Unleash the power of the Wonder-Ride books!
The eye-patched man stared at Saber for a few seconds before starting to laugh.
"Hahahaha! I would never imagine that a Magic Knight from the Sword Of Logos will face me." The eye-patched man said with a wide grin on his face.
"What?! How did he know that I'm a part of the Sword Of Logos right off the bat?" Saber thought with a surprised expression under his helmet.
The little girl took the chance to run straight towards the swordsman of flames.
"Thank you so much! I was so scared!" The little girl exclaimed before hugging Saber around the waist tightly.
The swordsman of flames smiled slightly under his helmet.
"I know, but you did great." Saber said in a soothing tone of voice.
"Can you stay behind me. Things will get ugly." Saber instructed, making the little girl nod her head before moving back so that she's behind Saber who turned his attention towards the eye-patched man.
"I'll make you regret ever coming to the Royal Capital." Saber said as he point Rekka towards the eye-patched man.
"Hah! I like to see you try. But I'm not the only one here." The eye-patched responded, making Saber widened his eyes slightly.
"So, its not just him and this undead army. There's others." Saber thought, becoming slightly worried.
"Let's have some fun before that skull-face swordsman decided to steal you. Get him!" The eye-patched man said before summoning corpses to attack Saber.
"So this guy can summon corpses…what else can his magic can do?" Saber wondered before shaking his head.
"There's no time to think. Fire Creation Magic: Flame Dragon's Fangs!" Saber exclaimed before sending a barrage of fire-shaped daggers towards the army of the undead.
The fire daggers hit their target, causing the bodies of the undead to lit up.
Saber then lunged towards the corpses and started to hack and slash them.
However, the eye-patched man just summon more corpses to take their place.
"Seriously?! How many of these guys can that eye-patched guycan summon?" Saber thought as he continued to swing Rekka, making sure not to go too far away from the little girl.
"Fire Magic: Spiral Flame!" A voice shouted before two spirals of flames flew through the air and incinerated all the corpses that the flames come into contact with.
"Thanks, Leopold." Saber said as he glance over his shoulder to see the Crimson Lions Magic Knight.
"No problem! Its better if we team up." Leopold said before focusing his attention towards the eye-patched man.
"So, a lion has decided to join the sword for my army to feast upon." The eye-patched man said with a smile on his face.
"Is that the guy who leading these corpses?" Leopold asked with a frown on his face.
"Yes, but he said that there are others around." Saber explained, making the frown on Leopold's face to deepen.
"This is becoming more intense by the minute…." Leopold muttered as he notice the presence of the little girl.
Saber glanced at the hoard of the undead army before making a decision.
"I think its time to use this Wonder-Ride book." Saber said before taking out the "Mighty Elephant" Wonder-Ride book before opening it, revealing a silhouette of an elephant done in grey.
"This towering beast wonders through the lands, using it's tusks to pierces those who becomes a threat towards it."
The Wonder-Ride book announced before Saber sheathed Rekka and closed both covers of "Mighty Elephant" and "Brave Dragon".
The other three people became curious as Saber place "Mighty Elephant" into the center slot on the Seiken Sword-Driver, causing two larger versions of the slotted Wonder-Ride books to appear behind the swordsman of flames and the standby sound to play.
With a quick motion, Saber unsheathed Rekka.
Unsheathe the Flames!
The driver announced, making the two Wonder-Ride books and their larger counterparts to spring open, revealing a image a armored figure.
When two books synthesize, the sacred blade is infused with power! Wonder Rider!
The driver announced just as a Brave Dragon came out of the pages, being joined by a grey mechanical elephant which circled around Saber before merging with him.
Dragon! Elephant!
The Blade equipped with two attributes will be honed!
The Driver finished it's announcement and Saber's center is now grey with the head of a elephant on the chest area and a grey strip coming down from below the Seiken Sword-Driver.
The top piece of Saber's helmet has changed to grey.
The little girl had a expression of awe on her face at what just happened whilst Leopold has a excited expression on his face.
"I was told that members of the Sword Of Logos have the ability to alter their armor, but what sort of combination does a dragon and a elephant would bring?" The eye-patched man wondered, feeling slightly tensed.
"So, I wonder what sort of power you possess." Saber muttered to himself as he looked down at the elephant head-piece before looking up.
