Gelion, Kingdom of Kalvar,

"Levi, did each and every Dragon Knight is under our territory?" inquired Leon.

"No Leader, I got the reports that the Tenth Dragon Knight named Antonio Vanguard has not yet entered in our territory," informed Levi.

"I want every last of the Dragon Knights captured. I, The First Dragon Knight and The Fifth Dragon Knight, Luke Nemein agreed for a council where all the Dragon Knights must be present," explained Leon.

"Sire, I certainly understand your concerns. In my opinion, you should contact Sir Fifth Dragon Knight and ask for his aid to capture the last Dragon Knight. Last I heard, Sir Antonio was heading to the city of Woodrow." suggested Levi.

"I think you are correct, I would send a message to Luke regarding this issue as he is in that direction too." agreed Leon.

"Now, I would take your leave. I have some errands to run," said Levi and disconnected the Video Conference.

Leon scrolled down his friend list and composed a mail to Luke Nemein regarding the issue. He requested him to find and capture the last Dragon Knight without any harm. He also sent the current location of the last Dragon Knight which was sent to him by his informer Levi. He closed the panel and stood up from his chair and walked towards the single window inside the small room. He gazed at the blue sky while looking forward to the events that were about to come forth.

Woodrow Woods, Kingdom of Kalvar

"Huh, that was close. We would have died back there." sighed Natalie.

"Yeah, that cliff started falling just as I placed my foot on it." agreed Antonio.

Antonio and Natalie were traveling for three days without staying at a place for too long. They were officially inside the neutral territory but, it wasn't a safe zone since the place was neither a city nor any other settlement. Antonio feared that they were being followed by the clan members of Raven Cleave. There was a tracker placed on the staff of Natalie which Antonio found before leaving Keldar.

It was a bright day but, both Antonio and Natalie were too tired to feel the beauty of their surroundings. Their main goal was to reach Woodrow city which was about another kilometer away from the woods. There were small monsters who weren't aggressive and would not attack anyone until they are forced to.

"I think we should lay down on these soft patches of grass and rest for a while under the shade of the trees," suggested Natalie as she patted the patch of grass beside her.

"Yeah, I too think so after our near to death experience on that cliff." agreed Antonio and laid down on the grass.

"It's so bright that I couldn't believe that this whole world is made up of codes. What do you think, Natalie?" asked Antonio.

"Yes, I also won't believe that this place is just a world made up of codes and is operated by a system," replied Natalie.

"Holiday is over guys, Time for some action." a harsh voice interrupted the conversation between Antonio and Natalie.

"Who are you and what do you want from us?" questioned Antonio as immediately stood up and turned toward the direction of the voice.

A hooded person stood in front of Antonio. He had a longsword in his muscular arms. He was covered in a black outfit from top to bottom while his face was covered by a mask. Only his dark black eyes were visible who was continuously glaring at Antonio. Antonio felt a strong aura emitting from him.

"I repeat, Majin! Who are you and why are you following us?" cried Antonio.

"The last Dragon Knight, Antonio Vanguard! I finally found you and now, you are coming with me." announced the Majin

"That's not the answer to my question. Answer now or I won't hesitate to kill you," warned Antonio as he unsheathed his Falchion from the scabbard.

"Dragon Knights don't make hasty decisions and my identity would be revealed soon but, before that, you must come with me." said the Majin in a calm tone.

"Why should I, If you are a goon sent by Hector then, I am done with talking," shouted Antonio, anger in his voice.

"Huh, so, you won't listen to me. Now, I must use force." warned the Majin and dashed towards Antonio.

"This trick won't work on me." smiled Antonio as he blocked the longsword with his Falchion.

Suddenly, the Majin vanished from the place and the climate started to change as a strong wind started brewing. In the middle of the wind, Antonio stood frozen. He dashed in an attempt to escape from the wind but as soon as he reached near the exit, He was thrown back and landed again at the same point.

"Coward! Fight like a man. I don't fight under the shadows." yelled Antonio at the top of his voice.

Suddenly, the wind stopped and in front of Antonio stood the Majin. To his surprise, Antonio found that the Majin had somehow captured Natalie who was hiding behind the tree this whole time. The Majin had placed a dagger on her neck and the tip of it was piercing her neck. The area immediately became red and her Hit Points dropped by two percent.

"Please wait! I will come with you. But, please don't hurt Natalie." pleaded Antonio as he sheathed his sword.

"Good choice, Dragon Knight Antonio. I am pleased to see that you are concerned about others." complimented the Majin and he also sheathed his dagger inside the slim scabbard at his thigh.

"I am called Luke Nemein, The fifth Dragon Knight. I am the leader of the clan called, The Illuminos. I am here on behalf of the First Dragon Knight to escort you to the council of Dragon Knights held at the city of Gelion." continued Luke while he removed his mask and hood.

Behind the mask was a person whom no one had ever seen. He had silver hair which was long and was braided in a short ponytail. His pure black iris were gazing at Antonio as his mouth was drawn into a calm smile. Antonio slowly walked forward and drew his right hand towards Luke, who immediately shook it.

"Nice to meet you, Luke Nemein. I guess you already knew me and I am positive that you are not sent by Hector. So, I am ready to go wherever you want to take me." said Antonio calmly.

"Okay but, This lady should stay here and head to the nearest city. Gelion is the stronghold of Leon, The First Dragon Knight and non-residents are not allowed," informed Luke.

"I get it. I would head straight to the Woodrow city and meet with Antonio's friends while he goes with me," said Natalie.

"Hmm, Now, it's time to leave," said Luke and blew a whistle.

"Are you calling someone?" asked Antonio.

"Just be patient and look at the sky," replied Luke

Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared in the sky which blocked the sunlight. Antonio immediately looked at the sky and saw a huge figure soaring through the skies. After some time, it landed on the ground and Antonio froze after the creature came into full view.

"Is it really, A Dragon?" exclaimed Antonio.

"Meet my mount, My partner. Travis, The Fire Dragon.
