Soon enough letting the plants grow one of the members of the Garou Knights soon pops up in a plant-like fashion shown by this Executioner named Cosmos and Plant Magic Caster.
Cosmos is a member of the Garou Knights, the most powerful executioners of the Kingdom of Fiore.
Cosmos has long and rather messy violet hair and dark eyes. She has an ample bust and a curvaceous figure. Cosmos wears a big puffy cap on her head that is designed with a dark strip at the front with six light dots presenting a 'V' pattern and a matching brim that covers her eyes. On the left side of her head, she keeps a rose in her hair.
Cosmos wears a long strapless coat with petal-like edges on the tails. Her coat is also adorned with dots running across the edges and is tied with a ribbon-like belt. Her chest is barely seen revealing much of her cleavage where a dark top can be seen, and underneath is a ruffled mini skirt. She also seems to be wearing arm sleeves and long boots that reaches to her calves, also adorned with dots and petal-like edges. A flower bracelet can be seen on her right wrist.
*Vwoossh*
*Vweeeen*
Suddenly stacks of paper origami soon appeared out of nowhere revealing one of the other Garou Knights Kamika as she graces herself as a member of the Garou Knights, the most powerful executioners of the Kingdom of Fiore and Paper Blizzard Magic Caster.
Kamika is a relatively tall and thin woman with a light complexion. Her long, dark brown hair is tied back into two distinct sections; the first being two thin strands that are plaited and looped around to form hoops that sit on either side of her neck, whilst the rest and tied back with bows into two pigtails that flow in thick locks around Kamika's body, where they stop just above the ground, the ends curling. Kamika's fringe is left out, allowing her long bangs to fall over her face and into her eyes, save for a single strand that curls upwards away from her head.
Kamika's chosen attire is a simple sleeveless black dress that wraps around her body as a robe. The front is left open, allowing Kamika's legs to be in full sight, whilst the back is much longer, being tailored to fall into two points. The edge of the cloth is patterned with squares, and the entire outfit is kept around Kamika through the use of a thick cloth belt which is tied just below her breasts and into a huge bow that sits at her back. On her feet, Kamika sports a pair of plain platform sandals.
"Tai!"
*Woosh*
Suddenly Rou finds himself lifted by the sudden decrease of gravity being pushed back but managed to get himself afloat eyeing the man doing the Magic effect.
The man is Uosuke a member of the Garou Knights, the most powerful executioners of the Kingdom of Fiore and user of the Terrain Effect Magic.
Uosuke is a man of average height with a highly distinctive appearance. His massive, mildly squared head is almost completely bald, bearing only a long, wild, and spiky mane of dark hair on top of it, reaching down to his middle back; each of his large, perennially wide-open round dark eyes bears six prominent eyelashes, three above and three below it, and he possesses thick lips which are almost always kept in a smile.
Uosuke sports an extremely muscular torso, with well-built and defined abdominals, which in its upper left part is adorned by a series of small, dark fan-shaped tattoos, vaguely reminiscent of fish scales. He also has oversized hands and forearms, much bigger than both his biceps and his head. His feet, curiously enough, are shown to end in only two massive, mildly pointed toes each.
*Clank*
Standing on the ground again landing on two of his legs Rou comments of the group attacking him with his voice disguised, "To think I would be welcomed by the Garou Knights. I don't know to be honored or unlucky encountering you, executioners."
Listening to his voice the group frowned being called out like that as the leader came forward with his eyes sharper talking to Rou, "And you know too much to be an ordinary intruder stranger coming underground. Either you are brave or overconfidently stupid. Those that come here don't usually come by mistake unless to be executed…"
The leader is named Kama leader of the Garou Knights, the most powerful executioners of the Kingdom of Fiore an expert scythe specialist with his Double Scythes both identical scythes with peculiar hand-like extensions from the opposite side of the blade each with Nullification Magic to nullify Magic Casters.
Kama is an average-sized man wearing a metal mask that covers his entire lower face with a protruding horn at the chin area. As a knight, he wears an armor completed with metal gloves that have pointed horns located at each of the elbows. Below, he wears dark pants and black striped boots which are covered by four pieces of cloth decorated with Fiore's symbol which is being held by a black sash. On top of that, he dons a black hooded cape.
Rou seeing the Garou Knights Kama then began to respond using their authority to try and execute the intruder, "By the special authority granted the Garou Knights, an independent squad of Fiore… we will now execute you lawbreaker."
Rou on the other hand smirked underneath his armor replying to them ahead thanking them for making his job easier, "Then you guys just made my job a whole lot easier. One would guess you people came through the exit of the Castle to enter the Underground. Breaking into it is going to be a lot easier than I thought."
Kama glared at Rou's remark already assuming him a criminal under his disguise crossing his arms menacingly at him, "You do not fear the Garou Knights? You are an arrogant criminal! I will return you to the soil of Fiore!"
Twirling in her hand a piece of paper Kamika responded to Cosmos to get ready, "Time to go Cosmos."
Cosmos replied activating her Magic Power to use Plant Magic responding to her ally, "Kamika's and my beautiful dance for one bad boy… right?"
"Paper Blizzard: Red Dance!!!"