"Right! I hope your army of the undead are ready for some stomping!" Saber exclaimed as he look up and he raised a foot before brining it down.
A tremor is felt as the corpses stumbled slightly.
"H-hey! Be careful where you put your foot!" The eye-patched man exclaimed as he regained his balance.
"So I can create tremors by stamping the ground." Saber commented, gaining a interested expression on his face as he looked down at his feet.
"Are you even listening!" The eye-patched man said whilst gaining a tick-mark on his forehead.
"Leopold. Are you ready to burn some corpses?" Saber asked as he got himself ready.
"Hah! You bet I am!" Leopold replied in a excited tone of voice as he lit his hands on fire.
The two fire mages then charged towards the small army of corpses.
"Lighting Creation Magic: Trinity Binds!" Espada shouted as she trap a few of of the moving corpses with lighting that took the shape of a triangle.
"Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Spikes!" Joyeuse shouted as she created spikes which then rained down upon the trapped corpses.
"Where the hell did these corpses came from?!" Espada shouted as she swing Ikazuchi at a corpse that attempted to take a swipe at her.
"I really don't want to discover the answer to that question." Joyeuse responded as she duck under a attack before striking back.
"So this is how the Magic Knights of the Sword Of Logos fight?" Fuegoleon thought as he glance towards the two female Kamen Riders.
The captain of the Crimson Lions turned his head back forwards to see a group of the the undead moving towards him.
"I hope you're ready to burn." Fuegleon commented as he Grimoire flipped through it's pages.
"Fire Magic: Sol Linea!" Fuegleon announced before manifesting a sun-like sphere which then shoot a intense beam of fire towards the moving corpses, completely destroying them.
"There's no end to them. Leopold and Saber are possibly at the person controlling these corpses, judging by their location of magic energy being joined by a third. But a question is if there are others…." Fuegoleon thought with a frown on his face before they widened when he suddenly sensed someone approaching their location.
With Joyeuse, the swords-woman of steel cut down a corpse before taking a quick glance around the area.
"The enemy is dwindling down in this area." Joyeuse thought in relief.
"I thought that I smell the scent of sword-bearers…..But I haven't seen you before." A unknown male voice spoke, making Joyeuse flinch before turning around towards the direction of the voice to see a person wearing blackish armor which involves the shoulder-pads in the shape snarling animal heads. His face resembles that of a red skull and there is a red scarf draped over his shoulder. In his hand is a sword that has a red orb set within the blade.
"Who are you?" Joyeuse asked whilst starting to gain scary vibes from the newcomer.
"Oh? I thought that being apart of the Sword Of Logos would mean that you know your enemies." The skull-face man commented with a light laugh before speaking again.
"My name is Desast, female sword-bearer." The now known Desast introduce himself, causing Joyeuse to pale slightly.
"I've been told about this guy…very bad news." Joyeuse thought as she tightened her grip on Argent-Couronee.
"My name is Kamen Rider Joyeuse, the swords-woman of steel." Joyeuse introduce herself, making Desast tilt his head to the side.
"I didn't know that a sword-bearer of steel existed. This will be fun." Desast commented as he lifted his sword.
The two of them stared at each other for a few seconds before charging at each other.
Sparks fly through the air as the two swords clash against each other.
The two then took a step back before spinning around and clashing their swords against each other again.
"Hahaha. I can see that you will be a worthy opponent to fight." Desast commented in amusement.
"Don't treat this as some sort of game!" Joyeuse shouted as she put pressure behind Argent-Couronee.
Even though she couldn't see it, but Joyeuse can tell that the Desast is smirking.
The skull-faced swordsman then broke the deadlock before throwing a barrage of sword attacks towards Joyeuse.
"Darn! I can't strike back!" Joyeuse exclaimed in her head as the only she can do at the moment is be on the defensive.
"Lightening Creation Magic: Lighting Genie's Gems!" A voice shouted and Desast jumped back to avoid a hailstorm of gem-like bullets.
"Joyeuse! Are you okay?!" Espada shouted as she run up to the swords-woman of steel.
"Y…yes. Thanks for….the….save…." Joyeuse replied in a slightly breathless tone of voice.
This cause Espada to sigh in relief before turning her attention towards Desast with a determined expression on her face.
