Crusade the flock of goblins lurking in the woods.

That should have been an easy task if you had tried to make it into the Knights of Magic and Western Crusades of the Kingdom of the Rhine.

In fact, the mission was completed without even issuing one injured person.

All we had to do was return.

But something unexpected happened as I tried to get out of the woods.

There was a distortion of time and space (Abyss Gate) on the fence.

Nevertheless, she - Chloe, the chief of the Knights, is a wizard of war.

I've seen these things happen a few times, and if you calm down and deal with them, there's no problem.

Such confidence was dispelled at the next moment.

Jumping out of the distortion of time and space is the legendary monster known alongside the Demon King, The Dark Emperor (Dark Road) -

It was the Dark Knight!

The moment he saw that disastrous appearance, Chloe was ready to die.

I read about the Dark Knight in the dossier.

- Dark armor, as if it embodied evil, attributes every attack to nothing.

- Black swords of disastrous shape are scared when they cleave the mountains in one swing.

- Black horses with knights are said to drive the world overnight.

Such legendary demons were last confirmed a hundred years ago. At that time, more than a hundred victims were left in the dossier to pick up.

Besides, each person who died in battle was equal to or more powerful than Chloe.

The Dark Knight in front of me is a hundred years old. That's a very small individual - but in just twelve Knights it's too scarce as a force of war.

That's why Chloe was ready to die.

"Yes, what the hell am I supposed to do!?

The Commander must not lack calm. Otherwise, you will disturb your men.

But in this situation, it's pointless.

Because my men are lying on the ground alone.

The moment he saw the Dark Knight, he unleashed all his magic and lost his mind.

'What are you doing, Ningen? Don't be frightened, make me feel more happy. I don't need to hesitate. Call me with your whole body. "

A pitch-black mask - the sound of the ground ringing from behind it.

Highly intelligent demons manipulate human language. With the Dark Emperor dead, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Dark Knight is the demon that will inherit after the Demon King.

The intelligence and force of the Dark Knight is no less pale than that of the Demon King.

"Ki, I'm not afraid of demons like you!

Chloe carved the rune with her trembling hands and unleashed an oversized ice spear (Ice Lance).

Chloe's keepsake, the only praise my predecessor, who was my master and my boss, gave me.

Pachywyn!!

But the ice spear shattered the moment it touched the knight's armor.

Chloe despairs of ice dust dancing in the dark night.

"Boring. What a tedious doomsday, with a hundred years of time, to grow but to degenerate. He would have sang about the peace at the beginning of the tentative period and lacked training."

The worst scenario comes to mind behind Chloe's brain in her mouth as if she had fought humans in the past.

"No way, you were the Dark Knight a hundred years ago!? So, but it was written in the dossier that we crusaded!

"Stupid! There's no way this my- Black Emperor (Black Road) is going to lose out on the Ningen style! My beloved horse can run through different spaces!

"Running through different spaces!?

In other words, the Dark Knight, the Black Emperor, can create distortions in time and space at his will.

A hundred years ago, people just thought the Black Emperor had vanished without a trace!

'I thought you'd entertain me a little more, but this won't even spare me time! You gave me a chance to grow up last time, but it doesn't seem to weaken! It can't be held from the edge by Ningen, the qualities that we combine!

and the Black Emperor pulled out his sword.

"With my black sword, you will wipe out this land!

"Oh, no... I won't let you!

"Stop laughing! Your power is known! No, you're not the only one! I can see how vulnerable Ningen is to you! It's not worth living for a weak species! More than my return, Ningen is doomed!

"Well, that's not going to happen! Even if you kill me here, you will be defeated by him - by Master Ash!

'Nonsense! What a crappy paranoia! There is no such thing as ningen piercing my armor! There is no such thing as an indestructible ningen with my sword! There is no such thing as ningen to catch up with my beloved horse! Therefore, there is no reason to lose my Ningen flair!

and the Black Emperor put the Black Sword to heaven.

"I am the most powerful knight in the world - the Black Emperor!" More than my descent, every life is doomed to perish! Come on, my blow that won't even leave a wreckage will darken your Ningen history!

"Oh, no..."

Chloe tries to stop it somehow.

But I can't even stand with my hips falling out.

Even if I can move freely, there's nothing Chloe can do about it.

So much so that there is a difference in power between Chloe and - no, humanity and the Black Emperor.

Chloe was ready to die once again.

And...

'Come on, it's the dawn of the Black Age!!

Spaaaaaa!!!!!!!

The Dark Knight turned into two.

At the same time, the neck of a black horse with eight eyes blew away.

From sharp cuts, black blood erupts.

Unexpectedly, Chloe flatters.

The rain of blood stains the area black... is this what Black Emperor calls the "Black Age"?

I was interpreting it as something like that, that's when.

"Um... could it be that you didn't fly kamaitachi over here?

A boy walked in with regret.
