Chapter 190
The time has come.
As he spoke, Dale shattered the castle’s glass window and shot a crimson flame toward the night sky. It was a magical flare used to send surprise signals on the battlefield.
Despite the cold coursing through his body, the furnace within his world still burned fiercely. The essence of fire and crimson magic that had once devoured and absorbed countless Purifiers during the War of Roses.
The signal echoed out, and simultaneously, an ominous darkness of dark magic settled over the entire interior.
It wasn’t Dale’s.
“I knew this would happen.”
“Ah, ahhh…!”
A scream echoed through the room. The maid trembled in terror at the sound, and Lady Shadow addressed her.
“There is no need to fear.”
Slowly lifting the visor of her black helmet, the maiden’s smile greeted the maid from within.
“I swear by the sister goddesses’ kindness and mercy that I will protect you.”
“Ah, ahh…! Thank you!”
“……”
After invoking the Sister Goddess’s name, Aurelia lowered her helmet’s visor once more. The jet-black warrior, shrouded in dark armor, channeled a crimson aura blade along the length of her sword.
At the same time, footsteps echoed from afar. Not just one pair, but many pairs racing swiftly.
“Lady Aurelia, protect her.”
Simultaneously, Dale too was enveloped by the Shadow Lord’s avatar. It was armor of darkness and cold, interwoven with black and blue, and at the same moment, the Shadow Lord turned its head, possessing the ‘Eye of Truth’.
