Chapter 32. Standing on a plain where ice and fire come together. (13)
Since the war in the North, the reputation of the Black Knight has been painful to the ears. However, Cain could not understand the reactions of the people around him at all.
‘It’s too suspicious even if it’s suspicious.’
They have jet-black hair that is said to be reserved only for the royal family, a full black outfit from head to toe, and even walking around creating strange corpses.
It was so suspicious that it was even gloomy. If he truly wanted to help the subjugation team, there was no need for him to hide and move.
So the image of the Black Knight in Cain’s mind is,
‘An unknown man dressed in black.’
It was about that.
And now that I actually met him,
Thump-thump-
My heart was pounding strangely violently.
From the moment he saw the black knight, from the moment his sword was aimed at him.
It was as if time and space between him and himself had stopped.
‘so… … .’
Cain finally understood why people called him the ‘Black Knight’.
A black knight looks down from atop a huge horse, leaving behind the gradually fading moonlight.
There was a chill that chilled my spine, a sense of alienation that never assimilated with my surroundings, and a weight that overwhelmed others.
-It makes you avoid eye contact.
“… … .”
Cain gave strength to his head that was about to droop down. And he looked straight at the Black Knight.
Grasping the cadenza even more tightly.
‘Even so, he’s just a human.’
If he cuts down a human or a monster, just burn him to death with a cadenza.
But ordinary people did not think that way.
“Oh, that black knight… … ?”
“Why is the moon suddenly… … .”
“Ugh! “It’s the Black Knight!”
There was a huge commotion among the Cain army.
There were many people, from those who were startled and stopped on the spot and died, to those who were in a hurry to find a way to escape.
On the other hand,
“Oh, you’re here… … !”
“The Black Knight has arrived!”
A wave of relief spread through the capital army.
The presence of the Black Knight revived their hearts that were on the verge of collapse.
Clang-
My hands, which had been slipping weakly, gained strength again,
Trudging.
My shaky legs stood firmly on the ground again.
“You just have to hold on a little longer!”
“We win!”
As the atmosphere reversed, the Capital Army drew on all its strength and began to push the Cain Army.
“Ugh… … !”
“Ugh!”
In contrast, the Cain army hesitated or kept looking back, which caused the battle line to be pushed back a few steps.
“shit.”
Cain took his eyes off the unfavorable situation. Then he looked back to where the black knight was.
‘… … does not exist?’
There was no one on the hill where the Black Knight stood.
“Where… … ?”
While Cain focused his eyesight to find the Black Knight,
Susss-
The moon disappeared behind a completely black shadow. In that place, only a hazy halo of light remained.
A sudden lunar eclipse took away all the light from the battlefield.
“Wake. Hey! “He’s an ally!”
“shit! “It’s too dark!”
There were people swinging their swords wildly without being able to tell the difference between what was coming and going, or people tripping and falling to the floor.
In the process, the battle line was pushed back a few steps.
“Shit!”
Only then did Cain realize that all of this was a ploy by the enemy.
Dokdo was mixed in with the food, and a surprise attack was carried out taking advantage of that gap.
And the presence of a black knight who is running toward the battlefield.
puck!
As the cadenza was swung roughly, Leah’s body floated upward.
“Huh!”
Leah rolled around in the air and landed on the floor.
Unlike the darkened battlefield, the area near Cain and Leah was as bright as day. It was thanks to the flames of the cadenza that fluttered non-stop.
So the color of joy that spread across Leah’s face was very visible.
“If the Black Knight comes, what do you think will change?”

Cain asked as if he were promising himself that something like that would never happen.
“One person can’t turn the tide of the war!”
“You’re right.”
Leah’s face was still bright as she agreed.
“If it’s ‘one person,’ then yes.”
“… … ?”
Cain frowned and clashed swords with Leah.
Something was strange.
Burbubbuk!
I’m steadily pushing Leah,
Kang!
Even though I am sure that I will win.
‘… … ‘What is this anxiety?’
One side of my chest kept getting cold and I had a bad feeling.
Somehow, I had a prescient feeling that it shouldn’t stay like this, that something was very wrong.
That premonition soon became a reality.
“Ugh!”
A sudden scream rose from outside the battlefield.
dump.
The soldier who screamed stiffened like a log and fell down. The soldier standing next to him looked back at his colleague.
“Hey, what are you doing-”
The soldier could not finish speaking.
thud.
His body also stiffened and fell to the floor.
“Ahh!”
This time a scream came from next to him. It was the sound of another soldier falling, who had not seen the two men.
“Oh my, what’s on the floor-”
The soldier who fell looked at the floor and closed his mouth. Because there was a black, twisted, completely dried body lying there.
“Off-”
The soldier opened his mouth to scream, but no sound came out.
thud-
Because his body also fell to the floor.
thud! thud!
Strange phenomena were occurring irregularly here and there outside the Cain army’s camp.
“W-what?!”
“Ju, Ju Ju is dead?”
A phenomenon in which comrades who had fought together just a few seconds ago turned into black, twisted corpses, lying on the floor.
Shock!
When I look back because it feels like something is passing by me,
“Huh!”
A colleague who has already passed away closes his eyes and breaks down.
thud!
The moment you turn around at the sound of someone falling,
“Kruk!”
I realize that something cold and hot is already splitting my uvula.
“Oh, that’s the Black Knight!”
“The Black Knight has passed by!”
There was great confusion among the Cain army.
