"I am taking back the Runic Stone, you are not worth it." said Masked Man.
"Oh? Since when I was so obedient to you? I am the one who used you, I would even destroy you if you get in my way!" exclaimed Issac with anger.
"Is that so? Come and try it....You will regret." said Masked Man.
With that provoking sentence, Issac went ahead with last bit of his strength. Issac deliver cold breathe at extreme close range so Masked Man couldn't escape the wrath of it.
However the masked man was unaffected by it. His defence was high.
Issac drew more power from the Runic Stone and cross slashed Masked Man.
However Masked Man wasn't hurt at all, not even a single scratch.
Masked Man simply used a normal jab on Issac's face.
Issac was thrown back a far right on the wall, completely passed out unconscious.
Masked Man took the Runic Stone which was dropped by Issac.
"Well, he is down. You can capture him. I have no use of him. I have got one of the Runic Stone. I hoped he could use it...." said Masked Man.
"You can't escape, you are being suspicious of your actions just now. Your conversations, we heard it all. Please come quietly with us if you don't want trouble." said Willy, with unwavering determination.
Masked Man noticed something special about Willy.
"Young man, what's your name?" asked Masked Man.
"It's Willy...." replied Willy.
"I will remember this name. You are special case now." said Masked Man.
Masked Man seemed to take interest in Willy's behaviour.
Kael was observing this while standing besided masked man and doing nothing.
"Willy....he is perfect but I can't just get careless. I should wait for right opportunity for it to happen." Pondered Masked Man while staring at Willy.
"Why are you silent?" asked Willy, breaking the silence.
"Sorry to break it to you guys, I shall be going now." said Masked Man.
"You can't d-" Just before Noel could say more, the heavy smog appeared out of nowhere.
Everyone present in the hall slept including Kael, Willy, and Noel.
Masked Man disappeared into the smog, leaving no trace behind.

Few days had passed by but guild had no clues about the unknown masked man.
However, Kael and his allies caught Issac alive.
Issac didn't said a single word since that day, even skipping his meals purposefully as if wanting to die.
The Saints, one of the Seven Deadly Organizations, was destroyed completely.
All members of The Saints were captured alive and were punished for their actions too.
Willy visited quite a few times but Issac had declined the request and shut himself inside the prison cell room.
However, with continuous attempt to visit made Issac think to let Willy come by.
Issac and Willy were sitting on opposite side between the transperant glass.
"So what do you want from? I believe I have rejected the idea of meeting you especially. But I see, you are still persistent." said Issac with heavy dark circles around his eyes, his body weakened because of the lack of enough nutritions.
Willy noticed this sudden change.
"Are you going to act like this until you die?" asked Willy.
Issac smirked as he said.
"What's gone is gone. I have lost this war. I am not gonna ask for mercy. Because in the end.... Whatever you do is righteous action. Maybe if I am defeated means I wasn't righteous enough confront you all." said Issac.
"It means, I failed at knowing the true righteousness. My belief in righteousness isn't gone. However since I got defeated by you, this is also righteous action. All I hated was people acting as if they knew true righteousness." said Issac.
"Stop with that nonsense....No one is right...No one is pretending...and No one is wrong either." said Willy.
What Willy said surprised Issac.
"Interesting, maybe you right...." said Issac with a smirk.
"Maybe what I believed in wasn't righteous actions, What I truly believed in maybe was nothing is wrong or right. We do what feels more Good or feels righteous....Maybe I was wrong." said Issac, realised that he wasn't looking for righteous path.
Issac may have been wanting to choose a path where it might feel like doing what is right.
"Heh, seems like I was blinded by my own overthinking. I apologise." said Issac.
"You were right in your own way Issac....That's all I wanted to say." said Willy.
"Which is why I want to end my life. I have done many sins thinking everything is righteous. But I never looked at what should be felt right to do. Nothing is wrong or right after all...it depends on us what feels right...." replied Issac.
"That is why I want to end my life at failing to know what is true righteousness." smirked Issac as he replied more.
"You are just escaping reality then. You should face judgement and work again for guild...No, for other people. To do what actually feels right." said Willy.
Issac laughed so hard on Willy.
"W-What? Did I say something weird?" asked Willy.
"No No...You are still being yourself. Tell me Willy....Why is it that you trust humanity so much, that kindness and compassion for others...Why do you endure everything for others when you gin nothing?" asked Issac.
"Hm? What are you saying? I mean, isn't obvious? I don't want people to suffer." said Willy.
"You don't want people to suffer?"
"Yes...."
"I see.....Willy....I will eat some burger and pizza before eating healthy food. Please order it. I will pay for my sins and work with you guys." said Issac.
"I am glad you listened...but I don't have enough money please buy yourself for the food." said Willy.
"Annoying as always Willy...."
Both of them laughed as they spoke.
Noel looked happy when Issac realised his mistakes and wanted to redeem.
"Issac, you have committed many crimes. But according to people, you are a hero for H-Type city because you geniunely helped people in need while doing sinister things. Although it won't be easy, but with those people supporting you after hearing your story, we can reduce your punishment level." said Willy.
"Why? Why are they helping me after all I have done." said Issac.
"All of them said one thing about you, they said that they believe you. You were just misguided." said Willy.
"Willy, atleast don't use harsh words that I was misguided or something. I admit it but you are mocking me." said Issac.
"Haha, I apologise." said Willy.