However, the swords-woman of lighting became confuse as she took in Desast's appearance, having originally thought that Joyeuse is under attack by a more powerful corpse.
"Who is this guy?" Espada asked, glancing towards Joyeuse slightly.
"That's Desast." The swords-woman of steel replied, making the swords-woman of lighting to widened her eyes in shock.
"You got to be kidding me?! Not only we have to deal with this army of the undead, but we have to fight this guy as well?!" Espada shouted in her head before preparing herself.
"Joyeuse. I think its best if we this guy together." Espada said, making Joyeuse widened her eyes.
"Really?" Joyeuse asked, making Espada nod her head.
"Yes. This guy is a strong Megid after all. If we want any chance of survival against this guy, then teaming up is the best option." Espada explained, making Joyeuse gulped slightly before nodding her head and preparing herself as well.
With Desast, the skull-faced swordsman chuckled.
"So, I get to fight two Holy Sword-bearers. I am going to enjoy myself." Desast commented, feeling excited.
"We are going to wipe that smirk off your face, Megid! Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Vortex!" Joyeuse shouted as she stab the blade of Argent-Couronee into the ground.
This cause Desast to become curious before suddenly getting engulfed by a whirlpool of water.
"Do they really think that some water will stop me?" Desast thought as he prepared to break himself free.
However, Espada appeared within the whirlpool and strike Desast with a lighting covered Ikazuchi.
The skull-faced swordsman blocked Ikazuchi with his sword, but the lighting did some damage to him.
The whirlpool vanished just as Espada kicked Desast, sending him crashing onto the ground.
Desast picked himself up off the ground just in time to see the swords-woman's Grimoire opening.
"Lighting Creation Magic: Lighting Genie's Thief boots!" Espada announced as she landed on the ground, letting lighting cover her legs before charging towards Desast.
Despite the sudden increase that Espada gained through her spell, the skull-faced swordsman managed to block the barrage of sword strikes that Espada threw at him, eventually ending up with the two sword-wielders in a deadlock.
"Good, good. That's some sword skills you have there." Desast commented before chuckling slightly.
"Leave the flattery, Megid. I will not be swayed." Espada said before jumping back.
"That's a shame. Now, my turn to show my sword skills." Desast said before charging towards Espada.
It was probably thanks to her spell that Espada managed to block all the deadly-looking sword strikes that Desast throw at her before kicking the swords-woman in the stomach.
"Espada?!" Joyeuse shouted in a concern tone of voice as the the swords-woman skidded next to her.
"I'm…..fine." Espada replied whilst taking a deep breath.
"But still…..he is a strong opponent." Joyeuse commented as she kept an eye on the skull-faced swordsman who is slowly approaching the two swords-women.
Espada frowned under her helmet before coming to a decision.
"I think its time to use some of those new Wonder-Ride books." Espada said as she took out a Wonder-Ride from one of her holders just as Joyeuse did the same.
Desast stopped and became curious as both female Magic Knights opened the "Star-gazing Owl" and "Hundred-Headed Hydra" Wonder-Ride Books.
"This avian soars through the night sky, using it's sharp eyesight to hunt…"
"There once was a creature with multiple heads, which would regrow into two when one was removed….."
The two Wonder-Ride books announced before Espada and Joyeuse closed the covers.
The swords-woman of lighting placed the new Wonder-Ride book into the center slot of the Seiken Sword-driver, along with sheathing Ikazuchi, whilst Joyeuse removed "Swift Dolphin" and replaced it with "Hundred-Headed Hydra".
Two standby sounds started to play just as the two female Magic Knights prepare themselves.
In a space of a second, Espada unsheathed Ikazuchi whilst Joyeuse pressed the button on the hilt of Argent-Couronee.
Unsheathe the lighting!
When two book synthesize, the sacred blade is fused with power! Wonder Rider!
The Seiken Sword-driver announced just as the gold mechanical genie circled around Espada whilst being joined by a owl which then merged with Espada, transforming the center piece of the armor to purple with the head of a owl on the chest area and two small strips hanging from the back just below the shoulders.
Alangina! Owl!
The blade equipped with two elements will be honed
Hydra volume: Let the power of the god-beast fuse with the blade...
Argent-Couronee announced just as a jet-black mechanical Hydra circled around Joyeuse before fusing with the swords-woman of steel. Joyeuse's right side is now in cased in black armor with a single Hydra's head as a shoulder-pad and three small Hydra heads on the gauntlet-like piece on Joyeuse's arm.
