When he couldn't find anything that interested him, he decided to head towards the inn. He would kill the last attunement master and then go to Fort Merit. When he arrived at the inn, he couldn't see the attunement master around and asked the innkeeper:
-Where is Funke?
-Fu-Funke? He is lodging in the fourth room on the upper floor, sir.
-Understood.
He immediately went upstairs and knocked on the door of the fourth room. He was calmer than usual because this time he had a few questions to ask before killing him. Funke, noticing Argus's overwhelming aura, opened the door with his sword in his hand. Argus lightly pushed Funke. Although he did not use much force, it was enough to make him fall.
-Funke, is that you?
-WHAT DO YOU WANT?
-You can stand up. I allow it. I have a few questions for you.
-HOW DARE YOU?! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TO?
-Are you refusing to answer my questions?
-I WOULD RATHER KILL MYSELF THAN ANSWER THE QUESTIONS OF SOMEONE AS ARROGANT AS YOU! HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT? YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!
-You will wish to be dead.
After this argument, Argus took his rapier and first, shattered Funke's sword. Breaking his sword meant breaking his pride, and the only thing he can trust.
-H-How is this possible? Who are you?!
-How dare you? Who do you think you're talking to?
Funke, his pride shattered, began to await his death, but Argus's intention was different. First, he stabbed his rapier into Funke's legs. Funke writhed in pain, screaming.
-STOP! PLEASE STOP! I BEG YOU TO STOP! I WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS, JUST SPARE MY LIFE!
-Oh, really? Well then, tell me. What do you know about the Authority? I heard this place is close to Fort Merit. You must know a few things, right?
-The Authority? What do you want to know about them?
-Everything.
-I-I can't say.
-Don't you realize you're about to die?
-...
Argus then stabbed his rapier into Funke's eye. This pierced his skull and caused his death. After killing the last attunement master, Dreadstar spoke again.
-Hateful one, you have taken our revenge. It's time... now we will walk with you. You will be our home, the guide to our revenge, Dreadstar's. Our existence now depends on you.
-Your existence depends on me now? So, are we one now?
-Just as you thought, hateful one. Our existences are intertwined. We are sworn to each other. Together for a lifetime.
-I see.
With the last attunement master also dead, there was only one thing left to do: going to Fort Merit. Argus couldn't stay here any longer, as the innkeeper had alerted the island's guards after hearing Funke's screams.
He quickly left the inn and headed towards the island's port.
Upon reaching the port, before boarding his ship, he asked one of the port attendants how to get to Fort Merit.
-How can I get to Fort Merit?
-Um-uh, sir. Follow the continuation of the passages you arrived through. After passing the first one, go through the one that's on the north side of the Ignition Union Base, and after a little further, you'll reach Fort Merit. But I must tell you, the Authority is really racist against Etreans. You might not be welcomed there.
-I understand. Thank you.
Now that he knew the route he needed to take, he could set sail. He boarded his ship and set sail towards the first gate. In about an hour, he reached the Ignition Union Base.
