When Yukime opened her eyes, she was on top of a horse .Riding behind her is Gettan, restraining her .
The place that she was pierced still hurts but the blood has already stopped .
Beast-kin have strong life force, her wound is not so fatal that it will take her life right away .
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 . ]

[Gettan... . ]
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 .
