"Groan!!"
The palace troops began to be overwhelmed by this attack. Despite their large numbers, still the strength of the enemy is difficult for them to resist.
Ethinos knew that they were facing not only Rabadar's fighting force, they were also facing off against thousands of Undead as well as Dwarf warriors.
"Haha!! Where is your true power?!"
Yora aggressively launched a series of attacks on Eden. The thick-haired man continued to resist the incoming attacks. His sword fended off the two axes of Yora who were unceasingly moving.
A burst of fire came out from Yora's mouth. Eden widened his eyes, but a moment later he had moved to another place. The blaze only burned the rubble of the building.
"Aren't you tired of constantly wearing that ability?!" Yora clucked in annoyance. "Basic Blackclaws. But, it's okay. I knew the skill had to use a lot of Qube. You probably ran out of Qube, right?" Yora grinned widely, showing the victory to Eden.
Eden just stared at Yora. It is true what his enemy said. Qube Eden has been on the verge of limit and will not be used again if it runs out.

The crowded steps of the soldiers make Arion and Daendra have to attach their backs to the wall next to the building. The soldiers passed by without realizing their presence.
Once things were safe again, they ran towards the castle grounds. However, just as they were about to enter, the translucent shields made themselves form like they were crashing into a wall.
"Accuse me. My nose.."
Arion grimaced as he rubbed his nose.
"This shield... is there any way to penetrate it?" Daendra asked a question while researching this magic shield.
"Let me try"
Arion pulled the magic wand from his back. He pointed the stick at the shield wall. A vibration is received by Arion when it releases a certain amount of Qube into the shield.
"It's pretty strong" Arion said.
Daendra snorted in annoyance. His hands were covered in flames and ready to attack. "You don't want to, we have to—"
"No, stupid! You want us arrested?!" Arion holds Daendra's hand.
"We gotta get in, you idiot!"
"Hey, don't call me an idiot, you're an idiot, you idiot!"
"You said to me twice. Do you want me to hit, huh?!"
"Come, go ahead!"
They even quarreled, but fortunately something made them pause the petty quarrel. The sound of footsteps coming from within the shield caught their attention.
"Aciel?!"
Arion glared to find his best friend was in the middle with several soldiers standing on both sides.
"Why are you guys making a fuss here?" Aciel raised his eyebrows, astonished at the two of their childish behavior.
Daendra looked at the soldiers on the left and right sides of Aciel. "You work for Dominick?" eyes cooled.
"Hold on, Prince" Aciel raised his hand forward. "I have sworn to devote myself to Rabadar and his throne. In this position, you are indeed part of Rabadar's enemy"
"Lacking arable—"
Arion stretches his hand to the side, holding Daendra back from his mounting anger.
"I know who you are, Aciel. You helped me sneak into the palace. You're Rabadar's servant, but you're my best friend"
The mood became quiet. With a barrier magic wall that keeps the distance between them. A second later, Aciel smiled and laughed softly. He tapped his wand on the ground, and the shield wall created space for Arion and Daendra to pass through.
"I am Rabadar's servant, but not a traitor" Aciel smiled showing his sincerity.
Arion was relieved, he and Daendra entered the shield. Now they are already in a peaceful castle environment from the attack out there.
"Oh, they're your subordinates. They are rebels" Aciel whispered as he spoke the word rebel. "Come, let's show you who the true heir to the throne is" Aciel turned around and waved his hand in the air. His blue robe fluttered as he turned around.
Arion and Daendra throw one another a glance before following Aciel.
They entered the castle, but passed through a secret passage, which was from the kitchen. Now that area is the most deserted and not guarded. Aciel handed Arion and Daendra over to the soldiers on their side.
"Wait, where are you going?" ask Arion.
"There's something I need to take care of" Aciel replied without even turning her head.
"That guy's getting older the more he changes his attitude" Daendra shook his head slowly.

It could no longer be hidden by this thick wall. The sound of explosions and vibrations generated from the battlefield could not be fended off by the castle walls, especially in Yaena's room.
The woman had already given birth. His son is in good health, but unfortunately the atmosphere is not good. The servants were in Yaena's room, trying to protect and calm Yaena who had wanted to get out.
"Don't ban me!" snapped Yaena. It's really not his real self in a situation like this. Yaena rarely raised her tone.
"I beg you, Princess. It's very dangerous outside"
It was hard for the servants to prevent Yaena from coming out. In addition to being weak, the baby must also be protected. At least, by his own mother.
"I want—"
"Yes"
Klein went into Yaena's room. The dashing man had been clad in armor with a sword drawn sharply. He approached Yaena and held both shoulders.
"Klein, what's going on?"
"This situation cannot be controlled. Outside is very dangerous, enemy forces are attacking and our troops are still fighting out there"
Klein stared at the pair of beautiful eyes that were glaring for a moment, he glanced at the baby basket located next to Yaena's mattress. Klein with his slightly noisy steps approached the basket.
He saw a tiny body wrapped in warm cloth lying peacefully in the basket, as if indifferent to the situation outside. Klein grabbed the child's body from the basket and carried it.
"He's very handsome and brave. Though outside was being messed up" Klein threw a crisp laugh. "You're great, son. Never be afraid of anything and never be afraid of what you face. Your heart and your body are your main weapons"
After meeting his son, Klein put him back on the bed. He walked towards Yaena and kissed her forehead.
"Stay here. Wait until things return to normal"
Klein said so after he came out of the room. Yaena could only fixate and turn to the baby basket that was filled by her baby.

Faesa came out of the palace warehouse located on the outskirts of the palace environment. He hid when some soldiers passed by.
After checking things out, Faesa gets out of there, but is unfortunate when it comes to meeting an old friend.
"How are you, Faesa?"
Aciel asked so but he wrapped around Faesa's body using a powerful magic chain. This magic is so powerful that no matter how strong the Qube Faesa uses will be able to do it.
Aciel is indeed the knight whose development is most impressive among his friends.
"Aciel!" Faesa glared, especially when his completely immovable body was present.
"I know you're part of Ethinos now, so don't move and give up"
"Aciel, please, Aciel! Unhand me!" Faesa rebelled violently. "Please let me go!"
"I hate doing this" Aciel let out a long sigh. He raised one hand into the air, dozens of electric balls appeared around Faesa. "Close down or die"