"Hmm? Some new Wonder-Ride books." Desast commented in amusement just as Joyeuse charged towards the skull-faced swordsman.
As the two clash swords Desast noticed how slow Joyeuse's attacks are.
"Its like she wants to be cut down." Desast thought before complying, delivering a deadly attack to the swords-woman of steel.
"Joyeuse!" Espada shouted in shock as she watch her friend receiving the deadly attack and prepared to charge towards Desast.
However, the eyes of the molded Hydra heads started to glow and suddenly a second Joyeuse appeared.
"Eh?" Espada said in a confuse tone of voice as she froze mid step.
Desast started to chuckle.
"I see, I see. So you lead me to attack in order for the ability of the new Wonder-Ride book to activate." Desast commented as he glance between the two swords-women of steel.
"You got that right." Both Joyeuses replied at the same time.
"That's just plain creepy." Espada thought before using the powers of her new Wonder-Ride book to create wings and flew over the heads of the two Joyeuses to attack Desast.
"Come on. We better aid Espada." One of the Joyeuse said, making the other nod her head.
Desast is enjoying himself as he fought the 3(?) sword-bearers.
However, things changed when Espada, who is flying in the air, shot feathers towards Desast with one of the feathers trapping the skull faced swordsman against a wall of a building by his scarf.
"Time to deal the final blow!" Espada said as she took out "Needle Hedgehog" and scanned it on the tip of the Ikazuchi.
Needle Hedgehog! Hmm! Hmm!
Ikazuchi announced just as yellow energy covered the blade.
Espada took a slight deep breath before pressing the trigger.
Learning Flash!
Ikazuchi announced again and the yellow energy transformed into spikes just as Espada flew straight towards Desast.
Just as it looked like Espada's attack would connect, the skull-faced swordsman began to "smirk" before taking out a object from somewhere.
Espada's eyes widened under her helmet as she recognized the object, but couldn't do anything as Desast placed the object against the red orb.
Red wind seemed to swirl around Desast's blade before the skull-faced swordsman swing his sword, unleashing a mighty whirlwind and blew Espada away.
Thankfully, the swords-woman of lighting was caught by the two Joyeuses.
"T-thanks." Espada said as the two Joyeuses placed her on the ground.
"What happened?!" One of the Joyeuses said as she took a quick glance towards Desast.
"That whirlwind was caused by a Wonder-Ride book." Espada replied, making both Joyeuses widened their eyes under their helmet.
"S-seriously?!" One of the Joyeuses exclaimed in shock.
"I didn't realized that the Megid can utilized the power of a Wonder-Ride in the same manner as the Sword Of Logos Magic Knights." The other Joyeuse said with a frown under her helmet.
"Would at least one of you speak at one given time? Its creepy." Espada asked, making the two Joyeuses giggled slightly despite the situation they are in.
Desast approach the 3(?) swords-women, he glanced around and made a decision.
"I think its best if we take this battle to another location.
Its too crowded with all the buildings." Desast explained, making the 3(?) Swords-woman to gain shock expressions on their faces.
"Your running away?!" One of the Joyeuses shouted in shock.
However, Desast shook his head.
"No. You're coming along as well." Desast said as he took out a Alter-Ride book and opened it.
A bright light appeared from the Alter-Ride book and reality seemed to start flipping like pages.
In a few seconds, the 4(?) of the have disappeared.
Within another part of the Royal Capital, captain Charlotte and Sol are busy taking care with their share of undead soldiers as the two Blue Rose Magic Knights stand upon a rock golem created by Sol.
"Tch! These things really do make me sick to the stomach." Charlotte said as she wield a sword handle which has vines sprouting from the cross-guard rather than a normal blade.
"You're right about that Char!" Sol said in agreement before ordering her earth golem to attack some corpses that approach them.
"That's Captain Charlotte, Sol." The captain of the Blue Rose remind Sol as she swing her "sword", trapping a few corpses within thorny vines that are covered in blue roses.
It was then that a large crashing sound can be heard, causing both Blue Rose Magic Knights to turn their heads towards the source and saw a human-like monster with black skin and wearing armor that resembles a mixture of earth and stone standing next to a crumbled down wall.
