Tens of kilometers away from Lord Rycharde's manor, a carriage could be seen running on Southmeadow road. 

Inside the carriage, Lord Gawyne said to his daughter, "Why do you keep looking at your hair? Is there something I should know?"

Lyra released a short laugh, "It's nothing. I'm just surprised I can't figure out how a few strands of my hair got dyed."

"What?!"

Lord Gawyne's body trembled as he stood up to have a better look at his daughter's hair. Just as she said, there were a few grey hair strands among her contrasting red hair. 

In fact, the number of grey strands had increased by one since the last time Reve saw it. 

Ciaran picked up on his father's expression, "Father, what is it? The look on your face worries me."

"It is noth—"

*Boom!*

As if it was hit by the force of a mountain, the carriage rolled out of the road into the deep forest. It kept on rolling until it collided with a sturdy tree. 

The horses neighed loudly as some of their bones broke, rendering them the inability to stand up and run away. 

A bright light shone in the carriage. The stuck door broke open and a bloodied hand slipped out. 

The owner of the hand struggled to get out of the carriage.

Grunting, the person successfully escaped from the carriage. However, it was not any of the Drateels as one would expect. 

The person who was garbed in brilliant black armor, from shoulder to toe, punched a hole into the carriage and created a human-sized space for anyone to come out from.

He lent a hand to Lord Gawyne who also struggled to escape the stuck carriage, "Milord, are you okay?"

Blood trailed down Lord Gawyne's face, but he still managed to cough out, "Don't worry about me. Check on Lyra and Ciaran."

"Yes, Milord."

The knight brought out the two unconscious siblings. He laid them beside the tree and finally paid attention to his surroundings, "What in Xoris' name happened?"

Lord Gawyne's pure eyes pierced through the veil of the night, "It should be a magical creature. It has to be large for it to leave such an impact on the carriage."

He had checked the state of the carriage. The horses were down and the unconscious driver sustained tremendous injuries. 

"Be on the alert, Knight Villiame. Whatever it is, it should be lurking," warned Lord Gawyne.

"Yes, I shall protect Milord with my life."

Lord Gawyne went behind the knight and attended to his children.

Suddenly, Knight Villiame sensed movement in the nearby bushes, "It is here."

Whatever it was, it was moving closer to them. 

When it came into view, the knight's heart skipped a beat. He saw the true identity of his assailant. The humanoid shape was a big clue that he wasn't dealing with a magical creature or at least, not something normal. 

The human language that flowed out of its mouth was a second clue, "Relax, I mean no harm."

The unknown being moved into the shade of moonlight, allowing the others to see it. It wasn't an "it". It was a "he". 

The man had a mask on and was protected by a well-designed hood. 

"Who are you?" aggressively asked Knight Villiame. 

The masked man politely introduced, "I'm merely Kimon. I request an audience with your lord."

Knight Villiame looked back at Lord Gawyne. He turned back after he got an answer, which was still unknown to the masked man. 

Pointing at the carriage, the black knight hissed, "Tell me one thing, did you do this?"

"Ahh, that was an error on my side. You see, I couldn't control my speed."

Knight Villiame's sword beamed with red ki as he threateningly spoke, "Then, you have your answer."

"Then, you have your answer."

Reve sighed beneath his mask as soon as he heard that. Why was it that the people he dealt with were too stubborn?

He felt they didn't believe him when he said crashing into them was a mistake. Moreover, from the way he saw it, none of them were dead. There was still a chance to salvage the situation. 

Reve ignored the terrifying amount of ki building inside the black knight. He focused on Lord Gawyne, "Must it end this way?"

The knight retorted, "You attacked Milord. There is only one way this can end."

"Are you willing to risk the safety of your lord for something so trivial?" asked Reve. 

The knight menacingly stared, "Should I take that as a threat?"

Reve was once again shocked by the reply from the knight. Why did it seem like whatever he said was going to be perceived negatively by the knight?

He understood now that the knight lacked the ability to comprehend his true intentions. Just like he said, there was only one way this could play out. 

He activated his [Appraisal] and the rigid knight. Reve knew better than to fight a battle with the unknown.

It was an impressive stat, almost made him give up pursuing Lord Gawyne. But Reve wasn't going to give up now, not when he was extremely close.

His eyes closed as a scene of Myrna smiling entered his mind. This was enough to rejuvenate him.

Reve Amethyst was going to win this fight and get what he came here for!

He let down his robe and flexed the tight light armor he wore inside.

Offering no words, Reve flicked his fingers. Knight Villiame stood still as he expected something to happen.

In all his years of experience, he knew the most terrifying foe was one whose means couldn't be understood.

He sensed something irregular invade his circle and slashed his sword at it.

It was just a simple slash, yet it radiated with such ferocious ki that it even received the attention of Reve.

…...Then, the sound Reve never expected to hear occurred. It was akin to an egg breaking, but this time, it was Reve's [Force Barrier] that broke.

He cursed inwardly, "Well, I will be damned."
