Sin, who had been observing the tense exchange, stepped forward. He knew that Sia's life was hanging in the balance, and he couldn't let her face such a dire threat alone. With a calm yet resolute demeanor, he addressed Count Murmur. Sin explained that they had no intention of taking Lita and that her disappearance was a mystery to them as well. He urged Count Murmur to consider their words seriously before taking any drastic actions. Sin wanted to act as if he or they didn't know where LIta went and search for other areas, he wanted to buy time as much as he could.
Count Murmur shifted his attention to Sin, his glassy eye fixing on him with a peculiar intensity. Sin's presence and the mention of Lita seemed to intrigue him. The Count's frog-like visage betrayed little emotion, but his mind was undoubtedly racing with possibilities. He had expected a simple retrieval mission, but the situation had taken an unexpected turn.
As the tension in the air grew, Count Murmur's thoughts became clearer. He considered the possibility that these individuals might genuinely not know where Lita was. However, he was not one to easily abandon his goals. Count Murmur had a reputation for being both cunning and ruthless in his pursuit of what he desired.
With an air of calculated composure, Count Murmur addressed Sin directly. He acknowledged the possibility that they might not be involved in Lita's disappearance but remained resolute in his determination to retrieve her. He insisted that if they had encountered Lita, they should return her to him promptly and without resistance.
The situation remained precarious, with Count Murmur's intentions shrouded in mystery. Sia, Sin, and the others could only hope that their words had swayed him even slightly, buying them some time and perhaps a chance to uncover the truth behind Lita's sudden vanishing act.
The Chief Knight nodded, acknowledging Count Murmur's directive. He shared Count Murmur's sentiment to some extent, believing that Sia might genuinely be clueless about Lita's disappearance. However, the Chief Knight couldn't shake the suspicion that the enigmatic boy with Gungnir might hold the key to the mysterious event.
As the Chief Knight contemplated his next move, a plan began to form in his mind. He believed that if he tested his theory by attacking Sia, he could potentially uncover more about Sin's abilities and whether he was responsible for Lita's vanishing act. With a determined resolve, he raised his gleaming sword, its blade glinting ominously in the dim light.
Sia, though brave and unwavering, felt a shiver of apprehension coursing through her as she locked eyes with the Chief Knight. She knew that defending herself against such a formidable opponent would be an incredible challenge. Her grip on her own blade tightened, ready to meet the impending strike.
The Chief Knight, a seasoned warrior with years of training and experience, was about to make his move. He swung his sword with a precise and powerful motion, aiming to strike Sia. As the blade sliced through the air, he watched intently, ready to see if Sin would intervene once again.
In that pivotal moment, Sia's instincts kicked in. She raised her sword in an attempt to deflect the Chief Knight's attack. The impact of the clash sent shockwaves through her body, and she struggled to maintain her footing. The Chief Knight's strength was undeniable, and Sia could feel the pressure of his assault bearing down on her.
Sin's Blue Emperor eyes, a formidable tool in his arsenal, had granted him a glimpse into the Chief Knight's intentions. As he observed the unfolding events, he couldn't help but think of Sia's brash decision to confront the Chief Knight directly. In that pivotal moment, Sin's instincts took over, propelling him into action.
With unparalleled speed, Sin dashed toward Sia, propelled by the power of his accelerator shoes. The Chief Knight's blade hung menacingly in the air, poised to strike, but Sin was determined to intervene before it could land a fatal blow. He knew that he had to act swiftly to ensure Sia's safety.
In an almost blur of motion, Sin reached Sia just as the Chief Knight's sword descended. He wrapped his arms around her and, with a burst of kinetic force, propelled both of them away from the impending danger. The sudden shift in momentum caused Sia's heart to race, and for a moment, it felt as though time had slowed.
However, this daring rescue did not proceed as smoothly as Sin had envisioned. His control over the accelerator shoes, a device that had often served him well in moments of crisis, seemed to falter at this critical juncture. As he soared through the air with Sia in his arms, a sense of impending dread washed over him.
Unable to regulate the break of the accelerator's speed, Sin and Sia plummeted from the hillside with alarming velocity. The wind howled past them, and the ground rushed up to meet them at an alarming rate. Panic threatened to take hold as they descended further and further into the abyss.
Sin strained against the uncontrollable propulsion, desperately searching for a way to regain command over the situation. His thoughts raced, considering every possible solution to their impending collision with the unforgiving earth below. It was a test of his ingenuity and resourcefulness in the face of dire circumstances.
Sia, her initial shock giving way to determination, clung tightly to Sin as they hurtled downward. She knew that their survival depended on his quick thinking and unwavering resolve. Fear gripped her heart, but she drew strength from Sin's presence and the knowledge that they were in this together.
As Sin and Sia hurtled towards the ground at a breakneck speed, Sin's mind raced to find a solution to their perilous situation. The ground was rapidly approaching, and the consequences of a high-speed impact would be disastrous. Sin's first instinct was to rely on his formidable Kamui technique, a power that had saved him from countless predicaments before. However, fate had other plans in store for them.
