Seeing that Bai Qixue was about to break through the defensive line single-handedly, Byron growled, "What are you doing? I told you to come here, not to attend a party. Take this seriously!"
He was speaking to the Black Knights.

The Black Knights were containing their Holy Projections, gaining physiques and abilities close to those of Saints for a short time.
