Everyone present on the field turned back to see where the voice came from.
Andrew was standing alone on the edge of the entrance with his face looking injured, his left hand dropping a bit due to the blow he received from the scarred man and his leg barely managing his weight.
“He is a warrior,” he shouted again to make it a statement.
Harkey felt proud, his spine chilled, and the pain that he was enduring from the fight vanished for a moment when he heard that.
He saw his hands, the sword that he possessed, and the blood that was running out; his eyes blurred.
“I am a warrior?” he thought to himself.
He realised how much he had grown.
“Need some help, even if you said no, I would help you,” Andrew muttered.
Harkey automatically smiled without thinking, even though tears were falling.
“I need your help, Andrew,” he replied quickly.
Andrew took no time wasting, ran towards the soldiers.
“What is happening here?” The knight was confused by the events that were taking place.
The soldiers didn’t let their guard down. They were prepared to attack them.
BLOCK!
The knight blocked Andrew's way.
“To get to my men, fight me first,” he muttered.
“It’s almost impossible to defeat him with the state that I am in. What should I do, though?” Andrew questioning.
Then their fight began, but
Sound of the coin spinning in the air.
Even though the place was pure chaos, the sound of the coin felt unique; that sound struck each ear amidst the noise of other things, such as the fight and swords clashing…
Both Andrew and Harkey smiled without even looking at them, as they knew what was coming.
The soldiers and the knight turned to see it.
TAILS!!
He picked up the coin first, cleaned it as it was filled with dust, and kept it in his pocket. He picked up the sword that was lying there.
“Guess I have to use the sword then,” he muttered.
“What is he doing? Playing with a coin?” the knight whispered.
“Who is he?” he questioned.
“Coin Flipper!!” Harkey shouted, giving answers to everyone’s questions.
“Coin Flipper?” The knight didn’t laugh, but didn’t think anything either. He just stood still for a moment.
“You can bring as many as you can, but you aren’t going out of here alive,” one among the soldiers muttered.

SMASH!!
Harkey didn’t even use the sword he had. He punched his face with his bare hands.
“That’s not up to you,” he said before beating him.
“Andrew, help out Harkey. I would take care of him,” Ken said, pointing at the knight.
Andrew didn’t think twice; he went to attack the soldiers near Harkey.
“My sword skills should help me,” Ken thought while walking forward.
The knight didn’t chase Andrew as he knew who was leading there.
Ignis Kick!!
Andrew began his fight with a kick.
SLASH!!
Harkey was slashing enemies that were coming at him.
“He is fighting well, didn’t expect it?” Ken sees Harkey’s fight while walking.
The soldiers were failing rapidly.
“He is watching others fight while walking towards me, is he not worried even a bit?” the knight, astonished by Ken’s approach.
“I will show you hell, then you will understand the man you were fighting,” the knight thought, and took his sword out.
“Wait, he came here wearing a hoodie, he fought with it, who is he?” the knight thought.
Then the fight between Ken and the knight began.
On the other end,
The veteran’s fight against the scarred man entered the crucial phase.
Both of them were relentlessly fighting, and both had attacking as their strengths. The approaches were the same, just the technique differed.
IMPULSE DESCENT!!
The scarred man tried to use his move, but he couldn’t.
Swayed!!
The veteran surprisingly had quick reflexes and was escaping the attacks easily.
“Time is ticking, I should finish this soon,” Both had the same thought.
PARALLAX BURST!!
The veteran unleashed a powerful strike.
Barely Escaped!!!
The scarred man managed to sneak out with fewer blows from it.
“Veris, go and finish them quickly with our—” the scarred man began ordering, but he forgot something.
The scarred man stood there for a moment, realising what he just said.
Rheos and his men had the same reaction.
Both Anders and the veteran were confused.
The scarred man’s tears almost came out, but he managed to keep them inside somehow.
PUNCH!!!
He smashed the wall that was nearby him with his right hand, dropping the sword.
The wall broke, unable to withstand his power.
“Why is he punching the walls all of a sudden?” the veteran questioned his mind.
“I am sorry, Rheos. Go and fight them at the entrance. They should have arrived,” the scarred man ordered.
Rheos and his men arrived there when the scarred man was fighting the veteran. The scarred man ordered them not to interfere with the fight and asked them to watch. He also ordered them not to lay a hand on Anders.
From then on, Rheos and others were watching the fight.
Back to the present,
Rheos nodded and ordered others to follow the instructions of the scarred man. When he left there, his eyes couldn’t resist further with droplets falling to the ground, thinking about the cherry-loving Veris.
He didn’t show it to anyone else. His mind questioned his goals.
“What am I even fighting for?” his mind needed answers.
“Veris is like my brother, you killed him, I won’t leave here sparing you,” the scarred man said, pointing his fingers at Anders.
“Shall we end this soon?” the veteran asked.
The scarred man was furious and wanted to attack Anders immediately.
Their fight went for another 5 minutes with both of them fighting at their best.
“I am just a burden right here,” Anders thought, and tried to stand up.
WISDOM SCAR!!
This move was one of the strongest moves of the veteran back in his prime, when he was fighting for the kingdom of Veilheim.
Even the elite commanders were unable to defend against it back in his time.
Now to the present,
The attack struck past the defence of the scarred man and hit him on the chest.
The strike was so powerful that the sound of the blow broke the walls further. Everyone around the area could hear both the powerful attack and the walls splitting.
The scarred man fell, throwing his sword away.
“You can’t win a fight without balancing the emotions,” the veteran told the scarred man after the strike.
Outside the prison,
Both Andrew and Harkey were easily dealing with the soldiers, just getting hurt here and there.
The soldiers’ numbers were drastically reduced, and the knights’ fight was also impacted by it.
Ken was fighting well against the knight, not giving him any advantage.
“What is that sound? What is happening there?” Harkey was shocked, hearing it.
Everyone present there was stunned by the sounds coming from inside.
“I should help them,” Ken thought.
“I shouldn’t let them inside again,” the knight had a counter-thought.
“Eryon!!! Tell them that we need their help, come soon,” the knight shouted with all his might.
Eryon, the messenger who told the message to the king, was present among the bushes, some distance apart, and heard the words of the knight.
He took his horse, which was nearby, and began his journey to pass the message once again.
The king asked the other knight to be there at the halfway mark, as he had other work to do, and when Acheron needed help, then the other would leave his work and join him. This was the simplified plan.
The king was also coming there, but he was not nearby as he was on the eastern side of Aurelios. He passed the orders by phone and told them that he would be there at the Maxil within a few hours.
“So, there would be more of them,” Ken thought about the next few hours.
“The king might be here soon. We can’t fight him; we should leave soon,” Andrew thought after hearing the words of the knight.
The chaos level increased as many more men entered the field.
“It is his men; this might not be ending soon,” Andrew thought.
OCCULT BURST!!!
Ken knew that the time was ticking soon, so he used one of his powerful moves, and it worked.
