BOOM*

Guards: "WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!" The guard shout is heard after the sound of explosion echo.

Arnold: "Shit, I know this is coming" he hurriedly grab his staff and get to the door. "Stop the carriage!!" He shouts to the coachman before jumping to get outside.

Chad: "don't you dare to go anywhere!" Chad sternly commands to Cecilia, who has shocked expression after being surprised by the sound of the explosion.

Chad: "this thing is out of your league, brat," he said that harsh truth to her, before he then goes outside, following his liege to fight against whatever there is.

Diana there didn't say anything and just followed Chad behind. But the glint in her eyes indicating that Cecilia is in fact, useless in this part.

Cecilia, after seeing them all came out, just sit still in her seat, didn't know what she will or can do to help. A bitter feeling takes over her heart as she wants to go, but get held by the order that being given just now.

Bella: "Cecilia..."

She turns her head to the side unconsciously after her name being called. And in there is a smiling Bella, looked as restless as her, but can keep her smile stick to her face.

Bella: "you may can't participate, but you still can see and learn here" as she said that, she opened the window to outside, making the scenery there unfold to Cecilia's eyes.

The night is dark, but the green plain is coloured by fiery red here and there, scattered across the place. It's Illuminating the grass plain in light, making her can see what is actually going on outside, and her heart skipped a beat at that.

???: "You may not pass this place" this person's voice is echoing in the whole place, making everyone here can hear it.

Arnold: "Hmph! Crazy cultist, a full squad of them at that. Where is your leader?!" Arnold shouts at them with the same echoing voice. He cannot hold his rage anymore.

Arnold: 'the cultist is really here...I hope I can make it in time...' he thought in his mind. His feeling is turning bad as he sees this situation. Its seems the circumstances have turned to the worst, that Yoro is somehow has involved in this messed up organization. He regrets it so much that he didn't realize it sooner.

???: "Heh, we don't need our leader just to stop weakling like you" he haughtily said under the robes.

Arnold: 'tsk, he is lying..' Arnold experience as marquis for over than dozen years told him that. But instead good, that's mean they were just decoys.

Arnold: 'I really hope this won't turn into the worst circumstances possible...' he silently pray in his heart to whatever god out there.

But that's a shame because even god himself won't hear his prayer right now...

================================

In Ehrenar Slum...

Inside the certain bar there, Yoro silently proceeds deeper. Looking right and left vigilantly and ready to respond to all kind of danger it would bring.

His clairvoyance is non-activated right now, due to darkness in here making his vision is instead turn to worsen if he activating his cheat.

Walking slowly inside the darkness, at some point in the way, Yoro is surprised by the sudden change in his surrounding.

Light

He covers his eyes in reflex with both of his hands. The sudden brightness was caught him off guard as his eyes need to adjust from the abrupt brightness alteration here. So he jumps behind for multiple times to avoid any attacks there...or if there is any at all.

Bump*

Yoro: "what the...!?" He exclaimed in surprise as he stopped jumping behind. In a sudden, there is something that made him stop retreating more distant, its like...there is a hard layer of invisible wall.

Yoro: 'a barrier!?' When his vision coming back to him, he finally can see what it is, and his eyes widen in surprise at the process.

???: "hehehe, are you surprised, boy?" Then a male voice is coming from his front, prompting him to turn his head instinctively at the source.

In there, is standing the same red-cloaked guy he followed before. The same with the one that walks passed him in the alley. But the difference now is his face is out and free for him to see.

His face that full of wrinkle and hair is half bald with the ones remaining are greyish white, a clear sign of the oldness of him

???: "hehe, well let me introduce myself first then. I am Rojo, that killer who you may be searching for...isn't that right? Marquis son, Yoro..."

Yoro: "it seems there is no need for the introduction of myself..." He cautiously responds to him. Because even if he is old, Yoro is by no means underestimate him for even one bit.

It is the opposite instead.

Yoro doesn't know how, or why, but a dangerous aura can be felt coming out from that fragile and old body of Rojo, making Yoro wary of every single move this guy makes.

So Yoro instantly activating his cheat without wasting any time further, trying to see what's gonna happened dozen seconds afterwards.

But not one second later,

Rojo: "[bullēt]" he said while pointing his finger at him. At the same time he said that, a water...a high-pressured one then instantly be made before launching itself at Yoro.

Yoro: 'dangerous!' He thought inside as he avoiding it by moving sideways. With *bang! sound, A circular hole is made at the impact point in the ground.

Yoro's eyes widen in shock when he sees the after-effect of that attack just now. 'Is that the power of magic?' He thought in wonder. Even if he knows the mass-killer at that time is a magic user, seeing its in action is a whole different matter.

After which making him divert his eyes back at the said guy, knowing it fully well enough that he is really a dangerous person. 'Then me too also must get serious then...' He thought before activating his clairvoyance one more time.

His blue eyes gleaming in the lightened up room, a sign he activating his cheat, but in his future vision there, not even 3 seconds has passed but the guy already moved once again.

Rojo: "[bullēt], [bullēt], [bullēt]" he grins at him while three of them, three of the same attacks are coming towards him in a deadly angle.

Bang!* bang!* bang!*

Yoro: 'there, there and there!' He memorizes all projectile of the attack before moving his body to dodge it.

Fortunately, with the agile body and legs he has been trained off with Chad this weeks, he can avoid it with a minimum movement possible to save his energy.

While the clairvoyance would let him see some seconds in the future, it'll be cancelled as soon as his future dies. So he must be remembered where the projectile would land and give it the best reaction he can muster of.

Rojo: "hmm...I am impressed" he said as he holds his white-beardy chin before adding: "it seems your bravery to enter this place was not just based on unfounded confidence right there," he said with arrogant tone and cocky grin at Yoro.

Just now, he can see clearly how this brat can avoid all of his attack like it was nothing, but rather than annoyed by this very fact, this old man is instead making a wide grin at him.

And the cause of that is revealed one second later

Rojo: "hehe, AHAHAHAHA! Well done brat! But let's see if that confidence of yours will last long enough, shall we?" And after that, the finger that pointed at Yoro retracted and changed into a palm. "Find my enemies [hóming bullēt]!"

Yoro has a cheat, a broken cheat that let him find a flaw in every attack that guy uses. Additionally, he is smart enough to utilize it properly into its maximum effect.

So in Rojo vision there, he almost rejoices when the bullet is about to hit that fragile skull of that brat...almost.

Because in the last second, Yoro moved his head to the side, letting the bullet stroke the hard barrier behind him. And It makes the very barrier there to form a ripple after the explosion happened

Rojo: 'what!?' He shouts in his mind. 'Someone is actually dodging that attack!?' He thought in surprise.

Its actually quite understandable, in an attack with the speed as fast as a bullet, it is almost impossible to react and dodge with a normal human reflex when the bullet is already in front of you.

If you have seen it coming from far away, dodging it before its come near you is the best course someone can take, but there is exactly where the homing ability come in play.

The bullet would have enough distance to divert itself to the target, making every and any living target die in the process...but something different happened to Yoro.

Yoro there is actually can dodge it in impossible range, the range where the bullet cannot shift itself in any way possible. With how much fast bullet is already, it would need more distance with the more angle it needs to shift.

And Yoro uses that flaw with his cheat, making the feat that normal person find it unbelievable.

Yoro: "hou, where is your cocky grin disappear, oh mister killer?" This time, the one whose grin is Yoro, making vein bulged out from the old man's forehead.

Rojo: 'b-bastard...' He grit his teeth in annoyance as he thinks of that. It seems fighting against white heir isn't as easy as he thought, even if he hasn't awakened yet.
