BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

Flames razed the buildings to the ground, winds and gales lashed ever so violently, boulders sprouted off the ground as the earth was split, and explosions rang out in the air, blood and sweat shed as walls and columns crumbled down.

What was once a bright and peaceful day was now a destructive battlefield, violent waves of mana sweeping through the deadly plains as several streaks bolted all over the place, blades swung and arrows fired relentlessly.

A crimson figure brandished her spear and torrents of scorching flames roared across the Court, tearing down the walls and leaving pools of lava in the charted ground. It continued to rage, burning away all plant life in the vicinity.

"Is that the best you could do, General?! You ought to do better!" [Haksen]

"Hahaha! Running away?! Think again, you old hag!" [Malia]

"Tsk! You shameless traitors!" [Cynthia]

She brandished her spear once more, however, it was futile. The moment she attacks one, the other takes their chance and attacks them from where they're still distracted, an alternating pattern which puts the General in a difficult situation.

Well, it wasn't just a General. The Captain of the Royal Guards, the Lt. General, the King, and even the Royal Guards were having difficult times trying to fight the horde of demonic fiends rushing towards them like a devastating flood.

And in the midst of such a difficult and bloody battle, three figures remained standing still. They observed the battle as it was, their eyes swimming towards all directions, a certain figure smiling ever so childishly as he enjoyed the show before them.

"My, looks like they're having a lot of fun. Don't you think so too?" [Piper]

"Answer my question first. Would you like to get beaten to a pulp, frozen to death, burnt to ashes, or get cut up? How would you like to die?" [Grey]

"Ohh~. How scary~. It's the first time we're meeting, and yet you're already trying to threaten me. Aren't you too cold?" [Piper]

"I don't believe we're in good terms to have warm greetings." [Grey]

Those figures were none other than Grey, Yuna, and their new friendー no, their new foe, Piper. He was a bold man who didn't even shiver in the face of death, simply enjoying the battlefield as it is, relishing in the scent of death and symphony of cries.

He looked at the battlefield a final time, before looking at Grey and Yuna properly. It was the first time he was meeting them. However, having met several people during the Civil War, he could already tell they weren't ordinary.

"Ah... Right... You must be the ones Gael was talking about..." [Piper]

"Gael...? Who are you talking about?" [Yuna]

"Huhuhu. It's nothing, please don't mind me. He's just another piece of sh*t like usー No, actually, he's even worse than me, he's the worst piece of sh*t their is~... You see... He's the one who orchestrated this whole thing!" [Piper]

Nonchalant as can be, Piper exposed a secret without even blinking an eye, a soft smile blooming on his face. Whether such a man is to be caught or killed was none of his business. All he wanted to do was have fun.

No... He is a crazy one even amongst the crazy criminals in the world. Whether it be a King or an Emperor, he would dare to point his spear towards them so long as he makes a bit of chaos, even killing the innocent if necessary.

It was the reason why the General loathed him so much. He was a crazy bastard who neither has morals or integrity, simply doing as he pleases as if he rules the world. The General had already warned them about him, but he seems to be even crazier.
