While Ril and arrived at the Velos City, they found a shell keep castle beside the sea. They wanted to go in but they hesitated at first, but then, they proceeded to go in to investigate if they can get something useful. They explored all the areas on that castle and they found nothing until they went to an a big place on that castle, it looked like an Arena, there were so many roaring voices of the audiences that surrounds it. Above the arena, there were three special seats that were looking at them, it seemed like these people were waiting for them. Among them, they saw Irene, an adult man, and lastly, Jiro. Then the adult man went near them and introduced himself "Welcome Folks, My name is Isolde, The Clan Leader of Blue Clan and the father of Jiro, I know you're here for my son, but I won't let you have him back, unless you defeat him in a duel, and if you lose the duel, you will also lose your life" He said while smirking maliciously.
'A duel? Knowing Jiro, he might not even attack any of us' Ril thought to himself
"All right, I accept the duel" Ril stood in and agreed
Isolde smiled back and said "The Duel starts....Now!"
Ril did not made a first move but instead, Jiro attacked first, he threw ice swords towards Ril and it injured Ril slightly. Ril was surprised by that attack, and he asked himself 'why?...' at that moment, he felt betrayed that his friend is attacking him with an intent to kill him, until, he saw that the ice that attacked him started to melt and it made him think 'the ice melted... Jiro's ice don't melt...' he thought and suddenly staring at him 'well well, isn't it just a mere puppet' he thought to himself while smiling like a maniac and thrilled, he finally draw his weapon and resonated it with lightning. Chijin who was watching the fight was surprised that he can manipulate two powers because mostly people can only manipulate one power.
While these situations happened, the real Jiro was struggling to get out of his cell on the basement, after a while, he saw a familiar silhouette, a silhouette of a young boy and Jiro let out a voice saying someone's name "Li...Yin?" Then a young boy who looked like a younger version of him suddenly appeared, it was his ten year old brother "Brother..." Li Yin talked while holding a key
"What are you doing with the keys?"
"Brother I'm here to help you escape"
Jiro hearing those words made him very worried, because he knows it is a taboo to help their prisoners escape even if they're blood related
"NO! I don't want you to help me! Your life could be in danger" he shouted in anger
"But I need to help you! I don't want to lose you brother! I don't want to lose the only people who cared for me in this hellish place" Li Yin replied in while crying
"Li Yin..." Jiro voiced out his name
"That day, I heard it too, the reason why you ran away from home. Even if I was still young that time I can understand everything father and sister talked about, they talked about killing you and extracting something from you when you're already 10 years old. Now it's even worse that you're already 14 because they can extract the thing they want from you anytime, so please brother.... please... accept my help" Li Yin begged his brother to accept his help, but Jiro still did not agree.
Thus, Li Yin has no other choice but to make his brother lose consciousness and opened his cell while started dragging him outside and he started crying while smiling knowing the consequences of his actions but none of that mattered to him, his brother's safety is what's important to him at the moment.
When they went outside of the castle, he saw a boat, and it was the boat Chijin and Ril used, he saw a carved lotus flower on the boat and it made him thought 'it seems your friends have come here to save you brother...I must inform them that you're already here"
