When Nial reached Bella and stood beside her, he let down Mathias before averting his focus back to the direction of the six Guardian Knights.
He was aware of the Guardian Knight's existence as he had read something about the different type of existing Runic armaments.
The Puppet-type was deemed quite rare because they were extremely complex and cost-intensive to produce.
That was what he had read in one of the books they had collected.
There was not much Nial knew about Puppet-type runic armaments, just that they existed.
'I should have read more about them, maybe I would have gotten a clue of their weakness…'
While Nial began to curse himself inwardly, Mathias had regained his focus. His heart was beating rapidly owing to the near brush with death.
