The Royal Family's Horse Farm was approximately six hundred meters from the Rapier Pavilion, and a few minutes had passed. Silvery Reed Sword Casio had already covered half the distance. He walked along the tranquil alleyway, as a few withered leaves fell from the Tree Crown behind the Enclosure Wall.
Whoosh...
Suddenly, a figure burst out from the shadows at the corner of the wall, with a Cloak billowing behind him like a rolling, hovering dark cloud. He approached Casio with incredible speed, a fierce gleam flashing in his eyes. Crack! His burly arm suddenly swelled to nearly twice its size, his fingers outspread like Eagle Claws, their surfaces covered with thick veins. As his palm swung out in a whipping motion, the air was sharply torn apart.
The airstream was instantly ruptured, as if five Steel Claws were reaching toward the figure ahead.
Bang!
