Chapter 19: The Knight's Agreement
update icon Updated at 2025/6/3 3:10:12

"Do you want to abandon your human body?"

"Can I?"

The blue knight appeared before me once again, like a shooting star approaching.

"I..." I hesitated in my response.

"Ah, poor human, you are not worthy to walk alongside me, so...die!"

My hands felt stiff, as if pierced by countless thorns, painful yet mournful!

Accompanied by a melody of extreme pain and the history of blood and tears spanning thousands of years, I returned to the point where our gears intersected...

Perhaps it was just the knight's emptiness and loneliness, so suppressing his desire to kill wasn't a matter of one or two years, right?

"Hmph," I sneered, "That guy is just an ordinary Evil Entity, but without the restraint of laws, it becomes so terrifying!"

"No way?!" Lan exclaimed, "The Evil Entity itself..."

We didn't eliminate the Frost Knight last time, and it seemed the result would be the same this time. After all, I knew how much power we used the last time.

Even after unleashing my own strength, it was still a close match. The Frost Knight was obviously a terrifying monster at the SSS level!

Ah, I wonder how much resentment it accumulated in this place to become such a high-ranked Evil Entity. It seems to have been here for countless ages...

When my divine hand first came into contact with it last time, I felt a sense of loneliness.

How should I describe that feeling? It was a sense of emptiness and solitude everywhere, even though there were pedestrians passing by every day, they seemed to not notice my existence at all.

"No!"

My expression immediately became more serious and cautious, with no hint of joking on my face.

Although that Evil Entity wasn't as terrifying as imagined, I had lost interest long ago!

The generation of Evil Entities itself is what people call "soul," but how could the soul affect human life? So, that's why the knight is so lonely, right?

The world may not always be as bright and shiny as it seems on the surface. The hidden darkness isn't truly concealed, but rather intentionally ignored...deceiving oneself and sinking into illusions.

To be honest, I have never been interested in doing things that would bewilder those around me, but today...heh heh, it seems that I have no choice but to do it, right?

Time passed little by little, and the frost still remained, the ruins of the surrounding city still trapped in the world of the cold warehouse.

There was no sign of life left in this world, only endless coldness and silence!

Ah, precisely because of this situation, our mission is still unfinished...

We once again arrived in this city filled with chilly atmosphere, buried skeletons everywhere, and fragments left behind by the Fieryfrost Knight's death...

Things didn't go as smoothly as we had imagined, it seems that the Evil Entity cannot be completely eradicated.

"Well, it seems that the fragments of the Fieryfrost Knight were taken away by some other Evil Entity...as expected, the Frost Knight does exist," Lan said solemnly.

Of course, even though the opponent is just an Evil Entity, the type that slips through the cracks, it should be easy. But for some reason...

"The fragments of the Frost of Fury are supposed to be very difficult to dissolve or extremely rare, definitely not something an ordinary person can handle."

Time passed little by little, but I still couldn't make up my mind to take this step!

Perhaps it really is my fault, perhaps God has truly abandoned us, perhaps... perhaps all of this is just a dream I've created!!!

Or maybe...

"It seems that it is indeed the case," Fuyu-sensei suddenly said, "the world that has been destroyed can never be saved again, perhaps everything was destined long ago?"

"What did you say?!" I shouted loudly.

I couldn't believe the reality before my eyes no matter what. After all, it was the world we once lived in, but now it has become this scene! I...

"Let's go... I know this used to be your home," Fuyu-sensei commanded me, "but there is nothing we need in this world, it's just another cycle of the moon."

"Okay..."
