Enjoyed the fight between Percy and Kellie. The emphasis on Cernunnos' horn makes me feel like the one in Liones is gonna come back into play. And we get the expected explanation, that Ardbeg wasn't lying when he spoke to Anne. Anne being able to keep up with him isn't surprising, since most of the Knights of Chaos don't seem to be on the level of Ironside. Additionally, he could not be seriously fighting her. The examples he gives seem too specific to just be random backstories. Not a surprise Percy was able to combine his magic with his sword. Still seems unclear where the Elder stands with our heroes... Sin didn't seem concern, but it is kind of hard to tell with him.
Could be a similar situation as with the Reactors from the previous series, with relatively weak knights were given a power-up through an external power to be on par with much stronger holy knights. It would explain their zealous loyalty to Arthur.I like how Ardbeg is being used to make the antagonists more sympathetic. I'm curious if the three tragedies he mentioned will have some relevance to the story. They sound like potential backstories of some of the Knights of Chaos, in fact the grieving father looks a lot like Ardbeg himself. However, I'm not sure if some ordinary civilians could just decide to become holy knights one day. The kids maybe since they would have started training at a young age, but the woman couldn't even lift some rubble and Ardbeg was apparently just a normal hunter in the past. Maybe that explains why he has to rely on a mythical beast to fight and struggles to defeat Anne on his own? He was never holy knight material to begin with.
