I prepared my sword, gripping it tightly, ready for battle.

His body changed.

His hair and clothes remained the same, but I couldn't say the same for his body.

His body seemed to split into two. One was light, and one was dark.

"You dare challenge me?" He said.
"Hell yeah I dared." I smiled.
"After all, I am your strongest paladin. I am not one to go out without a fight. That would be too boring, don't you think?"

"Indeed." He nods.

"Now, let's dance!" He announces.

"Chaos: Warcry!" He chants.

I felt I was pulled down by an unseen force. I can't move!

He charges towards me with a sword. "Peace: Brilliance!" He summons rays of light towards me. I dodged them, and I did it flawlessly, if I do say so myself.

He can't do two sides at once? With that power?

"Summon: The Legend of King Arthur." I said calmly, summoning the book. He summons the rays of light again.

The red gem in my neckwear started glowing.

"Legend of King Arthur: Vivian's Mercy!" I said, absorbing the damage, then dodging his sword, touching his shoulder.

"Legend of King Arthur: Morgan's Mischief." I said, releasing the rays of light I absorbed and Juancho's bullets from earlier. He flew back to the concrete wall.

"Knight's Valor!" I said, summoning swords around me, then releasing it with force, aiming at him.

*Meanwhile....*

Juancho was revived by Dashner's ability, which also revives allies who died few minutes before activation. Overpowered, I know.

Fitzgerald is fighting Juancho, Mori is fighting Burnett, Kunikida and Yosano are fighting Shikibu and Beauvoir, Tanizaki is fighting Nietzsche, Ozaki is fighting Pizan, Kyoka is fighting Luther, Atsushi is fighting Shakespeare, Kenji is fighting Tolkien , Rio is fighting Andersen , Dazai is fighting Dashner, and Chuuya is fighting Riordan.

(Author: Holy shit, that was a long ass sentence. (●__●)

Riordan's ability, The Lightning Thief, was a mess. His ability lets him summon lightning, but he can't seem to control it without Dashner's help. Defeating him was no problem for Chuuya.

Chuuya straightened himself up, fixing his choker.

"This guy's dead now, I wonder how the others are-" He was stopped by a sound of a door opening. He looked around for any other escape routes.

"Well, I guess this is the only way forward then." He sighs, picking up his coat and holding it over his shoulder. He faced the opened door, wondering what lies past it.

"Well, I would find it out if I don't try." He shrugs. "I wonder how the others are doing.

Ozaki won against Pizan. Paladins fell one by one----soon, only Shakespeare, Lore, Tolkien, and Dashner were left.

Let's check up on Dazai and oh?

He's running away from a bunch of monsters. He seems to be in a maze. Is he alright?

Juancho is defeated for the second time.

Juancho fell to his knees after he flew to a concrete wall. Fitzgerald paces towards him.

"Fukuzawa told me to help them in this mission." He said. "I'm sparing you for a reason."

"And what reason? To get information from me?" Juancho sputters out. "I have nothing to share with you. I am simply the Creator's puppet. Even as a paladin, he hides a lot from us, even (l/n) doesn't know anything about him."

"We don't know his name, nor his ability. But the only information I can is.." His voice trails off, then starts a coughing fit.

"That door over there is now opened." He gestures to the door. "Inside that room, there are 12 doors. Doors that are painted red are no longer accessible. That means whoever Paladin is inside is already defeated."

"The door over there. That door leads to Creator. (L/n) is most likely to be there." He said. "Go now, I'll be fine, Fitzgerald. I can take care of myself."

*End*

"Le Chevalier de Rose Crimson: Royal Ranger! Twin Blades: Oda Nobunaga!"

"Chaos: Requiem!" Loud music erupted, breaking the windows and making multiple cracks in the walls.
The music grew louder and louder.

A familiar blonde charged past me, and punched him straight in the face.
Lore flew past the wall to another room.

He was that blonde man I saw earlier on the monitor!

"Are you alright, young lady?" He asked.
".. yeah" I nod.

Lore slowly got on his feet, glaring at the both of us.

"Stupid human. Are you not taught that butting in is rude?" He said.
"I have heard of such things, but there was door leading here. You should know how to welcome a guest." The blonde smirks, adjusting his necktie.

"Le Chevalier de Rose Crimson: Indomitable Justice." I said, transforming my clothes into a white bodysuit and full-body armor. I had bright wings on the left and swords as wings on my right. I still had Nobunaga as swords. "Impressive." The man comments.

We charged to Lore, who suddenly panicked. The blonde took out a credit card and activated his ability, the Great Fitzgerald.

"Nobunaga's Rage!" I said, releasing devastating fire damage in the area.
Fitzgerald was fine, and delivered a punch on Lore.

"Chaos: Storm of Rage!" He shouts, enveloping the room in darkness. Suddenly a bunch of spears of light showered.
"Legend of King Arthur: Vivian's Mercy." I summoned the book quickly, absorbing the damage. But the barrier couldn't take it, and it was beginning to crack. Lore summoned one last spear.

Then, the gem of my neckwear disappeared. And in front of us, Shiro appeared, stopping the spear with his bare hands.

"What? How did you-! That's not supposed to-!" Lore scrambles, searching for an answer. "This can kill humans instantly, right?" Shiro started.

"Too bad mister, because I'm a God." He smirks. Lore's eyes shot wide in shock. "You made a bad move, angering the God of War." He said, gripping the spear so hard it snapped.

"Get on your feet, Fitzgerald, (y/n). Let's kick this guy's ass."

Meanwhile.....

Juancho got on his feet, and walked towards the opened door. It was as if it was calling him. During his time alone, he was contemplating on his decisions in life. He was Fitzgerald, who used to be their enemy organization, The Guild's leader. And yet he saw him, helping others, and who knows what's going on in Lore's room.

He silently thanked Dashner for giving him a second chance for life, even though it was probably just an accident.

A part of his soul awakened, telling him it's not too late for him to change. He saw the 12 doors, with 3 doors painted red. He looked at the door he entered from once again, and it was red.

"It's not too late, Juancho." He tells himself. "It's not too late." He tells himself once again, entering the room Fitzgerald entered. "I'm coming, Fitzgerald-sama."