"What sort of man is that?!" Sol exclaimed in a shock tone of voice.
Charlotte frowned as she examine the monster and notice a symbol like a book.
"A Megid..." Charlotte thought just as the Spriggan Magid turned it's attention towards the Magic Knights.
"Must…...destroy." The Spriggan Megid said in a low tone of voice, making the two Blue Rose Magic Knights to become tense.
"So not only we have to deal with this undead army, we have to deal with…...some sort man-monster." Sol commented as a nervous smile appear on her face.
"It would appear so Sol." Charlotte responded just as the Spriggan Megid suddenly dashed towards the two female Magic knights, having no regards to the corpses as they were sent flying.
The two Blue Rose Magic Knights prepared themselves for the impact, with Sol enhancing the defense of her rock golem.
However, before the Spriggan Megid could came close to the two female Magic Knights, a gold portal appeared in front of them and Rintaro came out.
"Right! What's going on he-Water Creation Magic: Water Lion's Shield!" Rintaro announced quickly in order not to get hit by the Spriggan Megid's fist.
Charlotte and Sol became silent at what just happened as they watch Rintaro pushed the Spriggan Megid back, effectively knocking him onto the ground.
"T-that was close!" Rintaro said in a shock tone of voice before sensing the presence of two people behind him.
"Oh! Captain Charlotte…..and another Blue Rose Knight." Rintaro commented just as the two female Magic Knights came back to their sense.
"The name's Sol Marron! Not some random Blue Rose Knight." Sol introduce herself.
"Not now Sol. Where did you come from?" Charlotte asked as she focus her attention onto Rintaro.
"Captain Sophia sent me from the base when she sensed trouble at the Royal Capital." Rintaro explained, making Charlotte nod her head, feeling slightly relieved that some form of backup has come.
"That's some good news. To explain what is happening, the Royal Capital is under attack by these corpses and the Magic Knights that took part in the ceremony earlier are dealing with them in different locations. Your fellow Sword Of Logo Magic Knights have teamed up with the Crimson Lions, they are currently at the Northern District." Charlotte explained, making Rintaro nod his head whilst feeling relieved that his friends are alright.
"And now a man-monster has appeared." Sol added, making Rintaro turn his attention towards the Spriggan Megid, who is slowly getting up, and his eyes widened slightly when he saw the true nature of the monster.
"Captain Charlotte. Please allow me to deal with this opponent whilst you take care of these corpses." Rintaro requested as he took out his Seiken Sword-driver.
This cause Charlotte to become slightly surprise before nodding her head.
"Very well. You take care of this opponent." Charlotte said, making Rintaro nod his head before taking out "Lion Senki" and "Peter Fantastia" and opening their covers.
Lion Senki
"A story of hopes and dreams unfold from the heart of a boy who never grows up..."
The new Wonder-Ride book announced and Rintaro closed the cover before placing the two Wonder-Ride books into the center and left slots of the Seiken Sword-driver, causing the standby sound to start playing whist larger versions of the Wonder-Ride books appeared behind him.
Both Charlotte and Sol watched as Rintaro place a hand on Nagare before unsheathing the blade, making the Wonder-Ride books spring open.
"Henshin!" Rintaro shouted before making a horizontal slash with Nagare.
Unsheathe the current!
Behold, the shining lion fantasista!
Nagare-Volume 2: Roar! Shine! The claws of the fantasy dwell within the blue swordsman!
The Seiken Sword-driver announced just as Rintaro transform into his default form before a small fairy came out of the new Wonder-Ride book and fused with the swordsman of water, transforming his top left side to a light blue armor where he is equipped with a hook on his arm and wing-like piece on his back. Blades' helmet also gained a wing-like piece.
"In the name of Nagare, the sword of current, I will keep the world outside of harms way!" Blades announced with conviction.
And there we have it, the invasion on the Royal Capital is going in full swing with Rintaro joining in...technically at the wrong time to face a new Megid. So the remaining Wonder-Ride books that were found in the Dungeon have been used, but mainly the "Hundred-Headed Hydra" and "Star-Gazing Owl" Wonder-Ride books though, and Desast made his appearance in this chapter before taking himself, Espada and Joyeuse off the battlefield along with using a Wonder-Ride book himself. So next time in Kamen Rider Saber, Master Logos will finally make his move and we may have a lead to Luna's whereabouts.
