90 Ch. 90 'The Appearance of The Two Knights'

How did this happen? And how could no one notice the changing location?

"How could it be? Where are your neighbor's houses?" not only Izzy was baffled, but Richard himself had no clue regarding this situation.

Two other houses should flank their house's position, but now there are no houses on either side. In fact, there is no construction other than the building of his own home!

"I... I have no idea." Richard was dumbstruck, not knowing what had happened. He glanced around, realizing something with wide eyes.

"This ..." he looked around with open-mouth to confirm his suspiciousness. "This is not the exact area we lived in."

"That means someone displaced this house. But I feel nothing," remarked Hokuto as confused as other.

Kazuto ran back into Niken's room. He hoped the girl was still there. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Niken still sleeping there soundly.

"Is Niken okay?" Richard asked in a shallow voice.

Kazuto nodded his head, then with Richard came out of there to meet the others who were finding out who had moved their house.

"I have formed a water barrier around this house. I will know right away in case someone is trying to attack us," announced Shin Ha.

"Looks like we have to stay here for now."

The others agreed to Hokuto's proposal and decided to stay over. They did not know what kind of opponents they were facing, but they had confidence as long as they were together.

Kazuto and Shin Ha were standing guard outside. Even though Kazuto used to live and hunt in the forest, he could not let his guard down. The wood in front of him today was not the forest he knew. So he summoned four of his black wolves and stood by in every corner around the house.

"Looks like there isn't anyone suspicious around here?" Shin Ha opened his voice first.

"For the time being, yes. Even so, we can't let our guard down."

"I know. But who do you think can do all this?"

"I've been wondering the same thing. One thing I know for sure the one who is eyeing Niken is not an easy opponent. If Niken's energy didn't fuse with mine on time, that person would have taken Niken away."

"You're right. Who was that creepy man earlier?" remembering the story from Kazuto earlier, there was someone who could move freely in Niken's time zone. "All this time, I thought we could live peacefully and enjoy our free life. There is no war like ancient times. But it seems like it's just my wish."

Kazuto sighed. "I doubt we could win against them if we don't have proper training."

"Is that why you sent them into Niken's room?"

"Not me. Hokuto told them to. He knew Scarlet had never fought with killing intent. As for Izzy and Yuki, they both didn't want to be involved with the fight. So we agreed not to let the girls…" Shin Ha stopped his words when he heard a faint sound.

A growl escaped from Kazuto's wolves, but they couldn't find anyone, so they remained alert in their place.

Shush!

Kazuto and Shin Ha took out their weapons when something similar to a mud came from the ground. It shot up making the appearance of a human form.

The flowing energy, this vibe of the elemental user… it looked like the person was…

"Elementalist knight?" groaned Kazuto in frustration.

Just a moment ago, they ended their fight against the white knight, but now they had to face another Elementalist knight.

"This vibe of flowing energy… doesn't it belong to earth Elementalist?" guessed Shin Ha got nothing from Kazuto as his response.

After the mud completely formed as human, the sound of 'crack' was the only one sounding in this tense and eerie silence atmosphere. Not long after the solid human form broke apart, an orange-haired man emerged from inside.

As expected, the man was the Elementalist knight – The Knight of the Desert.

The person opened his eyes to look at Kazuto and Shin Ha with a probing gaze.

Feeling threatened, the two young Elementalist knights put on their stances to defend. They heightened their alertness and gathered their elemental energy to counter the opponent's attack.

The man smirked, watching the two young knights got wary of him.

"I told you, they are not kids as you said."

"You know very well that was not what I meant." said another person who came out from behind the first person earlier.

Shin Ha and Kazuto astound as they could feel nothing toward the second new comer's presence. How could the man hide his presence so flawlessly? They were more overwhelmed when they recognize the second one was the green knight! He was the Knight of Flora!

Shin Ha and Kazuto looked at each other then glanced back at the two unfamiliar knights. Even though they knew that the two strangers were the Elementalist Knight, they still did not lower their vigilance. 

"Can you put your weapons back? We did not come against you. Besides, I am a person who loves peace. I don't like to fight." assured the green-haired man.

If only the two men had come before their fight with the white knight, they would trust him. For the time being, they couldn't let their guard down and let the two Elementalist knights approached Niken.

"We want to meet your fellow friend, the red knight, if you please. I'm sure he will understand our purpose in coming here."

He? The Green Knight didn't know that the Red Knight was a she?

Why were they looking for a person they didn't know?

So suspicious!
