All eyes were fixed on Colos, widened in horror at the brutality he displayed. Half of Kasib's body was consumed by him like a serpent devouring its prey.

Among them, Kamil wept bitterly, his cry echoing, "Kasib, no!"

Ramon, still reeling from his own battle with Hermeson, stared at the gruesome spectacle with tears threatening to spill.

Meanwhile, Memnon rushed toward Kasib's direction, his expression filled with concern.

Khonsu and Alfonse watched in horror, Khonsu's anger rising as he abandoned his post to protect the car, charging toward Kasib.

Menes, engaged in his own struggle against Nefer, sent a command to Kasib, the last one he might hear if he still lived.

"Kasib! Are you a warrior or not? Rise even from death! Do not let the blood and name of Rahekhet go in vain! Rise!"

Kasib's grip on his sword tightened, a sudden change noted by Colos, who was perplexed. Before he could react, a sword pierced through Colos's body, eliciting a scream of agony that seemed to echo from the depths of the ocean.

As the sword cut through him, Colos fell to the ground, his body beginning to evaporate. With his remaining strength, he questioned, "You, human... What have you done?"

Victoriously, Kasib rose from the ground, his sword raised toward Menes and Nefer. "I, son of Rahekhet, cannot be defeated by something that isn't human. Anyone or anything in my way will face my rage! I will become a true warrior!" he declared, rallying his soldiers with newfound resolve, much like Ramon had done before him.

Amra commanded her soldiers to attack Kasib, aiming to prevent him from boosting the morale of the Royal Army troops.

The soldiers charged toward Kasib with the intent to kill him.

Despite his injuries from the fight with Colos, Kasib braced himself, knowing that if he fell, it would dampen the soldiers' spirits. "I can't take them all on, but if I go down, their morale will suffer," he thought, preparing to face the onslaught.

Before the soldiers could reach him, his two comrades, Khonsu and Memnon, appeared behind him. They patted Kasib's back reassuringly, signalling him to rest for the moment.

As Khonsu and Memnon took their positions, the attacking soldiers hesitated. "Bring it on! Let us show you what the Royal Guards of the Royal Army can do," Khonsu declared, his tone serious.

Memnon, with a mischievous grin, activated his past contemplation ability. "If you seek revenge, let me reignite that fire in your empty skulls," he taunted.

Khonsu added, "You've brought great shock to our people. Isn't it time you experienced a shock yourselves?"

Laughing, Memnon teased, "This was about to be a chilling moment, and you had to ruin it with your dead jokes!"

"It's not a dead joke; it's a quote," Khonsu retorted.

"Whatever," Memnon replied, shaking his head.

As they talked to each other, a brave soldier attempted to attack, but Memnon swiftly shot a blue arrow toward his head, triggering his most haunting memories. Meanwhile, another soldier aimed for Khonsu, only to be met with a thousand volts of electricity, briefly revealing his skeletal structure before he collapsed.

"Thank you, guys," Kasib said gratefully, relieved to have such support.

With smiles on their faces, Khonsu and Memnon pressed forward, engaging in combat with the soldiers who dared to attack.

Amara Kadesh seethed with anger as her patience wore thin. Menes locked eyes with Nefer and issued a challenge, "Come at me yourself, Nefer." As the puppet soldier lunged at Menes, he effortlessly sidestepped and delivered a powerful kick, sending the soldier crashing into nearby Nebu troops. With a smirk, Menes continued, "If you don't, then I guess..."

In the blink of an eye, Menes vanished and reappeared in front of Nefer, his fist poised to strike with fluid motion "I'll come to you".

Amara Kadesh could only watch in awe as Menes's blow landed square on Nefer's stomach, shattering his armour and sending him hurtling backward into a nearby hill. Frozen in shock, she observed as Menes stood beside her, his body partially cloaked by swirling sand kicked up by his speed, yet his piercing eyes still visible.

Reacting swiftly, Amara attempted to summon a Dark Shield, but she was too slow. Menes's punch shattered her shield, the force of his blow sending her tumbling backward. Fortunately, her quick reflexes allowed her to erect a Circular Shield, enveloping her body in dark energy and shielding her from further harm.

Pyrion, the Dragon Beast, the only beast out of the 3 that remained, breathed down hell on the Royal Army soldiers with his fire. However, for a brief moment, he halted his assault and looked into the distant horizon, his face turning worrisome as if he detected an aura that scared him.

Nefer emerged from the rubble and raised his arms. "That's it. You're dead! OH SOLDIERS! I, KING NEFER, COMMAND YOU ALL TO ATTACK MENES!"

All the soldiers of the Nebu suddenly turned their gazes towards Menes and ran towards him, disengaging in all other combat. Khonsu and Memnon were pushed from behind as the soldiers rushed towards Menes.

Menes stood, looking up at the sky. He took a deep breath. "I can feel it. I guess I can leave it up to the two of them now."

He spread his hands, activating "Absolute Shield."

The soldiers who attacked all came to a halt as they collided with Menes's shield, unable to penetrate it.

Pyrion, his face still glued in the same direction, descended to the floor.

