BLACK MOON - Black Magic War Beginning with Jailbreak - [Full story illustration available]

Episode 6: Bonds/Connections

When Lili was meeting with the Abbies, Isaac Restore was walking all over the city of Elixis, the capital.

"Hey! What's the mess?

"Father"

A voice that holds Isaac back as he always walked. It belonged to Isaac's father.

Isaac's father is one of the M-12's, Roland Oktober. His real name was Roland Restore. Like Isaac, he was a man characterized by brown skin, white hair and sunglasses.

What makes it very different from Isaac is its physique. His father's body was musculoskeletal and worked out.

"Weren't you in Diostra? What are you doing in Sertria?

"It's none of your business. I'm not Father Zura-san right now. I'm gonna throw up."

"Whoa, whoa. I haven't seen you in a long time, but you're a lot dry. You look better than anything."

"I'm upset that you're looking good."

Between the parents and children, who had not seen each other in a long time, there was a tingling air. It's usually blatant Isaac, but it reveals anger in front of Roland.

That looks like a bell with Johann in front of it. I guess my mentor is something similar.

"What the... I'm busy. I don't have time for you."

"I think I'm busier than you, huh? Because it's M-12."

"Just get out of my sight. I thought you were in Valentis.

"Oh, my God, you know so well! Exactly. I'm being sent to Valentis right now to search for Elba."

"Then why are you in Elixis? You're negligent, aren't you?

"I'm just going home to get my things. Besides, Elba, I'm not surprised to hear the word, you."

"Don't be surprised? Rumors like that will come around soon."

"According to the other M-12, you'd be calling out to all kinds of guys, so would that be the case? As you know, Elba's resurrection has become a reality. This is an emergency. It's been a crisis since the Knights of the Black Mages began."

For the Elba search, Roland Oktober should have been sent to Valentis, but his appearance was now in the capital, Elixis. Is it a coincidence or inevitability that he is in the capital?

"So what is it? I'm not gonna talk to you for nothing."

"Somewhere in this, I say it's futile. It's an extremely important story. You may not like me, but listen to me for a second."

……………

"I'll take that silence as an admission. Valentis is the first land where the Knights and Elba made contact. Bell Queer Faust and Captain Dissenber encountered Elba on an appointed mission. But inexplicably, Gregoria-like hypervision (super-vision) didn't work at all during that time.

In other words, only the captain and Faust hold the information when they come into contact with Elba. You seem to know Faust very well, but have you heard anything?

"You know what, you just have to hear it from Knight. Bell's in the hospital, and he's still not in a decent position to talk. I didn't ask anything."

What the M-12 is asking for is naturally information about Elba. Isaac, who cuts white, answers briefly and tries to leave the spot.

"Wait, wait, wait. I'm asking you because I can't get enough information from the captain. Tell April, the captain was lying about something during the mission report. Looks like Gregorio finally decided to trust the captain, but I can't trust him anymore."

"Why can't I trust you about Knight? He's been working hard for the Knights, hasn't he?

Roland grabbed Isaac's arm as he tried to walk away. Isaac, who for one moment gave up fleeing from before Roland, waves his father's arm away and turns back to him.

"Indeed, the captain is more loyal to Master Gregorio than anyone else and is undoubtedly stronger than anyone else in the M-12. That's why I don't think he was able to pull any information from Elba."

"Really, maybe you couldn't pull any information out of it. By and large, you are overconfident. [M] If we think we're the strongest ever, it hurts, right?

"Indeed, Elba is a powerful man who scratches Gregorian supervision. Maybe Elba has power far beyond us. Still, how can a captain who uses such an invincible fantasy (regro) not be able to grasp any information?

"Surely Knight's fantasy (regro) is too bad. But even he couldn't get any information. That's reality."

"No, I knew the captain was hiding something... you too"

⁉ ︎

"What a surprised face. Not long before the captain and Faust came back to Elixis, did you come back from Valentis to Elixis? Why were you in Valentis, too? You know something about Elba, don't you?

Isaac's face blues at once. After all, Roland didn't come back to King's Capital to pick up his forgotten things. We are returning to the King's Capital to explore the connections of the new rebels.

"You're not supposed to know what I am. I was just going to Valentis looking for ingredients for the Devil's Sword. You suspect me just because you happen to be in Valentis close?

"So what was that surprised face earlier? Huh? It looked like you were blue to me. I thought you were hiding something.

"You don't look after me properly. What do you know about me? Mostly, you don't know how to look over sunglasses."

"No, I know. I have the same“ eyes ”as you, don't I? You thought you could hide your expression with sunglasses, Bowes."

"You're kidding me! All you're saying from now on is unfounded speculation. I'm not saying it's appropriate. I don't know anything. That's all the truth is."

"I get it. I'll leave the interrogation at this. I'll just tell you this.

