Synopsis

The chapter opens with the knights frantically searching for a 'little rat' who knows secret routes and possesses the vengeful spirit of the pyramid. This character is revealed to be seeking revenge on those who brought the 'Carwidmen' and manipulated events, and he exploits the ongoing conflict to his advantage. He manipulates the situation, not aiming to steal the relic, but to break a vital barrier that hinders the knights' advancement and helps the Carwidmen. The chapter culminates in a battle where the knights, though superior, are hampered by the barrier, while the mysterious character's plan is poised to change the course of the fight.
