A city divided

Erik slipped into an alley, hiding to catch his breath, and watched the action go on all around him. A smirk appeared on his face.

Armed with their brain-crystal powers, citizen groups were wreaking havoc.

The real rebellion finally started. However, if it was going to be successful, it had to be seen.

Even if the citizens fought, they were still fighting the blackguards.

Most of them had been trained, since it was mandatory to enter the military, but basically everyone who were not among Volkov's troops now had been injured in the past or were old.

That was coupled with the fact that the blackguards were many times more powerful than them, but they were even trained better, and a lot more at that.

However, there were many more people than there were blackguards. Even Volkov's soldiers couldn't do much, despite being in much greater numbers than the blackguards.