The surroundings were dark and the air was noisy, and it was crazy to see a corpse appear every time I breathed in and out.
In particular, the corpse had a foul odor, as if it had been rotting for several years. It was the very distinct smell of death.
“Everyone stick together! “Look ahead!”
“I left the torch, but are you going to make some soup?”
Each leader shouted as they held their swords tightly. But it soon emerged that it was a meaningless order.
“Kwaeook!”
“Wow!”
One axis of the gathered soldiers collapsed. It wasn’t that they were separated from each other and were destroyed individually.
“Ugh… … .”
“Oops!”
The Black Knight didn’t care how many soldiers were gathered together.
Fast and simple at a constant pace. But completely and thoroughly.
Saaagh!
They slaughtered the Cain army, offering death.
Every time he appeared and disappeared, a pile of corpses piled up. Just by passing by him for a moment, victims came one after another.
The soldiers couldn’t follow him with their eyes.
Boom!
When I finally caught a glimpse of his back, he was gone in the blink of an eye.
puck!
If you looked straight ahead, it was already in front of you. The end, of course, was death without even being aware of it.
“Wow, a torch… … .”
Someone was trembling and clutching the torch tightly,
Suddenly!
The hand, holding the torch, left its owner.
Clap!
When it fell to the ground, it had already turned black and resembled a dried tree root.
“Juju, I don’t want to die!”
“Run away!”
Cain’s army became distraught and began to run away.
They die without even knowing how they die, and it happens in such a short period of time.
The abnormal fear that I might die even if I just breathe here grew rapidly.
“Hey, these guys!”
“Can’t we stop right now!”
The leaders stopped in place in confusion. However, it was not possible to call in soldiers who were out of their minds due to fear.
They sharpened their swords and felt the unusual changes taking place on the battlefield faster than the soldiers.
It wasn’t just the lunar eclipse that made my eyes dark. Something thick and sticky was encroaching on the surroundings.
The denser air presses down on your shoulders, and moisture so cold that it pools on the floor, soaking your feet.
“… … .”
The leaders swallowed their dry saliva.
Intense murderous energy was radiating precisely towards them.
Rather than randomly scattering the life around, it felt like it accurately measured the number of humans here and stabbed them one by one.
There are so many humans in this wide land. Is that possible?
The answer to that doubt soon came.
“Everyone stop!”
When the worse commander started chasing them with his horse,
Boom!
At that moment, something fell next to the horse he was riding.
“Pureung?”
The horse tilted its head, unaware of the situation. What was in the horse’s brown eyes was the twisted head of its owner.
The soldiers standing nearby were shocked.
“Even the leader suffered!”
The situation got even worse.
“Run away!”
“Aaaah!”
As the leader disappeared, the soldiers began to flee without hesitation.
Right then.
“Where are you running away?”
A strange voice that seems to have come from the pit of hell. The Black Knight stood in front of them.
Sigh!
His sword pierced the opponent’s neck.
“Kill them all!”
And he bravely brandished his sword and shouted.
“Waaah!”
“Help our military!”
A huge roar surrounded the camp and narrowed in. They were soldiers who ran after the black knight.
“Come this way!”
“We are over there!”
Knights on horseback led them. As if they had already agreed with each other, they each ran towards their designated location.
Bub bub bub!
Suddenly!
The newly appeared soldiers mercilessly cut down the Cain army.
The spear was rammed into the back as it turned to escape, and its flailing limbs were cut off.
“Cough…” … .”
“Ugh… … .”
The Cain soldiers could not even resist and fell to the ground. As time passed, the number of Cain soldiers began to decline rapidly.
“… … !”
The color drained from Cain’s face.
In an instant, the situation was completely overturned.
In front, the capital army pushed forward with their spears, and in the middle, the black knight jumped here and there, stirring the formation.
Meanwhile, newly appeared soldiers were putting pressure on them from behind.
The worst scenario imaginable was unfolding. I didn’t know that I would be surrounded and captured like this, or even killed.
“Ugh!”
Bennett’s scream reached Cain’s ears.
“Long time no see?”
A young male knight was pushing Bennett with his sword.
“you!”
Bennett opened his eyes wide. Because the knight’s grinning face was familiar to my eyes.
“Of the Knights of Ovest-”
“My name is Hayden.”
Hayden, who introduced himself, flashed his eyes.
“This time I see you as an enemy.”
They had already fought as one side in the northern subjugation war. Although the positions then and now were very different.
Wow! Kang!
Hayden put a lot of pressure on Bennett. Bennett let out a rough breath and barely managed to block his sword.
“Bennett-”
The moment Cain turned his attention to that,
Kak!
Aria barely brushed the tip of his ear.
“dare!”
Cain immediately turned around and vented his anger.
If he hadn’t even thought about trying to save Leah, he would have cut her down and defeated the capital army long ago.
I was angry at myself for making the wrong decision, and I was also angry at Leah for clinging to me so stubbornly.
It didn’t really matter anymore. He was planning on killing everyone, including Arya.
“-!”
Leah, who sensed a change in Cain’s mood, stiffened her body.
Trudging.
The moment Cain was about to take a step toward her, a tingling, deadly feeling grabbed the back of his neck.
“–!”
Cain hurriedly looked back.
Doo doo doo doo!
The black knight was running straight towards him. With a black cloak waving and a pitch-black sword drawn.
“… … “Black knight!”
Cain turned away from Leah and towards the Black Knight. His red eyes sparkled with burning anger.
