“I really wish I could be searching for those damn weapons instead of running from one of these temples to another,” grumbled Isamu.
“Well, at least they're easy enemies,” commented one of the Voidal Cultists.
“There's no glory in it,” groaned Isamu, “Killing enemies who won't even put up a fight. Speaking of which, why is your group taking so long to come out of that temple?”
“They're having too much fun?” suggested the cultist, “But look, here comes a messenger now.*
Isamu frowned at seeing the messenger, something was clearly amiss; he wasn't smiling smugly and walking with a proud stride as he walked from the Pagkosmios temple, as the cultists had done in the past. Rather, he was running and a look of terror was on his face.
“My lord!” he shouted as he ran.
“Yes?” asked Isamu.
“Ambush, sir!” replied the terrified cultist.
“Ambush?!” exclaimed the cultist standing next to Isamu, “By whom?”
The other cultist didn't get a chance to reply, although, the question was nonetheless answered. A young, bespectacled man wearing a white suit and a red vest sped out of the temple, and with incredible speed, sent a hard kick into the cultist's shoulder. At the moment the kick connected, there was a loud crack, and the cultist's arm fell limp, the rest of the cultist collapsed, but was apparently still breathing.
“Ah, so there were more of you out here,” commented the young man, adjusting his spectacles, “I am going to suggest you leave, at least, if you value your health. And tell Zaros to keep his troops away from our temples.”
“As if he would take orders from someone as pathetic as you,” replied Isamu, drawing his sword and grinning. It finally looked like he was going to be able to get into a real fight.
“You sure you want to fight me?” asked the young man.
“Here's my answer!” shouted Isamu, dashing toward his opponent.
The young man sighed and dodged Isamu's first slash, and then... everything went black for Isamu.
"He appears in the Form of a Man with many Countenances; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the Secret Counsel of any one."
