Steele finally reached the ground floor when he saw the mess Jin had made but instead of fighting against him, the leader of the Royal Guard threw his sword on the ground. "Lord Jin, listen to me."

"How can I listen when those two huge chest plates assassins are behind you, waiting to pounce on me whenever they have the chance to get their revenge? Their eyes are hungry for blood." Jin said as he raised his demigorgon sword and pointed at him instead.

However, in a show of good faith, Steele turned back and punched the Elite Alpha causing her to be knocked back and Elite Sigma had to catch her before she crashed into a wall. The two assassins looked at Steele and he emitted an aura as if not to mess with him.

"In accordance with the rules set by Bearling Palace, if either the leader of the Royal Assassin or Royal Guard had fallen, the other will take charge. Have you forgotten that rule?"

"But Sir Steele! He killed Shai and now your actions deemed you as a traitor for dropping your sword in front of the enemy." Elite Sigma said as she pressed a button to drop the heavy armour chest piece to reveal an armament Jin would never expect. It was robotic in nature but he was pretty sure that it was like a centipede kind of weapon that would be used to bite on people's flesh.

"Sigma. I am not saying I am surrendering to that enemy. I am asking you to look at the bigger picture right now. You saw how those Mecha Dragons are being rampant in Bearling City."

"Aren't they just yelling and what so ever?" Alpha stood up and released her armoured chest piece as well to reveal the very same robotic armament but they were snake like in nature. It seemed as if they were willing to attack Steele for the punch he did to them just now.

"They had attacked Bearling Central Train Station." Steele immediately sent the video feed to them and the Mecha Dragons indeed turned rogue and started to bite through the city barriers.

"The Royal Guards had already been mobilised to the scene as fast as they could to facilitate the evacuation but they had been targeted by other Mecha Dragons as well."

"Syn, stupid question. If I kill the Queen now and initiate an early Armageddon, can those Mecha Dragons disappear in a flash as well?" Jin asked as Steele was explaining the situation to them.

"Unfortunately, no. Your coronation to the crown is needed after the death of the Royals. Only once the Empire had recognised you and the claim to the crown after that official event, the Empire's priest would then bring you to a sacred tower where they would allow the official commencement of the meeting with the Almighty."

"You made the rules, why can't you shorten it?" Jin said and Syn wished he could laugh.

"Take this as a chance to save Bearling City from their plight. This will inevitably increase your favourability with them, just as how you got the support of Daimon City when you defended them from the outbreak and subsequently the killing of the Mecha Fire Dragons." Syn said and Jin shook his head as he put his arms at his waist.

"How many Dragons are there?"

"Twelve. We are not sure if there are any more flying in. The Queen is not answering my calls."

"Are they all Fire Dragons?" Jin asked and Steele checked what the Tactical Officers had gathered and shook his head.

"No. There are a mix of Dragon types. In fact, there is an absence of Fire Dragons."

"Have you estimated their power capabilities?" Jin asked again as he requested the System to give him an overview of where the Mecha Dragons were.

"It seems that most of them are an equivalent of the 'Fira' Dragon you fought except for the big bad one who appeared to be a notch above." When Jin heard that, it seemed like Steele knew the existence of the Mecha dragons. He had also been watching the news closely with regard to the Jin's subjugation of the Mecha Fire Dragons in Parry City and had not turned a blind eye to it.

"Is that why you say you are not sure if there are any more flying in? Since you knew that they are currently at the power level of a 'Fira' Dragon." Jin asked and Steele gave a quiet but reluctant yes. Even the two Elites Royal Assassins could not believe their ears when they heard that more might be flying in.

"Then aren't the other cities going to do anything about it? What's the cause of their rampage? Surely the queen is sane enough to not let those monsters crawl around as if they own the place."

"From what I last heard, the Queen demanded the manufacturing corporation of the Mecha Dragons to give her a control all switch, an interface that will keep all of them in check. With the Queen not answering my calls, I can only hazard the interface did not work and the technician deemed to be unconscious for questioning." Steele said as he pointed at the truck with the casualty inside.

"What the hell, then just rescue him and ask him personally. What are you guys doing? Am I that important that civilians would be damned?" Jin said as he took his demigorgon sword and cut open the front glass of the van, slowly pulling him out of the wreckage.

"The technician is still breathing. That's a good step one." Jin said as he pulled the technician's buttons off and checked if there were any external injuries before placing his palm on him and starting to transfer some Maqi.

He might not be efficient in healing like Milk but he got some knowledge of the anatomy after being stabbed, damaged, and internal bleeding so many times as well as from understanding his chi and mana circuits. So, with a quick infusion of Maqi, the person was 'salvageable'.
