Conscious glanced from the wand at her throat to Tom. What in merlins name was Tom doing? He just exposed they were the culprits and put an even bigger target on everyone.
"Magic is might Bartemius. We are the greater breed not those muggles you are so fond of praising." Tom explained as he paced around slowly.
Bartemius quickly snapped his wand to Tom, Conscious doing the same keeping her wand at Bartemius neck now. "I wouldn't if I were y-"
Before Conscious could get the words out a flash of red hit her hand, a yelp escaping. She quickly whipped around to see an Auror a few feet behind them.
"Accio wand!" The Auror yelled, Conscious deflected the spell with ease.
"Avada Kedavra!" Conscious casted striking the Auror instantly, a bright green light filling the entire cave. The Aurors body falling hitting the ground with a loud thud. Everyone saw, everyone heard and everyone stopped in their movement. Conscious held her left hand blood seeping out, she cursed silently to herself.
Her breathing quicken, she had just killed someone. She had just murdered a girl, a sin she hadn't possessed in years. Yet this time her body fell to her knees clutching her bloodied arm closer. Her eyes burning in the place where the former Auoror stood. She had murdered her without hesitation yet a nasty taste of bile begun to rise in her. Abraxas and Zevi attempted to sprint towards Conscious but the Aurors quickly casted a wall preventing anyone from getting close to Conscious, Tom, and Bartemius.
Tom stood with no emotion but he could feel her, and she wasn't good. He knew something was off the moment he let her go this morning. But he didn't move, he couldn't show favouritism and risk her being a threat to him.
Bartemius however stood in absolute fury now, any cowardliness he had before vanished. He turned right back to Tom casting a disarming jinx which he easily defended.
"Now now Barty wouldn't want you to lose another, I give you and your people a chance to leave alive. I am a merciful man and you know exactly what we are capable of." Tom spoke raising his hand catching the Knights attention, each raised their wand at an Auror ready for Toms command.
"Azkaban! For the lot of you!" Bartemius yelped. His team copying stance, readying to duel the Knights.
"Don't say I didn't warn you." Tom sighed, a smirk hidden beneath his mask, his left hand dropping and quickly the Knights on the outside of the barrier begun. Abraxas and Zevi easily knocked out the Auror who raised the barrier in the first place
"Prince you figure out how to remove this!" Abraxas commanded.
Zevi nodded. "Watch my back?"
Abraxas nodded. "Always."
Zevi quickly got to work casting censors to detect what made this wall. He frowned as nothing came back, it must be a spell the department made how clever he thought. But not as clever as Zevi though, he started to work on the core of the spell made finding ways to decode it quick. Abraxas stood a few feet away helping Avery who had two on him.
"Expelliarmus!" Avery shouted, disarming one and Abraxas followed up knocking the Auror unconscious. The second one let out a shout of annoyance before casting, "Incendio!"
Abraxas countered it with one of Conscious's spell, catching the flame before throwing it right back. It took the Auror by shock never witnessing anything like this before he was knocked back and unconscious like his partner.
"Nicely done." Avery panted next to Abraxas.
"We've got at least ten more let's go." Abraxas nodded towards the others who were still caught in a duel. "And keep an eye out on the barrier where Prince is, we have to make sure he doesn't get distracted."
