Cougar, Tyra and Andre went to see the boys who are now at their limit. The two of them finished the injured Grazie by throwing a cold hard stone punch that sandwiched the Supreme that immediately knocked him out. Tyra delivered him immediately and healed the boys who are now on their individual bodies after the help came. They never had the chance to ask for help since the Supreme broke their transmitters. Cougar went ahead to the cellars but saw Usher ahead playing the keys on his fingers when he suddenly threw them in front of Cougar.
"Your fellows got denied of their abilities ever since they entered those cellars. They might have been exhausted if not for that Clyde who made sure they're being seen well. My part here is done" Usher said and disappeared.
Both twins merged again to combine their strength but it seems they don't have any more left to open their gates again. Then suddenly, Claude appeared in front of them with a proud smile on his lips. The boys recognized him but they're all afraid of what might happen next.
"Shall I take them there for you? It would be best if you go too so you can rest. You can't perform the dance if you're exhausted don't you think?" Claude told boys that somehow relieved them.
"I'll just open the cellars and get your mother" he told them and went off as swift as the wind and came back as soon as he left with their mother on his arms.
The other Ethereal still looked at him with doubt but it seems the family ignored it and left through their father's gate. Tyra came back quick and they started their rescue.
Hale went to help the squad of the Seafolks who were sent to occupy the Charioteer, Rigal was the name Nightingale called him. To his surprise only a couple of them are still on their feet but also exhausted.
"Hey Charioteer!" Hale called that took the Supreme's attention.
"A fire wielder and also a Paladin, this would be fun" Rigal said and wore his widest smile. Honestly, he does not care whether the castle or his fellow Supremes die as long as he could entertain himself with the Ethereal. He did feel the presence of the other Paladins in the castle but he was too amused in bullying the water wielders who swore to defeat him at any cost.
Dylan went to support the other squad that is outside the castle who are currently dealing with Quia, a half-eagle half-man who claimed to dominate the wind element.
Roy found the squad, which was sent inside the castle, all down. Tyra came to his side after a while who seemed to have lost her way but it his confused eyes went final when she saw the one called the Chained Maiden before her.
"Monsieur, I would like to take the Chained Maiden on my own" Tyra said or more like commanded. Acre did not answer her and went straight to the snake-like woman with a pair of bubbled water on either side of her neck. He then recognized her by the gills and scales that the one he's facing is the descendant of the Water Serpent. That clan has been bullying their clan ever since the Ethereal Paladins got buried in the Grave.
"I'll defeat you by the name of my clan" Roy snapped and charged with another weapon in hand, a sword which was hidden inside his thick staff. Minra immediately familiarized that type of weapon is only famous to the clan of the Scorpion.
"My, my, have you come to avenge your pitiful ancestors?" she giggled that made Roy tighten his jaw.
I was trained to be as still as a wave less lake not like a stormy sea. I can't win against her like this. He thought and took deep breaths. Tyra and Reanda are already in their game of tag. Tyra knows that Reanda is a water wielder so she's chosen rocks to go against the mortal foe.
Arael sensed the presence of a strong Ethereal coming towards his and Sophie's direction. He felt more of them inside the castle.
"It seems your army was defeated. The Paladins are making their way in and out in this castle now" Sophie pointed out that irritated Arael more. He felt Usher down below for a short while but his presence disappeared after Grazie's fading one disappeared completely.
