—Present Time, at the The Saints's Castle hall—
Kael and others finally knew what is the true between Issac, Willy, and Noel.
"After that, while working for Guild I created The Saints as their leader to spread righteousness throughout the world. I hide myself from guild because now guild is not the same as before." said Issac.
"Even guild is trying to pretend that they are righteous by spreading kindness. It means guild is corrupted now. Maybe I shouldn't have trusted guild." continued Issac as he sighed.
Kael listened to him carefully.
Willy and Noel couldn't help but see the dark side of Issac. They finally remembered who is Issac.
"Michael was caught by those fourteen members of guild, so he got himself in trouble to the point where he had no choice but to kill more. So my original plan was to execute him myself but he was being evasive from me so it got difficult." said Issac.
"Then I heard you people talking about how you all suspected me. So I deliberately acted to help you all while also trying to find Michael. This way, you trusted me blindly haha. Then I faked my kidnapping scene by The Saints's members and leaving the letter you got." continued Issac, with a smirk.
After revealing it, Willy and Noel were shocked as well as other injured guild members.
"So it was you all along...." said Willy.
"However, I don't hold any grudge on you Issac. You will still be punished for your actions by guild. You may not care but I will not give up on guild, on humanity. You didn't give up as well but you are beyond help now." said Willy, preparing to attack.
"Oh? I thought you both would change Willy and Noel. But I guess it's not worth it anymore. But it's interesting how you managed to find me despite I tried to hide myself." said Issac.
Other members were injured by the cold breathe.
Which is why there were only three guild members.
C- Ranked Kael Ardyn, S-Ranked Willy, and S-Ranked Noel.
"I will spread true righteousness, anyone who dare to interrupt shall be destroyed." said Issac, closing the distance.
Issac went after Kael first to knock him out with straight punch, enhanced by magical energy.
Kael stopped that attack with his left hand. Kael pushed back Issac with his palm. He then performed three sixty tornado kick to attack Issac's head.
However Issac grabbed Kael's legs and threw him far.
Issac used cold breathe. Kael got hit by the attack as a result.
Issac noticed his own body getting slashed before he threw Kael.
Issac saw Noel with katana. He smirked as he realised that Noel must have dealt some attacks during that time.
Noel delivered a shadow cut. An attack to surpass the speed of almost any individual while cutting down the enemy seventeen multiple times quickly.
However Issac was seen guarding himself with ice barrier. The barrier was broken but Issac was safe.
"That's scary technique you have got Noel." said Issac.
Issac suddenly launched cross slash with ice blade weapon.
Noel easily redirected all attacks with her katana, leading to no damage on her.
"As excepted from S- Ranked." said Issac.
"Willy, he is in a bad position now. Now attack!" exclaimed Noel.
Willy had released massive amount of magical energy to boost his tsunami which took some time. That is why Kael and Noel were participating in battle first so Willy can use that time.
"Interesting, using that enough time." said Issac.
Issac used cold breathe with massive amount of magical energy to boost, freezing tsunami completely and shut it down.
Then Issac slashed those frozen ice, creating multiple sharp frozen shards.
Issac struck those sharp ice shards with his boosted frozen knuckles.
Noel slashed through those shards to protect Willy.
Issac trapped Noel with his frozen spell. Noel's feet were frozen in ice, making her unable to move
Since Willy was exhausted, he couldn't help Noel anymore.
With that advantage, Issac moved in quickly to slash Noel.
However Noel used her refined skills to carefully cut the ice without injuring her feet and countered immediately with a massive amount of magical energy put into the vertical slash.
Issac got injured by it.
Issac tried to use cold breathe at close on Noel but Kael immediately took the correct timing to strike.
Issac was struck by a heavy uppercut. Issac was sent upwards in mid air with that huge impact.
"Arhh! This can't be!" exclaimed Issac, unable to do anything on time.
Willy used this opportunity to strike again with normal tsunami but it was still enough to not drain much energy while dealing heavy damage.
Kael had already knew that Willy was strong even if he never used full power. Willy only needed a right timing which he successfully did this time.
"Thanks for sending him upwards Kael with your uppercut punch." said Willy...
Kael nodded as he looked at Issac.
Issac stood up again.
"This is not the end fools....This is only the beginning!" exclaimed Issac as he brought out the Runic Stone.
"With this stone, I can prove the world that true righteousness always exist!" exclaimed Issac, utilising the Runic Stone.
The Runic Stone granted tremendous amount of power to Issac.
"Yes....this is it....I can feel the power flowing through my veins!" exclaimed Issac with pleasure.
"I sense something off from that stone. It's that same Runic Stone The Saints were trying to find." said Noel, unable to bear the terrifying power emitted from the stone.
"No wonder other six deadly organizations also seek this stone scattered around the world." said Issac.
"Scattered? Other organizations are truly planning to that after all?" said Willy.
"We must stop him first...Be careful Kael and Willy." said Noel, putting up her guard on.
