The sword drawn was not the "Night Watchman" but the Dragon Scale Sword. As the sword light slashed down, the black light on that unfamiliar Circle Sorcerer's body gushed out like the crows earlier, but the next moment it burst like a bubble under the sword light.
"I thought there was a huge conspiracy involved, but after all this, you just had the misfortune of targeting Emilia."
Shard led Emilia forward instead of pursuing further. The Circle Sorcerer wearing the jester mask was already coughing blood and sprawled on the ground. As Shard and Emilia got closer, he conjured a black mist and turned to escape. Shard didn't chase after him, because soon after, Emilia's two companions, Mr. Rio Enhill and Miss Matilda Delas, returned with the fleeing man.
The mask was removed from his face, and Emilia, clutching Shard's arm, immediately recognized him:
"It's him, the one who sold me that metal dice on the train!"
"You'll never find out the secrets of the Order!"
