Brone was keeping a stern gaze on the golden figure, wondering what kind of combat abilities he had. Then Yuurei questioned the meeting of him and the gnome,
"Oh, uh, we met during one of my patrols and we just started hanging out" the dwarf shrugged, for he couldn't really make their meeting anyway interesting, for it was just another sunday, nothing special had happened. Then the sword-shield had floated right by Brone's ear; the dwarf could swear he felt a deep sigh tickle the hairs on his earlobe which sent a chill up his spine. A part of him guessed Benimaru wanted to be introduced too, but the creeped out dwarf ignored the ghost-like equipment and went back to the banter between the 'champions' and the golden raider from another world.
Yuurei had denounced the title of 'champion' as well in an epic statement, though the dwarf felt out of place for he was the only one that didn't deny the claim,
"Is it ok for me to be a champion?" he muttered but let the question fall away as he realized that wasn't important to the situation.
The golden figure returned the banter, though didn't seem as interested; actually he seemed bored entirely. When he spoke directly to Brone, the dwarf's chest swelled with pride,
Makin' friends is one of mah special abilities" though he realized how unimpressive his statement sounded right after he said it, he did his best not to show any expression of regret.
When the golden figure mention that none of the country's civilians were killed, Brone sighed in relief, but he was entirely confused by what was explained after.
They never existed in the first place. Such a thought gave him a bit of a headache as he tried to comprehend that statement,
"But... they were here... so they existed... but then they are not... so..." he wanted to scratch his head, but his hands were full, so thankfully Gnicholas the gnome stood on the dwarf's shoulder and scratched his head for him. Then the golden figure mentioned something about the usage of mana to move his home, to which the dwarf wondered why didn't he simply hire movers to help him, but he pushed that to the side in order to try and keep up with the conversation.
Kaito continued to verbally bash the enemy, which helped Brone understand a bit since the dragon slayer decided to practically explain that the golden enemy was insulting them, stating they "knew nothing". Brone wanted to return the insult but realized the entire conversation had escaped him... so the enemy actually had a partial point, the dwarf wasn't aware of the majority of the situation... so he kept his insult to himself.
This was too complicated for the dwarf and it seems Gnicholas wasn't offering to explain anything and Benimaru just wanted to breath down his neck instead of actually speaking... if it was able to, so the dwarf spoke up.
"I be Brone Heavyaxe, also known as the Shield of Dawn, Champion-" he stopped midsentence and remembered that Kaito and Yuurei denounced the term 'champion',
"Protector of Fiore!" he then pointed his black axe at the golden figure,
"Golden Jackal! I do not understand what you mean by existing and not-existing, nor do I understand your here-and-there magic, but if we defeat you, would those souls continue to exist again?... as if they already existed?... despite not existing in the first place?... though they existed first, so... despite not existing in the second place?""Alright, you can stop now" Gnicholas leaned against Brone's face and covered his mouth with one of his hands.
A black magic circle appeared then in front of the gnome, then before the dwarf could even spot the circle, a black arrow made of condensed magical darkness then shot out of the magic circle at great speed which then darted across the golden platform that was once the throne room.
As the arrow darted for the golden jackal, Brone kicked off, rushing towards the golden dark raider with his axes in his main hand. His left secondary hand had his blue spear and his right secondary hand had the golden spear. After 2 seconds, the dwarf was already at his top speed, and by the third second, the dwarf would already close the distance between him and the foe, so he made his first move by swinging his black axe horizontally at the enemy while jabbing the golden spear at him as well.
