"Lord Barbatos, the reports say that those two criminals were spotted in Frescoes Town and were able to kill even more troops; what should we do?" A messenger guard tells the bad news to his master, who doesn't look so happy. His face shows pure and outer rage at the sound of his army's incompetence.

"What the fuck do you all think needs to be done!? FUCKING USELESS YOU ARE!" Barbatos, the cruel and unyielding Emperor who rules with an iron fist, takes no defeats well and always requires to take it out on someone else. In this case, the messenger must die in his eyes, so he does just that.

{Finger snap}

"Let it be clear to everyone that I will not accept failure from anyone I send to this mission! Those two must be stopped and brought here! DEATH OR ALIVE!" Emperor Barbatos exclaims while the headless body of the messenger guard falls over to the side with smoke coming out of its neck.

The move was so fast and strong that the head of the guard didn't even have a reaction of fear or pain. Still, the Emperor didn't think killing him was enough as he slowly but surely stomped on the man's head with his left foot, frightening even his personal bodyguards who questioned their jobs for once.

Why would the Emperor even need bodyguards!? Isn't he the strongest being alive in his empire!? There was no time to answer the question as more legions of imperial soldiers prepared to depart while messenger troops carried messages to close all the borders at once. Would Buster and his companions be able to escape the Emperor?