*Wooosh*
Kamika slips a red paper into her index and middle fingers and then releases it into the wind as she blows it, creating a wave of red-colored papers towards the target. She refers it to be the God of Flames, being unable to be affected by the fire.
Rou seeing this having no time for the cliché anime fights with them with a deadpan expression inside his armor face, "Yeah… no. Dispel."
*Poof*
Like that, her magic ended as it began falling down like normal paper but not before long a plant suddenly sprang up with teeth entrapping him.
*CHOMP*
Cosmos laughs at this seeing how easy it was seemingly 'defeating' Rou's end, "An ugly dancing doll… this is a corpse flower that blooms of blood –"
*BOOOM*
Suddenly the plant that was trapped inside exploded revealing to be Rou completely fine dusting off the remains of the plant, "Again? Seriously what's with plants wanting to kill me? I'm a plant lover why do they suddenly want to kill me? Wait… yeah Wood Dragon."
"PAAAAAN!!!"
*SPLASH*
Seeing Acid aiming at him Rou along with his armor both made a deadpan expression in a bored tone that follows, "Really? Acid? Don't you know how dangerous it is?"
Pointing his hand towards the incoming Acid Rou used Lyra Alchemy dub Air Alchemy condensing the water vapor and condense the air to produce a liquid state to reduce the volume and then vaporize it producing a powerful shockwave as the light came from the heat generated by the force compression need to obtain entropy.
*BOOOM*
"Ah!"
Suddenly thrown back by the powerful shockwave throwing Neppa away from the fight as Kamika rushed ahead with her magic.
"Paper Blizzard: Violet Dance!!!!"
Kamika releases enormous amounts of violet-colored papers that attach themselves to the target's body, rendering the target immobile. She refers it as the God of Binding.
Landing on Rou's armor he remained immobilized seemingly stuck actually admiring her Magic commenting on it, "Interesting? I don't mind if I actually use your Paper Blizzard Magic for myself."
"Grrrr…"
Listening to the growling sounds with Rou's body still immobilize as Cosmos followed up her next attack, "This will be a pretty liaison. Grow Flow!!!! Eat that intruder!"
"GRRR…!"
Grow Flow is when Cosmos summons an enormous flower above the targets. The flower then sucks everything into the hole in the middle of it.
*WOOOSH*
Sucking in anything inside the hole in the middle Rou suddenly began to get lifted and then swallowed entirely inside.
"Gulp…"
Cosmos smiles at this seeing how Rou was 'killed' by her summoning mentioning her win, "And here I thought the intruder would be a problem. I bet he will be –"
*Zzzzzz*
Red sparks of alchemic energy erupted to life as the plant began to transmute into a mechanical Golem a black humanoid figure erupts from its place surprising Cosmos with Rou standing by its side making a snide comment, "Oh wow… you thought the first would succeed and failed only to have the second work oh wait… that failed too. Now how about you take care of my summoning."
*THUD*
Moving forward the Golem began to move forward towards the Garou Knights with Kama grabbing both his weapons and issuing a command, "Go! We have to stop this intruder!! We have to stop this intruder here and now!!"
"Yes sir!"
The remaining standing Garou Knights began to get their second wind standing up against Rou's Golem as he kept his eyes on Uosuke thinking to himself, 'If I remember correctly that guy has Territorial Magic. Could be handy but first take care of the rest.'

*THUD*
"What?"
Hisui trembled slightly holding on to herself feeling concerned and confused about the castle rumbling, "What?! Why did the castle suddenly rumble underneath the floor? Is there something going on?!!"
"Princess Hisui!! Are you safe!!!"
Suddenly rushing out into her room Hisui was surprised to see her trusted Rune Knight enter inside, "Arcadios!! What's the situation happening!"
Arcadios is a tall, muscular, and well-built man, seen to be wearing full plate armor of the Cherry Blossom Holy Knight Squadron. He has deep-set eyes and high cheekbones, with a small scar running from his left temple to the edge of his thick eyebrows. He also has a snub, square-shaped nose. His hair is dark and wavy, sticking up around his head, with prominent sideburns that join into a curved and pointed beard.
Arcadios sees the princess safe as Rune Knights soon rush inside with protection giving her the news immediately, "Princess we have an intruder under the castle!! We are under orders by his majesty to protect you till the intruder is dealt with!!"
Worried she nodded and followed Arcadios concerns as he clenches his fist in worry about the situation going on, 'Damn it!! Just when things are getting back to normal something like this pops up out of nowhere!! The Garou Knights gave us the report of the intruder. We can only hope they can stall the man long enough before reinforcements appear underground…'
Arcadios grips his weapon tightly as he bowed to his princess as more Rune Knights appear taking his leave, "I apologize my Princess, but the group arrived to take care of you. I'll take my leave to deal with the intruder."
*Shiii*
Suddenly his sword changed thin blade with a curved hilt as Arcadios called out it's name activating the sword's many transformations, "Silfarion!"
*WOOOSH*
Using his weapon passed down from the Guard Captain of the Royal Knights for Generations to defend his Kingdom and the Royal Family was the blade called the Ten Commandments the very weapon that Rou created for the Royal Family at the past King's request.
Leaving in blinding speed Arcadios left to help deal with the intruder personally as fast as he could.
