Chapter 3: Black Moon (Chapter 3: The Dark Side Of The Moon)

Episode 1: The Knight In the Night/Knight Knight

The town of Renato, unchanged in phase and wrapped up in a long night. There was a pair of people descending from the high cliffs leading to the town and aiming for a tower that could cover the centre.

Tonight's sky seems clear only to my heart. Returning to this filthy town of Renato are two members of the Moon Guard (Luna Guard). It's Benjamin and Jim.

Revenge served over great sacrifice. Benjamin had already lost a lot of things. He has nothing to lose anymore. Benjamin's body aimed at the Moon Tower was worn out. Whoever burns his whole body is forced to move his full, creative body. Still, his face is calm with vengeance.

Benjamin, who has lost his eyesight completely, is walking with his hands drawn to the gym. On the other hand there was a round one wrapped in a cloth.

If you look closely, that cloth also looks like the sandy robe Bell wore. In it, what is wrapped?

The townspeople who were out there looking round their eyes when they saw Benjamin full of blood and coal. They have no idea that the Pope is already dead, nor that Benjamin fought death with Bell.

Eventually, the two of them reached the Moon Tower. Benjamin moves forcibly through his body, which is even losing its senses, while aiming up.

Benjamin, who was wounded, lost his vision and burned all over his body, was not in pain. The pain he had was beyond his limits. It's not weird when you die anymore. The only thing that is moving him is his thoughts on the Pope. Above the tower, a blackened pope awaits. Benjamin was full of what he held in his right hand, in a desire to give to the Pope.

Waiting for the two of us who finally reached the top of the tower was the Pope who, it goes without saying, became black scorched.

The Renato patriarch Cornelia Magdas Giocarto was burned to death by the demon Arrosha.

While killed by the demon Arrosha, the Pope's remains were untouched. The townspeople do not know the Pope's death as one, and the Moon Guard (Luna Guard) is busy chasing atheists, and no one provided for his remains.

Benjamin returned to the town of Renato as soon as possible within the Moon Guard (Luna Guard).

In an attempt to provide for the Pope, he approaches his wreckage while being taken to the gym. Just as Raleigh and Riley did, so too is Benjamin, I guess, one saved by the Pope.

"The Pope...... I finally got my revenge. I give my neck to the man who took your life."

Having felt the Pope in front of him, Benjamin takes one knee and worships the Pope, who has become black scorched.

And I gave him what he had in his right hand.

Slowly appearing from a stripped sandy cloth was the head of the blood-stained Belle Quille Faust. Now Bell's face, the whole thing is dyed red. I can tell for sure that's Belle because I can see the blonde hair dyed hard in the blood.

After Elixirs' death fight in the alley, Bell was pinched in the neck by Benjamin's Neck Eater and his neck was taken as it was.

This was the end of Bell Quill Faust. The life of a 17-year-old boy caught up in “Black Moon," who came with a spectacular life, finally closed the curtain. It was the most tragic of times. Because they took my neck as a vendetta.

The boy's life closed without being able to reach the headquarters of the Knights of the Black Mages (Grigori), to avenge his father, to find the key to lift Lili's mother's curse, or even to return Allen to Adford.

Is this a good time for an innocent boy to meet? That was too ruthless. Sedona to Hamel for helping Jake escape, and Raleigh for helping by squeezing his last force. The thoughts of all those people have been wasted. What will happen to Lili and Allen, who were belled and yi (hagged) in the night elixirs?

Perhaps Bell was prepared somewhere for this to happen more than a demon with no specialty lurking in his body.

A sin I don't remember at all killed Bell. It was the devil who killed the Pope, not man. But the retribution came back to man. Totally unbelievable and ruthless.

Benjamin placed Bell's face, breathless with a painfully stuffy look, towards the Pope.

Then the morning sun began to shine over the moon tower as if the moon guard (Luna Guard) admiring the pope was clearing his mind. No matter where anyone takes their life, it's the same today and the night breaks. Even if it's ruthless, that's what the world is all about.

