Lucien and Grayne suddenly stop, because of the voice they heard behind them.
The man who just told them to stopped, was also a Knight but different from Knight Grayne. The knight was also wearing a silver armor but in the middle of the armor it has Symbol of a black rose wrapped in silver thorns, pierced by a serpent-fanged dagger.
And along side him was Four Knights they wear wearing the same armor with same Symbols.
"Young Master, they are from Veridane Household!" Grayne said and added "They are also the one who's responsible for this ruined castle of your Family, Young Master".
Lucien just looked at them with cold and calm expression as if he wasn't bothered at all.
"uhm?" The Knight from Veridane Family looked at lucien while narrowing his eyes and then was shocked after he recognized who he is"You!!.. H..how are you arlive?! i already stab you so many times! h...how are you still alive?!" The Knight said in disbelief.
"looks like dying wasn't enough to stop me" Lucien reply while looking at them with calm expression.
"i guess, but don't worry I'll make sure to kill you this time kid" The Knight said to lucien while smirking.
"Young Master..." Grayne said while looking at Lucien then he added "you can go first young master, I'll buy you sometime so you can escape young master!" Grayne looking at lucien while smiling, as if he was very proud to sacrifice himself for the safety of his master.
Lucien looked at him, and remember something back on earth.
(AN: lucien and ren soul become one, the pain that he experienced earlier was the process of their soul becoming one:>)
"Wow...what a drama" The knight leader said while mocking them and laughing "how will you be able to protect your master? if your mana was only at 'Knight Adept', and the one you will fought was Four 'Knight Adept' and one 'Knight Disciple'?" the knight leader said while smiling and mocking him.

"i know that i cannot win against you Five but i know! but i know i can takedown atleast Two in your group" Grayne said while smirking like he is confident.
But for a few seconds the entire hallway was become quiet and then a voice was heard behind grayne.
"Grayne" Lucien said in a calm voice and grayne looked at lucien "Give me your sword and step back" Lucien said in a cold and commanding voice.
Grayne after hearing those words, cannot control his own body as if his was being controlled and cannot do anything, all he can do is give his sword to lucien, which his body automatically give the sword to lucien.
Lucien who was holding a sword, start swinging it as if he was already a master of sword, and starting to feel again what he felt when he first held a real sword when he was a kid.
On the otherhand when The Knight Leader saw Lucien swing the sword, the first thing his instinct tells him was to run for his life. As if the lucien infront of him was a different person, it's like he eminates the aura of Supreme Being that he never experienced to other HighRanker in Western Frontiers.

But the knight leader didn't back down and said "This is the end for the Two of you!!" and then he ordered his men to attack.
Lucien on the other hand just watch them rush towards him, because infront of his eyes they were moving in slow motion.
When one of the knight that rush to him swings his sword. Lucien just dodge him easily as if he knows where the sword will land. And when the other three knights that rush to him swings their sword towards him, all he do was dodge it smoothly. After the first attack of the Four Knight all they did was keep slashing him and stab him. But for lucien all he did was dodge every attack they do.
The Knight Leader who was watching the fight, can't believe his eyes. He was watching lucien dodge every attack of the Four Knights 'How can he dodge those attack smoothly! And just by looking at his face, it's like he was bored or something...' his thoughts on what he was witnessing.
Grayne on the otherhand was in shocked of what he was seeing 'i...is this the useless young master we know?!! Was he hiding his skill this whole time?!' his thoughts and question in his mind because he was flabbergasted 'how can he avoid those slashes?! Even though they are only at 'Adept Stage' those attack still carries a little bit of aura. Does young master already know how to manipulate aura?! Is he at the stage of 'Aura Initiate' or higher rank?!" Grayne, who was still in shock after what he saw. A lot of questions flooded inside his mind about his master.

Lucien stepped back, calm and untouched, while the four knights finally halted, and was drained from their endless slashes.
"The warm-up's over. Step out now, or stay hidden" Lucien said in cold and commanding voice, telling their leader to step forward.
On the otherhand. Their leader, who was in schocked watching lucien fight his four knight, suddenly rush towards him. Because of anger of being mocked.
But as he was about to slash lucien. But lucien dodge the attack easily, as if it was an attack of little child.
"Is that your strongest attack?" Lucien smiled at their leader, like he was mocking him.
After a few minutes of a non-stopped attack of their leader. Lucien stepped back again, calm and untouched, and then he smiled and said in calm voice "Are you already tired?"
The leader who was angry for being mock, unleashed his full aura in his sword, like he was giving his everything in single attack to end him.
"Young master!! Avoid him! He was at the peak of 'Aura Initiate'! His attack is very dangerous" Grayne, who saw what the guy was doing, shout and warned lucien.
But grayne warned him too late because, the knight leader already unleashed his full attack.
Lucien, who was looking at the knight leader while unleashing his full power, just watch the attack come closer to him and let it hit him.
As the attack was unleashed, every thing in it's way will surely obliterated. As the attack hits it's target, a big smoke was made.
