To Be a Power in the Shadows!

The slaughter of Count Ragitta passes.

Goldo and Quinton had dodged that slaughter, which earlier rendered the two of them incapable of combat by a blow that had turned them into something.

"- Stupid huh!?

Count Ragitta opened his eyes in amazement.

But it was Goldo and Quinton who opened their eyes the same way.

"My body took it upon itself... no, you predicted?

"No, there's magic in me... Is this the Black Rose?"

The two, bewildered, laid their swords.

"Was the legend of 'Black Rose' true"

"We were chosen... I don't know why. But with this power - you can win!

The two scatter simultaneously and strike Count Ragitta from left to right.

"Don't get on well!! Where the Miscellaneous Fish Gained the Power of 'Black Rose' Huh!!

Count Ragitta's sword strike threw them back.

"- Cool!"

"Again, strong - heh!

They glanced at the sword pressure.

Count Ragitta's strength is not a vessel that fits into a local lord. It is not strange that he is known domestically and internationally as an amazing demon swordsman. Even considering that this is the kingdom of Oriana, where the status of Demon Swordsman is low, the fact that such a powerful man is anonymous was unusual.

If it were the two of us normally, we would have been the first ones not to win.

"Quinton, just for a moment... draw the Count"

"Okay, Goldo"

The two men, who had fought together several training grounds as slaves of Tulpicano, only made sense of each other.

Even with the power of "Black Rose," you won't beat this opponent alone.

But - if you two are.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Out roaring, Quinton pierces with his proud sword.

"Don't lick!! Such a monotonous move!!

Count Ragitta waits.

The Count's gaze captured Quinton's movements and tried to sweep them away.

At that moment, Quinton accelerated rapidly.

"Hey, what!?

From both legs of Quinton, black magic is erupting.

"Whoa, whoa!

"-Noooooooooo!

Quinton and the Count's sword cross, moving straight to the impending.

A simple battle of power.

Quinton, wrapped in black magic all over his body, pushes the Count in.

"Stupid!? So much power in" Black Rose "- huh!?

At the foot of the enduring Count, the floor breaks, and the bamboo spreads throughout the room.

Unfortunately, the Count twists his sword.

But - Quinton bought enough time.

"Evil God/Second Kill - Huh"

Goldo's golden magic swirls.

Quinton has seen over and over again, Goldo's special attack, Evil God, Second Killer, Golden Dragon Sword, is unleashed - it was supposed to be.

"Ko, this is-!"

The magic of gold is eroded by black magic.

It's supposed to shape a dragon. It draws a beautiful rose.

The golden magic stains completely black, and - is released.

"Evil God/Second Kill - Black Rose Sword!!

A running stream of black roses approaches Count Ragitta.

"Bye, silly!!

It swallowed the Count in an instant and evaporated him without leaving any dust.

Beautiful petals scatter.

After an awesome blow passed, the walls of the castle were pierced and the moon in the night sky was shining.

Flower petals that fall like snow dye the earth black.

Looking down, the faces of The Black Rose Vow looked up to Goldo.

"You did it, Goldo"

Quinton slaps Gordo on the shoulder.

"Did those guys win too..."

"Oh. Just respond to him."

"Respond...?

All the soldiers of The Black Rose Oath, looking up at the castle, had their right hands up.

Black petals carved - right hand.

"Those guys..."

"I don't know why, but we were chosen as Black Roses. Hey, Goldo. Wouldn't it be too soon to make a cut out for your life?"

"Quinton......"

"You don't know what we can do. I don't even know how far I can go. But if this country needs our help... do it."

"Quinton, then you..."

"I'm not a leader."

Quinton tapped Goldo's back lightly.

"Come on, we're all waiting."

Gordo looked over at the face of the 'Black Rose' with his right hand up.

For once, I tried to abandon them.

Guilt distorts Gordo's face.

But they want a flag to fight with.

Gordo stared at the black petal engraved on his right hand.

"Then let's respond..."

And Gordo himself wants to try.

"If I can..."

Gordo stepped forward and raised his right hand.

"It's our victory - heh!! Swear to 'Black Rose'!!

The cheer boiled and a black rose danced.
