Ryx was speeding his flight. He began to catch up with Kieran. Ryx extended his hand, trying to grab Mio's coat. He smiled; think he was going to catch her.

Suddenly, a golden light was radiating from Mio's tail. Her tail was swinging and threw a golden wave energy blast. That happened too fast, Ryx couldn't anticipate that. The golden wave was shaping a crescent, then, it was flying to Ryx and hit him.

Second later, Ryx was lurching backward and hit the tree. The tree was cracked, and shortly, the tree collapsed. Ryx vomited a gulp of blood.

Kieran who was heard that surprised. He didn't expect Mio was so strong. He used this moment to run away from Ryx. Though Ryx was lurched by Mio’s attack, Kieran couldn't leave his life to Mio alone. It was better to run rather than expect Mio would beat Ryx.

"F-fast," Mio’s voice was trembling. Kieran furrowed his brow. He twisted his head and look at Mio.

"What happens? Are you ok?"

Kieran found something strange. He saw Mio’s eyes changing into some that looked like beast eyes. Its pupils were horizontal lines. In her cheeks, three lines formed a whisker. Her nail slowly became sharper and more piercing into his skin.

"I couldn't hold it a-anymore."

"Wait! I don't know what happen but can you hold it? Don't make this situation worst!"

"I-I am sorry, go away from me!"

Mio was roaring, she opened her mouth widely as she was ready to bite Kieran. Kieran used his hand to push her away.

Mio fell. But she used her hand to hold her body from dropping to the ground. Then, she was jumping and bent her upper body forward, and sitting her hands on the ground. Immediately, she ran with both her hand and feet.

She was moving so fast toward Kieran. Kieran tried to run away but she was going to catch him up in a few seconds. Mio pounced on Kieran.

Kieran’s eyes opened widely. He was regretting for broke the seal. It was a tremendous mistake for him.

"Is this my end?" Kieran closed his eyes when Mio was just a few inches from him.

Suddenly, an explosive sound made Kieran startled. He opened his vision slowly. He could see the amount of dust soaring into the sky. He couldn't find Mio anywhere. Kieran suggested Mio was there in the dust.

"Go away, you aren't my target. Better you go and leave this monster to me."

Kieran was confused; he couldn't decide what he must do. Should he just leave Mio alone? Or protect her from Ryx? He just knows Mio recently; he didn't have a responsibility to protect her. Furthermore, this was a chance to go away from Ryx. Even Though Ryx was given a chance to leave, he might change his mind if Kieran didn't run away.

Ryx was gazing at Kieran, "What are you waiting for? I'll kill you if you still stay there."

Kieran stood and ran quickly. Soon, he could hear loud roaring from behind. After that, a terrifying wind was exploding and spread in all directions. A battle between Mio who was uncontrolled against Ryx who used Sky Lord’s power.

"I am not wrong, it’s her fault that she didn't tell me about that."

Kieran tried to ensure himself that he wasn't wrong. He didn't know her; she was just a stranger that coincidentally met him.

But some feeling was rising within his heart. Mio was the first person which had close contact with Kieran after his mother’s died years ago. It was short but Kieran felt a fresh daily life when Mio was around.

"I couldn't leave her alone," Kieran stopped running. He couldn't lie that Mio became an important person to him.

"But how I could beat Ryx?" If he was trying to save Mio, of course, Ryx will chase him. What he could do to stop Ryx? If could, Kieran won't kill Ryx because Ryx had left him to go several minutes ago.

"Aghk!" Ryx vomited blood again, he wiped the blood which left a trace under his lips.

He looked at Mio. That girl currently had a wounded body. She was growling at Ryx with a wild posture.

"I don't expect she was so strong. Her physical statistics are definitely around 10.0 or 11.5. Zed told me she had been poisoned, didn't her real statistics will higher than now? I must beat her quickly."

Ryx stretched his hand forward. He was going to unleash his skill. Before he unleashed his skill, suddenly, a spear was flying toward him. Ryx leaned his body to avoid the spear. Kieran appeared from the tree and ran toward Mio.

Mio who was in an uncontrolled mind stared at Kieran. She was about to attack him. Kieran took the bottle from his pocket. Then, he opened the lid and dropped a drip of green liquid inside the bottle into his hand.

Soon, Kieran splashed the drips of green liquid toward Mio. Mio's hand was gripping Kieran’s shoulder. But a second later, she was fainting. Kieran used that moment to create a handcuff and locked her hand.

Kieran put Mio on his shoulder and started to run. Ryx unleashed fierce wind. Fortunately, Kieran was fast enough to make a shield with his 2nd skill. Kieran used the adjacent trees to interrupt Ryx's flying.

"That's the wrong choice boy," Ryx was angry because Kieran didn't appreciate the chance he had given. Ryx was flying over the trees and speeding his flying.

After he caught up with Kieran’s speed, Ryx was swooping toward Kieran who was running away. Suddenly, Kieran turned around. Kieran smiled slightly.

"Night Doom."

Ryx was shocked when he saw nothing but darkness. He knows about this skill; it was Asmodeus’s Believer skill. Ryx was regretting that he didn't put attention to Kieran. Ryx tried to get out of the dark area but a second later he found his body couldn't move.

"I have put a thousand strings around here. Just one pull and someone will get caught," Kieran walked slowly toward Ryx. He brought out the green liquid bottle that he used at Mio. This green liquid bottle was a precious poison. This poison was could make someone pass out with just a sniff. For a mage like Mio and Ryx, the effect was weaker. But it was enough.

"Impudent! Do you think you could run from this Kingdom? Moore family will hunt you! You didn't have a place to live!" Ryx bellowed.

Kieran poured a handful of green liquid and splashed it on Ryx face. Soon, Ryx lost consciousness.

"I am sorry but I don't afraid of them."