What if you're about to blade the Knights? At that time, I will stand before you. Me and your blade will bump into each other. Just remember that. "

The gaze that hits over the sunglasses. The M-12 is beginning to realize the fact that someone connected to Elba is nearby. Perhaps it is in the not so distant future that Roland's words become a reality.

Around the same time, Knight's appearance was in the library. He was visiting the largest, Wilhelm Library in the Kingdom of Serbia. It is one of the most important establishments located in the King's capital, Elixis.

What Knight took was a thick book titled "The Track of the Knights of Black Mages (Grigori)”. I guess I'm doing some digging to get some tips on unlocking the "chain of loyalty”.

"Captain! Are you looking into it?

"Elliot, are you looking into this too?

"Yes, even if it's trivial, I was hoping I could get some information that would lead to Elba."

In the library Knight met one Elliot September of the M-12. Unlike Roland, he was originally the Wang Du Residual Group.

He's a boy who takes a serious impression from his short cut black hair and his intelligent glasses. Elliot looks young and looks about the same age as Bell.

"What is a captain like that looking into?" The Black Mages (Grigori) Knights Track. "... Why would you have a Knights book?

Early on in the encounter, Elliot turns his suspicious attention to Knight, a situation that was extremely unnatural for Knight to be looking into about the Knights at a time when there was no one left and the Knights humans were making a leap to grab Elba's tail.

"To know your enemy, start with your allies. It's tough in case you get to bump into Elba. That's why I wanted to deepen my understanding of the Knights once again for the worst."

"Really..."

Unlike Isaac, Knight never changed his expression in any way, even if he was suspected. The presence of Elba beside him, who gives advice, may also be a great help to him through this place.

"Captain. Were you lying then?

"What's the sudden matter, Elliot? Everything was just like I said then. April's just suspicious."

"Are you sure? Then why did April raid Faust? I don't think April's that stupid, either."

"April would have been scolded by Master Gregorio, wouldn't he? After all, it's all her mistake. I must have regretted being denied my talent for sniffing lies."

"Indeed, April, he was badly scolded. So is it still my mistake..."

"A misunderstanding?"

"Why can't you grab Elba's tail like this when both Gregorio and we are searching for him as hard as we can? It's still weird that information is still unavailable so far"

Elba's operation was going well, but it left Elliot September suspicious. The Knights of Black Mages (Grigori) have a selection of Black Mages (Grigori). No matter how much such elite people look for, they can't even get a clue about Elba.

"Captain, don't you know something about Elba? With the power of Dreamer, I don't think you could have gotten any information.

If you couldn't grasp the information, I just don't think you could grasp it, you didn't try to. What the hell happened in Valentis?

……………

"Why don't you say something? I joined the Knights admiring you and climbed up to the M-12. At all times, I've lived on your back. I don't want to think about you working treachery on the Knights like that. That can't be right.

... Answer me!

"Elliot... there's actually something we weren't talking about then. Elba might be able to use the same force as my dreamer. I couldn't control his dreams. That's why I couldn't get any information."

"⁉ … Why didn't you tell me such important information in front of everyone ⁉?"

Well, Knight exposed important information to Elliot himself. Human beings on the Knights' side still know nothing about Elba's power. Elliot, knowing Elba's abilities, could not forbid surprises.

"That's right, Elliot, because I'm not going to teach anyone. Previously, always will be..."

⁉ ︎

Shortly after he leaked Elba's abilities, Knight touched Elliot's forehead. Not long after he resisted, by the power of Knight, Elliot fell into a coma.

"That... what am I doing"

When she woke up from her sleep, Elliot spread out many books and sat at the library desk.

"Elliot, are you sleeping here? The harder you try, the better."

"Captain... are you looking into it too?

Apparently, Elliot, from where he met Knight, was erased from his memory.

At this time, in Knight's hands was a book entitled "The Truth About the Elba Empire”. Knight left all the conversations he had with Elliot earlier. Night's Black Magic (Grimoire) can erase inconvenient memories.

"Oh. Everyone's working hard, so I have to work hard, too."

"Let's grab Elba's tail together!

As time goes by, I look to the brace river.

There was a very suspicious shadow on the surface of the water a little far from the largest port in the kingdom.

"Betrayal, betrayal... betrayal is not tolerated"

A creepy voice is heard along with the sound of bubbles that can play on the water.

Then one woman who also loses time and shows her face on the water. brown skin, and suspiciously radiant orange eyes.

Above all, the characteristic was long hair. Several thick bundles of hair drift across the water. That's like a terrible octopus leg.

"Betrayal, betrayal..."

Repeating the same words, the mysterious woman slowly ascends to land.

When I went up to land, for the first time, her whole body was exposed. What she was wearing was a Red Knights outfit.

The name of the M-12 being dispatched to Brace River is Ursula Augusto.

"Betrayal, betrayal... the traitor sinks to the bottom of the sea"

One groaning Augusto's eyes were running bloody. Who the hell does she mean by "traitor”? Perhaps it's just a matter of time before the M-12 realizes what Elba and the others think.