Lili and Allen, who don't even know where Elixis is, won't even know that Bell is dead, but they are equally in the morning. Morning comes equally to those who are dead and to those who live.

The tower of the moon, illuminated by the morning sun, was sparkling with joy and vanity.

Gachan......

Bell, who was ready to die and meditating with his eyes, had left his consciousness in the dark.

Am I dead...?

Bell couldn't tell if he was alive or dead. Bell hasn't opened his eyes since he heard the metal noise. He wasn't in pain at all, but maybe that's to say he died before he even felt the pain.

Either way, I can't check my condition at all times as it is.

……………

Bell, determined, opened his eyes with momentum.

Then there was still the shape of Benjamin's ghost in front of him. For some reason, his body hasn't made it slight. Just as Benjamin's figure was there, so was Neck Eater, who was held in his hand, naturally in the same place as just now.

I looked left and right and for some reason Neck Eater's zig-zagged blade looked more distant from my neck than it had just been.

I think I can move my body somewhat and even get out now. Bell couldn't understand what had happened and didn't move the scene. Or because this was the most familiar event I've ever felt of death, I can't move because of the fear that lingers in my body.

"You, Belle Quelle Faust, are you?"

Then someone speaks to Bell, who is confused and unable to think about anything. The voice certainly does not belong to Benjamin. If the voice is neither Benjamin's nor Jim's, how could the person have broken into this rotten flame?

"Who?

As Bell turns around and tries to see the person's face, something pointy hits his neck muscle. We cannot confirm the Lord of that voice as it is.

"Get out of there first"

"But..."

Bell tried to argue, but now he's right. It's first to escape the blade of Neck Eater.

Bell, unable to move much left or right, succumbed and got out of the impending pair of blades. Benjamin never moved while he was doing this, and Neck Eater stopped moving perfectly.

"What the hell..."

In front of Bell, who raised his face, stood a young man with a righteous face. His dark hair, graceful wavy. He is dressed in the uniform of the Knights of the Black Mages (Grigori). Such a beautiful young man had a cool face even surrounded by burning rotting flames. From his blue eyes, he could see so much calm that he seemed to quell the rotting flames spreading around him.

"You wonder why you're not dead. Look at him."

Bell looks back at Benjamin as the man tells him.

What was there was an incredible sight. Benjamin, sticking out a neck eater divided into two strands, stops moving perfectly as if time had stopped. Benjamin, whose whole body is covered in bright red burns, never moves even a millimeter of expression.

If you look closely, the Neck Eater blade in his grip was certainly slightly more open than when he was pinching the bell neck. The metal noise that just rang in Bell's ear was probably the sound that Neck Eater once opened wide to amputate Bell's neck.

With the momentum open, Neck Eater and Benjamin had completely stopped moving. Bell couldn't believe the sight.

"What do you mean?

I understand that Benjamin has stopped moving completely, but Bell doesn't understand why this situation is happening.

"This is my fantasy (regro) black magic (grimoire). I'm tying this guy up in the dream world. In other words, it binds his spirit"

"Tie the spirit? Can you do that..."

"That was dangerous. If I hadn't found you, you would have died. I need you. It's good to find you before you die."

………………

"Oh, it doesn't mean anything weird. My name is Night Dissenber, captain of the Knights of the Black Mages (Grigori) Knights, unit M-12. Commando, Gregorio needs you."

Finally the mysterious man Knight reveals who he is. He is part of the Knights of Black Mages (Grigori) that Bell was looking for, which also seems to be a pretty great figure.

"Huh? That's..."

"I'll explain the situation slowly later. I dare you to leave this alley and wait. [M] I need a little help here."

"Wait a minute. Can you absorb this rot flame?

"I don't mind."

Allowed to absorb rot flames (Hmm), Bell walks to every corner of the alley to absorb rot flames (Hmm) one after the other.

"Is that enough?

"Yes."

Having finished absorbing almost all the rotting flames (Hmm), Bell honestly followed this alley, as Knight told him. I was in a mood now, and Bell could only do as he was told.

The burning rot flame (Hmm) disappeared beautifully. The alley is perfectly clear, and you can see Jim fainting and Benjamin still better.

