Chapter 215
There was one who walked upon the sky of crystal blue, and another who walked upon the river of blood.
It was a man who used his own flesh and skin as pages, densely engraving letters of blood upon them.
“…Is it truly necessary to go that far?”
Just then, the silent Black Knight spoke. Flap! Several night crows took flight from behind his back. As if prepared to unleash his power if necessary.
“This is no matter for the Black Lord to involve himself in.”
And blocking the Black Mage’s path was another spectator, the pinnacle of the White Mage Tower, the Celestial Mage.
“This is a duel agreed upon by both parties, and as such, it is protected by the laws of the Empire.”
“……”
“Ah, I won’t stop you from joining the fight.”
The Crimson Lord laughed, unconcerned.
“There’s nothing wrong with everyone here waging war for their respective rulers.”
The Shadow Camp and the Golden Camp.
“There’s no need for that, Count Black.”
Before the tense standoff, however, it was the Divine Sword Lancaster, the Grand Duke, who stood in the Black Count’s way.
“This is ultimately the karma I must bear.”
The pale, translucent blade of the Sky Piercing Sword in his hand scattered its sharp edge.
“I wanted to reach the heavens.”
“Your Highness…”
The Divine Sword—yet the man who truly deserved the name Heavenly Sword spoke. Revealing his avatar.
He was a knight of the heavens. A knight clad in armor shining like crystal, with wings of a bird. But he was never an angel.
