"Young Master, thi—this is but a misunderstanding we never meant to—" Sister Fer pleaded on her knees.
"Misunderstanding? That's funny, so Mina bleeding before is also a misunderstanding. Am I under an illusion? If so, then release me from it, and I'll calm down, because if not—"
Crack!
The ground cracked.
Standing up, everyone saw Colt's body changing. On his left arm was a black mist crawling up, and on his right was a golden light illuminating his surrounding.
"— if not, then... I will break it myself." Without any fighting experience using every card he had, Colt could not control the power at his command.
The World Devouring Mark and the Dragon Pearl would appear in response to his emotions. The swelling sensation of power, raging like a storm, was something Colt could not contain.
The weapons of the past were strong... too strong for one man to control.
If Colt fought without restraint, he knew he wouldn't be able to hold back.
But, what of it?
They were the ones attacking them.
They were the ones who started the fight.
Colt was just there to protect his own.
He didn't care about the collateral... he was no Hero.
He may act like one, but that's just out of his sense of responsibility. Colt believed that because he knew what would happen to this world, he would at least save those within his reach.
Not doing anything and letting the setting play out would lead to the death of thousands or possibly millions.
He believes that all lives weigh the same, but, despite his beliefs, Colt learned that sometimes, blood has to be shed.
He would then carry the burden of taking a life, but — he would walk forth, not hiding his mistakes.
The ones before her who hurt Mina now looked nothing more than another flickering flame meant to be blown away. Colt acted for others the best he could, but when it came to his family, almost nothing was below him.
He once barged into the domain of the Goddesses just to find Mina… now… Mina was drenched in her own blood… wounded and bruised.
The ground around him began to heat up, and the flame mana of the Cardinal Mother was showing its effect.
Colt took a step forward and slowly unsheathed the black sword.
Taking a deep breath, Colt finally ignited the mana within the World, Devouring Mark.
His entire left side was burning, his clothes quickly turning to ashes, "If none of you can tell me what's going on, then I'm going to hold every. single.one.of.you.accountable."
BOOM!
Colt moved, his sword drawn. He didn't know who did it, but he was at least sure of Helvor having done something.
Helvor lay unconscious on the floor, but Colt didn't care.
What of honor?
Colt wasn't originally from their world.
She hurt Mina.
He would claim payment for their actions tenfold.
"AEGIS!"
A shield got between Colt and Helvor.
BOOM!
An explosion echoed throughout the area,
Pel gritted her teeth; the weight of his sword was not something she expected from someone his size, "I know not who you are, but I won't let you hurt anyone here."
Colt was blown back several steps.

Colt's sword was knicked.
He was strong, but his weapon could not hold the full brunt of his sword.
Pel failed to celebrate, however, for her Aegis was scratched, 'Aegis has been around for hundreds of years… not many can even put a mark on it… he's dangerous.'
His eyes shrouded in a deep dark mist made Pel shudder, but she steeled her heart.
Pel had faced many worst enemies, and she had protected thousands from swords; Pel, the Shield of the Dracian Fate, will defend her friends here.
"Earth Smash!"
Pel raised her shield and slammed the ground.
Colt lost his balance, and Pel did not fail to seize the opportunity and smashed him with her shield, sending him flying back, creating distance between them and, more importantly, to those she wanted to protect.
Colt was flying backward, his nose bleeding. He was in pain, but he still managed to summon the World Tree's power; he channeled it and released it through his mouth.
A might blaze emerged, and what's more, it had the same intensity as the Cardinal Mother's, "Agro. I need your assistance!"
A green light glowed from her neck, and a Turtle the size of a house appeared. Like a walking forest, on the Turtle's shell were rocks and trees.
The beast was a Rock Dragon Turtle, and it was just about to stomp the ground and summon an earth wall when it saw Colt's eyes and stopped.
'Stop.' Colt's eyes ordered.
The golden glow on his arm brought immense fear to the Rock Dragon Turtle's heart, "The Dragon King?" its eyes widened.
"AGRO, what are you doing!?"
It, however, realized its folly, and against what its blood screamed, Agro went against the Dragon King.
The Rock Dragon Turtle blocked the fire with its body. Though its body was made of stone, it still felt immense pain.
The flames dissipated, and when they did, Pel saw Colt's sword was already on the path of going down to slay Agro.
"Agro! Get out of there!" Pel shouted at her friend, but the Earth Dragon Turtle did not listen.
Agro could see the anger and rage behind the Dragon King's eyes, causing it to freeze in its place.
[Incomingggggggggg!]
BAM!
Just as Colt was about to claim Argo's head, a white figure hit him on the back of his head, burying his face on the ground.
[You idiot! You're acting too dark and grim, or as you called it, edgy. Tone it down a little; you're going to cut yourself.]
Only one could ever disrespect Colt without repercussion — it was the Lord.
Everyone watched in befuddlement as a cat stood on Colt's
"Get off me... you bastard! I still haven't paid them back for what they did to Mina." Colt fought Fluff, but he could not escape.
The cat's weight was increasing faster than what strength he could muster.
He glared at Pel and the others, the World Devouring Mark swirling faster, more aggressively behind his eyes. The Dragon within roaring.
Colt clawed to get out, the ground cracking and breaking. Rocks violently tossed about as a massive force of strength destroyed its surrounding.
Pel and the others could see the anger in Colt's eyes; he was seething.
Rocks and debris were violently thrown about. Five meters around Colt were breaking, and the damage spread faster the longer he was pinned.
Everything was flung about; only the cat on his head remained unmoved. The cat raised its front paw and tapped Colt's head.
BOOM!
Once again, a powerful force buried Colt's face to the ground, [You're letting emotions cloud your judgment. The mark is affecting you, calm down first and listen to me; Mina's okay; the bird is already treating her. You're making a bad example for the kids, you fool.]
Fluff's words brought Colt back from the brink. The mark receded from his eyes and into his palm.
Colt remained there, his head on the ground, still shaking as he asked, "Thank you...."
Fluff gently tapped Colt's head, [Don't mention it.]
The Lord then felt everyone's eyes on him. He looked around and saw their weird expressions, [What? You haven't seen a cat and a human bonding before? I just saved your lives. Show some respect.]
