The General extended its hand.
"Choose."
The Holy Order arrived behind them.
Blades raised.
Silver Eyes tightened her grip.
Kaito closed his eyes.
Then—
He attacked the General.
Shadow met shadow.
The sky trembled.
"I won't serve anyone," he shouted.
"Not humans."
"Not monsters."
The eclipse pulsed violently.
Far above—
Something ancient opened its eyes.
And it was watching him.
