orcs were astoundingly more carnivorous than what Nascondra truly imagined in her consciousness.
In other words, Nascondra was utterly disgusted. Nonchalantly vomiting the food she had ate moments ago, eyes went gloom due to some disturbing scenery right in through her mind and drastically maddened with desolated feeling against it.
Out of nowhere, she began indocile. Surprisingly being held on attacking the High-orcs with astounding speed and terrifying pressure towards her inhumane powers.
Cassandra and other Church Attendants simply felt surprised as what she response to already from them, completely couldn't hold themselves on stopping her actions knowing that it was too late for them to enact aggressively.
Not to mention, the quest missions they contracted in the first place had been completed already, and there is no other way for them to fight meaninglessly against the said monsters.
All things that went up putting on their minds as one, practically survived no matter the cost.
But then, things went changed in a spur of a moment.
As one of their party members utterly began sluggish and stubborn towards her resolve. With that, their lives are in grave danger once and for all.
They simply watched her attacking as what they resolved, desperately waiting for an opportunity for them to help Nascondra at any rate and situation.
/Gust bursting forth from above./
/Huge blow of fist swinging mid-air./
As Nascondra already losing her mind to attacking the High-orcs alone and reckless, one monster instinctively putting its attention towards her. Greatly introducing her with a huge, muscled fist right through her very existence.
Nascondra seemed wary to the incoming attacks given by the High-orc, initially flexing her body to the fullest extent and calmly began transparently to the point that every piece of her existence hasn't been seen dramatically throughout the entire surroundings.
The eyes of Cassandra and other Church Attendant couldn't hold on being surprised and astonished, as they started noticing Nascondra who slowly vanishing away into the air, clearly leaving no signs of her appearances right into their insight.
But then, for the sight of Lock, Tisa, as well as the Entities gathered around tells a different scenario according to what they saw completely and momentarily.
"Nascondra-san can leap through the air? Amazing!" Tisa commenting some sort of movements able to explain given by what she saw at the moment, with her eyes generally at the state of Awakening release, slowly changing into orange-colored sclera from its plain-colored human-like eye.
As well as the one being held on commenting other parts happenings occurred during Nascondra's vanishing moments.
Lock barely sees everything, as his eyesight seemingly being uncontrolled and disrupted every time he focuses on a long distanced occurrence. Yet, his Awakening essence is much reliable and well trusted than what he thought about it. Simply putting his adjustments by breathing deeply and mind went off-guarded for a few minutes on concentrating, initially opened his eyes prudently and began stagnant every 10 seconds for a long period.
As the constant charges coming from the High-orcs against Nascondra continue, the Entities partially being impatient towards their resolve at the moment. Mindfully being aware of the situations that astoundingly surrounding them. Their eyes went up dull and gloom, like something unexpected happenings are coming against them anytime from this moment.
Cassandra and Misa simply ended up their thoughts as one at that point, repulsively staring at their movements and actions with absolute care and suspicion towards their resolve.
"Those 3? ... What are their deals? They seemed restless and disgruntled all of a sudden?" Misa simply asking in secret about Cassandra.
Cassandra evasively responds, utterly didn't showed her insolent intuition coming to them, thinking it wouldn't best for them to make up an atrocious intention against each other.
She simply nodded in her response as if she didn't know much about everything's scheme extensively.
All her attention and focus are nothing much important than waiting for the opportunity on helping Nascondra out from being insane.

A few minutes had passed;
Nascondra already took at least 3 High-orcs down all by herself, with the intense speed and killing intent auras given to it, she seemed unstoppable at her own pace as what Tisa and Lock see.
"Nascondra scratching another High-orc's neck and went jumping through at the top of the tree." Tisa gracefully commenting.
"She jumps right through the corner, constantly hiding on the bush and her breathing pattern had been seen worn and unusual." Lock generally commenting on his own, by using a conversion from his eyesight through the entire body senses a few moments ago. Conclusively able to see and felt nearly everything throughout his specific area of channeling, without certain blindspots and other hindrances blocking his path.
Around 15 meters was the maximum circumference he could make at somehow.
"Wait... Did you just said she started to lack her breathing?" Misa was utterly surprised out of her conscience. Sincerely being worried for Nascondra's condition even though she made her decision reckless and indocile towards everyone's decision.
"Then, could this be? ---" Tisa left surprised.
"She's already at her limit." Cassandra simply concluded.
