The guards gathered around Argon, asking, "What happened, sir?" Argon gazed curiously at the horizon as one of his men spoke to him.
"Sir, everything is fine, huh?" "Yes, there's no need to worry." At the dinner table, he wondered, "Who is that girl? Is she one of the Assassins I killed?" He remained lost in thought, pondering the girl.
"Sir, sir, are you with me?" "Ah yes, Scott..."
"Sir, the Forbiddens have attacked a peasant village, and one of the villagers came to me asking for our help and... he wants to see you."
"Who...?"
"You know, sir... one of the villagers."
"Tell him to leave," said Noyata, one of the castle's pillars. "We don't need any more trouble."
"No, let him in," said Argon sharply. He entered. He was a boy. Sorrow was evident in his eyes. "Sir, I beg you. The village is destroyed, and I saw people turn into monsters. I came running from my father." "What? Why? Isn't this your father?" Scott asked in surprise. "No, perhaps he's the one who turned," was Argon's reply. "Very well... Scott, get ready. We have a massacre to carry out." The boy looked in shock at Argon and Scott, tears welling in his eyes. "Wait, what massacre? Do you mean wiping out the villagers...?"
A sharp sound and a powerful blow. She screamed in pain. This was Kayla's punishment for disobeying the Commander's orders. "Commander, is this enough?"
"You were one of his closest warriors, but now that things have changed, you've become the greatest traitor, a whore. And how dare you disobey His Majesty, our Commander Yan Cotto? You deserve to die and be tortured." Kayla gasped in pain, "Shut up, you bastard! You're all scum. You've been exposed. You... you turn people into monsters. Merciless." "Let her speak. These are her last words. Ha ha ha... she'll be crucified here until the birds eat her head, so the world can witness the fate of those who betray my orders." Yan Cotto's words dripped with mockery.
Argon and Scott headed toward the village, the child's attempts to stop them proving futile.
Argon and Scott arrived. The crisis had already begun. The village was teeming with hundreds of wounded. Scott glared at Argon. "Damn it, we're too late. A horde of UBM's attacked them... Damn it, those savages..." Argon unleashed a white aura that scattered them all, his eyes turning a deep blue. Blow! His fist ignited with blue flames, the earth split open, and all the shapeshifters were sent flying. Scott stepped forward for a moment and raised his hand to the sky, unleashing a powerful flame—enough for you, dear reader, to witness a celestial carnage. "What a spectacular display," Argon said sadly. "Alas, there's no other option."
Argon turned back toward the castle. "Wait, my lord, what are we to do about this...?" "What about the village?" Argon said coldly. "Burn it down yourself if you wish."
Then he went to the castle, leaving Scott bewildered.
