After crawling through the vents, the trio were surrounded by soldiers and engage them in combat.

Hyuga linked with Alvin and unleashed their Link Arte.

Hyuga: Alvin!

Alvin: Let's go!

Both: Demonic Blade!

The two fired an X-shaped slash from their swords that knocks the guards back before Hyuga swiftly knocks them out with swift chops on the neck.

After placing the guards down to lay on the floor, Hyuga took a key from one of the guards.

Rowen then speaks.

Rowen: That key may grant us access to the control room.

Hyuga: Then, what are we waiting for. Let's go!

After taking off the armor and putting it in a bag to be replaced by his regular attire, Hyuga, Rowen and Alvin fought their way through the guards and arrived at the room where Milla is fighting a man in red and black clothing.

Hyuga then jumps down and slashes the man off Milla, who was glad to see the boy.

Milla: Look who showed up late...

Hyuga then helps Milla up.

Hyuga: Are you hurt anywhere??

Milla: Not at all.

Hyuga then turned around to look at Nachtigal, who was shocked upon seeing Hyuga, who glares at him.

Hyuga: Remember me, Nachtigal... that boy whose parents you took 10 years ago!

Nachtigal: You're that boy.... the boy of the man and woman who fought my strongest weapon!

Hyuga nods.

Hyuga: That's right... And you'll pay for taking the lives of countless citizens for your vile plans!

Nachtigal looked up and saw Rowen floating down before speaking.

Nachtigal: Ilbert? is that you?

Guard: Rowen Ilbert...

Hyuga was shocked upon hearing Rowen's full name.

Hyuga: Wait, what? The Ilbert from the history books?! "Ilbert the Conductor"?!

Alvin: I knew he was more than a old butler.

Then a man appeared beside Nachtigal and talks.

He has short silver hair with red tips combed to the back and two red bangs framing his face, red-brown eyes and white marks on the left side of his face.
