Chapter 113
Synchronize of Darkness.
The two artifacts of darkness, existing respectively as the Shadow Cloak and the Name of Hunger, are merging into a single artifact.
Dale’s Shadow Prosthetic Arm, by volunteering as the gear mechanism that interlocks the two artifacts.
Just as gears mesh with precision, the two artifacts interlock as one, drawing out synergy beyond their sum.
Furthermore, while Dale’s formidable will was crucial for fusing and controlling the artifact of darkness, it was even more due to the presence of a single, definitive focal point binding the gears together.
The four circles encircling Dale’s heart, and the jet-black tentacles deeply rooted within that heart and those circles. Another source of black magic possessed by Dale the mage.
The Book of the Black Goat.
Optimizing the interlocking of his possessed power, Dale raised his head.
His old beloved sword, Peacemaker, was already charging forward.
A knight’s sword wielded by harnessing the aura within his body. It was also the strike of the sword prodigy, Mikhail Lancaster, said to be closest to the continent’s Seven Swords.
The mage had given the knight distance. No, from the start, the distance between them was more than enough to seal defeat for an ordinary mage.
Clang!
Despite this, the sound of steel clashing echoed. The sound of breaths being swallowed could be heard everywhere.
At least here in the Duchy of Saxony, no one doubts Dale’s extraordinary talent. But his opponent was none other than Michael Lancaster, hailed as the empire’s greatest swordsman!
