Chapter 161
Even if the immortal knight Frederick appeared, and even if the 7th Circle white mage Borinus had died, nothing would change.
The church forces that had shattered the crusaders’ cause and attacked Dale’s troops still remained there…
At the same time, Dale’s father, the Black Duke, was also present.
Though he now inhabits the body of a twelve-year-old boy, his imposing presence is undoubtedly diminished in many ways compared to before. Yet the essence within that body remains unchanged.
The battle was not yet over.
Although both sides’ forces were facing off at a distance, following Dale’s orders, it was merely a momentary truce born from an unexpected, unforeseen turn of events.
And after that unexpected situation concluded, the father and son of Saxony were there.
“No matter how dire the situation, I never imagined the church’s forces would attack us.”
It was undoubtedly an act of betrayal committed within Saxony’s territory, and they likely intended to frame Dale’s fate as a regrettable tragedy that unfolded within the Demon King’s domain.
It was a sight that didn’t even elicit a laugh.
The Black Duke raised his head.
“Thank you, Father.”
It was at that very moment. Amidst the tense standoff between the two forces, Dale spoke without hesitation.
The Immortal Lord Frederick was a monster among monsters, one even the current Dale dared not confront.
At last, he could truly grasp how vast this world was and how much of a frog in a well he had been.
