This left Lady of the Masquerade extremely tense.
In her panic, she had no choice but to say to one of the Golden Dawn members, "...Gardner, you will act as the 'Emperor,' while I will serve as the guide!"
"...The rest of you will perform the duties of the Priest, the Defender, and the Cupbearer according to your positions!"

--It was Mercury!
Although Lady of the Masquerade was human, magic was the very art of creating miracles.
In human form, she manipulated Mercury's astral spirit, thereby unleashing its full-force strike through a human body!
