The explosion echoed through the castle, its force pulsating beneath the feet of all within. As the shockwave subsided, five mysterious individuals emerged from the flames, casually approaching the four knights of rounds who stood guard at the front gate.
The mysterious attackers were the Noctem Dolls, whose goal was the king's life.
As the youngest member of Rounds, Isaac was very proud of his title and his seniors because he was currently standing amongst powerful people. So even if a criminal as powerful as Dolls came, he was confident enough to handle it together with the other Rounds members.
However, one of the Rounds members with the strongest defense, Odbert Edgehum, was now just a flattened mass of flesh and blood lying in front of Isaac.
"Is this the Witch of Dread's god's blessing?!" said Stannard.
"The powerful Odbert died in just an instant," said a shocked Isaac.
