Dragov was the first and most obvious sight to find, followed by the army that was attacking him. The former holy champion also spotted a Glacier Wyrm rushing to the aid of a dragon that Lorwynn had never seen before.

When Lorwynn found Hadurt standing in front of Ollan and a guardian, he chuckled. But he abruptly stopped laughing once he noticed the weapon in Hadurt's hands.

Going back and forth between the powering-up Hadurt and the godly duel at the further extents of the field, Lorwynn didn't know what to think. That scenario didn't make sense but he had to give credit to Jack and the Leisure Guild. To not only steal a god's personal weapon but to give it to Hadurt was something that Lorwynn couldn't even imagine, let alone pull off.

Lorwynn also noticed Jack and Bowzer as a cry suddenly sounded out from below Lorwynn.

Not wasting any more time, Lorwynn threw himself into the battle within the walls of the Leisure Guild. He brought out his staff and covered the battlefield in green energy. On the side of the invaders, the ground trembled as savage plants burst from the ground.

Thanks to Lorwynn's spell Entangling Jungle, the invading forces became slowed or immobile for the time being.

However, Lorwynn was focused on a particular battle and hurled a holy light into the fray.

With the holy light healing him, Mooldrat roared and darted toward the regent who dared attempt sneaking past him. But the other bloodied regent stabbed Mooldrat in the back as the beholder tried to escape the encounter.

The second regent, who only managed to blow past the beholder with half an hour missing, rushed toward the women the beholder was guarding. His one good arm held tight to his staff, throwing fireballs with all his might.

Though his life was likely to be taken in the end, the regent was proud to have eliminated the loved ones of the neutral champion.

Yet those fireballs were extinguished before they reached their targets. A rain of lightning reduced the fireballs to cinders.

Everyone in that battle looked up toward the lightning's point of origin. Mooldrat shook. He was both badly injured and elated. The regents were utterly baffled. They were frozen in place by a combination of confusion and fear.

Lorwynn didn't introduce himself, rather he shot out more lightning to decimate the two regents.

Then, the eastern sky was flooded by purple energy and the ground gently shook beneath everyone's feet. It surprised Jack's party before they could thank Lorwynn or ask how he had arrived.

Dropping to the floor, Lorwynn took a moment to ask the party, "Do any of you know what that was?"

No one replied with an explanation before they returned to the fight at hand.

Just as Lorwynn was about to halt his moment of thought, a voice screamed inside his head as well as all people connected to Jack through a pact.

'Someone help Jack!' It was Bowzer, and his shouts were drastic. 'Jack's gone crazy!'

Taking that as his cue, Lorwynn looked to the party. "I'll help Jack and Bowzer. If you need anything, just say so."

Taking off through the air, Lorwynn hurried to where he was needed most, throwing lightning bolts into the herd of trapped syndicate members as Lorwynn flew overhead.

Surrounded by three cranes, Kims was undeterred by their presence. All Kims cared about was slaying the man who ruined his mother's life and his childhood.

Thyron, on the other hand, was entirely focused on escaping alive. Even if he won the battle with Kims, that didn't matter if the cranes would just end him afterward. He was determined to find some means to slip away.

Kims charged in again, not caring if Thyron's Lightning Cage reactivated, which it did. The swordsman was greatly slowed as he lunged forward with his blade.

A wall of rock rose up to block Kims's attack. Then, as Kims broke through the wall, Thyron hurled a lightning bolt through the broken wall and into Kims. It was a direct hit!

Groaning, Kims still pushed forward to close the gap.

Instead of running further back, Thyron remained where he stood and avoided nearing the cranes. Though Kims was too dutiful to ask for help, there was no way that Thyron would risk the cranes having their own plans. The sorcerer cast Earth Wall again without batting an eye. And as Kims broke through that one, there was a second earth wall after it, as well as a third.

Finally, after the third wall of earth, Kims had managed to reach Thyron. Or so he thought.

Thyron was nowhere to be found and his Lightning Cage had deactivated.

When Kims's feet landed back on the ground, a hand suddenly erupted from the earth below to firmly grab the swordsman by the ankle.

"Shocking Grasp!"

Electricity poured into Kims at an alarming rate. That attack was much more intense than the lightning bolt from earlier. Kims felt his skin char around his ankle, struggling to take the attack.

"Just die!" Thyron's laugh spread out from below, proving where he was located as the sorcerer cast Shocking Grasp yet again.

Tensing and spasming, Kims's muscles were unable to cope with the sheer amount of electricity being pumped into him. All Kims could do was fight his cramping body and sense the damage being done to his internals.

The cranes were hesitant to jump in, about to go in for the attack when they noticed something odd about Kims.

His body started to elongate and stretch out. Kims's neck got longer along with his torso and limbs. Also, a pair of white, feathery wings ripped out the back of Kims's shirt. Nimble as a serpent, Kims's foot slid out of the sorcerer's hand. At the same time, Kims's sword was thrust into the earth and toward the origin of Thyron's voice.

"Wha--" Caught off guard, Thyron cried out but coughed up blood after getting stabbed.

Thyron rushed out of the earth, reactivating Lightning Cage as he fled. 

However, Kims was far quicker in his transformation. The one-armed swordsman took a lightning bolt head-on in order to thrust his sword into Thyron's chest. And before Thyron could cry in pain, Kims had already started to twist the sword within the sorcerer's ribcage.

Both men fell over after sharing attacks.

The fatigue and internal damage within Kims's body couldn't be ignored much longer as the swordsman shook, only able to stand while leaning against his blade for support.

Blood spilled out of Thyron's shoulder and chest, the two places he had been injured. In particular, the wound in Thyron's chest was also bleeding internally and filling up the empty space within his body. One arm was unusable and Thyron could feel his life slipping through his consciousness.

Neither man could move anymore, lying in pain and agony.

Thyron glared at Kims for one last time, grunting at the swordsman while the cranes stood over him like vultures waiting for their prey to die.

As Thyron's life faded away Kims was sadly unable to savor the moment. His body was reverting to normal after he fell unconscious. He won the fight and did as he wished, but he failed to say goodbye to the man he had loathed since birth.
