    However, the fact that she''s seriously injured doesn''t change . It will be difficult for her to escape .


    [Where do you plan to take me… . . ?]


    With a weak weak voice, Yukime asked . What lied ahead is a snowy field as far as she can see .


    [The source of those counterfeit came from the Lawless city . The gold is there as well right?]


    [...I see, so you planned to have me take you to the gold . ]


    [That''s right . If you honestly tell me I will at least spare your life . ]


    Yukime made a small smile .


    [The gold huh...… Even If I take you there, you wouldn''t be able to get your hands on it . ]


    [——What did you say?]


    [That place has John Smith guarding it . There''s no way you can win against him . ]


    [That guy is your accomplish huh... . . But to me who have acquired this new power, I will never lose . No one can take anything away from me again . ]


    [New power… . ? Gettan, what are you talking about . ]


    [Whoever doesn''t possess power will be taken from . You must already know this, there''s a cult that is lurking in the backside of the world . It was an outrageous organization that manipulates, capture and experiment on beast-kin . They target your Yoko tribe and my Great Wolf tribe who hold great power . ]


    [Our tribes were targeted...?]


    [Aah . I took the deal, in exchange of my obedience I would acquire great power . If we have power we wouldn''t get taken from . That''s why I got this power , but... . !]


    Gettan put a strength into his arms .


    [Gettan… If that is true, why is it that the village was destroyed . Why did you enter such a cult . ]


    [Shut up ! That wasn''t supposed to happen! If we did as Lord Mordred told that wouldn''t...but...I will not stop now . I will never hand over things that are precious to me anymore, I will get the power that will prevent that from happening . If the a.s.sociation succeeds, I can enter the Rounds(the group high ranking antagonist from the first arc . ) . If I do that no one will be able to interfere anymore, for that sake, I have to become the [3rd] awakened one . ]


    [3rd awakened one… . . ?]


    [That''s what they called those who can utilize the power of the tablet to the maximum, the power needed to get yourself into the Rounds . ]


    Gettan got up .


    [Hey Yukime, tell me . Where is the gold . ]


    [...…Do you really think I will tell you?]


    [If I entered the Rounds, we will never be taken from again . Yoko tribe and Great Wolf tribe too, you and I are the only one left . Let''s take a do-over with me, Yukime . ]

    The fact that you didn''t kill me back then mean that you still have feeling for me . You were a pa.s.sionate woman since long ago . Back then we were fiancee , this time let''s get married for real . ]


    Gettan hugged Yukime from behind .


    He brings his face closer and put his lips on her cheek . Yukime closed her eyes and look down .


    Then—— .


    [...No . ]


    She rejected him .


    [What did you say?]


    [The Gettan I know wasn''t such a weakling . He wasn''t a man who would rely on a tablets, rely on gold and betrayed the one precious to him and entered a cult . ]


    [... . Shut up . ]


    [Gettan... . why never you tell us to defeat the cult together . ]


    [——– I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP !!]


    Gettan roared .


    He threw Yukime off the horse, get on top of her and squeezed her neck .


    [What do you know !? You haven''t even met Lord Mordred, how would you be able to understand my despair!! To that man… . . everyone yields in front of that man! ! It wasn''t just me, It wasn''t just mE!!]


    He was like a child desperately begging for forgiveness .


    [Get…tan... . ]


    The arm that is strangling her has tightened .


    In her fading consciousness, Tears fell from her eyes .


    [Help…John...han… . . ]


    Then a wind blow and causing the snow to dance about .


    from the night that was dyed pure white, a single man appeared .


    Snows are dancing around him and steel wires cutting through the sky .


    [—- So it was you who took my important thing away . ]


    The man wearing a black suit who hides his face behind a mask . The man who took a step toward them was...… . . John Smith .


    A man who is burning with revenge .
