Old Knight Finoc stood rooted to the ground like a mighty tree, surrounded by a verdant aura of Spiritual Energy. He didn't turn his head and said,
"The filthiness of the subspace, if not restrained, will wreak havoc here. Although Lady Cui Si has exiled most of the energy to the Star Realm, even the remnants can cause irreparable damage. A divine decree from my god has descended – it is time for the saint to embrace death."
"What are you babbling about?"
Palano, who had just been fighting side by side with Old Finoc, slammed his battered lance onto the ground. He stared intently at Finoc, his voice stern:
"You are not going anywhere! Your one and only duty is to return to the Knight's fortress with me and answer to Lord Pa Ying! You can't escape from this guilt."
"Indeed, I admit my guilt. A terrible guilt that could frighten countless naughty boys in the night."
The old knight gave a sardonic grin.