Pretty soon, Master Logos will transform into Kamen Rider Solomon, using a golden colored version of the "King Of Auther" sword. Solomon's appearance was leaked a few weeks ago by someone who managed to take some photos of filming which involves team Saber fighting against someone. At the time, everyone believed that this person was the 11th Holy Sword wielder, but it was Solomon himself. Kamen Rider Falchion will be appearing soon in the main series, along with Emotional Dragon, but Kenzan will turn into a villain, teaming up with Desast.
It also appears that Touma will finally be reunited with Luna soon rather than appearing in the endgame that I previously thought.
Please review and until next time.
Farhan Nugraha:
1) Captain Fuegoleon losing his arm...I'm not making any promises.
2) Captain Charlotte being married...I'm keeping my mouth shut. Hehehehe.
3) Leopold hasn't met Kenzan yet, he's just assuming that there is a sword-bearer of winds to make a good alternative rival for Yuno.
4) One will be appearing in the next arc.
5) Yeah, Master Logos will likely become more powerful from this point onwards and Touma dying...I wonder if that was a future that Kento foresaw.
A humble Squire:
1) Well, I can say that Charlotte will know the previous Saber who then knows Asta through some mysterious reason.
2) Are you talking about the Youtuber known as Broku? I seen many of his theories on Black Clover and enjoy listening to them as they, like you said, explained logically and with deep research.
3) Yeah, ultimately we just have to wait until Mr Tabata reveals the second half of Asta's origins to us.
starwing1995: Since things will be different in this story, it is likely that the trail will be written differently, and Asta being the prince of Wonder World? Donna certainly has been keeping her mouth tightly shut about that detail. But that does bring up some interesting scenes.
Noelle: I am royalty.
Asta: I'm royalty as well.
Noelle...
Asta:...
Noelle: Shut up, Bakasta.
Raidentensho:
1) Unfortunately, Buster won't being appearing in this arc.
2) The sword flames, smoke and ash(?) being one sword originally? That sounds interesting.
3) Kamen Rider Durandal is the swordsman of time. However, there was a previous rumor that a sword of space will be appearing in the show.
Fanreader356: Don't worry, I have plans in the making.
howard567:
1) I hope that you have a enjoyable birthday despite these troubled times.
2) Captain Charlotte is indirectly connected to Wonder World and your in the right area with her relation to Asta.
3) Well, Nebra's and Solid's torment towards Noelle was mainly about her lack of control over her magic and I'm guessing that the two of them will likely feel awkward when they learn the truth about their mother's death.
4) Thank you very much for the potential synopsis for the Falchion arc.
TheOkWriter:
1) Thank you for pointing this out to me.
2) You managed to write a one-shot in a sort amount of time? Impressive.
DJ Toku:
1) Thank you for accepting the idea, but there's a small difference which is that Saber and Calibur used exactly the same God-Beast whilst the nine-tail fox and Kuzunoha are different Kitsunes.
2)...I find it creepy that I have a similar idea of having more villain Kamen Riders in the story.
3) Thanks for the type of sword idea.
Kamen Rider Yokai: Wonder-synchro? That sounds like a interesting concept.
Knightspark: I imagine that the dark half of Noelle's mind will be persuading her to inflict tons of pain towards Nebra and Solid for their mistreatment towards her.
Itspowertime:
1) Agreed, I skip the parts where Noelle's siblings bully her as well.
2) I think the last part of the chapter answers your question.
3) You are on the right lines about Charlotte knowing the previous Saber.
4) You just have to wait and see, Hehehehe.
5) Calibur:...Why do I have the feeling that someone in a different plain of existence has a rough idea of what I'm about to do?
6) I'm not sure yet, but thanks for the idea.
7) Master Logos making a deal with a devil...I can see that happening.
8) You know, I have the idea of a sword and shield type transformation device for Kamen Rider Laevateinn, the fanmade Kamen Rider you created, but thanks for the element of gravity and Wonder-Ride book idea.
9) I have a small idea that Master Logos will use multiple Wonder-Ride books to create the "Omni-Force" Wonder-Ride book in order to transform into Kamen Rider Solomon. So that's why the suit is made up of recycled parts.
10) Don't worry, I usually get reviews the day before posting another chapter.
