He point his dagger at the empress throat. The empress spins the chain of the sickle and tied Ayden's body causing him to fall down. The empress throw another chained sickle at him but Ayden spins causing fire burning the mid-projecting leaf sickle. Ayden watches his surrounding. He look from tree to tree. He pulled the empress and tied her in her own chain and Ayden jump from branches to branches to hang her.

Suddenly the ground started shaking and cracking. The ground tries to swallow the empress but failed. Ayden pull the empress out of the pit. There is a bump behind them started to follow them from behind trying to gobble them up. Ayden uses the chain that he tied the empress with to swing from tree to tree. Eventually they reached a small village but unfortunately the bump still following them. Plus it has became huge like tsunami waves.

One of the unwritten rule of Royal Raiding is not to danger your own citizen. The empress asked Ayden to let her go so that she can save the villager. Ayden asked her to tell her name first then he will let her go.

"My name is Ye Hua. Bring that name to your grave" said the empress.
