I think the character I'm most curious about right now is Donnie. Yes, he ran away from the battle, but I don't expect him to stay gone for long. I'm pretty sure he'll return and help turn the tides for the heroes in some major way. Like maybe he'll distract Ironside at some critical moment, or manage to snatch away/break the coffin when everyone least suspects it. Remember, like Anne, he also dreamed of becoming a holy knight, so I see no way for the author to deny him a moment to shine!

Now, as far as Ironside goes.... I kinda doubt he'll be defeated this arc (in battle, that is). I mean, the guy literally hasn't moved a single step throughout the fight so far!

My guess is that he'll show off just a hint of his true power before the ritual is interrupted and will most likely retreat afterwards. Aside from what I said above about Donnie potentially foiling his schemes, I could also see Sin driving off the knight, somehow.....

WingedAccelerator · 2021-06-04, 04:08

Donny could fake his cowardice to make Ironside let his guard down with the protection of the Coffin. If he starts spanking Percival, Anne, and Nasiens hard, Donny could just levitate to Coffin away from the distance.

Kanon · 2021-06-04, 07:29

I don't think Donny is faking it, but I do think he'll have a change of heart and come back. It's pretty much what always happens with coward characters like him.

DragonOsman · 2021-06-04, 11:46

I was forgetting about Donnie's ability to levitate stuff. But could he actually use that to take the Coffin away from Ironside? From a distance? I hope he can.

But yeah, I'm with Kanon on the topic of him faking his cowardice.

marvelB · 2021-06-04, 13:47

BTW, I also found it pretty curious that Ironside showed such disdain at the idea of female holy knights. I guess that means there are no women among the ranks of Camelot's knights? That's interesting, considering that Liones already had lady knights in NNT, even when you don't count Merlin and Diane (we had Jericho, Guila, Vivian, etc...). Guess Arthur's knights are sexist, along with being racist jerks, lol.

DragonOsman · 2021-06-04, 17:12

Could be something Deathpierce did, if he's really there. I don't think Arthur would do that. He had admiration for Merlin. I guess he could do it if he's really changed that much, though.

If the antagonists have no females in their ranks, I sure hope the Four Knights will at least (there's only one spot left).

Ramero · 2021-06-05, 07:23

Huh? Who's the third knight? I haven't seen the third member join Percival's gang, only Percival and I expect Anghalhad is the second knight.

DragonOsman · 2021-06-05, 07:28

Yeah, Anne might be one of them. Did they say there was one who could tell if someone was telling lies or hiding something?

The three spots are taken by Percival, Tristan, and Lancelot. Only one Knight is unknown.

DragonOsman · 2021-06-07, 09:17

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Wait though, Nasciens could be the last one. The Plague one. I think someone on here speculated about that before.

WingedAccelerator · 2021-06-08, 07:52

Don't forget that we also had descriptions about them.

Percival: A child with verdant, wing-like hair.
Tristan: A boy with holiness and evil in his eyes.
Since Lancelot has an affilation with the Lady of the Lake, I would assume the boy bearing gold-colored magig is referring to Lancelot.
That leaves us the last individual, who is a mysterious lad with no fixed appearance. People assumed Nasiens have the ability to transform and he needed blood to do that, and he is vampire or something, but so far nothing about that.

Also, I wonder how accurate of a statement is the "lad" in the last one's description. I'm betting myself on a female or a genderless being. Every group needs an obligatory female member.

DragonOsman · 2021-06-08, 09:10

Yeah, the last one apparently doesn't have a fixed appearance. I forgot about that, so thanks for the reminder.

Well, a female member would be great, but it's not that important for me as long as Percival has a love interest that's a beautiful girl.

Anh_Minh · 2021-06-08, 09:34

Well, he does have Angharad, so he's good.

Percival was a misdirection, the real protagonist will get introduced after this.

I'm worried. The battles so far, minus against Talisker, got balanced with the fact that Percival is a beginner. He still wields a disgustingly versatile magic with a lot of possibilities though. Be it soul manipulation, governing spirits or whatever that can make him avoid death, I really damn hope it's nothing too convenient that completely erases the stakes with him around. Unless of course, it were Varghese's artifacts that came into play.

Donny has an uncle. Howzer?

Kanon · 2021-06-09, 07:35

Guess we're about to find out why Percival personifies Death.

That one was Tristan according to the depiction we saw. Famine is the unknown one.

marvelB Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005	New chap: Spoiler for 19: Ironside wrecks everyone present as he unleashes a powerful magic attack! Meanwhile, Donnie is still escaping when he notices a villager being attacked by one of the monsters... and seems to decide to stick around to help the girl. Back to Percy's group, it's revealed that he healed everyone that got hit by Ironside's attack! However, in doing so, he left himself open to be taken in his father's grasp. He takes this chance to ask him why he killed his grandfather, to which Ironside answers that it was a precautionary measure in case he turned out to be one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse! He also claims the grandfather stole something precious from him, which was reason alone to execute him..... Anne tries to save Percy, but she's batted away! Percy also tries to go after the coffin again, but Ironside stabs his hand with his sword (and even grinds it around for good measure). When Anne once again tries to come to Percy's aid, she gets intimidated by the enemy knight's powerful aura! Ironside then proceeds to torture his own child, stomping him like a bug! Finally, he raises his blade..... and as it plunges down upon him, the battered Percy thinks of his grandfather. The sword pierces the boy straight through the chest. After getting stabbed, Percy's golems begin to vanish. Ironside finally declares that the monsters will slaughter the entire town in order to complete the ritual....!!!!!!

DragonOsman Dragon King Join Date: Jul 2014 Location: Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia Age: 34	Thanks for the spoiler. Spoiler for 19: Now how will Percival survive this? Any ideas? I was wondering if his golems could revive him but they just vanished so I guess not. I'm also curious what Percival's grandfather stole from Ironside. And kudos to whoever first called that Donnie would stick around. __________________

marvelB Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005	^ Spoiler for 19: One theory I've seen floating around is that Percival's soul may meet with his departed grandfather in the Capital of the Dead, who could provide him with some guidance before the boy wakes up and confronts Ironside once more. At the very least, the next chapter's title ("The Name of that Magic Is") seems to hint that our hero will be striking back soon enough.... Also, one more thing to consider: of the future apocalypse knights, recall that Percival represented DEATH. Maybe getting "killed" by Ironside will provide ample opportunity as to why that is the case.

cyberdemon Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2007	Spoiler for 19: perhaps that precious thing is Percival himself. That Ironsides is making himself into an enemy in order to unleash Percival as the Horseman of Death. Killing him will probably unleash some new power up in Percival. __________________