Memnon smiled. "Huh, didn't know he would be here. Damm, I guess victory is ours, isn't it?"

Khonsu commented, "You're right."

Ramon, who was now close to the two, shouted, "Hey, what's going on?" Kamil chimed in from across the battlefield as it went silent. He, too, curiously shouted, "I don't know; they all stopped."

The puppet soldiers, which Nefer controlled, froze as they, too, looked in the same direction as Pyrion.

“Memnon, Khonsu, at least explain to us”, urged Alfonse as he rushed to the group. Kasib, breathing heavily, also joined. "This feeling..."

Memnon replied, "Yes, this feeling. It's him. Henu Safir, the 2nd Commander of the Royal Army of Thebes."

Nefer, confused about the reason why the puppets were frozen, all looking in one direction, commanded again, "You bastards, move! At least do some damage to his shield!" However, his soldiers dared not move a muscle as they all looked east. The sun reached its peak in the distance, the soldiers saw something that looked like an oasis, an ocean dancing.

However, the illusion was soon broken as from the mirage, the fake oasis emerged a man wearing white walking slowly towards the battlefield. Behind him was a small group of horsemen.

Amara Kadesh deactivated her shield and squinted her eyes, trying to make out the man's face. Traumatically, when she realized who it was, her face became dull, her mouth open, eyes widened, while Nefer mumbled, "If it's who I think it is, then it's all over, isn't it?" He spoke in sadness.

Amara replied, "Maybe, but we won't give up. This is our only chance." She held tightly to her sword.

As Henu Safir halted, he shouted to Menes, "Menessss!!!! Long time no see. I guess I have to protect you again." He laughed loudly, almost mocking Menes's strength.

Menes, deactivating his shield, jokingly said, "Well, I'll see how much help you need when soldiers attack you and you aren't trying to kill them. That's not your specialty, right? You cannot spare a life."

Amidst the conversation of the two commanders, Pyrion, commanded by Amara Kadesh to attack Henu, went flying to the ground to get a good punch.

"Damn, it's him, Yune the Royal Guard," spoke Nefer, irritated.

The Nebu soldiers murmured in the background, "There are two royal guards with him. Look, it's the second Royal Guard, Noya, and Yune, the first Royal Guard."

Noya, the second Royal Guard, had black hair with noir eyes. His hair was tied back, and he held a long samurai sword. He was adorned in silver armour, the two long strands of his hair swaying as he looked onwards.

Yune, a young man in his mid-20s, was the first and strongest Royal Guard. He had sharp brown eyes and brown hair, with an intense and strong physique. He held onto his bow, with his arrows neatly tucked away behind him in his quiver.

Kasib looked at Yune, and the surroundings around him disappeared. He spoke, "So this is one of the strongest Royal Guards. Am I even a match?"

Memnon shouted, "Noya! Yuneee!!" across the battlefield.

Noya waved back like a little child, smiling, while Yune looked away towards Noya and mumbled, "Aww, this is so awkward." He made an embarrassed and annoyed face.

As Pyrion flew by, nothing about Henu seemed to change. He was still standing tall, looking towards Menes.

However, to all the soldiers, they saw a spectacle: the arm of the third Beast, Pyrion, was stuck on Henu Safir's shoulder. The sheer force and speed of Pyrion's attack didn't even shake Henu Safir.

Henu lifted his left hand and grabbed the broken limb of Pyrion. He looked at it with his eyes, a deep blue like the ocean, and said, "Birdie, you left something behind."

Looking to his right, he said, "YUNE, take care of our flying friend. I can't be bothered to aim for the sky."

Yune, garbed in purple Armour with deep black grooves in it, lifted his arrow and pointed it to his right, firing it in the wrong direction. The soldiers of the Nebu laughed. "He can't even fire an arrow. Stupid."

Yune shouted, "Teleport!" A purple wormhole the size of a hand appeared, teleporting the arrow multiple times, increasing its speed and velocity. Then the arrow struck Pyrion on his head, killing the beast while he was flying, his brain splattering all over the sand as he fell to the ground, slowly becoming lifeless.

Back to Jack and Khafra's fight, it was away from the battlefield, thus they didn't notice Henu Safir's entrance or the killing of the three beasts.

Khafra sat on the ground, breathing heavily as he threw Jack's lifeless body a few meters away in front of him.

Taking a deep breath, he mumbled to himself, "Huh, I got lucky that I turned off my senses, or else I would have lost."

He got back up, using his sword as support. "Might as well finish him off before he becomes trouble. Can't leave any of the Royal Army's people alive—they always find a way to get us back."

He dragged the sword across the sand, leaving behind a trail, halting as he closed in on Jack's body.

Khafra lifted his sword slowly.

The background fades white as only Khafra's and Jack's bodies become visible. Khafra activates his senses to the max.

"Time to die, Nomad," he whispers...

Swooooooooosh...

Khafra's eyes widen, his body unable to attack. Sweat appears on his forehead. GULP*

Jack's body disappears as a being stands right beside Khafra and whispers into his ear, "I don't think so."