"Now, what shall we do with their aftermath..."

Knight, who remained in one alley, had a suspicious grin.

Bell left the alley as Knight told me, but when I left the alley I couldn't help but wonder what was going on there.

Bell goes back and tries to find out what Knight is doing to the Benjamins.

"Is that it?"

But there was nothing there. Perhaps Knight used some kind of magic. There was no one in that place where Bell returned. Why did Knight dazzle himself from Bell?

By that time, Bell didn't see it, but at the end of the alley, there were Night, Benjamin, and Jim. There is a continuing situation where you cannot move freely except for Knight.

……………

Benjamin was supposed to have stopped moving completely in that situation, but I felt like that finger with the neck eater had moved pickly.

".....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Benjamin, who could not move at all and should not be able to speak, suddenly spoke. Not only that, but the stationary body began to shake in small pieces.

Benjamin had no idea what the situation was. He has amputated Bell's neck and assumes that he returned to Renato to give that neck to the Pope.

Having regained consciousness, Benjamin even tries to unravel the curse of high-difficulty fantasy (regro) black magic (grimoire). Is this the strength of the avenging ghost obsession?

"This surprised me. I didn't know you could hear me tie up with my black magic (Grimoire). I was dreaming about you. Dream of the future you want."

Knight tells the stunned truth here. It was all a dream that Knight showed that Benjamin took Bell's neck and gave it to the Pope. It seems that the power of Night's fantasy (regro) can make dreams so illusory with reality.

"Huh... to...?

"With that said... you guys, Belle, are trying to avenge you, aren't you?

Seeing Benjamin, who still doesn't understand the situation, Knight changes the subject.

And only slightly weakened the restraint caused by fantasy (regro) so that Benjamin could hear his mouth without being forced.

"Trying to? Whatever you say, revenge has already been served. Faust's neck is being brought back to Renato."

Still envisioning dreams as reality, Benjamin laughs off Knight.

"So it's a dream."

What did you do?

"I just had a little restraint on you and had a dream,"

"............... if you hadn't come, I would have killed that man for so long. Right now, but enough to break this abominable curse and go kill him."

Having put aside some time to finally understand what Knight is saying, Benjamin is reminded that he has not yet been able to snap Bell's neck. If only Knight hadn't shown up, Benjamin's revenge would have been fulfilled.

"That would be good, too. It's just that it's not you, Belle, that you guys really want to kill, it's the devil Arrosha. It was Arrosha who killed the Pope."

"Hey, how do you know that?

Benjamin can't hide his surprise. For some reason this man knows the death of the Pope, who should not have informed anyone. Benjamin felt like he was being seen through his mind.

………………

"He's a necessary presence for us from now on. I will never let you kill me. However, the time will soon come for the demon Arrosha to be released from your body, Belle. You just have to take revenge then."

What the hell does it mean that Arrosha will be released from Bell's body in the near future? The truth about that can only be known to Knight.

"I don't care about that! I just want to take revenge right now and give the Pope his neck."

"Huh... you have no choice"

When Knight sighed unfortunately, a little later Benjamin fell to the ground powerless.

Neck Eater, who was held in that hand, shut his mouth as soon as he left Benjamin's hand.

As Bell waited for Knight where he left off the alley, he saw four people dressed in the same outfit as Knight rushing in from the other side of the alley toward the end of the line. I don't know about Bell at this time, but what Bell saw was a member of the Knights of Black Mages (Grigori).

"Take these people to Renato, gentlemen."

"Yes, sir."

As the four Black Mage (Grigori) knights rushed into the end of the alley saluted Knight, they quickly began to lift down Benjamin and Jim's body.

Having confirmed that, Knight finally leaves the scene and walks out to Bell's waiting area.

"Hey, you kept me waiting."

Knight smiled as usual when he showed up in front of the bell as if nothing had happened.

"Um..."

"Don't you dare move."

Bell had a heap of things he wanted to ask Knight.

But Knight blocks Bell's words and is about to leave this place for a moment. To the attitude of the ignored but similar Knight, Bell bent Heso.