Every single mind putting together into one, as they began horrendously and misfired to Nascondra's scoundrel behavior. Intuitively taking upfront into their action once more and charging forth against the High-orcs rampage.
/Strong, deafening screeches incoming./
/Constant form of rumbling intensifies./
The High-orcs however, generally noticing the approaching Church Attendants into their stead, with malignant forces intended on killing their entire existence, utterly giving no signs of taking advantages against it.
A wild, horrendous blow of boulders maliciously throwing away towards them.
/Groundbreaking indecisively./
/Huge amount of magic essence chanting forth through one place./
As the huge boulders constantly raining into them. Lina, Govan and Make were the ones who tried on deflecting the rain full of hard rocks.
With their hands placing to the air, distinctively putting all their remaining magic essence on their palm, desperately gleaming to the magic spell to cast a huge sum of barriers horizontally facing towards the approaching huge boulders.
And hoping for their plans to have its effect without thinking of any possible failure on their resolve, knowing that it was already late for them to run away in any direction, that their bodies know they'd been hit against the High-orc's vicious throw in the end.
/Barriers slowly breaking./
/Loud, bone-breaking bones hideously heard./
In a huge unfortunate situation, that utterly and expected occurrence.
The barrier they'd made had been broken. Instantly blow up into nothingness against the force of the boulders' momentum.
Make quickly stumbled into the ground, with her body covered in blood due to the debris of stones falling into her, left unconscious on the spot and breathe shortly existed with others certain help.
The same goes for Lina. Yet, seemingly alive and breathing as she barely managed on evading some stones that went crucial to get hit into her body's weakest spots.
While Govan successfully managed on deflecting in her stead, vigorously continuing the rampage against the band of High-orcs with tenacity and intentions on killing into them.
Tisa, Misa, Cassandra, and the other 3 Entities finally stepping right through the monsters' vicinity. Intuitively putting all their might and strength to the extent of pushing up to its limits.
In the same case, only 10 high-orcs are remained standing out of 15 as what everyone thought about in the first place. Thinking that Nascondra already taking charges against and getting contact with at least 5 of them.
/Scorched, blazing fireballs raining down it into the air./
/Ground trembling with tenacity./
In the sense of upbringing to be called one of the Strongest mages in the Willow village. Cassandra Smith began demonstrating her magic and power suitably worthy to cause fear and destruction against her enemies, repulsively throwing some of her strongest magic spells in response to the High-orcs' devastating attacks towards them.
While on the other, Tisa left spacious and gone reacted accordingly. Quickly adjunctive to Cassandra's response from the bottom surface through her brute strength and massive swing on her metallic hammer capable of breaking the ground floor with astounding force and massive aftershocks.
Causes the movements of the High-orcs to be made stuttered and trembled to their stead. Consciously lying on the floor due to shock that couldn't be held at them to stand relentlessly.
And went immobile for a few seconds, allows the Church Attendants to gain the opportunity on attacking simultaneously towards the monsters' utter existence.
/Fire splicing through the monsters' humongous bodies./
/Ground constantly trembling./
/Wild, vicious slashes constantly cutting through the monster's very own flesh./
In addition, Misa along with Nascondra (which silently hiding in the bushes, waiting for an opening to attack from behind) blatantly took charges forward against it. Knowing that would only their opportunity on taking damages against the high-orcs.
The Entities assisting the Church Attendants ulterior movements. Generally putting the High-orcs arms and feet away from getting their defensive stance nonchalantly, allowing every single one of them to attack indiscriminately against it without having second thoughts of being startled nor hesitating for certain possible consequences.
In 10 minutes, the battle was finally over. Things and surroundings had been seen silent and resolute as what they should be. The corpse of the High-orcs had been delivered through the magic spell lending by the Entities.
"It is done... At last..." One Entity silently nodded with triumph and glory.
"No, we're not done yet... Actually." Another Entity utterly contradicting its pleasant augmentation.
"What should we do?... We must help them real quick!" The third Entity worriedly having his thoughts towards the Church Attendants nonetheless, seemingly eagers on lending his power to them regardless of how limited he bluntly had already.
As the Church People started to get restless and panic, knowing that two of their kind had suffered fatal injuries after the fight.
One hesitant and spacious Entity began unwavering on its own volition, audaciously taking its senses to the utmost limit as the calm, harmonious surroundings constantly began iffy and malicious.
Thinking for something that causes everything into wild and ravenous for a certain purpose.
